2010 was prolific on thrillers. It was this year that Christopher Nolan’s famous film “The Beginning” was released with the participation of Leonardo DiCaprio, which to this day ranks seventh in the ranking of the most sought-after films of “Kinopoisk”. But what thrillers and horror movies did we remember this year yet? Let's try to make a list of the best thrillers of 2010.
"Stone"
Not to say that a masterpiece, but you can even see it. What is the cast alone: ​​Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich and others. The film revolves around the jailer Jack and an accomplice in the murder - prisoner Stone, who will stop at nothing to get out. He blackmails Jack, and he faces a difficult choice - either to destroy his family happiness, or to help Stone escape.
"Black Swan"
Thriller with Natalie Portman in the title role. As it turns out, there is nothing worse than the rivalry of a pair of prima ballerinas. What their war resulted in can be seen in the film. We are publishing a trailer that tells about the plot of events better than any words.
"City of thiefs"
One of the best thrillers of 2010 with Ben Afleck in the title role. One of the residents of Boston, Doug MacRae really wanted not to follow in the footsteps of daddy - an inveterate bank robber. But fate decreed otherwise. Before he could look back, he became the leader of a gang of bandyuganov. And in what it turned out - look in the film.
"The killer inside me"
The sheriff’s assistant and part-time serial killer maniac is a hell of a cinema mix. That is what the scriptwriters John Curran and Jim Thompson considered when they wrote their script under Casey Aflek. Well, they did it pretty well. Michael Winterbottom was appointed director, and it turned out quite watchable. Trailer attached.
Sanctum
If not for “The Beginning” with Leonardo DiCaprio, this film could certainly claim to be the best thriller of 2010. And so he has only the second place, but well-deserved. A terrible case of flooding a deep cave, into which, as usual, a group of speleologists, eager for exploits, fame and extreme, climbed their heads, has robbed the world community of more than 100 million bucks, having paid for its budget three times.
30 Days of the Night: Dark Times
Despite the fact that the film turned out to be more disastrous, fans of the first part are worth a look. Yes, the film “30 days of the night: Dark times” in 2010 was conceived as a continuation of the film “30 days of the night” (2007). But either the filmmakers had a budget cut, or the scriptwriter gave out a seedy intrigue, or the director could not cope ... As a result, the film came out somehow not like that. The horror atmosphere in the film “30 Days of the Night: Dark Times” (2010), although the story had all the conditions to become a long-running franchise. And therefore everything looks somehow flat and superficial. Anyone interested can see the trailer.
"Drilling"
The film "Drilling" (2010) by American filmmakers told that it is possible to "drill" from under the strata of the earth besides oil and gas. Here, drillers in their agility "reached" the depths and places where some ancient creature slept. Well, you yourself know how angry a person is if you disturb his sleep. The creature from a person in this sense did not differ much, and therefore arranged for the drillers a real “acceleration". Not to say that the film "Drilling" directed by Peter Atencio with William Forsythe in the title role is such a masterpiece of horror, and what can be done with a budget of 3 million bucks? But you can still look. Trailer attached.
Astral
In the film "Astral" (2010), the plot develops around strange events in the house where the family of Josh and Renee moves to live. But one poltergeist does not end there. Their child suddenly falls into an inexplicable coma, from which even experienced medical specialists could not get him out. The father suspects that the soul of the child was somehow transferred to a ghostly parallel world, a place of habitation of spirits and other supernatural beings, to which he was going to go. We learn about whether his “rescue operation” was successful by watching the film. In the meantime, evaluate the trailer.
Subsequently, Astral turned into a whole franchise, since as many as three sequel films have already been shot in 2018.
"Frozen"
The story of the guys who had to spend the night on a disconnected winter cable car on a frosty night flew around the world in triumph. That just did not happen to teenagers who love snowboarding: from severe frost to a pack of wild hungry wolves. And far from everyone managed to “spend the night" safely. We watch the trailer and are afraid.
