While these pictures are defined by their agonizing and meticulous pacing, many of them still conjure up thrills aplenty to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
9 'The Lighthouse' Directed by Robert Eggers An intriguing film that uses its simple premise of isolation, masculinity, and a simmering rivalry to psychological perfection, The Lighthouse blends its engrossing and refined narrative with a surreal, arthouse angst as reality, fantasy, and mythology blur together in an invigorating manner. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star as two lighthouse keepers marooned on their remote island after intense storms ravage the area.
7 'Black Swan' Directed by Darren Aronofsky Darren Aronofsky’s tense and cerebral thriller deals with obsession and artistic pursuits in a manner that is nothing short of heart-racing and magnetic.

However, competition for the role in the form of academy newcomer Lily sees Nina’s life spiral out of control.
