Want to go back further? See Netflix’s 30 additions last week here or view an expanded version of this list via our new releases on Netflix hub.

Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery
Director: Mike Flanagan
Cast: Elizabeth Reaser, Lulu Wilson, Annalise Basso
Writer: Mike Flanagan, Jeff Howard, Juliet Snowden
Runtime: 99 min

Headlining our top movie picks for the week this week is a Mike Flanagan classic (the director behind The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass) that gives a new lease of life to the franchise following the poorly received 2014 movie.

This entry is set in the last 1960s in Los Angeles where a widowed mother and her daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business by inviting an evil presence into their home. Of course, that goes about as well as expected.

The Hollywood Reporter generally praised the movie upon release saying it does a lot to succeed where the previous movie didn’t but added that the final section falters.

Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy
Cast: Kelly Overton, Jonathan Scarfe, Aleks Paunovic
Runtime: 43 min

In recent weeks we’ve seen a couple of NBCUniversal shows drop their final seasons onto Netflix and now it’s the turn of Van Helsing, the Syfy series that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for what it set out to achieve.

Now that all five seasons are on Netflix, it makes it a perfect binge-watch for anyone wanting to watch a show with a start, middle, and end.
