20 Movies That Had People on the Edges of Their Seats From Jump

‘‘Arlington Road’ blew my mind and the minds of everyone I recommended it to’

They say it takes all kinds, and they weren’t just talking about the number of different cheeses you threw into a pot and called dinner last night. When it comes to movies, some people want to laugh, others want to cry and a few weirdos want to think about human centipedes. Some, however… some just want to watch their knuckles burn.

“I’m a bit rough when choosing movies, I can go in circles for hours trying to choose one,” Redditor AxilaryI admitted to r/MovieSuggestions. “I need a movie that can keep me on the edge of my seat and hold me there throughout the whole movie … For reference, The Strangers (2008) (and) Taken (2008) (are the) complete edge-of-the-seat, nail-biter, sweaty-palms movie(s) of my choice.”

They then asked, “What is absolutely the best suspense/thriller movie you’ve seen in your lifetime?”
