Netflix mystery thriller perfect for fans of Ripper Street streaming nowThe Netflix mystery thriller starring Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson in a gripping tale featuring Edgar Allan PoeView 3 Images Christian Bale stars in The Pale Blue Eye. ‌The Pale Blue Eye is a 2006 novel by Louis Bayard which features a murder mystery in the 1930s, at West Point, where a young Edgar Allan Poe was a cadet. ‌That very tale is brought to life in the 2022 film of the same name, streaming on Netflix, starring Christian Bale in the lead role as a seasoned detective known as Augustus Landor. Acting was great, and I am rather savvy on figuring out Who-Done-It, but I was totally taken by surprise with A Pale Blue Eye. For those seeking the ideal spine-tingling and atmospheric film to enjoy at home, The Pale Blue Eye is available to stream now, exclusively on Netflix.
