Nearly a decade after the streaming explosion, Netflix continues to be the world’s leading video-on-demand platform. A privileged condition that, in the same way, also represents a risk and a responsibility for the brand, since it must often take controversial decisions to continue to occupy the highest place on the podium. Some of them have become almost a standard in the market. For example, the introduction of advertising or the removal of the multi-account system. But even this did not prevent the company headed by Dan Lin continues to be the leading reference in the field of the most varied entertainment on the small screen. Our recommendation of the day is therefore the result of this diversity of genres. A title that is pure terror and with which you will not be able to get out of your seat for its almost two hours of duration.
It’s no wonder the horror genre is doing so well lately on “The Big Red N.” Although in reality, it’s more of a general trend in the celluloid world. The variety with which creativity takes over and reinventing itself within the typology is beyond the reach of other narratives of the commercial cinema. To the point that one could say that these films are the last bastion of the original screenplay, in the middle of a Hollywood where proliferate restartsequels and prequels franchises. In this way and whether or not it is a slasherFolk horror or psychological thriller, almost all subgenres have shone in the last decade thanks to the great inventiveness of labels like Blumhouse, Neon or A24. Now it’s Netflix’s turn and one last proposal that is pure terror: The liberation. But… what is this story about supernatural elements and haunted houses?
“Liberation”: A Portal to the Afterlife
The liberation puts us in the shoes of the jackson familywho have just moved into a new home to start over. This mother and her four children seem They found a quiet place live, but what should be a change for the better ends up being a nightmare when they start to witness paranormal phenomena ghostly apparitions that seriously endanger their lives and those of the new neighborhood. The new house seems to be a kind of portal to hell.
The ability to attract the audience comes from the filmmaker responsible for presenting this film to us. not suitable for people with heart problems. Lee Daniels, Oscar nominee for Precious In 2010, he directed his first horror film. The American director had not directed anything since its premiere in 2021 USA vs. Billy Holiday. Daniels’ career has gone from strength to strength, being a rather irregular filmmaker. Above all, the two titles that stand out the most in his filmography outside of Precious are The Newspaper Boy And The Butler. Because Daniels may not be the best filmmaker of his generation, but generally speaking, he has proven himself to be a great director of actors who has known how to get the most out of your artists. Something that also partly allows The Liberation.

The real story is pure horror
Behind this story of pure terror lies the true story of Latoya Ammons and her familywho moved into what at first seemed like a normal house in 2011. But soon after they moved in, there were fly infestations in the winter, noises in the cellar and levitations above the children’s beds. As expected, the place was investigated by the police, social services and various doctors. No one has found a rational explanation for everything they experienced there and a psychic even explained to the mother that in this house there were at least some 200 demonsThe family eventually moved far away.
