Grant has an ear for lively dialogue and a sharp eye (especially in a delightfully random scene transition that breaks out the dance moves,) but as an experienced actor herself, she’s especially keen at getting killer performances out of her cast. Set in a hospital during one very gnarly, unrelenting night, the film stars Angela Bettis as a nurse whose black market organ-selling scheme goes catastrophically off track when her not-to-bright but extremely determined cousin ( Chloe Farnworth) loses a harvested kidney. If you like a little laughter with your thrills, settle in for a snappy, dark comedy thriller with Brea Grant’s 12 Hour Shift. Image via Magnolia Pictures / Magnet Releasing

Some of them are scary, some of them are funny, some of them are sexy - plenty of them are all that and more - but the one thing the movies below definitely have in common is the classic thriller touch that will keep you surprised, in suspense, and excited for the next reveal. Sure you'll still see the odd simple stalker, the occasional crazed ex, and a spot of classic Hitcockian murder mystery, but for the most part, thrillers have gotten wilder and more genre-bending over the years, leading to the kind of multi-hyphenates that render labels almost useless - hell, several films below could be described as dark comedy sci-fi horror thrillers.īut even though it's harder than ever to slap simple genre labels on things, the Collider staff set out to pick our favorite thrillers of the year, and we came back with one massive, wild list. But thrillers are actually doing pretty great these days too, they've just evolved a bit. And that is correct, because those decades were a dang goldmine of straight-up suspenseful domestic dramas, noir mysteries, and erotic thrillers that kept the blood pumping.
When you think of the heyday of thriller movies, most folks will probably go straight to the 50s/60s era or the 80s/90s era. Looking for the best thrillers of 2020? Well, we've got good news: there were a whole heck of a lot of them.
