The most terrifying monsters are often human ones. Two thrillers on Prime Video and Netflix, Saltburn and The Occupant, masterfully explore the dark and dangerous side of human obsession.
On Prime Video, Saltburn is a visually stunning and deeply unsettling drama. It stars Barry Keoghan as an Oxford student who becomes infatuated with a rich, charismatic classmate. An invitation to the friend’s family estate, Saltburn, unleashes a twisted tale of desire, envy, and psychological manipulation.
On Netflix, The Occupant presents a chilling story of obsession born from lost status. This Spanish thriller follows a once-wealthy executive (Javier Gutiérrez) who, unable to accept his new life, uses his old house keys to stalk the new family living there. His envy soon turns into a terrifying, methodical plot.
For more thrills, you can also stream the apocalyptic Bird Box (Netflix), the sci-fi 10 Cloverfield Lane (Prime Video), the gritty Havoc (Netflix), the action-packed Interceptor (Netflix), and the spy drama Black Bag (Prime Video).
