As a long-time aficionado of both horror and food, I must say that the upcoming release of House of Spoils has my taste buds tingling with anticipation! Having spent countless hours watching cooking shows and horror flicks alike, I can’t help but feel that this unique blend of the two genres is a match made in heaven.
As a film enthusiast, I’m always eager to explore the chilling offerings that streaming platforms have during the spooky season. However, this October, it seems like Prime Video is keeping a low profile compared to others, particularly with movies. They are, however, offering two fresh original films this month. The horror genre gets a boost with the arrival of House of Spoils, which promises a terrifying experience for the month. Additionally, Max Barbakow’s latest comedy, Brothers, graces the platform, boasting an impressive cast. Lastly, the much-anticipated steamy drama starring Zendeya, Challengers, finally arrives on streaming. Other movies joining the lineup for this month include Knox Goes Away and the Prime Original movie, Canary Black.
Although it might seem limited, Prime Video offers three robust features that are sure to keep you entertained, no matter if you prefer romance, terror, or laughter. Let me introduce the three films recently added to Amazon’s streaming platform and some essential details to help you decide if they’re worth watching for yourself.
