We might be months away from spooky season, but that doesn't mean you can't get stuck in to a good horror movie, does it? Especially when you've only got a few days left to watch one flick that's been rated as '10/10'.
Netflix has warned fans of horror and mystery that a hugely popular 2018 movie is set to leave the streaming service this month, so you need to schedule in a movie night while you've still got the chance.
Starring The Sixth Sense actor Toni Collette alongside Alex Wolff and Milly Shapiro, the movie follows a grief-stricken family attempting to cope with the loss of a loved one when suddenly strange things start occurring around them.
Before long, the horrifying truth about the ancestry of Collette's character, Annie, comes to light, and there's nowhere left to run.

The movie is a firm favorite among many horror fans, but Netflix has confirmed that it will be leaving the streaming service on April 15, meaning there's only a few days left to watch the flick for free via your Netflix subscription.
Following its release in 2018, the movie, titled Hereditary, went on to earn a high rating of 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, with many viewers offering up a five-star rating.
One commented: "This is one of the most surreal movies I have ever seen. Not only was it incredibly intense and horrific, but I also found myself really feeling for the characters and invested in their stories. This is one of the best horror movies I've ever watched, I highly recommend it for horror fans!"
Another viewer wrote: "A very scary take on the modern horror genre. Some disturbing scenes and imagery, with a solid plot that unveils as you make your way to the chilling ending."
Collette previously spoke about her work on the movie in a 2018 interview with Vulture, in which she described it as a 'honest, natural portrayal about a family experiencing a lot of pain, and how it changes them'.
The actor went on to admit that making Hereditary wasn't all smooth sailing, saying: "It’s one of the jobs where you get to go to work and roll around in ideas of grief and resentment and rage and all of these extremes in life, and we were dabbling in that area for weeks on end.
"There was no easy moment in this movie. In my very first week, I was shooting 14-take scenes, talking about great loss and difficulty in relating to my family."
That being said, she added: "I f**king loved it."
Hereditary is available to stream on Netflix now.
