Get ready for a spine-chilling treat this spooky season! The highly anticipated horror film 'Him' is about to hit digital platforms, offering a fresh scare for at-home viewers.
But here's where it gets controversial... Despite being marketed as a "new Jordan Peele movie," Peele had no direct involvement in the writing or directing. However, his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, was on board. So, is it really a Peele movie? That's up for debate.
'Him' stars Marlon Wayans as Isaiah White, an NFL quarterback who becomes a mentor to a young athlete named Cam (played by Tyriq Withers). Little does Cam know, his training will involve more than just physical endurance; it's a descent into a world of blood, violence, and cult-like rituals. With an ensemble cast including Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, and Jim Jefferies, 'Him' promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
While the film didn't impress critics and failed to make a splash at the box office, grossing just $25.2 million worldwide, it might just find its niche audience at home. And this is the part most people miss: sometimes, a movie's true impact is discovered in the comfort of your living room.
So, if you're eager to watch 'Him' without breaking the bank, here's the good news: we anticipate it streaming on Peacock and Amazon Prime Video in the coming months. No need to shell out $25 just yet!
Where to Watch 'Him' on Digital Platforms:
- Amazon Prime: Available to buy ($24.99) or rent ($19.99) from October 7, 2025, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (or 9 p.m. Pacific Time).
- Apple TV: Digital purchase or rental options available.
- Fandango At Home: Another platform offering digital access.
Bonus Features for Digital and DVD Release:
- Alternate ending
- Deleted end credits scene
- Five additional deleted scenes
- Director's commentary with Justin Tipping
- Behind-the-scenes featurettes
Streaming Availability on Peacock and Amazon Prime Video:
'Him' is not currently streaming on subscription services, but it's expected to arrive on Peacock soon. As a Universal movie, it will eventually stream on Peacock, the streaming service owned by Universal. After its Peacock run, it will make its way to Amazon Prime Video, thanks to a deal between Universal and Amazon.
Estimated Streaming Release Dates:
- Peacock: Mid-to-late November 2025, following a similar release pattern to another Universal film, 'The Phoenician Scheme.'
- Amazon Prime Video: Four months after its Peacock release, which means around April 2026, you can stream 'Him' for free with a Prime subscription.
These predictions are based on past release patterns, but it's important to note that Universal's digital release strategy has been inconsistent. For instance, 'The Woman in the Yard' took three months to stream on Peacock, deviating from the usual two-month wait. So, while we can make educated guesses, the exact timing remains a mystery.
If you're impatient and can't wait for the streaming release, you can always buy or rent a digital copy online. The choice is yours!
So, will 'Him' live up to the hype, or will it be a forgotten horror flick? Only time will tell. And remember, the best horror stories often have unexpected twists and turns. Keep an eye out for 'Him' and decide for yourself!
