Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the wide-ranging thriller genre. However, this genre often incorporates elements from themystery and drama genre in addition to the typical traits of the thriller genre.
Example:
American Psycho by Marry Harron, (2000)
Patrick Bateman is handsome, well educated and intelligent. He is twenty-seven and living his own American dream. He works by day on Wall Street, earning a fortune to complement the one he was born with. At night he descends into madness, as he experiments with fear and violence. This film has more cringe moments than any other I have seen. This is probably the most gruesome of the films on the list – but it does manage to keep it as “tasteful” as possible. The worst scene for me is one involving a drawer full of medical implements. If you have seen the film you will know what I mean.
