Thriller movies are best served up under the covers with a glass of wine in hand. I mean, what better way to spend our nights piecing together the puzzle of a nail-biting movie, all while feeling all the feels of suspense, surprise, anticipation and excitement?

Luckily for us, thriller films fall under plenty of subgenres. Whether it’s a tense whodunnit, a psychological mind-bender or even a dark comedy, there’s plenty of viewing material out there that can keep us entertained and terrified for hours.

From absolute classics such as the Natalie Portman-starring Black Swan, Gwyneth Paltrow‘s movie Se7en and Harrison Ford‘s 1993 flick The Fugitive to more recent favourites such as Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s A Simple Favour, the critically acclaimed movie Promising Young Woman and Apple TV+ thriller Echo Valley, starring Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore, we are spoilt for choice.

There are also more recent releases, including awards season favourite Conclave, Cameron Diaz’s Netflix spy movie Back In Action, Zoë Kravitz’ directorial debut Blink Twice, as well as Love Lies Bleeding – starring Kristen Stewart – Mothers’ Instinct and Dev Patel’s directorial debut Monkey Man.

So let us help you decide on the best thriller movies to watch to make the most of your evenings…
