Another week, another set of new movies for you to watch at home. Halloween is right around the corner, which means spooky season is technically coming to an end, but don’t let that stop you: You can watch great horror movies all year long.
There are multiple options on that front for you this week. The best of the bunch is the terrifying When Evil Lurks, which is now streaming on Shudder. If you’re more in the mood for a known entity, there are new franchise offerings to watch at home in The Exorcist: Believer, The Nun II, and Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Looking for something other than horror? Netflix has a new star-studded crime conspiracy move in Pain Hustlers, burgeoning stars Mackenyu and Kiersey Clemons have new movies out, Jackie Chan’s new action comedy is available to watch at home, and there’s a new David Lynch documentary to sink into, among other options.
Let’s get into it.

Repeat Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts director David Yates moves away from that franchise to this story about the opportunities and evils of American industry.
From our review:
They commit neither to a Scorsesean ride into the heart of darkness, nor to Erin Brockovich’s clear-sighted crusade. Blending those conflicting ideas turns this copycat into a movie with half the impact and a fraction of the moral weight of either of those movies. But still, Pain Hustlers is a fun watch that also elucidates one of the darkest spasms of modern American capitalism, and that’s something. It makes the sale.
