8 Psychological Thriller Movies to Melt your Brains

You enjoyed our last list of 7 Mindfuck movies. So, we came up with another list. Several of these movies almost made to our previous Top 7 list.

Although mindfuck genre isn't new in today's time it has been around from a lot earlier than it seems logical to be. Which, in fact, is a brain-tickler in itself.

It includes roughly psychological thrillers, horror, rotoscoped, time & space-bending cinematic experiences, we do hope you find some hidden gems never seen before.

8. Bad Taste (1987)

Directed by Peter Jackson

This Movie has an unbelievable love for gore Featuring a bunch of the unknowns at that time, Peter Jackson and his buddies back in the 80's. The movie takes a lot of the ideas including a ton of brain matter explosions, literally from Tom Savini - The legend of special effects who worked with the great George A. Romero on Night of the Living Dead. For some odd reason it leaves you "wanting" a Bad Taste 2.

Brace Yourself: for some weird-arse New Zealand Accent.

7. V/H/S (2012)

It's presented as a compilation of 5 found footage video tapes couple of which are the horror legacies of 'The Blair Witch Project'.

This anthology episodic movie is not consistent but it does have couple of parts worth your time to tingle some of that gray matter of yours.

Brace Yourself: Watch for a scary head-split-bat lady that would creep you the hell out. Dave found her Hot though.

6. Mother! (2017)

Another surreal story from the brains of Darren Aronofsky showing some really fucked-up allegory of Mother Earth and Adam's relation. Which would kind of give you a different perspective to look at the recent situations as how a virus has affected the adams and eves on this Mother Earth for a huge part of this year.

Starring acting powerhouses such as Javiér Bardem as Adam and Jennifer Lawrence as the title character & Michelle Pfeiffer.

Brace Yourself: It will make you feel the things that you didn't know you could & you wouldn't want to if you did.

5. Eraserhead (1977)

This Black & white classic movie, from the maestro of Science Fiction - David Lynch. was way ahead of its time. In a world of Superman and Star Wars People didn't know what to do with a movie like this in 1977. Now this tale of alien psychology set some new dimensions that movies from this genre have been going to for the last 40 years or so.

Brace Yourself: You know what, this is better left unspoiled for you to get terrified on your own.

4. Donnie Darko (2001)

Donnie Darko is a tale of the paradoxes of time travel, alternate universes, a subplot involving Antichrist and the Bunny Monster that makes you do bad things. The movie is an offshoot extension story of how the monster has travelled in our present from a tangent universe that is created when Jake kills the Bunny Monster. This involves a fuckload of manipulation with Time, Space, Characters and God knows what. It may come as a surprise but the above details are hardly spoiling things.

Brace Yourself: for watching it multiple times as the plot thickens every time differently.

3. Memento (2003)

Although, every Nolan movie is quite a pickle to understand, specially in a single watch. But this movie in particular tops Nolan's filmography. The editing alone will blow you freaking brains out. Why, yous ask? well for one, the movie is comprised of two kinds of clips colored and B/W shown alternatively. Colored are shown in reverse and B/W forward chronologically, including the first shot which is in reverse. Holy Stuff! I mean only the editing will kill your brain, let alone the mystery who killed who, reason behind the tattoos and is the Lenny guy any good? Or maybe the burenete chick is quite shady? There a ton of shit to figure out. Which you probably will, but it'll be too late by then.

Brace Yourself: You won't understand what hit you till you are over three quarters into the movie. But hey! It's okay. It's fine. That's the beauty of it.

2. Altered States (1980)

Courtesy of Warner Brothers

This movie will fuck you up, I kid you not. It's a goddamn acid trip on mushrooms. William Hurt featuring in a bizzare tale of experiment on the darkness which breaks the clutches of the known, in the basement of a scientist. Another 80's flick with amazing cinematography, trippy soundtrack and the mindfuck of a lifetime.

Brace Yourself: Do not watch when you're high. Or do, it may be even hitting you different places.

1. Under the Skin (2014)

Courtesy of British Film Institute

The only movie closest to What would have been Kubrick's style in the 21st century. The adventures of anonymous heroine in a relatable sci-fi future. This tale of Scarlett Johansson roaming around, in a pickup van, seducing irish guys to kingdom come or in other words; sinking the hell out of them in the jello of death, is quite slow burn. But it makes you question the meaning of existential properties, human nature and what it all means. If you are looking for something to sweep carpet under your feet (in slo-mo though), then pay someone to do that or watch this.

Brace Yourself: The opening shot of the movie seems something out of the Balde Runner or 2001: A Space Odyssey world.
