On October 21st, we’ve got another psychological thriller hitting Netflix: CTRL. This film takes a look at the dark side of social media and how our digital lives can spiral out of control. The story follows a popular internet couple whose entire relationship has been shared online for their millions of followers. But when they break up, things start to unravel in ways neither of them could have predicted. Have they shared too much? Are they losing control of their own lives because of the digital footprint they’ve left behind? Starring Ananya Panday as Nella Awasthi, this film digs deep into the complexities of life in the digital age, where privacy is almost nonexistent, and knowledge truly is power. If you’re into dramas that explore modern life and technology, this one’s for you!

Finally, closing out the month on October 23rd is a delightful French comedy called Family Pack. Originally titled Loups-Garous, this film is a quirky, time-traveling adventure based on the beloved card game The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow.
