Halloween ends, Netflix’s new horror comedy and every new movie to watch

Ghost season is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean your only movie night options are scary. Nothing but most theirs. The good news is that they look pretty good! Halloween ends is a particularly awesome seasonal treat, a marquee horror release that streams on Peacock and hits theaters the same weekend—everyone is invited to the Michael Myers party.

The better news is that the few non-haunted options aren’t bad either. Action fans have a new Scott Adkins joint to devour Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday. And Rosalinethe ironic retelling of Romeo and Juliet from the perspective of Julia’s best friend, it’s wonderful counterprogramming to… everything else.

Marlon Wayans (White girls) and Priah Ferguson (Weird stuff) star in the Netflix family horror comedy The Curse of Bridge Hollow as a father and daughter who move into a haunted house and accidentally unleash a vengeful ghost that brings the Halloween decorations of their new hometown to life.

You might be tempted to dismiss this film based on its very silly title and grim premise: An escort who was blinded by a serial killer who was trying to kill her encounters a young boy who helps her. There’s one big reason why you shouldn’t write this off, though: it’s the first movie in 10 years from legendary Suspiria director Dario Argento.

Romeo and Juliet irreverently retold from the perspective of Julia’s best friend. Seems like the perfect movie for those who miss Apple TVs Dickinson. To remind Dickinson? That was amazing.

This DTV martial arts movie is a sequel to 2018 accident man. The films are a passion project for lead actor Scott Adkins, who read the comics when he was growing up. As a big Adkins fan who didn’t like the first one accident mantake it from me [ed. note: Pete Volk]: This movie rules. The action sequences are accurate, and unlike the first, the humor of the movie really landed for me this time. Add to that the fact that the film was shot on location in Malta, and it blows bigger budget action movies out of the water.
