11 movies to check out on Netflix this April

Netflix adds a few high-profile originals and a recent rom-com blockbuster to kick off the first full month of spring. Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver is the second chapter of Zack Snyder’s space epic starring Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, and Anthony Hopkins. Gillian Anderson plays journalist Emily Maitlis and Rufus Sewell plays a disgraced Prince Andrew in the biographical drama Scoop. Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell star in the rom-com Anyone But You, loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke play gunslinging lovers in Pedro Almodóvar’s short film Strange Way Of Life. Other movies added to Netflix’s streaming library in April 2024 include The Bricklayer, City Hunter, Wild Things, and more.

Wild Things (1998, available April 1)

It’s been 26 years since Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, and Matt Dillon hooked up to play a scheming threesome in the steamy, Florida-set, neo-noir thriller . Spring is the perfect season to stream the titillating John McNaughton-directed movie, also starring Kevin Bacon, Theresa Russell, Robert Wagner, and Bill Murray. There is a more explicit unrated version of Wild Things available on disc, but we’re not sure if Netflix is going to go for that or the R-rated theatrical version. Either way, dive in if you’re thirsty for ’90s thrillers.
