Sky Cinema new releases: What’s on in October

Better Man - 1st October

No, that wasn’t some kind of fever dream you had - this movie really does exist. This is the one that’s a musical biopic of Robbie Williams, where he’s played by an anthropomorphic chimpanzee.

Sounds madder than a sack of ferrets, but apparently it’s pretty good!

The Crow (2024) - 1st October

Remake of the ‘90s goth classic - with none of the emo charm of the original. The story here is basically the same: a lowlife is gunned down, resurrected as the Crow and given a chance to exact his revenge from beyond the grave.

Stars Bill Skarsgård (It) and singer FKA twigs (Mother Mary).

One Last Shot - 2nd October

It’s the same old story - a Navy SEAL must travel into enemy territory to stop a former ally turned terrorist from enacting his nefarious plans. Stars b-movie action hero Scott Adkins (Undisputed) and action legend Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV).

Cold Storage - 3rd October

Horror comedy starring Joe Keery (Stranger Things) and Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) as a pair of slacker types working at a storage facility who accidentally unleash a devastating fungoid zombie plague.

With a lot of charm, gruesome effects and a fun role for Liam Neeson (The Naked Gun) as a grizzled bioterror operative, this is perfect Halloween viewing.

The Deb - 4th October

Musical comedy based on the stage show, directed by and starring Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect). A pair of cousins struggled to find dates for the Debutante Ball in small-town Australia.

Mother’s Pride - 9th October

British comedy drama. A family of brewers must come together to create an award-winning ale if they want to save their beloved pub. Stars Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) and James Buckley (The Inbetweeners).

Mexicali - 10th October

Another familiar action premise, in which a former professional fighter - who still takes part in underground fights to support his farm - is forced to, you guessed it, fight once more when he’s set upon by a local gang.

HitPig - 11th October

Animated movie about, believe it or not, a bounty hunter pig tasked with finding and returning a dancing elephant to Las Vegas. Stars Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Rainn Wilson (The Office).

Scream 7 - 16th October

The latest entry in the long-running slasher franchise returns five-time survivor Sydney Prescott (scream queen Neve Campbell) to the spotlight, as another mysterious masked killer stalks her family.

Also features, as potential victims/killers, Joel McHale (Community), Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect) and fellow series veterans Courtney Cox (Friends) and Matthew Lillard (Scooby Doo).

Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) - 17th October

Meta remake of the 1992 stage musical. In ‘80s Argentina, a trans woman is locked up with a political prisoner, and recounts to him the plot of her favourite movie - Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Stars Diego Luna (Andor) and Jennifer Lopez (Maid in Manhattan).

Racewalkers - 18th October

Sports comedy about a man with dwarfism who teams up with a washed-up baseball coach to train in the sport of race walking.

How to Make a Killing - 23rd October

Midwinter Break - 24th October

Drama about a couple whose trip to Amsterdam stirs up memories of the past. Stars Lesley Manville (Mrs Harris Goes to Paris) and Ciarán Hinds (The Terror).

Finnegan’s Foursome - 27th October

Sports comedy drama about a pair of American brothers who embark on a golfing holiday in Ireland, in an effort to bond with their sons and scatter their father’s ashes.

Splitsville - 31st October

Chaotic comedy drama about a man whose life begins to unravel when his wife asks for a divorce. Features a notoriously ridiculous - and prolonged - fight scene.

What are Sky Premieres?

Sky Premieres are the films that have arrived on Sky Cinema most recently, with the biggest films getting a major highlight.

These Sky Premiere movies often include some of the year’s biggest releases or major blockbusters from the last couple of years.

The Sky Cinema Premiere channel is the place to watch the new films that are introduced to the catalogue each month, but they can also be found on demand under the New to Sky Cinema section.

Is Sky Cinema the same as Sky Movies?

In a word, yes. Following a rebrand in 2016, Sky Movies is now called Sky Cinema, and offers an even wider range of titles and exclusives than ever before.

Sky Cinema boasts more of the latest blockbusters than anywhere else - including new and exclusive Sky Original films - and an extensive catalogue of over 1,000 movies on demand.
