The Netflix film charts look very different this week. However, one sleeper hit doesn’t seem to want to leave just yet. For the fourth week in a row, The Pale Blue Eye is refusing to leave the Global Top 10. It’s dropped to the number seven spot in Films (English) but is still holding her own in this battle to keep the streak alive.

In the film, a world-weary detective is hired to discreetly investigate the gruesome murder of a cadet. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, he enlists one of their own to help unravel the case—a young man the world would come to know as Edgar Allan Poe.

We watched The Pale Blue Eye last night & quite liked it—the cold, dark & rainy night added to the great atmosphere / cinematography. Fantastic score by Howard Shore.Amazing cast.The type of film we used to discover when we just happened to see a movie in a theater on a Sunday. pic.twitter.com/gUHh0xSltL

THE PALE BLUE EYE continues Scott Cooper's trend of being on the cusp of greatness, but that's okay when there's thick atmosphere from the score & cinematography. Include the strong performances from both Bale & Melling & a lingering sadness and you got something pretty good here pic.twitter.com/fAokegNh7h

The Pale Blue Eye on @netflix is a tale that will keep your eyes peeled trying to figure out this classic tale of murder & mystery. And when you include Edgar Allen Poe, this tale just gets better. Great performances, especially Harry Melling as Poe. #ThePaleBlueEye pic.twitter.com/tXr670GULR

Oh, I watched The Pale Blue Eye, too. The kid who was muggle Dudley Dursley is pretty amazing in it as Poe.

COVID entertainment update: watched The Pale Blue Eye on Netflix. Slow burn, but rewarding. Bale is great, but the guy playing Poe is next level. Looked it up, and it's Dudley freakin Dursley from the HP films. That fact melted my already fiery brain. pic.twitter.com/bNMvq17QtI

The Pale Blue Eye is based on the novel by Louis Bayard. The film is written and directed by Scott Cooper. The film also boasts a phenomenal cast that includes Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson.

Christian Bale’s 49th birthday was January 30th. Hopefully, someone told him his fans are keeping his current film on the charts. Happy Birthday indeed!
