Elsewhere, Hulu’s got the twisted erotic thriller Wild Things starring Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, and Neve Campbell, Peter Jackson’s The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, the Tina Turner biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It starring Angela Bassett, the Fourth of July-set slasher movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, and much more. So declare your independence from watching bad movies in July and check out the 12 titles streaming on Hulu that caught our eye.

Alien (available July 1)

The upcoming Alien film directed by Fede Álvarez was supposed to be released on Hulu next year but is now slated for a theatrical release in August 2024. Shortly after this news was made public, all four of the original Alien films—including 1979’s directed by Ridley Scott—were made available on Hulu. The atmospheric sci-fi/horror masterpiece about the crew of the salvage ship Nostromo and their battle with an alien life-form is still the stuff of nightmares thanks to H.R. Giger’s xenomorph design and Sigourney Weaver’s iconic performance as Ellen Ripley.
