Netflix fans have found a new horror film that they simply can’t get enough, despite many branding it as 'sick and twisted'.
As Valentine's Day approaches, nothing sets the mood quite like a good horror film.
Getting all scared and cozy with your loved one as you become thankful you don’t live in a universe where our nightmares become a reality.
Well, if you're looking for something new to sink your teeth into, then look no further.

A member of the Netflix Bangers Facebook group has recommended the 2019 film Haunt, directed by Scott Beck.
The fan insisted while it has some questionable moments, it is more than worth your time.
The story is essentially about a group of friends who encounter an ‘extreme’ haunted house that feeds on their darkest fears.
Things seem to only get worse and turn deadly as the group realizes that some nightmares are real.
"Me and my partner watched this last night. If anyone’s looking for anything watch that will keep you on your toes," one viewer wrote.
"We actually really enjoyed it! There was a few parts of the movie we were like ‘what the hell.. whyyyy?’ but other than that we can’t complain."
“I found this movie like a year ago or something like that and I remember being like completely amazed I found it cuz I was having trouble finding decent horror movies and this hit the spot,” another commented.
“After watching this last night I will never go to any of those scary places ever again on Halloween,” someone else added.
"I really enjoyed this film. Love the sick and twisted storyline," a third wrote.
“Yeah watched it too about Halloween night in a haunted mansion, gruesome in places not for the faint hearted,” a fourth fan added.
Despite the recommendation, some have rubbished the movie and the reviews of the flick are a mixed bag.
“Was ok got a bit bored to be honest like something a bit more gritty on the edge of your seat stuff,” another person in the Facebook group commented.
“Just watched it, felt like a low budget movie to me; thumbs down from me,” one disappointed viewer said.
On IMDB, the film maintains a 6.3 out of 10 after over 36,000 reviews, so not too bad.
It does fair better on Rotten Tomatoes though, as it has 70 percent on the tomatometer and a 100 percent audience score, although it has less than 50 verified ratings.
So, might be worth watching and deciding yourself whether it's worth your time or not!
