Netflix fans have been sharing praise for a “wild” 2020 horror movie, which has been steadily climbing up the Top 10 chart after landing on the streamer. 

2024 is shaping up to be a busy year for the horror genre: in January, we had Bryce McGuire’s haunted pool flick Night Swim; followed by Diablo Cody’s fresh spin on Mary Shelley’s classic, Lisa Frankenstein; and this month saw the release of Blumhouse’s latest release, Imaginary

And that’s just the beginning – in the months to come, there’s Immaculate starring Sydney Sweeney, The Omen prequel, Art the Clown’s return in Terrifier 3, and the hotly anticipated occult serial killer flick, Longlegs.

Between all the new releases, a 2020 movie is enjoying a new lease of life after dropping on Netflix, with viewers saying it’s a “wild” ride.
