A new arrival has overtaken the Netflix movie charts, as the survival thriller Thrash defies poor reviews to hold the top spot. Starring Bridgerton‘s Phoebe Dynevor as you’ve never seen her before, this sharksploitation flick channels the likes of Steven Spielberg‘s iconic Jaws and Jai Courtney‘s underrated hit Dangerous Animals, although to a much worse reception. With the movie earning just 41% from critics and 27% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, those who have yet to catch Thrash may want to give it a miss. With that in mind, what else should you be watching? To help you decide, here’s a look at three movies you should stream this weekend on Netflix.
