Netflix's latest "Knives Out" thriller explores faith and religion as detective Benoit Blanc investigates a murder in a Catholic Church over Easter weekend.
When Rian Johnson was still writing the script for his new "Knives Out" movie, he turned to his aunt and uncle for help. They are Catholic, and his latest murder mystery would take place in a Catholic church.
A Knives Out Mystery has landed on Netflix and fans are eager to find out where the third movie in the franchise was filmed.
The third outing for Benoit Blanc sees the detective investigate a murder in a church in upstate New York, but director Rian Johnson elected to film it halfway across the world. Nestled away in Epping Forest, Essex, the Holy Innocents Church at High Beach usually hosts a congregation of about 60 people.
Deriving its name from the U2 song from their Pop album, Wake Up Dead Man is a tale of religion and faith. It follows the investigation of the murder of a controversial priest, which, incidentally, occurs during Easter weekend (giving the title new meaning).
The best movies on Netflix include Oscar-worthy originals like May December and The Irishman, alongside enduring classics and indie hits.
