Tickle your nerves. Extreme activities in the big city: how to tickle your nerves

Thrillers tend to excite audiences even more than standard horror films. And why all? They not only play on our natural sense of fear, but also 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 score in search bar the phrase “best films, list”, thrillers will not occupy even 10% of this list. For an unprepared viewer, films such as “Suicide Hall” or “Chat” will not only remain incomprehensible, but in general can cause disgust towards the country that produced such films. They usually leave a rather unpleasant aftertaste, which can only be overcome by a good one. Although most moviegoers are not deterred by such consequences, so the “thriller” genre can still be safely called one of the most preferred. Every fan of this genre there is a personal list. It is useless to challenge it, because how many people there are, so many preferences. We will try to describe some of the most famous and will definitely mention the paintings that are loved by a narrow circle of viewers.

Subjectivism and film mania

One of the absolute favorites is the film “No Feelings” (2007) with Jason Behr in leading role. This is a film adaptation of a not very popular novel of the same name, which can evoke such a palette of emotions that it will take several days to rehabilitate. The impression lingers for a long time thanks to not only the good work of the screenwriters, but also the amazing acting. This picture definitely deserves the right to open the list best thrillers.

Also very powerful is the film with the disgusting title “Dead Man,” which clearly shows the level of morality of modern youth. In this genre it is difficult to find a film with an even more striking anti-social theme, however, it is played out there in a very unique way.

The recent “Ashes” with a cutie in the title role, a thriller with a large admixture of drama, “keeps” under the impression for several days after viewing, because its ending plunges the viewer into deep shock.

The above-mentioned film “Chat” is quite strange and unpredictable, but this makes it even more interesting. IN this list he hit the best thrillers pure chance, but stayed there, apparently, for a long time.

The film “The Pit” boasts the most unusual plot from the entire list. Good cast, interesting scenario and a strong atmosphere bring it 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 Great Britain. It becomes a little scary for the people: what are they constantly thinking about on their islands if they are making such a movie?! Maybe they are imagining something in the fog, or maybe the rain won’t wash away the melancholy?

In a word, Great Britain - a real master thrillers, but, of course, everyone has mistakes. The list of the best thrillers should definitely include “Trance” (2013), which will seem too sophisticated to an inexperienced viewer. In an effort to express an interesting idea, the director went overboard with the plot and slightly “smeared” the characters. And in general, remembering the best thrillers of 2013, the list will open and immediately close with the film “Prisoners” - the trend, as always, is depressing.

Often reading a thriller or detective story is scarier than watching its film adaptation - the imagination draws pictures that no director can stage. That is why, despite the rivers of blood and guts “scattered” across the big screens, we are again looking for entertaining, action-packed reading to while away the long winter evening.

Sometimes you can’t tear yourself away from such books, because you quickly want to find out who was that cunning maniac lying in wait for the unsuspecting heroine! Here are 10 books for those who want to tickle their nerves; they have everything: a shocking plot, an unpredictable ending, a cleverly disguised killer and a light style.

Dexter's dormant demon bursts forth

You've probably heard about the TV series "Dexter" (or maybe watched it). Now forget almost everything that happened on TV! After all, Jeffrey Lindsay's books only became an inspiration for the show's authors. And although both the novels and the series feature the same blood spatter specialist Dexter Morgan from Miami Vice, his sister, who dreams of becoming a homicide detective, and their colleagues, the plots of the original and the script are different. Therefore, we highly recommend finding Lindsay’s book series, which begins with the novel “Dexter’s Slumbering Demon.” Already from the first pages you will be captivated by a bloody round dance organized by a maniacal avenger (he tracks down and eliminates only inveterate killers who have not been reached by the hand of the law). But Dexter’s deeds are not the main thing; in every book he has his own equally inventive antagonist who will threaten not only him, but also the expert’s entourage.

Home gothic: tomorrow you will become its heroine

The English poet and prose writer Sophie Hannah was given unique opportunity continue the work of Agatha Christie - write new novels about Hercule Poirot. Frankly speaking, our impressions of Hannah’s attempt to “become Christy” are not the strongest. Much more interesting are the writer’s “own” thrillers, in which crimes are investigated by Simon Waterhouse and Charlie Seiler. Each of their cases is a web of ominous coincidences, nightmarish circumstances in which the next “damsel in distress” finds herself; it is very difficult to understand where the truth is and where is just an ominous mirage. For example, Sally, a character in the novel Domestic Gothic, is indirectly involved in murder and suicide: a completely prosperous mother stabbed her little daughter to death in cold blood and then took her own life. So it seems at first glance. What if it’s a calculating maniac at work?

Snowman is the “trademark” of a maniac

Every novel by Norwegian Jo Nesbø from the series about detective Harry Hole is worthy of applause; we don’t even know what to recommend to you first. Whatever the plot, the solution to the chain of crimes will be incredible, and, of course, will really tickle your nerves. If you want to delve deeper into Harry's story, then proceed to the first novel in the series (Bat). But there is another option - first, read the seventh novel in the series - “The Snowman”, because soon big screen its adaptation will appear. Michael Fassbender reincarnated in Hall, and Rebecca Ferguson became his not entirely adequate, but very gifted assistant. Inspector Hole will unravel the “knots” of the disappearance married woman and discover that similar crimes have been happening for many years - with alarming frequency.

The surgeon acts precisely and subtly

And again - a series of books (it just so happens that the authors, having invented a charismatic hero, often cannot stop and plunge the characters into new nightmares). The misadventures (read investigations) of Boston detective Jane Rizzoli begin with the medical thriller The Surgeon, in which a serial killer carefully and tastefully disembowels his victims. We warn you right away: if you don’t like professional details and chilling descriptions of bloodless bodies, do not pick up this book. Its author, Tess Gerritsen, knows what she is writing about: she is a physician by training. It seems that she herself removes organs from the victims of “The Surgeon”! The second heroine of the books in this series is Maura Isles, to whom the dead end up, because she is a pathologist, her findings and conclusions greatly help the investigation.

Silence of the Lambs - an unattainable dream

Since we're talking about doctors, how can we not remember the former surgeon and now psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter! A series of books about this charismatic person, which cannot resist the flesh of its victims, was written by Thomas Harris and successfully filmed. But, believe me, reading “The Silence of the Lambs” is scarier than watching how sweetly the characters of Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins talk (even if the latter has a crazy sparkle in his eyes). They could not realistically reproduce on the screen what the maniac did to the girls and their skin (whose FBI is looking for - for this reason they “sent” Clarice Starling to Hannibal for advice). A maniac sees a maniac from afar, of course, the doctor will almost immediately understand who he is talking about we're talking about. However, he will ask for payment for his information.

Ten little Indians gathered to have lunch...

Harris is almost a classic of thrillers, it’s a pity that the creator of the cannibal Hannibal writes so slowly - it looks like we won’t get another book in the series. As for the traditions and “fashion” of detective literature, the most classic classic(sorry for the tautology) genre - these are, of course, books by Agatha Christie. No one can compare with her, and it’s not for nothing that she is the most translated author in the world. And the most creepy work of the detective queen is “Ten Little Indians.” After all, the heroes (except last victim) will never know who invited them to a secluded island in order to deal with them one by one in the most sophisticated ways. The maniac has a rule: he follows the lines of the old rhyme; no one will return from the Negro Island to the mainland.

Omen: The Antichrist is already among us

Nowadays it is quite common to release a film first, and if original script It turned out to be fascinating, and later you can publish a book “based on it.” So after the series “Twin Peaks” the shelves were filled with novels of the same name. Alas, they were much weaker than the series itself. In the case of “The Omen,” it happened the same way: first, a mystical horror film with a script by David Seltzer was released, which became a cult classic, and then Zeltser published a novel of the same name. And in this case, the “paper” “Omen”/“Omen” frightened and fascinated, perhaps even more than the film. The story about the Antichrist who came to our world and ended up in the family of a British diplomat, oh, how it tickles your nerves! Remember the scenes with the huge black dog! Or with the fanatical nanny: she has a cleaver sticking out of her head, and she continues to pursue. If you watch a movie, then, of course, choose the Donner film, and not its rather weak remake.

Deadly lullaby: don't say its words!

Chuck Palahniuk - for many, this name is strongly associated with “Fight Club” and the film adaptation of the book, which made both Fincher and Pitt famous. Palahniuk's prose is full of satire, sarcasm, irony of the consumer society, the darkest humor - take, for example, the confession of a girl who ended up “by mistake” in the Underworld (“The Damned”). But there are things in his books that make your hair stand on end. How do you feel about the death of a baby? Badly? We are of the same opinion. That's why reading Lullaby is very, very creepy. It turns out that there is such a song in the world that you should never use to lull newborns to sleep - they will die. From here it's scary big numbers so-called sudden infant death syndrome.

Sharp objects as a way to deal with mental pain

Everyone started talking about Gillian Flynn when her book Gone Girl was published (and especially when the novel was filmed by David Fincher). However, this work is the third in a row. And the very first novel that even Stephen King shuddered was Sharp Objects. And here, too, the matter concerns the most terrible crime - the massacre of an innocent, helpless child. The girl was found right on the city street - she was stuffed between houses, tortured to death, and there was not a single tooth in the poor woman’s mouth. Chicago reporter Camille accidentally becomes an amateur detective - after all, the crime happened in her provincial homeland. Even the most perverted mind cannot guess who is killing children and why. Camilla has her own secret, which she is not ready to share with others - her whole body is cut up. So the girl struggled with heartache– inflicting wounds on oneself (with any sharp objects).

It will come for your children

Stephen King himself is very merciless towards little heroes; he has written so many books in which children are bullied in the most brutal ways! Teenager Carrie is terrorized by her classmates, Danny is chased around the hotel by his distraught father, the owner of an unusual gift, Charlie, is pursued by special services, Gage is hit by a truck, and then the kid returns home as a monster. But the greatest “concentration of evil” operates in the very scary novel King's "It". After all, a clot of negative energy, some unearthly creature taking the form of a clown, is ready to deal with all the children of a small American town. A group of guys challenge Evil, but It only lies low to begin its dirty work decades later. In the fall of 2017, the novel will finally receive a film adaptation. In the meantime, do you want to tickle your nerves? Read "It"!
