More Heart Stopping Thriller Movies

1. 47 Meters Down 2017 - is a thriller survival drama film based on two sisters (Claire Holt and Mandy Moore) who while on vacation in Mexico agree to go out a cage dive to see sharks up close.. However when the cable breaks the cage plummets to the ocean floor with the two girls trapped inside and low on air..  Although the movie received mixed reviews.. I thought it was realistic in many ways .. 1. Doesn't feature any unrealistic large aggressive stalking shark.. 2. Highlights that just because there may be plenty of shark dive cage excursions available not all may have well maintained equipment.. 3. How important air capacity is when undertaking any dive event.. especially one in an ocean while surrounded by sharks..  This film makes perfect sense to me.. and one I will not soon forget.. I know they are working on releasing a sequel 47 Meters Down Uncaged in June 2019

2. The Meg 2018 - is a sci fi thriller movie based loosely on a book titled Meg A Novel of Deep Terror.. The movie has an outstanding cast and follows a group of scientists who encounter a 75 foot Megalodon (prehistoric shark) while on a rescue mission in the Pacific Ocean... This movie is definitely action packed and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the film.. Loved It..

3. The Shallows 2016 - is a thriller survival film based on a lone surfer (Blake Lively) who gets stranded 200 yards from the shore after she is attacked by a great white shark.. While this movie met with mixed reviews I found it completely riveting.. Even though everyone knows you should never surf alone .. I am certain some people do.. like in this film.. Anyway.. after she is attacked she has to consistently fight and keep her wits about her to survive..  This movie is definitely worth watching..

4. The Mountain Between Us 2017 - is a survival drama film based on a surgeon (Idris Elba) and a journalist (Kate Winslet) who survive a plane crash with a dog in the High Uintas (Utah mountain range) and immediately have to struggle with injuries and under extreme weather conditions in order to survive.. Immediately upon watching this film you realize if your regular flight is cancelled due to weather conditions why on earth would two smart people decide to hire a private pilot to still take them to their destination.. (definitely not a smart move).. Than they fight over waiting waiting to be rescued or leaving the wreckage to hopefully get help..  The movie has a great romantic undertone as these people have to totally depend on each other in order to make it out of the mountains.. I thought this film was well acted.. full of drama, inspiring and at times heart breaking.. Loved it.. a definite must see movie..

5. The Revenant 2015 - is a semi biographical western survival film based in part on a novel by the same name written by Michael Punke in which he describes Hugh Glass's (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) experiences in 1823..  In the film Hugh Glass is hired to guide trappers through the territory...and while this film is full of twists and turns filled with plenty of dramatic scenes including the scene where Glass is mauled by a bear and left for dead... it is truly inspiring and gut wrenching.. I really enjoyed the movie from start to finish..

A World Unseen is The Revenant's documentary made that highlights the cinematic achievements..

Hugh Glass was a real frontiersman, trapper and explorer who died in 1833.. He was best known for his story of survival and retribution after being left for dead when mauled by a grizzly bear..
