2010 was a prolific year for thrillers. It was this year that the famous film by Christopher Nolan "Inception" with the participation of Leonardo DiCaprio was released, which to this day ranks seventh in the ranking of the most popular films of "Kinopoisk". But what thrillers and horror films will we still remember this year? Let's try to make a list of the best thrillers of 2010.

Stone

Not to say that it's a masterpiece, but you can even look at it. What is worth the cast alone: Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich, etc. The film revolves around the jailer Jack and an accomplice in the murder - the prisoner Stone, who will stop at nothing to get out. He blackmails Jack and is faced with a difficult choice - either destroy his family happiness or help Stone escape.

Black Swan

Thriller starring Natalie Portman. As it turns out, there is nothing worse thanrivalry between a pair of prima ballerinas. What their war resulted in can be seen in the film. We are publishing a trailer that will tell about the plot of events better than any words.

City of Thieves

One of the best thrillers of 2010 starring Ben Affleck. One of the residents of Boston, Doug McRae, really wanted not to follow in the footsteps of daddy - an inveterate bank robber. But fate decreed otherwise. Before he could look back, he became the leader of a gang of bandits. And what it resulted in - see the film.

The killer inside me

Deputy sheriff and part-time serial killer maniac - a hell of a mixture for cinema. This is exactly what screenwriters John Curran and Jim Thompson thought when they wrote their script for Casey Affleck. Well, they did pretty well. Directed by Michael Winterbottom, it turned out quite watchable. Trailer attached.

Sanctum

If it weren't for "Inception" with Leonardo DiCaprio, this film could certainly claim the rank of the best thriller of 2010. And so he has only the second place, but well-deserved. A terrible case of flooding a deep cave, into which, as usual, a group of speleologists, thirsty for exploits, fame and extreme climbed, robbed the world community of more than 100 million dollars, paying back its budget three times.

30 Days of Night: Darktimes

Despite the fact that the film turned out to be more of a failure, fans of the first part should watch it. Yes, 2010's 30 Days of Night: Dark Times was intended to be a sequel to 30 Days of Night (2007). But either the budget of filmmakers was cut, or the screenwriter gave out a seedy intrigue, or the director failed to cope … As a result, the film came out somehow not like that. The horror atmosphere in 30 Days of Night: The Dark Times (2010), although the story had the potential to become a long-running franchise. That is why everything looks somehow flat and superficial. Those who are interested can watch the trailer.

Drilling

The film "Drilling" (2010) by American filmmakers told about what can be "drilled" from under the earth's thickness in addition to oil and gas. Here, the drillers in their agility "drilled" to the depths and places where some ancient creature slept. Well, you yourself know how angry a person can be if his sleep is disturbed. The creature did not differ much from a person in this sense, and therefore gave the drillers a real “acceleration”. Not to say that the film "Rig" directed by Peter Atensio with William Forsyth in the lead role is such a masterpiece of horror, and what is especially efficient can be shot with a budget of 3 million dollars? But you can still look. Trailer attached.

Astral

In the film "Astral" (2010), the plot develops around strange events in the house in which he moveslive family of Josh and Rene. But the case does not end with one poltergeist. Their child suddenly falls into an inexplicable coma, from which even experienced medical specialists could not bring him out. The father has a suspicion that the child's soul was somehow transferred to a ghostly parallel world, the habitat of spirits and other supernatural entities, to which he is going to go. Whether his “rescue operation” succeeded, we will find out by watching the film. In the meantime, check out the trailer.

Subsequently, Astral turned into an entire franchise, as three sequel films have already been shot for 2018.

Frozen

The story about the guys who had to spend the night on a disabled winter cable car on a frosty night, circled the world with triumph. What teenage snowboarding enthusiasts have not had a chance to experience: from severe frost to a pack of wild hungry wolves. And not everyone managed to "spend the night" safely. We watch the trailer and are afraid.
