10 Thrillers You Need To Watch In 2017

10. Mother!

Penned and directed by Academy Award nominee Darren Aronofsky, Mother! sounds like a veritable hit in the making, despite details about the project being scarce at this point in time. This home invasion thriller boasts a stellar cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Domhnall Gleeson, and Ed Harris, as well as music from Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, who scored The Theory of Everything and Sicario.

Aronofsky’s last film as director was the big-budget biblical epic and Russell Crowe vehicle Noah (2014), but he is more fondly remembered as the helmsman behind Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler. If Mother! can recapture even a fraction of the tension and unease generated in Aronofsky’s 2010 psychological horror Black Swan, then it could become one of the year’s most exciting prospects.

Mother! hits cinemas on October 13th, 2017.
