Jeffrey Speicher is a Senior Features Writer and List Writer for Collider. He is a screenwriter as well as a film and television buff. He lives in Dallas, Texas, but can't stand the Cowboys. His crime novel, "The Snitch" is available on Amazon.
One of the cruelest plot devices in cinema is the gaslight. In a world that gets increasingly topsy-turvy with each passing year, everyone is just trying to keep it together for another day.
Unsane is straight of horrifying. Getting caught in the cogs of the psychiatric complex is just as bad as going to prison for something you didn't do. When the people making decisions about Sawyer's future are gaslighting her, it seems like she will fold under the pressure. Soon, it becomes a vicious circle of trying to prove she's competent even as her stalker shows up as a nurse at the facility.
Release Date June 4, 1998 Cast Jim Carrey , Laura Linney , Noah Emmerich , Natascha McElhone , Holland Taylor , Brian Delate Runtime 103 Writers Andrew Niccol 8 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' Directed by Philip Kaufman It takes one hell of a gaslight to play the entire population of planet Earth. The ones who are still human are left to decipher which of the others are pod people while trying to fit into a population that is becoming increasingly devoid of emotion.
There are evil kids in movie history, like Damien from The Omen or Isaac from Children of the Corn, but they can't hold a candle to how Machiavellian and bad Martell's Aidan is. After days with no power in a cold lodge, cabin fever begins to set in, and the vulnerable Grace is in no position to fight. The Lodge is the perfect example of how gaslighting can come from multiple sources.
Release Date February 7, 2013 Cast Rooney Mara , Carmen Pelaez , Marin Ireland , Channing Tatum , Polly Draper , Haraldo Alvarez Runtime 100 minutes Writers Scott Z. Burns 4 'Changeling' Directed by Clint Eastwood Changeling is a massive outlier in Clint Eastwood's astonishingly prolific career because it is one of the few times he delves into the depths of psychological drama with a gaslighting twist.
Les Diaboliques, as it is referred to in France, was a truly shocking film from the mid-1950s, setting new standards for what could be discussed and viewed on the big screen. The gaslighting subplot of Christina is really only one of the remarkable aspects of this marvelous noir film. Diabolique was a trailblazing film that paved the way and inspired others, including Alfred Hitchcock, showing relationships with much more complexity and layered nuance than was being shown anywhere in the world.
