Under Paris

A group of marine biologists, led by one researcher, are tracking a mako shark they’ve been observing that has been tagged. To their astonishment, they locate “Lilith,” who has grown considerably larger. Later on, this giant shark is discovered in the River Seine in Paris, right before a major triathlon event takes place.

If you’re a fan of shark attack movies or creature features, don’t miss out on “Under Paris“, a French film that gained quite a following on Netflix, with whispers of a sequel in the works. Despite numerous shark films being made, “Under Paris” stands out as remarkably effective.

Don’t Move

Imagining anything more terrifying than being completely immobilized within your body, unable to make any movement, utter a sound, or breathe freely due to a potent paralytic agent circulating in your bloodstream? Add to that the chilling reality of a madman pursuing you, and you’ve got the nail-biting plotline for this Netflix suspense thriller masterminded by Sam Raimi.

A few months back, Netflix’s “Netflix & Chills” lineup included the gripping thriller, “Don’t Move.” In this chilling tale, I found myself drawn into the harrowing journey of a character named Iris (Kelsey Asbille). As a grieving mother, she encounters a ruthless serial killer who administers a terrifying substance that compels her to flee, hide, and battle for survival. With each passing moment, her body’s shutdown becomes imminent, leaving her vulnerable in his grasp if she can’t outrun him first.

The Platform 2

In the follow-up to the popular 2019 Spanish horror movie, we revisit the oppressive Vertical Self-Management Center. A fresh authority figure arises and imposes severe regulations within the facility, while a novel character, Perempuán, portrayed by Milena Smit, makes her appearance. As Perempuán delves deeper into the center’s inner workings, she uncovers the social rifts among its inhabitants, which progressively intensify throughout the film, culminating in a gripping finale. Although not as inventive as the original, The Platform 2 remains an engaging watch.

It’s What’s Inside

Netflix has acquired the rights to last year’s critically-acclaimed horror film from Sundance, titled It’s What’s Inside. This movie revolves around a group of friends who come together for a wedding celebration. However, their evening takes an unexpected turn when one friend who they’ve fallen out with arrives carrying a mysterious suitcase. The contents within the suitcase lead to complete chaos throughout the night. If you’re seeking a blend of humor and horror, this could be just the movie for you.

Woman of the Hour

Anna Kendrick generated significant buzz with her first directorial effort, a gripping crime-thriller movie that retells the chilling tale of Rodney Alcala, the notorious serial killer who gained infamy from his stint on the 1978 television show titled The Dating Game.

The narrative, though it deviates from factual events, presents an enthralling and contemporary account that’s likely to strike a chord with women who have experienced the terrifying reality of being pursued or menaced by an unfamiliar man in shadowy corners. Kendrick portrays Sheryl Bradshaw, a character inspired by the real Cheryl Bradshaw, who unwittingly went on a date with Rodney, oblivious to his malicious motives. In actuality, Cheryl did not have a romantic encounter with Rodney.
