Welcome! Come one come all!! We have been working our way through this enormous list of Mind Job movies, that started with number one right here. And as I explained in our first entry, we are delving into the world of Mind Job movies… and in order to do this correctly, I came up with six criteria that made a movie a Mind Fuck movie. And, I also, arbitrarily decided that in order for a movie to be on this list, it needed to land on at least two of these criteria…
- Reality is Untrustworthy
- The Ending Reconstitutes Everything
- Identity is Unstable
- Time is Fractured
- Psychological Dread
- Moral Inversion.
Fantastic. With all that said, let’s get to the reason why you are here… The movies!
