Thriller movies are reserved for the most fearless of movie fanatics.

Rather than the blood and gore of many horror films, thrillers are full of conflict, unexpected twists and tensions that have you on the edge of your seats. Better yet, the anxiety, terror and uncertainty inflicted on a viewer by thrillers can force them to question themselves, their close ones and even their own reality.

From the 2010 Oscar-winning film Black Swan to all new 2024 releases including Damsel, which sees Millie Bobby Brown star as a princess forced to defend herself against a fire-breathing dragon, and the biggest hits of 2023, like Saltburn, there's a range of plot lines to keep you hooked.

That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of the best thriller movies to watch that are sure to have you biting your nails throughout.

It's one of the most talked-about films of recent years, but if you still haven't seen Emerald Fennell's second film, Saltburn, which takes inspiration from Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, then mark it as one to watch – if not for that naked Sophie Ellis-Bextor soundtracked dance scene.

The film tells the story of Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) who befriends the beautiful, wealthy and aristocratic Felix Catton while studying at Oxford. When Catton invites Quick to his family's estate, deftly named Saltburn, things quickly start to unravel for Quick and the circle of people he's elbowed his way to the heart of.
