As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast who’s seen more than his fair share of terrifying experiences both in-game and on screen, I can confidently say that this latest lineup from Netflix is nothing short of spine-tingling excitement!
Warning Netflix enthusiasts, brace yourselves for some chills: Three spine-tingling horror flicks have recently joined the streaming library, including a follow-up to one of their most popular homegrown productions.
As a thrill-seeking gamer in October 2024, I’m finding myself in a chilling predicament – hundreds of spine-tingling horror movies are streaming, and it seems like an impossible task to decide which ones to dive into. Do I go for the pulse-pounding found-footage flicks, the bloodcurdling slashers akin to Terrifier, or the bone-chilling classics that have been etched in horror history? The choice is terrifyingly tantalizing!
Well, this weekend, we can make it easy for you.
Three brand-new horror movies have dropped on Netflix, and if you want a summary of their plots, cast, and what the reviews are saying, we’ve got you covered.
The Platform 2
Platform 2 is the follow-up to Netflix’s hugely successful 2019 movie, which was a chilling dystopian horror story centered on the central theme of its named penal system.
Prisoners reside in a tall structure where meals are sent down from above for all to consume. However, those at the top have the advantage of choosing their food first, frequently devouring everything left in front of them, leaving only scraps and remains for those at the bottom.
The follow-up has a new cast, including Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian.
In the city of the Platform, a recently arrived inhabitant finds themselves caught up in a struggle against an enigmatic ruler’s oppressive measures aimed at combating a ruthless feeding system. However, when consuming food from the wrong dish means certain death, how far would you push yourself to survive?
It doesn’t have a Rotten Tomatoes score yet, but the early word has been (mostly) positive.
The movie isn’t suitable for viewing while eating due to its intense and graphic content. However, the dialogue and acting are strong, and the thought-provoking examination of social power dynamics is equally compelling as it was in the initial version.
Instead, IndieWire characterized it as a “monotonous mix of colored filters, religious symbols, and puzzling references, none of which hold a candle to the intrigue of the story’s underlying concept – a concept that seems to be intentionally watered down.
It’s What’s Inside
It’s What’s Inside has a mysterious premise: a group of college friends reunite the night before one of their weddings, and someone brings a device that allows any of them to swap bodies. Things get weird (obviously).
At a pre-wedding gathering, things take a terrifying turn when an old acquaintance shows up carrying a peculiar gadget that can swap bodies, leading to an intense exploration of identity and reality.
Drawn into a sinister charade, the collective discovers long-hidden secrets, repressed emotions, and ancient grudges. As their worlds are engulfed by treachery and shocking disclosures, ‘IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE’ strips away layers of mystery with its thought-provoking twists and unexpected turns.
This film marks the first feature as a director for Greg Jardin, and it features Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Devon Terrell, Gavin Leatherwood, Reina Hardesty, Nina Bloomgarden, and David Thompson in the leading roles.
Garden doesn’t rigidly categorize It’s What’s Inside as solely a “sci-fi thriller with humor,” instead viewing it as such. However, it does evoke a sense of “spiritual terror.
The movie earned a 77% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Bloody Disgusting praised it, labeling it as “pure entertainment” and “very amusing.
Perri Nemiroff referred to it as an “exceptionally ingenious idea, elevated by remarkable acting skills and sophisticated, expertly applied visual effects.
CTRL
If you enjoy movies like Unfriended and Searching, get ready for a fantastic experience with CTRL, the latest ‘screenlife’ thriller from Netflix. This film revolves around an AI application that malfunctions.
The film follows a successful influencer couple, Nella (Ananya Panday) and Joe (Vihaan Samat), who regularly post videos together. They’re beloved by their audience, but it all falls apart when he cheats on her.
The narrative explores three key questions: What transpires after a separation? In an era dominated by data’s influence, where does the line between sharing and over-sharing lie? To what extent are you prepared to reveal your life, and does doing so gradually lead to a loss of control?
In a nutshell, I’ll be stepping away from discussing the intricate details, but here’s the gist: I find myself leaning on an AI software to vanish from Nella’s world – and boy, did things take an unexpected turn for the worse!
In a conversation with Netflix, director Vikramaditya Motwane remarked: “Given how much time we invest in our digital devices, it’s more accurate to view screen time as screen life.
As a gamer immersed in the digital realm, I often wonder: am I truly the master of my digital extensions, or is the digital world controlling me instead? That’s the intriguing question CTRL aims to answer. In this cutting-edge exploration, we required actors who embody such a lifestyle and a platform like Netflix that resonates with our audience.
The movie lacks a rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but just to keep things honest, I should mention that the reviews for it haven’t exactly been rave reviews.
According to India Today, it was deemed as “dull and failing to deliver a fulfilling conclusion.” Meanwhile, MensXP described it as an “annoying viewing experience” and predicted that it might disappoint viewers.
Hey there fellow gaming buddies! This weekend, I’ve got an exciting tip for all the horror enthusiasts out there. You can catch V/H/S Beyond on Shudder without spending a dime – just use a clever trick! If chilling tales aren’t your thing, don’t worry, there are plenty of fresh movies popping up that you should definitely check out instead! Happy movie-watching!
