The start of a new decade is upon us, and judging by the amount of thriller movies coming out in 2020, the next 10 years are going to be adrenaline-packed. As is typically the case with thrillers, the bulk of these movies can also be grouped into other genres. Among the upcoming releases are some horror thrillers, action thrillers, mystery thrillers, crime thrillers, psychological thrillers — you name it. But above all else, these films aim to thrill.
These 13 thrillers hitting theaters in 2020 are also loaded with big stars. Blake Lively dons short black hair and a British accent in the revenge thriller The Rhythm Section, Russell Crowe is a terrifying road rage perpetrator in Unhinged, Amy Adams is an agoraphobe who witnesses a crime at her neighbor's house in The Woman in the Window, and Michael B. Jordan is a Navy SEAL out to avenge his wife's murder in Without Remorse. Plus, there's the latest mind-bender from Christopher Nolan, a horror thriller from some of the producers of Get Out and Us, a slick remake of the classic The Invisible Man, and more. So try and relax your mind before taking a look below at the complete list, because things are about to get tense.
