Good Housekeeping's Full List of 40 of the Best Psychological Thriller Movies of All Time

"When it comes to scary movies, many love to go to the cinema for the chance to experience a jump scare & being at the edge of their seats. While that's common with horror films, a psychological thriller movie is a bit different. These films get inside your head, giving you a scare that stays long after the lights come back on. They also take some time for the true horror to build, sometimes with an unexpected twist the viewer never saw coming. If you're looking for the best psychological thriller movies, we curated a list perfect for anyone who wants to take their time getting frightened. Some are from directors that have mastered the art of suspense; others are famous book-to-movie adaptations. Whichever movie you decide to watch, just be prepared to not necessarily sleep at night. Whether you're an avid psychological thriller fan or you're looking for a mind-bending movie to watch, we've rounded up the all-time best psychological thrillers you can watch now." - goodhousekeeping.com
