Netflix’s Frankenstein is one of the best screen adaptations of the 1818 classic novel. Do you think you know the movie’s story? Well, you might be proved wrong. Frankenstein was Guillermo del Toro’s dream project, so he crafted a brilliant story based on the original. Well, the best part of his vision was that he didn’t make the creature seem like a mere horror; instead, he allowed us to see the creature’s human side.
Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, who is fascinated with death. So, he creates a creature using the body parts of the corpses. However, after the creature comes to life, Victor becomes frustrated with its appearance and the way it speaks and moves. He abandons him, but the creature, unable to accept rejection, follows Victor to seek answers.

A Knives Out Mystery film never disappoints, and Wake Up Dead Man raised everyone’s expectations from the franchise even more.

KPop Demon Hunters arrived on Netflix in June 2025 and, within days, garnered a huge fanbase for its stylish animation and top-notch visuals. Instead of just being a parody of KPop, it features behind-the-scenes, idol training, stage personas, and everything in the most subtle way. Above all, we also see the lead protagonists dealing with the supernatural while maintaining their normal lives.
Kpop Demon Hunters follow a girl group, who are Kpop idols during the day and trained demon hunters at night. They have taken on the responsibility of protecting the human world from the demonic threats that emerge from time to time. So, basically, when on stage, they are not only performing for their audience, but they are also creating an energy with their music that weakens the demons, keeping their fans safe.

Bring Her Back is one of those horror movies that depends on cheap jump scares. Instead, it makes the horror feel personal wth the unsettling setting and the uneasy silences. Besides that, it features a slow-burning story that rewards those who unapologetically stick to it until the very end.
