Spooky Season is in full swing, a fact that is very clearly reflected in the Netflix Top 10 Movies list. Half of the films included in Tuesday’s edition of the list are horror or Halloween-themed movies, showing that subscribers are all-in on celebrating the month of October. Of those films, one of the most popular is a 2014 horror flick from Doctor Strange and Sinister director Scott Derrickson, which never really got its due when it was first released.

The film in question is Deliver Us From Evil, the movie Derrickson directed after 2012’s Sinister. Deliver Us From Evil didn’t get great reviews when it hit theaters, but it went on to make nearly $90 million at the box office and has developed a decent following in the years since.
