Trekking to the theater for the latest blockbuster is an easy decision thanks to the dozens of trailers splattered across our television sets, but how about the less-publicized offerings flying under the radar on a daily basis?
Take Netflix for example. They have thousands of movies, but don’t advertise everything available. That would be impossibly annoying. Even if you were to scroll through the recommended lists, the selections are not always all-encompassing. Many titles appear and eventually disappear from Netflix without ever being noticed by potential fans.
The goal of this article is to bring-to-light lesser known films similar to the current blockbusters in theaters.
Leading our maiden voyage is the new film, Unfriended, set to hit theaters on Friday, April 17th. It’s about six friends who each receive a video message from a friend who killed herself exactly one year ago (to the day) from when the mysterious message arrives. The young group think it’s a prank, but once their secrets are revealed, things instantly become terrifying. The realization hits them like a knife to the gut; there’s something sinister on the other end of the computer and it wants them all dead.
The takeaway here is that you never know who is on the other end of your social network, so tread carefully! If you’ve got a Netflix subscription and Unfriended sounds interesting, these five movie suggestions might be something you could watch right now.
As with any of our “Streaming on Netflix” listicles, take note of when we wrote this article. Streaming platforms add and remove content monthly and these titles may no longer be available.
