This is for those who are looking for needles in the haystack. If you’re looking for some thrill (no pun intended) for your next movie session, maybe try the psychological thriller genre. It is home to the most iconic films of all time such as The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Mulholland Drive (2001). Also, if you like watching films from Asia, South Korea’s The Handmaiden (2016) is another good example of this genre.
The genre features a good understanding of pacing in order to build suspense and tension. If you’re in the mood to ride on an emotional rollercoaster and have exhausted the popular psychological thriller films, well, there are others, of course. Movie Web lists the most underrated movies of the said genre. Check out the full list here!
