Steve (2025)

Cillian Murphy sheds Oppenheimer shadows for a haunting new beast in Steve—a taut Netflix thriller where one remote lakeside cabin becomes a pressure cooker of secrets and survival. He’s Steve, a burned-out exec fleeing city ghosts, only to find Jay Lycurgo’s enigmatic stranger knocking at dusk with a story too twisted to ignore. Director Tim Mielants (Peaky Blinders grit) traps them in misty pines: flickering fires, creaking floors, and a blizzard that swallows screams. 

Murphy’s eyes do the screaming—every twitch a lie unraveling—while Lycurgo counters with quiet menace, turning small talk into a knife’s edge. The plot? A slow-burn spiral of guilt, identity swaps, and a buried past clawing out like frostbite. At 98 minutes, it’s lean, mean, and leaves you gasping in the final frame’s gut-punch reveal. Netflix drops this icy gem December 5—perfect for a night that’ll make you triple-check the locks.
