I love watching movies, all sorts of them. In fact, I kind of have a small addiction to films. The interesting part about myself is that I watch different types of movies while in certain moods. Some of my favorite types of movies are suspense thriller movies.
Watching suspense thriller movies leave us with a certain lingering emotion. I can’t quite explain this emotion, but it messes with your thoughts for a while. Although most suspense thriller movies are great, there are those which stand out.
Here are a few of the best suspense thriller movies that will surely be hard to forget.
One of the most riveting suspense thriller movies is the Black Swan. Natalie Portman portrays a 28 yr-old dancer in the New York City Ballet. She is set to perform in Swan Lake as both the innocent white swan and the sensual black swan. As pressures rise because of her lack of passion and intensity as the black swan, Portman begins to hallucinate.
She becomes obsessed with trying to reach the perfect performance as the dark alter ego. Her hallucinations become so bad that she almost loses the dual part in Swan Lake. She pushes herself again, having vivid recollections of violence and sex, only to finally succeed in her portrayal of the alter ego. But, could it be too late?
This movie is one that you will love and hate in the same instance.
This is truly one of the most disturbing thrillers of the 90s. The story focuses on a serial killer obsessed with the 7 deadly sins: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth. All his murders or crimes are completed with these themes.
As a retired detective, Somerset, and his young partner, Mills, search for the killer, Mill’s wife tries to find the courage to tell her husband that she is pregnant.
The detectives find all the victims except two, and they even catch the killer. He tells them that he can take them to the location of his last two victims. They load him in the car and drive out into the desert where they discover the last two unfortunate pieces to his twisted game – envy and wrath. You will have to watch to find out the ending of this amazing thriller.
While Stephen King may be the master of horror, he’s also written quite a few tales which fall into the suspense thriller movies category. Misery is just one of the best.
Anne Wilkes is the author, Paul Sheldon’s biggest fan. She just loves the Misery series and will do anything to keep it going. After a freak automobile accident, Sheldon is left for dead right down the road from Anne Wilkes home. She takes him in and nurses him to health.
Unfortunately, Sheldon has already killed off Anne Wilkes favorite Misery character, Misery Chastain. This infuriates her. Leading to her downward spiral as she commands him to write another book resurrecting the character. Sheldon quickly realizes that Wilkes is not just his “biggest fan”, but a psychopath. After a few violent altercations with Sheldon, Wilkes resorts to hurting others as well.
