Yesterday, Netflix added 17 films alongside the debut of Mindy Kaling’s new series Never Have I Ever, marking a pretty big release day for the service. Today, the platform is getting a few more drops, though none of them nearly as substantial as a few of the larger offerings earlier in the month.
If you’re in the mood for a love story though, the Italian show Summertime comes in at a lean 8 episodes, making it a good weekend binge. If you’re looking for something a bit more dramatic and engaging, meanwhile, Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story is a crime documentary about the conviction of a 16-year-old and her subsequent commutation of a life sentence that led to her release years later.
Here’s the full list of what arrived today:

Netflix is adapting a popular Korean zombie apocalypse webtoon into an original series, Deadline reported on Monday. The show, tentatively titled All Of Us Are Dead, constitutes one of several Korean language productions the streaming giant had ordered back in September.
Based on the webtoon Now At Our School, Netflix’s All Of Us Are Dead will follow a band of teenagers trapped inside their high school facility while a zombie-like disease begins to spread rapidly among the student body. The webtoon – a kind of digitally published comic strip unique to Korean markets – has received critical and commercial acclaim throughout the country. More recently, it’s also done well in Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan, where the genre is growing in popularity.
All Of Us Are Dead will be written by Chun Sung-il, who’s penned a number of successful Korean films including 2014’s The Pirates, as well as some television...

Extracurricular is a new horror film from production house September 17 Studio and director Ray Xue (Transcendent). It's got a Bret Easton Ellis vibe that I'm digging.
Samuel Goldwyn Films are set to menace us with the thriller on January 17th, when Extracurricular hits most online digital platforms.
The film was written by Matthew Abrams and Padgett Arango. Together, these filmmakers have created a unique horror film, one which brings several high-school students together for a common bloody purpose. Reminiscent of the Leopold and Loeb killers, Extracurricular’s story involves a murder-for-fun club, leading to one terrifying night.
Synopsis:
Four overachieving high school friends have a secret pastime: planning and executing murders.

Four high school seniors feel their day-to-day lives at school are getting a little dull. So they made a pact to plan and execute a series of perfect, elaborate murders and get some thrills behind them before heading off to college. However when their latest homicidal plan hits some unexpected speed bumps, the situation turns deadly, violent and bloody.
In the same vein as Tragedy Girls, Extracurricular essentially tells that same story as The Strangers (and a multitude of other home invasion/slasher movies) but from the perspective of the masked killers rather than their victims. That these killers happen to be a small group of high-school kids only adds to the depth of this particular tale… and one that...
