In the past 25 years or so, some of the most gripping, intense mystery thrillers have graced the big screen. Some that instantly leap to my mind are Christopher Nolan’s Memento, Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River, Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners, and David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. However, since it tells a story based on true crimes that shook America to its core and have remained unsolved for over 50 years, David Fincher’s chilling 2007 thriller takes the crown.
