Film junkies have been warned about a horror movie so 'gruesome' it has Netflix subscribers 'covering their eyes'.
While spooky season may still be a few months away, there's an awful lot of horror film and TV shows to watch right now.
For example, a terrifying new shark movie dubbed a '10/10' is the current talk of the town.
That's not the only horror movie on many people's lips though, with another Netflix film being raved about on social media.

In LADbible's Netflix Bangers Facebook group, one person posted: "I read the title on Netflix but never expected the movie to be so gruesome. If you can stomach it, it's a good watch."
The post garnered a lot of attention on the popular group, with another user commenting: "I loved this one. Haven’t seen a good bloody horror for a while."
A second added: "Really good movie! Kinda cheesy start but good movie," while a third remarked: "Reminded me of Friday 13th…eishh, closed my eyes too many times."
The flick everyone is discussing in this thread is the 2023 horror Thanksgiving - a film directed by Eli Roth and produced by Roger Birnbaum.
Based on Roth's mock trailer of the same name from his, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s 2007 horror Grindhouse, the movie stars Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey and TikTok personality Addison Rae.
The rest of the cast is pretty stellar too, as it includes: Milo Manheim, Nell Verlaque, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Dempsey, Rick Hoffman, Gina Gershon, Chris Sandiford, Tim Dillon, and Tomaso Sanelli.
An official synopsis for the movie reads: "A mysterious masked maniac terrorises residents of Plymouth, Massachusetts, one year after a Black Friday riot ended in tragedy. Picking off victims one by one, the seemingly random revenge killings soon become part of a larger, sinister plan."
Upon its release last year, Thanksgiving reviewed extremely well, and sits at an impressive 84 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes to this day.
Esther Zuckerman, from GQ, wrote: "It all concludes in a denouement that implies that Roth isn't done with the holiday forever—and, hey, if a sequel comes along, I'd be down for seconds."
Meanwhile, Empire Magazine's James White penned: "The ingredients are absolutely familiar, but what makes the whole recipe satisfying is the sheer amount of gruesome fun Roth manages to have with the concept."
Thanksgiving is available to stream on Netflix now.
