Stream five recent horror films, from 'No More Time' to 'Self Driver'

A roundup highlights five recent horror films to stream or rent, ranging from a pandemic-set thriller to a rideshare-set satire. The selections discussed include No More Time, Friendship and Self Driver, alongside a summer-camp entry from Daniel DelPurgatorio and a Thanksgiving-set thriller starring Brittany O’Grady.

No More Time, the debut feature from writer-director Dalila Droege, follows a couple (Jennifer Harlow and Mark Reeb) who flee the city to a mostly deserted mountain town in an America under an unnamed contagion. The film mixes pandemic-era isolation, conspiracy and a sparse supernatural element—a mysterious stranger who communicates with trees—and was praised for Jay Keitel’s stark cinematography and Mary Ellen Porto’s unnerving sound design.

It is listed as available to rent or buy on major platforms. Friendship, the feature debut from writer-director Andrew DeYoung and starring Tim Robinson, is described as a dark, cringe-tinged comedy in which Robinson’s Craig becomes dangerously obsessed with a friend, Austin (Paul Rudd).

The piece notes that HBO Max includes that film in its "Make It a Thriller Night" category. Daniel DelPurgatorio’s summer-camp film centers on Morgan (Kue Lawrence), campfire tales of a maniac doctor who made monsters, and a shape-shifting approach that foregrounds coming-of-age themes before a twist that subverts expectations.
