Locke & Key comes to Netflix in February (Picture: Netflix)

Based on the American comic book series by Joe Hill, Locke & Key is an exciting new horror-fantasy series - which is now on Netflix.

The narrative focuses on three siblings who move to a new home after the brutal murder of their father.

Upon exploring the ancestral home, the youngest of the three children, Bode, hears a whisper coming from the bottom of a dis-used well.

The whisper then takes a physical form, telling Bode he must discover a set of magical keys, which will unlock all kinds wonderful worlds. Of course, all is not what it seems.
