The Best Movies to Stream This Month (May 2026)

本月最佳流媒体电影推荐(2026年5月)

Summer has arrived, which means its vacation season—and there are plenty of travel tips to be found among the best movies on streaming this May. A bloody ballet battle royale in Budapest in Prime Video’s Pretty Lethal, a visit to the picturesque (and definitely not haunted) Dutch forests in Shudder’s Heresy, or an action-packed trip to Japan courtesy of Netflix’s My Hero Academia: You’re Next, are just some of the locations sure to give you wanderlust this month.

夏天已经到来,这意味着度假季开始了——在这个五月,你可以在流媒体平台的精选电影中找到许多旅行灵感。Prime Video 的《Pretty Lethal》中布达佩斯那场血腥的芭蕾大逃杀,Shudder 的《Heresy》中风景如画(且绝对没有闹鬼)的荷兰森林,或是 Netflix 的《我的英雄学院:You’re Next》中充满动作场面的日本之旅,这些电影中的取景地定会让你在这个月萌生出游的渴望。

If you fancy something a bit more tropical, then look no further than Send Help on Hulu—although director Sam Raimi’s twisty survival horror might have you thinking twice before turning on your out-of-office emails. And, if the rising temperatures are already too much, the Antarctic chill of John Carpenter’s classic The Thing, and its 1950s inspiration, The Thing From Another World, are both landing on Criterion. Here are WIRED’s picks of the best movies to watch right now.

如果你向往热带风情,那么 Hulu 上的《Send Help》绝对不容错过——尽管导演山姆·雷米(Sam Raimi)这部反转不断的生存恐怖片可能会让你在开启“自动回复”邮件前三思而后行。此外,如果气温升高让你感到烦躁,约翰·卡朋特(John Carpenter)的经典之作《怪形》(The Thing)及其 1950 年代的灵感来源《怪人》(The Thing From Another World)都已上线 Criterion 频道。以下是《连线》(WIRED)为您精选的近期必看电影。


Bugonia

《Bugonia》

A remake of Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet!, Bugonia sees paranoid conspiracy theorist Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons) and his autistic cousin Don (Aidan Delbis) kidnap prominent CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), subjecting her to inventive, brutal forms of torture as he tries to force a confession that she’s in contact with invading aliens. Fuller’s company also happens to be responsible for a botched medical trial that left Gatz’s mother comatose. So is Gatz just a troubled man struggling with grief, out for vengeance against a corrupt businesswoman, or has he stumbled on the greatest threat to humanity? Director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) has tremendous fun teasing out the answer, while Stone has rarely been as captivating on screen than she is as Fuller, somehow seeming like an animal playing with their food, even at her shaven-headed, desperate lowest points. Watch on Netflix

作为张俊焕 2003 年韩国电影《拯救地球!》的翻拍版,《Bugonia》讲述了偏执的阴谋论者泰迪·加茨(杰西·普莱蒙饰)和他的自闭症表弟唐(艾丹·德尔比斯饰)绑架了知名 CEO 米歇尔·富勒(艾玛·斯通饰),并对她施以各种极具创意且残酷的折磨,试图逼迫她承认自己与外星入侵者有联系。富勒的公司恰好曾负责一项失败的医疗试验,导致加茨的母亲陷入昏迷。那么,加茨究竟是一个深陷悲痛、向腐败女商人复仇的麻烦人物,还是他真的发现了威胁人类的最大危机?导演欧格斯·兰斯莫斯(《可怜的东西》、《宠儿》)在揭晓答案的过程中玩得不亦乐乎,而斯通饰演的富勒展现了她银幕生涯中罕见的迷人魅力,即便是在剃光头、陷入绝望的低谷时刻,她看起来也像是一只正在戏弄猎物的野兽。 观看平台:Netflix


My Hero Academia: You’re Next

《我的英雄学院:You’re Next》

As the fourth movie spin-off from the long-running anime series My Hero Academia, You’re Next might not seem like an obvious jumping-on point for original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi’s tale of trainee superheroes in a world where everyone has powers. Thankfully, this is largely stand-alone, allowing anyone who fancies a couple of hours of dynamic anime action to jump right in. All you need to know is that in the wake of a disaster, Izuku “Deku” Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita in Japanese, Justin Briner in English) and his classmates must face off against new villain Dark Might, a dark reflection of Japan’s once-greatest champion All Might—the hero who gave Izuku his powers in the first place. Throw in a mafia crime family, a cyborg butler, and a young girl with unpredictable new powers for Deku and his allies to test their mettle against, and only the stoniest of hearts won’t be entertained. Watch on Netflix

作为长篇动画系列《我的英雄学院》的第四部衍生电影,《You’re Next》对于那些不熟悉原作者堀越耕平笔下“人人皆有超能力”的见习英雄故事的观众来说,或许不是最显而易见的入门之作。好在,这部电影基本是独立成章的,任何想享受两小时动态热血动画的观众都可以直接观看。你只需要知道:在一场灾难之后,绿谷出久(日语配音:山下大辉,英语配音:贾斯汀·布里纳)和他的同学们必须对抗新反派“暗黑欧尔麦特”,他是日本曾经的最强英雄——也是赋予绿谷超能力的那个人——的黑暗镜像。再加上黑手党家族、半机械人管家,以及一个拥有不可预测新能力的女孩,绿谷和他的盟友们将面临严峻考验,除非铁石心肠,否则很难不被这部作品吸引。 观看平台:Netflix


Pretty Lethal

《Pretty Lethal》

Ask any trained dancer and they’ll tell you ballet is one of the most grueling things you can put your body through, requiring incredible poise and strength to perform, and a killer competitive streak to make it in the field. All three of those qualities, and a host of teenage snark, take to the stage in this brilliantly schlocky action outing from director Vicky Jewson, which sees five American ballerinas trapped in Budapest and having to adapt their skills to escape a violent war between two crime families—one led by deranged former ballerina Devora Kasimer (Uma Thurman, absolutely vamping every scene). Expect blood-soaked tutus, electrifying fight choreography, and one of the most creative uses of The Nutcracker suite on film. Watch on Amazon Prime Video

问问任何受过训练的舞者,他们都会告诉你,芭蕾是人体所能承受的最艰苦的运动之一,它需要惊人的平衡感和力量,还需要极强的竞争心才能在这一领域立足。导演维基·杰森(Vicky Jewson)在这部精彩的动作片中,将这三种特质与青春期的尖酸刻薄完美融合。影片讲述了五名美国芭蕾舞演员被困在布达佩斯,必须利用她们的技能在两个犯罪家族的暴力战争中求生——其中一个家族由疯狂的前芭蕾舞演员德沃拉·卡西默(乌玛·瑟曼饰,她在每一场戏中都极具张力)领导。准备好迎接血染的芭蕾舞裙、令人血脉偾张的动作编排,以及电影史上对《胡桃夹子》组曲最富创意的运用之一吧。 观看平台:Amazon Prime Video


Good Boy

《Good Boy》

When Todd (Shane Jensen) moves to his late grandfather’s run-down rural home, his dog Indy immediately senses the vibes are off. Outside, the surrounding woods are full of interesting smells and critters to chase. Inside, something emerges at night, preying on Todd, worsening his health and his sanity—all while Indy is guided by visions of Bandit, Todd’s grandfather’s dog, to uncover the dark forces at work. A horror movie from the dog’s perspective could have gone horribly wrong—the Hollywood dictum “never work with animals or children” exists for a reason. Anyone saying that never worked with Indy, though, as this award-winning superstar’s incredible canine performance elevates director (and Indy’s human) Ben Leonberg’s tightly told slice of terror into something truly special. Watch on Hulu

当托德(肖恩·詹森饰)搬进他已故祖父破旧的乡村住宅时,他的狗 Indy 立即察觉到气氛不对劲。屋外,周围的树林里充满了有趣的气味和可以追逐的小动物;屋内,某种东西在夜间出现,折磨着托德,使他的健康和精神状况每况愈下。与此同时,Indy 在托德祖父的狗 Bandit 的幻象指引下,试图揭开幕后的黑暗力量。一部从狗的视角出发的恐怖片很容易拍砸——好莱坞那句“永远不要和动物或小孩合作”的格言是有原因的。然而,说这话的人肯定没和 Indy 合作过,这位获奖巨星令人难以置信的表演,将导演(也是 Indy 的主人)本·莱昂伯格(Ben Leonberg)这部紧凑的恐怖片提升到了一个真正特别的高度。 观看平台:Hulu


Send Help

《Send Help》

When Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) and her boss Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) are stranded on a desert island after the private jet they’re on crashes, it’s a good thing that Linda has a host of survivalist skills to fall back on. It’s a bad thing that Bradley has spent months treating her like dirt, so while he’s injured and immobile, Linda’s just starting to live her best life—and she might not be in a rush to get back to the office. A psychotic revenge thriller where you can’t help but root for the psycho (O’Brien does such a good job as the asshole boss, you’ll want to punch your TV), Send Help smartly blurs in elements of horror and comedy alongside the deliberately unsubtle social commentary. And, while director Sam Raimi trades in his customary armies of darkness for sun-kissed tropical locales, he still serves up at least one particularly pants-wetting jump scare that proves he’s never too far removed from his Evil Dead roots. Watch on Disney+

当琳达·利德尔(瑞秋·麦克亚当斯饰)和她的老板布拉德利·普雷斯顿(迪伦·奥布莱恩饰)乘坐的私人飞机坠毁并被困在荒岛上时,琳达拥有一身生存技能是一件好事。但糟糕的是,布拉德利几个月来一直把她当垃圾对待,所以当他受伤动弹不得时,琳达反而开始享受生活了——她可能并不急着回到办公室。这是一部疯狂的复仇惊悚片,你会忍不住为那个“疯子”加油(奥布莱恩把那个混蛋老板演得太好了,你会想砸电视)。《Send Help》巧妙地将恐怖和喜剧元素融入其中,并伴随着刻意直白的社会评论。虽然导演山姆·雷米这次用阳光明媚的热带风光取代了他惯用的“黑暗军团”,但他依然奉献了至少一个让人吓尿的惊吓镜头,证明他从未远离《鬼玩人》(Evil Dead)的根基。 观看平台:Disney+


Heresy

《Heresy》

A bit of a festival darling, racking up plaudits around the world, including Austin’s cult-focused Fantastic Fest, Heresy (Witte Wieven) is folk horror with a feminist edge. In a medieval Dutch village, Frieda (Anneke Sluiters) is demonized by her deeply religious community for her inability to conceive, declared a witch, and persecuted even by her husband. It’s a setup that allows director Didier Konings to reframe all the trappings of the genre—the superstitious villagers, the blurred lines between faith and folklore, the fear of dark things lurking in the woods.

作为电影节的宠儿,《Heresy》(原名《Witte Wieven》)在世界各地收获了赞誉,包括奥斯汀专注于邪典电影的奇幻电影节(Fantastic Fest)。这是一部带有女性主义色彩的民俗恐怖片。在中世纪的一个荷兰村庄里,弗里达(安妮克·斯鲁特斯饰)因无法生育而被笃信宗教的社区妖魔化,被宣布为女巫,甚至遭到了丈夫的迫害。这一设定让导演迪迪埃·科宁斯(Didier Konings)得以重新构建该类型片的所有元素——迷信的村民、信仰与民间传说之间模糊的界限,以及对潜伏在森林中黑暗事物的恐惧。
