Mystery films are among my favorite genres.
Still, there are plenty of lesser-known gems that never got the recognition they deserved.
So, Im sharing five underrated mystery films you may have missed.
They have only one suspect: Fran’s new husband, John Smith (Adam Arkin).
Unfortunately, John is clever and has managed to evade authorities.
All the while, he’s meeting more women and they’re going missing.
Arkin is phenomenally creepy as the killer, John Smith.
So, be prepared to do some internet sleuthing when the movie is over.

‘Arbitrage’
“Arbitrage” is an underrated mystery thriller starring Richard Gere.
Things go terribly wrong one night when a fateful car accident results in the death of his mistress.
Now, he’s covering up more than an affair.
The movie starts with eight friends coming together on the night of Miller’s Comet passing by.
Once the comet passes, everything seems to go wrong.
The power suddenly goes out.
The multi-universe plotline emerges here, and things can get complicated.
Yet, instead of calling the police, she invites him inside.
Robert is a bit uncouth and strange, but he meets his match with Stiles' Jenny.
This mystery thriller is more than just turning the table on a creepy voyeur guy.
It’s not even a film about revenge.
It’s about not judging what we see on the outside of someone’s life.
If you keep that in mind, you’ll truly appreciate the film’s message.
However, I can’t help but like it anyway.
The movie focuses on 10 friends staying at a mountain cabin for a reunion.
When they arrive, something is wrong.
No one is at the cabin, but it looks like people were just there.
Coffee cups are warm, breakfast plates are partially eaten and personal items are lying around.
