This category could probably be filled by Hitchcock films but i decided to go with just the two.

Misery. That was in my head when i saw the catagory but got lost between then and writing up the list. Think of it as an honourary addition.

Difficult. firstly a top 100 would be possible. secondly i've tried to avoid anything that's more horror as Hollywood had a habit of re-branding horror as psychological thrillers. primalfear.jpg stoker.jpg vertigo.jpg rear window.jpg seven.jpg taxi driver.jpg cape.jpg one hour photo.jpg killer joe.jpg breakdown.jpg |

NORTH AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS
Like Demdike, I could have done a top 10 of Hitchcock's psychological thrillers, but limited it to my two favourites.

Apropos of nothing, am i the only person that doesn't rate Se7en particularly highly? I saw it at the cinema on release and thought the big 'reveal' at the end was foreshadowed far too clumsily.

I too love Se7en and Silence of the Lambs but wouldn't class them as psychological thrillers.

I consider both of them to be psychological horrors because, using the definition from Peter Hutchings, "the thrills are provided […] via a investigations of the psychologies of principal characters" and "there is a category of psychological thriller that fits, sometimes uncomfortably between genres of crime and horror"

Thanks to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite North American psychological thrillers. This week is a simple category, one I don't think has been done before and is devoted to an Oscar-winning actor and director who has been in feature films since 1970. TOMMY LEE JONES |
