Strange town in Georgia
“I drove through Georgia. Since I live in Florida, there are very few trips without moving around Georgia. Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice and decided to wait for the next turn, as a result of which I turned onto a road without lights, without civilization and other cars.
Abandoned mental hospital buildings
“In my city there is a complex of buildings of abandoned mental hospitals and schools for the mentally retarded. They were closed due to the terrible treatment of people and the extremely low quality of life of patients. There are underground tunnels connecting many of the buildings (several people went missing there).”
Aokigahara, Japan
Aokigahara, Japan. It's horrible. At first, you will think that it is beautiful here. This forest is located at the foot of Mount Fuji, so you can't go wrong: at first glance, this place is beautiful. But when you go further, you will soon realize that you are wrong. Here the dolls are nailed to the trees, hanging from the branches, lying in the bushes.
North Korea
“Seriously, I can’t think of another place where I was more scared than in North Korea. It amazes me that people from the West volunteer to travel to this terrible place. I know it's safe because tourism is a source of income, but I would be afraid to say the wrong thing or talk to the wrong person and end up in a camp."
BSL-4 laboratory where infectious disease research is carried out
“My father is a virologist and he worked in this laboratory with various strains of viruses such as smallpox and Ebola. Most people don't realize how scary this is. The scenes of people going into these labs and working there that are shown on TV don't describe everything."
Red forest near Chernobyl
“The scariest place I have ever been is next to the Red Forest near Chernobyl. It is truly a beautiful place, the foliage turns blood red in autumn and the ground is covered with a veil of snow. The most terrible thing is that very close to the forest there is something that can destroy you and all living things.
Killing Fields in Cambodia
“Killing Fields and Prison S-21 in Cambodia. They are so intimidating. Human bones are still visible on the roads, huge pillars of human skulls with holes in them where they were beaten to death. And the prison is a former school that has been turned into a torture chamber.”
Xochimilco Island
“My dad's friend works for Xochimilco and he organized a tour for us. If you don't know, Xochimilco is a labyrinth of canals and small islands. During the day it is great to swim in small boats. People in the same boats sell food and beer. But if you decide to swim in the dark at night, it will be a very frightening experience.”
Bolton Strid
“At first glance, this is a harmless little stream in Yorkshire, England. However, none of those who fell into this stream survived. The probability of death when hit is 100%. It seems that you can just jump from stone to stone, but no - you will die. It scares. Something so harmless could be a real death trap."
Ruins of a haunted castle in Scotland
“On the west coast of Scotland, next to the sea, there is a castle, where every morning and every evening the sea haar, a frightening fog, descends. The castle itself is in ruins. According to legend, the castle was ruled by a husband and wife until he drowned her in a lake and buried her in a swamp. He was soon found dead in the lake, and the ghost of his wife haunts the swamp to this day."
Wall near the coast of St. Croix
“Not far from the coast of the island of St. Croix is a place that is simply called “The Wall”. It is a favorite place for divers and every photo from this place on the web shows beautiful underwater corals. Reality? In reality, this is a frightening four-kilometer cliff right to the bottom of the ocean.
Scary farm with a former nursing home
“My friend's family owns a farm in the countryside. The farm has an empty house that used to be a nursing home. The door to it is blocked by boxes and other things. The only way to get inside is to enter through the morgue in the basement. And when you get into the house, the first thing you see is a scary rocking chair.”
Pine Barrens, New Jersey
“Pine Barrens, in northern New Jersey, is a vast area where trees grow so close together that it is pitch dark when you enter the forest. Moreover, the land here is swampy and is black peat. It is so dark that it seems that the whole earth is black.
Hashima Island, Japan
“Hashima Island in Japan is a completely abandoned mining island whose population was evacuated in one day. The rotting remains of everyday objects are scattered all over the place. You can get here and get out of here only during a certain period of the year. In addition, it is located near Nagasaki, which only adds to the horror of this place.
Higgins Lake in Northern Michigan
“There is a lake in Northern Michigan called Higgins Lake. Lovely waters and a great place overall. However, the water is unexpectedly shallow for many meters from the coast. But then there is a sudden drop in depth, and the color of the water changes from tropical blue to almost black.”
The death zone at the top of Mount Everest
The "death zone" at the top of Mount Everest, where experienced climbers like Rob Hall die when they don't turn around in time or are caught off guard by a storm. I know he played Russian roulette with his life way too often, but his call to his pregnant wife while he was waiting to freeze to death is heartbreaking."
Centralia, Pennsylvania
Centralia, Pennsylvania. My friends and I made our way there at night when we found out that the creators of Silent Hill were inspired by this place. When you're surrounded by ruined buildings and the smoke of invisible fires that never die out, you can't help but feel the presence of terror and panic in the air."
Some spooky places in Virginia
“I have several such places. Crawfort Road. There was a lynching on this road, and a woman hanged herself from the bridge on her wedding day. Sanitarium St. Albans is another intimidating place. Indian territory where a battle took place during the Civil War, and later a mental hospital was built.
Odessa catacombs in Ukraine
Odessa catacombs. Imagine that you are stuck in a three-level labyrinth of dark mines, the length of which is 2500 kilometers. After days of endless walking and screaming and thinking about every regret you have and every experience you won't have, you just collapse to the ground exhausted.

This film boasts a rather unpredictable ending: when the viewer is already almost sure that he has guessed the essence and intention, everything turns out to be a little more confusing and exciting. June 14, 2018Thrillers tend to excite audiences even more than standard horror films. And all why? They play not only on our natural sense of fear, but also properly mock our minds. Not every viewer who likes to tickle his nerves will choose a movie of this genre for these purposes. Even if you enter the phrase “best movies, list” in the search box, thrillers will not occupy even 10% of this list. For an unprepared viewer, films such as "Suicide Room" or "Chat" will not only remain incomprehensible, but in general can cause disgust for the country that produces such a movie. After them, a rather unpleasant aftertaste usually remains, which can only be interrupted by a good one. Although most moviegoers do not scare away such consequences, therefore the “thriller” genre can still be safely called one of the most preferred. Each fan of this genre has a personal list. It is useless to dispute it, because how many people - so many preferences. We will try to describe some of the most famous and be sure to mention the paintings loved by a narrow circle of viewers.
Subjectivism and cinematography
One of the absolute favorites is the film "Without Feelings" (2007) with Jason Behr in the title role. This is a film adaptation of a not too popular novel of the same name, which can cause such a palette of emotions that it will take several days to rehabilitate. The impression lingers for a long time thanks not only to the good work of the scriptwriters, but also to the amazing acting. This picture definitely deserves the right to open the list of the best thrillers.
Also very strong is the film with the disgusting title "Dead Man", which clearly shows the level of morality of today's youth. In this genre, it is difficult to find a film with an even more vivid anti-social theme, however, it is beaten there in a very peculiar way.
The recent "Ashes" with a cutie in the title role, a thriller with a lot of drama, "keeps" under the impression for more than one day after viewing, because its ending plunges the viewer into a deep shock.
The above-mentioned film "Chat" is rather strange and unpredictable, but this makes it even more interesting. In this list of the best thrillers, he got by pure chance, but stayed there, apparently, for a long time.
The most unusual plot from the entire list can boast of the film "The Pit". A good cast, an interesting script and a strong atmosphere bring him to the top of our rating.
Such a mysterious foggy Albion
Quite interesting is the fact that the country of origin of most of the films listed is the United Kingdom. It becomes a little scary for the people: what are they constantly thinking about on their islands if they make such a movie?! Maybe they see something in the fog, or the rain won't wash away the melancholy?
In a word, Great Britain is a real master of thrillers, but, of course, punctures happen to everyone. The list of the best thrillers should definitely include Trance (2013), which will seem too tricky to an inexperienced viewer. In a rush to express an interesting idea, the director was too clever with the plot and slightly “smeared” the characters. And in general, remembering the best thrillers of 2013, the list will be opened and immediately closed by the film "Prisoners" - a depressing trend, as always.
A good psychological thriller can turn a movie show into one big, never-ending tickle. We present to your attention the best psychological thrillers that do not collect full houses and are not present in every home collection, but we are sure that watching them will give you a lot of pleasure.
