Streaming platforms give many overlooked films a second chance to be discovered. Some movies that didn't perform well in theaters or were misunderstood by critics find new audiences online. This November, we highlight three underrated films worth watching: an Andrew Garfield neo-noir, a graphic novel adaptation, and a supernatural horror about witches worshipping Satan.
Set in Missouri, this film follows James Lasombra (James Badge Dale), a former cop and widower who investigates his neighbor’s missing teenage daughter. She leaves behind a chilling message written in blood: "The Empty Man made me do it." The investigation draws James into a mysterious cult devoted to summoning a supernatural entity known as "the Empty Man."
Released by 20th Century near the Fox-Disney merger, The Empty Man was neglected by its studio and struggled in theaters during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it later found a modest cult following through streaming and home video.
As James delves deeper, his grip on reality begins to falter, making him question everything he believes is true.
These films, overlooked in their initial release, now thrive on streaming platforms, offering unique storytelling and fresh perspectives worth exploring this November.
Would you like me to format the other two movies mentioned or only focus on this one?
