Leave the World Behind

What: Movie
Where: Netflix
When: Now
Genre: Thriller
Why you should watch: Leave the World Behind is not the first Airbnb-themed horror to hit our screens, but with Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali, it’s certainly the most star-studded. Directed by Sam Esmai, creator of Mr. Robot, the film follows a family whose idyllic stay at a rental home is interrupted when the owners unexpectedly return. But this is only the beginning of their trouble as the world’s technological systems start to collapse and the family has to fight to survive (there seem to be a few M. Night Shyamalan-style twists in store).
