The Virgin Movies You Can't Miss In October
It might be the month that gives us Halloween – but Virgin Movies is positively bursting with the joys of life right now! That’s because there’s a whole rake of red-hot arrivals set to land in the coming month. From perfect popcorn fare and amazing animation to something to scare your socks off in time for October 31st, here’s the line-up you should be making room for in the weeks ahead…
X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX
Available to rent from October 7th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
An era of the X-Men franchise reaches a conclusion – and if you think they’re going without a fight, you clearly haven’t been paying attention! Sophie Turner’s efforts as Jean Grey take centre stage, and there’s thought alongside the thrills too!
THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2
Available to rent from October 7th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
A fluffy film that’s utterly irresistible sees our favourite four-legged friends back on screen for more fun while their owners look the other way! There’s enough substance for parents to get something from proceedings – but it’s in stuffing this sequel with sight gags and silliness that it really scores!
MA
Available to rent from October 14th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
Anyone looking to get into the Halloween spirit a few weeks early, listen up! Octavia Spencer is superb in this delightfully creepy flick, which tells the story of a lonely woman who might not be quite as timid as she seems; draw the curtains for this one!
TEEN SPIRIT
Available to rent from October 14th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The underdog story is given a fresh and funky twist as Elle Fanning stars as a teen entering a singing competition, with escaping her small town as the ultimate goal. It’s sweet, and smart – with an altogether smashing soundtrack thanks to the likes of Robyn, Sigrid and many more!
PEPPA PIG: FESTIVAL OF FUN
Available to rent from October 14th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
What’s our porcine princess up to now? Well, there’s dancing in mud, celebrating Grandpa Pig’s birthday, and even hitting the cinema – meta, eh?! Ten typically colourful adventures will deliver exactly what confirmed fans are looking for – and a perfect starting point for any little ‘uns who haven’t yet had the pleasure!
MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL
Available to rent from October 21st on Virgin Movies from €4.99
K and J are gone, so say hello to Agents H and M – and, if you were wondering, the movie is just as stylish as that might sound! The usual alien-fighting action is certainly present and correct, but it’s the chemistry between the leads that will keep you glued to the screen – Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, take a bow…
SPIDER IN THE WEB
Available to rent from October 21st on Virgin Movies from €4.99
Ben Kingsley stars as an ageing spy taking on one last mission – and if that alone isn’t enough to pique your interest, we don’t know what you’re looking for! The iconic actor is compelling, of course, but so is the smoke-and-mirrors story; if you like a bit of mystery in a movie, then you’ll love this!
THE GALLOWS ACT II
Available to rent from October 25th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The first chapter of the found-footage fright-fest scared our socks off four years ago; now, there’s a sequel slashing its way on screens! It’s really more of an anthology chapter, featuring a new setting and new characters, but you can expect loads more of the same hair-raising action – and just in time for the scariest night of the year!
