From compelling mysteries like Zodiac to mind-bending psychological thrillers like Gone Girl, these edge-of-your-seat movies have a way of getting under your skin.

So, if you're prepared to dive into another scary flick, I've compiled a list of the best thriller movies to watch on streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more.

1. Promising Young Woman (2020)

• Director: Emerald Fennell
• Cast: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Clancy Brown 
• Run time: 113 minutes 
• Rating: R
• Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes 90% | IMDb 7.5/10

Mulligan stars as Cassie, a former medical student who seeks vengeance on the people who sexually assaulted her best friend. Not only is there suspense, but the movie also tackles themes like rape culture, toxic masculinity and trauma.

In his rave review, Philip Mutz, VP of News and Entertainment at PureWow, called it one of the "best movies of 2020" He wrote, "It is Cassie's devotion to changing the system one man (and in several cases, woman) at a time that lays bare just how helpless and unprotected our flawed system has left rape victims. The subject matter is truly what makes this film a must-watch."

2. Panic Room (2002) 

• Director: David Fincher
• Cast: Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam 
• Run time: 112 minutes 
• Rating: R
• Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes 76% | IMDb 6.8/10

From the director of Fight Club comes this intense, edge-of-your-seat flick where a mother and her daughter are trapped in their panic room after criminals break into their new home. You'll be watching with bated breath as the three intruders go above and beyond to smoke them out. At the time of its release, critics praised Jodie Foster's performance, but criticized the true suspense of the movie, with the New York Times writing, "Panic Room was skillfully constructed, no doubt at considerable expense, but it's hard to shake the feeling that nobody's really home." In the years since, however, the film has gone on to be considered an early 2000s cult classic."

Dana Dickey, PureWow's Senior Editor, adds: "Can I just say David Fincher's Panic Room is a WILD RIDE? Besides brimming with the director's signature creepy allure, the story is real estate porn of the highest order (hello row house period details) and also a talent bonanza including not only Forest Whitaker and Jodie Foster but also an early role from future Academy Award winner Jared Leto and the major film debut of 12-year-old Kristen Stewart."

3. Bacurau (2019)

Based on Darcey Bell's 2017 novel, the movie follows two women—Emily and Stephanie—who become good friends, despite being polar opposites. But when Emily mysteriously goes missing, Stephanie starts to investigate and discovers some terrifying secrets along the way. "A Simple Favor is so nuts, not only does it have one of the freakiest plot twists ever but also it really holds your interest with a palpable undercurrent of attraction between two friends Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. I love this movie as an object lesson in perception versus reality...and since a sequel is in the works set in Capri (swoon), this is a great entree to the characters," Dickey notes.

5. The Son (2019)

Memento was also a critical and commercial success, earning $40 million at the box office on a $9 million budget, and receiving Academy Award nominations for "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Film Editing."

"Memento is soooo good! It's Academy Award-winning director's breakthrough film, a formally audacious detective story in which the Guy Pearce is a completely original character—a detective trying to solve the mystery of his wife's murder, but who can't retain memories so has to piece his and her history together from Polaroids and clues he's written on his body. Just...go with it, and you'll be glad you did. Pearce is getting a lot of buzz from his role in The Brutalist, and he's equally charismatic back in this 2000 film," adds Dickey.

22. Psycho (1960) 

• Director: Alfred Hitchcock
• Cast: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles 
• Run time: 109 minutes 
• Rating: R
• Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes 97% | IMDb 8.5/10

The Alfred Hitchcock classic follows a young secretary whose stay at a remote hotel becomes a nightmare. According to Calfee, the movie still holds up even though it was released over six decades ago. He wrote, "Just like how chiaroscuro was used to show dramatic effects in studio art, the stark contrast in the lighting of the film makes the setting even more eerie. It works perfectly in moments like the shower scene."

In her review of the film, Associate Editor of News and Entertainment Nakeisha Campbell writes, "The Netflix drama successfully turns the common "TV/movie mom"  stereotype on its head, but it also boasts plenty of action scenes to keep fans invested, from brutal fights to high-speed motorbike chases. Joseph Fiennes makes a terrifying villain and Omari Hardwick shines as a trusted ally. But truly, it's J.Lo who remains the star from beginning to end.

When his pregnant wife gets murdered by Russian hitmen, U.S. Navy SEAL John Clark is out for revenge. Jordan delivers a powerful performance as the grieving action hero. And if you're a fan of sleek spy thrillers with charismatic leads (or if you're an avid reader of Tom Clancy's novels), this one's a must-watch. "From the beginning, I had a nagging suspicion that turned out to be true, so that big "twist" towards the end didn't really have the desired effect," Campbell wrote in her review, adding, "However, I did enjoy the few moments of suspense and the chemistry between the main characters. Would I say it's worth the watch? Well, take it from someone who is clueless about the books—Jordan will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish."
