As the holidays are, sadly, behind us, we’ve rounded up a few movies to keep you company during the mandatory post-Christmas hibernation.
Ring in the new year with our selection of titles releasing in January on platforms including Netflix, Prime Video and NOW.
From a hotly-anticipated Netflix rom-com to a star-studded buddy comedy, here’s a list of some of the best films hitting our screens this month.
Sam Claflin leads this confined thriller revolving around a gang of criminals isolated in a rural hideaway as loyalties are tested and secrets come to light.
Cast is rounded out by Eddie Marsan, Suki Waterhouse, Burn Gorman, Tienne Simon and Rory Kinnear.
Directed by Barnaby Roper, All the Devils Are Here had its premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August 2025, where it was presented as “a gripping portrait of moral unravelling building towards an explosive reckoning”.
It earned mixed reviews, receiving praise for its “gusty” performances and “pitch-black character study” (via San Jose Mercury News).
Mike Flanagan returns with a fantasy drama led by Tom Hiddleston as the eponymous hero, Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz, a dancing-loving accountant whose life holds the key to the universe.
Told in reverse chronological order, the film follows Chuck in different phases of his life, starting with his death and going back to his childhood and adolescence, where the character is played by Jacob Tremblay.
Narrated by Nick Offerman, The Life of Chuck has a stacked cast joining Hiddleston, with stars including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024 before hitting cinemas in August last year.
Streaming on Netflix on 5 January.

Catch real-life bestie duo Ben Affleck and Matt Damon share the screen once again in The Rip, a Miami-based thriller releasing on Netflix.
The film follows a group of Miami cops who discovers an eye-popping stash of millions in cash and had to look over their shoulder as outsiders and supposed friends alike learn about the huge seizure.
Also starring are Teyana Taylor, Steven Yeun, Sasha Calle and Kyle Chandler.
Streaming on Netflix on 16 January.
