Rejoice Netflix Horror fans, as the platform has just added some of the creepiest films possible, all with mind-blowing twists.
They’ve added four films from one of the most iconic scary film franchises around, and it will take you roundabout five hours to watch them all.
Those five hours will be full of twists, scares, and some of the most gruesome and grim horror kills around, which will have you terrified doing the most basic of tasks.

The film franchise in question is Final Destination, with Final Destination 1, 2, 3, and 5 being added to Netflix.
Why the fourth hasn’t been added I will never know... clearly someone at Netflix has a least favourite in the franchise.
For fans of the series though, they’ll know that the films are creepy as f*ck, with some of the deaths leaving fans terrified of doing certain things for years.

Whether it be logs coming loose off the back of a truck, being hit by a bus, or being burnt to a crisp in a tanning machine, it is full of horrible deaths happening as if by accident.
The franchise is terrifying, but does so without one specific antagonist. Well, not a physical one.
There’s no Jason, no Freddie, just the literal metaphysical force of Death.

Each of the films feature one person getting a premonition that they are all going to die.
The group then escape their expected death, before they all begin dying in bizarre ways, with Death fighting back at them escaping her grasp.
Whilst all of the films are full of twists, there is one in particular that stands out.
Don’t worry I won’t spoil it for you here.

All I will say is that Final Destination 5 is one of the best of the franchise and the twist hits home one of the biggest themes of the franchise.
No one is ever safe in one of these films, you never know what’s going to happen next, and no matter how predictable you think these films are, they will find a way to keep you guessing.
Anton Bitel, writing for Little White Lies, said of the fifth film in the franchise: “[Director Peter] Quale knows exactly how to toy with the expectations of his victims (and his viewers) before bringing down the fatal blow from an angle that no-one quite saw coming”.

Lisa Schwarzbaum, writing for Entertainment Weekly, said of the film: “Under the direction of James Cameron protegé Steven Quayle, the visual effects from Ariel Velasco Shaw (who has crafted mayhem on everything from 300 to Freddy vs. Jason) ensure that no industrial hook through a skull is left unimagined.”
For horror sickos out there one thing is certain. You should be running to watch these films tonight…. But make sure you’re careful when you’re running.
