Best psychological thrillers?
Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

I recently watched 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' and I thought it was average, quite overrated, I read the books before I watched so I don't know if that effected my viewing at all but I think you should watch it anyway. -
Re: Best psychological thrillers?I mentioned The Prestige a few posts ago, but any love for it is good in my books. Completely forgot about Source Code, though, that was a great film.(Original post by _donnie_darko_)

Re: Best psychological thrillers?Oh sorry I must've missed it but yeah I love the prestige. Yes, I agree it was very underrated.(Original post by Cerdog)

Re: Best psychological thrillers?I agree with this and I didn't read the books before. It was very slow to start. Once it got going it was good, but not as fantastic as I was led to believe by the hype(Original post by _donnie_darko_)

I watched the film 'Sound of my Voice' last night which is a low budget indie film (however, for me these always seem to be the most thought provoking as most commercial hollywood blockbusters tend to spoon feed you the storyline and leave nothing to the imagination). The fact that I've signed up for this site simply to recommend it kind of tells you how good I think it is. Definitelty worth a watch. It starts off a little strange but the end left me speechless, coming up with countless theories on what I believe happened.

The film 'Misery' is good. It's based on the book by Stephen King and is about an author who after being in a car crash, is taken in and nursed by his "Number One Fan" (Kathy Bates). I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read the book or seen the film, but it's so good and really suspenseful!
