Couch theater — DVD previews

By Sam Struckhoff Halloween Kills (R) -– Available on streaming the same day it opens in theaters, “Halloween Kills” sustains our craving for Jamie Lee Curtis slasher sequels. Curtis once again brings the screams as Laurie Strode, and now with her daughter (played by Judy Greer) and granddaughter in tow, she’s still trying to fend off killer Michael Myers. By this point, Myers should be in a nursing home, but he’s still managing to free himself from burning basement cages in order to terrorize the masses. This time, though, he faces a huge mob of survivors of his previous attacks who are determined to definitively take him down for real. Available Oct. 15. (Peacock)

I Know What You Did Last Summer –- A Prime original, this series is based on the 1997 movie, which was based on the 1973 young adult novel of the same name. In it, a group of teens hit and kill a person while driving on a dark road at night. Leaving the body behind, they vow to each other to keep it a secret. But guilt and fear bubble up after anonymous notes start appearing, claiming knowledge of their crime. The ‘90s movie was gorier than the novel, but this series claims to hold truer to the original story, which was propelled more by the psychological stresses and interpersonal relationships than revenge violence. Available Oct. 15. (Prime Video)

The Trip -- You know those horror flicks where a couple goes away for a nice quiet getaway in a woodsy cabin, only to encounter some psycho who tortures and slowly kills them? This isn’t one of those flicks. A couple does go off on a weekend getaway in a woodsy cabin, but the twist is that they each go there fully intending to kill the other. A Netflix original, “I Onde Dager” is a Norwegian action thriller about a highly dysfunctional couple who also are really inept at successful combat. Depending on your point of view, you’ll either find it hysterical or really sad. Subtitled for those of you who don’t speak Swedish and Norwegian. (Netflix)
