14 Must-Watch Thrillers on Netflix Right Now (August 2025)

Every now and then, Netflix will drop an original movie so good that it outshines the other Netflix originals by a wide margin. This month, the film that lives up to that standard is Night Always Comes, a thriller starring Vanessa Kirby. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of fresh thrillers to choose from beyond that film, save for Bordertown, a 2007 thriller starring Jennifer Lopez. You can find these films and more among the Watch With Us team’s picks for the must-see thrillers on Netflix right now. Need more recommendations?
