The best thrillers on Amazon Prime Video right now

Miramax Films, Paramount Pictures

The thriller genre is consistently entertaining, and Amazon Prime Video has some of the most compelling movies in this department. Prime Video’s library is sure to cater to fans of the genre, boasting all-time classics and contemporary hits alike. The addition of last month’s Academy Award-winning Oppenheimer will likely keep the spotlight, but July includes highly acclaimed older titles like No Country for Old Men and Taxi Driver.

Audiences can be overwhelmed by choice, so this monthly-updated guide focuses on the best thriller movies on Prime Video.

Amazon Prime may have a robust catalog, but it doesn’t have everything. Luckily, we’ve also curated roundups of the best thrillers on Netflix and the best thrillers on Hulu.

Nothing says “a fine time with the family” like an evil entity haunting your country home because you’re covering up the death of your mother. These are the narrative cards we’re dealt in director Sergio G. Sánchez’s 2017 film Marrowbone. The film stars George MacKay, Furiosa‘s Anya-Taylor Joy, Charlie Heaton, and Mia Goth as the four siblings in on the matriarchal disappearance. When a lawyer (played by Kyle Soller) threatens to pull back the veil on the sibling secret, it’s up to eldest brother, Jack (MacKay), to keep everyone together, while contending with the ghouls of the mansion. A tactfully atmospheric production, there’s a twist you might see coming a mile away, but the overarching slow burn of Marrowbone is too good to pass up.
