Nostalgia has its own specific pull, these films either take you back or feel like they could have been part of your past. Thrillers with real tension, the kind that makes you hold your breath without realising it. All from the 2020s, proving that great cinema is still being made right now. The fact that these actually happened makes them hit completely differently.
