Netflix Has A Creepy Nicolas Cage Thriller You've Probably Never Seen

Perhaps the biggest testament to Between Worlds' weirdness is the fact that the movie has proved to be very divisive. According to SyFy, when the movie screened at Fantastic Fest, "[it] had audiences cheering on the film the whole way." In an interview with The Moveable Fest, Pulera said of the movie's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, "[W]e were sitting with an international audience and they were laughing their asses off and we're like, 'Wow, it transcends cultural borders.' They got it, and not only did they get it, they liked it, so that was really fun."

On the other side of the coin, the film didn't fare as well with some professional critics. Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave the film a scathing review and offered a warning to potential viewers swayed by the film's strangeness, "I know that may entice some readers to watch Between Worlds, but let me assure you: this movie may sound amazing, but you really, really do not want to go there."

Nick Johnston of Vanyaland disagreed with that assessment. While he criticized the film for not fully realizing its ambitions, he said, "Cage's ferocious oddness keeps the movie afloat, as it's his choices...that make Between Worlds more than a simple evocation of Twin Peaks."

The split in reception for Between Worlds can be summed up by the movie's Rotten Tomatoes scores. It has a measly 32% with critics, but an admirable 84% from audiences. If you're still not sure how you'll feel about this odd hidden gem, there's only one way to find out for sure — and luckily for you, it's available on Netflix.
