7 Must-See Thrillers on Netflix Right Now (April 2025)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Ethan Hawke, Riley Keough and Maika Monroe star in the must-see thrillers on Netflix in April

The vast majority of the movie centers on LAPD officer Joe Baylor ( Jake Gyllenhaal) in a single location as the story plays out through his phone calls. The Good Nurse is loosely based on a true story about Amy Loughren ( Jessica Chastain), a single mother who works at a hospital alongside a new colleague, Charles Cullen ( Eddie Redmayne). Gerald’s Game is a different kind of horror thriller than Stephen King usually writes, and director Mike Flanagan draws out a lot of tension for a story where the main character is handcuffed to a bed for almost its entire duration.
