Sphere from Micheal Crichton. Both the movie and the book are pretty good.
It is more sci-fi than anything else, but i think it fits the thriller category as well. Without going into spoilers, it is a story about scientists being deep down in the ocean, and strange things happening.
Sphere was my favorite book in high school. I didn't like the movie so much, but it might have been that I was already too hyped for it when it came out. I should probably watch it again.
I was so hyped, a book I loved and that cast. The result was so underwhelming.
The two things I remember about the book and the film is the sphere making people hallucinate, and Hoffman's character saying 'People who really want to kill themselves don't take pills. They buy a gun."
