Ari Aster's horror film was widely buzzed about for some of its graphic and truly unexpected moments. It follows a couple who go away with some friends to a seemingly-harmless Swedish festival, but then they wind up at a cult and everything starts getting bizarre from there.

Some were calling it one of the most disturbing films they ever saw, which probably intrigued people to Google exactly what the film was about. People were also excited the film was called a companion to Aster's previous release, "Hereditary."

5. "The Lion King"

Walt Disney Studios

Director Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Jungle Book") used a mix of virtual reality, CGI, and photoreal imagery to bring his "Lion King" remake to life.
