In the last few years, Hollywood has been hit by a wave of high-concept mystery films, including Rian Johnson's Knives Out franchise and Kenneth Branagh's adaptations of Agatha Christie novels (Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, etc.) While those installments can be exciting and thrilling for audiences, they are straightforward mysteries; however, the genre often thrives when paired with the thriller. Whereas mystery films surround a specific problem or crime and find a solution, thrillers rely on evoking suspense and tension.
