A new horror movie on Netflix has left some viewers ‘scarred for life’ with loads more warning people against watching it… so yeah I’m definitely going to watch it.
The trailer gives mad ‘Get Out’ vibes and the story seems to be relatively similar. It follows “a light-skinned Black woman whose meticulously crafted life of privilege starts to unravel when two strangers show up in her quaint suburban town,” the movie’s description states.
Anyway, to the matter of people fruitlessly advising others not to watch it.
“If you’re trying to sleep well tonight, don’t watch ‘The Strays’ right before bed,” said one person online, as if my sleep schedule wasn’t already in the dumps sweetie.
“Just finished watching ‘The Strays’ on Netflix and I think I’m scarred for life because what the hell did I just watch!” another wrote. I reckon if I can take watching my drunk Snapchat stories, no movie will come close to ‘scarring’ my existence.
Other reviews have made the movie sound just as enticing, but for a completely different reason.
From what I can gather having not watched it, the ending is meant to be some wild scene, but a lot of people are saying the end result is more hilarious than it is jarring.
“I’m sure the ending of ‘The Strays’ wasn’t supposed to be funny, but we literally burst out laughing,” one person wrote on Twitter.
“I thought it was going to be some Passing/Get Out mash-up, but it's so much more twisted lmao,” another added. “I dunno if I would say it was a *good* movie, but it was definitely entertaining.”
“Just finished 'The Strays' on Netflix and immediately came to Twitter bc what the hell did I just witness,” one more Twitter user said.
So, it’s a movie that’s supposedly going to lowkey traumatise but have me cackling at the end, sign me up.
