New on Netflix UK and US in January 2017: From A Series of Unfortunate Events to Frontier

Plus our five picks of the best

The new year is here and, after overdoing it in December, you're probably looking for an excuse to stay indoors for the remainder of January.

Netflix is on hand to help - this month sees a crop of new additions to the streaming service in both the UK and US.

Below, we've selected the five best titles you should look out for ranging from foreign films you no doubt missed at the cinema to your new favourite Netflix Original properties.

Suburra - 5 January

Suburra is an Italian-French crime noir, based on the book by Giancarlo De Cataldo and Carlo Bonini, which tells the story of a gruelling battle between corrupt politicians, religious leaders and hardened mafiosos in a small town outside of Rome. The little-seen gem from Stefano Sollima (the man behind upcoming Sicario sequel Soldado) demands to be seen ahead of its 10-part TV series continuation on Netflix later this year.

Under the Shadow - 7 January

This horror film set in war-torn Tehran follows a mother and daughter who become convinced their apartment is being haunted by a supernatural force. Atmospheric as hell - and featuring an irresistible performance from Narges Rashidi - Under the Shadow is best watched with the lights out; just don't expect to sleep anytime soon afterward.

Drag Me To Hell - 11 January

The Evil Dead director Sam Raimi returned to his horror roots with Drag Me To Hell (2011), a film which sees Alison Lohman's protagonist evict the wrong woman from her home. With a curse placed upon her, it seems she doesn't have long before her soul becomes eternally damned. A horror-comedy worthy of your time if only for the brilliantly succinct final scene.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - 13 January

Yet another adaptation of Daniel Handler's best-selling children's novels follows the Baudelaire orphans as they find themselves perpetually hounded by Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris), a mysterious and sinister figure hell-bent on landing their inherited fortune. The eight-part season looks set to be an improvement on the 2004 Jim Carrey film of the same name.

Frontier - 20 January

This historical drama - shot in dazzling 4K - stars Aquaman actor Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) as an outlaw attempting to disrupt the Hudson Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade in Canada. With a second season already confirmed, Frontier's guaranteed to be a huge hit.
