We’ve approached the cinema of suspense in this article, listing ten great films of the genre that you’ve probably never seen. The films cited cover the most diverse themes, such as the always delicious “road thrillers”, the decline to a man’s madness, a weekend in a deadly isolated hotel, and life in a family that isn’t exactly what they seem socially.

10ยบ – Night Terror (E.W. Swackhamer, 1977)
After a family emergency arises, an ordinary housewife decides to drive several miles alone at night to reach her family. However, after witnessing the murder of a policeman on a road, the woman will be pursued by a psychopath. Completely unknown, this pearl of the 1970s is that perfect film for those who like suspense road movies.
