While October usually signals the arrival of all sorts of spooky, creepy, scary, and otherwise appropriately Halloween-themed films to both theaters and streaming services, this month’s batch of new titles on Netflix offers up a delightfully wide variety of choices that aren’t all tied to the year’s primary celebration of fear. Sure, those titles are there — from more mainstream chillers like “Cult of Chucky” and the new original “The Babysitter,” to more offbeat picks like the cannibal coming-of-age tale “Raw” and the seminal “Donnie Darko” — but this month’s incoming list has more than enough for movie fans who don’t want to shriek at their televisions.

Speaking from my own personal perspective, Ice Guardians is one of the most interesting and gripping documentary’s I have watched recently. Full disclosure first… I am a Brit, a little Englander if you will so my knowledge of ice hockey and the world of that sport is very limited to the Mighty Ducks movies. However I love a good personal documentary that can engage me in something I know little about.

The new sports documentary “Ice Guardians” examines one of the most controversial, provocative positions in the NHL: the enforcer, an unofficial role who deters and respond to violent oppositional play. A punishing profession born out of an instinct to self-police a brutal game, the role now finds itself under harsh scrutiny as the press and TV news cast debate its violent nature. But what purpose does it actually serve? The film profiles many former and active NHL players, including Kelly “Chaser” Chase, Dave “The Hammer” Schultz, Luke Gazdic in order to examine the heart of the enforcer. Watch an exclusive clip for the film below.
