The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the movie that made a screening room full of critics whimper. 2005’s #TheDescent makes you wanna pull your legs up onto the seat lest something hideous reach out from underneath and grab your ankles. #Max US, #Prime UK

#DailyStream: discovering humanity in the face of aliens. It’s all sci-fi this week ahead of an announcement at Flick Filosopher. Amy Adams talks to ETs in 2016's #Arrival, a rarity for the genre: an SF film that can truly be called "beautiful." New on US #Netflix, but leaves UK Netflix Sept 30.

#DailyStream: drop out, tune in (the degree program). Like a forgotten late 70/early 80s relic, when even silly movies often came with a touch of social commentary, 2006’s college comedy #Accepted is a kick in the pants of conformity and consumerism. Leaves US #Netflix Nov 15; on #Prime UK.

#DailyStream: welcome to the new year’s revolution... Another circuit of planet Earth on apocalyptic train #Snowpiercer sees an uprising of the downtrodden. Will the new year bring renewal to an unjust society, or merely more of the same stagnation? #Hulu #Netflix US, #LionsgatePlus #Mubi UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: shorn of the dead. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp do sick, twisted, and droll adapting gory Stephen Sondheim in 2007’s #SweeneyTodd. It’s all operatic gruesomeness and cobblestones-and-fog moodiness. #ParamountPlus US, #Prime UK

#DailyStream: #Thanksgiving the Native American way. Awesome Amber Midthunder is a young 18th-century Comanche woman hunting down and killing a violent alien invader in her homeland. 2022’s #Prey, a sequel to 1987's Predator, is brisk efficient sci-fi fun. #Hulu US, #DisneyPlus UK

#DailyStream: a cozy mystery full of comedy, suspense, and feminism. 2018's #ASimpleFavor sends Anna Kendrick down all sorts of rabbit holes of female friendships, domestic discord, and maternal competition when she investigates the disappearance of friend Blake Lively. #Prime US, #LionsgatePlus UK

#DailyStream: is this the way the world ends? It’s all science fiction this week at Daily Stream, ahead of a Flick Filosopher announcement. Today: one of the great 21st-century sci-fi films: Alfonso Cuarón’s stupendous #ChildrenOfMen (2006). Leaves #BBCiPlayer very soon, on #Prime US.

#DailyStream: stirring some extra stress into the cranberry sauce. Schmaltz and sentiment are most definitely not on the menu in writer-director Peter Hedges’s bitter 2003 Thanksgiving family dramedy #PiecesOfApril, starring Katie Holmes and Patricia Clarkson. #Max US, #Prime UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror #CabinInTheWoods works on levels you didn’t even know existed. Deeply terrifying and uncomfortably funny, it updates for today ancient, atavistic terrors that have fueled scary stories forever. #Max US, #SkyCinema UK

#DailyStream: if you give a mouse a global entertainment empire... 95 years ago, pop-culture icon #MickeyMouse made his debut in short #SteamboatWillie, launching the Disney juggernaut. Big new impact may be coming: the cartoon enters the public domain in the US on Jan 1 2024. #DisneyPlus globally

#DailyStream: a taboo-smashing feminist horror black comedy about pregnancy. Writer-director-star Alice Lowe’s gloriously feminist, wonderfully demented 2017 film #Prevenge is as poignant as it is bitterly funny. On @Shudder in US, newly free in UK for @primevideouk members.

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: gnaw your own arm off, why don’t you? Like James Franco, basically, in 2010’s #127Hours. This is far more distressing to me than any science-fiction body-horror nightmare, because it actually happened. #Prime US, #DisneyPlus UK

#DailyStream: why does a movie about depressed writers feel festive? Set at a college bookfest in a Pittsburgh February, all the snow + the theme of finding your true family among likeminded weirdos seems to make 2000 dramedy #WonderBoys fit the season. #Paramount+ US (leaving soon), #BBCiPlayer UK

#DailyStream: condemned to repeat the past, etc... Dunno why 2017’s #DeathOfStalin is in my head these days. It’s a historical satire set 70 years ago, in a totally diff political environment — what resonance for today could it possibly have? 🙄 @hulu @Kanopy US @primevideouk UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the dread of a future you can’t see. The vibe in 2001’s daring, disturbing #DonnieDarko is one of despair, but its real horror is cultural conformity, and the hypocrisy and the cruelty that enforces it. #Kanopy US, #Shudder UK

#DailyStream: a perception-altering movie. Master-of-oddness Charlie Kaufman’s astonishing 2015 film #Anomalisa has been on my mind lately, maybe cuz I’m trying not to sleepwalk through life like its protagonist does. Time for a revisit. On #Kanopy US, #CurzonHomeCinema UK.
