If you’re looking for a thriller to watch on Netflix, August has you covered with the arrival of The Whisper Man. As the rhyme goes, “If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.” More thrills can be expected with The Last House, where a family of four trapped at home fight a mysterious threat.
If you’d prefer something a little lighter, Outer Banks returns to Netflix this month for a fifth season, or you could check out the group of feral cats causing havoc in Ricky Gervais Alley Cats.
