The Strays (2023)
The latest addition to Netflix’s roster of shows has left viewers horrified – with some labelling it the ‘scariest film of 2023’ and that they’re ‘scarred for life.’
The Strays, currently on Netflix, follows a mixed-race woman, Neve, who has crafted a seemingly perfect life for herself in a middle-class predominantly white suburb in the UK.
But her bubble is burst when she starts seeing things that may not be there and is fearful something or someone from her past is returning to haunt her.
It’s not long before two strangers appear in her life, infiltrating every part of her world with ambitions to ruin everything she’s fought so hard to create.
When the truth is revealed, there are serious consequences for anyone who has been caught up in Neve’s web of deceit and lies.
The film has had such an impact on viewers, it’s been compared to Jordan Peele’s 2017 psychological horror Get Out.
One fan warned: “If you’re trying to sleep well tonight, don’t watch The Strays right before bed.”
Another added: "Just finished watching The Strays on Netflix and I think I’m scarred for life, because what the hell did I just watch?”
Old People

Incantation
This creepy film has left fans “having nightmares” and “sleeping with the light on.”
Featuring jumps, gore and a chilling plot twist, Incantation tells the story of a young mother who must go to extreme lengths to save her daughter’s life from a malevolent spirit.
Incantation is so terrifying it managed to freak out TikTok when it was first released, resulting in a challenge for people to watch the movie without pausing or stopping altogether.
Incantation is Taiwan’s highest-grossing horror movie of all time and it seems like Netflix viewers can’t get enough of the terrifying film.
One watcher tweeted: “HOLY SH*T!!! Incantation was the scariest movie ive ever seen. Cursed movie. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping with the lights off today.”
“Two days before I knew about the film and watched it I dreamt of a man covered in writing after being cursed. Yikes!!! Such a good film and I hope it didn't curse me!!,” added another fan.
A third enthused: “I watched #incantation yesterday and OH . MY . GOD the plot twist damnnn!”
