Hulu is a great streaming service for streaming new movies. Not only does it regularly add originals and classics to its library, but, because it's owned by Disney, it's the streaming home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It's the perfect place to start building your next movie marathon.This weekend, I have three movies recently added to Hulu that are a must-watch. They're all relatively new releases, too. "Descendent" was a well-liked extraterrestrial sci-fi thriller from last year that just landed on Hulu. "Afraid" is also a sci-fi movie with some thrilling elements that's new to Hulu, though admittedly, it's far less well-liked. Finally, there's "Arco." This movie also has sci-fi elements, but without the horror vibes. It's a must-watch for any Studio Ghibli fan, and was even nominated for an Oscar just this year.So here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend.
