A thrilling movie has been at the top of the Amazon Prime Video streaming charts for two weeks now. Unfortunately, the thriller starring Daisy Ridley went under in cinemas
If you’re looking for a streaming tip for the weekend, we have a great recommendation for you. Amazon Prime Video recently added The Slayer’s Wake to its catalog – and with great success. The bestselling film adaptation starring Daisy Ridley is the streamer’s most popular movie of the week.
This is the second time that The Huntress’ Awakening has taken the hotly contested top spot in the Amazon Prime Video streaming charts. The film already triumphed over the competition last week. This is quite surprising. Because at the beginning of the year when it was released in cinemas, the film barely managed to attract any attention.

As difficult as the change is for her, she never wants to go back to that traumatizing moor.
But then what had to happen happens: Jacob escapes from prison. This time he is after his own daughter’s daughter: He wants to take Helena’s own child away from her, but she does everything she can to prevent the past from repeating itself. Armed with a rifle, she sets off in pursuit of Jacob.
