Collider has published a listicle highlighting ten thrillers that critics argue deserve much wider recognition, despite being overshadowed by more famous genre entries such as Se7en, Fight Club and Inception. The piece argues these films failed to gain lasting attention not because of their quality, but due to poor scheduling against bigger releases, a lack of star power, or weak studio marketing.

Among the titles discussed are Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, a dramatisation of Philippe Petit's illegal 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers, praised for its tense, realistic final act; Speak No Evil, the original Danish film about a couple whose hosts subject them to escalating discomfort culminating in a bleak ending, which the article says surpasses its later Hollywood remake starring James McAvoy; and an unnamed high-concept sci-fi thriller in which a comet-lit dinner party spirals into a multiverse scenario, shot without a conventional script, comparable in tone to Inception, Dark and Predestination.
