There are very special films built on unexpected plot intrigues and an endless series of dangers to which the heroes are exposed. Emotional tension and interest in the content do not subside in them until the very end.

This is a wonderful kind of cinema, because, as one writer said: “If a film doesn’t tickle your nerves, then it’s not doing its job.”

Forgotten Phoenix The plot of the film is based on the events that occurred on March 13, 1997, when several mysterious lights appeared over the city of Phoenix, Arizona. 17-year-old John Bishop, along with his friends Ashley and Mark, travel to the Arizona desert to find out true nature strange glow.

As they get closer to the solution, they attract the attention of the serial killer himself. Other There was a lot of controversy around the film: does it contradict Christian considerations? But in fact, religion in this film is just a kind of addition around which the philosophy of thinking is built main character. Faith and at the same time disbelief show the psychological state of a woman, making the viewer doubt: “Did we understand the end correctly?” Visit There are no usual cliches in this film. There are just two scared kids trying to figure out what the hell is going on around them. By the end of the film, you will feel like a third child, drawn into the events taking place on the screen, and you will wait, eagerly await how it will all end, how the filmmakers will explain what is happening. law abiding citizen The film shows what a deceitful system can bring a person to. happy life the main character, after the murder of his wife and daughter, hiding, living on the edge of madness, is plunged into a state of numbness: what will happen next? And only the feeling of unrealized revenge of a broken person allows you to not go crazy, to stay at the very edge. Exam Four men and four women: all of different types and backgrounds. In a silent, tense atmosphere in a laconicly furnished room, they wait for the test to begin. The examiner enters, gives clear short instructions, they are given one question, to which, after 80 minutes, they need to give one answer. Time has passed, the game has begun... Fatal number 23 Obsession with numbers is a familiar theme. The film, for all its paranoia and mysticism, seems to wedge itself into ordinary reality. Absolutely, the majority of those who watch it will immediately begin to look for this treasured number in their surroundings, the main thing is not to go crazy themselves. Isn't this a sign of the quality of the movie? Captives Evil infects society. It sneaks into one of us first, and then entangles everyone around us. The crimes will continue until the criminal who is the carrier of this evil is caught, and with each new victim the number of infected people wanting revenge grows. Hatred towards justice, towards the police, towards those who should have stopped all this is growing. Devil's Knot The style of the courtroom film is limited in itself, but the director did everything to avoid the slowness of the story. Three children were killed with particular cruelty, and those who seemed most suspicious to society fell under the wheels of the justice machine. The criminal case is a mess, the evidence is ridiculous, and the worst thing is that the real killer may still be walking free. House of Dreams In the life of a wealthy publisher, a self-confident man, a caring head of the family, strange, inexplicable changes occur - his house from a citadel of calm and understanding turns into a shelter for a mentally unbalanced person. This film boasts a rather unpredictable ending: when the viewer is almost sure that he has figured out the essence and intent, everything turns out to be a little more confusing and exciting.

Strange town in Georgia

“I was passing through Georgia. Since I live in Florida, very few trips are spent without going through Georgia. Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice and decided to wait for the next turn, which resulted in me turning onto a road with no lights, no civilization and no other cars.”

Abandoned mental hospital buildings

“In my city there is a complex of buildings of abandoned mental hospitals and schools for the mentally retarded. They were closed due to the terrible treatment of people and the extremely poor quality of life of the patients. There are underground tunnels connecting many buildings (several people have gone missing there)."

Aokigahara, Japan

"Aokigahara, Japan. It's horrible. At first you will think that it is beautiful here. This forest is located at the foot of Mount Fuji, so you can't go wrong: at first glance, this place is beautiful. But when you go further, you will soon realize that you are wrong. Here the dolls are nailed to trees, hanging from branches, lying in the bushes.”

North Korea

“Seriously, I can’t remember any other place where I was more scared than North Korea. It amazes me that Westerners voluntarily travel to this terrible place. I know it’s safe because tourism is a source of income, but I would be afraid of saying the wrong thing or talking to the wrong person and ending up in a camp.”

BSL-4 laboratory where infectious disease research is conducted

“My father is a virologist and he worked in this laboratory with different strains of viruses such as smallpox and Ebola. Most people don't realize how scary it is. The scenes on television of people going into these laboratories and working there don't tell the whole story."

Red forest near Chernobyl

"The most scary place, which I have ever been to, is located next to the Red Forest near Chernobyl. This is really beautiful place, the foliage turns bloody red in the fall, and the ground is covered with a veil of snow. The worst thing is that very close to the forest there is something that can destroy you and all living things.”

Killing Fields in Cambodia

“Killing Fields and S-21 Prison in Cambodia. They're so scary. Human bones are still visible on the roads, huge pillars of human skulls with holes in them where they were beaten to death. And the prison is former school, which was turned into a torture chamber."

Xochimilco Island

“My father’s friend works for Xochimilco and he organized a tour for us. If you don't know, Xochimilco is a maze of canals and small islands. During the day it's great to swim in small boats. People in the same boats sell food and beer. But if you decide to swim in the dark at night, it will be a very frightening experience.”

Bolton Strid

“At first glance, it appears to be a harmless small stream in Yorkshire, England. However, none of those who fell into this stream survived. The probability of death if hit is 100%. It seems that you can just jump from stone to stone, but no - you will die. It's scary. Something so harmless could be a real death trap."

Haunted castle ruins in Scotland

“On the west coast of Scotland, next to the sea, there is a castle where every morning and every evening the sea haar, a frightening fog, descends. The castle itself lies in ruins. According to legend, the castle was ruled by a husband and wife until he drowned her in a lake and buried her in a swamp. He was soon found dead in the lake, and the ghost of his wife haunts the swamp to this day.”

Wall near the coast of Saint Croix

“Not far from the coast of the island of St. Croix there is a place simply called “The Wall.” This is a favorite spot for divers, and every photo from this place on the Internet shows beautiful underwater corals. Reality? In reality, it’s a frightening four-kilometer drop straight to the bottom of the ocean.”

Spooky farm with former nursing home

“My friend's family owns a farm in the countryside. There is an empty house on the farm that was previously a nursing home. The door to it is blocked by boxes and other things. The only way to get inside is through the morgue in the basement. And when you get into the house, the first thing you see is this scary rocking chair.”

Pine Barrens, New Jersey

“The Pine Barrens in northern New Jersey is a huge area where the trees grow so close together that when you get into the forest it's pitch black. Moreover, the land here is marshy and consists of black peat. It is so dark that the whole earth seems to be black.”

Hashima Island, Japan

“Hashima Island in Japan is a completely abandoned mining island whose population was evacuated in one day. The rotting remains of everyday objects are scattered everywhere. You can only get here and get out during certain periods of the year. In addition, it is located near Nagasaki, which only adds to the horror of this place.”

Higgins Lake in Northern Michigan

“There is a lake in Northern Michigan called Higgins Lake. Beautiful waters And great place generally. However, the water is surprisingly shallow for many meters from the coast. However, then there is a sudden change in depth, and the color of the water changes from tropical blue to almost black.”

Death zone at the top of Mount Everest

The "death zone" at the top of Mount Everest, where experienced climbers such as Rob Hall die when they fail to turn around in time or are caught off guard by a storm. I know he's played Russian roulette with his life too many times, but calling his pregnant wife while he was waiting to freeze to death is heartbreaking."

Centralia, Pennsylvania

"Centralia, Pennsylvania. My friends and I snuck there at night when we found out that the creators Silent Hill inspired by this place. When you're surrounded by destroyed buildings and the smoke of invisible fires that never go out, you can't help but feel the presence of terror and panic in the air."

Some scary places in Virginia

“I have several places like this. Crawfor Road. There was a lynching on this road, and a woman hanged herself from the bridge on her wedding day. St Albans Sanatorium is another scary place. Indian Territory where the battle took place during Civil War, and later a mental hospital was built.”

Odessa catacombs in Ukraine

"Odessa catacombs. Imagine being stuck in a three-level labyrinth of dark mines, 2,500 kilometers long. After days of endless walking, screaming, and thinking about every regret you have and every experience you won't have, you just collapse to the ground in exhaustion.

Darien Gap

"From what I've read, the Darien Gap, which separates Central and South America, is full of plants that can kill you, insects that can kill you, and guerrillas that will kidnap you and sell you to your family."

Thrillers tend to excite audiences even more than standard horror films. And why all? They play not only on our natural feeling fear, but also properly mock our minds. Not every viewer who likes to tickle his nerves will choose a movie of this genre for these purposes. Even if you type the phrase “best films, list” into the search bar, thrillers will not occupy even 10% of this list. For an unprepared viewer, films such as “Suicide Hall” or “Chat” will not only remain incomprehensible, but in general can cause disgust towards the country that produced such films. They usually leave a rather unpleasant aftertaste, which can only be overcome by a good one. Although most moviegoers are not deterred by such consequences, so the “thriller” genre can still be safely called one of the most preferred. Every fan of this genre has a personal list. It is useless to challenge it, because as many people as there are, so many preferences. We will try to describe some of the most famous and will definitely mention the paintings that are loved by a narrow circle of viewers.

Subjectivism and film mania

One of the absolute favorites is the film “No Feelings” (2007) with Jason Behr in leading role. This is a film adaptation of a not very popular novel of the same name, which can evoke such a palette of emotions that it will take several days to rehabilitate. The impression lingers for a long time thanks to not only the good work of the screenwriters, but also the amazing acting. This picture definitely deserves the right to open the list of the best thrillers.

Also very powerful is the film with the disgusting title “Dead Man,” which clearly shows the level of morality of modern youth. In this genre it is difficult to find a film with an even more striking anti-social theme, however, it is played out there in a very unique way.

The recent “Ashes” with a cutie in the leading role, a thriller with a large admixture of drama, “keeps” under the impression for several days after viewing, because its ending plunges the viewer into deep shock.

The above-mentioned film “Chat” is quite strange and unpredictable, but this makes it even more interesting. It ended up on this list of the best thrillers by pure chance, but apparently stayed there for a long time.

The film “The Pit” boasts the most unusual plot from the entire list. Good cast, interesting scenario and a strong atmosphere bring it to the top of our rating.

Such a mysterious foggy Albion

Quite interesting is the fact that the country of origin of most of the films listed is Great Britain. It becomes a little scary for the people: what are they constantly thinking about on their islands if they are making such a movie?! Maybe they are imagining something in the fog, or maybe the rain won’t wash away the melancholy?

In short, Great Britain is a true master of thrillers, but, of course, everyone has mistakes. The list of the best thrillers should definitely include “Trance” (2013), which will seem too sophisticated to an inexperienced viewer. In an effort to express an interesting idea, the director went overboard with the plot and slightly “smeared” the characters. And in general, remembering the best thrillers of 2013, the list will open and immediately close with the film “Prisoners” - the trend, as always, is depressing.
