Movies are a universal form of entertainment loved by millions of people. Many different genres, including horror and thriller, are always great to watch. The thriller genre is among the most popular genres in movies. The suspense and thrill are enough to keep you on the edge of your seats and begging for more.
Types of Thriller Movies:
There are various types of thrillers which include;
Psychological Thrillers:
Psychological thrillers are a relatively new genre that’s quickly gaining popularity. They often focus on the protagonist’s mental state, who is usually trying to figure out what is real and what is in their mind. With films like The Babadook and It Follows, these films have become a little more mainstream and more accessible to find than ever before.
Suspenseful Thrillers:
One of the best suspenseful thrillers released this year is “Split.” Starring James McAvoy, a man diagnosed with 23 distinct personalities, the movie follows him through a harrowing abduction plot.
Mystery Thrillers:
In the past, mystery thrillers meant that a crime would be committed, and someone would have to figure out who did it by the movie’s end. Today, authors are using new tricks to create mysteries. While they are still trying to figure out whodunnit in the future, they’re doing it in more creative ways. Several contemporary mystery thrillers are coming out this year that you should try:
- “The Promise” (2017): Oscar Isaac stars in this intense drama about an American journalist tasked with finding an ancient memoir during the last days of World War I.
- “Get Out” (2017): Jordan Peele’s directorial debut is a horror film starring Daniel Kaluuya as Chris, a black man visiting his white girlfriend’s family estate for the weekend. While there, he faces racism at every turn and has no choice but to fight back or die.
Horror Thrillers:
If you’re searching for a horror movie with a truly unique premise, then A Quiet Place is your best bet. This movie focuses on a family who lives in a world where the slightest noise could bring death, forcing them to live in silence at all times. The flick stars Emily Blunt and ensures that the suspense never lets up from start to finish.
If you want something a bit more bloody and gory, then you should check out Hereditary. This film follows a woman who starts having terrifying hallucinations after her mother passes away. When she embarks on an investigation of her family history, she uncovers dark secrets that were better left forgotten.
For those who love everything paranormal, then The Nun will be right up your alley. This movie follows two girls sent to an isolated convent where they find themselves confronted with their most horrific fears – including one that seems to have come straight from the devil himself.
