Thrillers and horrors are in demand by people, because this is the only way to tickle your nerves with safety for health and the body, to experience a sense of fear and adrenaline and how to scare yourself. However, not everyone likes Russians, for example, films or Asian ones. American thrillers, horror and mystical films are much more popular.
In the USA, they really boast the ability to make quality projects. A good picture, excellent camera work, a prescribed script ... Here it is - American cinema . Militants, thrillers, horrors, mysticism, crime dramas, detective stories - for every taste there is something suitable among a huge variety. Of course, not all American thriller films are good, but we will only consider worthwhile films.
Movies with an unexpected ending
Surely this happened more than once: at first throughout the viewing you feel nervous and stressed due to events on the screen, and then scriptwriters and directors hit you with a completely unexpected plot twist and achieve an unpredictable denouement. What could be better? That is why we watch movies - enjoy and be surprised.
So, before you are American thrillers, few can predict the ending. Some take the aforementioned unexpected ending, while others confuse to the last, not allowing the viewer to be sure about how to relate to the main characters: are they really to blame or just became victims of circumstances. Here are some of the pictures worth seeing in this case:
- "Lollipop".
- "Day of laughter."
- "Sixth Sense".
- "Shutter Island".
- "The perfect escape."
- "The lucky number Slevin."
Psychological thrillers
The more intense and stronger the atmosphere of the film is, the better, at least when it comes to the thriller. In this category, maximum attention is paid to psychological pressure, and minimum to bloody details, falling off parts of the body and disgusting most people. Of course, in some films there will be murders, and wounds, and other things inherent in horror movies, but you will not have to focus on them.
In general, if you like to scare yourself, but don’t favor movies, which are rather unpleasant than scary to watch, you have come to the address: in front of you are the best American thrillers of the “psychological” subcategory.
- "Pit".
- "24 hours".
- "Blazer".
- "Package".
- "Strangers".
- "Disappeared."
- "Funny games."
- Mulholland Drive.
Mystic
Here is the second most popular after psychological American thrillers. You can not believe in the existence of supernatural forces, creatures and worlds, but watching ghosts, poltergeists, demons and other otherworldly creatures, as well as frightened people and fighters against evil spirits, is interesting. And the main thing is safe, because judging by the films, meetings with something that goes beyond human stereotypes usually end with nothing good.
Opponents of the main characters will be evil forces, bloodthirsty (or not so) otherworldly monsters, powerful people and even death itself, which has a peculiar sense of humor. In most cases, there is not much blood in the films, but there is more than enough psychological pressure, almost like in the previous category. Turn off the lights, turn on the selected movie and enjoy (be afraid):
- "1408".
- "The haze."
- Astral.
- "Mirrors".
- "The spell."
- Sinister.
- "A curse".
- "Destination".
- "The key to all doors."
Bloody thrillers
Some people do not have enough psychological pressure, give them blood and meat. If you belong to just such ... Well, you will not be disappointed. The tense atmosphere will be perfectly diluted with torn off parts of the body, gouged out eyes, torture, murders, torment and other details that only a trained spectator can bear. Go!
- "Hostel".
- "Turistas".
- "Collector".
- "Wrong turn".
- "I Spit on Your Grave".
- "Saw: A Survival Game."
Black comedies
There are craftsmen among the directors who deftly combine two genres that are completely opposite at first glance - horrors and humor. Most of these films deliberately ridicule the cliches of cliched thrillers and are more like parodies, but this is the charm. As a result, everyone can watch this layer of the film industry: both lovers of murder and tin, and fans of quality humor.
- "Slaughter weekend."
- "Slaughter holidays."
- "Crime novel".
- "A very scary movie."
- Trilogy "Blood and Ice Cream":
- "A zombie named Sean";
- "Type cool cops";
- "Armageddets."
Detectives
Of course, almost all American thrillers contain some kind of secret and riddle. Without intrigue, watching such films is boring. However, here we give an example of films in which the detective component is expressed as clearly as possible, and the plot is based on the investigation and / or search for the offender (sometimes not one):
- "Seven".
- "Scream."
- "From hell".
- "And the spider came."
- "Taking life."
- "Silence of the Lambs".
Militants
Here the situation is the same as with the detectives. A thriller is good, and when it is diluted with sharp shootouts, spectacular battle scenes and delights not only in a tense atmosphere, but also in spectacularity - this is wonderful:
- Doomsday
- "Sin City".
- "Red state."
- "From Dusk Till Dawn."
- Dilogy Grindhouse:
- "Planet of fear";
- "Proof of death."
So, these were the best American thrillers. You probably saw some of them, heard about others, but at least something from the proposed list will definitely appeal to you. Many films also have several parts - a movie liked by a huge number of viewers is doomed to continue. In any case, this weekend or in the evenings you will have something to do and what to see.
