This winter, the best thrillers on streaming are all about high-concept terror and dark, personal obsession. From the psychological games of Saltburn to the apocalyptic survival of Bird Box, here are seven top films on Netflix and Prime Video.
On Prime Video, Saltburn is a must-see. Barry Keoghan plays an Oxford student who becomes infatuated with his rich friend, leading to a twisted summer at a sprawling country estate.
On Netflix, Bird Box remains a hit. Sandra Bullock stars as a mother fighting for survival in a world where a mysterious entity causes suicide on sight, forcing a terrifying blindfolded journey.
Prime Video also offers 10 Cloverfield Lane, a claustrophobic sci-fi film where a woman is trapped in a bunker, and Black Bag, a spy thriller where Michael Fassbender must investigate his wife (Cate Blanchett).
Netflix’s lineup includes Havoc, a gritty Tom Hardy crime drama; Interceptor, a high-action nuclear thriller starring Elsa Pataky; and The Occupant, a chilling Spanish film about a man obsessed with his old life.
