Amazing unexpected thriller!
Wow, what a shocker movie!
We were kept on the edge of our seats the entire movie.
The movie had such an unexpected ending!
Amazing thriller that kept us laser focused for the entire movie!
The movie has wonderful acting, great scenery, dramatic camera work and thriller music background.
There are great scenes of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area and neighborhoods.
Overall, very intriguing story line and tumultuous plot changes that make you hang on for every scene and keep you second guessing the surprising and terrifying conclusion!
Thank you for the great entertainment.

Here is a movie that gets right to it! As a longtime songwriter, I have learned a phrase that works
" don't bore us get to the chorus"
As a long time movie fanatic, I assure you, "basic psych" put you on the edge of your seat early, and keeps you there.
Great acting, great dialogue, and multiple plots, along with a "cool" twist makes this movie a must see.
Director Melissa Martin, and writer Jim Tucker certainly worked well together to bring Jim 's script alive on the big screen. There are wonderful camera angles, and shots, and the lightness and darkness of the film works perfectly with a storyline, which is based around a mix of happiness, anger, distress, and suspense.
This film was shot in Pittsburgh using numerous locations which made it great fun to watch for a long time "Burgh" dweller.
Writer Jim Tucker brings us a great plot, characters, and dialog and delivers a thought provoking, suspenseful, thriller, that I enjoyed very much.
There is a great cast in this film, all delivering powerful and believable parts. I was drawn in, on board and buying it immediately.
Again, I consider myself a bit of a movie connoisseur. Movies that I "love" I can watch many many times over changing my visual gaze from foreground to background inside of each scene
I enjoy thinking outside the box of where the writer might have been trying to take us.
I also enjoy noticing strange camera angles, interesting shots, cuts and edits.
This film was full of all of the above
My only complaint and possible shortness as far as this review goes is I've only seen the movie once
Again, as a reviewer with a voracious appetite for movies and the art of "movie making" I could watch this over and over again........so could you.
I give it two thumbs up, and the standing ovation!!
Now, " when can I see it again?"

This is a fabulous thriller with a very unexpected ending. It is well written and marvelously acted. I really thought I had this one figured out but boy was I wrong. And, it is rare that movie endings satisfy me. This ending was just perfect and well thought out.
The cinematography was beautiful, and we loved and enjoyed the great Pittsburgh scenes. The casting was thoughtful with actors and actresses realistically portraying the characters.
I almost never want to see a movie more than once; however, I can't wait to see this one again. It kept me absolutely enthralled the entire time.
Well done!!

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller! Good insight into therapy and how it works (or doesn't) very realistic, great acting, and the ending was such a surprise. Great job of the character development and realistic plot development.
I attended this showing with several friends, and we were all speechless as the movie ended. We excitedly reviewed the clues, the red herrings, and had quite a few different opinions. A film that generates this much discussion after the viewing has value as a thriller. It also had such a twist at the end that was so artfully done.
I need to see this film again to follow the plot more closely.
Great film.

I have watched Basic Psych three times. The first was the most suspenseful. It captures you from the very beginning. As not to ruin the movie's suspenseful drama, I will not provide my second and third time comments. Although I will say that each time I watched, I learned something new. The character development between the patient and the psychiatrist was exceptional. I enjoyed watching the scenes of Pittsburgh and the reference to the Pittsburgh Glass Factory Center. It's a wonderful movie that leads to a great dinner or evening conversation afterwards with friends. Basic Psych is a must-see at least twice!
