Nothing is more exciting than having a distraction that can touch any emotions you’re feeling. It’s called being spoiled for choice, it gets better with Netflix.

So, if you are up for the ride, sit back and take a look at this quick list of five must-watch, high-powering thrillers that will leave you gape and glued to your screen to the very last scene.

Uncut Gems

• Year- 2019
• Genre- Crime, Drama, Thriller

If you feel like you’re looking for that kind of movie that’s all about the hunt and the hunting, this is definitely the one as Adam Sandler; your go-to-guy for a good laugh, takes a spin on his role in this flick and walks us through the world of hustle, gang wars and family love. You will get shook off your seat with this one.

Gerald’s Game

• Year-2017
• Genre- Drama, Horror, Thriller

GERALD’S GAME: Ever heard of the word romance gone bad? Yea sounds familiar but don’t be too sure because when a writer like Stephen King adapts his work into pictures, you know it won’t be business as usual. This movie is a mix of the psycho/logical interface where emotions are toyed with. You will find yourself asking; ‘what would I have done?’ This is your dose of steamy-scary on a Plata. 

Nightcrawler

• Year- 2014
• Genre- Crime, Drama, Thriller

When you think you have seen the best of Jake Gyllenhaal in movies like Donnie Darko and Prisoners think again, because he always brings suspense back and this movie is no exception. Not one of his recent works, but a must-watch as the weird and worrisome are notched together and spilling over in every scene. This is a selection that starts off straightforward but will railroad you to a whole new dimension with its gripping suspense. You won’t be satisfied until you connect the dots.

Da Five Bloods

• Year- 2020
• Genre- Drama, War, Adventure

 A fan of black history and the whole bromance bond? Then this has to be the choice for you. Also, it reminisces the work from one of the great actors of our time; Chadwick Boseman. This one is all about the fight for survival and it’s the thrill of the journey that will get you sung in with every dialogue and connecting to all the characters. You will get a feel of the action, emotion, suspense, love and a whole lot more just sitting with the guys and watching this.

Fractured

It’s a high-suspense thriller and not only are you likely to dip your hands in an empty popcorn pack before the movie goes halfway, but you will be glad to have watched this mental play of action and reaction. Fractured is a 2019 psychological reminder of how a joy ride can turn sour with the unknown. This flick will keep you guessing as everyone becomes a suspect. 

These selections are only but a chip of the iceberg when it comes to Netflix originals. They aren’t just a must-watch list but your side dish from a huge menu you can’t afford to pass on.
