Starring Oscar-winning actress Jessica Chastain, the supernatural horror film is based on Josh Malerman's 2024 novel Incidents Around the House. It follows the story of an eight-year-old girl terrified by a shape-shifting entity that takes on the appearance of her mother. On streaming platform Netflix, Malaysian series Kudrat 1968: High Council concludes its four-episode run, holding the top position after the release of its final episode. Fans can look forward to further episodes on the big screen on October 29. Meanwhile, horror mystery The Hidden Hand (Dia Perempuan Sialan) remains at the top of Viu's rankings, while Disney+ has added new shows like Banana Bowl Championship Live and Between Steps: Season 1.",
