Netflix's new horror movie, The Perfection, is making people physically ill with its graphic scenes and people can't stop talking about.

The film, which users across social media are warning people to watch blindly without reading a recap or watching the trailer, stars Logan Browning as a young musician, 'Lizzie,' and Allison Williams as a once-was musical prodigy, 'Charlotte.' 

Scenes causing visceral reactions include bugs crawling under Lizzie's skin, multiple bouts of throwing up, blood splattering on Charlotte's face, and a perfectly timed edit (at least in the trailer) of raw poultry being chopped with a cleaver.

The gore in the movie has led to self-reported migraines and vomiting from viewers who have called the story line 'sick' and 'twisted,' but online reviews have urged people to watch nonetheless.

Twitter user 'josh' wrote, 'just finished @netflix’s “The Perfection” and HOLY F**K. movie was absolutely incredible. was definitely sick, twisted, and had me cringe at a couple scenes. we NEED more movies like this.' 

Fans were enthralled with the latest release which dropped on the streaming service over Memorial Day Weekend in the US. 

But while people were captivated by the story's twists and turns, they were also nauseated by the imagery.

Throughout the film, the audience sees Lizzie projectile vomit leaving puke smeared across the window, and viewers witness what look like maggots crawling underneath the skin of her forearm.

In a separate scene, Lizzie endures a bout of diarrhea on a bus. And that's only the foul content associated with bodily functions, for the most part.

The film has been likened by critics to 'Get Out,' which also starred Williams, and 'Us,' while a person listed as 'Gaby' on social media drew a different comparison.

'The Perfection was literally Black Swan meets Get Out meets The Human Centipede on crack,' Gaby wrote.

For the uninitiated, Black Swan is a psychological thriller staring Natalie Portman and Mile Kunis, where the dark side of professional ballet is brought to light. 

In The Human Centipede, a 2009 Dutch horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Tom Six, a German surgeon kidnaps three tourists and joins them together surgically, mouth to anus, forming a 'human centipede.'

Hereditary was released in 2018, starring Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro and Gabriel Byrne, who play family members haunted after the death of their secretive grandmother.  

The Perfection, directed by Richard Shepard, has been available for streaming on Netflix since May 24, and comes highly recommended by the internet.

'THE PERFECTION on Netflix is so very much my jam,' wrote a user identified as Jeff Lyczak. 'Completely nutso in the best way. Maybe not for everyone. But if you go in, go in blind. No google. No trailers. Just let it take you along with it.'
