Netflix Officially Revives 11-Year-Old Zombie Thriller

Collider · 3 hours ago

Netflix's latest weekly viewership report shows a surprise resurgence for a decade-old zombie thriller, continuing the streamer's recent pattern of overlooked films suddenly finding new audiences. The film in question, released in 2015 and starring Lost actor Matthew Fox, took just $2 million at the box office against an $8 million budget on its original release, but has now climbed to third place on Netflix's global top 10 for the week of 10–16 August.

The top spot for that week went to The Last House, a Louis Leterrier-directed sci-fi thriller starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura, which has racked up more than 60 million views in a fortnight despite a poor 21% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. The comedy-drama Don't Say Good Luck, starring Melanie Lynskey and Sunny Sandler, debuted at number two. The article notes this fits a wider trend of older, underrated titles gaining traction on Netflix in recent weeks, including Old Henry, Ordinary Angels and In the Land of Saints and Sinners.
