Without further ado, here is the list of the best Netflix instant thrillers available at the moment, to stream instantly:

Short Review: This is a mystery | thriller, which straight away gets into the action, with tragedy and murder following throughout the course of the movie.

However all is not as it seems, which brings out even more unravelling mystery, which begins to become even more strange but with an amazing ending, this is certainly a movie worth watching.

Stars: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John C. McGinley

IMDb Rating: 7.3/10

Short Review: This is a mystery | sci-fi | thriller, set during the summer of 1979, when a group of young friends witness a train crash, and see first hand extra-terrestrial life, which leads to some unexplained events in their small town.

This is perfect for anyone who liked Cloverfield, but want to watch a more child friendly version, which still holds a great story together in an entertaining fashion. The film is fairly fast paced, with some well executed scenes which seem quite terrifying depending on how hardcore the viewers are with their scary movies.

Directed by J.J. Abrams, it should come as little surprise to see that the movies mystery is done very well with some unanswered questions which leads the viewer straight on through the rest of the movie. Definitely a must watch on Netflix for anyone with little interest in sci-fi to none at all as this is generally a good movie.

Stars: Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, Kyle Chandler

Short Review: This is a crime | drama | thriller, with a series of intertwining lives which involve violence and redemption, from some crazy, sycotic characters.

What more could we expect from a Quentin Tarantino film, as psychotic violence is his prime goal in his films, which suits perfectly with his style of directing.

This is arguably Quentin's best directorial project he has ever done, with all of the elements we have come to expect from one of his movies, and so well executed.

This is the perfect film for anyone with a taste for mystery, violence, and the occasional brilliant quote.

Stars: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman

Age: 18 and above

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

IMDb Rating: 9/10

Short Review: This is a crime | thriller, which starts off slow but soon picks up in mystery and violence when a simple robbery at a jewel store goes wrong, and the members of the robbery group begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.

With Quentin Tarantino both directing and starring in this feature film, this is one to watch for anyone with any interest in violent films with mystery all the way throughout, directed by the talented Tarantino. Although mainly set in one location with the scenes, the film was very entertaining, keeping the viewer enticed in the story, from start to finish.

Stars: Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen

Age: 18 and above

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

IMDb Rating: 8.4/10

Short Review: This is a crime | drama | thriller, which immediately starts the drama when a straightforward kidnapping turns into full blown violence.

This was a surprisingly funny, but still serious thriller, with some great performances from all of the cast, and possibly making this one of The Coen Brothers best directorial projects.

Interested in a good, well structured thriller, with crime, drama, minor comedy, then this is the film to watch.

Stars: William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Steve Buscemi

Age: 18 and over

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

IMDb Rating: 8.2/10

Short Review: This is a thriller | horror | mystery, which takes place in an old darkened house with a woman, and her two photosensitive children, which is chilling from the very beginning.

This is one of the scarier films in my opinion, which makes this one to watch for anyone looking for a thriller with a chilling side to the story. Although the mystery is always present throughout as it begins to unravel in a more chilling way than any other film I have ever seen.

A must watch for the pure satisfaction of knowing, if nothing else, how the story ends.

Stars: Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston, Fionnula Flanagan

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

IMDb Rating: 7.6/10

Short Review: This is one of the best put together movies ever made. That is an honest opinion which I am sure others would agree with, as the movie intensifies from start to finish. The well portrayed characters in this movie, only add to the already gripping storyline which follows through near perfectly.

If you have 2 hrs. 30 mins spare, this is the movie to watch, and to make it even better it is available to watch on Netflix Instant right now! What are you waiting for?

Stars: Russell Crowe, Al Pacino, Christopher Plummer

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

IMDb Rating: 7.9/10

Short Review: This is a crime | mystery | thriller, which takes place in Alaska, where two homicide detectives have gone to investigate the murder of a local teen.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, on his first big budget movie, he certainly hasn't disappointed with a well structured movie, which increases in mystery as the movie moves forward. With the perfect ending, which only adds to the movies potential for a great viewing a second time around, which is sometimes hard with thriller, mysteries as the second viewing is never the same. However the second time I saw Insomnia, I enjoyed watching it nearly as much as the first time.

Stars: Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hilary Swank

IMDb Rating: 7.2/10

Short Review: This is a mystery | thriller starring the amazingly talented Leonardo DiCaprio, who has done a brilliant job in portraying Teddy Daniels. The movie is set in 1954, with a couple of detectives who have gone to an island, which has situated there a hospital for the criminally insane, where they must investigate the disappearance of a murderess who has escape from the hospital.

The film is brilliant, with every aspect pulled off perfectly, with a tormenting mystery, which adds to creating one heck of a thriller. Not to mention the superb acting from all of the cast in this very entertaining movie, which as suspected focuses primarily on Leonardo's character, which I am sure won't disappoint.

Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Emily Mortimer

Age: 15 and above

Personal Rating: 8.7/10

IMDb Rating: 8.1/10

Short Review: This is a drama | mystery | thriller, which has to be the best thriller ever made, with an unbelievable performance from Haley Joel Osment, who plays Cole Sear, a boy who can see dead people (ghosts).

This is M. Night Shyamalan's directorial début movie, and what a job he has done in creating a thriller which people still love nearly as much now, 15 years after its theatrical release, than they did when it was first released.

The movie thriller captures fear, mystery and heartache awfully well, which makes this the number 1, Netflix Instant must watch!

Stars: Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette

Age: 15 and above

Personal Rating: 8.8/10
