The thriller and romance genres are two of the most popular around, so it stands to reason that when you combine them into a romantic thriller, the results can be pretty explosive. Netflix, as the world’s most popular streaming service, clearly recognizes this winning combination and currently offers subscribers a selection of romantic thrillers that chronicle twisting tales of love, betrayal, and often a bit of murder.
Unfortunately, the subgenre is known for often producing duds (see “You Get Me” or “The Boy Next Door” as prime examples currently streaming on the Big Red service), which is why I’m picking out five romantic thrillers that you can watch on Netflix that manage to offer the best of both worlds. These flicks also straddle the line between comedy, sci-fi and murder-mystery so there’s likely one for every single taste.
