The number one most-watched English-language movie on Netflix this week is something of a surprise, considering it's a new Netflix movie up against films that have had a lot more noise and promotion around them. It's a twisty thriller called Locked In, and it's beaten out the likes of Netflix's Pain Hustlers (starring Emily Blunt and Chris Evans) and critical smash Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (in the US, that is), which also debuted last week.
It's a psychological thriller about a woman, Katherine (Famke Janssen, of X-Men and GoldenEye fame), who wakes up after a car accident with locked-in syndrome, meaning she's awake but can't move any part of her body except her eyes. Her nurse (played by Anna Friel of Pushing Daisies) works out a way to communicate with Katherine, and discovers a world of murder and cruelty as the events leading up to Katherine's injuries unfold.
