Hi, Watchers!

Welcome back to another edition of mind-bending movies to watch. Everyone loves a good plot twist, so here are five more movies that left me jaw-dropped:

Interstellar

Follow the story of a man living on a farm with his father and two children. They struggle with rapidly dying crops and a second dust bowl -- sure signs that the Earth is in bad shape and will soon become inhabitable. That is when he discovers a secret project run by NASA.

With his background as a former spacecraft pilot, they ask him to make an impossible choice: leave his family behind -- risking never seeing them again -- to save all of humanity, or spend his final days with the ones he loves. His choice takes him on a dangerous journey where he will have to fight against time before it's too late.

Where to Watch: Paramount Plus, Hulu, Sling TV, Prime Video, Vudu, Redbox, Apple TV, FXNow, YouTube TV

Prisoners

When a father and his family visit a close friend and neighbor for the holidays, everything seems to go well. That is until their two very young daughters decide to play outside alone, and they never come back. With both families searching for the little girls, they have a glimmer of hope when an officer finds the person who may have been behind the abduction.

Without sufficient evidence to arrest the suspect and subtle doubts about his involvement, the police are forced to let him go. This leads the father down a path that will test his values, morals, and judgment, all to find the truth behind what happened to his daughter.

Where to Watch: Netflix, Prime Video, Vudu, Apple TV, Redbox

Black Box

Follow the story of a man with amnesia struggling to care for his young daughter. Since returning home from the hospital, he has had a very challenging time remembering even the most simple things and has become growingly dependent on his daughter to care for both of them. While at the same time, he has an unsettling case of night terrors, which also take place during the day and have further affected his efficiency as a parent.

That is when one day, he decides to seek help from a world-renowned doctor and immerse himself in a trial study. He soon finds himself in a terrifying mental nightmare, where he also learns that not all is what it seems.

Where to Watch: Prime Video

Sightless

After a woman is brutally attacked one night and somehow manages to survive, she is unfortunately left without her ability to see. With the challenge of adjusting to her blindness, she stays home during her recovery period and hires someone to help care for her.

At first, all is going well. Until one night, she encounters something truly terrifying. Her attacker returned, and the next day no one believed her. Soon she finds herself in the biggest fight of her life, and the revelation of who has been tormenting her will leave you speechless.

Where to Watch: Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV

The Guilty

Here is a second appearance of Jake Gyllenhaal on the mind-bending list. Follow the story of a former police detective who struggles with his new position as a 9-1-1 operator. His demotion has led him to lose a sense of compassion for his job, as he feels useless.

After a large number of false alarm calls to 9-1-1, he receives one that leads him down a high-stakes journey to save a woman in distress. She has been abducted, and he is the only one who has the ability to communicate with her, so he does everything to help her escape. But soon, he finds that there is so much more to the story.
