Thriller Challenge 2026

Welcome to my third thriller challenge. 

In my time on Letterboxd I’ve enjoyed participating in the various annual challenges. While there are many genre specific challenges, there weren’t any that focused on thrillers (my favourite genre), so in 2024 I created my first Thriller Challenge as an experiment. This was inspired by the x52 challenge created by kynky and the various other genre challenges.

The goal is simple, watch 52 thriller films between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2026.

If you want to participate create your own list using the below prompts and share your list by providing a link in the comments section. Even though the challenge starts on 1 January 2026, you can join at anytime.
