Does anyone know of any similar movies like The Game, a mysterious psychology drama?
Two that i have watched are Enemy (2013) and Eyes Wide Shut. Although Enemy has its flaws, the biggest being it was rushed and finished way too early it still kept me in suspense throughout the movie. If you know of any similar movies please list below. Thanks :)

I would say The Game = Dark City + Scrooged

Huh is scrooged not just an adaption of a christmas carol?

Try Jacob's Ladder (1990) and Santa Sangre (1989)

I know of no movie quite like The Game but am open to finding some. I love Identity, btw.

Cabin in the Woods.

like 5 episodes of the 90s Outer Limits.

I see "Saw" (no pun intended) in the way jigsaw asked, "do you want to play a game?" and set everything up like an elaborate game.

Also "13 Sins"

Would 'April Fool's Day' qualify as being of a similar nature?

[–] mrmathexpert4 8 years ago

Yes, I would. Good call.

For some reason, I think of the movie eXistenZ.

[–] gottaluvafriend 8 years ago

That's a really weird movie.

All the above, and Op's thread example, are extremely remote in likeness.

[–] fortuity 8 years ago

Yes, i agree michaelohman
Thank you everybody for your responses though

If anyone is looking for a sophisticated drama/mystery with a twist at the end, i recommend The Best Offer (called Deception in the UK)
It's brilliant and has beautiful cinematography

[–] PenSeven 8 years ago

The Best Offer is a fantastic film, definitely one to watch if you enjoyed The Game. I totally agree with Fortuity on this one, the cinematography was wonderful. It's just a shame it wasn't marketed more heavily, as I stumbled across it by accident and had never heard of it before.
