With the release of Gerard Butler’s Law Abiding Citizen, I started thinking about the psychological thriller genre. Due to its impressive number of triumphs in recent years, it has become one of the most consistent genres for those looking for entertaining films with a twist. It’s therefore my pleasure to present 50 good psychological thriller movies which you might find of interest.
