Netflix thriller I See You has scared some fans to the point that they’ve been forced to switch off and try to watch it again one evening.
The relatively obscure 2019 movie starring Helen Hunt recently rose to the top of the streaming giant’s charts, with fans on the edge of their seats when they first tuned in.
The film follows a small town detective who takes on the case of a missing boy. But things take a sinister turn when he discovers an “evil presence” in his own home.
And the film’s eerie twists and turns have unsurprisingly disturbed viewers, commenting that they “wouldn’t be able to sleep.”
While others labeled it “disturbing,” “confused,” and full of “old-fashioned creepiness.”
