Now more than ever Netflix is becoming stronger by signing deals with some big distributers and even having their own production company. One thing Netflix has always been good at is instantly streaming right onto your computer or TV some big name movies and even some hidden gems that you wouldn’t necessarily know about.

Here are 20 movies that you might have not heard of or known about, you should put them on your Instant Queue when you’re done reading this list.

What’s it about? A darker cousin of Kick-Ass, this movie adds a little more realistic toughness to the genre. A young boy witnesses his mother being murdered by a car thief and grows up taken to the streets at night hunting those that wrong the innocent. Injecting steroids and learning different fighting styles, Sean puts all his power into finding the man who took his mother’s life.

Why you should watch it? A new style in the superhero/vigilante genre really adds more realism. No super powers or endless cash flow allows people to really connect with the main character.

 

15. Doghouse (Watch On Netflix)

doghouse

What’s it about? Six friends decide to treat the recently divorced buddy to a boy’s weekend. They decide to visit a town that supposedly has four women for every one man. When they get there, though they discover the rumors are true, the women have somehow changed into weapon-wielding-man-hating zombies bent to take revenge on all men.

Why you should watch it? Comparisons with Shaun Of The Dead are folly, that film is an awesome parody of the genre, a film that remains a sub-genre highlight. This is a different film, though, one that parodies the genre with a totally focused observational narrative on a culture that warrants humorous inspection.
