KPop Demon Hunters Loses Top Streaming Spot to “Truly Horrific” New Netflix Movie

by

The K-Pop Demon Hunters continue to dominate streaming platforms and music charts, and their success on Netflix’s top movies list is particularly noteworthy given their prolonged availability. Despite Golden being a constant in many speakers, the throne of Netflix’s top movies has now been taken by K-Pop Demon Hunters, an achievement that was perhaps expected but still surprising due to the movie’s frightening theme.

Based on TUDUM’s Top 10 movies, “Unknown Number: The High School Catfish” leads with an astounding 26.3 million views. However, KPop enthusiasts need not despair as “Demon Hunters” is close behind with 25.4 million views, suggesting that it could potentially reclaim the top spot in the future. The remaining top 5 consists of “The Thursday Murder Club” (18.7 million), “The Woman King” (4 million), and the original “Shrek” (3.6 million).

Why Unknown Number: The High School Catfish Is So Horrifying

Why is the documentary film Unknown Number: The High School Catfish generating such buzz? That’s because it’s based on a real-life cyberbullying incident in Beal City, Michigan, which occurred in October 2020. The film centers around 13-year-old Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend at the time, Owen, who were subjected to harassing texts from an unknown number for about 15 months. These messages contained threats and insults. Eventually, authorities got involved, and their investigation uncovered a surprising twist. Please note that there are spoilers ahead in the film, so be cautious.

The authenticity of these occurrences and the profound impact they had on all those entangled in them account for why the movie has touched so many, with the climactic revelation of the truth being a particularly powerful moment. On Reddit, user No-Introduction 1309 described the film as “Astonishingly harrowing,” further expressing suspicions harbored by some individuals involved in the probe.

Able-Coffee3405 expressed excitement by saying, “I’ve just completed it! I’m still picking up my jaw from the floor.” Bubbasnub commended the ex-husband for taking decisive action after learning the truth, writing, “Although we’re rightfully criticizing Kendra, let’s give credit to her ex-husband who, upon hearing the news, immediately said, ‘You need to leave. I’m not sure who you’ll contact next, but you won’t be staying here any longer.’ I appreciate his swift and mature response. Lauren seems stunned and, given her high school age, is still struggling to fully grasp the gravity of her mother’s actions.

AnotherDarnDay expressed, “It seems like she found the situation quite perplexing. Indeed, I found myself utterly amazed throughout.
