Unnerving thriller with lots of different threads
While elements of this psychological thriller seem far-fetched, there's something ghoulish and almost Stephen King-like in its approach.

Following the narrative of Ed, the teacher recounts his childhood with his friends and the time they found the dismembered body of a young woman. In the meantime, chalk drawings keep appearing, and take a life of their own.

While the ending is startling and worth listening to the finish, at times the back and forth narrative from past to future becomes convoluted and can be hard to keep track, let alone concentrate. A good thriller, but with a lot of loose ends.

Unusal Treatment
The Jacket- is a good psychological thriller that has good horror elements in it. It does mess with your mind.

The plot: Amnesiac Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) can't explain why he's been found at the scene of a murder. Ordered to a mental hospital, Jack is subjected to Dr. Thomas Becker's (Kris Kristofferson) unusual treatment plan, which involves mysterious injections, sensory deprivation and confinement in a straitjacket. Locked away on his own, Jack discovers he can travel to the future, where he's compelled to help a onetime acquaintance (Keira Knightley) and investigate his own odd fate.

It does has a really good cast, it is a slow pace film in the beginning but does pick up in the middle.

So overall a good psychological thriller.

Gripping from start to finish
I was absolutely hooked by this psychological thriller. A lot of twists and turns, you delve into the mind of an alcoholic, and even feel like you experience the same nerve wracking incidents in which nothing is fluid. The characters were believable, with both good and bad sides highlighted. Nothing is what it seems. A well-constructed book.

The situations and attitudes that arise in this book are all too believable which make this a brilliant and horrible book to read.

Slow and a little tedious
Contains spoilers, click to show
This psychological thriller began with tinges of a David Lynch film, and finished with an inconclusive, fluffy conclusion. The lack of connected thoughts and plot made it difficult to concentrate - it makes some sense as it is supposed to be a reflection of the protagonist's mental state - however it was not well executed.

It's starting to get a little predictable with the abusive spouse story - this kind of storyline definitely needs a revamp. The performance was fine but the thriller was a little too drab.
