Netflix Turned The Kissing Booth Into a Horror Movie, and Dear God, It's So Creepy

Updated on Nov 1, 2018 at 6:50 PM

Netflix's The Kissing Booth delighted viewers over the Summer when it proved to be one of the best bad movies the streaming service had ever released (A Christmas Prince is stiff competition, after all). But now, in honor of Halloween, Netflix decided to take the storyline from so-bad-it's-scary to just plain scary with a creepy new trailer. Instead of a love story between Elle (Joey King) and Noah (Jacob Elordi), The Kissing Booth now sees the couple facing a threat from Noah's younger brother, Lee (Joel Courtney), who seems dead set on tearing them apart (metaphorically, but also maybe literally). Check it out, if you dare!

Suddenly Elle and Noah's relationship seems MUCH more sinister . . .

Innocent notes passed in class? More like creepy warnings.

Noah? You OK, my dude?

The real twist, though, is that apparently LEE is the villain of this version of The Kissing Booth.

The "girls never go for the nice guy" complaint come to life, basically.
