Streaming platforms often revive films that were ignored or misunderstood upon release. They offer these hidden gems a chance to connect with new audiences who might finally appreciate them. This November, Watch With Us spotlights three underrated titles worth your time.
Set in Missouri, the story follows former cop and widower James Lasombra, played by James Badge Dale. After his neighbor’s daughter disappears, James discovers a chilling message written in blood:
“The Empty Man made me do it.”
His investigation leads him to a supernatural entity known as the Empty Man and a devoted cult that seeks to summon him. As the mystery deepens, James begins to question his perception of reality. Originally released by 20th Century during the Fox-Disney merger, the film was overlooked in theaters amid the pandemic but later found a loyal following through streaming and home video.
This surreal neo-noir, starring Andrew Garfield, tracks a disenchanted man searching for a missing woman in Los Angeles. His journey uncovers riddles, conspiracies, and coded symbols hidden in pop culture. Though critics were divided on its eccentric tone, it later gained recognition for its ambition and originality.
Rob Zombie’s horror feature blends gothic imagery with psychological dread. It tells the story of a DJ in Salem who unwittingly unleashes an ancient curse linking her town’s dark past with Satan-worshipping witches. Initially dismissed for its slow pacing, it now stands as one of the director’s most atmospheric works.
Three overlooked films — each uniquely strange and atmospheric — rediscover their audience this November thanks to the freedom and reach of streaming platforms.
