Here’s what is on offer on the Virgin Media Store in October.
Deadpool & Wolverine
Available to buy now. Cert 15
The merc with a mouth (Ryan Reynolds) teams up with the legendary Wolverine (Hugh Jackson) in this action-packed, gag-fuelled Marvel Studios hit. Deadpool’s peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority’s Mr Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) recruits him to save the multiverse. No spoilers here, but there are huge revelations, jaw-dropping moments and… nope, you’ll have to watch it.
Borderlands
Premium release. Available to buy or rent now. Cert 12
Based on the iconic looter-shooter video game that defined the whole genre, Borderlands brings together Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt and Jamie Lee Curtis to form a ragtag team of misfits tasked with finding the missing daughter of the most powerful man in the universe. With big action scenes and plenty of moments fans of the game will love, it’s well worth a visit to the planet of Pandora.
Trap
Premium release. Available to buy or rent now. Cert 15
M Night Shyamalan always gives us films that keep our heart rate high until the final credits. Trap delivers that in spades, as a father and teen daughter attend a pop concert where they realise they’re at the centre of a dark and sinister event. Put it this way: this would be one gig you’d probably be happy to miss through dynamic pricing. Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Shyamalan and Allison Pill star in this psychological thriller.
Blink Twice
Premium release. Available to buy or rent now. Cert 15
Zoë Kravitz’s feature directorial debut is a compelling thriller. When tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. But that dream soon turns into a nightmare because, as it turns out, eccentric tech billionaires who own islands don’t make great vay-cay companions…
Twisters
Premium release. Available to buy or rent now. Cert 12
Epic studio disaster movies were to the 90s what superhero movies have been to this generation of cinemagoers. Now Twisters is bringing back the kind of adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, thrill-ride film we’ve been missing. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell star as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes. To quote another 90s classic: “Hold on to your butts.”
A Quiet Place: Day One
Available to buy or rent now. Cert 15
After the apocalyptic horror movies A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place: Part II made the sound of silence terrifying, we’re travelling back to the start of the invasion by the blind extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing. Lupita Nyong’o stars as a young woman who finds herself trapped in New York City. If you’re worried about the cat in the trailer, don’t worry. He’s fine. As for everybody else…
I Saw The TV Glow
Available to buy now or rent from Monday 14 October. Cert 15
Critics raved about this psychological horror in which two misfits (Justice Smith, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Brigette Lundy-Paine, Atypical) find solace in a mysterious late-night TV show – a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. The visual style in this film elevates it above so many types of film in this genre, but it’s the movie’s story that feels so fresh. Smith and Lundy-Paine are utterly beguiling.
Longlegs
Premium release. Available to buy or rent now. Cert 15
In pursuit of a serial killer (Nicolas Cage), an FBI agent (Maika Monroe) is assigned to an unsolved case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Longlegs is a modern, claustrophobic and unnerving horror film with Nic Cage in full Nic Cage mode, delivering the kind of nightmarish and larger-than-life performance only he could accomplish.
