We have arrived at installment number seven! This is so much fun! There are so many great movies here for you all to devour and ingest. So many surprises. So many just crazy bonkers things that happen in these movies… and I love every single one of them. We are getting into the meat of this list, and woah, are these movies over the top.
As a reminder, we started with our Mind Fuck movie list number One, and we’ve proceeded for seven straight posts… and will continue on until we get all the way to number 1.
Also, here are our criteria for determining what a mind job movie even is:
- 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!
