A veteran in the world of streaming, Netflix’s catalog of films runs deep. Time and again, the platform has provided its subscribers with an array of content worthy of anyone’s movie night. However, as new films make their way to the streaming service, dozens of films are forced to leave. Unfortunately, numerous films are slated to vacate the platform in the coming weeks that viewers should check out before it’s too late.
With nearly every genre of film on the chopping block, subscribers have a long list of movies to choose from before they’re no longer available. While not every viewer will find the soon-to-be departing films appealing, there’s certainly at least one worth watching before they vacate the platform next month.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise
Leaving July 1
Directed by Wes Craven, A Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic slasher film with a supernatural twist featuring the infamous villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) at its center. Burned to death by the parents of the children he murdered, Krueger now haunts the dreams of local teenagers and kills them in their sleep with the metal claw he wears on his right hand.
The film spawned a slew of sequels and spinoffs and has cemented itself as one of the most iconic horror franchises in American pop culture. The first five films in the franchise, along with the 2010 remake of the original, are slated to vacate Netflix soon, which means fans and prospective viewers don’t have long before the movies are gone. The A Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise is leaving Netflix on July 1.
Inside Man
