Two lovely belated Christmas presents.
We had already listed the 12 Hidden Gems you might have missed at the cinema, but wouldn’t you know, as a last minute pressie to help say goodbye to 2017, Netflix have only gone and added two of them to their line-up.
Both of these will be available on the streaming service from Sunday 31 December, and they’ll both make perfect accompaniments to your hangover or whatever you’re dealing with come the very first day of 2018.
Berlin Syndrome
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 73%
An American tourist (Lights Out’s Teresa Palmer) hooks up with a hunky local (Sense 8’s Max Riemelt) while on holiday, and heads back to his apartment for a night of adult fun. When she wakes up in the morning, she discovers that she has been accidentally locked in to his apartment, so she is forced to wait for him to come home. But when he returns, she discovers it was no accident.
Personal Shopper
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 80%
Kristen Stewart (of Twilight and Snow White & The Huntsman fame) plays the ghost-whisperer who is looking for the spirit of her deceased brother, while also moonlighting as the personal shopper for a big-time celebrity. What starts off as a search for hope, quickly takes a turn for the creepy as Stewart realises that the more she leaves the door open for her brother to make contact, the more other spirits can pass through to get to her.
