It came after fans were "shaking" after watching horror movie Hellhole, also newly-available on Netflix.

This time around, is it the Soft & Quiet's plotline, centred on school teacher Emily who comes into contact with someone from her past, which is proving disconcerting.

Netflix warns how the education professional's meet-ups with similar women "sparks a volatile chain of events when she encounters a face from her past."

Director and writer Beth de Araújo's film was described as a "timely American nightmare" on its release.

And horror film fans seem to agree.

One wrote: "Watch Soft & Quiet on Netflix so intense I’m bawling my heart one of those movies that hit where your emotions are all over!!! I had to journal about it…ever saw girl next door? It’s like that emotion feelings."

Another added: "It’s literally the only movie I have rented and then refused to finish. It’s also the only movie I want to send to hell in the express lane."

A third then mused: "With the current state of affairs right now, everyone should check out the truly timely and unsettling film Soft & Quiet."

One then added: "Soft & Quiet is on Netflix today, and I can't recommend it highly enough. An incredibly daring film in both form and content, writer/director Beth de Araújo conceived of this real world horror story as a real time oner and knocks it out of the park."

Their fears came just days after Amazon Prime viewers told how they "couldn't sleep" after watching scary movie Countdown.

Previously, fans were left "screaming at the screen" after watching horror Smile on the same platform.

They were also "scared to death" 10 minutes into The Wailing.

Meanwhile others simply "couldn't sleep" after tuning in to Black Phone.
