2025’s Wildest Dark Thriller Hits Netflix (& It’s An Instant Streaming Hit)

Netflix’s latest psychological thriller is a big success, quickly becoming popular with viewers and earning high praise from critics (86% on Rotten Tomatoes). It’s a dark and unsettling show with erotic elements, guaranteed to be both captivating and disturbing.

Bone Lake, featuring Maddie Hasson, Marco Pigossi, Alex Roe, and Andra Nechita, follows a couple whose relaxing vacation at a remote estate takes a dark turn. Sage and Diego arrive hoping for peace and quiet, but their getaway is disrupted when they’re forced to share the house with a strange and alluring couple. What begins as a weekend escape quickly becomes a tangled web of sex, lies, and manipulation, leaving Sage and Diego fearing for their lives. Bone Lake skillfully blends erotic horror with dark humor, justifying the positive reviews it has received.

It’s Dark, Violent, and More Than a Little Eerie

Jake Tropila of In Review Online praises Bone Lake as a surprisingly good horror film, noting that its most compelling moments come from depicting the breakdown of a couple’s relationship, rather than from the horror itself. Joe Lipsett of Horror Queers describes it as a playful take on Indecent Proposal, highlighting strong performances from the four main actors and an exciting, over-the-top ending, though he cautions against labeling it an erotic thriller.

Viewers had mixed reactions to the film. Some found it intriguing with interesting themes of betrayal and deception, but felt the ending ruined the experience. One viewer gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars, explaining that a promising storyline and mystery fell apart due to a drawn-out and unsatisfying conclusion. They believed a stronger ending would have significantly improved the film. Others strongly disagreed, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars. They praised the action, well-developed characters, and effectively scary villains. They particularly enjoyed creative scenes, like one involving padlocks, and the impressive makeup in the final scene, noting that while the ideas weren’t entirely original, they were well-executed.
