Viewers had to turn off new Netflix movie after just three minutes due to petrifying opening scene
Viewers are flocking to social media petrified over a recent Netflix release.
If you hadn't been left horrified enough by a disaster film, which recently came onto the streaming service, and wanted to be so terrified you actually have to turn off the movie within two minutes of watching, then Netflix has you covered.
Written and directed by John Lee Hancock, the psychological crime thriller opens with a girl being followed by a car on the highway - you'll have to give it a watch yourself to see why it's left viewers quite so scared.

The story then goes on to focus on Deputy Sheriff Joe 'Deke' Deacon and lead detective James 'Jimmy' Baxter's investigations into two murders. The pair are trying to track down a serial killer who's continuing to strike in Los Angeles, alongside other women being followed by vehicles, interjected with moments from Deke's own past all leading to a spine-tingling unravelling of events and discovery of the truth.
The film stars Man on Fire's Denzel Washington as Deacon and Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek as Baxter, alongside Jared Leto as Albert Sparma and Dead to Me's Natalie Morales as Detective Jamie Estrada.
Despite a pretty meagre audience score of 67 percent and sombre tomatometer score of 45 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has seen an influx in reviews since coming onto Netflix. Prepare to bite your nails in anticipation:
