Published

It’s almost hard to believe, given how much streaming dominates the conversation, but Netflix’s shipped-to-your-house disc service is actually still alive and well here in 2018. Yes, the company is still sending out those red envelopes with discs inside, and their rental offerings naturally differ greatly from what Netflix offers on their streaming service.

In any event, Netflix just revealed their 13 most frequently rented horror movies over the years, offering up the Halloween-appropriate list over on the Netflix blog this week.

“Which scary movies have DVD Netflix members rented most over the years? Here are the top 13! Perhaps you’ll find a new horror flick to add to your queue for a Halloween movie night.”

  • 13. The Rite
  • 12. Paranormal Activity
  • 11. 28 Weeks Later
  • 10. The Haunting in Connecticut
  • 9. Shaun of the Dead
  • 8. Drag Me to Hell
  • 7. The Last House on the Left (2009)
  • 6. The Crazies (2010)
  • 5. Daybreakers
  • 4. Red Riding Hood
  • 3. Zombieland
  • 2. The Wolfman (2010)
  • 1. Cloverfield

In particular, we’re pretty surprised to see the 2010 version of The Wolfman ranking so high, as the film’s box office failure spelled the end of dark, scary Universal monster movies. Go figure!

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
