Here’s what you’ll find on offer on Virgin Media Store this month.


Wuthering Heights

Premium release. Buy or rent from Tuesday 31 March. Cert 15

The adaptation of Emily Brontës beloved novel about the tempestuous relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff is one of the most talked-about movies of the past year as youd expect from Emerald Fennell, writer/director of the provocative Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. Margot Robbie (Babylon) and Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein) are suitably sultry as the leads conducting their ill-starred romance on the stunningly windswept Yorkshire Moors, while the outlandish costumes and banging soundtrack by Charli XCX underline that this is definitely not your traditional period drama. Reactions have been extreme, so you really need to see it and make up your own mind.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, available this month on Virgin Media Store.

Premium release. Buy or rent now. Cert 18

Hot on the heels of last year’s horror hit 28 Years Later comes this sequel, which received glowing reviews thanks in large part to a memorably intense performance from Ralph Fiennes. When survivors of the apocalypse living on Holy Island venture to the mainland, they find there are more dangerous things than the humans infected with rage virus. A gang of marauders led by the charismatic Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (Sinners’ Jack O’Connell) is taking control of what’s left of society. Can Ian Kelson (Fiennes), the last standard bearer for civility, defeat these forces of chaos? Gripping and bloody, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

Shelter

Shelter, available this month on Virgin Media Store.

Premium release. Rent now. Cert 15

Fans of Jason Statham action movies must be among the best-served audiences in the world because there’s always a new one along every few months. The latest is the British-based Shelter, in which Statham plays a former government special forces operative who lives in isolation. But when his past catches up with him, he’s forced to take up arms again, and the bravura action sequences – imaginatively shot by stuntman turned director Ric Roman Waugh – come thick and fast. Young Hamnet actress Bodhi Rae Breathnach is a spirited sidekick, with Bill Nighy (The First Omen), Naomi Ackie (Mickey 17) and Daniel Mays (Fisherman’s Friends) also in the cast.

Mercy

Buy or rent now. Cert 12

In this speculative sci-fi movie, the traditional system of justice – slow, expensive, flawed – is being replaced by a supposedly foolproof procedure based on artificial intelligence. Charged with a violent crime? You’ve got 90 minutes to present convincing evidence in your defence to the AI judge or be executed. LAPD detective Chris Raven (Chris Pratt, The Terminal List) is a high-profile proponent of this new approach to crime and punishment… until he’s accused of killing his wife. A thought-provoking thriller with a chilling turn from Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout) as the avatar of the AI judge.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants

Buy or rent now. Cert PG

Bad news for SpongeBob: he’s grown tall enough to ride the rollercoaster, which means he’s got no excuse not to go on the terrifying ride. The yellow fellow aspires to be as brave as Mr Krabs and gets a chance to prove his courage when – of course – he accidentally raises the spirit of the ghost pirate known as The Flying Dutchman. SpongeBob and Patrick join the spectral crew for a rip-roaring undersea adventure in the best-reviewed movie in the series so far (83% on Rotten Tomatoes), with plenty of jokes for adults and youngsters. Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker himself, joins the regular voice cast as the Dutchman.

Kangaroo

Premium release. Buy or rent now. Cert PG

If your recipe for a feelgood film includes cute animals and an uplifting story of redemption, you’re in luck – Kangaroo has both in spades. After city slicker Chris (Ryan Corr, Hacksaw Ridge) loses his TV job, his life starts to spiral and he ends up on a remote outback road where a careless moment causes an adorable baby kangaroo to be orphaned. With help from plucky local youngster Charlie (Lily Whiteley), Chris realises that it’s his responsibility to take care of the joey, at least while his car’s being fixed. Will his small-town experience make him understand what’s important in life? Heart-warming fun.

Stray Kids: The DominATE Experience

Premium release. Buy or rent now. Cert 12

Not to be outdone by the comeback of K-Pop behemoths BTS, the similarly mega-selling Stray Kids are here with a spectacular concert film showcasing hits like “Chk Chk Boom”, “Giant” and “Maniac” among many more. Filmed at the SoFi Center in California during their mammoth DominATE world tour, which ran from August 2024 to July 2025, it’s a relentless stream of infectious music, eye-boggling stage sets and amazing dance routines. If you’re a fan, you’ll be in heaven; if you’re curious as to what K-Pop is all about, it’s the perfect introduction to the phenomenon in the company of this beautifully coiffured eight-piece band. There’s revealing behind-the-scenes footage too.

H Is For Hawk

Premium release. Buy or rent now. Cert 12

This adaptation of Helen Macdonald’s bestselling memoir stars Claire Foy (All Of Us Strangers) as Helen, who’s devastated by the loss of her beloved father (Brendan Gleeson, The Banshees Of Inisherin). In tribute to their shared love of nature, Helen deals with her grief in an eccentric fashion, by obtaining and attempting to train a goshawk she names Mabel. As the relationship between human and hawk deepens, those who care about Helen start to worry for her wellbeing. It’s an unusual and emotional story directed with huge empathy by Philippa Lowthorpe (Missbehaviour).

Pillion

Buy or rent now. Cert 18

Mild-mannered Colin (Harry Melling, The Pale Blue Eye) is thrilled when he catches the eye of handsome biker Ray (Alexander Skarsgård, The Northman) and the two begin an unlikely but mutually fulfilling liaison. But Colin’s mother Peggy (Lesley Sharp, Red Eye) thinks he’s being exploited and casts doubt on her son’s happiness. Colin has to figure out what he really wants – and who he really is – in this dark romantic dramedy from first-time feature director Harry Lighton that won prizes at festivals around the world and was nominated for three BAFTAs and 10 British Independent Film Awards.
