like the obvious Se7en. Or Irreversible but maybe a little less hardcore than that one. What you got?
 
Silence of the Lambs is an all time great.

Nice list. Bone Tomahawk was really solid and also Black Death was very underrated imo. (Of course Sean Bean died though:(:()

I just watched The Prestige for the first time. Pretty nice twists and fairly dark.
 
Silence of the Lambs
Red Dragon
Henry: Portrait of a Killer
Alien
The Exorcist
The Omen
Bone Toma...

Never mind, I'm just repeating HereticBD's list.
 
Fracture is an excellent film that I rarely see mentioned. Not sure if it's considered thriller though. Sir Hopkins performance in it is about the best I've seen him.
 
Bubba Hotep.
Bruce Campbell plays Elvis fighting off a mummy that is terrorizing a nursing home by sucking their souls out of their assholes.
 
Frailty and Suspect Zero are really good films too

I've watch almost all the other recommended films but none of yours to my surprise because I love psychological films. Not sure if I can stream the latter film online, I'll definitely watch both.

Older films but good. You can probably find them on YouTube
*edit.. They are on YouTube
 
I thought the premise of that movie with john cusack staying in a haunted hotel room was cool. The film coulda been better though.

The shining is a great story.
