And their catalog is actually super small now. My wife and I watch a bunch of horror movies, and I think there's only like 20. They try to pad that number by pretending that foreign films are actually in English.

And they change the pictures around all the time to make you think it's something new, when in fact you've seen it before. And because it's bland as all fuck, you notice this like 45 minutes in.

It isn't just the cover art, they also A/B descriptions. And some of them are so different they're basically lies.

The tags especially are just made up.

I got a picture of Matt Smith on one horror movie about a black couple. He was in it for like 2 minutes. It wasn't terrible, but they're algorithms are basic bitch enough to just go "you white? here's a white man"

Trailers too. Gotta love ones that tell you absolutely nothing about the movie.
