Some weeks the digital shelf gives you one new horror movie and a shrug. This is not one of those weeks. At least eight genre titles hit home viewing between Monday and Sunday and picking five was the hard part. One is a Blumhouse slasher running on premonitions. One drops a carload of recent graduates onto a road with no end. One rips an entire suburban street out of the world. One locks a home birth inside a blizzard. One hands a camera to the worst guy at your job.
Every title below is new to home viewing this week. Nothing has been sitting on a service since August and nothing is an older film getting a fresh push. Theatrical-only releases are out because you cannot watch them from the couch tonight.
The Last Kiss
Where to watch: Digital rental and purchase on Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango, YouTube and other platforms Available: Tuesday, September 15
Mckenna Grace plays Laurel, a teenager who finds out that kissing someone shows her how that person dies. Then she sees her crush die in a killing spree aimed at her friend group and the visions turn into a countdown. Yoko Okumura directs and co-wrote with The Zivs. This is her second Blumhouse film after Unseen and it lands under the Blumhouse Atomic Monster banner with Jason Blum and James DeMonaco producing. The hook does real work because the curse is also Laurel’s only investigative tool. Every lead costs her a kiss. There is no theatrical run on this one. It goes straight to digital through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment with no subscription required.
It Ends
Where to watch: VOD and Digital HD Available: Tuesday, September 15
A group of recent graduates goes on a late night food run before everybody scatters for good. They take a wrong turn onto a two lane road that does not end, and what is waiting out there is less a monster than a set of forces nobody in the car can name. Alex Ullom writes and directs his first feature and Neon is releasing it. Akira Jackson, Phinehas Yoon, Mitchell Cole and Noah Toth make up the cast. This is the cosmic horror entry and the most stripped down premise on the list. It opened theatrically on August 21 so Tuesday is the first night you can put it on at home.
The End of Oak Street
Where to watch: Digital purchase and rental Available: Tuesday, September 15
A cosmic event tears Oak Street out of suburbia and drops the whole neighborhood somewhere else entirely. The Platt family has to work out how to survive surroundings that no longer make sense. David Robert Mitchell writes and directs, which is the detail horror readers will care about most, because he made It Follows. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star alongside Maisy Stella and Christian Convery. This is the horror-adjacent pick of the week rather than straight horror. It is a studio sci-fi thriller with dread in the engine, and at this budget with this cast it is the biggest title arriving at home in the batch. Physical release follows on November 3.
Goody Goody
Where to watch: Shudder Available: Friday, September 18
Expecting parents and their midwife settle in for a long home birth. A blizzard closes the house off. Things start going wrong in ways that have nothing to do with obstetrics. Raymond Creamer writes and directs and the cast includes Samantha Robinson, Zoe Renee, Colby Hollman and Colleen Foy. Early coverage has been reaching for Rosemary’s Baby and The Shining, which is a lot to hang on a first feature, so park the comparisons and look at the setup instead. One house. One night. A process nobody can pause and no way to get out to a hospital. This is the only subscription title on the list.
Who’s Watching
Where to watch: Digital, plus select theaters in New York and Los Angeles Available: Friday, September 18
Caleb is an aspiring filmmaker who fixates on his coworker Krista and starts documenting her life without asking. Tim Kasher writes and directs and Zachary Ray Sherman plays Caleb opposite Gracie Gillam, Olivia Luccardi and Steve Berg. Dark Sky Films is handling the release after a festival run that began at Beyond Fest in 2024. This is the found-footage entry and the one closest to ordinary life. The horror is not a mask or a creature. It is a man who has decided his own curiosity entitles him to somebody else’s private hours. Sherman’s performance is the thing critics keep coming back to.
So that is the week. A cursed kiss, an endless road, a street torn out of the map, a delivery room and a man with a camera. What are you putting on this weekend? Tell us in the comments, and if you clear all five before Sunday we want to hear how you paced it.
