'Cuz This Is Thriller

Here is a&nbsp;list of the best psychological thrillers of all time, ranked by fans who may or may not be trying to mess with your head! Though a variety of definitions for the &quot;psychological thriller&quot; genre have been offered, there is no universally accepted set of guidelines. In general, good psychological thrillers integrate personal character elements into <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mystery-movies-and-films/reference " target="_blank">mystery</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-suspense-movies/reference " target="_blank">suspense films</a>, essentially toeing the line between a dramatic character study and the sort of plot structure you&#39;d expect from a detective movie. With that in mind, what do you think are the best psychological thriller movies Hollywood has to offer? Could some even be considered the best thriller movies ever?

Many of the top psychological thrillers resemble traditional thrillers or suspense films, only with a personal, internal antagonist rather than a traditional <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">movie villain</a>. (For example, Repulsion or The Conversation, in which the plot is moved forward by the main character&#39;s growing paranoia and madness.) In many thrilling films of this type, the solution to the main character&#39;s conflict comes in the form of altering their perspective or discovering some buried truth about themselves and their past, rather than winning a fight or battling an opponent.

Many psychological thrillers play around with the main character&#39;s back story, or make use of an unreliable narrator. Films like Christopher Nolan&#39;s Memento present the audience with one perspective on the story, and then generate suspense by showing the ways in which &quot;reality&quot; contrasts to this perspective. (This sometimes, but not always, results in a &quot;twist&quot; or surprise ending based on the difference between the main character&#39;s perception and that of outside observers). Several Alfred Hitchcock movies&nbsp;utilize this technique, particularly movies like Spellbound and Marnie, in which the story concerns a character becoming mentally well after years of madness and confusion. Several of these films are critically acclaimed psychological thrillers.

This list contains the best thriller movies of all time. It is open and vote ranked, so be sure to vote for your favorites and add any other movies that may be missing at the bottom of the page.

A lot of factors go into making a horror movie truly scary, but don&#39;t discredit how visuals and sound play into the narrative. The general precedent for&nbsp;horror is to use low light, shadows, and eerie or grotesque images. Look at classics such as&nbsp;Friday the 13th,&nbsp;Halloween,&nbsp;and Nightmare on Elm Street&nbsp;as examples of films&nbsp;you expect to be terrifying just based on visual effects alone. Some of the most creatively frightening films, however,&nbsp;use neon or pastel colors, sunshine, and intricate patterns to distract you from the atrocities being showcased.&nbsp;

Some examples of horror movies that don&#39;t look like horror movies include 2019&#39;s Midsommar, 2009&#39;s Greek masterpiece Dogtooth,&nbsp;and the infamous Stephen King adaptation&nbsp;The Shining. Though they are stunning to look at, the bone chilling stories these films&nbsp;tell will haunt you for years to come.&nbsp;
