Last week, the "Venom" sequel stole everyone's hearts and this week another familiar face returns: James Bond

This weekend, Daniel Craig takes his final bow as the iconic 007 in the latest Bond adventure, Ann Dowd and Martha Plimpton are mothers forever affected by a school shooting in an emotional drama and Noomi Rapace plays mom to a hybrid human/sheep girl in a modern-day Icelandic fable.

And if you want to get into the Halloween mood, the virtual Nightstream Film Festival runs through Oct. 13 with a full online slate of horror, sci-fi and fantasy movies plus a conversation with "The Green Knight" director David Lowery and a celebration of "Child's Play" villain Chucky.

Here's a guide to new movies that'll satisfy every cinematic taste: 

'I didn't feel I could do it anymore':Daniel Craig on why he almost quit Bond before 'No Time to Die'

James Bond (Daniel Craig) hits the bar with Paloma (Ana de Armas) in the latest 007 film "No Time to Die."

If you live for James Bond flicks: 'No Time to Die'

Some aspects are a misfire but Craig's explosive finale is a decent concluding chapter of this 007 era. This go-round, the iconic spy has to deal with an interrupted retirement, being replaced by MI6 (hello, Lashana Lynch!), a high-tech bioweapon and a lackluster supervillain (Rami Malek). It's no Skyfall, but a clever script, awesome action scenes and Ana de Armas (as a rookie CIA agent) make it a fine addition to the Bond canon.

Review:'No Time to Die' ends Daniel Craig's James Bond run with a stirring if flawed effort

'I didn't feel I could do it anymore': Daniel Craig on why he almost quit Bond before 'No Time to Die'

Martha Plimpton (left) and Ann Dowd are two mothers forever changed because of an unspeakable tragedy in the emotional drama "Mass."

If you need a great movie: 'Mass'

Writer/director Fran Kranz's powerful and thought-provoking debut plays it simple to showcase hugely complex feelings and issues. Reed Birney and Dowd star as parents of a school shooter who, after some time's passed, finally sit down with the mom (Plimpton) and dad (Jason Isaacs) of one of his victims. While the acting's great across the board, Dowd is phenomenal in a movie that ventures to some tough places with hope amidst absolute grief.

'Mass':A harrowing look at school shooting aftermath, told from a parents' perspective

Burkely Duffield (from left), Sydney Park, Asjha Cooper, Jesse LaTourette and Dale Whibley star as youngsters menaced by a masked killer in "There's Someone Inside Your House."

If you dig teen slashers: 'There's Someone Inside Your House'

Netflix rolled out the superb "Fear Street" trilogy over the summer but this Halloween-timed adaptation of the Stephanie Perkins novel is a more familiar young-adult horror venture. A Hawaiian girl (Sydney Park), who moved to small-town Nebraska under mysterious circumstances, has to deal with a murderer on the loose targeting her classmates and exposing secrets. There are some decent kills, though, and the masked culprit wearing the "face" of his victims is a cool gimmick.

Hilmir Snær Guðnason and Noomi Rapace star as an Icelandic couple who takes an unusual human/sheep hybrid child in as their daughter in "Lamb."

If you like unconventional parenting stories: 'Lamb'

Part horror film and part rural fantasy, the film stars Rapace and Hilmir Snær Guðnason as a childless Icelandic couple who keep sheep on their farm. When a birth brings a strange creature that's part human, part lamb, they take it in and raise "Ada" as their daughter. While the new mom and dad enjoy this growing sense of family, various obstacles arise – including a mama ewe that's mad as hell – in a sometimes absurd, constantly intriguing exploration of man and nature.

Jason Sudeikis stars in "South of Heaven" as a convicted felon who gets an early parole after serving 12 years for armed robbery, and he vows to give his childhood love (Evangeline Lily), now dying from cancer, the best year of her life.

If you're a 'Ted Lasso' super-fan: 'South of Heaven'

For those who need more Sudeikis in their lives now that the second season of "Ted Lasso" wrapped up, he plays a goodhearted hard-luck Texan in this dark and messy crime drama. Set free after serving 12 years for armed robbery, Jimmy (Sudeikis) vows to his terminally ill love Annie (Evangeline Lilly) to do whatever he can to make the most of her remaining life, but inevitably goes back down a bad path with his crooked parole officer (Shea Whigham) and a ferocious crime boss (Mike Colter).

Barbara Hershey plays an new resident at a nursing home who suspects something supernatural is afoot in "The Manor."

If you're been missing Barbara Hershey: 'The Manor'

The "Welcome to the Blumhouse" entry centers on an aging former dancer (Hershey) and the latest resident at a high-end assisted living facility. She begins to see terrifying supernatural visions and suspects something untoward is going on, all while the staff gaslights her and her family into thinking that it's signs of dementia. Come for the occasional freaky jumpscare and the wry jabs at nursing-home care, stay for the chemistry between Hershey and Bruce Davison – co-stars of 1969's "Last Summer."

Where to watch: Amazon Prime

Tenoch Huerta and Ariana Guerra star as a Mexican-American couple who find some unusual artifacts in "Madres."

If you love socially conscious horror: 'Madres'

Inspired by a true story, director Ryan Zaragoza's 1970s-set Blumhouse thriller centers on young Mexican-American couple Diana (Ariana Guerra) and Beto (Tenoch Huerta), who are expecting their first child. After moving to a migrant farming community in California, Diana finds strange artifacts around their new house from the previous resident and begins to have frightening visions in a movie that offers a healthy amount of creepiness and a dose of real-life racist terror.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime

Bruce Willis (right, with Simon Phillips) plays an injured cop held hostage in the action movie "Survive the Game."

If you're a Bruce Willis completist: 'Survive the Game'

Willis, who now seems very committed to a late-career stint of bad action movies, stars as a cop who gets shot in a drug bust gone wrong. Chad Michael Murray at least is still getting work, as a grieving farmer who has good and bad guys literally crashing through his front door. Maybe watch "Die Hard" or binge "One Tree Hill" instead.
