We’ve curated a list of seven outstanding thrillers currently available on these streaming giants, perfect for a chilling winter evening.
First on Netflix is the apocalyptic tale Bird Box. Starring Sandra Bullock, this film is based on the 2014 novel and explores a world where a mysterious entity causes mass suicide upon being seen. The story follows Malorie (Bullock) as she attempts a perilous river journey with two children, all blindfolded, juxtaposed with flashbacks to the initial outbreak five years prior.
For sci-fi horror fans, 10 Cloverfield Lane on Prime Video is a must-see. This 2016 film traps its protagonist, Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), in a bunker with a man named Howard (John Goodman). Howard insists he saved her from a catastrophic event that has made the outside world uninhabitable. The tension builds as Michelle must decide if he’s a savior or a captor.
Prime Video also offers Black Bag, a unique spy thriller. Michael Fassbender stars as George, an MI6 agent tasked with rooting out suspected traitors. The plot thickens dramatically when his own wife, played by Cate Blanchett, appears on the list of suspects, leading to a suspense-filled confrontation.
Tom Hardy leads the cast of Havoc on Netflix. This gritty crime drama follows a detective searching for a politician’s missing son in the criminal underworld after a botched drug deal. The search forces him to confront his own complicated past, adding layers of personal conflict to the investigation.
Netflix’s Interceptor raises the stakes with a nuclear threat. Elsa Pataky plays an Army Captain who must defend a remote missile interceptor station against a coordinated attack. As stolen Russian nuclear weapons head for the US, she is the last line of defense, all while dealing with the fallout of a sexual misconduct report she filed.
On Prime Video, Saltburn offers a different kind of thrill. Barry Keoghan stars as an Oxford student who becomes infatuated with his wealthy, aristocratic friend. An invitation to his friend’s sprawling family estate for the summer unleashes a story of obsession, desire, and psychological manipulation.
Finally, The Occupant on Netflix is a chilling psychological drama. Javier Gutiérrez plays a once-successful executive who loses his lavish lifestyle. Unable to move on, he finds the keys to his old apartment and begins to obsessively insert himself into the lives of the new family living there, with terrifying consequences.
