'Apartment 7A' (Sept. 27)
A minor character in the 1968 horror classic "Rosemary's Baby" gets the spotlight in this freaky prequel, with Julia Garner as a rising-star Broadway dancer whose career is derailed by a nasty injury.

'Rez Ball' (Sept. 27)
The drama, based on a true story, centers on the captain (Kauchani Bratt) and coach (Jessica Matten) of a Native American high school basketball squad who go on an unlikely run to the state hoops tournament after the tragic death of their star player.

'Will & Harper' (Sept. 27)
A film-festival favorite this year, the feel-good documentary focuses on Will Ferrell and his friend of 30 years, comedy writer Harper Steele.

Where to watch: Netflix.
'Wolfs' (Sept. 27)
Ever wonder if George Clooney and Brad Pitt were up for the same movie part? Well, their characters are hired for the same gig – in this case, rival lone-wolf fixers having to cover up a high-profile crime – in an action comedy written and directed by recent "Spider-Man" filmmaker Jon Watts.
Where to watch:Apple TV+.
'Hold Your Breath' (Oct. 3)
The psychological horror tale mines history for creepy thrills.

Where to watch: Hulu.
'House of Spoils' (Oct. 3)
Do you wish the "The Bear" was scarier? In this foodie-friendly horror flick, Ariana DeBose plays a star chef who opens a high-end restaurant on a remote estate, though she has to grapple with bigger problems than poor plating – like crippling self-doubt, kitchen mayhem and maybe even a haunting.
Where to watch: Prime Video.
'Salem’s Lot' (Oct. 3)
In the latest adaptation of the 1975 Stephen King book, Lewis Pullman plays an author needing creative inspiration who returns to the Maine home he left behind after a childhood tragedy. What he finds, though, is a place where residents are going missing and the secretive, new-to-town European vampire is probably to blame.
Where to watch: Max.
'It’s What’s Inside' (Oct. 4)
A group of college friends gets together for a reunion, one of them brings a suitcase containing a strange contraption, and by morning they’ll never see each other the same way ever again. That’s all you should know going into the scrappy, genre-mixing treat produced by Colman Domingo and featuring a host of fresh faces.
Where to watch:Netflix.
'Lonely Planet' (Oct. 11)
In the Netflix romance, Laura Dern plays an introverted, newly single novelist struggling to finish her latest book who travels to a prestigious Moroccan retreat. Rather than a plethora of ideas, she finds a younger man (Liam Hemsworth), the beau of a fellow attendee, to cozy up to for a life-altering affair.
Where to watch: Netflix.
'Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara' (Oct. 18)
Tegan and Sara were indie pop darlings in the 2000s who cultivated a safe space for the queer community online. Offstage, however, the identical twin Quin sisters met the downside of fame as well, and the documentary chronicles how personal files were stolen and Tegan Quin's identity was used in a nefarious catfishing scheme.
Where to watch: Hulu.
'Woman of the Hour' (Oct. 18)
Anna Kendrick marks her directorial debut with this true-life 1970s-set thriller. She also stars as an aspiring Hollywood actress whose path crosses with a serial killer in the middle of an epic murder spree when both happen to be contestants on the same episode of “The Dating Game.”

'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band' (Oct. 25)
Director Thom Zimny's fly-on-the-wall documentary follows Bruce Springsteen and his rock group on their current world tour, going back on the road for the first time in six years. The film digs into the methodology of "The Boss" and how he runs the band, from rehearsals to set-list creation.
Where to watch:Hulu.
'Freedom' (Nov. 1)
Lucas Bravo, a breakout star from Netflix's "Emily in Paris," plays a charming rogue in this thriller, based on the exploits of a legendary French outlaw in the 1970s and '80s.
