    Lilja 4-Ever by Lucas Moodysson could've fit this list. It's an ultra-depressing drama about an abandoned teenage girl living in the former Soviet Union, pushed into prostitution and other humiliations. And when things finally start to look better for her it's just the beginning of an even worse downward spiral without any hope in sight.
    Nuclear-holocaust drama Threads would also fit.

      Here's one that made me fear for the future of humanity: "Mystery Skin", directed by Gregg Araki and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's about the long-term effects that childhood se#$al abuse has on two boys. As they reach late adolescence, one of the boys is surviving by resorting to male prostitution. There is no let-up from the trauma and sad situations. While Gordon-Levitt is amazing as always, the movie is super depressing.

    I watched "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons" a few days ago and it had me wondering...
    Is it possible a thing like this actually happen in real life? How much of a narcissistic behavior the abuser had? When and how did it start? But what gets me really mad is knowing that there are people out there covering this kind of shit up, because they're scared, because they're weak...

    Excellent list and a big thanks to the commenters! I've added quite a few to my list. This is my favorite genre if it can be called that. Essentials missing from that list would include : Hereditary, The Lodge, The house that jack built, Inside, Visitor Q, Braid, Coming Home in the dark, Speak No Evil, The Platform (? been a while but had it listed) Most of them instilling a profound sense of dread or least and heighten unease, visceral repulsion on a human level leaving a haunting/lasting effect.

    Emma, I was astounded and happy that you lead off with Compliance. First time I've had someone consider this a hard psychological drama that crawls under your skin. Strict work structures with no recourse between levels or to speak for the lower (and mostly younger) workers may not move this fast in going from level of abuse to another, but this movie still haunts me no matter how many years ago I saw it. It's an important film, more so than ever before in US, as political leanings interrupt life as we knew it and make the landscape worse.

I told them reading this book is like watching a car crash. You want to look away but you can't. As horrible as the movie probably was, the book was in some ways worse because it took longer than two hours to read. Even so, I'm probably not going to watch the movie. The book was brutal enough.

    My flatmate tells me she hates horror. But she loves psychological thrillers. She saw Don't Worry Darling last night and didn't think it was all that. What top 10 psychological thrillers that are NOT horrors (but border on) could I recommend her to convince her that perhaps she doesn't hate the horror genre after all? Note: She considers a horror film to be anything supernatural or slasher
