We're talking about a Netflix release that, despite arriving quietly, has managed to top the list of most-watched films on the aforementioned streaming platform.
Which German film is sweeping Netflix without any promotion?Can you imagine not being able to leave your house because a mysterious giant brick wall prevents you from doing so? Well, that's what happens to the protagonists of The Black Wall (2025), the German film that's sweeping Netflix Spain and 47 other countries.

As if that weren't enough, it also leads Netflix 's global top 10 after two weeks. And it hasn't received the promotion of other, more expensive productions like Electric State (2025).
Trailer and synopsis for The Black Wall, the German film that's sweeping Netflix."When a mysterious brick wall unexpectedly appears around their building, Tim ( Matthias Schweighöfer ) and Olivia ( Ruby O. Fee) must work with their neighbors to find a way out," the official synopsis reads.
" Nobody knows where the brick wall came from ... but everyone knows there is no way out," added the Netflix Latin America account after sharing the trailer on X (formerly Twitter ).
Cast and reviews of The Black Wall: "A failed work"In addition to Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of Thieves ) and Ruby O. Fee ( Polar ), we can see Frederick Lau ( Victoria ), Salber Lee Williams ( Losgelassen ), Murathan Muslu ( Hinterland ), Sira-Anna Faal ( Jonja ) and Alexander Beyer ( Good Bye, Lenin! ), among other notable actors.
"The approach of the German film The Black Wall from Netflix is novel and interesting, but after an intense and very attractive start it gradually loses steam with crude and sometimes ridiculous situations, which diminish its validity. It remains a notoriously failed work ," tweeted an X user, where a division of opinions can be seen.
" It's a good way to pass the time , but it seems like it was written by a teenager who was too lazy to justify the story and develop the characters. It's very strange that this '70s-style thing about people being locked in one place is becoming fashionable again," wrote another internet user.
"What a tense film, it's great, but I found it lacking in some things" and "It's the most perfect film I've ever seen" are other opinions circulating on the aforementioned social network.
Brick (its original title) had a 4.8 out of 10 rating on FilmAffinity and a 5.4 on IMDb on July 24th. Masterpiece or sleep-deprived movie? Spend the next hour and a half of your life finding out for yourself.
