20 Brilliant Mind-F*ck Movies
14. The Truman Show

While many of these films contain horror elements, The Truman Show has a more gentle way of playing with the audiences minds. What if the world around you was all a charade, and your entire life was a hugely popular television show? Its a Nineteen Eighty-Four Big Brother story for the modern age.
The world around Jim Carreys Truman only truly exists when hes paying attention to it. Everyone he knows is an actor, performing a role in his life and then clocking off to go home at the end of the day. His home, his street, his work place none of it is real.
This is a film that lingers in the memory. An eerily empty street can still trigger thoughts of well, thats a bit Truman Show, isnt it? it may not be horrific, but this one still freaks me out to this day. And if a film can make you question reality itself, it must be doing something right.
