As the nights get longer, and spooky season arrives, it is the perfect time of the year to treat yourself to some horror films, plenty of which have been added to this month’s slate. But if scary movies aren’t to your interest, HBO Max still has you covered with a pair of laugh-out-loud comedies, a gripping thriller, and a superhero epic also joining the service’s library.

Doctor Sleep (2019)

Director: Mike Flanagan

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyleigh Curran, Cliff Curtis

Doctor Sleep, Stephen King’s long-gestating sequel to his classic story The Shining, was brought to the screen by the horror auteur Mike Flanagan with this entertaining and meditative epic that is worthy of both King’s original novel and Stanley Kubrick’s film masterpiece. Ewan McGregor steps into the role of Danny Torrance, who is now an adult traumatized by his experience at the Overlook Hotel. Danny is burdened with the task of protecting a young girl, who shares his abilities to “shine,” from a murderous cult who feed on people with this power in order to remain immortal. McGregor is excellent, as usual, in the leading role while Rebecca Ferguson creates a villain for the ages as the sinister cult leader Rose the Hat.

The Witch (2015)

Director: Robert Eggers

Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Julian Richings, Kate Dickie

Robert Eggers announced himself as a filmmaker to pay close attention to with his creepy folk horror feature debut. Set in 1630s New England, a family begins to turn on each other as they are being terrorized by a witch’s black magic. Anya Taylor Joy broke out with an excellent performance that revealed a star in the making. A bewitching little horror film that is perfect for the Halloween season and is sure to get under your skin.

Beetlejuice (1988)

Director: Tim Burton

Cast: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones

Tim Burton’s vivid imagination is on full display with this supernatural comedy classic. The film follows the spirits of a recently deceased couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who are haunting the house they once live in. When a new family (Catherine O’Hara, Jefferey Jones and Winona Ryder) moves in, the couple attempts to scare them away. After some unsuccessful attempts, they seek help from a professional bio-exorcist from the crude and vile Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) and that is when things get interesting. Burton was at the height of his creative powers with this inventive and stylish film, while Keaton is unforgettable in the title role.

Nightcrawler (2014)

Director: Dan Gilroy

Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, Riz Ahmed

Jake Gyllenhaal gives a career-best performance as Lou Bloom, an opportunistic freelancer who scours the streets of Los Angeles in search of valuable footage of traffic accidents, fires, and crime scenes. The supporting cast manages to keep up with Gyllenhaal’s manic charisma, with Renee Russo co-starring as the morning news director who hires Lou and soon falls into his sociopathic web, while Riz Ahmed is also excellent as Lou’s young assistant. Dan Gilroy’s script and direction are of the highest order, with his plot moving at a breakneck pace and the cinematography of the night streets of LA looking equally haunting and intoxicating. An excellent thriller about our media culture and need-depraved voyeurism.
