Netflix knows that the cure for the mid-month movie blues is adding even more movies to its lineup.
At the same time other streamers are lacking new content, Netflix has the recently released remake/sequel, I Know What You Did Last Summer.
It also has a surprising new No. 1 on top of the most-popular movies list, and it’s one true-crime story you won’t forget.
You can find those films and one more among Watch With Us‘ picks for Netflix’s three most popular movies that you need to watch now.
8 Must-Watch Horror Movies on Netflix (October 2025): ‘Smile’ and More
‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ (2025)
If you thought the characters were vapid and superficial in the first version of I Know What You Did Last Summer, wait until you meet the new generation. In no time at all, you’ll be rooting for the killer, who still bears a striking resemblance to the Gorton’s fisherman.
Danica Richards (Madelyn Cline), Ava Brucks (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo Griffin (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy Spencer (Tyriq Withers) and Stevie Ward (Sarah Pidgeon) cause a fatal accident during a night of partying, but the coverup is the real crime. One year later, a killer stalks them in a way that echoes the events of the first film. With nowhere else to turn, the group approaches the only remaining survivors of the first massacre, Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt).

‘The Perfect Neighbor’ (2025)
The Perfect Neighbor is one of the rare movies with a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. But this is far from an uplifting tale. Instead, it’s a true crime story about neighborhood harassment that spirals into violence. At the center of it all is Susan Lorincz, a woman who describes herself as a “perfect neighbor.” She’s anything but perfect as she constantly calls the cops on the children of Ajike “AJ” Shantrell Owens.
This film utilizes real 911 calls and police footage from the various times that Lorinez attempted to get law enforcement to go after Owens’ children. It also includes a sobering look at the night that gunshots rang out, which left a woman dead by her neighbor’s hands.
