Are you looking for an exciting movie to watch? We have listed the best thrillers on Netflix here for you! Excitement guaranteed.
10. Don’t Breathe
Don’t Breathe is one of the best thrillers on Netflix anyway! Three burglars think they have an easy shot at an old blind veteran who lives in a remote neighborhood where he is almost alone. This soon goes completely wrong when the best man (played superbly by Stephen Lang) turns out to be a terrifying badass. They definitely picked the wrong house. Netflix also has a ton of True Crime documentaries if you want to see more crime on your screen.
9. Triple Frontier
Five former Special Forces soldiers decide to rob an elusive drug lord in Brazil of his fortune. But deep in the jungle, greed, paranoia and rivalry are driving the brothers-in-arms further and further apart. Triple Frontier is a heist film that is as smooth as it is entertaining, which is also blessed with top actors such as Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunham. Not only one of the best thrillers on Netflix, but also one of the best action movies on Netflix!
8. The Invitation
7. Prisoners
In Prisoners, Hugh Jackman plays a father who is driven to despair after his daughter disappears without a trace. A possible suspect is soon arrested, but is released due to lack of evidence. However, the father is determined to uncover the truth… with horrific consequences. Director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) made Prisoners one of the most grim thrillers of this century. You have been warned…
6. Panic Room
Meg (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) are attacked by a gang of burglars in their new home. Fortunately, their new home is equipped with a ‘panic room’, a secret hiding room full of technical gadgets. But it doesn’t take long for the invaders to realize that they are not alone… What follows is an intense cat-and-mouse game on the square meter of genre expert David Fincher (Seven). Definitely one of the best thrillers on Netflix.
5. Basic Instinct
In this controversial blockbuster by Paul Verhoeven, Detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) falls in love with the prime suspect in a gruesome murder case (Sharon Stone). The psychological game between the detective and the femme fatale results in a blistering erotic thriller. The scene in which Stone upsets her interrogators during an interrogation by giving them a peek under her dress became an instant classic!
4. Uncut Gems
Adam Sandler usually stars in pleasantly crazy comedies, but in Uncut Gems he goes for more serious work. He plays slimy diamond salesman Howard Ratner who imports a rare opal to pay off his gambling debts. However, the gambling addict cannot stop playing games and puts himself in increasingly dangerous situations to get his money back. Uncut Gems is so exciting that you’ll run out of nails once the credits roll. This good thriller is exclusively on Netflix and makes it to the list of the 10 best films of 2020.
3. You Were Never Really Here
Joaquin Phoenix can make any movie exciting with his intense acting. Luckily for him, the rest of this film – one of the best thrillers on Netflix – is already more than enough to be among the best. You were never really here is about Joe (Phoenix), a war veteran who tracks down kidnapped children. However, his latest job spirals out of control and plunges Joe into a post-traumatic nightmare.
2. No Country for Old Men
Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) stars in this brooding thriller from the Coen brothers as a poacher who finds a $2 million briefcase in the desert. But he doesn’t enjoy it much: the owner hires a cold-blooded killer to recover the money. No Country for Old Men has won no less than four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (for Javier Bardem as one of the greatest hitmen in film history).
1. Se7en
Two detectives (played by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt) face a series of gruesome murders. The perpetrator seems to draw inspiration from the seven deadly sins… and that means his work is far from over! A quarter of a century after its release, Se7en still hits like a punch in the stomach thanks to the shocking finale.
