Movies That Make You Think — Part 16



Four watch-now picks with that “hangs in your head afterward” quality — paranoia, family secrets, survival, and space.

Bugonia (Peacock)

A conspiracy spiral that starts as dark comedy and turns into something sharper — two true believers kidnap a CEO they’re convinced is not human.



Inheritance (Hulu)

A father’s buried past detonates into an international conspiracy — tense, fast, and built around the question of who you can trust.



Eden (Netflix)

A true-story island escape that turns into a pressure cooker — paradise, control, and what happens when other people show up.



Ad Astra (Peacock)

A quiet, beautifully shot space odyssey that’s really about obsession and loneliness — and the emotional wreckage left behind.
