# Thriller films

A thriller is a machine for making you wait. The bad ones mistake noise for tension and cut every few seconds so you cannot tell where anyone is standing. The good ones show you the whole room, tell you exactly what is at stake, and then make you sit there. What we are scoring is whether the fear survives the plot: whether we still cared about the people once the twist had been paid out. Hitchcock recurs on this shelf more than anyone, which tells you what we value, though most of what we hold is a good deal more recent than he is.

Start with [Rear Window](/film/rear-window) (94), which is exact about why we like to watch; [Jaws](/film/jaws) (93), where the people matter as much as the shark; and [The Third Man](/film/the-third-man) (92), gripping and funny about the harm friendship can excuse. After that, try Chinatown, then Notorious for a romance run as a spy operation.

- [*Bad Apples*](https://film.one/film/bad-apples.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 67 · 1h 40m · Comedy/Thriller
  Jonatan Etzler’s black comedy about a teacher who locks a disruptive pupil in her house is sharp for an hour and increasingly strained after it. Saoirse Ronan holds the whole thing together with a performance of unnerving reasonableness.
- [*The Weight*](https://film.one/film/the-weight.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 66 · R · 1h 52m · Drama/Thriller
  Padraic McKinley’s debut is a plain, wet, old-fashioned adventure about men carrying gold through a forest, and Ethan Hawke, saying almost nothing, holds it together. The script gives him too little company, and the ending gives him too easy a road.
- [*Drawn Together*](https://film.one/film/drawn-together.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 44 · 1h 44m · Romance/Thriller · on Amazon Prime Video
  Óscar Pedraza’s adaptation of Mercedes Ron’s novel has a handsome cast, a clean look and a plot that goes exactly where its first ten minutes promise. It is competent and airless, and the two leads never once make us believe it would cost them anything to touch.
- [*Runner*](https://film.one/film/runner.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 56 · PG-13 · 1h 37m · Action/Comedy
  Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson are good company, and the car stunts deliver. But Scott Waugh’s uneven action comedy struggles to make its jokes, violence and sentiment belong in the same film.
- [*The Girl in the River*](https://film.one/film/the-girl-in-the-river.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 31 · 1h 32m · Crime/Thriller
  Brando Benetton’s small-town mystery has a body in the river, a list of suspects and a script that explains each of them three times. Devon Sawa does careful, quiet work in a film that does not deserve him; the rest is waiting.
- [*Onslaught*](https://film.one/film/onslaught.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 58 · R · 1h 32m · Action/Horror
  Adam Wingard goes back to the small siege film he does well, with Adria Arjona holding the door. The style is sure and the score is a pleasure; the film keeps promising a rampage and delivers it in instalments.
- [*Fall 2: Deadpoint*](https://film.one/film/fall-2-deadpoint.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 63 · PG-13 · 1h 38m · Thriller/Sport
  The climbing in *Fall 2: Deadpoint* can still make us flinch, but recycled conflict and thin dialogue keep getting in the way. There is enough here for height-thriller devotees, provided they forgive the interruptions.
- [*Just Play Dead*](https://film.one/film/just-play-dead.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 31 · R · 1h 37m · Thriller/Crime
  Martin Campbell reunites with Eva Green for a crime comedy that plays like something found at the back of a video shop in 1998. It looks expensive and moves briskly, and Samuel L. Jackson enjoys himself; nobody else does, us included.
- [*The Dog Stars*](https://film.one/film/the-dog-stars.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 58 · R · 1h 59m · Science Fiction/Thriller
  Ridley Scott’s survival drama has warmth and some rewarding aerial photography, but its thin characters cannot sustain the leisurely pace. *The Dog Stars* is too uneven to recommend beyond those already drawn to quiet post-apocalyptic tales.
- [*Insidious: Out of the Further*](https://film.one/film/insidious-out-of-the-further.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 55 · PG-13 · 1h 46m · Horror/Thriller
  Jacob Chase gets useful scares from sofa cushions and dental work, but *Insidious: Out of the Further* cannot keep its family story moving. Amelia Eve deserves more than another round of supernatural explanations.
- [*Mutiny*](https://film.one/film/mutiny.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 66 · R · 1h 35m · Action/Thriller
  Jason Statham makes the cramped fights in *Mutiny* worth the wait, but Jean-François Richet takes too long getting him to work. A serviceable action thriller, with little to sustain it between blows.
- [*The End of Oak Street*](https://film.one/film/the-end-of-oak-street.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 66 · PG-13 · 1h 40m · Science Fiction/Mystery
  David Robert Mitchell’s dinosaurs-in-suburbia picture is brisk, handsome and often frightening, and Anne Hathaway carries it. The family drama it keeps setting up is never played out, and the ending steps back from the darker film it had been promising.
- [*The Last House*](https://film.one/film/the-last-house.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 54 · PG-13 · 1h 50m · Horror/Science Fiction · on Netflix
  Louis Leterrier shuts a family in a house and, for the best part of an hour, trusts that to be enough. It is. Then the film shows us what is outside, and a patient domestic thriller becomes a routine monster picture with a hurried ending.
- [*Ice Cream Man*](https://film.one/film/ice-cream-man.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 34 · NR · 1h 26m · Horror/Comedy
  Eli Roth’s killer-kids horror has one idea, an ice cream van whose treats turn a suburb’s children on their parents, and spends 86 minutes repeating it. The practical gore is committed; the script and the jokes are not, and most critics are right about it.
- [*Soulm8te*](https://film.one/film/soulm8te.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 53 · R · 1h 39m · Horror/Science Fiction
  Lily Sullivan is quietly good twice over, as the dead wife and the machine that wears her face, and Kate Dolan shoots the house with care. The script around them has one scare, one idea and a list to get through.
- [*Motor City*](https://film.one/film/motor-city.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 68 · R · 1h 44m · Action/Thriller
  Potsy Ponciroli’s revenge thriller strips out the dialogue and lets the soundtrack carry it, and for an hour that is a good trick. The action is brutal and well staged; the story beneath it is thin, and the film loses its nerve at the end.
- [*Her Private Hell*](https://film.one/film/her-private-hell.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 41 · R · 1h 50m · Science Fiction/Horror
  Nicolas Winding Refn’s return to features has a superb score, a fine set of rooms and Kristine Froseth being funny in them, and then it asks us to watch beautiful people say very little, very slowly, for a hundred and ten minutes. We could not.
- [*The Furious*](https://film.one/film/the-furious.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 82 · R · 1h 53m · Action/Crime
  Kenji Tanigaki’s *The Furious* earns our recommendation through inventive, punishing fights and the clarity with which it shows them. The thin kidnapping story and awkward dialogue matter, but they seldom get long enough to spoil the evening.
- [*Disclosure Day*](https://film.one/film/disclosure-day.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 68 · PG-13 · 2h 26m · Science Fiction/Thriller
  Spielberg’s alien conspiracy chase is fluently made and Emily Blunt is a pleasure in it. But the mystery behind all the running is second-hand, the film is twenty minutes too long, and the awe it keeps promising arrives late and sentimental.
- [*Carolina Caroline*](https://film.one/film/carolina-caroline.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 79 · R · 1h 47m · Crime/Drama
  The critical consensus favours Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner’s tender, funny partnership. A familiar lovers-on-the-run story earns a qualified recommendation for its romance, with less enthusiasm for the heavier drama.
- [*Pressure*](https://film.one/film/pressure.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 78 · PG-13 · 1h 41m · Thriller/History · on Peacock
  Andrew Scott makes *Pressure* a tense, rewarding account of the weather decisions before D-Day. The drama is tightly handled and the acting persuasive, though the script makes its case for professional expertise a little too neatly.
- [*Tuner*](https://film.one/film/tuner.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 74 · R · 1h 48m · Crime/Drama
  Daniel Roher’s first fiction film puts a piano tuner’s ears to work on locks, and the sound design makes every click count. The story is one we have heard before, but Woodall, Hoffman and Liu play it as if nobody had.
- [*Is God Is*](https://film.one/film/is-god-is.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 74 · R · 1h 40m · Drama/Thriller · on Amazon Prime Video
  Aleshea Harris’s first film sends twin sisters west to kill the father who burned them, and while it is on the road with Kara Young and Mallori Johnson it is fierce, funny and alive. The look does not always keep up with the writing.
- [*LifeHack*](https://film.one/film/lifehack.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 67 · R · 1h 37m · Thriller/Crime
  Ronan Corrigan’s first feature is a heist told entirely on screens, and for an hour it is quick, funny and cleverer than its gimmick. Then the windows pile up, the pace stops being a pleasure and we found ourselves watching a progress bar. Good, not more.
- [*Obsession*](https://film.one/film/obsession.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 79 · R · 1h 49m · Horror/Thriller · on Peacock
  Curry Barker’s horror about a man who wishes a woman would love him, and gets her, is nasty, funny and properly frightening, and Inde Navarrette is the reason. It is not subtle, and one killing tips into cartoon. Horror fans should go.
- [*Hokum*](https://film.one/film/hokum.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 72 · R · 1h 48m · Horror/Thriller
  Damian McCarthy’s third film puts Adam Scott in a rural Irish hotel with a witch upstairs and frightens us properly for an hour. Then it piles on more plot than it can carry. Good, jumpy and a little untidy; worth your evening if horror is yours.
- [*Mother Mary*](https://film.one/film/mother-mary.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 58 · R · 1h 52m · Music/Drama · on HBO Max
  David Lowery’s pop psychodrama gives Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel plenty to do, but too little that makes their characters matter. The performances and visual craft hold our attention longer than the writing deserves.
- [*Wasteman*](https://film.one/film/wasteman.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 72 · R · 1h 31m · Crime/Drama · on MUBI
  Cal McMau’s debut locks David Jonsson and Tom Blyth in a cell together, and the two of them are worth the ticket. The story around them is the one prison films always tell, and the violence makes its point early and keeps making it.
- [*Exit 8*](https://film.one/film/exit-8.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 72 · PG-13 · 1h 35m · Horror/Mystery · on AMC+
  Genki Kawamura turns a spot-the-difference video game into a white-tiled nightmare about a man who cannot decide anything, and for an hour it is quietly frightening. Then it sits down to explain itself, and the corridor loses its grip.
- [*The Yeti*](https://film.one/film/the-yeti.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 42 · R · 1h 33m · Horror/Thriller · on AMC+
  The yeti is a proper practical creature and Brittany Allen gives it someone worth chasing. Around them, Gene Gallerano and William Pisciotta have made a film that cannot decide whether it is frightened, sad or joking, and settles for slow.
- [*War Machine*](https://film.one/film/war-machine.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 63 · R · 1h 50m · Action/Science Fiction · on Netflix
  Patrick Hughes puts Alan Ritchson through Ranger training and then sets a giant machine on him. The fights are staged with real skill; the men in them are numbers rather than people, so the hits land and the losses do not.
- [*How to Make a Killing*](https://film.one/film/how-to-make-a-killing.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 55 · R · 1h 45m · Comedy/Thriller · on HBO Max
  John Patton Ford moves *Kind Hearts and Coronets* to modern New York and keeps the plot, the pace and the body count while losing the chill. Powell and Qualley make it a pleasant evening; a film about killing seven people should be more than pleasant.
- [*Crime 101*](https://film.one/film/crime-101.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 67 · R · 2h 21m · Crime/Thriller · on Amazon Prime Video
  Bart Layton’s Los Angeles heist film is handsomely built, patiently paced and cast far better than it needed to be. It has also watched *Heat* a great many times, and at 141 minutes we felt each viewing.
- [*Send Help*](https://film.one/film/send-help.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 74 · R · 1h 53m · Horror/Thriller · on Hulu
  Sam Raimi strands a mousy employee and her boss on an island and lets her chair the meeting. Rachel McAdams is superb and the gore is cheerfully vile; the script has fewer ideas than she does. Worth your evening if you can stomach it.
- [*The Rip*](https://film.one/film/the-rip.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 65 · R · 1h 53m · Action/Thriller · on Netflix
  Joe Carnahan puts Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and a room full of cash in a Miami house for one long night, and for an hour it grips. Then the door keeps opening, the script keeps explaining, and the tension leaks out with each new arrival.
- [*28 Years Later: The Bone Temple*](https://film.one/film/28-years-later-the-bone-temple.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 74 · R · 1h 49m · Horror/Thriller · on Netflix
  Ralph Fiennes, a tower of skulls and a Duran Duran record give Nia DaCosta’s sequel its best hour. Jack O’Connell’s cult of tracksuited Jimmys gives it its loudest and least interesting, and the film is only as good as whichever half is on screen.
- [*Dead Man's Wire*](https://film.one/film/dead-mans-wire.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 70 · R · 1h 46m · Crime/Drama · on Netflix
  Gus Van Sant’s account of the 1977 Kiritsis siege is a tight, sweaty, funny two-hander, and Bill Skarsgård is the reason to see it. What it thinks about the man and the country that made him, it mostly leaves to us.
- [*Father Joe*](https://film.one/film/father-joe.md) — 2026 · Fi1m 55 · 1h 56m · Action/Crime
  Luc Besson’s script gives Kiefer Sutherland a collar and a gun and little else. Sutherland plays it dead straight, which is the film’s best joke and its only real idea; around him the violence is loud, the humour flat and the picture oddly cheap.
- [*No Other Choice*](https://film.one/film/no-other-choice.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 78 · R · 2h 19m · Comedy/Crime · on Hulu
  Park Chan-wook turns Westlake’s novel about a laid-off man killing his rivals for a job into a broad, exact black comedy, and Lee Byung-hun is superb in it. It runs long, it repeats itself, and the pictures carry it whenever the script does not.
- [*The Housemaid*](https://film.one/film/the-housemaid.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 66 · R · 2h 11m · Mystery/Thriller · on Starz
  Paul Feig’s adaptation of the airport-novel hit is an hour of polite drift followed by an hour of proper trash, and Amanda Seyfried is the reason to sit through the first to reach the second. It is fun; it is also 131 minutes.
- [*Marty Supreme*](https://film.one/film/marty-supreme.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 82 · R · 2h 30m · Drama/Thriller · on HBO Max
  Josh Safdie’s table tennis film is loud, fast and built around Timothée Chalamet, who is up to it. It runs half an hour too long and loves its hustler more than we could, but the matches alone are worth the ticket.
- [*Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery*](https://film.one/film/wake-up-dead-man-a-knives-out-mystery.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 77 · PG-13 · 2h 25m · Thriller/Mystery · on Netflix
  Rian Johnson’s third Benoit Blanc mystery is colder and more serious than the last, and Josh O’Connor’s young priest gives it a heart. It is also 145 minutes long, and half a dozen good actors spend most of them waiting for a line.
- [*The Secret Agent*](https://film.one/film/the-secret-agent.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 84 · R · 2h 41m · Thriller/Drama
  Kleber Mendonça Filho’s thriller about a hunted man in Recife in 1977 is funny, frightening and made with great care, and Wagner Moura holds it together by hardly moving. It is also long, and the present-day scenes are where you feel it.
- [*Now You See Me: Now You Don't*](https://film.one/film/now-you-see-me-now-you-dont.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 57 · PG-13 · 1h 52m · Crime/Thriller · on Starz
  Ruben Fleischer’s third Horsemen film is quick, glossy and busy, and Rosamund Pike is having a wonderful time as the villain. But it explains every illusion the moment it is over, and a trick you are told about afterwards has not fooled anyone.
- [*The Running Man*](https://film.one/film/the-running-man.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 60 · R · 2h 13m · Action/Thriller · on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+
  Edgar Wright’s version of Stephen King’s novel is quick, handsome and well cast, and for an hour it is a good time. Then it starts repeating itself, the satire never gets under the skin, and the ending loses its nerve.
- [*Sirāt*](https://film.one/film/sirat.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 83 · R · 1h 55m · Drama/Thriller
  Oliver Laxe sends a father and son looking for a missing daughter into a convoy of ravers and across the desert. It is loud, patient and frightening, and it earns nearly all of it; only a late surprise felt written rather than fated.
- [*Bugonia*](https://film.one/film/bugonia.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 72 · R · 1h 59m · Science Fiction/Thriller · on Netflix
  Lanthimos locks Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons in a cellar for two hours, and the result is tense, cruel and often funny. It also knows exactly what it thinks about the people upstairs and the people down there, and it tells us more than once.
- [*Black Phone 2*](https://film.one/film/black-phone-2.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 64 · R · 1h 54m · Horror/Thriller · on Netflix
  Scott Derrickson takes his dead killer out of the basement and into the snow, and the dream sequences, shot on grainy, skipping film, are the best thing in either picture. Around them sits a great deal of explaining, and a sermon we did not order.
- [*It Was Just an Accident*](https://film.one/film/it-was-just-an-accident.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 84 · PG-13 · 1h 43m · Drama/Thriller · on Hulu
  Jafar Panahi, filming without permission after his own spell in prison, puts a torturer in the back of a van and lets his victims argue over him for a hundred minutes. It is funny, frightening and morally serious, and it talks a little too much.
- [*Battle Royale*](https://film.one/film/battle-royale.md) — 2000 · Fi1m 83 · R · 1h 53m · Drama/Thriller · on Tubi
  Kinji Fukasaku’s *Battle Royale* makes its teenage killing contest frightening by taking the teenagers seriously. The flashbacks labour the point, but the cruelty, foolishness and stubborn affection are hard to shake.
- [*A House of Dynamite*](https://film.one/film/a-house-of-dynamite.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 73 · R · 1h 52m · Thriller/Drama · on Netflix
  Kathryn Bigelow returns with a nuclear procedural that plays the same eighteen minutes three times over. The first pass is as frightening as anything she has made; by the third, the structure is costing her tension she cannot spare. Worth your evening, and you will not sleep well.
- [*One Battle After Another*](https://film.one/film/one-battle-after-another.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 87 · R · 2h 42m · Thriller/Crime · on Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max
  Paul Thomas Anderson turns Thomas Pynchon into a chase film, and it is the fastest, funniest thing he has made. It runs 162 minutes and earns most of them; the villains are cartoons.
- [*HIM*](https://film.one/film/him.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 48 · R · 1h 36m · Horror/Mystery · on Netflix
  Marlon Wayans supplies menace, and the football violence has an unpleasant force. But *HIM* smothers its promising subject in blunt symbolism and confused plotting, leaving too few scares to reward the effort.
- [*The Lost Bus*](https://film.one/film/the-lost-bus.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 71 · R · 2h 10m · Drama/Thriller · on Apple TV
  Paul Greengrass makes the wildfire evacuation frightening enough to forgive some familiar writing. Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera give the bus scenes weight, though the family drama works too hard to secure sympathy the danger has already earned.
- [*The Long Walk*](https://film.one/film/the-long-walk.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 72 · R · 1h 48m · Science Fiction/Thriller · on HBO Max
  Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s death march is grim, honest about what it shows, and carried by Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson. It has a single idea and walks it for 108 minutes; the idea holds longer than we expected, though not all the way.
- [*Caught Stealing*](https://film.one/film/caught-stealing.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 68 · R · 1h 47m · Crime/Thriller · on Netflix
  Aronofsky’s lightest film in years is a fast, dirty, frequently funny chase round a 1998 New York that looks lived in rather than dressed. Austin Butler makes a likeable punchbag. It is good company for 107 minutes and gone by morning.
- [*28 Years Later*](https://film.one/film/28-years-later.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 76 · R · 1h 55m · Horror/Thriller · on Netflix
  Danny Boyle and Alex Garland go back to the Britain they emptied in *28 Days Later* and find it stranger and sadder than they left it. For an hour and three quarters this is a frightening, thoughtful horror film. Then come the last five minutes.
- [*Predator: Killer of Killers*](https://film.one/film/predator-killer-of-killers.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 72 · R · 1h 25m · Animation/Action · on Hulu
  Dan Trachtenberg takes the Predator through the Viking age, feudal Japan and the Pacific war in 85 animated minutes, and the fights are as inventive as any the series has staged. The people being fought over are thinner than the blades. Worth an evening if the franchise is yours.
- [*Ballerina*](https://film.one/film/ballerina.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 58 · R · 2h 05m · Action/Thriller · on HBO Max
  Ana de Armas earns the franchise and Len Wiseman’s film spends its first hour explaining why. Once the talking stops and the flamethrowers come out, it is the fun it should have been all along; getting there is a slog.
- [*Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning*](https://film.one/film/mission-impossible-the-final-reckoning.md) — 2025 · Fi1m 63 · PG-13 · 2h 50m · Action/Thriller · on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+
  Christopher McQuarrie’s eighth *Mission: Impossible* has two set pieces, one under the sea and one in the air, as good as any the series has produced. It also has an hour of people explaining the plot to each other before either arrives.
