A mouth-watering month for those who love genre productions e the most spectacular cinema, the one that awaits us on Netflix. In fact, in May 2021, three highly anticipated films will be released, as you can immediately see in our top 3.
The most thunderous is certainly Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, which returns to the zombie-movie genre after seventeen years after its debut with the remake of Dawn of the Living Dead (2004). The other two titles are in any case noteworthy: science fiction lovers will be able to experience themed emotions in the new work of Alexandre Aja, that is Oxygène starring Melanie Laurent, while those of the thriller / mystery will breathe high tension in the adaptation of The woman at the window, which stars Amy Adams in the main role.
Among the other interesting original releases we point out The Divine Codino, a biographical operation on the life and career of the legendary champion Roberto Baggio, the tense racially motivated drama Monster and Korean sci-fi Super Me.
Oxygène – May 11

The woman has no recollection of why she is there and as she tries to find answers to her questions the situation worsens, with oxygen that is about to run out. To try to survive Elizabeth will have to dig into her own memory to find a possible escape route.
Originally it was supposed to be Anne Hathaway, replaced first by Noomi Rapace and finally by Melanie Laurent, actual protagonist of the new science fiction film ofbeloved French director Alexandre Aja. A story that promises a considerable dose of tension and mystery, like another title recently arrived on the platform as Stranger on board (2021).
