1. Rose of Nevada (MUBI)
While it’s a stretch to classify it as “horror,” Mark Jenkins’ hallucinatory drama has the tenor of a ghost story, though it’s not exactly that, either. After a long-lost boat mysteriously reappears in a depressed Irish fishing village, intact but abandoned, a three-man crew, including George Mackay and Callum Turner, take it back out to sea, only to return to a town much different than when they left. Shot on haunting 16mm, it’s the eeriest movie of the year, and one of the best. Read Time Out’s review.

2. The Death of Robin Hood (HBO Max)
A Robin Hood story without cartoon animals nor men in tights, Pig director Michael Sarnoski’s take on the folk legend is a brooding, ultraviolent affair. Hugh Jackman portrays the English outlaw in his twilight years, as he lives wracked with guilt over the many lives he’s taken in the name of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Jodie Comer is the prioress of a nunnery caring for him in his final days, and offering him a sliver of redemption. Read Time Out’s review.

3. Dracula (Prime)
How many Dracula adaptations do we need? At least Luc Besson’s take goes in a slightly different direction, interpreting Bram Stroker’s classic novel as a gothic romance. Caleb Landry Jones is the vampire, while Zoe Bleu, daughter of Rosanna Arquette, portrays his beloved that he spends centuries tracking down. With Besson’s visual flair and an evocative score from Danny Elfman, it’s a worthwhile adaptation, even if its necessity is questionable.
4. Night Nurse (AMC+)
Writer-director Georgia Bernstein makes an intriguing debut with this slinky, eccentric neo-noir. A young woman becomes embroiled in a criminal scheme orchestrated by the resident of the retirement community where she works. While the plot is threadbare, the film remains beguiling, and strangely erotic.
5. Love of Your Life (Prime)
At one point, a romantic drama starring one of the most ubiquitous actresses working would be a theatrical godsend for studios. Alas, this Margaret Qualley vehicle is destined to pop some streaming numbers, then disappear into the content ether. Qualley is a nurse whose life is upended at the end of her 20s during — and because of — the COVID pandemic, forcing her to pick up the pieces and figure out how to move on.

6. Tenzing (Apple TV)
In 1953, Edmund Hillary etched his name into the history books by becoming the first person on record to summit Mount Everest. But he didn’t do it alone, of course. Director Jennifer Peedom, whose made several docs about mountain climbers and other such adventure seekers, helmed this narrative feature focusing on Tenzing Norgay, the Himalayan sherpa who helped Hillary on his mission. Tom Hiddleston plays Hillary, Genden Phuntsok is Norgay and Willem Dafoe is expedition leader John Hunt.
7. Masterplan (Prime)
Is the “master plan” in question Stanley Tucci figuring out yet another way to get paid to spend time in Europe? In this crime comedy, he’s a retired thief who hatches a scheme to swipe the Mona Lisa from the Louvre and recruits two younger criminals (Victor Belmondo and Simona Tabasco) to help… who happen to be his estranged children. Seems passable.
