Netflix has always brought many good shows and movies to subscribers, and many of their original films are very popular too. Recently, Netflix launched a British psychological thriller “Behind Her Eyes”, which has attracted worldwide attention within just 3 days of its launch!
“Behind Her Eyes” is an adaptation of the best-selling novel published by British author Sarah Pinborough in 2017 (the same title as the series). This series is directed by Erik Richter Strand and starred by Simona Brown, Eve Hewson, Tom Bateman and others. This series was launched on Netflix on February 17. Although there are only 6 episodes, it is very exciting to watch!
This mini-series tells the story of a single mother, Louise having an affair with her psychiatrist David. On the other hand, she met David’s mysterious wife Adele. In this triangular relationship, Louise gradually got into a series of strange “mind games” after understanding the secrets of the couple.
I thought that this series was simply describing an extramarital affair and a love triangle, but I didn’t expect it to contain elements of psychological horror. The ending of the series has a big plot twist, which was completely unexpected by the audience, and it was extremely exciting!
In fact, the ending in the original novel is more pathological than the series, and the Novel Publishing House even wrote #WTFthatending for it. Even the original author Sarah Pinborough was surprised by its ending after watching this Netflix series. She couldn’t believe that the ending was written by herself. She said that she had a different feeling when she wrote it and actually watching it happened. The film director, Erik said that if the ending of the series is the same as the original, the audience may feel uncomfortable, so they found a balance. The ending of the series is slightly different from the original.
Netflix series “Behing Her Eyes” received 7.1 rating on IMDb. If you like horror dramas, this is the one you should watch!
