In the latest update of Netflix’s most viewed series and movies, file 81 appeared in the top ten. It is a psychological horror genre plot created by the American Rebecca Sonnenshi, and based on a podcast with the same title that premiered in 2018 and has already become all the rage on the streaming platform.

In the story, Dan Turner is a video archivist and restorer who receives the task to recover some tapes destroyed in a fire. As his work progresses, he finds mysterious clips that lead him into an investigation where there are 13 missing people and a young woman asking for help.

According an article by the writer Paul Tassi for the magazine Forbes, file 81 “it is the second most watched show in the US.”. In fact, “he already overlooked Cobra Kai, The Witcher y Emily in Paris with its debut, and could potentially go to number one with enough word-of-mouth recommendations.”

The production of the series is in charge of James Wan, who directed and was the creator of franchises such as: The Conjuring Y The Fear Game (Saw). While Aaron Moorhead, Haifaa Al-Mansour, Justin Benson, Rebecca Thomas are the different directors.

The plot is starring Dina Shihabi (Altered Carbon), Mamoudou Athie (The Get Downi) Y Matt McGorry (Orange is the new black). In the cast stand out: Martin Donovan (Big Little Lies), Matt McGorry (How to defend a murderer), Julia Chan (Katy Keene), Evan Jonigkeit (Frontera) y Ariana Neal (Hidden figures).

Rebecca Sonnenshine (Vampire Chronicles) was the screenwriter who adapted the story; To carry out his work, he contacted the creators of the podcast that inspired the series: Marc Sollinger y Daniel Powell, who became the executive producers of the product along with Wan.

Netflix counts among the reasons for its success, in addition to its own and exclusive content, the technology behind it that makes the selection and recommendation of movies and series respond to the particular interests of each user or profile.

However, there is a lot of hidden content that may never be recommended. and, therefore, you will never have the option of finding it, unless you specifically look for it. But there is, as always thanks to technology, a way to unlock it so you can expand your movie options on the popular platform.

Why does Netflix hide much of its catalog? In truth, it is not a premeditated action: the algorithm simply does not show a large part of the voluminous offer because it works with recommendations based on themes that the user has already seen, and from there it prepares the menu based on their tastes and content consumption .

Beyond that, you can access that extended catalog and start consuming other content so that the Netflix algorithm begins to recommend things that it traditionally does not take into consideration.

How to see the hidden movies? It is very simple. I opened your account in a computer browser and typed in “Netflix Category Lookup”. In this way you will see categories of content that do not appear in the traditional list of the platform’s offer.

Some of those hidden categories are Bollywood Movies, Faith and Spirituality, Indepent Movies y Music, Westerns, among other.
