The #1 Thriller On Netflix Is A Biblically Underrated Apocalyptic Freakshow

It feels like people are in the mood for action horror with the threat of an apocalypse. At least, that is what I am gathering from this 2010 title appearing in the Netflix charts today. Or maybe they just really need a Paul Bettany fix this winter. Either way, Legion seems to be the answer to many fans’ prayers. Let us get acquainted with this often-overlooked movie below.
The Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis read: For the patrons and staff at a dusty roadside diner, the day begins as usual, but when the phones go out and a sweet old lady goes on the attack, it’s a harbinger of the terror to come. As the horrifying nature of the situation sinks in, help arrives in the form of the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany), who tells a pregnant waitress that her unborn baby is humanity’s last hope, and he will do anything to protect it.

Legion was directed by Scott Stewart. It was written by Peter Schink and Scott Stewart. The cast includes Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Kevin Durand, Kate Walsh, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, and Adrianne Palicki.
Most fans are here for the Paul Bettany of it all. Many think it’s an underappreciated gem, and are still having trouble forgetting the most messed up scene in the diner.

Legion was not the beginning of a cinematic universe in the way people hoped it would be. However, a sequel show, Dominion, did air for two seasons on SYFY. The series took place 25 years after the events in the film.
