Netflix has won over audiences with an increasingly varied offering of films and series, particularly thrillers and horror. Among the most discussed titles of recent times is What Happened to Monday, a film that has left many viewers in a state of shock, to the point of calling it one of the most disturbing experiences they've ever had. This title, which for years has remained "underrated", is finally gaining the recognition it deserves thanks to word of mouth and rediscovery by users of the platform. The film, set in a dystopian future, tells the story of seven identical twins who must survive in a world where families must limit themselves to giving birth to only one child, due to overpopulation.
As if this premise were not enough, things get complicated when one of the sisters disappears, pushing the others to challenge the government and face internal and external dangers. With a high-level cast, including Willem Dafoe, Glenn Close, and Noomi Rapace, the film stands out for a compelling narrative that mixes suspense, action, and deeply current themes such as government control and the ethical issues related to overpopulation and technology. Despite the 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes assigned by critics, What Happened to Monday enjoys strong appreciation from the public.
Among the online comments, enthusiastic testimonials stand out such as: "This film kept me glued to the screen from beginning to end" or "The story is terrifying and extraordinary, with a perfect mix of mystery, action, and realistic scenarios". The absence of superfluous scenes and the measured use of special effects are among the aspects most praised by fans of the project. This phenomenon is part of a broader trend of rediscovering genre films on Netflix: in fact, over time, the platform has managed to build a catalog that ranges from horror classics to the most innovative original productions.
Titles such as The Ritual, Veronica, and Incantation have also received positive reviews for their ability to scare and engage the audience. Some of these, such as The Wailing, have reached very high percentages on Rotten Tomatoes, confirming themselves as masterpieces of the genre. Another film that has recently attracted the attention of the public and even of the master of horror Stephen King is I Came By, a thriller that explores themes such as social justice and dark secrets hidden behind respectable facades. King himself described the film as a "perfect little thriller" and his endorsement has helped increase interest in the film.
