Looking for a gripping survival thriller to watch this weekend? Netflix has a new Spanish-language film called Firebreak that might be perfect. It’s being described as intense and features a surprisingly disturbing ending.
The movie centers around Mara (Belén Cuesta) and her desperate search for her daughter, Lide (Candela Martínez), who went missing in the woods during a family vacation. The story begins after Lide disappears, focusing on her mother’s efforts to find her.
The police gave up looking when the woods suddenly caught fire, filling everything with smoke. But I couldn’t just leave my daughter, Lide, especially so soon after losing my husband. I ignored the evacuation orders and went right back into the burning woods to find her. I had to.
What to Read Next
Okay, so the story kicks off with everyone relying on this forest ranger, Santi, to help after a disaster. But things get weird fast – you quickly realize something isn’t right with him or the situation. As I’m playing as Mara, I’m dealing with a lot – fear, loss, and a ton of hidden stuff. It doesn’t take long to figure out that the fire isn’t the biggest problem; someone’s definitely keeping secrets, and it’s messing everything up.
You can now watch the film Firebreak on Netflix! Directed by David Victori and starring Joaquín Furriel, it was added to the streaming service this morning, making it a great option for a weekend watch.


This movie is being described as a gripping psychological thriller full of suspense, heartbreak, and suspicion, building to a disturbing ending. The central mystery is whether the family will be able to locate Lide and save her.
Okay, so the new survival thriller hasn’t gotten a ton of reviews yet, but the first two on Rotten Tomatoes are both positive – a ‘fresh’ rating! That’s a pretty good sign, and I’m hoping it means the game is actually good. Fingers crossed for more positive reviews!

Heaven of Horror says that if you like twisty psychological thrillers and enjoy trying to figure out the plot, but don’t mind being surprised, then Firebreak on Netflix is a good choice. They found the show lived up to their expectations.
Digital Media Talkies also commended the film, stating that Firebreak tries to address important societal problems and encourage unity instead of division.
Firebreak is streaming now on Netflix.
