Collider has published a ranked list of the ten greatest psychological thrillers released over the past 45 years, compiled by writer Michael Block. The countdown spans multiple decades and genres, from crime dramas built around fear and manipulation to stories of amnesiac protagonists piecing together traumatic events, and is framed as a "brilliant cross-section" of the genre rather than an exhaustive ranking.

Sitting at number ten is David Fincher's 2014 adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, whose wife Amy (Rosamund Pike, who won an Oscar for the role) stages her own disappearance to frame him after discovering his affair. The article praises the film's sharp script, cold visual style and media satire, alongside Pike's and Affleck's performances, as reasons for its inclusion, with the remaining nine entries continuing the countdown up to the number-one pick.
