3 Best Thrillers On Netflix This Week (Jan 27 – Feb 2)

Here is your guide to the best thrillers on Netflix at the moment.

All of the films for this round-up are quite new, featuring intense stories and gripping performances.

Unhinged (2020)

Russell Crowe delivers a chilling performance in Unhinged, showcasing a stark contrast to his more playful role as Father Gabriele Amorth in The Pope’s Exorcist. In this film, Crowe portrays a man who begins the story by murdering his ex-wife and setting her house on fire. Shortly after, a single mother, Rachel (Caren Pistorius), honks her horn at him while he blocks traffic in his truck. This seemingly minor interaction triggers a terrifying road rage incident that quickly spirals out of control, making Rachel his relentless target.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Smart and insidious, The Autopsy of Jane Doe gets under your skin. The body of an unidentified woman found at the scene of a crime is taken to a small-town coroner for an urgent autopsy. So, late at night, the coroner and his son perform an autopsy to try to find the woman’s cause of death, but they end up uncovering a dark, occult mystery hidden within the woman’s body.

The Platform 2 (2024)

The Platform 2 takes the premise of its predecessor, The Platform, and expands the themes of its world in an interesting way. Like the original, this sequel is set within a prison-like facility called The Pit in which prisoners are housed in small concrete rooms stacked on top of each other for hundreds of floors. Each day, a platform containing just enough food for everyone lowers through The Pit, but if the food isn’t rationed correctly, the people on the lower levels will starve. In this film, the society of The Pit has taken the form of a kind of theocracy, and Perempuán (Milena Smit), a new prisoner, must quickly learn to navigate the politics and loyalties of her fellow prisoners if she hopes to survive.
