Think Fight Club, but for psychopaths. Click the link above for an in-depth list of the most mind-blowing movies, tv shows, and fictional books about gaslighting and narcissism that’ll keep you questioning yourself until the very end.

Excerpts from the Article:

“One of the best thrillers depicting narcissists, psychopaths, and gaslighting, the show Tell Me Your Secrets masterfully depicts psychopathic traits across multiple predatory characters with chilling accuracy and follows a kind of ongoing war among them. Think Fight Club, but for psychopaths. It has one of the most mind-boggling plot twist endings, exposing that covert wolves in sheep’s clothing can come in many forms."

“We learn in the movie just how far a psychopathic person will go to get revenge and regain power and control, and moreover, we also see how chameleon-like they are, shifting into different roles and identities to meet their agendas…This is the quintessential movie you want to watch if you ever wanted an answer to the question, “What happens when a psychopath encounters a narcissist in the never-ending mind games of a toxic marriage?” 

“Not for the faint of heart, Hard Candy is what some wished the movie Promising Young Woman could’ve been – a hard-hitting, gory vigilante film that shows no mercy to either the predator in the film or its viewers. Starring Elliot Page as the adolescent Haley, who serves as a kind of karmic Little Red Riding Hood to the predatory wolf in sheep’s clothing Jeff, Hard Candy is an enthralling movie that captures what occurs when the roles of victim and perpetrator get reversed and the victim takes on the role of the one in power. As Jeff tries out every pity ploy and rationalizing sob story in the book to gaslight Hayley about his true nature, viewers get a glimpse of what it looks like when an enlightened victim takes on a psychopath and is ruthless in how she dishes out what she perceives to be justice.” - Shahida Arabi, MA
