Over the course of one excessively blood-soaked night, multiple serial killers’ paths cross,
leaving a trail of bodies and begging the question:
Which psychopath will live to see morning?
“an overall environment of insanity, a kaleidoscope of bizarre behavior and shocking bloodshed.”
–Rue Morgue
“Psychopaths” is a dog whistle for midnight movie fans,
who are likely to cringe and laugh in equal measures.”
–The Cinemaholic
“With a hallucinatory visual and aural sense, and interspersed with nice nods to movies like
Taxi Driver and Audition, the film creates a nightmarish landscape of madness and murder.”

Every streaming service has the movies they champion that they know will excite people, along with originals they place at the front of the service when you log on. Certainly, a large majority of these flicks get the deserved hype, but this also tends to bury some great titles in the bowels of their available selection. It can certainly be fun to dig a bit deeper and look for some gems, and Prime Video is no exception when it comes to great content that you won’t see unless you actively seek it out.
Here are 10 titles that get overlooked but are very much worth adding to your queue. Check out each one below. We tried to piece together a list that spans multiple genres and decades to highlight the diversity of content you can find on Prime.
#6 CRUMB CATCHER
Newlyweds Shane (Rigo Garay) and Leah (Ella Rae Peck) are constantly at odds, and their honeymoon is filled with constant arguing. Yet, their stay at a remote cabin becomes tenser when a waiter from their service, John (John Speredakos), and his wife, Rose (Lorraine Farris), show up with a deal they can’t refuse. Using blackmail against Shane, the two begin to sell the couple a new product known as the Crumb Catcher. As the night goes on, the negotiations to invest in the product turn violent.
To be clear, Crumb Catcher will not be a comedy for everyone. The movie thrives on awkward social interactions, lacks likable characters, and has an absurd basic premise. This admission is not to sell the film short but to prepare a potential audience. Comedy fans of Tim and Eric, Quinten Dupieux, and Richard Bates Jr. will find a wonderful mix of absurdity, awkwardness, and disturbing elements to delight them. Additionally, John Speredakos’s role as a desperate and vindictive huckster is unforgettable for those who like disturbing characters.
