In one of the film’s earliest unintentionally hilarious moments, the lawyer surprises everyone by appearing for the first hearing via video call, without even informing the prosecution, the judge, or even his client that he was going to pull the stunt. Jacqueline Fernandez in a still from Mrs Serial Killer, the new Netflix India film. Convinced that her husband is innocent, Sona drives up to the old lawyer’s mansion and discovers that he’s on his deathbed, living out his final days in a room that looks like a Thai strip club.

If she messes up - as she tends to - and allows you to escape, you’ll return to her lair. She could even torture you first you’ll let her. You’d be willing to come quietly, without putting up any struggle at all. Much before Mrs Serial Killer even begins killing, you’d wish she just abandon going after her target and focus on you instead.
