3 Best Movies to Watch on Netflix This Week

In the week leading up to Halloween, Netflix offers three excellent movie options to stream. The first recommendation is "Bride of Chucky," a sequel to the beloved "Child's Play" franchise. Directed by Ronny Yu, "Bride of Chucky" features Jennifer Tilly as the iconic horror character Tiffany. With its playful and hyperstylized approach, the movie keeps fans of the series engaged until they meet Tiffany again.

Another standout film to watch is "Crimson Peak," a hauntingly beautiful ghost story directed by Guillermo del Toro. The movie follows Mia Wasikowska as Edith, an aspiring writer in the 19th century who falls for Tom Hiddleston's charming aristocrat, Sir Thomas Sharpe. However, the enchanting moment comes to an end when Lucille (Jessica Chastain) moves into their family estate, revealing ghostly horrors and twisted secrets.

Del Toro's mastery of practical effects and captivating cast make "Crimson Peak" a rewarding experience, even on a second viewing.

For those who prefer psychological thrillers, "Nightcrawler" is an undeniable must-watch. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the film portrays the rise of Lou Bloom, a ruthless and amoral crime journalist willing to sacrifice all ethical boundaries for ratings. Directed by Dan Gilroy and based on his own screenplay, "Nightcrawler" showcases Gyllenhaal's exceptional performance as a morally bankrupt character. The film offers a chilling exploration of American ambition and the world of true crime journalism.
