Top picks to stream tonight

‘The Trap’ (series premiere) (Netflix)

Genre: Psychological thriller series

What it’s about: “The Trap” follows successful author Lisa Konrad (Friederike Becht), who has spent nearly ten years shut away at home since witnessing her sister Anna’s (Josephine Thiesen) murder. When she spots a man on television whom she believes is her sister’s killer, Lisa devises a dangerous plan to expose him. Using herself as bait, she arranges a meeting with the suspected murderer, setting the stage for a tense psychological battle where the truth remains elusive.

Why you should watch it: If you love twisty psychological thrillers, “The Trap” deserves a spot on your Netflix watchlist. This six-part German miniseries follows a reclusive author who risks everything to confront her sister’s suspected killer. Expect a tense cat-and-mouse game, an intriguing mystery and plenty of twists to keep you guessing. It’s also from the creative team behind Netflix’s acclaimed “Dear Child.”

‘Wildling’ (2018) (Paramount+)

Genre: Fantasy horror movie

What it’s about: Anna (Bel Powley) has spent her entire childhood confined to an attic by a mysterious man known as Daddy, who warns her that a deadly creature lurks outside. When a local sheriff (Liv Tyler) helps her experience life beyond captivity, Anna struggles to adjust to the outside world. However, as she grows older, strange physical changes and violent incidents force her to confront the truth about her origins and the terrifying creature she was taught to fear.

Why you should watch it: If you enjoy atmospheric horror with a dark fairytale twist, “Wildling” is worth a watch. Bel Powley delivers a compelling performance as a young woman discovering her true nature, while Liv Tyler and Brad Dourif add plenty of appeal. With eerie woodland settings, unsettling transformations and a coming-of-age story with a monstrous edge, it offers something a little different from your usual creature feature.

‘Runner’ (2026) (PVOD)

Genre: Action-comedy movie

What it’s about: Former soldier Hank Malone (Alan Ritchson) is tasked with transporting a vital organ to save a young girl’s life. Paired with organ transplant manager Ben Bishop (Owen Wilson), Hank soon finds himself pursued by a ruthless cartel determined to steal the delivery for its own purposes. With dangerous enemies closing in, the unlikely duo must survive a high-speed manhunt and get their precious cargo to its destination before time runs out.

Why you should watch it: Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson make an entertaining odd couple in “Runner,” a fast-paced action-comedy film packed with explosive shootouts, high-speed chases and unexpected laughs. Their chemistry adds plenty of fun to this race against time, while the mission to save a young girl gives the chaos some emotional stakes. It’s a solid pick for an action-packed movie night.
