One of the most-loved, and most-enduring film genres is suspense. People are drawn to the twisty, dark mysteries that leave you guessing and gasping until the very end. From masters like Alfred Hitchcock to modern marvels, here are a few suspense movies you need to see on a dark and stormy night.
1. Psycho. Hitchcock’s most well-known film, tells the tale of a disturbed motel owner. This psychological horror has one of the most iconic murder scenes of all time, and the unexpected twist at the end is well-worth the wait.
2. The Silence Of The Lambs. Young FBI Agent Clarice Starling works with the startling Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter to hunt down a serial killer who is on the loose. This movie is one of the few films to win all five major Oscars.
3. Cape Fear. The original version of this is great too, but Martin Scorsese's remake very well may exceed it. Robert De Niro stars as a revenge-motivated psycho out to ruin Nick Nolte and his family.
4. Blow-Up. This twisted British suspense film is a true modern classic. It follows a photographer who accidentally captures a murder on film, and then discovers that even in pictures, nothing is really what it seems.
