3 new to Prime Video thriller movies to watch this week — including a chilling Martin Scorsese classic with Robert De Niro (Sept. 1-7)
Prime Video's massive September 2026 movie drop includes a trio of gripping thrillers that deserve a place in your watchlist this week.
This week, Prime Video subscribers have a bounty of new thriller movies to choose from. Three stand-out picks include "Atomic Blonde," "Cape Fear," and "Don't Breathe."
"Atomic Blonde" (2017) is an action-thriller starring Charlize Theron as MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton. The film, inspired by "John Wick" and directed by David Leitch, delivers high-octane action sequences and a neo-noir aesthetic. Theron's character is tasked with retrieving a stolen watch that holds the names of all active intelligence agents in Berlin, leading her into a dangerous game of espionage. Theron fans will appreciate this film's stylish, adrenaline-fueled ride.
"Cape Fear" (1991) is a remake of the 1962 film, featuring a chilling psychological thriller directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro. De Niro plays Max Cady, a convicted psychopath seeking revenge against his former public defender, played by Nick Nolte. Scorsese's direction brings the story to life with a relentless sense of tension, culminating in a gripping conclusion on the Cape Fear River. Fans of De Niro's work will find this a must-watch for its unforgettable villain and masterful filmmaking.
"Don't Breathe" (2016) is a tense and suspenseful horror-thriller directed by Fede Álvarez. Without relying on gore, the film relies on atmosphere and a sense of dread to keep viewers on edge. Set in Detroit, three thieves (played by Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto) target a blind war veteran (Stephan Lang) as their victim, only to find themselves trapped in his home.
The film's twist is a stomach-turning moment that leaves a lasting impact. "Don't Breathe" proves that a killer premise and atmospheric filmmaking can create a thrilling experience without relying on excessive special effects.
