The Deliverance
At long last, we have a really great Netflix original movie at #1 in the Top 10 list, dethroning the former #1, a truly terrible Netflix original movie. That awful movie is the horror film The Deliverance, and that good movie is Rebel Ridge, which has now debuted at #1 and is being widely watched as we speak.
The Deliverance reviewed horribly, supposedly based on a “true” ghost story (which was debunked in multiple ways). It has a 32% from critics, who are generally predisposed to be pretty kind to many horror movies, and a 47% from audiences, not much better. Thankfully, it has been replaced by a film doing much better, Rebel Ridge, which unlike a similarly-named Netflix original, Rebel Moon, is reviewing excellently with a 94% critic score and an 82% audience score. Here is the official synopsis for the film:
Netflix Top 10
The film does not boast any truly major stars. It’s led by Aaron Pierre whose longest stint was on the Syfy show Krypton before this. The most recognizable name in the cast is Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame. I know who AnnaSophia Robb is, as I remember from roles when she was much younger like Race to Witch Mountain and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Now, somehow, she’s 30. Time flies.
It looks to be excellent and I will be giving it a watch this weekend. Frankly, I am a little surprised that the newly added Sonic the Hedgehog movie is at #3, given all the hype for the third movie with its trailer just released. I figured it would probably be #1, but not so. Emma Stone’s Aloha was up pretty high a few days ago but now it’s down to #5 as perhaps people realized that it’s actually terrible. Former #1, the also-bad Netflix Original The Union is down to #8. Super Mario Bros. still refuses to fall off the list at #10. Incredible.
