Movie Recommendations
Hello all, Long-time lurker first post, so i wanna make it count. I'm looking for suggestions for more modern movies that have a emphasis on being a psychological thriller/killer theme. Examples would be Session 9, Jack goes home, Patient Seven etc.. All recommendations appreciated.
Looking forward to being more apart of the forums |
Stoker is a really good psychological killer thriller

Do you say "modern" because you've seen most things? Or do you just dislike dated things?
I couldn't really find many from the last couple of years--mainly because this is my least favorite subgenre of horror. I do however use this subgenre as a compromising bridge to reach some people who don't necessarily like supernatural "monster" type horror. So I am semi-familiar with it. Hopefully this helps, or leads you to something that does. Enjoy. In the Mouth of Madness (1994) Jacob's Ladder (1990) Bug (2006) Babadook (2014) Funny Games (1997) (Killer) Idenity (2003) High Tension (2003) Frailty (2001) Nightwatch (1997) The Minus Man (1999) |
Check out Korean movies, f.e. Old boy and Chaser. The Chaser really inpressed me, Old boy is great too.

Oldboy is amazingly brilliant,but DO NOT under any circumstances watch the remake.
I Saw the Devil is also one of the greatest serial killer movies ever made. |

Sadly, original poster HANGUONHOOKS never came back to the forums... although perhaps they came back to lurk without loging back in. Quote:

Without regard to the age of the film, in addition to ones already mentioned, I'd recommend: Fracture Dressed to Kill (1980) Se7en Body Double (1984) Basic Instinct (1992) The 6th Sense Silence of the Lambs Red Dragon Manhunter Felt Split Psycho (1960) Color of the Night (is ok) And depending on what we mean by "psychological/thriller/killer theme"... Body Heat (1981) Rope |
The Sixth Sense is definitely one of the best and such a classic
|
You might give Hitchcock's Shadow Of A Doubt a try.
|
I'm really picky about what I like for some reason. The few movies I would recommend are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), IT (original and new) Signs, Darkness Falls, The Babadook, and The Void.
|
Though I love movies like The Void I don't think they're really pshychological thrillers. I agree on Chaser and Stoker that are Korean masterpieces.
I suggest Honeymoon : low budget but amazing. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y36fsDF8tc...1600/Nahwi.jpg |
The Sentinel (1977), which is the same theme as Rogue One, the Star Wars spin-off
I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is the same theme as Best of the Best 2 The Conjuring 2 Annabelle Creation The Exorcism of Emily Rose Non-horror films Nocturnal Animals The Master (2012) - which is the same theme as Interview With The Vampire GoldenEye |
