Subscribers of Hulu, you’ve got loads to look forward to this month, from box sets, to new series, to classic movies, to fresh features – they’ve got it all. Here are our top picks:
New Features
Tom of Finland
Release date: February 12th

The Villainess
Release date: February 21st
The Villainess, a.k.a. “the craziest action movie of last year”, is making its way to Hulu with all of its South Korean gonzo junkiness allegedly all hatched from director Byung-gil Jung’s own “demented” imagination. It’s got murder, violence, and a scene reminiscent of the hallway fight from Oldboy, but thrice as long and thrice as savage. Yikes!
Detroit
Release date: February 23rd
Kathryn Bigelow directs John Boyega in a beautifully shot story revisiting a shocking incident that took place amid five days of rioting in the summer of 1967. Detroit offers disturbing insight into police brutality and civil unrest in 1960s Motor City, made all the more alarming by its relevance to the present day.
