What’s New to Stream on Hulu for October 2018

Hulu has been stuck in the third place position when it comes to movie streaming behind Netflix and Amazon Prime because most people still see them strictly as a home for next-day television. They have movies too, though, and more than a few of them are terrific gems that make Hulu a destination beyond last night’s TV shows.

The complete list of new movies hitting Hulu this month — October 2018 — is below, but I wanted to highlight the best of the bunch along with several others worth seeking out.

Hulu Pick of the Month

The writer/director of 2015’s terrifying Backcountry heads into the woods again for more horror, but this time the threats have supernatural origins. Pyewacket (2018) is a beautifully-paced slow-burn that explores the necessity and power of belief as well as the dangers. As with the recent The Devil’s Candy and IT, Adam MacDonald’s film makes a point of ensuring we care about the lead which in turn adds an intensity to the scenes ramping up the terror to fist-clenching degrees.


Spooky New Series!

Blumhouse has carved out their own niche in film production with tight genre concepts and even tighter budgets, and now they’re coming to streaming TV with a monthly series. Into The Dark: The Body (Hulu Original) is the first feature-length entry in a horror series focused on a holiday each month. Story and tone will presumably change from film to film, but this month’s is a black comedy about a hitman trying to transport a body on Halloween night. It’s bloody and goofy and well worth a watch for fans of playful thrillers. Light As a Feather: Season 1 (Hulu Original, 10/12) takes a more episodic approach, and it also aims its spooky chills towards the young crowd.


Stephen King!

Imagine you’re a new programmer for Hulu, and you’re given one job — find some Stephen King movies to add for the month of October. Now imagine that you choose just one title and that Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992) is that single movie.


Prepare to Be REC’d!

Found footage is a mixed-bag technique if ever there was one, but great ones exist. This Spanish franchise starts with a double-barreled blast as [REC] (2009) and [REC] 2 (2010) deliver ridiculously intense and well-crafted scares while unspooling a creepy as hell story. [REC] 3 (2012) quickly drops the found footage angle and ups the humor, and while it pales beside its predecessors there’s fun to be had. The less said about [REC] 4 (2015) the better, but completists may want to give it a go.
