'Seemingly Perfect Family' hits No. 1 on Netflix, but viewers hate it — here are 3 better thrillers to watch instead
From a Spanish-language thriller to a Julia Roberts vehicle, here are three Netflix thrillers you should watch instead of “The Seemingly Perfect Family”
Despite its seemingly perfect premise, the Lifetime thriller "The Seemingly Perfect Family" has failed to impress viewers, earning a widespread backlash. Critics have labeled it "predictable, awful writing and acting," while Rotten Tomatoes users have called it "probably the worst movie I have ever seen." If you're looking for a better thriller to watch on Netflix, there are several alternatives that have received positive reviews.
One such film is "Leave the World Behind," a 2023 apocalyptic thriller starring a star-studded cast including Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali, Kevin Bacon, and Myha La. The movie's adaptation of the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam has been praised for its exceptional acting and steadily engaging storyline. Another Netflix thriller worth considering is "The Occupant," a Spanish film directed by David Pastor and Álex Pastor.
The story revolves around a couple who become entangled with their new neighbors, leading to a suspenseful and relatable tale of paranoia. Lastly, "Gone Girl," a David Fincher classic directed by David Fincher, is an iconic thriller that is currently available on Netflix until October 1. The film, starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck, follows a husband's struggle for justice when his wife mysteriously disappears on their fifth wedding anniversary.
Both "The Occupant" and "Gone Girl" have been lauded by critics for their dark, intelligent storytelling and strong performances.
