The 7 Best New Movies Coming to Prime Video in September 2024 (2024)

Fresh off the heels of releasing The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2, Prime Video is firing on all cylinders with its film lineup for September 2024. There aren't too many brand-new Amazon originals coming to the service this month. That being said, the vast majority of the films that are being added to Prime Video are all-time classics that subscribers have to see if they haven't already.

Several big titles are on the docket for Prime Video this September. This includes a beloved cult classic from the Coen Brothers, an adored science-fiction parody, and one of the best-animated films of the past decade. What films can you expect from Amazon's massively successful streaming platform this month? Here are just seven of the best movies coming to Prime Video in September 2024.

'Army of Darkness'

(1993)

Army of Darkness breaks all the rules of a successful horror sequel, yet somehow manages to work exceptionally well. It may be the third entry of the original Evil Dead trilogy, but Army of Darkness takes a much more action-packed approach to the legendary IP and can be watched and enjoyed without watching any prior knowledge of the Evil Dead saga. Following the events of Evil Dead II, the one-handed Deadite killer Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is transported back to the Middle Ages - a time period where the charismatic supermarket employee feels entirely out of place. While he's desperate for a way back home, the only way to return to his timeline is to use the dreaded Necronomicon.

Army of Darknesswill be available to stream on Prime Video on Sunday, September 1st, 2024.

With the help of his friends, Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi), The Dude will not only find the answer, but he'll also become involved in a truly bizarre mystery.
