Secret code unlocks best psychological thrillers on Netflix

We've summed up the best thrillers you can unlock

When it comes to logging on to Netflix, how many of us have found ourselves in the situation where we spend an hour deciding what to watch, only to realise we’ve not got enough time to actually watch anything it’s taken so long?

I do this constantly, with the overwhelmingly huge catalogue of choice Netflix has to offer being in actual fact a bad thing due to the paralysis it causes.

Recently, however, a YouTuber found a trick which has changed the game when it comes to deciding what to watch.

Matty McTech, better known online as SetupSpawn, has released a video in which he explains a secret trick which allows you to get hyper specific genres of movies on Netflix.

For example, he types the number 10118 into Netflix and what came up?

Every superhero film on the platform perfect for some easy Friday night viewing.

Talking through the trick with his subscribers, he said: “Did you know that if you go to this website, netflix-codes.com, you can find a list of Netflix secret categories?

"Just watch...search for the code on Netflix and it will display all the shows and movies related to that code."

Of all the codes on there, one in particular will stand out to many fans – the code which unlocks all the psychological thrillers your heart could desire on the platform.

While there are a number of specific genres you can unlock, going from Foreign Gay & Lesbian Movies to Deep Sea Horror Films, so many Netflix subscribers love a good mind-bending thriller.

You only need look as far as two of the biggest films of the last couple months, Don’t Move and Woman of the Hour to see the love Netflix fans have of the genre.

If you put into your search bar on Netflix the code for psychological thrillers, 5505, here are five of the best psychological thrillers you may not have realised are on Netflix.

The Guilty

Starting off strong, this psychological thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal is an American remake of a Danish film of the same name.

The film has a fascinating premised, with the entire film taking place in one room, following a 911 operator unravelling a mystery that is more than meets the eye.

Directed by the legendary Antonie Fuqua, Empire said in their four star review: “Gyllenhaal flexes all his considerable acting muscles in this taut, tense thriller.”

The Devil All the Time

Tom Holland. Robert Pattinson. Bill Skarsgard. Riley Keough. Sebastian Stan. The guy who plays Dudley in Harry Potter and has since been in 101 awesome projects.

Need I say any more?

If for some reason that hasn’t been enough to sell you, the unsettling film features Pattinson with perhaps his most bonkers accent choice ever, and Tom Holland playing a young man beset on all sides by corruption and evil people in a small town.

American Psycho

If you didn’t realise the Christian Bale classic is on Netflix now’s your chance to go back and watch it.

It is one of the most iconic films of the early 2000s, and another is reportedly on the way from Challengers director Luca Guadagnino.

So before the remake comes out, revisit the original based on the Bret Easton Ellis book.

A History of Violence

Added only this year, the Viggo Mortensen gangster thriller is directed by the great David Cronenberg.

With a 7.1 on IMDb and an 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, some fans called this the ‘original John Wick’.

David Denby of the New Yorker said of the film: “Cronenberg's direction, mirroring the split in Tom, is alternately measured and frighteningly explosive, and, as always, he gives the movie a nasty underlay of sexual perversity."

Creep

Though this borders on horror, I reckon most will agree that Creep has clear elements of a psychological thriller.

The film, which many may not realise is on Netflix in the UK, is a cult classic and left many viewers 'bothered' after watching it on the streaming platform.

The found footage film was so well received that not only does it have a movie sequel, but it’s getting a sequel TV series.
