In the world there are a huge number of moviegoers, and just amateurs to spend their evening in the company of an interesting film. Most of them have some preferences in choosing a genre. For some it’s a comedy, for some it’s a fantasy, someone loves drama, but someone loves psychological thrillers.
Needless to say - this is a very burning genre that just "catches the brain." But it’s worth mentioning right away that in this situation there are different options. That is, films of this genre - they are different. But how to choose the best psychological thriller? After all, there are actually a huge number of them! What is the best psychological thriller?
I must admit that for many, the solution to this issue is a real problem. But first things first.
There are those psychological thrillers that do not belong to the category of horrors. There is no human blood pouring in a river. But at the same time there is human psychology. These are films about mania, about phobias and about other problems of a person with his psyche. There are no ghosts or monsters. However, even without this, a high-quality film of this type will be able to keep the viewer in suspense all the time watching. Even more, such a movie will definitely leave an emotional imprint. Here we are talking about the human soul, and the viewer is once again reminded that the most terrible beast is just the same person.
Needless to say, after this it will certainly be scary to return alone at night
home. What belongs to this genre? “Law-abiding citizen”, “Lollipop”, Illusion of flight ”,“ Secret window ”,“ Enough is enough for me! ” and many others. We can say with confidence that several of these works so certainly pretend to be called only the best psychological thriller. Well, or at least a good psychological thriller.
And there is another version of psychological thrillers. These films also cling to their viewers, but they do it in a slightly different way. This is a category of films that you can safely record in horror. A great example is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Although, such a film is already a little old, but still.
Well, how can one not recall the films “Island of the Damned” and “Silence of the Lambs” here. These two works certainly claim to be called "the best psychological thriller." With all this, it is worth noting that these works can be attributed to both the first and second categories. The fact is that on the one hand we are talking about the human psyche, about what it does. But on the other hand, such films cannot be called horror films.
By the way, in the CIS, these two films deserve the title of best. That is, each of them really has the right to be called "the best psychological thriller." However, for all this, it cannot be said that absolutely everyone agrees with this position. Yes, according to the course, the majority, but here are some who put in the rank of the best completely different picture. This is the same "Law-abiding citizen" and "Psycho." And it cannot be said that such people are fundamentally wrong. In the end, there are no mates to the taste and color.
