These days, Netflix is focusing more on the movies with original content. Several mega-budget films left the streaming giant earlier this month, including “The Prestige,” ”A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and “Sand Castle.” The good news is that these movies will return next week.

‘The Prestige’

“The Prestige” is a 2006 thriller film directed and co-produced by Christopher Nolan. The story and dialogues are penned by Jonathan and Nolan. The film is inspired by a novel of the same name by Christopher Priest. Its story revolves around two rival magicians, Robert and Alfred, who create a mess for each other.

Obsessed with creating the most outstanding stage illusion, they learn new magic tricks.

Hugh Jackman portrays Robert, and Christian Bale appears as Alfred. The film also features David Bowie, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis, and Michael Caine. Wally Pfister served as the cinematographer, while Nathan Crowley, David Julyan, and Lee Smith composed its score. The movie was released in 2006 and grossed over $500 million.

‘Sand Castle’

“Sand Castle” will premiere on Netflix this weekend.

This American drama film is directed and co-produced by Fernando Coimbra. The cast includes Logan Marshall, Tommy Flanagan, Henry Cavill, Nicholas Hoult, Neil Brown, and Beau Knapp.

The story revolves around a rifleman, Matt, who is tasked to save innocents in Iraq.

He fights against criminals and protects the locals from the evil mission. The movie is based on the true events of the Iraq War. In May 2016 Netflix acquired the US distribution rights to the movie.

‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’

“A Nightmare on Elm Street” is returning to Netflix this Saturday. It is one of the most successful films of 1984.

The American thriller is directed and written by Wes Craven, and featured John Saxon, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, and Ronee Blakley in the leading roles. Amanda Wyss and Jsu Garcia played supporting characters in this film. It was developed with an estimated budget of $1.6 million, and earned over $35 million at the United States box office.

The story is about a teenage girl, Tina Gray, who is afraid of a disfigured man wearing black gloves. Meanwhile, her mom points out several strangers in the backyard. Tina discusses the matter with her friends, Nancy and Glen. The three decide to get rid of the unrecognized men, but it’s not an easy task.
