Must See Psychological Thrillers

The best Korean film ever made, in my opinion. Simply a masterpiece. Although not for the faint of heart or easily disturbed.

This movie was the movie that got me hooked on Psychological Thrillers. The combination of these two brilliant actors, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, in this mind-boggling film is simply brilliant.

Often considered one of the best movies of all time. Everyone should see this at least once.

Wasn't sure what to expect for this movie, although after watching it, I was blown away. Starts off quite slow, but the build up is worth the wait.

Probably the first Psychological Thriller I ever watched, was too young to watch most of the others at the time, and didn't even know what Psychological Thrillers were. I loved it at the time, and still do to this day.

Although some people consider this movie a Horror or Psychological Horror, I have no doubt in my mind that this is an amazing Psychological Thriller. Anyone who watched this movie for what it really is, should be able to tell this movie was not designed to scare the audience, it was clearly made to mess with your head, and that's exactly what it did! This movie is a must watch for everyone, simply genius plot and storyline.

Micky Rourke at his finest, a great watch, and definitely not to be forgotten.

This is one of those movies where either you love it, or you hate it. Personally I loved it, and it really messes with your head. Michael Douglas at his best.

Arguably the best drug-related movie of all time. Aronofsky's unique directing style captures you quickly, and you really feel the characters pain and struggle of their addictions.

Often when first looked at by people who are not familiar with Aronofsky, people assume this is a girly drama-ballet movie. That is definitely not the case! Natalie Portmans performance in this was simply brilliant. Definitely one of the top movies of 2010.

My last Aronofsky film for this list. Truly brings out Aronofskys unique directing style, and shows what an amazing movie a director can make with such a low budget.

The best Psychological Thriller Nolan made in my opinion, and one of the most genius movie plots ever, without a doubt. A definite favourite for all of the die-hard mystery fans.

Confusing, Dark and Ominous, everything you want in a good Psychological Thriller. You never know what is real in this movie, and that's one of the best bits about it.

DiCaprio doesn't always come off as the kind of guy you would usually expect to see starring in a Psychological Thriller, but he definitely proves he can in this movie. This is definitely one of those movies you want to rewatch, it still astounds me how Scorcese can fit such a complicated story into 2 hours of film.

Robin Williams and Al Pacino, really the last guys you expect to see starring in a Psychological Thriller, and they amazed me in this movie. Definitely not one of the best Psychological Thrillers, but still a good movie worth a watch.

Ben Affleck really proved he can direct a great movie with this one. A must watch with an ending unlike any other Psychological Thrillers.

One of my favourite serial killer movies. You really do get sucked right into the mystery theme of this movie, and want to know who the serial killer really is.

A great captivating movie with quite a few shocking scenes you weren't expecting. Kutcher shows that he isn't just some cheesy guy who can only play the funny guy or the stoner.

My all time favourite Gyllenhaal movie, very trippy and confusing. This is a rewatcher for sure, and definitely not one to be missed out on.

A great riveting story that will not displease. Christian Bale pulls off another great performance, and really sucks you into the demented, and psycho lifestyle of Patrick Bateman.

Another amazing serial killer Psychological Thriller, with a great plot that is unlike any other serial killer movies you will see.

I picked the US version over the original, because English is my first language. And although I don't mind subtitles and enjoy lots of foreign films, in the end it's easier to enjoy a movie without subtitles. Besides that, this is an amazing movie. Michael Haneke truly knows how to control his audiences mind through ought this movie.

A classic story of two magicians in a battle of the wits, each played by a brilliant actor. Christopher Nolan never seems to displease with his movies, a must watch.

A very suspenseful move to say the least, with great performances from the leading actors. I've always loved moves with very simple plots that only take place in one room or house, it really puts and emphasis on what is happening with the characters. It could have been done a lot better in my opinion, the ending was a bit of a let down, but nonetheless a good film.

A German movie based off the real Stanford prison experiments that doesn't disappoint. I'd say this was almost as good as the Netflix adaption of the Stanford prison experiments. It was suspenseful the whole way through, and I really enjoyed the ending. This one is a must watch for anyone who enjoys prison thrillers.

One of the best Psychological Thrillers of recent times, Fincher never ceases to amaze. This crazy story will take you on twists and turns you never saw coming.

A movie that seems to be lighthearted at the beginning takes on a ominous vibe that leads to a crazy ending you would never see coming.
