If you’ve just finished 'The Great Flood' (2025) on Netflix, you’re likely still reeling from its claustrophobic tension and the desperate, water-logged survival mission of Gu An-na and her son. The film's unique blend of high-stakes disaster and mind-bending sci-fi has set a new bar for the genre this year.

To keep that adrenaline pumping, here is a curated list of five survival thrillers that share its DNA—whether it’s the "trapped by nature" terror, the emotional weight of protecting family, or the gritty realism of a world falling apart.
