There is nothing worse that scrolling endlessly through all your streaming subscriptions, not knowing what to watch.
The list can get boring after a while but fear not, Netflix has added a new ‘mind bending’ horror movie that you ‘can’t easily forget’ after watching it.
Horror fans will rejoice after viewers of the film referred to it as a ‘cinema of nightmares’.

The 2023 horror was directed by Brandon Cronenberg, who is best known for directing Possessor in 2020.
Since then, he’s directed the Netflix film Infinity Pool which has a star studded cast including the likes of Alexander Skarsgård, Cleopatra Coleman and Mia Goth - who is best known for starring in the X horror series.
The film follows the story of a couple (played by Skarsgård and Coleman) who are enjoying an all-inclusive vacation before they are led away from their resort by a strange woman.
As things unfold, the pair begin to experience more and more violent elements of the resort.
All stemming from a horrific incident that happened on the island, the characters must now face death for their actions.
On the surface it’s a psychological trip with deeper themes running through, including class inequality and morality.
And the horror earned a generous rating of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Many people took to the review site to share their own thoughts on the psychological thriller.
One viewer wrote: “This is a really cool and original story that made me feel like I was trapped in a time loop.”
Another said: “It’s most definitely not for those of weak constitutions - or faint hearts - but it’s also not a movie, once seen, you can easily forget.”
A third user explained: “Cronenberg is now going all-in for the cinema of nightmares, with a film that gets under the skin and itches, invades the brain and plays havoc with the synapses.”
A fourth commented: “There are movies that leave you wondering what exactly you watched and may even be unsettling. Enter, Infinity Pool.”
And a fifth viewer added: “I had to watch this movie twice (the 2nd time stoned) before I realized the magic of it. It’s a philosophical film. Exploring what depths of evil that humans could stoop to if no consequences for their actions and if they had plenty of wealth.”
If you’re feeling brave enough to have a watch of the horror film for yourself, it is now available to stream on Netflix.
