Movie buffs are getting one final opportunity to experience a film often hailed as “one of the greatest” supernatural flicks of all time, reports the Mirror US.

An accolade naming it: “Possibly one of the greatest supernatural films of all time” included further praise, expressing, “Sporting two of the most charismatic and photogenic stars of all time, at the peak of their careers, we have a story with no bad lines, no lapses in the arcs, and no time wasted. Just pure, engrossing, film pleasure from beginning to end.”
Echoing these reviews, another titled: “The most highly anticipated supernatural horror film of my life!”.

Constantine, which loosely drew inspiration from the DC Comics/Vertigo Comics Hellblazer graphic novels, starred Keanu Reeves as the embattled exorcist John Constantine, outfitted with mystical abilities enabling him to converse with celestial entities including both angels and demons.
In the movie, an exorcist was brought in to assist a woman unraveling the mystery behind her twin sister’s suicide at a mental health facility, given her strong Catholic faith and belief that she wouldn’t damn herself to hell.
Amidst all this, Constantine was battling to prevent a revengeful angel from unleashing hell on Earth.
The film featured a star-studded cast including Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare.
Over time, Constantine has garnered a cult following and it was recently revealed that Reeves and director Francis Lawrence are inching closer to developing a sequel based on ideas from the comics.
Netflix is streaming the movie, but Constantine will be leaving come July 1.
There was also a Constantine TV series on The CW, which was part of the network’s DC Comics adaptations, alongside popular shows like The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow.
The TV show aired for one season between 2014 and 2015 and starred Matt Ryan as the titular character.
The series also starred Lucy Griffiths, Angélica Celaya, Charles Halford, and Harold Perrineau.
