The Best Thrillers to Binge on Netflix This Month
As we kick off the new year, it’s time to shake off the holiday cobwebs and dive into some thrilling new shows and movies on Netflix. Every month, we handpick a selection of the most exciting, pulse-pounding, and thought-provoking thrillers that align with the current season. Sometimes these pair perfectly with an upcoming release, while others are new additions to the platform.
Our Top Pick: The Good Shepherd
Directed by the legendary Robert De Niro, this slow-burning drama follows the birth of the CIA and the moral dilemmas faced by its agents. Starring Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Alec Baldwin, The Good Shepherd is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by Cold War-era spycraft and professional backstabbing. With a runtime of nearly three hours, this film may be a commitment, but it’s well worth the investment.
More Thrilling Options:
• The Call (Dir. Lee Chung-hyun, Stars Park Shin-hye, Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Sung-ryung) – This South Korean sci-fi thriller follows a young woman who discovers a mysterious phone that connects her to a woman from the past, leading to a thrilling game of cat and mouse across different realities.
• Creep (Dir. Patrick Brice, Stars Mark Duplass, Patrick Brice) – In this found-footage horror film, a filmmaker agrees to help a mysterious stranger create a goodbye letter to his unborn son, only to discover that the circumstances behind his project are not what they seem. A genuinely unsettling and offbeat psychological horror experience.
Whether you’re a fan of Cold War espionage, sci-fi thrills, or psychological horror, we’ve got you covered. So grab some popcorn, get cozy, and settle in for a thrilling month of entertainment on Netflix.
