Netflix subscribers are all saying the same thing after watching a newly added psychological horror film starring Game of Thrones' Kit Harington.
The film, which was first released in 2022, stars Harington alongside Noemie Merland as expectant parents whose world quickly gets turned upside down.
Called Baby Ruby, it follows lifestyle influencer Jo (Merland) as she gives birth to her baby girl Ruby.

Without giving too much away, things quickly get weird for Jo as she and partner Spencer (Harington) go on the journey of being new parents - and all the hardships that can come with that.

For Jo, her world starts to crumble around her, with the mum hallucinating and acting aggressive towards Spencer and others.
She joins a local mum group through new friend Shelly (Meredith Hagner), but is left weirded out after Shelly refuses to show her her own baby.

Jo's mental state spirals as she starts to think the world and everyone in it is against her and trying to harm her baby.
Those who have sat down to watch the film since it was added to Netflix this week have taken to social media to give their thoughts on the movie.
Aside from what they thought of the plot or the acting, there was a general theme among a lot of commentary - and that centred around the volume you should be watching it at.

The advice was given as a result of what you can expect of a film about a newborn baby: crying.
Over on Facebook, one viewer said: "What an absolute mess of a film. If you want a 90 minute soundtrack of a baby crying then it's fine."
And on X (formerly Twitter), another posted: "Watching Baby Ruby and that crying baby made me turn my TV down. I can’t take it lol."
A third wrote: "Even though the acting was good, the movie was not. The constant crying from the baby was beyond annoying and the story just made little sense. The ending was completely out of the blue and in the middle of the story as well."

And a fourth added: "My wife decided to rent and watch Baby Ruby. The last thing I want to do is hear a crying baby.
"I retreated to the bedroom and put earplugs in."
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, Baby Ruby scores 67 percent with critics. Sadly for those involved in its creation, it only gets 28 percent with audience reviews.

One critic wrote: "While the story is the epitome of a waking fever dream, it never becomes a gloomy slog. Instead, it’s imbued with a playful and inventive campiness that is emblematic of the absurdly torturous realities of parenthood."
A second added: "A disorienting psychological horror-thriller that perfectly captures maternal fears and mental battles new parents can face."
Baby Ruby can be streamed on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
