It’s okay, you can call me a wimp. That’s because the new number one movie atop Netflix’s chart this week is a bona fide horror flick that, well, I never want to see. Because, y’know, I like to get sleep at night. But I can see why it’s a horror movie lover’s dream ticket onthe best streaming service(and just ahead ofValentine’s Day, how apt/unfortunate?)
The movie in question isHaunt, a 2019 movie from the writers ofA Quiet Placeand, among others, Eli Roth listed on the extensive list of producers. Netflix labels it with three phrases: “Gruesome. Violent. Teen Scream”. Yup, that’s it sealed for me,definitelynever going to watch. But fans are absolutely loving it – as theultra-rate 100% Rotten Tomatoes audience scoregoes to prove.
The critics are less thrilled, though, with a less-than-stellar70% rating on the same Rotten Tomatoes page. But since when did gruesome-for-the-hell-of-it movies land places as ultimate classics? Not exactly often. But when it’s for the sake of a hellish thrill ride, I have horror-movie-loving friends who will be frothing at the mouth in anticipation of watching this one. No need towait until Halloween, folks!

As you can see from the trailer up page and the selection of delightful images I’ve selected in the gallery above,Hauntcertainly isn’t messing about on the fright-o-meter scale. “Do you want to see my face?” says a scarily devil-masked dude at the end of the trailer. Um, no thanks, I’m good – but I know a whole bunch of you dear readers will absolutely go in for it. Good luck.
As ever, however, I’m always pleased that Netflix is embracing variety. WhileHauntisn’t at the top of my personal list (read that as ‘bottom’), it’s clearly a hit among horror fans. If you’re looking for something altogether less gore-fest andmore sci-fi, however, then do check out a previousNetflix no.1 series,Bodies, which I think is well worth a watch. Or ifHaunthas put you off Netflix entirely for a bit, then go have a glance atAmazon Prime Video’s best streaming shows and moviesfor this month – there’s a couple of feel-good ones in there, which is exactly what I now need…
