I know it seems like Netflix is 75% originals right now, but I'll give a shout out to a really good psychological thriller I watched last night:
Sun Choke - 8/10
Hey, it's Millie from "Freaks and Geeks"! Only she's totally fucking unhinged, and it's not entirely clear why. The first half is a bit of a dive into her treatment and her psychosis, while the last half is the consequence of either trying, or not trying hard enough, to keep that psychosis in check. Sarah Hagan's performance is outstanding, even as the material lets her down (the last half hour especially)... this film does a nice job of keeping her character mysterious, but it's just a little TOO mysterious. If you are a fan of thriller movies making you "uncomfortable", this one fits the bill far better than expected. Also recommended if you want to see Millie unhinged, because it's quite something to see.
