Netflix fans rave over gore-filled revenge thriller with 'the female John Wick' - insisting 'they could make 100 more and I'd watch every one!'
The Wrath Of Becky premiered in 2023 and has recently been added to the streaming platform.
Packed full of action and blood, the highly acclaimed film stars Lulu Wilson as the titular lead character, a teenage girl.
Becky moved in with a new caregiver, Elena, and finds herself seeking revenge after a trio of extremists cause her hassle and steal her pet dog.
The film follows on from a 2020 prequel, called Becky, which saw the young girl lose her father after a group of Neo-Nazi convicts attacked their family's lake house.
Fans have enjoyed the film over the years and many have left their verdicts online.
One viewer penned on Letterboxd: 'I could watch Lulu Wilson play Becky in 10 more sequels.'
Another said: 'She's basically the female version of a teenage John Wick.'
While someone else reportedly penned: 'They could make 100 films about Becky slaying Proud Boys and Neo Nazis and I would watch every single one of them.'
'Solid revenge thriller with some lovely kills and a little twist of humour,' another added.
One fan said: 'Omg I was on the edge of my SEAT the entire time this was so intense but also somehow comedic HOW do you do that at the same time?? Pls watch this SEQUEL NOW SEQUEL NOW.'
'Did not realise this was a sequel but still enjoyed watching it nonetheless. A good action film that gets straight to the point,' someone else penned.
However, not everyone has enjoyed the film and one said: 'It's a no from me.'
It comes as Netflix fans are captivated by another thriller 'full of twists and turns', gushing about how 'it kept them guessing until the very end' and binge-watching every episode in one sitting.
Love Rat, first released to Channel 5 in March last year, follows Emma (Coronation Street 's Sally Lindsay), a woman at a crossroads in later life.

Hollywood heartthrob starring in one of this summer's biggest blockbusters looks unrecognisable in throwback snaps - Can YOU spot who he is?
His role in The Last Of Us saw him become a household name in his 40s, despite a years-long career. The Chilean-American actor's big break came in 2014 when he landed a role in Games Of Thrones. Most recently he has been the focus of the big screen with appearances in the huge Gladiator sequel featuring Paul Mescal, as well as the summer's biggest blockbuster - The Fantastic Four. His fashion sense has also turned heads on the red carpet, thanks to his choice of tight-fitting vests and thigh-high boots. But the actor looked unrecognisable in an array of snaps from before his Hollywood fame. Posing with best friend Sarah Paulson, the star kept it casual in a bomber jacket and untucked pink shirt for a Broadway premiere in 2005 - but can YOU guess who it is? It's none other than Hollywood heartthrob and all-round icon Pedro Pascal. Most recently Pedro has a blockbuster on his hands with the release of his new superhero film. The Fantastic Four: First Steps launched with a bigger-than-expected opening weekend, raking in an estimated $118 million domestically and another $100 million overseas, for a global debut of around $220 million, according to Comscore. The 50-year-old Mandalorian star is among the Marvel Studios film's iconic quartet, and the new film led at the domestic box office for the past two weeks. Directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the latest version of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing. But before his mega fame, Pedro had to claw his way past his own very harrowing real-world demons in order to achieve a lasting career. Pedro, who is originally from Santiago, Chile, has faced an incredibly rocky road on his path to stardom, both professionally and personally. He has previously detailed how his parents were forced into hiding when he was just four months old to evade capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against opposition. Pedro's world was rocked once again when his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion - before fleeing the country ahead of the trial with his family in tow. And the star would face more tragedy when his mother, who he called 'the love of his life,' tragically took her own life. Nonetheless, Pedro continued working away at his career and would eventually get a big break in 2014 that put him on a whirlwind trajectory. He was born Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal in Santiago, Chile, on April 2, 1975, to a child psychologist named Veronica Pascal and a fertility doctor Jose Balmaceda. When he was just four months old his parents were forced to leave him and his sister with their aunt, so they could avoid capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against his opposition. Six months later, the couple were able to climb the walls of the Venezuelan embassy and claim asylum. The family were able to relocate to Denmark before arriving in the United States, where they first lived in San Antonio, Texas. But they would later move again to Orange County, California, when he was 11. From a young age, the star fell in love with movies, since he told Variety that his parents would often take him and his siblings to the cinema to 'soak up as much American culture as possible.' He initially dreamed of being a competitive swimmer, participating in state championships until the age of 11, but later stopped to instead focus on strengthening his skills as an actor. After finishing high school, he studied acting at University's Tisch School of the Arts in New York City, where he graduated from in 1997. While he was in college, his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion. In the early years of his career, Pedro landed a slew of small guest appearances in shows like The Good Wife, Homeland, The Mentalist, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: SVU, and Graceland. But despite landing a series of bit-parts, his big break came in 2014, after he was cast as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones. Following his success in Game of Thrones, Pedro was met with a flurry of offers. He went on to star in the Netflix show Narcos, the 2015 movie Bloodsucking Bastards, the spy comedy Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the monster movie The Great Wall, and The Equalizer 2 (opposite Denzel Washington).

Amanda Bynes shows off weight loss results after revealing Ozempic plans
Amanda Bynes showed off her trimmer figure in Los Angeles on Friday after opening up about her Ozempic weight loss journey. The former Nickelodeon star, 39, was spotted running errands in a fitted white T-shirt and leggings, a stark contrast from her recent outings and social media posts, where she's often bundled up in oversized hoodies and sweatpants. In June, Amanda revealed that she was starting the weight-loss jabs, adding: 'I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO The outing comes after she announced joining OnlyFans in April, telling fans she was using the platform solely to communicate with them, making it clear she had no plans to post anything 'sleazy'. Calling it a 'career renaissance', she wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon. A source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon'. The insider told Daily Mail: 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way. Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. 'She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet. She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.'

‘The BBC feels very samey and boring': the over-50s who prefer YouTube
UK viewers over the age of 55 watched almost twice as much YouTube last year as they did in 2023, with 42% of them watching on a TV, according to a survey by the communications regulator Ofcom. Here, six people over 50 describe why they prefer YouTube and how it compares with the broadcast TV they grew up with. YouTube is full of hidden gems and many videos are made by ordinary people. There's so much more on offer in one place than other streaming services or broadcast channels. Also, some streaming channels can be difficult to navigate to find what you want. At the moment, I'm really enjoying reaction videos. One of my favourites is Regeneration Nation TV where an American duo react to music, comedians and TV shows like Fawlty Towers. They're fun to watch and you feel involved. I also think it's helpful for those who feel lonely – it's almost like the people in these videos are with you. I used to work as a volunteer for the Samaritans so I can understand loneliness. I feel YouTube fills a need that other services don't. It's very personal and is a place where you can find anything, and often find what you're looking for. Lloyd , 62, disabled and unemployed, Kent YouTube offers so much content that aligns with my interests and hobbies including music, photography, science and movie reviews. Not to mention it's all on demand and much of it is available in bite-size form (15 to 20 minutes). For dramas and films, I use streaming services. Now in my late 50s, I also really value YouTube's treasure trove of live music performances – there's always something new or nostalgic to discover. There is just nothing on traditional TV that comes anywhere close to the choice and niche subjects that I can find on YouTube, like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop tutorials. While I occasionally miss watching live events (women's football, or Ozzy Osbourne's funeral), I don't feel I'm missing out. Steve, 50s, customer services manager, Gloucestershire I like how short content is on YouTube, making it easy to watch something while you're eating in the kitchen. I prefer it to other streaming services for the wide choice of things to watch. My favourite shows are when people are making something out of nothing, whether it's the Great Pottery Throwdown or Rust Valley where they do up old cars. I had a TV licence because I didn't want to have a problem with the authorities thinking I watch the television, even though I didn't. I rescinded it recently, though, as I don't think the BBC makes very good programmes any more. I'm not interested in their output and it feels very samey and boring. I'm also on a state pension and it was difficult to justify the fee. Andrea, 67, retired care worker, Bedfordshire Watching broadcast TV is madness – having to see something at a specific time makes no sense. I stopped about 20 years ago when Tivo came out, and over time not watching TV got easier once broadband improved and there were more streaming services. YouTube is so much better than others as you can watch anything from deep space to quantum theory. I like watching really detailed scientific videos that are overwhelmingly technical. One channel is PBS Eons, which is about the history of life on Earth. I find that TV is too long-winded and the episode recaps make me feel like I have a memory of a goldfish – it drives me up the wall. Out of politeness, I still have a TV licence. I've heard stories of people not being able to prove they're not watching TV and being taken to court. It's more for my peace of mind. Stu Smith, 54, IT consultant, Ipswich I watch YouTube because I can never find anything entertaining on terrestrial television. I really like to watch travel shows where I can sit at home and feel I can do things like climb in the Himalayas, trek in New Zealand or go to amazing restaurants in different countries. Even though I occasionally watched sport, I gave up my TV licence two years ago. I couldn't abide so-called celebrities or look-at-me types who interrupted the programme so you get to look at their faces all the time. I don't mean to be presenter-bashing, but when you get old you need to be a bit more calm in your life, and presenters tend to jump out the TV at you. I just got fed up with it. Gillian, 73, retired secretary, Stratford-upon-Avon I've played in a few bands and do a lot of recording at home and in 2018 I started watching help videos for recording with Logic Pro X on YouTube. Then I found a lot of guitar tutors as I was studying for my grade 5 classical, then moved on to using the platform for science and history documentaries. Suddenly I could access a lot of information. I also like watching it on the TV as it's more comfortable than sitting at a desk or using a laptop. I find the ability to scroll through a multitude of topics to find something that fits my mood much better than the offerings on TV. YouTube seems to offer the ability to immerse and satisfy, whether learning or relaxing, in a much more precise way than TV or other streaming services.
