With fall well underway and spooky season rearing its haunted head, now is the perfect time to curl up on the couch with a good movie. While horror typically reigns supreme this time of year, there are still plenty of incredible films well worth your precious viewing minutes, especially from the science fiction genre.
Regardless of how much we love heavy hitters like the "Star Wars," "Star Trek," and "Alien" franchises, sci-fi films encapsulate far more than just stories set in space. Time travel, neo-futurism, artificial intelligence, and other forms of speculative fiction all birth some of the most fascinating stories ever put to film. Fortunately for those looking to broaden their sci-fi horizons, the streaming offerings this October have a world of options. Here are five of the best sci-fi films available to stream this October, and where to watch them.

Here’s Kev with a video review of the only British film to make it into the London Scifi film festival this year, Repeat, which was shot between lockdowns last year on a micro-budget.
A zealous cognitive psychologist dedicates his life to university lecturing. While tinkering with one of his many experiments he stumbles across an unbelievable discovery-a way of communicating with the other side. His joy is short-lived, however, as his daughter is put into potentially grave danger and when all leads go cold, he takes matters into his own hands to find out the truth.
Directed by Grant Archer and Richard Miller (who also wrote the film), Repeat stars Charlotte Ritchie, Nina Wadia and Tom England. You can also check out our written review right here.

Repeat is one of those films that falls somewhere between science fiction and a tale of the supernatural if not one of outright horror. In this case using technology to speak to the dead. That’s been done before, but unlike Frequencies, or the more recent Dead Air, this isn’t just a radio with supernatural powers. It’s a device developed by cognitive psychologist Ryan (Tom England; Cosmos).
But despite this potential breakthrough his life is in shambles. His daughter Sam (Ellila-Jean Wood) has been missing for over a year. The effects of this have strained his marriage to Emily and his experiments have caused his reputation as a professor to suffer. The one bright spot in his life is the fact he hasn’t been able to contact her with his device,...

Telling a human story in Repeat
Recently screened at Sci-Fi London and now getting a digital release in the UK, Repeat is a great example of how a high concept film can be made on a small budget, and of how focusing on science doesn’t have to mean failing to focus on human stories. It stars Tom England and Charlotte Ritchie as a couple whose daughter (played by Ellila-Jean Wood) has gone missing. Whilst the girl’s mother deals with her grief in a very practical, down-to-earth way, psychologist Tom become obsessed with developing a machine which, he believes, could enable him to contact the spirits of people who have died – but how well does he understand his own work, and can anything prepare him for what will happen if his search is successful?
The film was developed by the creative team of Richard Miller (writer and director) and Grant Archer (cinematographer). They already.

"I guess you've spoken to someone you've lost...?" Gravitas has unveiled an official trailer for an indie sci-fi horror film titled Repeat, from filmmakers Grant Archer & Richard Miller. It explores questions that have always plagued mankind: Where do our souls go after we are dead? Does consciousness "vanish" with our dead bodies? Can we connect to people in the afterlife? A zealous cognitive psychologist stumbles across an unbelievable discovery – a way of communicating with the other side. His joy is short-lived, however, as his daughter is put in grave danger. He invents some kind of machine that enables people to connect with and talk to dead relatives. But, of course, something always goes wrong. Tom England stars with Charlotte Ritchie, Nina Wadia, Ellila-Jean Wood, Georgia Conlan, and Joshua Ford. The design of the new device looks cool, just not sure it's practical - how does a big ring light help us talk with the dead?...
