Although Parasite was the newest South Korean thriller, only a year earlier, the country produced another genre of brilliant film. Since introducing her new lover, Burning tracks a young man who reunites with her young girl only to momentarily vanish.
The film is an extreme slow burn that enables the viewer to feel comfortable before increasing their pace. It makes the audience guess how dark the story is really. It also has Steven Yeun's phenomenally disturbing results.

In the intense and strong film "Take Shelter", Michael Shannon gives one of his best performances. He plays a loving family member who starts to see a devastating hurricane. When he attempts to advise and defend his family, others challenge his health.
The work of Shannon carries the movie since he plays a complicated and friendly character who can be very terrifying. The issue whether or not he's right to lose his mind causes uncertainty in the whole movie.

Denis Villeneuve is popular today for major films such as Blade Runner 2049 and the forthcoming Dune, but he has dealt with Enemy more intimately. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an unthinking man who finds an actor he saw in a movie that seems like him.
Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal proved to be a strong pair with the superb thriller prisoners for the abduction. Enemies are much harder to dissect and a compelling dark story exists.

5.The Gift(2015)

The cast is outstanding and the intimate and grim mood is really sold. The Gift is another film in which the viewer doesn't know the villain's character and the perpetrator.

The film recounts the story of a serial killer named 'Zodiac' who killed her victims during the 1960s and 1970s in the wake of real-life events. 'Zodiac' is an irritable lesson to do suspense with a plot which gains full dynamics with small events and is not conceptually important to the heart of the study. David Fincher's absolute masterpiece.

2. The Machinist(2004)

For his many film appearances, Christian Bale is remembered for his dramatic transformations, but none of them were as dramatic as he did with The Machinist. Bale plays with an emaciated man who is afflicted with insomnia by an unseen attacker.
Bale is exceptional and dedicates very deeply to his intense achievement. As the plot steadily builds, Bale's character's audience is starting to experience the same lack of truth.

1.Shutter Island(2010)

Instead, the agent sees his time as less fun than he would have expected, endangering his health and well-being.
