'Tis the season to stay indoors and catch up on the latest releases from the best streaming services. If you're wondering what to watch next, we've narrowed down the best new movies that have just appeared on streaming services to make your next movie-going experience unforgettable.

Topping the list this week are two blockbusters that have appeared on paid video-on-demand services: the psychic freebie “Venom: The Last Dance” and the psycho horror thriller “Heretic,” in which Hugh Grant plays against type. Elsewhere, “Joker: Carry-On,” a rare Netflix Christmas thriller, and Hulu's ever-timely satirical dark comedy.

Without further ado, here are the best new movies available for streaming.

You've heard of Christmas rom-coms, but how about Christmas thrillers, like Netflix's “Carry-On,” which will get your adrenaline pumping and keep you warm while the weather outside is frightful. Taron Egerton of “Rocket Man” and “Kingsman” fame plays Ethan Kopec, a TSA agent who is blackmailed by a mysterious traveler (Jason Bateman) into letting a dangerous package through security on Christmas Day.

With past projects like “Non-Stop” and “The Commuter,” “Carry On” director Jaume Collet-Serra has made a name for himself with one-location thrillers of this kind. Between the combination of two action powerhouses like Egerton and Bateman and an odd premise that goes off the rails enough to work, Netflix may have crafted the next must-see holiday movie.

I'm a big fan of the “Venom” movies, with their goofy performances and rapport between Eddie Brock and Venom (both played by Tom Hardy). Venom: Venom: The Last Dance is the third and supposedly final installment, but the mid- and late-credits scenes leave open the possibility of a continuation, making it the most awkward of the series. Still, it is an enjoyable film as long as you keep your expectations low.

Brock remains on the run after clashing with Carnage at the end of the second film, which ended with the murder of former detective Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham). He and Venom head to New York to prove his innocence, but in the process discover a world-destroying conspiracy and a number of other symbiotes who become reluctant allies during the big, flashy final battle.

“Heretic” easily ranks among my favorite films of the year. His character, Mr. Reid, welcomes two Mormon missionaries (played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) into his home, but as his evil true intentions come to light, it devolves into a deadly cat-and-mouse game.

This psycho-horror thriller takes its time before the real action begins, but the wordy first half keeps the viewer riveted and deeply disturbed thanks to the all-too-real tension these young women face as they try to befriend a potentially dangerous man. Heretic, like The Invisible Man and Get Out, is a thought-provoking horror film that should be on the watch list of any non-horror fan.”

The sequel to “The Joker” that no one asked for was released on Max: But you decide if “The Joker: For a Do” deserves to be hated. Directed by Todd Phillips, the film will feature Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as Arthur Fleck. Arthur Fleck is being held in Arkham while awaiting trial for the dramatic murder on live television that marked the end of the first film.

Life in prison and struggles with his dual personality have taken their toll. However, things begin to turn around when he meets Harleen “Lee” Quinzel (Lady Gaga) at a music therapy session. As Arthur's trial unfolds, the two begin a twisted romance, but things are not what they seem, especially as the trial takes a deadly turn.

This dark comedy about class warfare and infection is more fun than you might think. Written and directed by Austin Stark and Joseph Schuman, “The Coup” is a tasteful satire of bourgeois hypocrisy amidst a pandemic - or, rather, the flu of 1918.

Peter Sarsgaard plays an enigmatic crook named Floyd Monk. Monk convinces the rest of the staff to revolt against the patriarch, Jay Hornton (Billy Magnussen), and the psychological war between master and servant evolves into a class war.
