Are you looking for great thriller movies yet to be released? Well, I have got good news: there are a lot of them coming your way soon. When you reflect on the glory days of thriller movies, many people go back to the 80s. And they are not wrong, since that period was laced with loads of fantastic thrillers, which kept you at the edge of your seat.
Though current thriller movies have slightly evolved, they are doing pretty dang good. Contemporary scriptwriters have made thriller movies wilder and more genre-bending, though once in a while, you will spot an irrational ex-wife or husband, a stalker, and potentially a classic murder mystery that needs to be solved.
Nowadays, due to the scriptwriters and movie directors pushing boundaries, it is difficult to slap labels on movies. Though it is pretty difficult to classify a movie nowadays, we have picked some upcoming movies. Some of the movies listed are scary, others funny, while many of them blend the two, all of them have a touch of classic thriller movies that will have you shocked, excited, and in suspense as you wait for the next reveal.
