Like M3GAN 2.0? Watch these seven sci-fi horror movies next
If M3GAN 2.0 is anything like the original film, that means it's going to be a unique combination of science fiction, horror, and even comedy. That movie turned the original into a phenomenon, and if you liked Megan 2.0 just as much, we've got the perfect list for you. We've pulled together seven excellent films that combine science fiction and horror. These movies range from classics to more recent ones you might not have heard of. Regardless of what you're looking for, you're likely to find it here. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Alien (1979) One of the definitive sci-fi horror movies, Alien leans into all the elements of a conventional slasher movie and happens to be a great version of that. What makes the movie really sing, though, is its distinctly sci-fi production design, as well as the secrets the movie has up its sleeve. Whether you've seen Alien 30 times or this would be your first watch, it's the kind of movie you can watch over and over again without ever getting tired of it. Tense, filled with great actors, and featuring some of the best creature design in the history of film, Alien spawned a franchise for a reason. You can watch Alien on Hulu. The Thing (1982) Although it wasn't universally beloved upon its release, The Thing has become a classic in the decades since, and with good reason. The movie tells the story of a group of arctic scientists who find themselves face-to-face with an alien lifeform that can assume the likeness of any creature it kills. As they slowly come to realize that they can no longer believe their eyes, the scientists have to figure out a way to root out the alien life form before it turns them all against one another. Featuring some of the best direction of John Carpenter's career, The Thing is every bit as tense as any horror movie ever made. You can watch The Thing on Amazon Prime Video. The Host (2006) More than a decade before Bong Joon-ho made Parasite and rocketed to international acclaim, The Host was proving that Bong knows exactly how to make great, genre-busting movies. The film follows a street vendor who works to rescue his daughter after she is kidnapped by a monster that emerges from the Han River after military waste was dropped into the river. Both an ecological thriller and something even stranger, The Host is a movie that is both focused on the one family's journey and on the broader system that might allow a creature like this to exist in the first place. You can watch The Host on Max. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Although this isn't the first Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it's almost undoubtedly the best. The film tells the story of a group of people in San Francisco who slowly begin to suspect that everyone around them is being replaced by mindless automatons. Although the movie's story began as a metaphor for communism, it still works even decades later. The movie's ending, one of the more unsettling in the history of movies, is just as tense as the rest of the affair, in which the group is slowly winnowed away as they fight to save their very souls from mindless autonomy. You can watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers on Max. Annihilation (2018) Perhaps the strangest film on this list, Annihilation tells the story of a group of scientists who are recruited to investigate a mysterious biozone known as the Shimmer. As they venture into its depths, they discover the way it has transformed the biology of everything living there. The group learns more about why each of them decided to make such a perilous journey in the first place. The third act of Annihilation is hard to interpret on a purely plot level, but the movie works nonetheless because it has so carefully calibrated the emotional journeys of each of its central characters. You can watch Annihilation on Paramount Plus. No One Will Save You (2023) A more recent addition to this list, No One Will Save You follows a young woman living in isolation in a small town. When an alien invasion descends, she finds herself fighting for her own survival. The central gimmick of No One Will Save You is that the film is almost entirely wordless, which means that it relies heavily on the performance of Kaitlyn Dever, who is more than up to the task. As we learn more about the reasons she's living in isolation, we come to appreciate both the guilt she carries with her and why she ultimately forms something of a unique relationship with the alien invaders. You can watch No One Will Save You on Hulu. Ready Or Not (2019) One of the great thrillers of the past 10 years, Ready or Not tells the story of a young woman who marries into a wealthy family, only to discover that they have a ritual in which they play a board game every time someone joins the family. If that game is ready or not, then they play it to the death. As she finds herself fighting for her own life against a family determined to hunt her down, she begins to realize that marrying rich might not be all it's cracked up to be. Ready or Not is funny, scary, and every bit as gory as you might hope it'd be. You can watch Ready or Not on Hulu.

Love Island USA: Where the couples stand after Casa Amor
The dust has settled — a bit — on this season of Love Island now that the main villa and Casa Amor have merged once again. Friday night saw a big shake up as Casa Amor ended and all 24 cast members made it to the villa in Fiji. An elaborate re-coupling saw some couples get back together after the short Casa Amor break, but also saw the emergence of some new ones. Taylor shook things up by choosing Clarke over his partner from the start, Olandria, but she was saved by her fellow cast members to remain in the villa as a single. Elan was also saved by the group, sending home Coco, Vanna, J.D. and Zac. Amaya (Zak), Taylor (Clarke), Pepe (Gracyn), Austin (Jaden), Huda (Chris) and Andreina (Bryan) all found partnerships with someone that joined during the Casa Amor break. Here is how the couples stand as we head into what is sure to be a big night in the villa: A new episode of Love Island airs on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET every night except Wednesday.

Love Island USA tells viewers to stop harassing contestants: 'Remember they're real people'
Where's the love? Love Island USA — currently in its seventh season and the most-watched streaming reality show in the U.S. — has issued a rare and serious warning to its many fans that harassing its contestants will not be tolerated. This comes as viewers have increasingly criticized the show's cast members online. The attacks amped up after a recent round of eliminations and the introduction of some new cast members. The show's host, Ariana Madix, even warned viewers during one recent aftershow: "Don't be contacting people's families. Don't be doxing people. Don't be going on islanders' pages and saying rude things." During Tuesday's episode, Peacock broadcast a message that read: "The keyword in Love Island is… Love. We love our fans. We love our Islanders. We don't love cyberbullying, harassment or hate." Around the same time, the show made a similar reminder in a post on X and Instagram. "We appreciate the fans, the passion for the series, and the amazing group of Islanders who are sharing their summer with us," they wrote. "Please just remember they're real people — so let's be kind and spread the love!" CBC News has reached out for comment to NBC, which runs the Peacock streaming platform, but hasn't heard back. On Love Island USA, a group of single men and women move into a remote villa with the goal of finding love. The contestants couple up based on first impressions. Those relationships are tested. Do they have lasting chemistry? They also have the option of exploring connections with other people, including a stream of new singles who arrive throughout. At different points, viewers are invited to vote for their favourite couples. Contestants are eliminated throughout the show, and in the end, the public votes for the winning couple, who get a cash prize if they both choose to stay together. The show's seventh season debuted June 3 and average viewership has quadrupled since, according to a NBC Universal press release. But the show's popularity also extends beyond the screen — NBC says Love Island USA generated some 54 million social media interactions across platforms between June 2 and June 19 alone. And a lot of it is negative. Noah Sheline, who has a daughter with contestant Huda Mustafa, has spoken out on social media about the backlash against his ex, for instance. Last week, Sheline posted on TikTok pleading with people to be nice, for both Mustafa's sake and for their daughter's, according to People. "Her going on that show to find love, or whatever you think it was she's doing, remember she's still human, she has a daughter, and a life," he wrote. "It's crazy I have to involve myself in this but I don't want my daughter's mom to get out and see this and her mental health goes down a hill." (The cast doesn't have access to social media while they're filming the show.) WATCH | What it's really like on reality TV: One of the Love Island franchise staples is a twist called Casa Amor, where the couples are split into separate villas to spend time with new (sexy) singles. And this year, one of those singles is Elan Bibas, who grew up in Richmond Hill, Ont., and attended Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. Bibas, who is Jewish and has posted online about visiting Israel, has reportedly been called a "threat" by viewers online because of his background. Some posts on social media have accused him of being an IDF soldier (there is no evidence he has ever been one), or have expressed worry that a Palestinian castmate is in danger. People online got especially fired up when Bibas and Mustafa, who is of Palestinian descent, kissed on the show earlier this week. People have posted that they're disgusted and want to vomit, and have left comments on Bibas's Instagram posts accusing him of murder, calling him a serial killer, and saying they refuse to watch the show until he's gone. The backlash was so bad that the Anti-Defamation League chimed in Wednesday about the idea of him being a threat. "It's blatantly antisemitic to label a Jewish man who has visited Israel as 'dangerous,'" the New York-based NGO posted on TikTok. "Attacks on Elan and efforts to villainize him are hateful and baseless." Love Island certainly isn't the only franchise with an online harassment problem. Stars of The Bachelor have previously spoken out about the hate they get online. In 2020, during a "Women Tell All" special, bachelorette Rachel Lindsay led a segment on online harassment. Lindsay was the show's first Black bachelorette. "I feel like you guys hear us talk about the hate that we receive, but you have no idea what it is," Lindsay said. "The only way I can actually make you feel it is for you to see it, so I want to start out by reading some of these messages that these women have received." She then read a series of messages encouraging the women on the show to kill themselves, calling them names, and threatening to harm them. And last year, fans of the Netflix stalking drama Baby Reindeer were so determined to identify the show's characters that the show's creator made a public plea for people to stop the sleuthing. But it didn't work, and after armchair detectives identified the so-called stalker as Fiona Harvey, she sued Netflix. She said she was tormented online.
