All The New Movies Coming to Streaming This Week

Spooky season is now almost over, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a whole lot of great movies to check out. Whether you’re looking for horror, documentary, animation, or drama, our streaming roundup has it all and then some. We can’t say all of it is good, but there are still some real gems if you read through.

About My Father

Release Date: Wednesday, November 1 on Starz

The basics of About My Father, if the title didn’t already give it away, is that it is about the relationship between a dad and son. Working to its benefit is that the film has Robert De Niro as the titular father Salvo who tags along when his son Sebastian (Sebastian Maniscalco) is about to propose. It is one of those comedies where you know basically everything about it just from the trailer, but it may just be the film that you’re looking to see with your own family.

About My Father

When Sebastian tells his old-school Italian immigrant father Salvo that he is going to propose to his all-American girlfriend, Salvo insists on crashing a weekend with her tony parents.

Fingernails

Release Date: Friday, November 3 on Apple TV+

Though Fingernails is a film that might not be one of the biggest ones on people’s radars, it is still quite an interesting one worth checking out. Directed by Christos Nikou, who previously made the underseen film Apples, it follows two people as they begin to grow closer to each other in unexpected ways. Anna (Jessie Buckley) believes she is in a happy relationship as she passed a test that tells her it is true love. When she begins working for the company that runs the test with Amir (Riz Ahmed), who has relationship challenges of his own, their understandings of love and connection will be put to the test. The less that is known about what unfolds, the better, but suffice to say this lightly science fiction film manages to get at something all its own when you least expect it to.

Fingernails

Anna and Ryan have found true love, and it’s proven by a controversial new technology. There’s just one problem, as Anna still isn’t sure. Then she takes a position at a love testing institute and meets Amir.

A Haunting in Venice

Release Date: Tuesday, October 31 on Hulu

Depending on who you talk to, A Haunting in Venice is either the best of Kenneth Branagh’s mystery films thus far or just another forgettable attempt to retell a classic story. However, to start off our streaming list, it is certainly one of the bigger releases you’ll be able to see at home for those still curious about what he has in store this time around. Time will only tell if this includes another origin story for a character’s facial hair.

A Haunting in Venice

In post-World War II Venice, Poirot, now retired and living in his own exile, reluctantly attends a seance. But when one of the guests is murdered, it is up to the former detective to once again uncover the killer.

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor

Release Date: Monday, October 30 on Shudder

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is the horror offering this week that not only has the longest title of any on this list, but is also one of the most scrappy. This makes sense as it is the fourth entry in the little franchise that could, which you either know about or you don’t, and it takes us back to the remote Carmichael Manor where darkness is lurking around every corner. The biggest terror? Probably those creepy clowns.

Insidious: The Red Door

Release Date: Saturday, November 4 on Netflix

Patrick Wilson is back and not only is he acting in Insidious: The Red Door, but he’s also making his directorial debut as well! Is the film actually any good? Well, that very much depends on the eyes of the beholder as it manages to leave behind the baggage of the previous entries of the franchise while still creating some new hangups of its own. Still, if you’re looking for something to see Wilson really running the whole show, this is your best bet to do so.

Insidious: The Red Door

The Lamberts must go deeper into The Further than ever before to put their demons to rest once and for all.

The Kill Room

Release Date: Friday, November 3 on VOD

A lackluster dark comedy kept afloat by Uma Thurman, The Kill Room came and went from a limited theatrical release without much impact. However, if you’re looking for a so-so satire of the art world with a pretty solid cast, this may be just the doctor ordered.

The Kill Room

A hitman, his boss, an art dealer and a money-laundering scheme that accidentally turns the assassin into an overnight avant-garde sensation, one that forces her to play the art world against the underworld.

Magic Mike’s Last Dance

Release Date: Thursday, November 2 on Hulu

It’s not bro time, it’s showtime in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike’s Last Dance, which, while the worst of the trilogy that has reinvented itself with each new entry, still has something to offer despite its shortcomings. In the closing chapter of Magic Mike (Tatum) himself, we pick up with him after he has fallen on hard times. The furniture business he had dreamed of collapsed during the pandemic and he is now working in Miami as a bartender for a catering company. At a fundraiser, he catches the eye of Maxandra ‘Max’ Mendoza (Salma Hayek) who pays him for a lap dance that becomes something more. The next day, he turns down the money though she offers to fly him to London where he then begins a special dance production. They must navigate challenges, both in terms of the production and the personal, before putting on one final show. The film received mixed reviews, with many finding it clunky and a bit scattered, though if you missed it in theaters, there are certainly worse things to check out.

Magic Mike’s Last Dance

Mike takes to the stage again, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse.

Nyad

Release Date: Friday, November 3 on Netflix

A controversial film still worth diving deep into, Nyad is the type of crowd-pleasing film that also has a little bit more on its mind. Telling the story of the real swimmer of the same name and the immense swim she undertook from Cuba to Florida in 2013 at age 64, it is a work that is fundamentally about finding a new chance at something more even when the rest of the world may have given up on you.

Nyad

Nyad tells the remarkable true story of athlete Diana Nyad who, at the age of 60 and with the help of her best friend and coach, commits to achieving her life-long dream: a 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Release Date: Tuesday, October 31 on Netflix

The biggest release of the week is undoubtedly the vibrant animated experience that is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Not only is it one of the greatest superhero stories ever put to screen, it is the first film to do Spider-Man justice since Sam Raimi’s original take on the character. Sure, it is more than a little bit messy and is technically only half a film. However, it is also one of the more inventive and imaginative achievements of animation you’ll have the chance to see this year. Now if only the studio would treat the animators right as opposed to exploiting them. But hey, that is just something a friendly neighborhood hero would do.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Miles Morales catapults across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. When the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must redefine what it means to be a hero.

Wingwomen

Release Date: Wednesday, November 1 on Netflix

A movie about a group of thieves who decide to take on one last job? What could possibly go wrong with that? In Wingwomen, the answer is quite a lot. Not only is this in reference to the plot itself, but the way the film attempts to pull it off. Still, for those looking for more Adèle Exarchopoulos in your life after this year’s spectacular Passages, this isn’t nearly as good as that, but it is here for you to see.
