There are a few good options in St. Louis theaters then. Underwater is the story of a underwater drilling station that is breached. 1917 is a historical drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you want a really good thriller/drama though I would recommend The Turning, a story about a young governess hired to care for children after their parents die.
