If you’re looking for suspense that is intelligent, well-acted, and character-driven, Prime Video has three standout films that fit the bill perfectly.
First, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a brilliant sci-fi horror film. It traps its protagonist (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in a bunker with a man (John Goodman) who claims the world outside is gone. It’s a masterful puzzle of paranoia and truth.
Second, Black Bag is a sophisticated spy thriller for adults. Starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, it follows an MI6 agent who is forced to investigate his own wife for treason, a mission that tests his loyalty and his sanity.
Third, Saltburn is a unique and provocative psychological drama. Barry Keoghan stars as an Oxford student whose infatuation with a wealthy classmate leads to a summer of dark, sensual, and manipulative mind games at a lavish country estate.
