It’s that time of the week again, whereNetflixreleases its Global Top 10 of the most watched movies, and somewhat predictably Chris Hemsworth’smildly entertaining action movieExtraction 2is topping the charts again. In the week to June 25,Extraction 2has accumulated the most views at 42.2 million, followed byExtraction 2with 13.8 million.
But the best movie in the charts isn’t quite as popular, it’s at number nine with 2.4 million views and I can probably guarantee that each of one of those viewers aren’t going to sleep very well for a very long time.
The film isGet Out,which stars Daniel Kaluuya in the lead role, who gives an astonishingly good performance. Written and directed by Jordan Peele, this horrifying masterpiece is one of the most disturbing films I’ve ever seen, and all the more so because it starts off so nice. Chris Washington is invited to visit his girlfriend’s parents for the weekend, and while they’re pretty clumsy – the parents are very awkward but they appear to be doing their best – it turns out that something really, really horrible is going on.
If that sounds a bit much, don’t worry. There’s much lighter stuff among the top 10 most watched films on the world’sbest streaming servicetoo, although afterExtractionthings are still pretty dark.
