If you’re in the mood for action-thrillers, on Prime I’d recommend Sicario and Prisoners (both tense and layered), and on Netflix Nightcrawler and The Guilty are solid picks if you like more psychological tension than straight action. Also, if you’re open to something a little different — more claustrophobic and character-driven than explosions and car chases — Day of a Lion (on Prime & Apple TV) leans into psychological thriller territory with a very tense sisterhood story. Not the usual action beats, but definitely the kind of film that lingers after. We have even posted the extended trailer on our profile. Would love to know your views on it.

August 22, 2025[Request] Best thriller movies on netflix that have mindblowing plot twists?
I highly recommend "director chasing" meaning, if you like a movie by a director, check out their other stuff. I really liked "Ex Machina" dir by Alex Garland which led me to "Annihilation" (both fit your criteria). I loved "Se7en" dir by David Fincher so I checked out all his other movies, my favorites being his version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Game" (social network and fight club also classics, can't really go wrong with him). I LOVED "Arrival" dir by Denis Villeneuve which led me to all his terrific movies. You mentioned "Interstellar" I would recommend Nolan's 2nd movie "Memento", big ol twist in that one. Another that would fit the bill is "Shutter Island" dir by the legend himself Martin Scorsese. Could find a number of great films there too. Hope this helps.

The 10 Best Netflix Original Thriller Movies, Ranked
June 28, 2025 - Considering how director Jaume Collet-Serra released a wide array of great action thrillers throughout the 2010s, Carry-On is not only a return to form for him as a director, but also a return to form for the genre as a whole. The airport setting simply works perfectly for this type of race-against-time thriller, with compelling characters and an array of twists and turns making the film a very entertaining crowdpleaser. Audiences certainly appreciated this return to form, as Carry-On quickly became one of Netflix's biggest successes of recent memory.

2 weeks ago - Is a movie set at Christmas in itself a Christmas movie? That debate has surged around Die Hard for decades. Now Carry-On asks the same question. A zippy thriller from House of Wax and Black Adam director Jaume Collet-Serra, this sees TSA agent Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton) caught in the Christmas Eve shift from hell when he’s blackmailed by a mercenary known only as the Traveler (Jason Bateman) into allowing a deadly package through security.
