Here's the thing about the new Netflix true crime movie Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey (which is not available as of the time of this writing on Netflix in the US, but is available to watch in the US via video on demand). This movie, about the horrific kidnapping and rape of a teenage girl in the 1980s by a serial killer in Florida, is so traumatizing that merely reading the Wikipedia summary of the movie is enough to leave you in a horrified daze.
It's not only because of what this young girl went through at the hands of a serial killer. But once she was able to use reverse psychology to get herself free and race home to try and tell the adults in her life, and eventually the police, about what happened, no one believed her. This is actually a Lifetime movie originally released back in 2018, and it's a testament to the scale of Netflix that a previously released title like this can generate renewed interest from viewers in a feedback loop of attention that the streamer easily brings to older fare. To wit: The movie was released on Netflix a few days ago in the UK and immediately shot to the #1 spot on the top 10 list of Netflix films for the region.
