There’s a strange satisfaction in watching characters unravel, secrets come to light, and reality twist into something unrecognizable. That’s the thrill I chase every time I press play on a psychological thriller movie/series.

My love for this amazing genre started a year ago, when I first watched Mr. Robot, well what should I say, it was not a time-passing movie, it was a whole experience that I gulped fully over the 4 seasons repeatedly.

I knew I wasn’t going to stop when I finished watching Mr.Robot s1, the excitement was so high and true that it’s unexplainable, at that time I had just finished my college exams, therefore I enjoyed every bit of time to watch my favorite series

Mr. Robot series encouraged me to watch other thriller movies (both old and new). Like Shutter Island, Inception, and the most recent series I watched on Netflix that was so well depicting its story and plot that it left me speechless.

The series name was 3 Body Problem, a science fiction series revolving around the concept of the future of humanity, well sorry for mentioning it late, I also keep a fond for science fiction films. Let's talk about it some other day

This particular genre has a unique taste in its serving, it glues us until the climax, like it's telling us what you are witnessing is nothing compared to what you’re going to witness

people who watch movies of this genre can strongly relate to me

Am I right to say that or not?

Doesn’t your mind bend when the climax finally shows in front of you and you’re just like

What just happened?

Yes, this is the real deal of the psychological thriller movie world. Once you enter, you cannot escape it, returning to taste it again and again.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t watch or respect other movie genres, honestly it fully depends on the movie’s quality it delivers to its viewers that makes them memorable

Which movie genre do you like the most?

Is it action, romance, or horror?
