Netflix viewers are left terrified by new film Soft & Quiet as they brand it an emotional rollercoaster: ‘It’s literally the only movie I’ve rented and refused to finish’

Horror movie fans are finding themselves unable to get to the end of Soft & Quiet because of its terrifying plot.

The terrifying movie, which was originally released in 2022, arrived on Netflix this month.

Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, it has been described as ‘intense’ and ‘daring’.

The twisting plot, starring Stefanie Estes, Olivia Luccardi, Eleaonore Pienta, and Dana Millican, follows an elementary school teacher who organized a mixer for white supremacist women.

However, a terrifying chain of events is unleashed when a mysterious person from her past re-enters her life.

Soft & Quiet was originally released in 2022 but arrived on Netflix this month.

De Araújo has described the work as a ‘timely American nightmare’ – and it’s left terrified viewers sharing their thoughts on the film on social media.

One posted: ‘It’s literally the only movie I have rented and then refused to finish. It’s also the only movie I want to send to hell in the express lane.’

‘We turned on soft&quiet and I did not think this movie was gonna be like this…I’m highly disturbed.’

Another recommended the watch, writing: ‘Soft & Quiet is on Netflix today, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

‘An incredibly daring film in both form and content, writer/director Beth de Araújo conceived of this real world horror story as a real time oner and knocks it out of the park.’

One viewer wanted to send the movie to ‘hell in the express lane’ 

Another was more complimentary labelling it ‘daring’ in ‘both form and content’ 

The latest scare comes after Netflix hosted the French horror series Marianne, that left viewers ‘scared for their lives’.

Originally released in 2019, the petrifying series follows a fictional famous horror writer named Emma who returns to her hometown, only to realize the demons she dreamt of as a child are now terrorizing the real world.

One viewer was left in such a state they had to take their pet to the toilet with them: ‘Marianne on Netflix is so freaking scary. Like I have to take Tinkerbell to the bathroom with me scary. For reals.’

Another wrote: ‘Just finished watching Marianne on Netflix and it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever watched in my whole f**king life.’

The series gained international popularity upon release but the show’s creator said there wasn’t a big enough fan base to pursue a second season.
