Stephen King has advised Netflix users to watch the new horror film Under Paris, which he lauds for having “one of the best endings ever.” As the “King of Horror,” King’s recommendations in the genre are highly regarded. At 76, King is renowned for novels such as It, The Shining, and The Green Mile, all of which have been adapted into successful films. Despite his ongoing writing endeavors, he still finds time to enjoy books, TV series, and movies, sharing his top picks with his 7.1 million followers on X.

King recently endorsed Under Paris, a 2024 film that pleasantly surprised him. Initially skeptical, he anticipated it to be a humorous parody like Sharknado. However, upon viewing, he found it “really quite good,” particularly impressed by the film’s climax. Released on June 5, the movie stands out as a “creature feature” set in Paris, where a giant shark wreaks havoc on the city, particularly during a triathlon in the Seine River.

Despite its seemingly absurd premise, Under Paris has garnered significant acclaim from Netflix viewers, with some even calling it the “most terrifying shark movie ever made.” Directed by Xavier Gens, the film transforms its dramatic concept into a suspenseful narrative, keeping audiences on edge until its riveting final 25 minutes. This ending, praised by King, features scenes that are both intense and memorable, earning the film accolades from horror enthusiasts.

Given the film’s success and the positive reception, including King’s endorsement, it is likely that a sequel, Under Paris 2, could be on the horizon. The unexpected praise from such a prominent figure in the horror genre highlights Under Paris as a must-watch for fans seeking a thrilling cinematic experience.
