Insidious: Out of the Further
For supernatural scares, the roundup points to the sixth Insidious installment. It is one of three horror-oriented choices in the week’s lineup, and a natural fit for viewers looking for a Halloween-season watch. Its reported Prime Video access is buy or rent from October 6.
#1 Best Overall
- As he takes on the mantle of Captain America, Sam Wilson soon finds himself in the middle of an international incident. In a race against time, Sam must unravel a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red. Warning: Some flashing-lights scenes in this film may affect photosensitive viewers.
Fall 2: Deadpoint
This survival sequel trades supernatural horror for physical peril: its central hook is a dangerous plank walk at high altitude in Thailand. The roundup also places it among the Halloween-season options, though its premise is a survival thriller rather than a haunting. It is listed for Prime Video purchase or rental from October 6.
October 9: three different genres on three services
Animals on Netflix
Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington star in this crime thriller, built around a child’s kidnapping and the ransom that follows. Netflix is the service named in the roundup, with October 9 as the reported start date.

Matchbox: The Movie on Apple TV

Rank #3
- The Help (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray/DVD + Digital Copy)
October 10: a rural-Ireland haunting on Hulu

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Which one should you pick?
- For a superhero story: Spider-Man: Brand New Day centers on Peter Parker protecting New York after his identity is forgotten.
- For supernatural horror: choose between Insidious: Out of the Further and Hokum, both built around supernatural threats.
- For high-altitude tension: Fall 2: Deadpoint offers a survival premise rather than a haunting.
- For crime and conspiracy: Animals is the kidnapping-and-ransom thriller; Disclosure Day mixes science fiction with a government-secret pursuit; Matchbox: The Movie takes an action-comedy route.
These are premise-based distinctions, not a quality ranking. Tom’s Guide’s recommendations and comparative judgments are editorial opinion; the roundup does not establish an objective ranking across the seven films. It also does not provide consistent runtime or content-rating information for a reliable comparison on those points.
Quick Recap
Rank #4
- Side-splitting laughs abound when the selfish Emperor Kuzco is turned into a llama by his devious advisor and her hunky henchman. Now the ruler who once had it all must form an unlikely alliance with a peasant to regain his throne.
