Any recommendations for a good psychological thriller type movie I can get into tonight? Thanks.

Check out "Panic". Great story, acting, cast...pretty much everything. I liked it a lot.

Have you seen Orphan? That was a pretty good movie. I'd recommend that myself.

There's also another movie with Renee Zellweger called Case 39. I've seen parts of the movie at the military recruit center. I need to find and watch this movie. Freaky!!!

Thanks, everyone! I did see Orphan-very good movie-freaky! I wondered about Legion? The Crazies was just okay, and Shutter Island was pretty good.

I haven't seen Legion...but it does look like another freaky movie. May want to go for that.

Well, ya can guess, I can keep goin' ... SERIOUS cinephile, and ya picked perhaps my fav genre!!! Love to sit on the edge of my seat guessin' ...

Edit ... Good luck ... I love every single one of these!!!

Alfred Hitchcock movies are the best! I loved his version of The Lodger. It's a silent film...black and white. If you appreciate that type of work, you'd love the movie. There is a remake of The Lodger. I didn't care too much for the newer one. I was pretty disappointed.

Silence of the Lambs!

Strangers from all different walks of life: a limo driver escorting a movie star, parents with a young son, a cop transporting a convict, a prostitute, a young couple, and a motel manager are caught up in a nasty rainstorm, stuck at a motel in desolate Nevada. Soon they realize they may be at the motel for another reason when one by one, people start getting killed off. As tensions flare and fingers are pointed, they have to get to the bottom of why they're there. Meanwhile in an undisclosed location, a psychiatrist is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial. How these two through-lines are related can only be found in Identity.


Malcolm Rivers (Pruitt Taylor Vince) is a psychotic killer awaiting execution for several vicious murders that took place at a motel. His psychiatrist, Doctor Malick (Alfred Molina), has discovered a journal belonging to Rivers that may explain why he really committed the murders. With this late evidence brought forth, a new hearing takes place on a stormy night in which Malick will try to persuade the Judge to spare Rivers. Meanwhile, a group of ten strangers, through a number of circumstances, find themselves stranded in the middle of the storm in a remote motel in the Nevada desert. With the phone lines down due to the storm, the group prepare to spend the night, taking care of those that have been injured through their arrival. However, the group quickly finds that there is an unknown murderer present, killing off each of the guests and leaving behind one of the motel's room keys to be found, starting with Room 10's key and counting down.

At the hearing, the contents of Malcolm's journal are revealed, indicating the prisoner suffers from an extreme case of Dissociative Identity Disorder, harboring ten distinct personalities. Malick is able to bring forth one of Malcolm's personalities, Ed (John Cusack), revealing that events at the motel are occurring inside Malcolm's mind, each personality being a distinct person though all sharing the same birth date. After hearing of events in the motel, Malick informs the Ed personality that he must find and eliminate the hostile personality in order to prevent Malcolm from being executed lest all the personalities be killed off. In the motel setting, as the group is dwindled down, Ed believes that the personality of Rhodes (Ray Liotta) is the murderer, and sacrifices himself to kill Rhodes, leaving only Paris (Amanda Peet) alive. When Malick demonstrates that that homicidal personality is dead, the Judge decides to place Malcolm in a mental institution under Malick's care.

As Malcolm is driven along with Malick to the institution, in Malcolm's mind, Paris has driven away from the motel to her hometown in Florida. As she tends an orange grove, she discovers the Room 1 motel key in the ground, and turns around to find the young Timmy standing behind her. Timmy, the true homicidal personality, had orchestrated all the deaths at the motel, and made it appear that he had been killed as well; he finishes his task by killing Paris, reciting Hughes Mearns's Antigonish. Now driven only by Timmy, Malcolm strangles Malick, which proves he was faking the whole time, and the transport truck runs off the side of the road.

Love that movie! Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster made a great pair in that movie.

Thanks again, and Dancere, you never cease to amaze me!!! I'm set for the next year! "The Game" was twists and turns the whole way. A must see for anyone in my opinion. "Kalifornia" is crazy-one of Brad Pitt's early movies I believe. Crazy!!!

Excellent film!

Ooooo, Grosse Point Blank ... Speaking of John Cusack ... GREAT!

Gene Watson is a public accountant who arrives on a train at Union Station in Los Angeles, accompanied by his 6-year-old daughter Lynn. Because of his ordinary looks, he is approached by a pair of sinister people named Smith and Jones. Pretending to be cops, Smith and Jones kidnap Lynn and confront Gene with a simple choice -- kill California governor Eleanor Grant in 90 minutes or less, or Lynn will die. Watson is given a gun, six bullets, and a name tag, and he is told to go to the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and kill Eleanor, who is giving an afternoon speech. While Jones is watching Lynn in a van, Smith watches Watson in order to prevent Watson from alerting the authorities. Watson must quickly find some way to get himself and Lynn out of this seemingly impossible situation.

Gene Watson arrives home in Los Angeles, after attending his ex-wife's funeral, with his daughter. Soon, his daughter is kidnapped. He is given a gun, and the picture and itinerary of a person, and told that if he hasn't killed that person in one hour and fifteen minutes, his daughter will be killed. We then follow him through that time
