Disturbing Thriller Films, Filled with Suspense

In general I'm really not crazy about horror movies, admittedly I have never been into the typical blood and gore films of any kind however I will watch the occasional thriller movies even if they have some gruesome or tragic parts.

1.  Bird Box 2018- is a Netflix post apocalyptic dark thriller. The film is based on some kind of supernatural force that has the ability to make people kill themselves after seeing it. In the film a woman Malorie (Sandra Bullock) along with two small children must flee while blindfolded through a forest and river to get to a safe sanctuary.  This film was just released and I will tell you it is fantastic. Full of suspense and horrific peril the story takes you on a journey and the odds of survival are slim.  This movie sports an extremely talented cast and I can tell you it is definitely worth watching.

2.  Get Out 2017- is a disturbing horror film about a young black man (Daniel Kaluuva) who goes to meet his white girlfriend's family and uncovers a secret about her family and the community they live in.  Almost as soon as they arrive he starts to notice how strange the people act but when he announces that he needs to leave.. well lets just say that doesn't go over too good.  I thought this movie was scripted extremely well and had just the right mix of suspense, humor and drama to keep anyone's attention.

3.  A Quiet Place 2018 - is a post apocalyptic horror film. The movie is based on a family struggling to survive in a world taken over by creatures with an acute sense of hearing that will brutally attack any noise that is heard.  The Abbott family looks to have learned a way to live alongside these creatures however you also quickly learn in the movie at what horrific cost they pay as well.. This movie is full of suspense and I have heard they are working on a Part 2. This movie is really well done and will scare you but don't make a sound.

4.  Split 2016 - is a psychological thriller, horror movie and is based on a young man who has 23 different personalities that kidnaps and holds hostage 3 teenage girls in an underground facility.  The movie is full of twists and turns and the suspense definitely keeps you guessing throughout the movie. I really was surprised at the movie's tie to Unbreakable released back in 2000

Another sequel called Glass was released in January 2019 and reprised roles from both Unbreakable and Split..

5.  Glass 2019 - is a psychological superhero thriller film and the final film of a trilogy ..and the sequel to Unbreakable 2000 and Split 2016..  Starring Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy as well as many others.. In the movie the multi personality, Mr. Glass and David Dunn (Bruce Willis) are all locked in a mental hospital with a psychiatrist who is out to prove that the trio do not actually possess super human abilities.. Yeah .. Okay!  Interesting film.. Definitely held my attention.. Full of dramatic events that coincide to leave us spellbound.. Truly thought provoking film.. as well as an excellent thriller..

6.  Frozen 2010 - is an older thriller film that is filled with not for faint of heart suspense. The story is based around a few friends that after a day of skiing they decide to take one more run down the slopes however the resort decides to close early because of looming weather conditions. Because of an error in judgment by the resort employees not all the skiers are accounted for and the ski lift shuts down leaving the friends stranded high above the ground. I have to be honest I have skied a few times in my life and I had no idea how the resorts know where everyone is at any given time so this tragic event is very believable. I also have been on a few chair lifts and they do get extremely high off the ground. This movie is full of some really gruesome parts and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the film.

7.  I Am Legend 2007 - is a post apocalyptic sci fi horror drama and stars Will Smith as a US Army virologist Robert Neville.. The movie is set in NYC after a virus which was created to cure cancer starts wiping out mankind.. leaving Neville as the last human in NYC.. Neville works hard to find a cure for the virus while defending himself against the infected hostile mutants.. While the film has many hard to watch gripping scenes ..I absolutely love this movie..
