Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Hulu | October 12-18, 2025

So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Hulu, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for October 12–18, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

Twilight (2008)

The one that started the vampire craze and teenage chaos.

Before The Hunger Games or Fifty Shades, there was Twilight—the moody, blue-tinted fever dream that launched a million Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debates. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson became overnight icons with this supernatural teen romance about forbidden love and eternal angst. It’s cheesy, it’s dramatic, it’s wildly nostalgic—and honestly, it’s still kind of addictive. The soundtrack alone? Untouchable. (Muse, Paramore, Iron & Wine—peak 2000s vibes.)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

Heartbreak, werewolves, and emotional damage.

New Moon leans into the pain. Edward leaves, Bella spirals, and suddenly Taylor Lautner’s abs are front and center. It’s the franchise’s most melodramatic—and somehow most fascinating—chapter, set to a killer indie-rock soundtrack that could singlehandedly bring back Tumblr culture. There’s Italian vampire royalty, shirtless transformations, and more longing stares than a whole season of The Bachelor. It’s gloriously over-the-top in the best way.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

The love triangle peaks—and so does the chaos.

Eclipse gives us exactly what we wanted: more action, more vampires, and more Jacob vs. Edward tension than anyone asked for. Bella’s torn between two supernatural boyfriends while a vampire army threatens her town. It’s part romance, part monster movie, and all drama. It’s also the best-paced of the series—darker, funnier, and surprisingly slick. It’s the one you rewatch and realize, “Oh yeah, this was actually kind of good.”

Werewolves (2024)

Pure adrenaline, zero downtime.

Frank Grillo leads this post-apocalyptic creature feature where a supermoon turns nearly a billion people into werewolves. Think World War Z meets The Purge, but hairier and with way more howling. The film doesn’t waste time—it’s fast, brutal, and packed with gnarly practical effects. It’s exactly what late-night horror-watch energy should feel like: messy, loud, and weirdly fun. Perfect for when you want your action bloody and your plot simple.

Scream (1996)

The ultimate horror classic that reinvented slashers forever.

Wes Craven’s Scream isn’t just a scary movie—it’s the scary movie that changed the game. Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott is the final girl blueprint, and Ghostface’s blend of humor and horror still hits nearly 30 years later. The self-aware script, the iconic Drew Barrymore cold open, the ’90s cast of legends—it’s cinematic comfort food for horror fans. Every horror film since owes Scream a thank-you note.

Ghostbusters (2016)

Who you gonna call? The funniest ghost hunters in town.

This reboot didn’t deserve the online hate it got. Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones bring chaotic brilliance to Ghostbusters 2.0. It’s goofy, big-hearted, and packed with visual effects that actually hold up. Chris Hemsworth as the world’s dumbest receptionist? Comedy gold. It’s not trying to be the original—it’s just having fun with it, and that’s what makes it work. Perfect background watch for when you want a laugh with your ghosts.

2012 (2009)

The world ends, and somehow John Cusack drives through it.

Roland Emmerich never met a global disaster he didn’t want to blow up on screen, and 2012 might be his magnum opus. We’re talking earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions—the full doomsday buffet. John Cusack’s everyman hero and Chiwetel Ejiofor’s scientist hold it all together while the planet literally collapses. It’s ridiculous. It’s overlong. It’s spectacular. Grab snacks and enjoy the cinematic destruction.

The Man in My Basement (2025)

A slow-burn thriller that crawls under your skin.

This one’s fresh off its festival run and is pure psychological dread. Corey Hawkins stars as a desperate man who rents his basement to a polite, unnervingly intense stranger played by Willem Dafoe. What starts as a simple arrangement turns into something much darker and more disturbing. It’s haunting, smart, and deeply unsettling—the kind of movie you’ll think about for days. File under: “I can’t explain it, but I feel weird now.”

Halloween (2018)

Laurie Strode. Michael Myers. Forty years later.

This sequel wipes the slate clean and goes back to basics—just pure, white-mask terror. Jamie Lee Curtis is phenomenal as an older, tougher Laurie preparing for her final face-off with the man who ruined her life. It’s sharp, brutal, and surprisingly emotional. The kills are vicious, the pacing is tight, and the score (by John Carpenter himself) slaps. You don’t even need to be a Halloween fan to get sucked in.

Blade (1998)

The original superhero badass.

Before the MCU ever existed, Wesley Snipes was slicing vampires in leather coats and sunglasses. Blade is half martial arts movie, half gothic bloodbath, and all attitude. The opening nightclub scene alone is legendary. It’s stylish, violent, and cooler than it has any right to be. Snipes oozes charisma, the soundtrack is pure late-’90s techno perfection, and the action still goes hard. Without Blade, there’s no Marvel as we know it. Period.

And That’s a Wrap

From vampire love triangles and blood-soaked werewolves to classic slashers and ghost-fighting comedies, Hulu’s got range this week. Want romance? Twilight has you covered. Need scares? Halloween and Scream are waiting. Feeling nostalgic for a simpler time when vampires sparkled and the world exploded every other scene? You’re in luck. Grab a blanket, dim the lights, and settle in—this week’s lineup is all killer, no filler.
