Long weekend for the All Saints’ holiday, but like every Friday here we are on time with our streaming recommendations dedicated to Prime Video subscribers and selected from the latest news and expiring titles.
For new releases we would like to highlight the Halloween-themed Spanish horror film Apocalypse Z and, for those who love stories of beautiful and rebellious people, the French film Libre. We would also like to point out that from today two film sagas are back in the catalogue, Back to the Future and Harry Potter.
Moving on to content close to cancellation, we have chosen four films for you: the drama Lion, the thrillers The Bone Collector and Traffic, and finally the time travel comedy (if Back to the Future isn’t enough for you) Dolf and the Children’s Crusade . The choice is yours and have a good weekend!
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End (Original film) – release date October 31st
A strange rabies-like disease begins to spread uncontrollably across the planet, transforming humans into extremely aggressive creatures. But Manel (Francisco Ortiz) has been experiencing his own personal apocalypse for some time: still affected by the loss of his wife in an accident, he has been depressed for a year and has been living isolated from his family, with Lúculo, his cat, as his only company. When the contagion spreads, his sister insists that he leave the city of Vigo and join her in the Canary Islands, but the plan fails. Manel and Lúculo are soon forced to leave, meeting unlikely but indispensable traveling companions on land and sea. Apocalipsis Z: The Beginning of the End is a story of pain, a journey of survival, both physical and emotional, with action, suspense, a rabid infection, a little blood… and a grumpy cat.
