Right now however, it looks like Netflix’s latest release, Hypnotic, might just top them all. According to stats from FlixPatrol, it’s currently the most popular movie on the entire platform worldwide which is quite impressive considering all the other horror options — and just plain other options — available to tune into.

“A young woman seeking self-improvement enlists the help of a renowned hypnotist but, after a handful of intense sessions, discovers unexpected and deadly consequences.”

Synopsis from Netflix

Don’t believe the stats? Plenty of Twitter users have also been heaping praise on the film, with many recommending it as a must-watch choice for anyone with a Netflix subscription.
