Hello, my girlfriend, who is a psychology major, liked this movie quite a bit, mainly because it's a psychological thriller that involves profilers. I am looking for movies similar to Mindhunters, and naturally, IMDB's forum was the first place I turned to. Any recommendations at all will be greatly appreciated!
shareDear fellow, I am interested in the subject of profiling and forensics, and I loved this movie too. I can't think of any movie like this, but I guess you might love some psychological thrillers such as "The spiral staircase" by director Robert Siodmak, "What ever happened to Baby Jane?" by Robert Aldrich, and "Witness for the prosecution" by Billy Wilder, from a play by Agatha Christie. The structure of this movie reminded me of another masterpiece by Agatha Christie "...And then there were none", you absolutely must read it. I also can recommend you some unmissable books, written by the world-renowned most famous profiler ever, John Douglas: "Mindhunter", "Journey into darkness", "Obsession", "The anatomy of motive", and my favourite "The cases that haunt us".

It's not a movie, but you can get it on DVD ...
The TV show Criminal Minds... It's all about profiling.
There was of course a T.V. series that was about profilers...
if I could only remember the title.....
OH YEAH!: "Profiler" :P

Identity is exactly like Mindhunters in that there's a group of people who are being killed off one by one and the survivors have to find out who the killer is before they all get killed.
shareI thought that the term "psychological thriller" is supposed to be used to describe movies like Memento and The Machinist.
shareIt's quite a bit like "10 Little Indians", there's been about two remakes. It's worth checking out and comparing it to this movie.
shareThe Silence of the Lambs... it's like the ultimate profiler movie. At least it's the best, end of story ;)
