The best kind of thrillers are the ones that blend psychological aspects with chilling suspense. Movies about stalkers have the ability to get under the viewer's skin by creating an eerie atmosphere and addressing the universal fear of someone watching our every single move. There’s always that lurking fear that someone is watching us from the shadows or worse, wrecking our lives with their obsession. Stalker-based films perfectly bring this to life by creating an unsettling suspense. If you are also intrigued by stalker-themed stories, then Netflix has a lot to offer.
