The one where we review Him and The Man in the Basement
Description
🎬 This week on The Flixters: Secrets, Swans, and Streaming Thrills! 🎙️🍿
We’re back with another episode of movie madness, and this one’s packed with mystery, mind games, and a dash of ballet-fueled brilliance! First up, we review Him — a psychological thriller that’ll have you second-guessing every character’s motive. Twists, tension, and a whole lot of “Wait… what just happened?”
Then we head into the shadows with The Man in the Basement, now streaming on Disney Plus. It’s a slow-burn French thriller about a couple who unknowingly rent out their basement to a man with a dark past. Creepy, compelling, and perfect for fans of quiet suspense. 🏠😱 💡 Fun Fact: The film is inspired by real-life events in Paris — and the actual building still stands!
For our Anniversary Corner, we pirouette back to Black Swan (2010), Darren Aronofsky’s haunting ballet drama that gave Natalie Portman her Oscar and gave us all nightmares about mirrors. 🩰🖤 💡 Fun Fact: Portman trained for a year and lost 20 pounds for the role — and she did most of her own dancing!
So, grab your headphones and join The Flixters for another week of cinematic thrills, chills, and swan dives into film history. 🎧✨
And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.
Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!
