10 Best Psychological Thrillers On Netflix
4. Nightcrawler
While it may be framed as a crime thriller, Nightcrawler's focus on the psychology of its protagonist elevates it to psychological thriller status.
Louis Bloom is struggling to make ends meet. One night he comes across a group of people filming a violent car crash so they can sell the footage to a news station. Lou, being the creep he is, is inspired to pick up a camera and do the same.
Nightcrawler is a character study before anything else. Lou Bloom isn't just an incredibly fascinating character, but one that, despite all of his horrible actions, is hard not to root for.
He is charismatic, but not in a charming cult leader kind of way. Rather, his personality is so forceful that it becomes magnetic. He'll go to any ends to achieve his goals, no matter who he hurts in the process. All the while with a twisted, yet trusting, smile on his face.
