There is nothing more enjoyable than sitting back and watching a mystery at night while snacking on your favorite snacks. This genre is often mixed with thrillers to build suspense like no other. If you like to stay on the edge of your seat and question everything you see on the screen, it's worth checking out what Prime Video has to offer.

As one of the best streaming services, you'll find plenty of diverse films, from horror comedies to action-packed disaster movies. But it's even better when you find one with a high Rotten Tomatoes score. Of course, a high score doesn't necessarily mean you'll like the movie, but it's a solid indication of whether it's worth your time.

Fortunately, we've compiled a list of at least 95% of the mystery and thriller movies on Rotten Tomatoes. They include the comedic mystery Knives Out and the horror thriller Silence of the Lambs. Let's get right to it.

"Nightcrawler," off to a strong start, follows Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), a man who records dangerous crimes and then provides the footage to a local TV station for a fee. Determined to get the best shot for higher recognition, Louis uses unethical filming methods such as tampering with crime scenes and trespassing on private property. Gyllenhaal plays both con man and sociopath with aplomb, and his performance makes this thriller impossible to take your eyes off of for even a moment.

The assignment is to learn more about "Buffalo Bill," another serial killer who has been abducting women, and Lecter provides clues and may help Sterling track down the psychopath. Of course, getting help from a serial killer would not be so easy.
