Now that the horrors of rushing around the crowded shops doing last minute Christmas shopping are over, how about settling down to enjoy another sort of frightening experience - a film which has just come onto Netflix which is really scrambling with people's heads.
Prepare to jump for joy when you see some of your favorites from Clueless and Obsession, but then squeal in fear:

The psychological thriller was directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala and written by Franz, Fiala, and Sergio Casci.
It stars Daisy Jones and the Six's Riley Keough, Jaeden Martell best known for It, Lia McHugh (A House on the Bayou), Clueless' Alicia Silverstone, and Obsession's Richard Armitage.
While the film was first released in 2019 - premiering at Sundance Film Festival - it's only just become available on Netflix.
The official Netflix synopsis reads: "Snowed in with her fiancé's two children at a remote cabin, a woman haunted by the past begins to suspect that she's caught in a terrifying trap."
The thriller may only have a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 51 percent, but it has a tomatometer rating of 75 percent, making it officially 'fresh'.
And it's certainly having quite the impact on some viewers, with people flooding to X - formerly known as Twitter - to weigh in on Netflix's recent addition - titled The Lodge.
One user said: "WHOA. I don't remember what made me put THE LODGE on my Netflix list, but the first ten minutes has maybe the most shocking moment I've seen in a film in a while."
"Dude I just watched the lodge on Netflix.........that s**t messed me UP. holy s**t... if y’all like creepy stuff that’ll mess with your head you need to watch it. It’s insane," another added.
A third wrote: "I just watched ‘the lodge’ on Netflix and I’m speechless," and a fourth said: "The Lodge 10/10 On Netflix."
However, while many sing the movie's praises, one user has also taken the opportunity to highlight a potentially triggering scene which takes place early on in the film.
The user said: "If you’re sensitive to suicide do NOT watch 'The lodge' on Netflix. There is an extremely violent suicide without warning. Please share this. 100 percent triggering and painful to watch."
The Lodge is available to watch on Netflix now.
