Thank you to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite films about inventors or innovators.
The topic for this week is a broad one with many different definitions, where there's some overlap with horror and gialli films.
Of all the definitions I've seen, my favourite is this one by Peter Hutchings:
Quote:

"The label "psychological thriller" has been applied, often loosely or vaguely, to different types of film. It usually refers to narratives with domesticated settings in which action is suppressed and where the thrills are provided instead via investigations of the psychologies of principal characters. There's nothing intrinsically horror-like about the psychological thriller. However, post-1950s horror cinema has increasingly deployed psychological concepts and scenarios, consequently there is a category of psychological thriller that sits, sometimes uncomfortably between the genres of crime and horror."

This week is limited to those psychological thrillers which were made in the United States and Canada.
