What if someone from your past suddenly shows up at your new home? Or what if you find yourself trapped in someone else's game where any mistake could lead to disaster?

We've compiled a list of five psychological thrillers that will make viewers paranoid, cause you to doubt reality, and offer plot twists that will leave even the most observant guessing the ending.

1. 'Nocturnal Animals', 2016

IMDb Score: 7.4/10

Susan leads an impeccable lifestyle: she lives in a luxurious house, has a prestigious job, and doesn't worry about money. One day, she receives a package from her ex-husband containing the manuscript of his novel. He asks her to read it and tell him what she thinks.

At first, it seems like a simple gesture from someone from her past. However, the more Susan reads, the clearer it becomes that the book is not just fiction but an attempt to hurt her feelings.

Susan thinks less and less about the plot and more and more about herself: betrayal, loss, and a seemingly successful life that feels empty inside.

2. 'Limitless', 2011

IMDb Score: 7.4/10

Eddie is a struggling writer facing a lack of inspiration, looming deadlines, and dwindling funds. Then, suddenly, he gains access to NZT, a pill that unlocks 100 percent of his brain's capabilities, dramatically increasing his concentration and productivity.

Decisions become easy, the book that used to be a struggle now seems to write itself, and money and career success come at the snap of a finger. But everything comes at a price.

3. 'Black Box', 2020

IMDb Score: 6.2/10

Nolan survives the car accident but suffers memory loss. His wife is gone, and he is raising his ten-year-old daughter alone. The man is trying to piece his life together and is struggling to cope with even the simplest everyday tasks.

When his problems become too noticeable, he agrees to an experimental procedure with a neurologist. A Black Box is supposed to help him regain his memories. However, the more he learns, the more he doubts his own identity.

4. 'The Gift', 2015

IMDb Score: 7.0/10

Simon and Robyn are a young couple who have moved into a new home and are trying to start a new life. However, it's difficult to escape the past, especially when it's already knocking on the door – an acquaintance of Simon's from school comes to visit.

He brings gifts, leaves notes, and stops by seemingly by chance. He behaves with deliberate politeness and the more pleasant the gestures, the more uneasy the atmosphere becomes.

Furthermore, Simon is clearly hiding something from his school days, which undermines his wife's trust. Home gradually ceases to be a safe place, and the past becomes difficult to forget.

5. 'The Game', 1997

IMDb Score: 7.7/10

Nicholas Van Orton is a wealthy investment banker who seems to have everything except ordinary happiness – he's lonely and keeps everyone at arm's length. He has also lived with painful memories of his father's death for years.

On his 48th birthday, his younger brother Conrad suddenly appears and gives him a strange certificate for The Game. Nicholas is skeptical but agrees anyway.

It becomes a point of no return: random people know too much, coincidences seem eerie, and his reputation, money, and personal safety are at risk.
