What to know

  • Four major streaming platforms released new films for Halloween weekend Oct. 30–Nov. 1, with titles spanning multiple genres from post-apocalyptic drama to erotic thriller to animated adventure.
  • 'Verity,' based on Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel and starring Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway, arrived on streaming as a prominent erotic thriller release.
  • Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars,' featuring Jacob Elordi in a pandemic-devastated world, became available on VOD with cinematography by Erik Messerschmidt (known for David Fincher collaborations).
  • DreamWorks Animation's 'Forgotten Island' arrived on streaming, combining '90s nostalgia with Filipino mythology, while 'Minions & Monsters' launched on Peacock after a theatrical run.

“The way these pieces fall together is weird, clever, silly, and extremely colorful, built around surprisingly dynamic, seductive visuals.”
