Thrillers are designed to hold your interest and elicit feelings of suspense and anticipation. You’ll often hear the term ‘nail-biting’ and ‘edge of your seat’ attributed to a thriller.
Movies categorized as thrillers can produce anxiety towards characters within the narrative. The protagonist will more than likely be in danger from the very beginning of the film.
Thrillers generally don’t include a lot of graphic violence unless specifically included with another genre.
A chaotic, emotionally raw indie drama, Bound (2025) is a bruising look at survival through the eyes of a young woman caught in cycles of trauma. Gritty, dark, and often disorienting, this passion project doesn’t ask to be liked, only to be felt. A challenging watch, but hard to ignore.

Vulcanizadora (2024) is a black comedy by Joel Potrykus.. Male detachment, guilt, and moral collapse.

A bold entry into cult cinema territory, it’s a film that challenges, unsettles, and sticks with you.
Into the Deep (2025) splashes sharks, pirates & Richard Dreyfuss into 90 min of brain-off mayhem. Mother of Movies review dives into the chaos.

They said it would scare me silly, but Terrified unsettled me instead. With levitating bodies, undead children, and a whole lot of calm denial, this Argentine horror is more tonally fascinating than flat-out frightening. I wasn’t terrified, but I was deeply intrigued. #motherofmovies
A true-crime junkie, three dates, and a serial killer — F** Marry Kill* sounds like a dream premise, but this dating app horror flick has all the right faces and all the wrong bits.
