The best thrillers on Hulu right now

20th Century Fox
There’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch with popcorn and an exciting thriller. Hulu has a wide selection of options in this genre, from new movies to old classics. They range from intense, action-packed movies to creepy horror thrillers that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.
If you’re in the mood for a thriller, these are the best thrillers on Hulu right now. Have a movie marathon night with Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, delivering four hours of an action-packed, martial arts spectacle, or remind yourself of how Liam Neeson tells enemies that he will “look for you, find you, and kill you” in Taken.
