What do you envision yourself doing on Halloween night? If you're still unsure, the upcoming weekend might be the perfect time to catch up on new movies in theaters. We have compiled a list of the must-see films below in time for Halloween.
"Nightcrawler"
The Tampa Tribune describes this Jake Gyllenhaal starrer as "utterly fascinating." Gyllenhaal stars as Louis Bloom, a socially awkward freelance videographer who delved into the profession after he learned that local televisions pay good money for videos containing grisly violence and bloody crime scenes.
Armed with a police scanner, a cheap video camera, and his high ambitions, Bloom ventures and thrives into the nighttime streets to capture ruthless images and earn money, reported NY Times.

"Horns"
Based on Joe Hill's supernatural thriller novel of the same title, "Horns" tells the story of Ig Perrish (played by Daniel Radcliffe), who was suspected of killing his girlfriend Merrin, according to Rolling Stone. After a night of partying, Ig awakens in the morning with a pair of horns on his head. With it comes a superpower that he doesn't know if he wants or not -- the power to make people confess their sins, along with their deepest and darkest secrets.
"Before I Go to Sleep"
This psychological thriller, starring Nicole Kidman, is based on S. J. Watson's 2011 novel of the same name. It tells the story of a woman who wakes up every day, unable to remember anything that happened after her 20s, A.V. Club reported.
Each day, she wakes up to a house filled with yellow post-its and her husband explaining that an accident caused her brain damage. But things start to take a turn for the worst when terrifying truths emerge, leaving her to doubt the intentions of everyone around her.
