MovieWeb's 20+ Thrillers With Perfect Endings
"There are quite a few things that make a good to great thriller, but what almost always sticks to the viewer is how it ends, because let's be honest, a lot of them don't end on a happy note, and they don't necessarily have to. But they do have to end well, with a closing that fits the story, characters, and themes, even if it may not be positive. It can be said that any movie should have a good ending of course, but it's quite important for thrillers because everything about them builds to the climax; the tension; the ending; the atmosphere, and the sometimes twisty plot, not just the premise or story. It's like being teased for close to two hours and then smacked in the face. And there are only so many thrillers that have genuinely great, and even rarer, perfect endings. So let us go through a list of some great thrillers and films that have the thriller element even if they share in another genre, that quite simply could not have ended better or more fittingly!" - movieweb.com
