Netflix furtively incorporates Dave Bautista's disappointing 2025 theatrical release, which boasts a commendable 24% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
In March, the movie "In The Lost Lands" made its theatrical debut, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, known for his work on the "Resident Evil" series and "Monster Hunter". The film, set in a fantasy post-apocalyptic world, follows the adventure of two characters as they navigate a dangerous wasteland.
Despite a mixed critical reception, "In The Lost Lands" has been described as a "beautifully bonkers B-movie" with a dark, moody, and engaging atmosphere. The movie currently holds a low 24% score on Rotten Tomatoes, yet its audience score hovers around 47%, indicating divided but passionate viewer reactions.
The film is based on a short story by George R.R. Martin, but Martin was not involved in the actual production of the movie. The characters in "In The Lost Lands" are played by Mila Jovovich and Dave Bautista.
The movie made an estimated $6 million on a $55 million budget, which some viewers find surprising given its cult appeal. As of writing, "In The Lost Lands" is the fifth most-watched film on Netflix UK, suggesting that it might become a popular "so-bad-it's-good" watch.
Interestingly, "In The Lost Lands" is the only Paul W.S. Anderson movie currently available on Netflix, making it more accessible to a wider audience. Anderson's distinct directing style, combined with the film's unique themes and setting, contributes to its potential as a cult favorite for viewers who enjoy "so-bad-it's-good" cinema experiences.
For fans of Anderson and those who enjoy genre films with a cult appeal, "In The Lost Lands" is worth a watch. Other films featuring Dave Bautista, such as "My Spy", "Blade Runner 2049", and "Glass Onion: A Knives out Mystery", are also available on Netflix.
