Prime Video is home to some of the most compelling and intelligent thrillers available for streaming. Here are three essential films that will keep you guessing, from sci-fi paranoia to decadent psychological drama.
10 Cloverfield Lane: This 2016 sci-fi horror is a masterclass in claustrophobic tension. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as a woman who wakes up in a bunker, told by her captor (John Goodman) that he saved her from a world-ending attack. The film’s suspense comes from the question: is the real danger inside or outside?
