It didn’t take long for one of the year’s most erotic thrillers to make a big impact on steaming. After releasing on VOD earlier this week, the film has quickly shot up the digital charts to become the #1 movie in the world, even though it was blasted by critics for being “bland and lifeless.”
Dakota Johnson & Anne Hathaway Deliver a Seductive Thriller
Led by Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Harnett, Verity blends dark family secrets and sexual obsession to deliver an increasingly disturbing mystery. Johnson stars as Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer tasked with finishing the bestselling book series of acclaimed novelist Verity Crawford (Hathaway).
However, what seems like a life-changing opportunity takes a dark turn when Lowen discovers a disturbing manuscript that appears to contain shocking confessions about Verity’s life. As she grows closer to Jeremy (Hartnett), Verity’s husband, it becomes harder and harder for her to separate fact from fiction in the twisted thriller, which has already seduced the masses on streaming.
Released on all VOD platforms on Oct. 27, Verity wasted no time making its presence felt on streaming. After just one day, the film based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel quickly shot up the charts to become the #1 movie in Apple TV’s storefront. Per Flix Patrol, it pushed the previous leader, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, down to second, while Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller The Dog Stars debuted in third place.
/* Streaming Top 10 vignette. All rules are scoped under .st10.
One card with two faces (Movies, TV) that flips in 3D. Movies follows the
reader’s light/dark setting and TV is the opposite, so a flip always
changes the colour scheme. Neutrals are sampled from movieweb.com; the
open streamer’s brand colour (adapted for contrast) drives the frame,
active tab, highlight, change arrows and NEW badge. */

Clocking in at 117 minutes, Verity is definitely a movie to watch after the kids go to bed. While other films based on Hoover’s books (such as Regretting You and Reminders of Him) are relatively tame, this one takes things to a whole new level. It earned an R-rating due to its strong erotic content, and if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a bit of gore tossed in for good measure.
‘Verity’ Has Been Called Everything from “Terrible” to “Amazing”
Despite soaring to the top of streaming in short order, reactions to Verity have been mixed, to say the least. The film holds just a 31% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with Sandie Angulo Chen from Common Sense Media writing, “This glossy erotic thriller wastes its talented cast, proving to be yet another underwhelming Hoover adaptation.” Korey Coleman from Double Toasted went one step further, writing:
“Verity is one of the worst movies of the year — a lazy, trite film released solely because of Colleen Hoover’s name.”
That being said, viewers have had much more positive reactions to Verity, scoring it a respectable 72%. “The acting was excellent and the plot twists kept us guessing and on the edge of our seats,” wrote one satisfied customer. “This movie was thrilling and up to par with the book,” wrote another.
Needless to say, Verity has proven to be quite divisive thus far, but that shouldn’t dissuade anyone from checking it out. It’s filled with crazy twists, morally ambiguous characters, and enough heat to make even the most jaded of viewers blush, which is the hallmark of any good erotic thriller.
