There’s that many films on Netflix by this point you end up losing track of that thing you so desperately wanted to watch a few months ago.

And within that ever-growing mound of movies and TV shows to flick through is a ‘hidden’ Netflix horror that’s apparently leaving viewers ‘physically injured’.

Told through found footage, it’s a flick that a lot of people haven’t even managed to make it to the end of because it’s just that creepy.

Becoming the highest grossing Taiwanese film of all time in its genre, the film was launched on Netflix back in 2022.

Yet while it received rave reviews and a whole lot of streams, people were left unnerved after feeling they’d been ‘scared to death’.

Incantation is inspired by a true story and follows Li Ronan, who was cursed six years ago ‘after breaking a religious taboo’.

Now, the woman must ‘protect her daughter from the consequences of her actions’ as she faces the fight of her life to keep her from evil spirits.

You can watch the trailer here:

It’s based on a real-life incident of mass hysteria when a family of six in Taiwan claimed back in 2005 that they’d all been possessed by various Chinese folk deities.

The brood then ended up brutally attacking each other – including chucking faeces and urine at one another as well as burning and hitting – in hopes of beating the ‘demons’ out of them.

And with the Kevin Ko directed film having such popularity for those looking to be scares sh**less, a TikToker even dared others to try and watch without skipping a scene.

Users said they ended up getting jump scared ‘so hard’ that they dropped cracked their phone.

And actually ending up injuring themselves, another said: “Brilliant film and very creepy, made me smash my vape on my lip in one scene!”

Plenty admitted they didn’t sleep after watching as others said they ‘actually screamed’.

Incantation has a bit of a mixed rating on Rotten Tomatoes, getting 75 percent on the Tomatometer, but an average 62 percent for an audience score.

One wrote that it’s ‘intensely scary’ as they had ‘never felt so immersed into a horror movie before’.

However, another found it ‘so confusing’ and couldn’t ‘understand anything’ with some finding it ‘predictable’ and ‘generic’.

But many really do agree it’s ‘the best horror movie’ as one simply said: “One of the scariest movies I have ever seen – and I’ve seen them all.”

Incantation is available for streaming on Netflix.
