If you're trying to keep up with Nicole Kidman and her never-ending projects, you're basically signing up for a second full-time job. There has arguably never been anybody as booked and busy as she is — and this means that incredible projects can be thrown by the wayside.

For every TV show and movie like Babygirl, Nine Perfect Strangers, The Perfect Couple, and most recently, Prime Video's Scarpetta, there's one that has been completely overlooked. Even as I'm writing this, press is coming out for a new Apple TV series, Margo's Got Money Troubles... something I'd forgotten she was even involved in.

One of the biggest victims of Kidman's insatiable work ethic is Amazon horror movie Holland, directed by Fresh creator Mimi Cave. When it was first released in March 2025, I couldn't understand why more people weren't talking about it.

But where Prime Video failed, HBO Max is succeeding a year later. If you're a stats nerd like me, you might have noticed that Holland has been in the streamer's top 10 most-watched movies for the past few weeks... which means it's finally getting the attention it deserves.

Holland on HBO Max is 'wildly unpredictable' — and unlike any horror movie you've streamed this year

Watch On

Kidman stars as meticulous Nancy Vandergroot, a teacher and homemaker whose picture-perfect life — with her community pillar husband (Matthew Macfadyen) and son (Jude Hill) — in tulip-filled Holland, Michigan, tumbles into a twisted tale.

If that wasn't creepy enough, Nancy and her friendly colleague (Gael García Bernal) become suspicious of a secret, only to discover nothing in their lives is what it seems.

Holland is a little like The Stepford Wives meets the It's A Small World ride at Disney's Magic Kingdom, only with a lot more blood. If you're a Kidman superfan (aren't we all?), think her own Stepford wife era mixed with To Die For.
