18 Similar Movies To Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)

In the astonishing start of her career as a full-fledged actress in a feature film, Elizabeth Olsen gives an electrifying, star-making performance in this compelling psychological thriller, which is without a doubt one of the best of the year!

But the eerie recollections from Martha’s past jolt her into a terrible paranoia, and as the thin line that separates her reality from her delusions begins to blur, nothing appears to be a safe haven for her.

7: Intruders (2016)


It was formerly known as "Shut In" on the festival circuit, and "Intruders" is an effective home invasion thriller that features interesting performances and great pacing... until it isn't. As is case with so many other films in this genre, "Intruders" struggles to find its footing in the film's third and final act. As a result, the movie transforms from an exciting game of predator-and-prey into something more akin to "Saw." The filmmaker, Adam Schindler, is more skilled with actors…

8: The Perfection (2018)


It appears as though "The Perfection" is going to be a story along the lines of "All About Eve," with the sexual problems of "Black Swan," and the tensions of "Whiplash," until it careens into David Cronenberg's body horror, obliterating any idea that you know where things are headed. The fact that the players are never given any indication of where anything is going is "The Perfection's" most enjoyable feature (and it is fun). In "The Perfection," a horrific grindhouse…

18: Before I Go to Sleep (2014)


The genre exercise "Before I Go To Sleep" has the potentially misleading title "Before I Go To Sleep," which is designed to keep viewers sitting bolt upright in their seats. This gives humorous critics a ready-made punchline at the first sign of drowsiness in the audience. Rowan Joffe's portrayal of S.J. Watson's 2011 publishing craze is far from a snooze; the bad news is that the film's rising, po-faced ludicrousness is what retains our interest. The good news is that…
