Netflix doesn't have many new movies lined up for March apart from the upcoming film Electric State, but that hasn't stopped the streaming service from adding older films to its repertoire (and releasing a couple of new foreign originals).
Among some of the most recent additions to the service is a German "eat the rich" thriller movie, an adrenaline-fueled Japanese revenge thriller, and one of last year's biggest hits from M. Night Shyamalan.
So, what are you in the mood to watch? If you clicked this article then I'm assuming a thriller. You're in luck because Netflix literally just added these following five movies within the last week or so, meaning there's a good chance you haven't watched them all yet.
Delicious (2025)
- Writer/Director: Nele Mueller Stöfen
- Cast: Fahri Yardim, Valerie Pachner, and Carla Díaz
If you recently watched The Menu now that it is streaming on Netflix and you're looking for something with a similar vibe, then Delicious might be the right choice for you.
Mind you, don't set your expectations too high because The Menu is a much better film, but Delicious taps into similar themes of class disparity, drawing horror from a working-class girl and her friends who decide to take revenge on the wealthy in an act of shocking violence. This German original film was recently released on the streaming service and hasn't gained much buzz yet, but it's worth a watch.
Trap
- Writer/Director: M. Night Shyamalan
- Cast: Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Night Shyamalan, Hayley Mills, and Alison Pill
M. Night Shyamalan's latest psychological thriller was once described as The Silence of the Lambs if it took place at a Taylor Swift concert. If that doesn't hook you, I don't know what will. Watching Trap in a lively theater was one of my favorite movie-going experiences from the past year.
It's great movie, featuring Josh Hartnett as a serial killer attempting to evade the police while attending a concert with his teenage daughter. Hartnett is fittingly chilling in the role, delivering an incredible performance and one of my personal favorites of his, perhaps second only to Penny Dreadful.
Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021)
- Director: Randall Emmett
- Writer: Alan Horsnail
- Cast: Megan Fox, Bruce Willis, Emile Hirsch, Lukas Haas, Colson "MGK" Baker, and Lydia Hull
There's no way of getting around the fact that Midnight in the Switchgrass is a pretty bad movie, but a lot of us are still rooting for Megan Fox and wish her career had taken off more in the horror genre after Jennifer's Body so we'll watch just about anything for her.
This one is a crime thriller she made with her ex-partner Colson Baker a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly. It's a serial killer thriller based on a true story and also stars Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch.
Demon City (2025)
- Director: Seiji Tanaka
- Writers: Masamichi Kawabe and Seiji Tanaka
- Cast: Tôma Ikuta, Masahiro Higashide, and Miou Tanaka
Demon City is a slick and compelling revenge thriller adapted from a manga series. It follows a former hitman who has been in a coma for more than a decade and when he wakes up, he's determined to get vengeance against the gang that murdered his family. It's a movie with minimal dialogue and basically non-stop action violence, so if that's your thing then this Japanese film is a must-watch.
Ma (2019)
- Director: Tate Taylor
- Writer: Scotty Landes
- Cast: Octavia Spencer, Juliette Lewis, Diana Silvers, Corey Fogelmanis, Gianni Paolo, McKaley Miller, and Luke Evans
Ma might not have performed all that well with critics, but the movie did decently at the box office and it has gained a significant cult following since its debut. Even star Octavia Spencer often gets in on the fun and can often be seen liking and sharing memes from fans and encouraging people who dress up as her titular character for Halloween and other events.
Ma is a very entertaining horror film starring the always-amazing Spencer as vet tech Sue Ann, who procures alcohol and a place to party for a group of teenagers, seeking to use them as a way to get revenge on their parents for tormenting her in high school. She tells the kids to call her "Ma," and at first they can't get enough of her hijinks, and then the partying takes a dark turn as Sue Ann's plan moves into action.
