While a lot of horror movies with a hint of thriller in them generally present some brutal and bloody scenes which exude different atmosphere to the audiences, the genuine thriller movies instead utilize their complex and haunting story to invoke anxiety and tension to the audiences to the point of becoming extremely scared of their real-life environment, checking constantly whether they’ve locked the doors and windows or not. If a thriller movie manages to do that to you, it’s an instant success for the movie. 

And speaking of that, Dunia Games has 15 best thriller movies that can invoke such emotions and experiences to the audiences, thus you should only watch these movies if you’re brave enough to tackle the terrors. 

15. The Girl On The Train (2018)

Based on Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel The Girl On The Train, the movie depicts the story of an alcoholic called Rachel who struggles to perform her daily activities while filing for her divorce. Amidst that, she frequently observes a couple of attractive youths living in a house beside her ex-husband’s house until the female youth disappears and Rachel puts herself into an investigation to search for her whereabouts, which ultimately leads to a horrifying discovery.

14. Dark Waters (2019)

One particular recipe for an intense and disturbing thriller movie is that it’s based on a true story like Dark Waters, depicting the case of a company that throws their chemical waste to a local river and ground, which results in the death of numerous people in such a short period. The journey to discover the truth behind their death is only a part of the terror.

13. Stowaway (2021)

If you ever wonder about getting lost in outer space with no direction or guide, Stowaway will answer that in a very disturbing way. Starring Anna Kendrick, Daniel Dae Kim and Tony Collete, this movie emphasizes the importance of time and resources as the crews of a broken space shuttle must make every decision count, even if they have to “shut down” a number of crews to ensure the survival of the others.

12. Widows (2018)

Widows is quite an emotionally draining movie and you’d best be prepared for its intense crime heist thriller story about three widows who plan to murder their respective ex-husbands out of sheer revenge. With a complicated story and intense moments, this movie will remind you to never underestimate anyone.

11. Slender Man (2018)

Slender Man is an iconic urban legend whose story is best experienced through the movie. Released in 2018, the Slender Man tells the tale of a group of people who hunt for Slender Man until each member disappears one by one by the hand of Slender Man himself.

10. Split (2016)

James McAvoy really fits well as the protagonist of Split called Kevin, a man with 23 different personalities or alter egos as he must withstand the temptation of being controlled by the 24th alter ego, a more sadistic and ruthless version of himself who kidnaps a number of females as his offerings. Although the story may seem to be rather simple, it delivers numerous intense and disturbing scenes that will keep you seated and anxious.

9. Oxygen (2021)

Oxygen tells the tale of a female trapped in a cryogenic room with no recollection of how she ended up being there. With an airtight space and time that continues to tick away as she begins losing oxygen, she struggles to escape the room by any means necessary, even if she has to sacrifice her own body. And believe it, you’ll also feel the struggle to breathe normally after watching this movie.
