FULL STORY ====================================================================== The season for cozy movie nights is creeping closer, which means there's no better time to find plenty of great films on the best free streaming services .. Several of this weeks free streaming picks feel especially timely as we edge toward spooky season. Sure, Halloween is still over a month away. But lets be honest, now that summers wrapped what else are we counting down to? Its the perfect time to start adding unsettling fairy tales, eerie cult classics and even some witchy vibes to your watchlist. Below, youll find five of the best free movies to stream on Tubi, Samsung TV Plus, Pluto TV, and more this week. From dark fantasies and family-friendly action to sexy spell craft and psychological horror. 1) Pans Labyrinth (Tubi) Release date: 2006 Rotten Tomatoes score: 95% Length: 120 minutes Director: Guillermo del Toro Main cast: Sergi Lpez, Maribel Verd, Ivana Baquero, Doug Jones, Ariadna Gil, lex Angulo This haunting fairy tale from director Guillermo del Toro is still one of the most beautiful and brutal movies of the 21st century. Set in Spain, Pans Labyrinth follows Ofelia, a young girl who escapes into a world of fauns, monsters and labyrinths while her stepfather commits atrocities above the ground. Its a dark fantasy and a devastating war drama somehow rolled masterfully into one. It's the kind of film that proves fairy tales were never meant to be safe bedtime stories. 2) The Road (Fawesome, Hoopla, Kanopy, Plex, Roku) Release date: 2009 Rotten Tomatoes score: 74% Length: 110 minutes Director: John Hillcoat Main cast: Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, Charlize Theron, Molly Parker, Garret Dillahunt Based on author Cormac McCarthys Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Road is incredibly bleak (youve been warned) but also incredibly mesmerizing too. Viggo Mortensen stars in the leading role here as a father traveling with his son through an ash-covered America after the collapse of civilization. There are flashes of violence but the film is also a poignant look at how we might carry hope when the world offers very little of it. Do only watch it when youre feeling particularly resilient though. 3) The Love Witch (Fandango at Home, Kanopy, Plex, Pluto TV) Release date: 2016 Rotten Tomatoes score: 95% Length: 120 minutes Director: Anna Biller Main cast: Samantha Robinson, Gian Keys, Laura Waddell, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, Jared Sanford, Robert Seeley, Jennifer Ingrum Anna Billers retro movie The Love Witch is unlike anything else youll find streaming and its a perfect watch in the lead up to spooky season. Shot to look like its from the 1960s, the movie tells the story of a modern witch (played by Samantha Robinson) who uses potions and spells in her quest for love. But often with unexpected and deadly results. Its quite camp, weird and leans into satire, but its a film that will make you laugh, cringe and convince you that youve stumbled across a lost classic. 4) Rosemarys Baby (Hoopla, Kanopy, Pluto TV) Release date: 1968 Rotten Tomatoes score: 97% Length: 137 minutes Director: Roman Polanski Main cast: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans, Ralph Bellamy Rosemarys Baby is one of the best psychological horror movies of all time. Mia Farrow plays Rosemary, a young wife who becomes increasingly paranoid that her husband and neighbors have sinister plans for her unborn child. Its stylish, unsettling and highly influential. And even though it's nearly 60 years since it was first released, nothing can dull the sheer dread of its final act. If youve somehow missed it, nows the time to fix that. If youve already seen it, get it on your must-watch list in the run-up to Halloween. 5) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Samsung TV Plus) Release date: 2014 Rotten Tomatoes score: 91% Length: 130 minutes Director: Matt Reeves Main cast: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee The sequel to 2011s Rise of the Planet of the Apes takes the franchise to another level. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is set in a post-pandemic San Francisco, it pits a fragile community of humans against Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) and his growing ape followers. The motion capture performances here are really jaw-dropping, there are some fantastic action scenes and Reeves manages to make a blockbuster about talking apes feel genuinely profound.
