If you’re a film buff, then finding the best suspense movie is probably something you’re keen to explore.

With so many rehashed storylines out there, it’s refreshing to come across something that both shocks and thrills you throughout.

Now, there aren’t many of these films, but Leonardo DiCaprio’s Shutter Island is a top contender.

Circling the twisted world of insane asylums, it shows Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, who are two top US marshals, that are sent to an asylum on a remote island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient.

This patient is said to be a man who murdered his wife and kids and is extremely dangerous.

However, nothing is as it seems and this is where Teddy uncovers a shocking truth about the place and himself.

For anyone who has watched the movie, it sticks with you for a long time afterwards and there’s plenty mixed emotions to go with it.

At first, I was dumbfounded, then frustrated and angry on behalf of the character. But I came to accept it and it’s definitely a top 10 film after providing that rollercoaster of emotions.

But there’s another movie eerily similar with the shock value and the ‘unreliable narrator’ point of view which makes for an exciting journey.

Do you know what it is?

It’s The Girl on The Train.

Starring Emily Blunt, it’s clearly a flick to get stuck into, and even critics think so too.

This 2016 suspenseful thriller is based on a novel of the same name, written by Paula Hawkins which follows the story of commuter Rachel Watson.

Watson takes the same train every day and during this ride, she sits at the window seat to catch glimpses of a seemingly perfect couple who live in a gorgeous home in the countryside.

However, things would quickly go wrong after she accidentally sees something she shouldn’t have and gets muddled into a police investigation, with herself becoming incriminated due to her unreliable past and memories.

Beginning her own investigation, it becomes clear that she can trust no one, not even those close to her.

It’s an absolute belter of a film and viewers agree.

On Rotten Tomatoes, one person wrote: “It is a really exciting film. It is a good plot based on a novel. This pared with nice acting makes this film to a good thriller/drama. The psychological aspect of alcohol addiction is shown very well an realistic. Its something special if you can throw your self in.”

Another penned: “Ultimately a typical Hollywood whodunit, but with enough quirkiness, twists & turns, clever back and forth timelines, blurring of memories due to alcoholism that it made for rapt viewing.”

Someone else wrote: “Pretty twisted and messed up, but goes to show how people can become confused with social media and lead themselves into believing fantastic things. It touched on the loneliness of modern life and its relation to poor relationships. It also had an interesting gaslighting aspect to it with drinking. It was on FX.”
