10 Psychological Thrillers That Genuinely Mess With Your Head

One of the most acclaimed films of all time, David Fincher's Seven is an absolute rollercoaster from start to finish. Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as a brash young detective and his experienced mentor, the film revolves around a prolific serial killer named John Doe who becomes infamous after modelling all of his kills around each one of the seven deadly sins.

Kevin Spacey's performance as Doe is undoubtedly what helps add an extra layer of depth to this psychological crime thriller. His cold voice and lack of remorse, coupled obviously with his heinous crimes, is so alien to most folk that it messes with an audience's head to imagine an individual acting like Doe does.

There's also the thrilling climax of the film that is triggered when Doe turns himself in to the police and has a parcel delivered to Pitt's Detective Mills at a rendezvous location in the wilderness.

Everything from the mystery of what's in the delivered box, Doe's continued lack of remorse, to Pitt's genuinely haunting final delivery is enough to leave audiences breathless and sign off a film that is sure to leave them shaken up.
