Viewers ‘jumping out of their skin’ by ‘traumatising’ new horror film that landed on Netflix last week

Netflix has been bringing armchair critics banger after banger as of late and it doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon.

The latest addition has left viewers 'jumping out of their skin' over the 'traumatising' new horror film that's just been added to the site a matter of days ago.

Having already climbed to the prestigious 'No.1 in Films Today' after landing on the streaming platform on 31 January, it's clear fans have been absolutely loving the chilling flick. Check out the official trailer for Haunt here:

The film's plot follows a bunch of pals meeting up on Halloween night who end up being forced to survive a night of horrors made real when their nightmares come to life at an 'extreme haunted house'.

I'm already hooked.

Originally hitting cinemas a few years back in 2019, the American slasher film, written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, stars the likes of Katie Stevens, Will Brittain, and Lauryn McClain.

However, even though Haunt first hit our screens nearly five years back, it's seemed to have attracted a new buzz after hitting Netflix.

"Well Haunt on Netflix is pretty terrifying isn’t it," penned a second, while a third chimed in: "Haunt on Netflix is a must watch. But make sure it’s daylight outside, all lights on still and no noisy neighbours coz the slightest sound you will jump out of your skin."
