5 great Netflix movies you might have missed
Last updated: April 10, 2026
Let's paint a scenario that we think is pretty much universal in 2026: it’s Friday, and the urge to watch a movie hits you like a ton of bricks. You quickly tap your way into one of those subscription-based streaming services and begin the hunt.
Titles flicker past at breakneck speed, but somehow you still can’t find the one that really satisfies your craving. Suddenly, the Friday evening is almost over, and your dilemma is nowhere near solved. You’ve spent valuable time scrolling – time that could’ve been spent getting lost in a cinematic experience.
If this sounds familiar, there’s now a simple solution: movie tips! Today, we're recommending five fantasy movies on Netflix
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022)
We’ve seen this fairy tale before – most notably in Disney’s ever-so-slightly traumatizing version (I’ll never forget the kids reluctantly turning into donkeys). In 2022, master director Guillermo del Toro delivered his take on the wooden boy with a heart of gold.
In this stop-motion rendition of the classic, the story remains largely intact. The carpenter Geppetto longs for a son and creates one in the form of the wooden puppet Pinocchio. But it soon becomes clear that the world is a vast and strange place – especially for a little wooden boy.
K-pop Demon Hunters (2025)
The phenomenon that’s taken the world by storm – K-pop Demon Hunters is here to stay!
Meet Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who together form both a pop group and a team of demon hunters. As they cleanse the world of terrifying demons, trouble brews when the rival boy band, Saja Boys, makes their entrance.
Damsel (2024)
A playful twist on fantasy genre conventions, where the archetypal “damsel in distress” is forced into the role of protagonist when a marriage doesn’t quite go as planned.
Millie Bobby Brown stars as Elodie, a beautiful young woman who falls head over heels for Prince Henry (Nick Robinson). The problem? The marriage turns out to be a sham—his family intends to sacrifice her to a dragon. What should have been a romantic night quickly becomes a fight for survival.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)
An animated prequel set in the Witcher universe? Yes, please.
In Nightmare of the Wolf, we follow Geralt’s mentor Vesemir and his journey to become a Witcher. This prequel fills in many of the gaps fans have long been curious about—and it’s stylish, brutal, and emotionally charged to the max.
Troll (2022)
There isn’t a lot of monster fantasy set in the Nordic countries, but Troll is a successful exception.
Deep within the mountains of Norway’s Dovre region, something ancient suddenly awakens – something most Norwegians believed existed only in folklore: a troll. The massive creature destroys everything in its path and marches steadily toward the capital, Oslo, ready to level the city. The question is: how do you defeat a creature you never even believed was real?
