The rating of thrillers and top lists are traditionally collected from a variety of media, special agencies and Internet services. In addition, when compiling the chart, the ratings and reviews of the audience are taken as the basis - the quantitative indicators of those who have rated and commented are calculated, which make it possible to objectively distribute places in the rating table. Of course, the opinion of professional critics does not go unnoticed.
Without cult classics
Below are the best thrillers (list), the rating of which is quite high, since they are more often than others in the tops of nine major world publications devoted to cinema:
- Case No. 39 (imdb: 6.1). Incredibly exciting thriller movie with a pronounced mystical background. The plot tells of an unfortunate girl who is trying to wrest from the clutches of negligent parents a social worker. It’s just not entirely clear who is really unhappy and who exactly needs to be saved.
- The Chamber (imdb: 5.5). The rating of thrillers continues another mystical movie in which ghosts play with the mind of the main character, however, like the director of the picture, which is played with the mind and emotions of the viewer.
- Exorcist (imdb: 8.0) will amaze anyone with a skillfully created mystical atmosphere. The story of the expulsion of the devil from twelve-year-old Regan contains very cynical and too naturalistic scenes.
Psychological thrillers. List
The rating of the paintings presented in this section is approximately the same:
- The “Child of Darkness” (imdb: 6.9) is intimidating by genre-specific techniques, but nevertheless remains an interesting and atmospheric picture. Jaume Serra created a rather tough film, and although it cannot be called the leader of the genre, the rating of the film is quite high.
- "Countdown" (imdb: 6.0). In this picture, the criminals are known from the first shots, however, to follow the contact of a couple of killers and a representative of the law is quite interesting.
- "Fatal number 23" (imdb: 6.2) is a beautifully shot psychological detective thriller with an elegant neo noir atmosphere.
Closer to Perfection
The rating of thriller films will continue with pictures whose imdb rating exceeds the figure 7.
- "Primal Fear" (imdb: 7.6). The apparent advantage of the picture lies in the unpredictable turn of the storyline and in the gloomy final irony.
- Irreversibility (imdb: 7.3). Scandalous and shocking picture, strongly affecting overly impressionable viewers.
- "Screen test" (imdb: 7.2). Film critics just admire the bizarre mix of genres in the film - from melodrama to the shocking, brutal thriller, not for the faint of heart.
- Remember (imdb: 8.6). This is a real test film, inviting everyone to check their attentiveness, memory and analytical abilities.
- The rating of thriller films would not be complete without the picture "Insomnia" (imdb: 7.7). It surpasses the original Norwegian production by the richness of the visual part and complex textures.
Scaring is not an easy task
The twentieth century pleased us with a large number of horror thrillers, from which the audience shed a lot of cold sweat and spent many sleepless nights. It’s not so easy to choose from them the most frightening, scary, who, moreover, have not lost their artistic value. It is necessary to fully study the reviews of impressed viewers and the many ratings that constituted the film critics. Today, scaring the audience is not an easy task, but still the thriller rating, which is presented below, includes precisely the frightening films.
- The Black Swan (imdb rating: 8.0). The most masterful (both dramatic and frame-by-frame) film in which the style frankly crushed the content.
- The "Game" (imdb rating: 7.7) is distinguished by sharp tension and at the same time wit of plot moves. The climax is also intriguing, which in the picture does not look like a shock point, but rather resembles an ellipsis.
- “Silence of the Lambs” (imdb rating: 8.7), a peculiar game between the main characters makes the audience anxiously and nervously follow the plot narrative, the culmination of which is unpredictable and can hit anyone.
- The right to complete the rating of thrillers is rightfully granted to the movie "Seven" (imdb rating: 8.7), the plot of which is an exciting story that really disturbs nerves. The picture is perfect, carefully verified, able to satisfy the most unusual and capricious audience preferences.
