Netflix Thrills: Two Mind-Bending Films That Will Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat!

Buckle up, Netflix enthusiasts! We've got two pulse-pounding thrillers that will leave you gripped and guessing until the very end!

First up, we have The Occupant, a twisted tale of obsession and psychological manipulation. Released in 2020, this Spanish-language thriller follows Javier Muñoz (played by Javier Gutiérrez), an unemployed ad executive who becomes fixated on his new neighbors - but things take a dark and sinister turn when he turns his attention to the family!

The Occupant first hit screens back in 2020 and is available to watch on the streaming platform

The buzz around The Occupant is palpable! Fans are raving about Javier's "dedicated performance" as a psychopathic advertiser, saying it's a must-watch for anyone who loves a good thriller. Pittsburgh Magazine calls it "fascinating to watch", while High On Films praises Gutiérrez's portrayal of a character who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But don't just take their word for it! Check out these scintillating reviews:

  • "Excellent scenario, I didn't expect it to end this way... it is a suspenseful movie indeed. And a great performance by Javier Gutierrez!" - A thrilled fan
