A new horror movie on Netflix is so terrifying that it’s leaving viewers with overwhelming anxiety.
With Halloween just around the corner, many are on the hunt for a film that will get their hearts pounding.
Netflix’s latest thriller, produced by renowned horror director Sam Raimi, could be just what horror fans have been waiting for.
This highly anticipated movie has quickly climbed the ranks, securing the number two spot on Netflix shortly after its release. Fans are flooding social media, with some even dubbing it the “best horror movie of the year.”
Renowned for redefining horror, Sam Raimi returns nearly a decade after his last success, Don’t Breathe (2016), delivering a high-stakes thriller that puts a fresh spin on the classic cat-and-mouse chase.
Debuting on Netflix earlier this week, the movie follows Iris, played by Kelsey Asbille.
Grieving the recent loss of her son, Iris is thrust into a chilling game of survival, where every move could mean life or death.
When a stranger invades her life, instead of providing solace, he administers a “special relaxant” that initiates a nerve-wracking countdown.
Iris soon discovers she has only 20 minutes before the drug fully kicks in, rendering her temporarily paralyzed—just enough to leave her dangerously exposed.
Desperate to outsmart her captor, Iris battles against the relentless ticking clock, navigating one terrifying obstacle after another in a frantic quest for help.
Directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, this film is designed to keep audiences gripping their seats, breath held till the very end.
With every passing second, the tension escalates as Iris’s body gradually succumbs to the drug’s effects, leaving her vulnerable to her captor’s ever-present, menacing shadow.
Kelsey Asbille delivers a powerful performance, bringing raw intensity to Iris’s emotional and physical ordeal as she battles through near-impossible odds.
Asbille navigates Iris’s physical limitations with gripping realism, conveying the gradual, haunting loss of control over her own body.
Opposite her, Finn Wittrock delivers a chilling performance as Richard, the stranger behind Iris’s harrowing ordeal.
Wittrock’s menacing portrayal of Richard establishes him as a formidable antagonist, intensifying the suspense that permeates the film.
Fans are flooding social media with their reactions.
One viewer shared, “Need something to watch? Don’t Move is a really good thriller!! It’s the kind that keeps you on the edge of your seat!”
Another user encouraged everyone to check it out, stating, “If you like thriller horror movies, watch it on Netflix ASAP. Sam Raimi approved (produced!) and it’s so f**king good.”
Expressing their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter, another fan remarked, “Prepare yourself for an intense experience from start to finish. Whew, terrifying!”
“This is exactly what I was hoping for after watching the trailer. It’s an hour and a half of pure suspense and tension,” another viewer confirmed.
Ratings have been equally impressive, with one fan declaring, “Don’t Move on Netflix gets a 10/10.”
Others have shared their experiences, describing how they felt “on edge” and had their “anxiety through the roof” while watching the film.
Don’t Move has garnered a positive reception, boasting a solid 71% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
More than just a typical thriller, it presents a relentless survival game that encapsulates both the desperation of its protagonist and the heart-stopping fear that the audience shares with her.
Now streaming on Netflix, Don’t Move provides horror enthusiasts with a chilling and suspenseful experience, perfectly timed for Halloween.
