Netflix has become a go-to service for horror fans, thanks to the success of Wednesday, Stranger Things, and the various series from Mike Flanagan. In addition to TV shows, it carries a ton of horror movies, but with such a surplus of content, it's hard to choose what to watch especially for someone looking for quality.

Netflix's current offer of horror films covers many different subgenres. From witches to evil scientists, Netflix has some of the best horror movies ever made. These options are great for those who are seeking a truly thrilling time. The only problem will be trying to sleep with the lights off after watching them.

In the first few minutes of his first Zoom casting call with actor Alex Wolff, Oystein Karlsen knew he had found his Leonard Cohen.

“He came on the screen like this,” the Norwegian director and screenwriter puts his hand over his face, with one eye poking out. “He said: ‘Sorry, I’m so hung over. I know I’m not going to get the role. I feel horrible.’ I thought: That’s Leonard!”

Karlsen already had his eye on Wolff to play the famously melancholic Canadian singer-songwriter in his new TV miniseries about Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, his great love, muse and the woman who inspired the song that gives the series its title: So Long, Marianne.

This article contains spoilers for 2018's MalevolentFlorence Pugh is having a moment. Although she made her film debut, alongside Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams, in 2014's The Falling, it was Pugh's breakout role in 2016's independent drama, Lady Macbeth, that garnered attention. She's been a rising star in Hollywood ever since, appearing in notable films like Little Women, Marvel's Black Widow, and Don't Worry Darling (though the latter was more famous for its behind-the-scenes controversy than the movie itself).

Pugh also starred in two of the biggest films of the last year: 2023's Oscar-buzzing Oppenheimer and 2024's universally acclaimed, science-fiction blockbuster, Dune: Part Two. Pugh has also dipped her toes in the horror genre. Yes, she starred in the folk horror, cult classic, Midsommar. But Florence Pugh also starred in another little horror gem, even before Midsommar, that most people have either forgotten about or never heard of: 2018's Malevolent.

Sanditon, an adaptation of Jane Austen's unfinished novel, has captured many hearts with its unique blend of Regency-era romance, drama, and picturesque settings, and there's a way to watch Sanditon season 3 online for free. The series is set in the fictitious titular seaside resort, and focuses on Sandition main character Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), a spirited young woman who finds herself exposed to the intrigues and dalliances of a society she is both intrigued by and wary of. The show, which lasted for three seasons,...

These past few months, PBS has teased Sanditon fans with a few short clips and still shots of what to expect from Season 3, but at last, with only a couple of weeks left before we return to the titular seaside resort, we now have our first full-length trailer for the third season. While Season 3 will be the show's last, the trailer promises it will be a fun rollercoaster ride laden with several twists with the return of Charlotte (Rose Williams) and her ex, Alexander (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) to town and Georgiana's (Crystal Clarke) continuous search for the one. The trailer also teases the introduction of new characters in Alexander's brother, Samuel (Liam Garriga) as well as the arrival of a new elite family.

Sanditon will come to an end with its third and final season next month as the PBS fan-favorite series eyes its return date. A show that ignited a passionate fanbase will begin its concluding chapter on Sunday, March 19 with the first episode of a six-episode season. The show will also stream on the same day. “Sanditon has been an incredibly special series for Masterpiece, and we know it has found its way into the hearts of countless fans,” said executive producer Susanne Simpson in a statement shared by PBS. “While we are sad to say goodbye to the series, we know our audience has a lot to look forward to in this new season.” (Credit: PBS Masterpiece) As teased in the preview, above, Austen heroine Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) returns to the titular seaside resort town with fellow returning characters Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), Tom Parker...

Masterpiece has released a trailer for the upcoming final season of Sanditon, the drama inspired by Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel, that was adapted and created by Andrew Davies and produced by Red Planet Pictures.

The series took on its own direction (Austen only finished 11 chapters before her death) and writer Justin Young took the helm as lead writer and executive producer for seasons 2 and 3. The drama will premiere on 9 p.m. Sunday, March 19, on PBS. The series also will be available to stream the same day.

Returning characters for Season 3 include Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), Tom Parker (Kris Marshall), Mary Parker (Kate Ashfield), Lady Denham (Anne Reid), Edward Denham (Jack Fox), Arthur Parker (Turlough Convery), Lady Susan (Sophie Winkleman), and Ralph Starling (Cai Brigden).

More new faces are joining the series, like Lady Montrose, who is the quintessential Austen mother. She arrives in Sanditon with one objective: matches for her children, Lydia and Henry. Lydia is an independent young woman who is not as eager for a match as her mother, while Lord Henry Montrose is charismatic and confident, but he holds a secret.

There’s also Rowleigh Pryce, a wealthy, curmudgeonly investor who is interested in teaming up with Tom Parker on the seaside resort’s expansion. Their plans become complicated when Rowleigh runs into Lady Denham. Also new to Sanditon is Alexander’s brother, Samuel Colbourne – a lawyer, and a charming bachelor.

Sanditon‘s third and final season is fast approaching, and PBS is offering ravenous fans an early peek at the Regency-era drama ahead of its March 19 return. In a photo shared by PBS affiliate, Wgte Public Media, a reunion between Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) and series heroine Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) appears to take place. The image was captioned, “here’s your first look at #Sanditon season 3 episode 1 the drama .” The side-eye emoji indicates that some serious tension is brewing between the characters after parting ways on uncertain terms in Season 2. As viewers will recall, Charlotte and Alexander had become romantically intertwined, but when he began sending mixed signals about what was appropriate between them as her employer, Charlotte decided to leave Sanditon and return to her family in the country. here’s your first look at #Sanditon season 3 episode 1 the drama #PBS #SanditonPBS #SanditonS3 #SanditonSisterhood pic.twitter.com/RfErQlD...

Masterpiece has released images from the upcoming season of its Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon.

Season 3 of the series will premiere in 2023 on PBS, and brings viewers back to the seaside resort town of Sanditon to follow the romances, friendships, and struggles of Charlotte, Georgiana and the Parker family. It stars Rose Williams as Charlotte Heywood, Cai Brigden as Ralph Starling, Ben Lloyd-Hughes as Alexander Colbourne, Edward Davis as Lord Montrose and Crystal Clarke as Georgiana Lambe.

The series is based on Austen’s final, unfinished novel and was developed by Andrew Davies.

Devoted fans have helped to keep the drama on the small screen. A campaign called the Sanditon Sisterhood was created after the series was canceled by original broadcaster ITV in 2019 after just one season. More than a year later, Sanditon was brought back to life for a second and third run by Masterpiece and ITV-owned streamer BritBox.

It has been a turbulent time for devoted fans of Sanditon, the lush period drama based on the unfinished manuscript by Jane Austen. The first season was a hit, but the show was unduly cancelled, and then suddenly revived, delighting fans and cast alike.

The second series of Sanditon based on Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel, picks up the action nine months after the first season, as the town grows in popularity, and features characters familiar and new.

This Sunday’s Call the Midwife started out like any other installment of the PBS drama.

Sister Hilda led the morning meeting for the midwives and noticed that Nurse Nancy seemed preoccupied with news of 1967’s Abortion Act.

She talked to Sister Julienne about it and the two came up with a plan to give Nurse Nancy more responsibilities.

In frilly YA frivol “The King’s Daughter,” Louis Xiv (an awkwardly bewigged Pierce Brosnan) orders a mermaid captured and brought back to Versailles, so that he might sacrifice the creature during a solar eclipse and attain eternal life, it takes just a few minutes for such an amazing feat to be accomplished. But haste is hardly the order of the day with this quasi-historic fairy tale, which follows that thrilling opening with royal balls and cross-country horseback rides, courtly intrigue and plentiful costume changes — a girly dream of the French monarchy, for which would-be audiences have been obliged to wait a quarter-century.

The well-liked book on which it’s based, Vonda N. McIntyre’s “The Moon and the Sun,” was published in 1997, and discussions began almost immediately about an adaptation. The film focuses largely on what happens after the mermaid reaches France, and the Sun King (played by Brosnan with...

Malevolent launches a month of Netflix & Chills in decently scary yet unspectacular fashion.

Director Olaf de Fleur Johannesson’s Malevolent is the first offering in what Netflix is referring to as its month of “Netflix & Chills.” October is one of the few months on the calendar that routinely gets its own theme, so strong is the siren call of Halloween and all the horror and spookiness it represents. Don’t even come at me with December the “holiday season.” Snow and general goodwill do not a holiday month make.

The desire to be scared is so strong that entertainment corporations are increasingly developing their whole October content calendar around it. Thank goodness they are, because while fear is something that the dopamine receptors in our brain craver, it is so, so, so, so hard for anything to satisfactorily fill that need.

Horror is hard. Creating a truly great horror movie is nigh impossible.

A team of ghost hunting scammers plan to “investigate” an old haunted orphanage in the upcoming Netflix horror film called Malevolent. They don’t really believe in ghosts and are just looking to make some money off pretending that the hauntings are real. What they don’t realize is that the orphanage really is haunted and they end up having a completely terrorizing experience!

I love a good horror film and it’s Halloween season so bring on the horror movies! This one looks like it will offer some fun thrills and chills! Here’s the synopsis for Malevolent:

Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists. Preying on the grief stricken and the vulnerable, they convince the bereaved that Angela has the ability to contact the dead. It’s a simple con, until Mrs. Green (Celia Imrie) summons the pair...

Malevolent Official Synopsis

Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists. Preying on the grief-stricken and the vulnerable, they convince the bereaved that Angela has the ability to contact the dead. It’s a simple con until Mrs. Green (Celia Imrie) summons...

"Angela, it's just a house..." Netflix has debuted the first trailer for an indie horror titled Malevolent, a new horror film by Icelandic filmmaker Olaf de Fleur Johannesson. The chilling thriller film is about a pair of fake paranormal investigators who suffer the ultimate reality check when confronted by the horrors that lie hidden within a haunted orphanage. But supernatural terrors are the least of their problems when they discover the very real evil lurking in the isolated house. Starring Florence Pugh and Ben Lloyd-Hughes, along with Celia Imrie, Scott Chambers, and Georgina Bevan. This starts out pretty mellow, but get intense fast and looks very freaky once they get into the house. The sound in this trailer is really unsettling as well. Quite an effectively creepy trailer, perfect to launch at the beginning of scary October. Take a look. Here's the first official trailer for Olaf de Fleur Johannesson's Malevolent,...

Netflix has released the first trailer for MaleVolent. This looks like one of the many movies that the streaming service has been developing that has sort of caught us off guard. Not only does this look like it could be a potentially fun way to kick off a month celebrated by horror lovers, but the movie arrives on Netflix in just a few days on October 5. Will this be a welcome early Halloween surprise for genre fans? Or is it merely a run of the mill horror flick that is getting dumped to a streaming service? Hard to say just yet, but the trailer packs quite the bloody punch.

Even taking some of the initially brutal imagery out of the equation, like a man getting his head absolutely caved in with a shovel, the whole wonky-sounding self-help tape that is playing in the background is unsettling all on its own.

Netflix has shared the new trailer for Malevolent, which will be making its premiere on the streaming service on October 5th.

"Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists. Preying on the grief stricken and the vulnerable, they convince the bereaved that Angela has the ability to contact the dead. It's a simple con, until Mrs. Green (Celia Imrie) summons the pair to her home -- the orphanage that was once stage to a string of murders of young girls -- and Angela grows less and less certain of what's actually real. The fake paranormal investigators suffer the ultimate reality check when they are confronted by the true horrors and terrifying past...

Netflix is really doubling (tripling? quadrupling?) their spooky content in preparation for Halloween, including a new horror film called Malevolent. Written by Ben Katai and Eva Konstantopoulos and directed by Olaf de Fleur, Malevolent stars Florence Pugh and Ben Lloyd-Hughes as a pair of siblings who con the grieving by making them believe they can contact the dead. But when they are invited to an old orphanage where brutal murders have taken place, they are confronted by something they didn't fake ... The trailer explains the con, and how the siblings are immediately challenged when taking on the this …...

Netflix has released the trailer for “Malevolent,” one of many horror offerings debuting on the streaming service during this most spooky of months. It has the benefit of starring Florence Pugh, who endeared herself to many with her role in “Lady Macbeth” and also stars in Netflix’s upcoming “Outlaw King,” as well as being directed by a dude with the implausibly cool name of Olaf de Fleur. Watch the trailer below…unless you’re scared.

Abandon all hope ye who read the synopsis: “Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists.

Live Boldly.

“You only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible,” says Will Traynor in Me Before You. His advice is directed at his effervescent yet seemingly settling caregiver Louisa “Lou” Clark, 26, who claims to be happy in the quaint English town in which they both grew up. But Will, only 31 himself, knows whereof he speaks…perhaps better than most.

“At its most basic, this is a story about the power of love and how it transforms you,” says director Thea Sharrock. “These are two characters who, but for their very different and difficult circumstances, should never have met…but here they are. And that’s where the fairytale begins.”

Based on the critically acclaimed, bestselling novel by Jojo Moyes, New Line Cinema’s and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ Me Before You stars Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) and Sam Claflin (“The Hunger Games...
