The 10 Excellent PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS To Watch
1. Terminal (2018)
A psychological thriller – film noir taking place in a train terminal at night. Add 2 male assassins, female assassin, waitress, teacher, janitor and crime boss. Add revenge. Who says mystery is a lost art?
Visually stunning. Not much plot line to it but that is not always a necessity in film. Great movie for capturing your attention for an hour and a half with colors the will captivate. Has a great golden age of Hollywood mixed with a futuristic feeling. Great for anyone who loves plots like “And Then There Where None?” or who appreciate movies for the visual.
2. La cara oculta (2012)
Shattered by the unexpected news of their irreversible break-up, an aspiring orchestra conductor is puzzled by his girlfriend’s mysterious and seemingly inexplicable case of disappearance. But, can he look beyond the facts?
It tricks you, at the beginning you just think you started to watch a cruel and tasteless movie about a ghost. But then, it turns into a very interesting story.
3. Ghost Stories (2017)
Skeptical professor Phillip Goodman embarks on a trip to the terrifying after being given a file with details of three unexplained cases of apparitions.
Purely English psychological thriller cinema, atmospheric, in the best traditions of horror stories, beautiful, local landscapes are fascinating, in places flavored with humor and though not innovative, but damn interesting. It is impossible not to mention the actors, not to carp, Martin Freeman liked the most.
4. The Girl On The Train (2016)
A divorcee becomes entangled in a missing persons investigation that promises to send shockwaves throughout her life.
Proof that you should basically never watch a psychological thriller movie based on a Rotten Tomatoes score; The Girl on the Train is a fantastically constructed thriller with enough suspense to keep you guessing throughout.
5. 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.
10 Cloverfield Lane was an amazing psychological thriller continuing the film before. I did not expect the reviews when they came in. I knew it had to be good reviews, but they were better than good. I had no problems with it really except it didn’t….I’m not going to spoil it. John, Mary, and John G. did very well. I hope to see more Cloverfield movies soon.
6. The Orphanage (2007)
A woman brings her family back to her childhood home, which used to be an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend.
One of the best thrillers I’ve seen, good plot, and good acting. Their was even a scene where they bring a medium to the house which I always think is soo corny in other movies, but they did a good job of keeping you interested and guessing!
7. Stonehearst Asylum (2014)
An Oxford graduate takes up a job in a mental asylum, only to discover that the “revolutionary” new treatments are inhumane, and that there is more going on than meets the eye.
A very suspenseful and interesting psychological thriller movie. Loaded with above average actors, the performances were great. The plot is full of tension and intrigue. Has a nice ending.
8. The Handmaiden (Ah-ga-ssi) (2016)
9. Get Out (2017)
A young African-American visits his white girlfriend’s parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.
I loved this psychological thriller movie the first time I watched it before I even understood or recognized the deeper meaning and symbolism behind it. It was just a wonderfully entertaining and well-written horror film! Then once I learned what all of it represented and rewatched it, it went from great to brilliant in my mind.
10. Marrowbone (2018)
