Platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, Hulu, and HBO Max are rolling out a range of new films that promise something for everyone — whether you crave eerie horror, high-octane action, or tear-jerking drama.
As autumn settles in and Halloween looms, it’s the perfect time to curl up and binge-watch. Below are ten new and notable films now available to stream, including fresh releases, long-awaited premieres, and theatrical hits making their digital debut.
1. Bring Her Back (HBO Max)
After their father’s death, a brother and sister find themselves living with a mysterious foster mother — portrayed hauntingly by Sally Hawkins — who uses dark rituals to heal emotional wounds. Directed by Australian filmmaking duo Danny and Michael Philippou, known for the hit Talk to Me, this film delves into grief, love, and the destructive power of obsession.
Expect goosebumps and heartbreak in equal measure, as the supernatural collides with human vulnerability.
2. How to Train Your Dragon (Live Action) (Peacock)
The beloved DreamWorks classic gets a visually rich and emotionally grounded live-action remake. Mason Thames stars as Hiccup, a young Viking who befriends a feared dragon named Toothless, while Nico Parker shines as Astrid. Director Dean DeBlois successfully transforms the animated wonder into a sweeping, cinematic fantasy that stands on its own. The dragons feel more real, the world feels more alive, and the bond between boy and beast remains as touching as ever.
A remake that truly soars, proving that some legends deserve a second flight.
3. John Candy: I Like Me (Prime Video)
Produced by Ryan Reynolds and directed by Colin Hanks, this heartfelt documentary pays tribute to one of comedy’s most beloved figures — John Candy. Through intimate interviews with his family and A-list friends, it explores the man behind the laughter, his personal struggles, and his enormous heart. Archival footage and behind-the-scenes moments bring depth to a life that was as complex as it was inspiring.
“He made people laugh because he understood pain,” says one interviewee — and that perfectly captures Candy’s enduring magic.
4. The Lost Bus (Apple TV+)
A gripping survival drama based on true events, The Lost Bus stars Matthew McConaughey as a bus driver who must navigate through the deadly California Camp Fire, trying to save a group of children trapped in the inferno. With America Ferrera as a determined teacher by his side, the film is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and a powerful story of courage.
A gut-wrenching portrayal of humanity at its strongest when nature is at its worst.
5. Maintenance Required (Prime Video)
This charming romantic comedy brings a fresh twist to You’ve Got Mail — but with wrenches and grease instead of books and emails. Madelaine Petsch plays Charlie, the owner of an all-female auto shop who unknowingly falls for her rival — Jacob Scipio — through an online Bronco forum. With clever writing and sparkling chemistry, the film celebrates female empowerment and love found in the most unexpected places.
A feel-good, feminist rom-com that proves love can bloom even in the grease and grime of the garage.
6. Play Dirty (Prime Video)
Based on Richard Stark’s Parker novels, this stylish crime caper from Shane Black (of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang fame) stars Mark Wahlberg as a master thief out for revenge after being betrayed by a former partner, played by Rosa Salazar. The film’s mix of sharp humor, snappy dialogue, and explosive action gives old-school heist energy with a modern twist.
It’s crime, chaos, and charisma — the Shane Black trifecta.
7. The Substance (HBO Max)
One of last year’s most talked-about films finally hits streaming. This psychological horror-thriller stars Demi Moore as an aging celebrity who takes an experimental drug that allows her to share time with her younger self — played by Margaret Qualley. But the transformation turns toxic, literally and metaphorically. A blend of Black Swan and Frankenstein, the film explores vanity, identity, and the monstrous side of reinvention.
The Substance isn’t just body horror — it’s a brutal mirror held up to our obsession with youth and perfection.
8. Vicious (Paramount+)
Dakota Fanning leads this disturbing psychological horror about a woman who receives a mysterious box and an ominous message: she will die unless she fills it with something she needs, something she hates, and something she loves. What follows is a nightmare that forces her to confront her darkest secrets. With atmospheric direction and a chilling score, Vicious redefines what it means to face your inner demons.
A terrifying metaphor for guilt, loss, and the things we bury deep inside.
9. Werewolves (Hulu)
If you like your horror with a shot of sci-fi, Werewolves delivers. Frank Grillo and Katrina Law play scientists racing against time to stop a global outbreak caused by a “supermoon” that transforms people into beasts. With adrenaline-pumping action, gruesome effects, and clever social commentary about pandemics and human nature, this is a werewolf movie with teeth — and brains.
A howling good time for anyone craving monster mayhem with meaning.
10. The Woman in Cabin 10 (Peacock)
Based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling thriller, The Woman in Cabin 10 stars Keira Knightley as Lo, a journalist who witnesses a woman being thrown overboard during a luxury yacht cruise — but no one believes her. As she investigates, paranoia sets in, and the line between truth and illusion blurs. With stunning ocean cinematography and gripping tension, this adaptation captures both the glamour and terror of isolation.
A sleek, suspenseful mystery that keeps you guessing till the final wave.
