New on Netflix is a weekly feature here at Wicked Horror where we take a look at the latest additions to everyone’s favorite streaming service. It can be tough sifting through all those horror titles, not really knowing what’s worth watching and what isn’t. Sometimes, you know exactly what you’re looking for, but when you go to watch it the title has already been taken down. Here, we do our best to let you know what’s been added and re-added from week to week.
As always, the beginning of the month hits us with a lot of strong material, with some current favorites and old classics alike. Admittedly, things have been lacking of late, with very few new additions at all this month after the bizarre choice to take down almost fifty percent of the horror selection the day before October began.
The selection is beefing back up, though, slowly but surely. Hopefully that will keep up as we move toward that time of the year.
So kick back, relax, and make some popcorn while we bring you what’s new on Netflix for the week of July 14th, 2017.
Taking Lives
This oft-forgotten thriller from the mid-2000s is a weird mix of Seven and Catch Me If You Can. It focuses on a serial killer who impersonates his victims and takes over their identities as he moves from place to place. Angelina Jolie stars as an FBI agent, doing her best Clarice Starling, while Ethan Hawke plays a key witness—and romantic interest, of course.
