There’s an unsettling feel to many of the movies premiering on Sky Cinema this month. From a relationship going wrong in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestseller It Ends With Us to movie star murders in Maxxxine, from intimate betrayals in The Wasp to the dangers of technology in AfrAId, you’ll definitely want to watch with the big light on.

But if you’re in the mood for something a bit less dark and moody, there’s also family fun in Harold And The Purple Crayon and epic Western drama in Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.

And if you’ve been too busy over the past few months to keep up with all the new premieres on Sky Cinema, scroll down to see our round-up of all the latest titles available in On Demand.

Fight Or Flight

Josh Hartnett in Fight Or Flight, available on Sky Cinema in February 2025.

Available from Friday 28 February in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Nineties heartthrob Josh Hartnett made an impressive comeback with Oppenheimer and Trap and now he’s starring in this entertaining, tongue-in-cheek action movie that takes place at 30,000 feet. Hartnett is Lucas Reyes, a washed-up assassin tasked with taking out a hacker on a flight – but when he realises he’s not the only killer on board, the rules of the game change. Also starring Bridgerton’s Charithra Chandran and Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff.

Maxxxine

Mia Goth in Maxxxine, available on Sky Cinema in March 2025.

Available from Saturday 1 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 18

This is the third instalment in the offbeat slasher trilogy, written and directed by Ti West and starring Mia Goth (Suspiria), that started with X and continued with Pearl. We’re now in the 80s, and adult star Maxine Minx (Goth) has the chance to go legit in a studio horror movie. But a brutal killer is hunting film starlets – and Maxine is scared not only for her life but that her secrets will be revealed… Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown) and Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul) co-star.

Black Dog

Available from Sunday 2 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

Once a celebrated motorcycle racer, Lang (Eddie Peng) has returned to his home town on the edge of the Gobi Desert after falling on hard times and ending up in prison. In a bid to avoid a local gangster who’s got it in for him, he joins a project to round up stray dogs ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games. When he makes a connection with a black mutt, the two lonely souls see the opportunity to rebuild their lives. This unusual, heartfelt drama was a prize winner at the Cannes Film Festival.

Harold And The Purple Crayon

Available from Friday 7 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG

Young Harold is the main character of a children’s adventure book and can make anything come to life with his magic purple crayon. But when he’s older, the book’s narrator mysteriously disappears, and Harold must enter the real world to find him – but he soon falls into all sorts of scrapes and must rely on his endless creativity to save his pages… This colourful adaptation of the much-loved book by US author Crockett Johnson stars Zachary Levi (Shazam!), Zooey Deschanel (Elf) and Lil Rel Howery (Free Guy).

Blood For Dust

Scoot McNairy in Blood For Dust, available on Sky Cinema in March 2025.

Available from Saturday 8 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

After notable supporting roles in the likes of Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice and the recent Nightbitch, Scoot McNairy takes the lead in this critically praised crime thriller. He’s Cliff, a travelling salesman who’s fired after allegations of embezzlement and, unable to find work, falls in with former colleague Ricky (Game Of Thrones’ Kit Harington) and attempts to lend a veneer of legitimacy to his gun and drug dealing operation. Cliff is soon caught up in betrayal and violence and must rely on his wits to survive.

The Good Half

Available from Sunday 9 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Writer Renn (Nick Jonas, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle) returns to his home town for his mother‘s funeral – but facing up to his past proves more complicated than he expected. As he deals with his grief, he also finds the potential for a new start. Robert Schwartzman’s evocative comedy drama, which could work as a companion piece to Azazel Jacobs’ excellent His Three Daughters, co-stars Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect), Matt Walsh (Veep) and Alexandra Shipp (Anyone But You).

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1

Available from Friday 14 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Yellowstone star Kevin Costner returns to the subject matter that brought him his greatest cinematic successes (Dances With Wolves, Wyatt Earp) with this epic drama about the settlement of the American West. Directed and co-written by Costner, it centres on the frontier town of Horizon, and explores how the Civil War and other conflicts tore families apart as they attempted to establish roots in a new land. Sienna Miller (Anatomy Of A Scandal), Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jena Malone (Love Lies Bleeding) star alongside Costner himself.‌

It Ends With Us

Available in March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

After starting out as a self-published author in 2012, Colleen Hoover has become one of the world’s biggest-selling writers, and this adaptation of her best-known work is surely the first of many. Blake Lively (A Simple Favor) stars as Lily, a florist who begins a relationship with an intense surgeon – but when an old love reappears in her life, matters get complicated and past trauma begins to resurface for everyone involved. Dark and unsettling, this is a drama that goes down unexpected paths.‌

Sneaks

Animated movie Sneaks, available on Sky Cinema in March 2025.

Available in March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert TBC

Animated films have anthropomorphised everything from racing cars to candlesticks – so why not shoes? Sneaks is the story of Ty, a designer trainer who lives in a velvet-lined box. But when his sister is stolen by an unscrupulous collector, Ty must leave his comfort zone and head to the streets of New York to find her. There he meets other shoes and discovers that there’s more to life than luxury… and could he even find a sole mate? Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World), Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys) and singer Macy Gray lend their voices to this love letter to sneaker culture.‌

The Wasp

Naomie Harris in The Wasp, available on Sky Cinema in March 2025.

Available in March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

This dark, twisty British drama starts with two childhood friends, Heather (Naomie Harris, Moonlight) and Carla (Natalie Dormer, White Lies), reuniting after many years. But reminiscing isn’t top of the agenda. Heather first reveals that her husband has been cheating on her – and then asks Carla if she will kill him. Secrets, lies and betrayals emerge and, as you’d expect from the title, there’s a serious sting in the tail. Scriptwriter Morgan Lloyd Malcolm adapted her own acclaimed play for the screen, and director Guillem Morales has plenty of experience in this macabre genre: he directed 14 episodes of Inside No.9.

AfrAId

Available in March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Married couple Curtis (John Cho, Star Trek) and Meredith (Katherine Waterston, The End We Start From) are offered the use of a revolutionary new AI assistant. Grateful for the help, they accept – and if you were expecting a horrifying tale of how tech turns on those it’s meant to be serving, think again. In fact, the digital attendant is extremely diligent in its duties. A bit too diligent, in fact, and others soon suffer the consequences… A gripping cautionary tale about the risks of replacing humans with technology, this comes from Blumhouse, the studio behind M3GAN and The Black Phone.
