The time is finally here. The biggest and most expensive television series in history has now begun streaming exclusively on Prime Video and looks to introduce a new generation to Middle Earth. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
‘We’re All Going to the World’s Fair’ (HBO Max)
A young teenage girl named Casey (Anna Cobb) spends her nights alone in her dimly lit room, scrolling through the internet and becoming intrigued by an online role-playing game called the “World’s Fair Challenge”. Those who take the challenge claim to go through bizarre and inexplicable changes, and once Casey joins in, she believes it’s happening to her too. Taking notes from the Paranormal Activity films, World’s Fair is told predominately through Casey’s webcam, making the scares more intimate and leaving you unable to look away.

‘Elvis’ (HBO Max)
This film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

‘Lords of Salem’ (Shudder)
One of Rob Zombie’s best films, starring his wife and muse Sheri Moon Zombie as a radio DJ with a checkered past named Heidi. The film takes place in Salem, Massachusetts and is far more atmospheric than most of the shock rocker’s other projects. Heidi receives a mysterious gift that triggers some disturbing flashbacks, and soon her life becomes entangled with a coven of malevolent witches with ominous plans. The Lords of Salem is Zombie at his most creative and unrestrained, filled to the brim with visceral and unnerving imagery, weighty ideas and of course, slamming metal tunes.
