Netflix has pulled the most brutal film of the last 10 years
Every month, Netflix removes a large selection of movies and TV shows from its library.
These titles often feel as if they’re taken down without warning; the service only informs you when you scroll through its library and select something that happens to be leaving in the next 30 days.
In recent years, Netflix Originals have also found themselves on the departure list – something that has led to plenty of consternation among users who believed these titles would remain on the service for good.
Among the films leaving this service this month are the Final Destination and Hunger Games films as well as 2018 film The Nightingale.
The psychological thriller, from The Babadook director Jennifer Kent, is a tough watch that isn’t for the faint hearted.
Set in 1825, The Nightingale follows a young Irish convict (Aisling Franciosi) who seeks vengeance against members of the Colonial forces of Tasmania after unspeakable acts are committed against her.
It could very well be the most brutal film of the last 10 years – and led to cinema walkouts due to its graphic portrayal of rape and murder.
Kent defended her film after reports of complaints, saying she doesn’t believe the violence to be “gratuitous or exploitative”.
Meanwhile, the TV show that will leave the biggest absence after its Netflix departure is US drama Lost.
Beginning in 2004, Lost – which followed survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 – became the biggest cult show on the planet, generating intense fan discussion and theories on the internet throughout its six seasons on air.
The show is regularly listed on polls ranking the best TV shows of all time, with Empire. EW, Time and Variety all opting to include Lost.
Lost celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2024 and has recently had a resurgence thanks to its arrival on Netflix.
