Horror movie buffs will be delighted to know that a spine-tingling new blockbuster has just dropped on Netflix that has left viewers scared out of their skin.
Over the last few months, hundreds of both brand new and vintage horror titles have been added to the streaming service that you can sink your teeth into.
Earlier this week, Netflix viewers called time-bending and seemingly 'underrated' German psychological thriller series Dark one of the best TV shows they've ever watched.
Also this week, a claustrophobic 2019 jump-scare flick The Lodge left viewers scared out of their wits.

But it sounds as though there's a new blood-chilling silver-screen alum in town - courtesy of horror movie icon James Wan, the director and producer behind the likes of Insidious, The Conjuring and Saw. Check out the trailer here:
Despite Netflix's latest addition having been released back in 2021, it is only until now that millions of viewers from around the world are realising just how terrifying this movie really is.
Staring the likes of Peaky Blinders star Annabelle Wallis, Disney XD's Mckenna Grace and The Finder actor Maddie Hasson, this movie has left millions of viewers across the globe on the edge of their seats.
The storyline follows Madison Mitchell (played by Wallis) as a woman who becomes plagued by horrific visions of people being murdered in grisly ways.
It soon becomes apparent, however, that Madison's visions are compounded after she begins to realise these aren't just happening in her mind, and in fact, these stomach-churning deaths are happening in real life.
We are, of course, talking about Malignant, the blood-curdling scream-fest that surprisingly only bagged a mediocre score of 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb.
Wan's hit does fare slightly better on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, however, where it sits on 76 percent based on almost 200 reviews.
Thousands of viewers to the Netflix thriller have taken to social media to give their verdict on it - some of whom have viewed it as 'unhinged'.
"If you haven't seen the horror movie Malignant, it's now on Netflix and I fully recommend it. F*****g b*****t, love it," one audience member penned on X (formerly Twitter) this week.
Another wrote: "To people in Ireland and the UK. James Wan's film Malignant is now on Netflix. It's absolutely insane and so much fun."
"Malignant is on Netflix! One of the most unhinged horror movies in years. So good," added a third.
And a fourth said: "Malignant is a super weird movie and I’m totally here for it.”
