Hellbound 2, South Korean horror series (October 25)
If you’re looking for a bit of thrill, however, don’t forget that the South Korean horror series Hellbound returns to Netflix this week with its second season, three years after its debut. In a world where hellish sentences and gruesome executions are commonplace, the Church of the New Truth struggles to maintain power without President Jung Jinsu, who has disappeared. By contrast, the unruly Arrowhead cult increases its influence through propaganda and public trials. The government tasks the New Truth with establishing a new order, using the resurrected Park Jungja. When Jung Jinsu suddenly comes back to life after being in hell, Sodo, a group led by lawyer Min Hyejin who seeks to protect the innocent, tries to find him to avoid further chaos. Is the resurrection the beginning of salvation or another hell? Hellbound returns to provide an answer.

After a serious accident during a storm, the musician begins to have terrifying visions concerning them.
The extraordinary life of Ibelin, docufilm (25 October)
And, finally, we recommend the documentary film that thrilled everyone at the Sundance Festival: The extraordinary life of Ibelin. When Norwegian gamer Mats Steen dies at the age of twenty-five, his parents mourn a life they thought was isolated. Only after accessing his blog do they discover the deep friendships he had formed virtually before dying from a degenerative muscle disease, unaware that Mats had long led a vibrant digital existence that had left a profound impact on a community of fellow gamers. The film takes us on a journey through Mats Steen’s adventurous online life, introducing us to Ibelin, his charismatic alter ego in World of Warcraft. Through the reconstruction of eventful scenes of Mats’ game actions, the narration of interventions taken from his blog and interviews with people who knew him as Ibelin, the image of an extraordinary young man emerges, which underlines how the sense of community and emotional relationships can transcend the boundaries of the physical world.
