The beginning of a given month usually sees recently added licensed movies dominating the Top 10 on Netflix, and that is mostly the case in February. Most of the titles in Thursday's edition of the rotating Top 10 Movies list on the streamer are popular films from the last decade or two that were just added to the lineup at the top of the month. Despicable Me, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, The Hangover, and The Other Guys all find themselves on the list. But a new horror film from Netflix is starting to rise through the ranks.

The Privilege, a German thriller from directors Felix Fuchssteiner and Katharina Schode, made its world debut on Netflix on Wednesday, February 9th. The horror/thriller tells the story of a group of teenagers at a private school that uncover a dark conspiracy and start encountering supernatural dangers.

Just one day after its debut on Netflix, The Privilege started rising through the ranks of the streaming service's most popular movies. Thursday's edition of the list features The Privilege at number four overall, behind The Tinder Swindler and a couple of Despicable Me movies.
