To top it off, Tokyo Project, from GIRLS director Richard Shepard, premieres this month, starring Elisabeth Moss and GIRLS actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach as two strangers who embark on a mysterious romance as they explore the back alleys, ramen shops, and secret sake bars of Tokyo.

Plus, you can get in the Halloween spirit with horror flicks Split, The Darkness, The Purge: Election Year, and Lights Out premiering this month. For the scaredy cats out there, Fifty Shades Darker, Rock Dog, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone, and The Shack are right up your alley.
