Any Netflix fans looking for creepy thrills to cap off the end of spooky season ought to give Mirage a go.
The 2018 movie is available to stream on Netflix and audiences have been raving about it on Rotten Tomatoes ever since.
Check out the trailer here:
The Spanish film, named Durante la Tormenta in the director's native tongue, follows the story of two families living in the same house 25 years apart.
A terrible electrical storm appears in both 1989 and 2014, and through it protagonist Vera (Adriana Ugarte) realises she can speak to a boy who was killed in the past, warning him of the danger he is in.

However, by changing her past to save a life Vera accidentally ends up warping her present beyond recognition with her whole life changed.
From there the film follows Vera as she tries to set things right and work out what will happen to the life she saved in the past.
The movie has been plenty popular among Netflix audiences who've called it a 'must watch' and tried to alert fellow viewers to a hidden gem lurking in the streaming service's massive catalogue of shows and films.
One viewer said they stuck the film on in an attempt to learn Spanish (don't worry, you can watch it in English too) and didn't expect much beyond a movie 'just to pass the time while eating' yet they ended up 'hooked'.
