Top Ten Most Suspenseful Movies

A young F.B.I. cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help in catching another serial killer who skins his victims.

The best suspense movie I've ever seen. Anthony Hopkins's acting is really superb. Him saying to Jodie Foster that the lambs had finally stopped screaming is the highlight.

What can I say? Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster are the best performers I have ever watched on the wide screen. They were able to project the characters with excellent performances. A very good movie to watch repeatedly.

The Sixth Sense was a brilliant film. It didn't rely on gore, just suspense. It didn't blast me out of my seat in fright. It just put me on the edge of it. Superb film.

I think this is not a usual film. You need to watch it. This is actually a SUSPENSEFUL movie. It is a little bit old, but it's OK. It can fulfill your need.

Amazing acting, music, and graphics for anyone who wants to have their breath taken away.

The best suspense movie, period. I have not seen one better. It's not horror but a seat-of-your-pants, mind-testing movie that keeps you thinking for days. It's even better the second time!

The best suspense movie ever made. It should be rated as number one on this list.

One of the brainiest movies ever made. Check out the IMDb trivia to know its brilliance in storytelling!

Beautifully shot. The lighting and realistic gore effects for the victim scenes are very stylish. There is a slow buildup to one of the best endings in cinematic history. Also, Morgan Freeman should just voice over every movie.

A movie about a serial killer with a lot of emotions, that circle completed at the climax.

This often gets classified as "horror," but I don't think I agree with that. It is much more psychological. People talk about it being "so violent," but they actually trick you into thinking you see more violence than you actually do in this original. It's a pretty brilliant and suspenseful movie.

Suspense at the end of every part of the series. Absolutely brilliant with some horror and outstanding realistic violence. Thanks to those thoughtful writers for this awesome series with some useful messages.

Waiting for the end was almost scarier than the actual ending. Alfred Hitchcock knew just how to leave you horrified but at the same time wanting to see more. Excellent!

Definitely the first movie that came to mind. This movie IS suspense.

Definitely, it's the greatest movie ever made! It's the "Mother" of suspense movies!

For the time, this was absolutely the definitive suspense.

Let's be honest. At some point in life, we're ALL gonna need a bigger boat.

Awesome movie. Edward Norton rocks. Superb acting by Brad Pitt too. Must-watch movie.

It is actually best cast by Brad Pitt himself. This movie made him famous.

A different movie. This movie falls into many categories. Unexpected ending.

Love. This. Movie. Very scary and sick. It should be remade with a larger budget, but then again, they'd probably ruin it.

One of the best suspense movies ever! Keeps me looking for anything as good.

More frightening and edge-of-your-seat than every film on this list combined.

My absolute favorite horror movie of all time. It's suspenseful and scary.

It is so suspenseful. I could not figure out who the killer was because almost everyone was guilty. This should definitely be #1 by far.

Funny as well as suspenseful. Also a thriller. It's all combined.

This is one of those dark movies that messes with your mind, and it manages to keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end. The ending is just awesome. This movie is a treat for psychological thriller lovers. I'd definitely recommend watching it if you haven't. It'll be worth it.

Damn good movie. I had to watch it twice and plan to watch it again soon.

What the hell! I can't believe this awesome movie is pushed out of the top 10. Mind-boggling.

Best of the Final Destination series. It involves tragic events and a compelling story.

Great movie! The fact you never see the killers' faces is awesome. The French original is great also.
