Screen & Chill: This Weekend’s Picks (Nov, Wk 2, 2025)

1. Meadowbrook Hearts

Where to watch: Available free on YouTube

What it’s about: Two people reconnect at a reunion of sorts and realise maybe the “just friends” label was always too small. Think weddings, second chances, and the kind of conversation you don’t say out loud until you really mean it.

Cast: Baaj Adebule, Olawunmi Adenibuyan (“Bambam”), Ekama Etim-Inyang, Bobby Ekpe, Isioma Ilesanmi, Jblaze Oyegbila.

Why watch it: It’s light, warm and full of Nigerian flavour. Perfect for a chill night when you just want to feel something without heavy lifting.

2. The Herd

Where to watch: In cinemas

What it’s about: A wedding supposed to be a high point turns into something else entirely. What should have been joy ends up being dangerous, and love becomes complicated by survival and secrets.

Cast: Daniel Etim Effiong, Genoveva Umeh, Kunle Remi, Norbert Young, Bolaji Ogunmola, Tina Mba, Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, Patrick Doyle, Jaiye Kuti, Adedimeji Lateef, Deyemi Okanlawon, Mercy Aigbe.

Why watch it: If you’re in the mood for something tense and textured, this one gives you an emotional ride with familiar faces and real stakes.

3. A House of Dynamite

Where to watch: Streaming now on Netflix

What it’s about: A missile has been launched. No one knows who fired it. The U.S. government scrambles. Power, politics and “what do we do next” all collide.

Cast: Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts.

Why watch it: For when you want full-on tension. It’s smart, fast-moving and leaves you thinking after the credits roll.

4. The Woman in Cabin 10

Where to watch: Streaming on Netflix.

What it’s about: A journalist boards a luxury yacht for an assignment, sees something horrific, and no one believes her. So she has to figure out what’s real and how to stay alive.

Cast: Keira Knightley, Guy Pearce, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, Art Malik.

Why watch it: If you like “is it real or am I imagining?” vibes, this one gives you that anxiety in a cool setting (yacht, sea, luxury) but you’re still on edge.

5. Say Who Die

Where to watch: Stream on Amazon Prime Video

What it’s about: Twins. Secrets. Debt. A mix of crime and dark comedy. The kind of story where you don’t know if you should laugh or be scared.

Cast: Oiza Abu, Meyi Abu, Baaj Adebule, Mike Afolarin, Toni Tetuila, Evaezi, Eve Bankong, Folaremi Agunbiade.

Why watch it: It’s a bit rough around the edges but fun for when you want something off-beat, Nigerian, a little chaotic and just different.

Whether you want romance, thrill, action, luxury or weird twisted plots, there’s something for every vibe here. Grab your snacks, pick your mood and dive in.
