The Malayalam thriller "Eko" is landing on Netflix this December 31.
Directed by Dinjith Ayyathan, the film first hit theaters in November and has quietly built a buzz for its moody, understated style.
To make sure everyone can join in, it's streaming in five languages—Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.

Low-budget hit explores fear and isolation

Despite a small ₹5 crore budget, "Eko" has pulled in over ₹50 crore at the box office—making it one of this year's surprise Malayalam successes.
