Dates refer to this week—Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12, 2025—and appear inside each entry. You’ll also see key creative credits and story details for quick context.

‘The Rule of Jenny Pen’ (2024)

James Ashcroft directs this New Zealand psychological horror, co-written with Eli Kent and adapted from Owen Marshall’s short story of the same name. The film centers on Judge Stefan Mortensen, who, after a stroke, enters a care home and clashes with resident Dave Crealy, whose sinister “Jenny Pen” puppet is part of a cruel game that terrorizes others. Geoffrey Rush portrays Mortensen, John Lithgow plays Crealy, and George Henare appears as Tony Garfield; the film premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2024. It is slated to arrive on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

Behind the camera, cinematography is by Matt Henley, with music by John Gibson and editing by Gretchen Peterson. The project was produced by Catherine Fitzgerald and Orlando Stewart for Light in the Dark Productions and Blueskin Films. Prior festival play included Sitges in October 2024, and the feature later saw distribution in multiple territories in early 2025 before this week’s U.S. streaming debut date.

‘Stay’ (2025)

Arriving Wednesday, October 8, 2025, ‘Stay’ is a supernatural thriller written and directed by Jas Summers. It follows Kiara, a PhD author specializing in African spirituality (Megalyn Echikunwoke), and her husband Miles, a former MMA fighter (Mo McRae), as they face the collapse of their marriage while confronting unnerving, possibly otherworldly forces inside their new home.

Summers wrote and directed the film; additional context around the production highlights Echikunwoke also serving as an executive producer, with producing credits that include Mo McRae and collaborators from their creative circle. Coverage ahead of release emphasized the film’s relationship-driven approach to horror and positioned it within Hulu’s Halloween programming slate for 2025.

‘Frankie Quiñones: Damn That’s Crazy’ (2025)

Comedian and actor Frankie Quiñones headlines his first hour-long stand-up special, directed by Ali Wong. The material digs into his Chicano upbringing, family dynamics, mental-health beats, and life stories, with the special set to launch on Friday, October 10, 2025. Quiñones is known for the viral “CholoFit” sketches and for playing Luis on ‘This Fool’, while Wong’s involvement marks a collaboration stretching back to their Bay Area stand-up roots.

The special continues a 2025 run of Hulu stand-up offerings and has been previewed across industry outlets ahead of premiere day, confirming Wong as director and the October 10 date. Listings of Hulu originals also catalogue it among this year’s comedy releases.

‘The Omen’ (2006)

John Moore’s 2006 remake of the 1976 classic resurfaces this week (arriving between October 6–12, 2025). The film stars Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles as adoptive parents of Damien, a boy whose ominous signs point toward apocalyptic prophecy, with Mia Farrow co-starring. David Seltzer—writer of the original film—penned the screenplay for this version as well.

Key crew include cinematographer Jonathan Sela, editor Dan Zimmerman, and composer Marco Beltrami. Produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox at the time, the film runs 110 minutes and sits within the long-running ‘The Omen’ franchise lineage.

‘Saint Clare’ (2024)

During the October 6–12, 2025 window, ‘Saint Clare’ lands as a recent indie thriller directed by Mitzi Peirone and co-written with Guinevere Turner, adapted from Don Roff’s novel ‘Clare at 16’. Bella Thorne plays Clare Bleecker, with Rebecca De Mornay, Ryan Phillippe, and Frank Whaley among the supporting cast. The film first screened at the Taormina Film Festival in 2024 before its U.S. release in mid-2025.

The feature runs about 93 minutes and frames Clare as a young woman who believes she’s on a mission that entangles faith, violence, and vigilantism, as she navigates predatory dangers in her community. Credits list Peirone as director with Turner as co-writer, reflecting a collaboration that has been noted across reviews and festival materials.

‘The Hills Have Eyes’ (2006)

Alexandre Aja’s English-language debut returns this week (arriving between October 6–12, 2025). The 2006 remake of Wes Craven’s 1977 shocker follows a stranded family hunted by cannibalistic mutants in the desert. The cast features Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Emilie de Ravin, Dan Byrd, Robert Joy, and Ted Levine.

Aja co-wrote the screenplay with Grégory Levasseur. The production involved Craven and Marianne Maddalena among the producers, with cinematography by Maxime Alexandre and a score by tomandandy. The film’s release and reception helped fuel a mid-2000s wave of horror remakes.

‘The Hills Have Eyes 2’ (2007)

Also arriving during the October 6–12, 2025 window, this sequel shifts to a group of New Mexico Army National Guard soldiers who stumble into the mutants’ territory—this time tied to a remote military installation. Martin Weisz directs, with a cast that includes Michael McMillian, Jacob Vargas, Flex Alexander, and Jessica Stroup.

The screenplay is by Wes Craven and Jonathan Craven, with Trevor Morris composing the score and Sam McCurdy handling cinematography. The film was produced under banners including Fox Atomic and Craven/Maddalena Films and runs 90 minutes.
