Brightburn (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
James Gunn ('Guardians of the Galaxy') is the producer responsible for this new hybrid of horror and science fiction. The premise of 'Brightburn' is, in simplistic terms, as follows: what would happen if Superman had grown up in darkness? Here, director David Yarovesky offers something interesting that ranges from conventional drama to more powerful horror. There is violence and blood, but also a metaphor about the traumatic passage to adolescence, although this psychological exploration is diluted in the second half of the movie.

Our suggestions
What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? With Brightburn, the visionary filmmaker of Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.

Nightbooks
During the 1980s and 1990s, cinema saw an explosion of young (and even children's, in some cases) stories that mix fantasy elements with horror. 'The Witches' Convention' is one of the most remembered films, but there's still 'Hocus Pocus', 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and even 'Beetlejuice: The Ghosts Have Fun'. And Netflix seems determined to revive this tradition in the 2020s. One example is the friendly 'Nightbooks'. The feature film follows an obsessed boy with scary stories who ends up trapped in his apartment by a young evil witch. From there, director David Yarovesky ('Brightburn', 'The Hive') mixes 'Home Alone' with 'The Witches' Convention' to show this boy trying to escape the clutches of evil.
Thriller
Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga
An exclusive Indian thriller on Netflix in which a flight attendant and her boyfriend, deep in debt, decide to steal some valuable diamonds aboard a plane. What could go wrong? Everything, when they discover that a gang of kidnappers is also on board with their own agenda. Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is somewhat predictable, and its beginning is a bit slow. However, it fully embraces the absurdity and tension of its premise once the protagonists' plan goes wrong. It's not an essential movie, but it is very entertaining.
