Tubi Just Unlocked 10 Extremely Gnarly Movies

Overview

The video is a fast-paced roundup of 10 “gnarly,” extreme movies recently added to Tubi. The host promises depraved plots, raunchy moments, and unhinged action—while repeatedly stressing these picks are not for everyone.

The list starts with some mainstream franchises that are also on Tubi (Mission: Impossible, Rush Hour, Friday, Lethal Weapon) and then pivots into the host’s more extreme, personal favorites.

Standout picks & what happens in them

1. #10 Surviving the Game (a more broadly appealing pick) The host calls it the “tame” entry. Ice-T plays a hired thug who thinks he’s helping with a hunting job—only to discover he’s actually the target. A highlight is that the film still holds up despite being dated, with Rutger Hauer among the hunters.

2. God Is a Bullet (dark, repulsive, and intentionally weird) Described as one of the darkest and most extreme on the list. Maika Monroe stars as someone hunting child predators, alongside a detective (Nikola Coster-Waldau) searching for his lost daughter, who was abducted by a cult. The host says they liked it “up to a point,” but complains that some moments don’t make sense. Still, they praise its slick, darker fantasy-like vibe and Jamie Foxx’s involvement.

3. Vox Lux (an art-house endurance test) The host claims it was overlooked because it stars Natalie Portman and Jude Law, but they couldn’t get into the earlier director work and found it pretentious and slow. They argue Vox Lux is different: mostly dialogue-driven, concentrated into one day around a pop singer nearing the end of her rope. Its “meat” is the arthouse discussion plus a mysterious/bizarre mystery that pays off if you’re patient.

4. Napa Boys (absurdist comedy with “off-kilter” humor) A weird comedy from David Wain (creator of Wet Hot American Summer). The host says the plot matters less than the bizarre humor, including crass/raunchy bits. It’s framed like an absurd adventure set in Napa.

5. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Guy Ritchie-ish spy chaos, but “not his best”) The host calls attention to the book-long title, praising the film’s cool sequences and ensemble cast (Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Eiza González). However, they note it doesn’t fully feel like a classic Guy Ritchie film, comparing it more to The Man from U.N.C.L.E.-style vibes.

6. Paul (high-budget nerdy comedy road trip) Presented as an overlooked gem starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, with Seth Rogen voicing the alien. The host highlights their chemistry, the movie’s stoner/road-movie energy, and how it’s a big-budget comedy that still feels like pure fun.

7. Exam (a micro-budget thriller in one room) A tense, rules-based story where candidates take a high-stakes exam inside a concrete room. The iconic gimmick is emphasized: a blank sheet of paper and the need to figure out what the exam actually is. It’s not gory—just claustrophobic and clever, with a strong payoff.

8. Everly (Salma Hayek action-comedy-slasher energy in one building) A one-location siege action film with Kill Bill vibes. Hayek is trapped in a penthouse/brothel while everyone wants her, armed with everything from guns and grenades to samurai swords. The host calls it a fun wild ride, but notes it includes dark/heavy moments.

9. Red Rocket (raunchy, bleak comedy about a narcissist wrecking lives) From Sean Baker, starring Simon Rex as a washed-up adult film star who returns to Texas begging his wife to take him back. The host highlights the film’s Curb Your Enthusiasm–style “unscripted” feel, praising its real-person authenticity. The central comedic horror is that the protagonist is a total narcissist, acting like a tornado that destroys everyone around him—including himself.

10. #1 Green Room (the most intense “messed up” thriller) The peak pick is a high-tension film by Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin). Anton Yelchin leads a punk band performing at a remote venue that’s basically a neo-Nazi setup. After they witness something in the “green room,” they’re locked in while neo-Nazis circle the building and attempt to decide what to do with them. The host spotlights Patrick Stewart as chilling in a leadership role, calling it the most tense, well-directed, hard-edged entry, with a great payoff.
