10 Best Social Thriller Films of All Time According to MovieWeb

"Social thrillers have seen a surge in on-screen and streaming platforms. The popularity can be credited to the current times as social justice becomes more performative and the big screen experience craves an adrenalin rush. The genre involves a plot that combines the elements of suspense and horror with a commentary on social issues running as the backdrop of the film. These films explore themes of class, gender, and race, with characters directly or passively confronting issues because of their identity. The films provide a critique and are not simply bait or propaganda. The success of Jordan Peele's Get Out and Us proved the genre could be a favorite of the audience and the critics. However, the genre has always been a Hollywood favorite. Here are 10 films that explore social issues as much as they take an audience on a roller coaster ride." - movieweb.com
