34 Movies Guaranteed To Mess With Your Head

"The movie really messed with me. So much so that I sat there stunned for ten minutes after the credits rolled. I watched it one more time and it still left me with that same sense of 'what the actual hell'. It's a good movie that will make you a little nervous about all the recent AI news."

A complete mindfuck of a film: Mostly because of the whole society in the movie, how it works, and a couple of the twists. I watched it and couldn't sleep afterwards because I was so flabbergasted.
