Based on the 2015 video game of the same name, Until Dawn follows a group of friends staying at a secluded cabin (classic!) who are trapped in a time loop and are forced to try and survive until morning every day. Dying resets the loop, which only increases the danger with each new trial. The film was helmed by Annabelle: Creation (2017) director David F. Sandberg, who just signed on to direct two more horror films for Netflix in the near future.
The connections can be genuine, and the feelings often real, but the situations are contrived and manipulated, a pioneering brand of deliberately saccharine, hokey and ridiculous in the name of love and for the sake of entertainment. Watching The Bachelor and its spinoffs, as I occasionally have over its two-plus-decade run, is to be baffled, frustrated, annoyed and ultimately hooked.
The animated Netflix sensation, KPop Demon Hunters, hasn't been out for very long - but it's already proven to be a huge hit among viewers of all ages. The animation style is beautiful, the storyline is genuinely engaging, and the soundtrack is phenomenal, topping charts all over the world. If you ask us, we think KPop Demon Hunters may be Netflix's closest thing yet to a Frozen moment,
Producer Roy Lee said in a new interview that the movie is based on the first BioShock game. "Netflix wants us to keep everything under wraps," Lee told The Direct, before confirming that the film is "definitely" based on the 2007 original. The Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence is attached to direct the BioShock movie, and Lee confirmed it will be the director's next film after The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
Netflix will now let you create and share highlight clips of your favorite shows and movies right from the Netflix app on your phone. Last year, Netflix launched a feature that let you bookmark spots from shows and movies and save them to your account to watch again later or share with others. Starting today, Netflix is rolling out the ability for you set a specific end point for what you're saving, meaning that you can make a specific clip instead of having the scene
Netflix launched a scene-clipping feature for mobile last year called " Moments, " which lets users quickly save their favorite scenes from shows and movies within the Netflix app. The streaming giant rolled out an update on Wednesday, allowing users to specify both a starting point and an endpoint when saving a scene. People now have the option to adjust the scene's ending, allowing them to create clips that are as long or as short as they prefer.
Comedies, thrillers, and a Steven Spielberg classic make up the best movies on Netflix in September. Watch all the "Shrek" movies, "E.T.," and Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" movie.

When the annals of 2025 at the movies are written, no one will remember The Electric State. The film, a sci-fi comic-book adaptation, is set in a world in which sentient robots have lost a war with humans. Netflix blew a reported $320m on it, making it the 14th most expensive film ever made. But it tanked: though The Electric State initially claimed the No 1 spot on the streamer, viewers quickly lost interest.
Any anthology series is a risk. Because the story keeps changing, some instalments are going to be more popular than others. This proved especially true for HBO crime series True Detective, as the folk-horror tone and all-time performances from Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey made Season 1 by far the most acclaimed. Every season that followed was forced to stand against it in comparison, and they were mostly found wanting.
There are times in a TV critic's life when a series to which they are assigned inspires them to write reams of text, sometimes because said series is good, sometimes because it's bad. Then there is what I like to call critic purgatory, when the series inspires nothing. Neither impressive nor dreadful, the series is adrift in the doldrums of artistry. If they handed out Emmys for dull television, then I am certain "Hostage," a limited British series now airing on Netflix, would make a clean sweep.
Director Guillermo del Toro began publicly speaking about wanting to adapt Frankenstein in 2007 when he told Jo Blo that he "would kill to make" a "Miltonian tragedy" version of Mary Shelley's classic. In the intervening years, the film began to take shape. Confirmed for Universal in 2008 with Doug Jones as the monster, it was shelved for the Dark Universe, per Jones himself.
Netflix initially implemented CQRS for Tudum, utilizing Kafka and Cassandra to optimize read performance while a third-party CMS managed content updates through a dedicated ingestion service.
