Fans Are Calling The Number One Horror Movie On Netflix “Oscar-worthy”

After coming in second on the Netflix charts last week, The Pale Blue Eye has claimed the throne and is the current reigning number 1 movie in the United States. The Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson led period piece hit Netflix last week, and people have been hitting play ever since.

In the film, a world-weary detective is hired to discreetly investigate the gruesome murder of a cadet. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, he enlists one of their own to help unravel the case — a young man the world would come to know as Edgar Allan Poe.

The Pale Blue Eye is based on the novel by Louis Bayard. The film is written and directed by Scott Cooper. It stars Christian Bale, Harry Melling, Lucy Boynton, and Gillian Anderson.

Many people have taken to Twitter to praise the film’s aesthetics and share how shocked they are that Harry Melling (aka Dudley Dursley) is an adult who is holding his own in this cast.

We love to see a genre film taking the top spot (again) on Netflix. Especially knowing that it had to dethrone Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery to claim the crown. We are tipping our stylish period hats to The Pale Blue Eye crew for what was not a small feat.
