OCTOBER 1

Rapture (1979) [New Movie on MUBI]

Iván Zulueta’s final feature is one of the great underground works of Spanish cinema. A horror director adrift in heroin and self-doubt receives a package from an eccentric young filmmaker: a reel of Super 8, an audio tape, and a key. What follows is a hallucinatory study of cinema as addiction.

OCTOBER 2

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma [MUBI Exclusive Movie]

After years of slapdash sequels, the Camp Miasma franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she vi the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes this year, where it won the Queer Palm, and anchors MUBI’s Halloween programming this month.

Possession (1981) [New Movie on MUBI]

Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill square off in this legendary film from Polish visionary Andrzej Żuławski, a maddening psychological horror that explores, in bloody detail, a marriage’s breakdown. For her work, Adjani won Best Actress at both Cannes and the Césars.

Suspiria (1977) [New Movie on MUBI]

American ballet dancer Suzy Bannion arrives in Freiburg, Germany, to attend the prestigious Tanz Academy. Italian maestro Dario Argento brings all of his technical wizardry to bear on this psychedelically coloured Gothic nightmare. With an iconic score by Goblin and myriad audacious set pieces furnishing a masterclass in sustained panic, Suspiria is the final word in expressionist phantasmagoria.

OCTOBER 3

JAŸ-Z IN 8: Episodes 5 & 6 [New Episodes on MUBI]

Tangerine [New Movie on MUBI]

On Christmas Eve, transgender sex worker Sin-Dee Rella meets her friend and fellow transgender sex worker Alexandra at Donut Time. Once informed that her boyfriend and pimp, Chester, has been cheating on her with a white cisgender woman, Sin-Dee storms out to search the neighbourhood.

How can a movie shot on a mobile phone look as gorgeous as this intrepid portrait of female friendship? Filmmaking tricks aside, this Sean Baker film gives an audacious voice to one of L.A.’s least explored subcultures while emerging as a tactful working-girl revenge hit. A major hit at Sundance.

OCTOBER 23

Shot Reverse Shot (2026) [MUBI Exclusive Short Film]

Between 1985 and 1987, American journalist Edward Serotta photographed the harsh realities of Jewish life in Socialist Romania. The Securitate photographed him back.
