Hope, the first film in a decade from The Wailing director Na Hong-jin, sends a small Korean town's police chief up against a rampaging creature. Critics call its daylight action scenes some of the best in years, though many feel the second half loses its way.
S.W.A.T. Exiles brings Shemar Moore back as Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson, leading a new team of young recruits on Starz after CBS cancelled the original series. Critics praise Moore but are split on whether the spin-off offers enough that is new.
Below is a six-episode Netflix thriller in which Josh Hartnett plays a Newfoundland fisherman who realises something is wrong in the water. Critics mostly enjoyed its setting, cast and slow-burn suspense, but many felt the second half does not pay off its mysteries.
Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot follows a hapless medical courier through one terrible night on the road to Raccoon City. Critics have embraced it as a fast, funny and very bloody survival-horror ride, with Austin Abrams in a star-making lead role.
Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning follows Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz as they expose what the company knew. Critics praise Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White but are split on whether the film says anything new.
Georgia Oakley's new Sense and Sensibility stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles as the Dashwood sisters, two very different young women looking for love with no money behind them. Most critics found it a faithful, swoony and melancholy adaptation, though some missed Austen's wit.
Season 2 of FX's The Lowdown sends Ethan Hawke's self-styled Tulsa 'truthstorian' Lee Raybon after a missing prisoner, while his con-man father, played by Tommy Lee Jones, turns up in town. Critics call it as warm, funny and offbeat as the first season, though a few found it slower and thinner.
Sylvester Stallone returns as mob boss Dwight Manfredi, who is trying to make his Oklahoma empire legitimate, in season 4 of Paramount+'s Tulsa King. Early reviews call it funny, entertaining and true to form, but say it repeats old problems and lacks fresh energy.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu's satirical comedy Digger, starring Tom Cruise, has split critics down the middle. Some admire its ambition and Cruise's committed performance, while others find the jokes flat and the style overdone.
Season 4 of Netflix's political thriller The Diplomat, starring Keri Russell, has opened to the best reviews of its run. Critics praise its twists, its sharp writing and Allison Janney's expanded role.
Mike Flanagan's eight-part Carrie, a new adaptation of Stephen King's first novel for Prime Video, has won mostly positive reviews. Critics praise its modern take and its young cast, while some find the finale overlong.
Whalefall, the survival thriller about a young diver swallowed by a whale, opened on 16 October 2026 to mostly positive reviews. Critics praise its bizarre premise and inventive set pieces, while some say the flashbacks drag.
