Additionally, Netflix is serving up a psychological feast with Revelations, a feature film from the brilliant minds behind Hellbound, Yeon Sang-ho and Choi Gyu-seok. Executive produced by Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón, the film is set around the investigation of a missing person. The story follows a local pastor, Sung Min-chan, who is determined to uncover the truth and bring the perpetrator to justice, while the detective on the case, Lee Yeon-hui, grapples with personal trauma that complicates the investigation. Starring Ryu Jun-yeol, Shin Hyun-been, and Shin Min-jae, Revelations is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrills, and it drops on March 21.

Hitting Hulu on March 17, Anora is aizers to gain more viewers on the platform.
