Fans of the thriller genre are flocking to a very interesting title on Netflix. It looks like an underrated flick from 1997 is managing to climb its way to the top of Netflix’s charts.
As for why this particular entry is receiving so much attention nearly three decades after its original release, it could do with the fact that it is a genuinely solid movie. In fact, the cast includes the likes of Morgan Freeman, Alex McArthur, and even Cary Elwes among many other notable names.
The movie has currently found its way into the streaming service’s Top 10 list. At this time, it’s holding the number 3 place, which is quite impressive considering the titles that it’s found itself competing with.
For those eager to see the movie for themselves, it’s none other than Kiss the Girls. The movie was based on the 1995 novel of the same name by James Patterson, with Gary Fleder having directed the adaptation. It revolves around a forensic psychologist that helps a kidnap victim hunt down a serial killer that tries to break strong-willed women.
It’s a twisted plot, one that reveals more than one killer may be involved, and even paved the way for a sequel. Obviously the film was a box office success at the time of its release, but it also received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. Nevertheless, the underrated thriller has managed to find an audience, and it’s clear that the desire to watch this 1997 film is still going strong in 2024.
