There are many good things about the modern world of streaming, but we’ve got to say it’s still such a pleasing feeling when a buzzy film comes to streaming without making you wait for a couple of years.

That’s what’s happened withSaltburn, one of the most discussed films this winter, which hasjust hit Amazon Prime Videothanks to the involvement ofAmazonStudios in its production – you can watch it right now at no extra cost if you’re a Prime member. And you can watch the trailer below for free, which will surely tempt you.

Saltburnis the second feature film from director and writer Emerald Fennell, who made such a crazy splash with her full-length debutPromising Young Woman, starring Carey Mulligan, back in 2020. Like that movie,Saltburnis dark(like almost full capital lettersdark)– it’s a pretty twisted comedy-thriller that goes to some frankly unbelievable places over the course of a couple of hours.

It’s not just an exciting director to consider, though –Saltburnhas an absolutely mind-boggling array of acting talent in it, too. It stars Barry Keoghan as a bookish student at the University of Oxford who becomes unlikely friends with a stunningly wealthy and charming student – Jacob Elordi, who broke through in spectacular style in HBO’sEuphoria(also a must-watch, which you canpick up in the UK on NOW, rather than the USA’s MAX).

That’s a pretty big-name pairing in the leads, but you also get a welcome splash of Rosamund Pike as the rich boy’s brittle, fragile mother, making it a real treat to watch them all dance around each other as things get more hectic throughout the film. And hectic they do get, as is rather clear from the eclectic selection of film stills in the gallery below:
