#THE DEATH NOTE FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
If anything, the movie is more of a psychological thriller, and that's by design. The heart of Death Note isn't really in the blood and guts, which are commonly associated with scary movies these days (think Purge or Saw). Long story short, Light is intoxicated with the power of the Death Note and becomes a mass murderer, attracting the attention of an unorthodox detective L (Lakeith Stanfield). The owner can write in any name they want and specify how and when they die, and it will come true. The movie follows Light Turner (Nat Wolff), a smart, but isolated teenager who finds himself with the Death Note which, as explained by a creepy but not all too scary demon named Ryuk (Willem Dafoe), is a magical notebook. What makes Death Note so scary isn't necessarily the horror of death (and some of the deaths in the movie are truly quite horrible), but the willingness with which the film's main characters want to commit murder. If you're not into seeing people die bloody deaths, then some scenes in Death Note will be difficult to watch, but believe me when I tell you that death is really the least of your worries.
It's one of the major differences between the source material and this new version. How scary Death Note is isn't actually proportional to the amount of death in it, but, don't worry, it's still a pretty good indicator.įans of the original manga and anime might be surprised to find out that Death Note actually does feature quite a bit of gore.
While most mere mortals consider death to be pretty frightening, it's not always enough to make a movie actually terrifying. And spoiler alert (if the title wasn't enough to tip you off), it's got a lot of death in it. Death Note, Netflix's newest original film, is adapted from a Japanese manga-turned-anime.
