1. Se7en (1995)

Even a film as dark and chilling as David Fincher’s “Se7en”, the masterpiece is still a great source of inspiration for creating crimes as fundamental as human and as unique that the public is left full of questions after Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, there are only two men to solve it. Se7en encompasses a few important aspects of a crime thriller—slowly walking so as not to attract attention, creepy visuals, and a final plot twist that still shocks the public. Devito’s Se7en has many of those features that continue to stick with you the most.

2. The Lasmb’ Silence (1991)

One of the most creative award-winning horror films, this movie that won an Oscar blended crime drama with horror, thus making crime-drama dead meat. The most important advice to be followed to find the next serial killer is that the FBI trainee induce a man to go between the other murderers using his influence, who is a very smart but bad guy, Dr. 2. The part of Hannibal Lecter, a character that Anthony Hopkins played in the movie, was great.

3. Psycho (1960)

Alfred Hitchcock, the director who created the thriller genre, presented his audience with the film Psycho, an unsurpassed film that not only rewrote but also turned the history of suspense films upside down and has since then been the archetype of the psychological thriller genre.

4. Zodiac (2007)

The new non-typical crime procedural thriller is about the real story of searching for the Zodiac Killer in 70s San Francisco. The film is directed by David Fincher and mars him not at all, but just the opposite—it’s also one of his propitious works applied with skillful casting and a very high level of attention to every detail.

5. The Dragon Tattooed Girl (2011)

That it’s Fincher who’s guiding the best-selling “fiercely cool and dark” version most certainly wasn’t unexpected. The fact that characters of Daniel Craig’s journalist and Rooney Mara’s hacker Lisbeth Salander continue investigating the abuse, corruption, and murder in the house of a rich family in the north of Sweden while, at the same time, the duo is portrayed as cold and frosty to each other was the core of the event.

6. Old Men’s No Country (2007)

The film is based on The Coen Brothers’ novel, a slow-paced mystery movie filled with tension due to the unseen threats and a terrifying and thrilling performance of Javier Bardem in the role of Anton Chigurh, a psychic who has no shame to kill and, what’s more, is so badly twisted that he does not feel that at all. A superb piece, of minimal design, and extremely disturbing.

7. Inmates (2013)

It opens with a harrowing crime in a lonely sandpit, Denis Villeneuve’s movie, a thriller so painful and tough to watch that the actors who played the main roles are still haunted by their portrayals. The film’s tagline “The truth always comes with only one thing. Pain.” speaks for the director’s goal to show moral ambiguity at its best.

8. The rear window 1954

Alfred Hitchcock’s follow-up to the iconic film North by Northwest, Rear Window, provides the best example of the visual representation of Poe’s theory of the single effect, keeping the camera close, except for the sequence in which a photographer whose role is played by James Stewart makes an open charge at his next-door neighbor. Besides that, the movie has kept the audience completely podselfpodpitya, thus maximizing the effect of fear.

9. Gone Girl (2014)

This 21st-century thriller-beast of a film presents the multiple aspects of life, contemporary marriage, and the influence over the media by manipulation. In fact, when Amy Dunne disappears, everyone thinks that her husband, Nick (Ben Affleck), is the perpetrator, but the actual situation differs vastly from the idea people have. This movie features many twists and turns, is acerbic and satirical – in the event – and at the same time, is a whodunnit of Andrea Dworkin’s dream.

10. (1999) The Sixth Sense

What made M. Night Shyamalan’s early work such a hit was that the twist was completely unexpected. The child with the psychic powers is the hero of the film which also has a psychologist as a major character (Bruce Willis). A sad and moving motion picture that rewards through multiple views despite its serious tone and great moral value.
