NEW ON PARAMOUNT PLUS IN JULY 2024: TOP PICKS
‘Drag Me to Hell’
"Drag Me to Hell" has to be one of the best horror movies ever made just based on its ending. The plot centers on Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), a loan officer at a bank in Los Angeles. In an attempt to impress her boss and secure a promotion, Christine denies an elderly woman named Sylvia Ganush (Lorna Raver) an extension on her mortgage. In retaliation, Ganush places a curse on Christine that will lead to her being dragged to hell in three days (yes, pretty savage).
As the curse begins to take effect, Christine experiences a series of terrifying supernatural events. Desperate to save herself, she seeks help from a psychic named Rham Jas (Dileep Rao). Together, they try various methods to break the curse, but as time runs out, Christine faces increasingly horrific challenges.
Premiers July 1 on Paramount Plus
‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’
"Martha Marcy May Marlene" has to be one of the best movies about cults. It follows a young woman named Martha (Elizabeth Olsen), who escapes from an abusive cult. Upon fleeing the cult, Martha contacts her estranged sister, Lucy (Sarah Paulson), who takes her to the lakeside home she shares with her husband, Ted (Hugh Dancy). Despite the seemingly safe environment, Martha's sense of reality becomes increasingly distorted. She experiences paranoia, flashbacks, and difficulty distinguishing between her past experiences in the cult and her current life.

‘Memory’
"Memory" is a psychological drama that revolves around a woman named Sylvia (Jessica Chastain), who leads a solitary and seemingly stable life, but her past traumas come flooding back when she encounters a man named Saul (Peter Sarsgaard) at a high school reunion. Saul, who suffers from dementia, brings up disturbing memories from Sylvia's past, triggering a deep psychological journey for her. Chastain actually won the Independent Spirit award as best lead performance in “Memory," which first premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in 2023.
Premiers July 7 on Paramount Plus
‘Melissa Etheridge: I'm Not Broken’
"Melissa Etheridge: I'm Not Broken" is a documentary series that follows rock musician Melissa Etheridge as she connects with five female inmates at the Topeka Correctional Facility in Kansas. The series is inspired by letters sent to Etheridge by these women, detailing their personal struggles and experiences. Etheridge uses these letters as inspiration to write and perform an original song for them.
The documentary highlights the significant rise in female incarceration rates and the often-overlooked challenges faced by incarcerated women. Etheridge, who has personally faced the loss of her son to opioid addiction, brings a profound sense of empathy and understanding to the project.
Premiers July 9 on Paramount Plus
‘Mafia Spies’
A six-part docuseries called “Mafia Spies” is another one to add to your list. It delves into the covert collaboration between the CIA and the Chicago mob during the Cold War. The series, based on Thomas Maier's book "Mafia Spies: The Inside Story of the CIA, Gangsters, JFK, and Castro," explores the plot to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. This partnership between government agents and mobsters was fueled by the tensions of the era, particularly after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and highlights the lengths to which the U.S. government was willing to go to eliminate perceived threats. The series features interviews with historians, journalists, and people directly connected to the events, including the daughter of mob boss Sam Giancana and actor Robert Davi.
