How to watch Knives Out online (with a free trial)

After copping an unnecessary amount of heat for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (the best Star Wars movie), Rian Johnson cleansed his palate with nerd tears and went about his business, creating some of the most compelling mainstream Hollywood movies with 2019’s Knives Out.

This Clue-like murder mystery turns the tables on your typical whodunit by letting the viewer in on the secret early. We quickly learn whodunit but what we don’t know is why they dunit. There are satisfying twists at every turn as we learn more about the bitter and privileged family of the victim, wealthy novelist, and patriarch Harlan Thrombey.

Knives Out is a top-shelf murder mystery streaming on Binge, Prime Video, and Foxtel Now. It’s also available to rent or buy through all the usual digital suspects (Google Play, iTunes, etc.)

Amazon’s Prime Video is quickly becoming one of Australia’s favourite streaming destinations. Besides some genuinely outstanding original TV shows, it also has some of the latest and greatest mainstream blockbusters, Knives Out, included. Best of all, subscriptions are dirt-cheap at $9.99 per month. Even still, if you’re keen to try before you buy, Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial.

If you haven’t heard about it already, Binge is Foxtel’s more affordable streaming alternative to Foxtel Now. It’s priced more competitively between $10 for standard definition and one device, $18 for high definition and two devices, or $22 for high definition and four devices. There’s also a 7-day free trial if you’re not entirely convinced.

Chances are, you’ve got a device in your house that allows you to rent or buy digital copies of movies. If you’ve got an iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromecast, Apple TV, or Xbox One, (or you’re lucky enough to have the Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X), Knives Out is a small rental fee away.

It's available to rent for $2.99 on Amazon, $5.99 to rent on iTunes, $5.95 on Fetch, and $6.99 to rent on Microsoft Store.
