The Netflix top 10 list is no stranger to bad movies. In fact, I’m regularly surprised by how many skippable flicks manage to find their way into the streaming service’s rotating ranking of its most-watched movies. But even with that said, I still can’t quite believe “Afraid” has managed to earn itself a spot in the current Netflix top 10.
As of Tuesday, December 3, this AI-themed sci-fi horror ranks at No. 7, and it’s got me despairing for humanity (or at least, despairing for the Netflix subscriber base). I was unfortunate enough to see this Chris Weitz-directed movie in theaters over the summer, and it’s one of the worst movies I’ve seen all year. And for the record, I've seen more than 100 movies on the big screen in 2024, and it ranks second from bottom (only above “Megalopolis”).
