'Netflix's best movie in years' is coming to cinemas for a very limited time only

Netflix’s biggest original film of 2025 will be coming to cinemas very soon - but for an extremely limited time.

This critically acclaimed musical animated film released in June and quickly became a streaming sensation, becoming the platform’s second most popular English-language film of all time with a staggering 184.6 million views.

Fans have also been raving about the movie, calling it one of Netflix’s best releases in years and already demanding a sequel.

Now, Netflix has confirmed that the sensational KPop Demon Hunters will soon be coming to a cinema near you.

The thrilling and visually stunning musical adventure film follows a trio of K-Pop stars known as Huntr/x who secretly battle supernatural forces when they’re not on stage.

When a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, burst onto the scene, they discover their members are demons in disguise who have hatched a plan to steal Huntr/x’s fans to drain their powers.

Streamers who have already watched, rewatched and memorised the lyrics to the film’s killer soundtrack will now have a chance to show off their pop star potential at sing-along screenings on the big screen.

KPop Demon Hunters will be playing in cinemas for one weekend only, with showings on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th across the UK.

If you’ve somehow managed to miss the film, take it from these fans that it deserves a spot at the top of your watchlist.

One X user raved: “Just watched the KPop Demon Hunters Movie... best movie I have seen in a long time.

“As a kpop fan for 8 years I have to say everything about this was perfect. They nailed this concept and it was so much fun with a compelling story! I need more music from them!”

Someone else wrote: “I'm surprised Netflix didn't do much advertising for this movie but KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is one of the best animated movies I've seen in years!

“Catchy songs (Argh! SODA POP!) feminine, caring, and strong FMCs [female main characters] and a story with a heart. I super recommend this!”

“It is not only the best animated movie of the year (so far), it is also one of the best movies of 2025,” a third added. “I could see why everyone is talking about it.”

And one of the film’s hundreds of five-star Google reviews read: “I went into KPop Demon Hunters expecting a fun little animated flick and walked out feeling like I’d just watched one of the best things Netflix (and Sony Pictures Animation) has ever put out.

“This movie is a neon explosion of style, music, and heart, and it never once lets the energy drop.

“A dazzling fusion of pop stardom and supernatural chaos that deserves to be the start of a full-blown franchise.”
