Mystery Movies

A crime, a scene to read carefully, a group of suspects who are all lying a little. Mystery is the genre where the viewer becomes the detective and tries to work out, before the end, who did what and above all why. It is an old pleasure, picked up by cinema from literature and turned into shadows, corridors and evasive glances.

In this category you'll find classic investigations and subtler mysteries, stories where a detective works by logic and stories where the truth hides inside the people. There are great authors of the past alongside independent productions that reinvent the genre with few means and plenty of imagination, with riddles to unravel and endings that turn everything upside down.

These are films for those who love following the clues, suspecting everyone and staying in doubt until the last scene. Put your phone down, settle in and try to beat the detective.
