Image - YouTube Tehran – John Abraham’s Spy Thriller on Netflix Review:   Tehran  (2025), directed by Arun Gopalan and streaming on  Netflix , is a layered  Indian spy action thriller  starring John Abraham, Neeru Bajwa, and Manushi Chhillar.

  Image - YouTube Saare Jahan Se Accha – A Spy Thriller That Almost Soars Review:  Saare Jahan Se Accha  on Netflix is a six-episode Hindi espionage thriller that blends patriotism, intelligence wars, and personal sacrifice. Pratik Gandhi as RAW agent Vishnu Shankar and Sunny Hinduja as ISI chief Ali Murtaza shine, backed by a strong supporting cast. The series starts strong, gripping with its atmosphere and high-stakes nuclear plot, but loses momentum towards the end with predictable twists. Still, it’s a largely engaging watch, powered by performances more than execution. #SaareJahanSeAcchaOnNetflix #netflixindia #SpyThriller #PratikGandhi #SunnyHinduja #indianwebseries #EspionageDrama #Netflix2025 #RajatKapoor #TillotamaShome #ninadkamat #anupsoni #kritikakamara More of Pratik Gandhi - DhoomDhaam ; AGNI ; SCAM1992 Harshad Mehta

Image - YouTube Until Dawn: A Chilling Survival Loop with Fading Thrills Review:  Until Dawn , streaming in 2025, adapts the hit PlayStation game into a gothic survival horror film directed by David F. Sandberg. Starring Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, and Odessa A’zion, it follows friends trapped in a time loop where each death restarts the nightmare. The premise is novel, blending slasher tension with eerie atmosphere, but repetitive gore and uneven scares dilute the impact. Despite its smart concept,  Until Dawn  delivers more style than lasting terror—engaging, but forgettable. #UntilDawn #SurvivalHorror #PlayStationAdaptation #HorrorMovie #UntilDawnReview #TimeLoopThriller #GothicHorror #SlasherMovie #DavidFSandberg #HorrorFans

Image - YouTube Mandala Murders: A Chilling Dive into Darkness and Mystery Mandala Murders , now streaming on Netflix, is a bold Hindi crime thriller set in the eerie town of Charandaspur. Blending supernatural horror, mystery, and psychological drama, it creates a haunting world filled with secrets, cults, and bloodshed. The series shines in its gothic atmosphere and stunning visuals—especially the Varuna Forest. While the plot is complex and sometimes hard to follow, its ambition is questionable. Despite uneven pacing,  Mandala Murders  pulls you in with its layered storytelling. A must-watch for fans of dark, unconventional thrillers with an appetite for suspense and horror. Extra Note:  At first, I hoped  Mandala Murders  would match the intrigue of  Asur , but it falls a bit short. The familiar duo of Jameel Khan and Vaibhav Raj Gupta reunite after  Gullak , bringing a sense of grounded performance. Aditi Pohankar, known for her strong roles in...

Untamed  Review – A Scenic Thriller with Quiet Tension Streaming on Netflix since July 17, 2025,  Untamed  is a moody crime thriller set in the lush wilderness of Yosemite National Park. Eric Bana shines as a special agent uncovering a woman’s death—and his own buried past. While the plot leans on familiar mystery tropes, the visuals are stunning, the suspense builds slowly but surely, and the character dynamics keep you engaged. Some episodes drift a bit, but good editing and gripping moments hold your interest. It’s not flawless, but it’s certainly worth a watch. #UntamedNetflix #EricBana #CrimeThriller #NetflixOriginals #YosemiteMystery #UntamedSeries #LimitedSeries2025 #ForestThriller #MurderMysteryDrama Image - YouTube

Brick  Review – A Wall of Missed Potential Brick , streaming on Netflix since July 17, 2025, had an intriguing premise—a mysterious wall traps residents inside their building overnight. Directed by Philip Koch, this German techno-thriller starts with promise but fails to deliver. The trailer built suspense, but the film quickly loses steam with a predictable plot, underwhelming performances, and unclear messaging. It flirts with being a thought experiment and a thriller but succeeds at neither. The concept had potential, but the execution is disappointingly flat. A frustrating watch for fans of intelligent thrillers. #BrickNetflix #NetflixOriginal #BrickMovie2025 #ThrillerReview #TechnoThriller #GermanCinema #NetflixGermany #MovieReview #StreamingNow #MysteryGoneWrong #FlopOrNot #WhatToWatch #MovieBuffs #InternationalCinema #PhilipKoch #DisappointingThriller

  She – From Shadows to Power She  on  Netflix  is a bold Indian crime drama that follows  Bhumika Pardeshi , a quiet constable turned undercover agent. Created by  Imtiaz Ali , Season 1 shines with strong storytelling, gritty visuals, and  Aaditi Pohankar’s  powerful transformation. Her chemistry with  Vijay Varma  adds depth and danger. The show explores  identity, sexuality, and power  with bold strokes. Season 2, though ambitious, loses the emotional grip and focus of the first season.

Directed by Carlos Sedes, it follows a chilling tale of betrayal and murder, as nurse Maje and her lover kill her husband.

iHostage : Real Crime, Missed Thrills on Netflix iHostage  is a Dutch true-crime thriller streaming on Netflix, inspired by the 2022 Apple Store hostage crisis in Amsterdam. The film aims for a realistic, documentary-style feel, with CCTV-style shots and restrained storytelling. While performances by Soufiane Moussouli and Admir Sehovic are strong, the screenplay lacks emotional depth and tension. What could’ve been a gripping psychological thriller ends up feeling flat and anticlimactic. If you’re into slow-burn real-life crime dramas, it might appeal—but for high-stakes suspense lovers,  iHostage  underdelivers. #iHostage #NetflixThriller #DutchCinema #TrueCrimeDrama #SoufianeMoussouli #BasedOnTrueStory #NetflixReview

It follows Aoy, a street-side cook who enters the cutthroat fine-dining world under Chef Paul’s ruthless guidance.

Test (2025) – When Morality Meets Greed, But Fumbles the Catch Test  on Netflix is a 2025 Tamil sports thriller that brings together R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth in a story of ambition, obsession, and moral conflict. The film weaves three interconnected stories, exploring how frustration leads to transformation. While the idea is strong and the twist intriguing, the screenplay feels uneven and lacks emotional pull. Performances are solid but not impactful. The pace slows the tension, and the emotional depth never fully lands.  Test  raises thoughtful questions but may test your patience more than your emotions. #TestOnNetflix #TamilThriller2025 #RMadhavan #Nayanthara #Siddharth #SportsThriller #NetflixIndia #MovieReview #TheFilmiAngle #TestMovieReview #TamilCinema #WatchOrSkip Release Date - April 2025 Streaming Partner - Netflix Directed By - S Sashikanth
