The streaming era may have sparked a revolution in the paradigm of audiovisual consumption. But the apparent number of weekly releases and the need to constantly update catalogs has also meant little control over the entertainment hardware we think we own. Because the feeling of seeing a film no longer appear among the contents of your favorite video-on-demand platform is a feeling shared by all subscribers, which is not notified to the public in the same way as for new releases. So today we are taking advantage of the last part of the week to warn elimination on Netflix three masterpieces of horror cinema that soon, they will say goodbye to the range of fiction from the company founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph.
This month of November, the Californian company announced the premiere of several series and feature films. Among them, of course, the first part of the last season of Cobra KaiThe Piano Lesson and the Miniseries Madness. However, like its main competitors, Netflix doesn’t give as much information about how many films it will remove from its narrative collection of stories. Clear examples of this are the imminent disappearance of the iconic The hours And Shark. Both Meryl Streep’s cult film and Steven Spielberg’s immortal adventure will leave the company led by Ted Sarandos on November 15. And next to them, The Magic Nanny, welcome to the south, Disturbance, 8 miles And the great wall They will do the same in the coming hours. Nevertheless, the great tragedy for the fans of horror is accompanied by farewells to the three masterpieces of contemporary cinema that major cancels its contents.
Farewell to three cinema masterpieces
“The Cabin in the Woods” (2012)
You may a priori, from its initial approach, believe that this is a film that you have seen countless times. But nothing could be further from the truth, The Cabin in the Woods is a terribly original and surprising story. Directed and co-written by Drew Goddardit is one of the first films in which we were able to discover Chris Hemsworth before the Australian became a world star for his role as Thor in Marvel. But of course, the script and Goddard’s good work showed over time that the man in charge of adapting the Hail Mary Project and the new Matrix opus, was an undeniable talent since his own first film.
In The Cabin in the Woods we find five university students who are preparing to spend the weekend in a house located on the edge of an isolated forest. In the basement, they find a strange collection of memorabilia, including an old journal that seems cursed. So far, everything seems a typical horror plot. But any resemblance to other stories of the genre is purely coincidental.
“Hereditary” (2018)
For many, it is The exorcist for new generations of moviegoers. The first film of Ari Aster These are, with The Witch by Robert Eggers, the precursor titles of the new wave of horror films that we are experiencing today.

After the death of the grandmother and matriarch of the family, her daughter Annie Graham He believes he can turn the page and start being happy. Unfortunately for her and those close to her, strange things start happening when the youngest of the family He begins to see ghostly figures. Without a doubt, one of the cinematic masterpieces that the cinema of the last decade has left us.
“Middle of Sleep” (2019)
By rehearsing with Aster at the controls, the A24 studio continues its whirlwind of High quality independent titles and at the same time, the filmmaker confirmed that what he had achieved with Hereditary It wasn’t a coincidence. It was here that we discovered that the figure of Florence Pugh had come to stay at the forefront of Hollywood acting.
Drinking in influences as classic as The Wicker Man, Midday presents us with a couple who, not having their best time, decide to go on a trip with friends to Middaya summer festival which celebrates every 90 years in a remote village in Sweden.
