‘The Guilty’ (2021)
Training Day director Antoine Fuqua and True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto teamed up for The Guilty, a remake of a 2018 Dutch thriller. The vast majority of the movie centers on LAPD officer Joe Baylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) in a single location as the story plays out through his phone calls.Baylor is stuck on duty answering 911 calls pending a disciplinary hearing when he receives an alarming call from Emily Lighton (Riley Keough). Emily tells Baylor that she’s been abducted, but he has limited resources to find her kidnapper and most of his fellow officers aren’t going to help him. Baylor’s partner, Sergeant Bill Miller (Ethan Hawke), reluctantly does some of the legwork, but what he finds at Emily’s home is disturbing. And time is running out to locate Emily before another tragedy occurs. The Guilty is streaming on Netflix.
‘Watcher’ (2022)
Maika Monroe has made a name for herself as a scream queen in movies like It Follows, and she’s certainly got a lot of reasons to scream in Watcher.

Torchwood’s Burn Gorman gives a creepy performance as Daniel Weber, the man Julia believes is stalking her. Daniel claims that Julia is the one harassing him, which the police find more convincing than her story. There is a serial killer on the loose, and even Julia has to wonder if she’s letting her fear rule her actions. She’ll get her answer — it just may not be the one she’s looking for.Watcher is streaming on Netflix.
‘The Killer’ (2023)

‘Gerald's Game’ (2017)

Scott (Mahershala Ali), arrives with his daughter, Ruth (Myha'la), to take shelter as technology seemingly fails everywhere.
