The new thriller flick Don't Move has been showered with acclaim since its Netflix debut on October 25, swiftly shattering records and soaring to unmatched popularity.
In just a mere five days post-release, the film has clinched the prestigious title of Netflix's most-watched movie worldwide, topping the global top ten films list for the week.
Racking up an impressive 20.2 million views and a staggering 31 million hours watched, it eclipsed competing titles like Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare and The Menendez Brothers and claimed the coveted peak spot.
Don't Move spins a suspenseful yarn about a woman in a desperate race against time to elude a relentless serial killer hot on her heels.
Her initial brush with freedom is short-lived when she discovers his sinister act of injecting her with a paralytic substance, leaving her with only twenty minutes to flee before her body is struck down, reports the Mirror.
Starring Kelsey Asbille as Iris and Finn Witrock as Richard, with Moray Treadwell and Daniel Francis bringing other pivotal characters to life, the film immerses the viewer into a tense chase for survival.
At the helm are directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, while famed Spider-Man helmsman Sam Raimi lends his prowess as producer.
