Dan Stevens stars as Thomas, a traumatized and formerly institutionalized man who initially appears to be playing out a variation on Robin Hardy\u2019s 1973 classic&nbsp;<em>The Wicker Man<\/em>. The year is 1905, and Thomas is trying to infiltrate a remote Welsh island run by an obscure cult, which appears to have kidnapped his sister. He doesn\u2019t know much about their beliefs, but he has to pose as one of them and investigate the island while keeping his own considerable demons at bay just long enough to save his sister\u2019s life. And the more he learns about the place where he\u2019s landed, the darker and eerier the film gets. This one\u2019s perfect Halloween-month viewing: bloody as hell and startling right up to the final shot. But it\u2019s also a crackerjack investigative thriller, an unraveling grim mystery that probably would have been better left unsolved. \u2014<em>Tasha Robinson<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"YX7s8U\">Athena<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8-great-thrillers-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now-2.jpg\" alt=\"A large group of protestors stand atop a building looking down in Athena\" title=\"A large group of protestors stand atop a building looking down in Athena\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Netflix\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to think of a scene more singularly electrifying and incredible than the one that opens <em>Athena<\/em>. This movie, about a police raid on a fictional French neighborhood, opens with a group of teens raiding a police station, starting a small riot, and stealing the cops\u2019 guns, and it only grows bigger and more intense from there. Technically the scene is a oner, but rather than showy, the scene\u2019s lack of visible cuts feels like a necessity, as if a single break from this one camera angle that\u2019s deftly following the group\u2019s leader might cause us to miss something critical. Almost as impressive as this singe scene is the fact that <em>Athena <\/em>is able to sustain this same momentum and nervy, furious energy throughout the entire movie as the police and the rebels clash with the same operatic intensity as a Greek epic.\u00a0\u2014<em>Austen Goslin<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carry-On<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8-great-thrillers-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now-3.jpg\" alt=\"Jason Bateman on a plane in Carry-On\" title=\"Jason Bateman on a plane in Carry-On\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Netflix\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the holiday season, and for many people that means time with the family and an endless hunt for a movie everyone can agree on. Thankfully, this year, Netflix has made the choice easy with its new Christmas-tinged release: <em>Carry-On<\/em>. It\u2019s an old-school action thriller that\u2019s exactly good enough to get the whole family on board, no matter what their tastes are like. The plot follows Taron Egerton as a TSA agent who gets threatened by a terrorist into letting a dangerous bag through security. Fortunately, he doesn\u2019t take that threat lying down, kicking off a cat-and-mouse game of airport intrigue that\u2019s tense, silly, and extremely entertaining. \u2014<em>AG<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rl77DO\">Lost Bullet<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8-great-thrillers-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now.png\" alt=\"Alban Lenoir&nbsp;as Lino peeling around a corner in his red muscle car in Lost Bullet.\" title=\"Alban Lenoir&nbsp;as Lino peeling around a corner in his red muscle car in Lost Bullet.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Netflix\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This French crime thriller executes a simple premise to absolute perfection. Lino (former stunt man Alban Lenoir) is an expert mechanic forced to work for dirty cops. When he\u2019s framed for a murder he did not commit, he has to find the one thing that can prove his innocence: a lost bullet in a missing car. With high-octane action sequences and great car stunts, this is a 92-minute thrill ride through and through \u2014 and the sequel rules, as well. <em>\u2014Pete Volk<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"JalRsd\">Mersal<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8-great-thrillers-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now-4.jpg\" alt=\"Vijay wears a short-sleeve button-up white shirt, with a white undershirt and a necklace.

This car-based thriller follows a young woman (Caren Pistorius) who is having a terrible day. She woke up late and now her whole schedule is behind, including dropping her son (Gabriel Bateman) off at school and trying to get to her job on time. In her harried rush to work, she honks at the driver of a massive pickup truck. Unfortunately for her, the driver of his truck happens to be a very dangerous man (Russell Crowe) who just finished murdering his wife, and he decides he needs to teach her a lesson next. It\u2019s an absolutely terrifying ride that might make you think twice before you honk at a red light.&nbsp;\u2014<em>AG<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whiplash<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8-great-thrillers-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Whiplash <\/em>follows a gifted jazz drummer, Andrew (Miles Teller), who gets into the college jazz band of his dreams, only to find out that the man running the program demands absolute commitment and perfection from his musicians and is willing to do almost anything to get it.
