New poppers and mind fuck clips on NiteFlirt
If horror films feed off our fears, then mind-fuck films feed off our confusion. And with confusion comes fear, shock, and a whole plethora of unstable emotions. A good mind-fuck film should feel like someone’s been poking around in your head and left things quite not the same. We connect with the characters who a trying to make sense of their situations. Just like we try to make sense of our own lives at times. Just because it’s confusing doesn’t mean it should be hard to watch unless that’s the desired effect. Bad storytelling is bad storytelling.
With that in mind, we look at some of the greatest mind-fucks to ever grace the big screen. Naturally, this list won’t please everyone, but there are so many amazing mind-fuck films out there that it’s hard to include all of them. A mind-fuck to some may be simple math to others.
The joy of watching a mind-fuck film (or any film in fact) is seeing it for the first time. So be warned – spoilers ahead. Let the head scratching and head hurting begin.
The absence of intertitles or text to guide the viewer through its story can make it hard to follow. But that’s not why it’s a mind-fuck. The jaw-dropping images speak for themselves. It’s the exploration of insanity, delusion, and hysteria that makes it feel like a fever dream. It’s a dark exploration of the human condition’s psyche that is undoubtedly enhanced by its lack of explanation. Part of the avant-garde movement in Japan in an era that saw many Japanese films lost, Kinugasa’s still dazzles even today.
