3 Overlooked Movies You Should Stream in November 2025
Streaming offers a chance for underrated films to find a new audience, especially those that were misunderstood by critics or underperformed at the box office. This November, we recommend three hidden gems available to stream now: an Andrew Garfield neo-noir, a graphic novel adaptation, and a supernatural horror about Satanic witches.
The Empty Man
Set in Missouri, former cop and widower James Lasombra (James Badge Dale) investigates the disappearance of his neighbor's teenage daughter, who leaves behind a chilling message written in blood:
“The Empty Man made me do it.”His search leads to a mysterious supernatural entity called "the Empty Man" and a cult dedicated to summoning him. As James digs deeper, he begins to question his own reality and beliefs.
Released by 20th Century around the time of the Fox-Disney merger, The Empty Man was abandoned by its studio during the COVID-19 pandemic and struggled during its theatrical run. However, it found a new life on streaming and home video, earning a modest cult following.
“The Empty Man was ultimately tossed off by its own studio and left to die in its theatrical release during the height of COVID-19.”
Author’s summary: These overlooked films prove that streaming platforms can revive unique stories that deserve wider recognition beyond their initial release setbacks.
