Psychological Thrills and Murder Mysteries Abound
Netflix is also premiering The Woman in Cabin 10 on October 10, 2025. Starring Keira Knightley in the lead role, this psychological thriller is based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel.

The film combines mystery, isolation, and suspense for a chilling viewing experience.
Another compelling thriller hitting the streaming world is Search: The Naina Murder Case.
