Viewers had some great reviews on the internet for Netflix's new horror film, 'The Strays'.

After watching the movie, one user on Twitter wrote, "we just finished watching the strays and WTF!?" another user chimed in with, "The Strays on @netflix watch that sh*t."

Unlocked

This movie isn't about ghosts but has more of a technological thriller vibe to it. On an unfortunate day, a dangerous man uses the lead character's lost phone to track and follow her everywhere. The movie is a gift to the audience all the way from South Korea, proving the fact that Asian horror movies have set a benchmark for all the horror movie makers out there. One user wrote, "Another thing to watch is Unlocked on Netflix, its creepy af, if you like korean movies I recommend it!" while another user chimed in with, "if i ever lose my phone i don’t want it back after watching unlocked on netflix."

Incantation

Released last year in June, Taiwanese supernatural film 'Incantation' is a movie about a mother who tries to protect her daughter from the curse of her past.

I couldn’t sleep after watching that movie," to which another user replied with, "Incantation on Netflix is the wildestttt horror movie I’ve ever seen."

The evil spirit attached to the curse then begins to haunt her six-year-old daughter.

The Call

When two women connect through a phone call, their lives change forever. The unsettling part of this movie is that the phone call comes through a disconnected old phone, where a woman calls the lead to tell her that she is being tortured. This is Another Asian film that surpasses the expectations that people have from authentic horror movies. One user wrote on Twitter, "I watched The Call last night, the South Korean version (2020), and I think it’s the wildest and most bizarre thing I’ve seen in recent time. My god, I dreamt about it too. If you are looking for the most twisted psychological thriller on Netflix right now, watch The Call!" Another user expressed their opinion about the film and wrote, "I finally watch the Call on netflix It was good but the ending left me with a bitter taste, don't get me wrong it was a good one but... idk i wanted more." 

Fall

Viewers felt physically sick after watching this movie. 'Fall' isn't about demons, but might trigger people who have a fear of heights. The survival thriller follows two friends, Becky and Hunter, who climb a 2,000 feet tall radio tower and get stranded at the top with no way down. The worst part that ensues after being stranded on the tower is the hallucinations that come after. The movie will surely give you a case of vertigo and will leave you with a fear of heights.
