Millions of people on TikTok have watched clips from Burning Bright – here’s how to watch the full movie and if it’s available to watch on Netflix or streaming.

Random movies and TV shows can receive a surge of rapid, intense interest on TikTok. All it takes is a few hashtags and good luck on the algorithm, and suddenly everyone wants to know where to watch something.

For example, over the past few weeks, horror fans became obsessed with a short film called Special Day, while the trailer for a tense 2018 thriller called Rust Creek also amassed millions of views.

Now, people want to know where they can watch 2010’s Burning Bright; not just a selection of clips, but the full movie. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Where to watch Burning Bright

Burning Bright is available to stream on Shudder. It isn’t on Netflix right now.

Shudder is arguably the biggest horror streaming platform in the world. You can sign up on its website, but you can also access all of its titles via your Amazon Prime subscription.

The movie’s official synopsis reads: “After her lousy stepfather steals her savings to buy a vicious tiger, Kelly loses all hope of going to college. But Kelly’s situation worsens when a hurricane leaves her and her autistic brother boarded up in their house with the man-eating beast.

“This edge-of-your-seat thriller follows the gutsy heroine and her younger sibling as they struggle to outwit the ravenous predator and find a way to survive.”

It doesn’t have a critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience rating isn’t great: it’s currently sitting at 47%. That’s not to say it hasn’t received positive reviews, with Eye For Film calling it a “taut thriller, as solid and arresting as a 500lb carnivore” and praising its “sense of real bestial menace”, as well as comparing it to Open Water and Black Water.
