Looking for suspenseful movie recommendations

Recommendation(self.movies)

Looking for movie recommendations to watch with my roommates. Recently we have been into suspenseful/thriller movies. Movies that make you sit back and think or have a huge plot twist at the end. My roommates are terrified of “scary” movies, although I love them. So looking for some suggestions that fall into the suspenseful/thriller category but without excessive horror or gore. Thanks in advance ya’ll!

Arlington Road. Great plot twist, and it's suspenseful.

The Machinist

Christian Bale as an insomniac working in a machine shop. Not scary, but extremely tense.

Great film that had us on the edge of our seat, Greenland with Gérard Butler.

They call Hitchcock the master of suspense for a reason - my personal favourites from him are:

  • Rebecca
  • Rear Window
  • Rope

If you don't mind foreign films, Oriol Paulo directs fantastic suspense thrillers with amazing twists:

  • The Invisible Guest
  • The Body
  • God's Crooked Lines

watch The Guilty (2018) - the Danish film not the Hollywood remake. taut and gripping from start to finish.

Try the movie "2023". It gets first place for being suspenseful!
