Movies April, 18, 2025

The audience has remarkably praised a movie named The Women King. The actress named Viola Davis recently made her streaming debut on Netflix. Not just that but Netflix also added an astonishing Korean thriller and a Japanese horror movie to its list. Therefore from all the choices one can check out movies that are worth it for one to give one’s time.

Movie lovers are heaving praise for the movie named The Women King. It has made its mark with the award-winning actress named Viola Davis on the board. She has also made her streaming debut on Netflix with it. Apart from that one can also check out a bunch of options available on Netflix.

Time is money. Therefore to save that precious time one can select movies based on audience reviews and IMDb ratings. Netflix has many movies on board. The list includes stars like The Women King an excellent Korean thriller and a Japanese horror movie.

The Women King is a must-watch movie. The snub from Oscar could not stop this movie from getting a bunch of accolades. If one wanted to involve himself/herself in the Academy Awards discussion watching this movie is a must.

A new thriller Korean release named Unlocked is another popular movie (released on 17 February). This movie is also a celebrated movie on Netflix.

Therefore the must-watch list starts with The Women King. This movie is a historical action drama based on the true story of Agojie (Amazon warriors known for defending the West African kingdom of Dahomey in the 17th and 18th centuries). General Nanisca (Davis) has to train recruits to protect the all-female clan from the lurking threat. Gina Prince-Bythewood directed this iconic movie.

A Korean thriller named ‘Unlocked’ also saved its place in must-watch movies on Netflix. It is a fast pace movie and a perfect selection for the weekend evening. It goes a long way to nudge one to put one’s other engagements aside.

In this movie there is a career-oriented girl named Lee Na-mi (Chun Woo-hee). One day her phone gets stolen. An out-of-mind person snaps and tampers with it. He installs spyware on the phone and returns it to Na-mi. After that he starts spying on her tail.

Apart from that another movie named Ouija: Origin of Evil makes its way to the must-watch list. No one expected the follow-up of the movie Ouija (2014) would take a turn like this. There is no story continuation between Ouija and Origin of evil.

Not just that the horror veteran Mike Flanagan directed it. His works include Doctor Sleep Haunting of Hill House and Oculus. Therefore we expect nothing less from him. No second thought arises why this movie is way better than its predecessor. This movie follows a widowed mother (Elizabeth Reaser) who invites real evil into her home.

One can skip the movie named Re/Member. This movie is based on a popular Japanese manga series called Karada Sagashi. There exist other horror movies better than this on Netflix. This movie is way too on the line and boring.

Another movie one can skip is Ouija (2014). This movie's leading actress is House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke. In this movie her best friend (Shelley Hennig) dies. Therefore Laine (Cooke) finds an Ouija board and uses it to contact her best friend. However she meets with a horrifying entity named DZ.
