20 Hidden Horror Gems On Netflix

17. Errementari: The Blacksmith And The Devil

This weird looking little horror movie is exactly that: weird. But Errementari, spoken in Basque and retaining much of its unique cultural heritage, is much more enticing than just its strangeness, revelling in a an ancient fable about its titular characters who are locked in a spiritual battle. A blacksmith keeps a demon captured in his forge, who's accidentally released by a little girl tricked by its illusionary ways - and the rest of the film plays out as his attempt to recapture the creature before it wreaks too much havoc on the human world.

Another surprisingly good Netflix original, Errementari plays out like a dark, gothic fairytale, reminiscent of Pan's Labyrinth in its dual creepy/whimsical narrative.
