2019’s Must-See Suspense Thriller Films!

The suspense genre is one of the most popular in theatres. The desire to become intimately acquainted with a murderer and to participate in a murder has been a staple of cinematic fantasy from the very beginning. Despite the genre’s evolution, many thrillers’ central concern still centers on mortal danger.

As has been the case for many years, this year’s top movies fall into the category. We take a look at the top thriller films of 2019, several of which have returning directors with significant bodies of work.

“Us” 

Before seeing Jordan Peele’s latest, ‘Us,’ you should probably know what he has to say about his films. One of these societal ills will be the focus of each of my films. The first, titled “Get Out,” addresses issues of racism, apathy, and exclusion.

The film’s investigation of race and socioeconomic dynamics is so deep and nuanced, and its execution is so good, that even those who aren’t interested in the film’s central theme will find something to enjoy. Peele builds his world of duality with precision and aplomb, interweaving his social demons’ within a premise that is both confusing and antagonistic.

A foreboding presence hangs over the day the human race links arms in a symbolic human chain. The main performance by Lupita N’Yongo is both daring and terrifying. During her performance, she shows a range of feelings, ensuring that the audience can’t focus on anything but her. Even if the performances from the rest of the cast are solid, the film’s central theme, which was developed by Peele, steals the show.

Peele’s vision and artistic excellence serve the film well in the gripping horror aspect, while the social metaphor, which isn’t as readily available as ‘Get Out,’ finds him gradually unraveling a nuanced subject.

Peele uses the tethered and the untethered to present a realistic and devastating portrait of modern American society ravaged by social inequalities. Peele deftly makes use of hidden subplots to maximize the film’s limited budget. With a magnificent helicopter shot that would make Stanley Kubrick happy, Peele scores a home run with this surprisingly unique and consequential picture.

“A Good Woman Is Hard To Find”

Sarah Bolger plays a young widow with two children, a boy, and a girl, in the film “A Good Woman Is Hard to Find.” The widow is dealing with the loss of her husband as well as financial difficulties. Just when she thought things couldn’t get much worse, a thug broke into her flat and coerced her into hiding his stolen drugs there. When the lady learns that the robber has connections in the criminal underworld, she seizes the opportunity to uncover the truth about her husband’s death.

This British suspense novel builds slowly but is ultimately satisfying. Sarah Bolger’s versatility as an actress surpassed our expectations. The 28-year-old Irish actress plays the lead role brilliantly, and her performance is the best thing about this average thriller.

“El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”

The fate of Walter White’s business partner Jesse Pinkman is revealed in this Netflix original film, which is set six years after the series’ conclusion. “El Camino,” which takes place shortly after the events of the first episode, focuses on a frightened Jesse shortly after he flees from the neo-Nazi meth dealers. It also includes a few flashbacks depicting previously unseen incidents and bringing back some familiar faces.

Production-wise, “El Camino” lives up to the high standards set by “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan, who not only created the series but also wrote and directed this sequel. But the film is carried by Aaron Paul, who provides a career-best performance as the PTSD-stricken Jesse Pinkman.

El Camino is a fascinating and smart new addition to the “Breaking Bad” universe that largely functions like an extended episode of the original show, and it will gratify viewers who wanted to know a little more about the aftermath of Walter White’s death.

“High Life”

Like a space opera, ‘High Life‘ is terrifying, a theatrical spectacle, and has an eerie, orchestral libretto that eats away at you. Claire Denis makes her directorial return with a story that is both intricate and introspective: a lone father (Pattinson) and his newborn baby.

As their spaceship approaches a black hole, Monte and Willow wait for their fate amid the macabre scene of dead bodies and destruction. Akin to her previous works, Denis frames the relationship between the father and daughter as the film’s primary focus, elegantly capturing their intimacy and vulnerability on camera while giving less weight to the story itself.

Denis’s body of work reveals her propensity for figurative language and subtle storytelling. Her films have what feels like a very personal touch, like a piece of her. Her narrative arc, in both ‘High Life‘ and elsewhere, defies the norms of conventional filmmaking and instead parabolize in an abstract form. This is exactly why “High Life” has been scrutinized; many viewers have called it pretentious and difficult to follow. If you’re a fan of Denis’s films, though, you know there’s more going on than meets the eye.

While its cover depicts a tender photo of a father and daughter, “High Life” is a kaleidoscope of feelings that gradually, but surely and cruelly, reveals the mysteries and horrific secrets it conceals within.

“Drak Waters”

The 2019 biographical legal thriller “Dark Waters” is directed by Todd Haynes and stars Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins, and Bill Camp. The film is based on the true story of corporate defense attorney Robert Bilott, who takes on the case of a West Virginia farmer whose cattle are dying as a result of DuPont’s pollution.

The film is based on Nathaniel Rich’s 2016 New York Times Magazine story “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare.” The film shows the environmental and health risks created by major firms’ unchecked usage of chemicals.

“Dragged Across Concrete”

S. Craig Zahler wrote and directed the 2018 American criminal thriller “Dragged Across Concrete.” Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, Tory Kittles, Jennifer Carpenter, and Don Johnson star in the film.

Brett Ridgeman (Mel Gibson) and Anthony Lurasetti (Vince Vaughn), two police detectives, are suspended after being captured on tape employing excessive force during an arrest. They decide to partner up with a criminal named Henry Johns (Tory Kittles) to rob a deadly gang, as they are in dire financial straits and have nothing left to lose.

As the robbery progresses, the three men experience a series of unexpected and violent confrontations that force them to examine their mo and ideals. “Dragged Across Concrete” got mixed reviews upon its debut, with some criticizing its slow pace and supposed political criticism, while others praised its performances and gritty atmosphere. The film has been described as a “” criminal drama, with a methodical tempo that permits character development and tension to build.

“Ready Or Not”

Picture your first night as a married couple. Feels good, doesn’t it? Oh well, that won’t last forever. The new film from Matt Bettinelli-Olpin is crazy, funny, and incredibly impressive; it will destroy your daydreams and make you want to stay single. All of the elements—dark humor, suspense, and horror—work together effectively.

These recurrent details establish the night’s overarching theme: survival. There are probably more “brides in white” who have experienced hardship than Grace, but she has it the hardest.

As a new member is introduced into the family, the other members play a deadly hunting game in which they all try to make a name for themselves. The new Mrs. must figure out how to turn the tables and make it through the night. At its core, “Ready or Not” carries powerful sentiments of family.

Despite the craziness that follows, the story remains consistent. Its near-parodic depiction of the ruthlessness and arrogance of the wealthy explodes into a lavishly roving drama with distinctive power. The newest work from Olpin lives up to its eponymous billing as a breathtaking, nerve-wracking, and macabrely elegant experience.
