Psychological thriller

[Melanicus 5,208]

For everyone who loves this film genre, which in my opinion is the most interesting to watch and it leaves you thinking after you watch movie!

Memento, The Game, Shutter Island, Inception, Machinist, Fight Club....

Which is your favorite one?

Let's discuss their endings...

[Santiago. 1,500]

Memento still reigns supreme for me. Screenplay is still the best I've ever witnessed

[Funkyflashman 187]

Fight Club is one of my favourite films of all time.

Silence of the Lambs, Se7en and American Psycho are up there too!

[Hutcho 8,443]

Inception, though i haven't really watched many tbh. So i don't have much to compare it to.

[Kinol 337]

I love these kind of movies with their twisted endings. I have seen almost all the famous movies of that kind and im still looking for more Oldboy is a korean film i would recommend which i think is a psychological thriller.

[Danelka 209]

I'm not sure if The Prestige qualifies as a psychological thriller, but that's definietly my favourite alongside Memento.

[Rambo 1,729]

Inception for me, hands down. Original, thought provoking, with great casting and one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a while.

[Backstreet09 499]

Inception

The Omen

Silence of the Lambs

Don't Look Now

The Manchurian Candidate

I Confess

Rosemary's Baby

Memento

The Usual's Suspects

Rear Window

Vertigo

P.S There's plenty more

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Spider is a good mention, only one i have seen fully though but was really good!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Inception was amazing, it really was. Shutter Island was also quite incredible - just love Leonardo Dicaprio as an actor tbh.

[Santiago. 1,500]

He plays the same damn guy in every movie, aside his Bronx accent

[DJames 729]

For those who liked Psycho A&E has a new series Bates Motel that depicts the adolescent life of Norman Bates. It's totally awesome!!!

[Rmpr 8,977]

Shutter Island is a joke o a film, worst of all is people praising it...

Watch Muholland Drive!

[Korea 734]

Oldboy is probably Korea's most recognized international film (besides My Sassy Girl)...

You can watch the whole movie on netflix or even youtube has it in hd clips....

Has no relevance towards the film in terms of chronological refrences. This will go down in my can along with Psycho 2 and 3.

Psycho is a masterpiece and to create a televised show which has barley any relation is degrading

[Spike 12,049]

@, Oldboy is fecking awesome. Easily one of my favourites.

[DDA 9,429]

Yea Oldboy is a good film no doubt.

The Beach with Di Cappers is a good film with a psychological edge to it.

Can't think of my favourite as there are soo many.

I personally love foreign films, I get really caught up in them!

Degrading probably not. Not an accurate depiction probably. Once it does not go completely off script like smallville did I personally don't see a problem with exploring his teenage years. Now that was degrading! So far I think they are doing a good job depicting the development of his psychosis.

I watched Memento very recently and I didn't have a clue what was going on. I was a bit tired to be fair as it was late at night but still I was sat there extremely confused

I tried Bates Motel for about an episode and one half, but the whole thing is just too far removed from Bloch's story, Hitchcock's movie, and Hitchcock's era to hold much interest for me. I'm sure it is much more involving for the younger viewer. The whole issue of the town where the Bateses have settled having a human trafficking ring and a huge drug culture just doesn't much track with what "Psycho" was about.

One thing that has driven me a bit nuts about the show is reviews I read which often have this sentence:

"...of course, we all know the fates ahead for Norman and Mrs. Bates."

Well, from Bloch's novel and Hitchcock's movie, we do...but this is a TV SERIES. Exactly how many episodes (seasons?) are we supposed to wait for the events that launch "Psycho" to occur:

SPOILER!!!!!!!!

Norman kills mother and her boyfriend. Norman steals mother's corpse, guts it, stuffs it, sets it up in Mother's room. Norman starts to become his Mother and dresses up like her from time to time. Norman kills a woman in a shower and the detective who comes to find her. Double personality disorder

These events are the INTERESTING PART of "Psycho" and "Bates Motel" basically says: "Well, all that good stuff can't possibly come until near the end of this series."
