Halloween is nearly here, and that fact is reflected in our list of the best movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and other services this week. Yes, it’s loaded with horror flicks right now as all the major streamers lean into the spooky season, but there are some good options for non-horror fans, too. This week, four new films join the list, and only two of them fit the “thriller” bill.
In the countdown to Halloween, check out M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap, the Dakota Johnson/Sean Penn drama Daddio, Kate Beckinsale’s action flick Canary Black, and more.
We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
