A psychological thriller is making waves on Netflix, with viewers calling it the “most intense” film they’ve seen in a long time.
Unforgettable, originally released in 2017, has found a new audience after being added to the platform’s UK catalogue. It has quickly climbed the streaming charts, sitting among the most-watched films of the week.
The movie stars Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson in a gripping story of obsession, jealousy, and revenge.

Tessa’s jealousy turns into obsession as she works to manipulate Julia and ruin her life. As tensions rise, Julia finds herself in a dangerous battle against a woman who will stop at nothing to reclaim her old life.
The film’s psychological tension and dramatic twists have drawn comparisons to Gone Girl and Obsessed.

One viewer wrote: “I went in expecting a typical thriller, but Unforgettable had me hooked. The tension builds so well, and the ending gave me chills.”

A third commented: “I actually sympathised with both the villain and the victim. The acting is strong, and the psychological tension kept me invested.”
Others have been particularly impressed with Heigl’s performance. One fan tweeted: “She plays unhinged so well – I was genuinely scared for Julia.”
