An exquisitely crafted and thoroughly unnerving chiller, writer/director Babak Anvari's feature debut blurs the line between supernatural terror and the horrors of the real world like few films you'll ever see. Set in 1980's Tehran during The War of the Cities—the backdrop of Anvari's own fear-ridden childhood—Narges Rashidistars as medical student...
Directed by Daniel Goldhaber, this Netflix original is about an adult webcam performer who discovers a sinister presence has taken her place on the internet. Cam has some truly frightening moments, and it examines the subject matter of sex work with appropriate care and thought. Most notably, it showcases a head-turning lead performance by The Hand...
A year after she, frankly, stunned us with her turn as a Scottish bad-girl-turned-country-singer in Wild Rose, Jessie Buckley starred in Charlie Kaufman's darkly comic psychological thriller. Based on a 2016 novel of the same name, I'm Thinking of Ending Things follows a young couple on a road trip. The film is arguably a little too smart for its o...
A career-high performance from the always-good Carla Gugino is front-and-center in Mike Flanagan’s Netflix original, a Stephen Kingadaptation about a woman who ends up handcuffed to a bed in the middle of nowhere when her husband drops dead. This is pure, high-concept psychological terror—not spooky, but gripping—and the ick factor is high.
Remi Weekes’ acclaimed supernatural horror debut follows South Sudanese refugees adjusting to a perilous life in small-town Europe. Like The Babadook or Under the Shadow, this is horror as dramatic art rather than a series of things that jump out and go boo. The real-world subject matter is twisted and devastating, all strikingly performed by leads...
Fair Play is the most taught, brilliantly scripted erotic thriller to be released in years. Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor and Solo: A Star Wars Story's Alden Ehrenreich star as an engaged couple who just so happen to work for the same toxic hedge fund. When a senior position opens up, however, the competition begins to drive a wedge in their seemingl...
In David Fincher's assassin drama, Michael Fassbender plays a hired killer who completes his work with methodical precision. When a job goes wrong, however, and the people who hired him are now trying to take him out, "the killer" must track down and murder the very people keeping him employed in order to save his own life. Several great action seq...
A box-office hit and sign of good things to come from Mike Flanagan, Origin of Evil is about a million times better than its predecessor Ouija, and about 10 times better than you'd expect a movie called Ouija: Origin of Evil to be. The supernatural thriller is about a widow, her family's fake seance business, and a malevolent spirit that attaches i...
Though Australian director Cate Shortland‘s adaptation of Melanie Joosten‘s novel about a tourist imprisoned by a handsome teacher after a passionate one-night stand is a thriller (quite heart-pounding at times), and much of the woman’s mistreatment is extremely hard to watch, this highly absorbing psychological drama stands out because it’s all ab...
One of the greatest television shows in history got a worthy coda when three-time Emmy winner Aaron Paul returned as interminably suffering drug kingpin Jesse Pinkman in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The highly anticipated follow-up to Vince Gilligan‘s crime saga Breaking Badis a Netflix original. There's undeniably fan service at play here, but...

- Bird Box (2018) Sight becomes a handicap in Bird Box, a post-apocalyptic thriller where the enemy must go unseen, or else. Sandra Bullock stars as Malorie Hayes, a woman responsible for transporting two young children down a river while wearing blindfolds, a strategy intended to help the survivors avoid seeing the entities that attacked Earth five years earlier, and who cause those who look upon them to commit suicide.
- The Devil All The Time (2020) A Netflix original and period thriller, The Devil All the Time explores several interconnected groups of people living in two small towns in Southern Ohio between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s.
- Dragged Across Concrete (2019) As police brutality becomes an increasingly urgent topic of conversation, films and television shows have received criticism from viewers and the media for glamorizing law enforcement.
- El Camino (2019) The best meth cook in Albuquerque is back, bitch. Breaking Bad's Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) return for El Camino, a film based on AMC's beloved show, with far more attention paid to Pinkman's character.
