5 best psychological thriller movies to stream on Netflix
Looking for a thriller movie full of intrigue, suspense and, perhaps most importantly, mind-bending twists? Then you'll want to comb through Netflix's sizeable library of psychological thrillers, but fair warning — there are more than a few subpar flicks in the mix. Fortunately, to save you some time, I've carefully combed through the streaming service's movie catalog and picked out the most compelling picks that deserve a spot on your watchlist. Each of the psychological thrillers on this list explores the darkest corners of the human psyche and will have you gripped from beginning to end. Some of these can be pretty stressful watches, as characters face deadly situations and even wonder if they're losing their grip on reality, but each one offers a highly satisfying journey by the very end. So, without further preamble, these are the five best psychological thriller movies on Netflix right now. 'Watcher' is one of the most effective thrillers I've seen in recent years. It plays on a sense of paranoia, and that uneasy feeling that you're being watched by somebody (or something), and after streaming it for the first time, I felt eyes on me just about everywhere I went. The movie centers on Julia (Maika Monroe), a young woman who's recently moved to Bucharest after her boyfriend takes a new job. Struggling to settle and feeling lonely in this foreign environment, her isolation turns to chilling discomfort when she believes a mysterious stranger is watching her. And adding to the horror, there's a serial killer on the loose as well. Could the two be connected? Monroe is the movie's biggest strength, with her committed performance drawing you into Lisa's plight, and the slowly building sense of terror is supremely effective. It all leads to a strong ending, which will stay with you long after the credits roll. Watch "The Watcher" on Netflix now I rank 'The Devil All the Time' as one of Netflix's most overlooked original movies. It was somewhat divisive at release, but I very much landed on the side of the fence that felt it was an engrossing watch, strengthened by serious star power delivering strong performances. Set in the mid-20th century, it follows a group of complex characters as their lives intertwine in interesting, unexpected and even sinister ways. It tackles a lot of heavy themes, and perhaps its most off-putting element is the lengthy 140-minute runtime. This is no easy watch. The somber movie demands your full attention and a bit of patience. Stick with it and you're rewarded with a thoughtful thriller with deeper themes to unspool. As for the cast, it includes Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Mia Wasikowska, and Jason Clarke. That's plenty of A-list names. Watch "The Devil All the Time" on Netflix now If you thought being seated next to a crying baby was the worst thing that could happen on a flight, think again. Lisa (Rachel McAdams) faces the trip from hell when she's seated next to Jackson (Cillian Murphy), who might look handsome, but is plotting something sinister. Jackson is part of a domestic terrorist plot with plans to assassinate a high-ranking government official, and Lisa's assistance is required to complete the mission. And let's just say, Jackson isn't exactly going to politely ask for her help, resorting to blackmail to force her to participate in the attempt on the life of the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. The claustrophobic setting of a flight really adds to the suspense here, and watching Lisa try to outmaneuver the man forcing her to participate in a murder is seriously engaging. It's also not a bad thing that the film boasts two credible stars in the leading roles. Watch "Red Eye" on Netflix now First things first, I am not talking about 2013's 'The Call' starring Halle Berry, which is also on Netflix (and very much not worth watching). Instead, I'm referring to the 2020 South Korean psychological thriller of the same name, which is packed full of twists and turns. A remake of a British movie called 'The Caller,' this chilling thriller with sci-fi elements, focuses on two women (Park Shin-hye and Jeon Jong-seo) who live in the same home, only 20 years apart. But the wrinkle is that these two can communicate across time via a telephone. And their strange connection might be key to changing their own fates. 'The Call' strays into chilling territory with some moments that are straight-up horror material, so it's not for the easily spooked. But if you can handle a few scares, its 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes should be enough to convince you to add it to your Netflix watchlist. Watch "The Call" on Netflix now In most thriller movies, when a ruthless killer is chasing the protagonist, they have two choices: run or hide. In 'Don't Move,' Iris (Kelsey Asbille) can't do either because she's been injected with a paralytic agent by her sinister tormentor (Finn Wittrock), and she must find a way to evade him as the drug slowly shuts her entire body down. It's a great setup for a thriller full of heart-pounding moments, and the tension is often ratcheted up to such an extreme degree that you'll be holding your breath alongside its heroine. The fact that Iris has a tragic backstory, which sees her struggle to find a reason to keep on going in the wake of losing her young son, only adds to the emotional stakes. The movie's biggest boon is Wittrock's deliciously unhinged performance as a sadistic stalker, and while 'Don't Move' plays a little fast and loose with its logic rules (Iris's ability to move seems governed mostly by the needs of the plot), it's, for the most part, a breathless thrill ride.

Lost 1976 Motörhead album set for release in June
Motörhead's lost 1976 album 'The Manticore Tapes' is finally set to be released. The record, set to drop on June 27, features the classic lineup of the late Lemmy Kilmister, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. It's named after Emerson, Lake and Palmer's famous Manticore Studio in Fulham, where the album was made. The unreleased songs will be available as an LP and CD, with alternate takes, instrumentals and early recordings of songs from their self-titled debut album and their 1979 album 'On Parole'. Fans can get their hands on a deluxe edition boasting a second disc with the live set Blitzkrieg on Birmingham '77, as well as a previously unreleased 7-inch containing two live performances.

The lost album is part of Motörhead's 50th anniversary celebrations. Late frontman Lemmy Kilmister is set to receive a statue in his hometown of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent as part of the milestone celebrations and to mark the 10th anniversary of his passing on December 28, 2015, at the age of 70. The two-meter-tall bronze sculpture, created by local artist Andy Edwards, depicts Lemmy in his iconic pose, singing into a microphone. The unveiling ceremony will feature a biker parade, guest speakers, and a 21-gun salute in Lemmy's honour. Some of his ashes - which have already been left at some of his favourite place around the world - will be interred within the statue, making it his final resting place.

Kelly Ripa's daughter celebrates year of 'pure magic' with British boyfriend
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' daughter, Lola Grace Consuelos, has celebrated "another year of pure magic" with her "heavenly" boyfriend, Cassius Kidston. It's unclear when the New Yorker began dating the 25-year-old Englishman, but they met while attending New York University. He was studying sports management, and she was working towards a degree in music and production. In an Instagram slideshow, Consuelos and Kidston can be seen hobnobbing at a posh outdoor event. In another shot, The Watcher songstress embraces her beau outside a building in Montalegre, Portugal. ADVERTISEMENT Lola also posted lots of solo shots of her "handsome" boyfriend relaxing on a sunlounger and stepping out in a tux. Last week, Consuelos enlisted Cassius to help her promote her upcoming single, Lola, with a TikTok video. The Roles singer, who moved to London last October, "cannot waitÚ for her EP to be released and credits her boyfriend as part of her success. "I think he's supportive in the way that my parents are, my friends are - just great advice, letting me do my thing," Lola gushed to E! News. "That's all you can really ask for because they're not singers, he's not a singer. I'm the singer here. So they all give me the advice that they can to the best of their ability." Since February, Kidston has been employed as a sports talent sales assistant. His father, Simon Kidston, is a multi-millionaire car dealer who splits his time between Dubai, London, Milan and Geneva.
