Netflix thriller lineup and A24's horror film 'Backrooms' reviewed

A recent roundup highlighted seven thriller titles currently streaming on Netflix, including the action‑driven "Carry‑On," the relationship‑tense "Fair Play," Tom Hardy's gritty crime drama "Havoc," Vanessa Kirby’s desperate "Night Always Comes," the sci‑fi experiment "Spiderhead," and the post‑apocalyptic "Bird Box." The selections were praised for their suspenseful pacing, strong performances and varied sub‑genres.

Another review examined A24’s horror‑survival film "Backrooms," which adapts the 2019 internet creepypasta into a maze‑like thriller. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Clark, an architect thrust into an endless series of yellow‑walled offices. The film emphasizes claustrophobic set design—30,000 sq ft of practical sets—and blends slow‑burn tension with occasional found‑footage elements. Critics noted the effective atmosphere while questioning the consistency of its scares.
