5 Netflix Original Superhero Movies

 Marvel Studios and DC Studios currently still dominate when it comes to superhero-themed films. Just imagine, in one year, they can release 3-4 superhero films at once. Moreover, these films are connected to each other. Catching up with the massive success of Marvel Studios and DC Studios is likely to be very difficult. But there are several other companies that are also trying to make superhero movies, and one of them is Netflix. It turns out that Netflix has made several superhero films. Anything?


Code 8

Code 8 is a film directed by Jeff Chan which tells the story of a human named Conner Reed who has super powers. But unlike most superhero films, Reed fell into the world of crime because of the economic problems he faced. On the other hand, Reed also has to take care of his sick mother. Interestingly, Reed isn't the only one who has super powers, because almost all humans have their own super powers. Those with super powers must attack each other in order to survive. In this film, Jeff Chang wants to show that superhumans are not like other films that always defend the truth.


Project Power

Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, Project Power is a Netflix flagship film that will be released on August 14, 2020. This film stars top Hollywood actors such as Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Dominique Fishback. The film tells the story of a group of people who try to stop the circulation of a pill that can give superhuman strength to its users for five minutes. The power that appears will also vary, depending on the person who drinks it. And again, the user can only know the effect after he takes the pill. For geeks who are bored with conventional superhero films, I think this film is a must watch.


The Old Guard

The next Netflix superhero film is The Old Guard. The Old Guard was once one of the most watched films in 2020. Adapted from the popular graphic novel by Greg Rucka and Leonardo Fernandez, this film successfully presents a challenging storyline. The film tells the story of a group of mercenaries who have different strengths. They have the power to live forever, and that power is used to protect the world. And interestingly, they have lived for centuries without being detected. But one day their strength was exposed so that they became the prey of many parties. There are many Hollywood stars involved in this film such as Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor.


How I Became a Superhero

This French superhero-themed film was worked on by director Douglas Attal. The film tells about humans who live side by side with superheroes. However, things started to go wrong when humans were exposed to the effects of a drug that suddenly spread throughout France. Since then, almost the entire population of France has superpowers that can harm themselves and others. Two detectives named Moreau and Schaltzmann were finally appointed to save the country and stop everything that was happening. This film does star actors from France such as Pio Marmai, and Leila Bekhti.


We Can Be Heroes

We Can Be Heroes was a trending film on Netflix. Approximately 97 minutes long, this film tells the story of a group of superheroes who call themselves The Heroics. When Earth is being threatened, The Heroics jump right in to protect their home. But suddenly, the leader of The Heroics, Marcus Moren, decides to step down and dedicate himself to raising his daughter Missy. In the end Missy realizes that she has super abilities like her friends, and that ability is the final key in The Heroics when it comes to dealing with dangerous aliens. Even though it presents many young superheroes, adult audiences can also enjoy this film.

Those are geeks, some of the superhero films made and shown specifically for Netflix. Even though they are not as popular as Marvel and DC films, these films are able to provide new colors and nuances about superhero films.

Violent Night Review: The Most Traumatic Christmas Eve

Imagine the song Silent Night but the calm and holiness of the night is replaced by chaos, gunshots, and traumatic scenes. Imagine the film Home Alone, where the villain doesn't just bump, fall down, and become the victim of the boy's pranks, but shatters into pieces so that the body parts are no longer intact. That's about the big picture of the film Violent Night, played by David Harbor. The Christmas film can be watched in all cinema networks. Spoiler alert! The title already explains the contents of the story of this film. But we don't witness the horror and brutality until the first quarter hour. This time is short enough to be filled with character introductions, world building, and typical Christmas movie moments: music, snow, and of course Santa Claus or Santa Claus. From year to year, this character has never been absent from Christmas movies either as a character or just simply mentioned. Various films have also often reported that this figure is not real and
