When looking for something new on Netflix, the streaming service's Top 10 Most Watched Movies is a good place to start

This ever-shifting ranking is currently topped by the buzzy rom-com Anyone But You, but if you look beyond his tent-pole glossy hits, a seriously good thriller that may have previously passed you by when it first landed in theaters in 2019 will find

The film in question is called Last Creek, which spent a week in the top 10 in November 2020 and has been making the rounds on Netflix As of today (April 25), it is ranked #4 behind the aforementioned Sidney Sweeney and Glen Powell rom-com, Zack Snyders' "Rebel Moon - Part 2: Scar Giver" and "Anna" (another action thriller you may have missed)

If you are unfamiliar with "Last Creek" and would like a little more information before adding it to your Netflix watch list, you are in the right place as we have all the information you need below

"Last Creek" is a tense thriller that will disappoint you along the way The film centers on Sawyer Scott (Hermione Caulfield), a college senior heading to a job interview in Washington, DC, but her journey soon takes a serious turn

Sawyer is traveling from Centre College in Kentucky when she gets lost and is stranded deep in the Appalachian forest While trying to find her way back to the road, she sees two men who appear to be burying a dead body Sawyer hastily leaves the scene and is pursued by two criminals who want to silence her

What follows is a cat-and-mouse hunt in the dense forest where Sawyer fights for his life Not only must she escape two outlaws who know the area inside out, but she must also endure the harsh environment and lack of resources

"Last Creek" debuted at the 2018 Bentonville Film Festival before its theatrical release in January 2019 and was well received at the time To date, it maintains a high score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes However, the 61% audience rating is a bit less impressive

Jude Dry of IndieWire described the thriller as "an impressive example of how good storytelling can trump budget and star power" The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFore described it as "an understated but rural tale of captivity" Vulture's David Edelstein was surprised by this dark comedy" It is tight without being punishing, and the humor is delightfully surprising"

Janet Catsoulis of The New York Times took a less favorable view: "Caulfield is wonderful in a role that gives her little opportunity to do more than run and fight, but a woman empowered in this way removes the question marks from her survival and the film removes tension from the film"

"Last Creek" does not offer any particularly original ideas as a thriller that takes clear cues from cult films like "Eden Lake" and "Wolf Creek," but it adds a couple of surprising twists to the survival genre and at least somewhat makes it feel fresh If you're looking for a new Netflix offering that will get your pulse racing and your palms sweating, this is it

On the other hand, if you're looking for something a little less tense and a lot more fun, be sure to check out Netflix's No 1 new rom-com And if you're looking for a thriller that won't last the night, don't miss Netflix's new show "Baby Reindeer"
