PSYCHIC KILLER (1975) was # 2.
practically every single VIPCO vhs and dvd I had, had the trailer to PSYCHIC KILLER. I must've seen that trailer over 100,000 times before seeing the movie.
the other 2 trailers that they always always had, were SHOGUN ASSASSIN, and THE MANITOU
I seen PSYCHIC KILLER in 1975, at the theater! It was on a double bill with RACE WITH THE DEVIL (1975)!

Right? When you're fat, no one ever lets you forget it. You can't ever just be known as an "idiot" or a "jerk" or a "taunted teenager"....... you gotta' be a "fat idiot", a "fat jerk", and a "taunted overweight teenager"....... sheesh. :bouncegiggle:

The whole movie was based on her being fat. From the Mean Girls at school to her father, they constantly shamed her. As reviewers of the movie pointed out, though, she wasn't even really fat. The final showdown, when Lee Grant put the telekinetic smackdown on Rita, happened in the kitchen while she was making a grilled cheese even though she "knew she shouldn't eat so late."

Kinda reminds me of The Lathe Of Heaven....
Also reminds me of some movie I can't remember the name of..... Some guy dreams about killing two women, his cat & a TV reporter, then his psychiatrist tries hypnotism, & he does the black contact lenses before he psychically kills her.....

Push (2008) - starring Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans - a down and out telekinetic in Hong Kong is met by a young seer who tells him that her visions tell her they can be rich if they find a briefcase. Meanwhile, a shadow gov group of psychics including a mind controlling nutcase hunts them down through the streets of Hong Kong.

Stephen King's Cat's Eye - (1985) - an anthology movie consisting of three stories by Stephen King, with a roaming cat as the common thread. The cat regularly has visions of a young Drew Barrymore pleading for help. The final story shows the cat and Drew together as a troll emerges every night to steal her breath. So, that's kinda psychic, isn't it?

Do hypnotic powers count? If so, we can include Svengali (1931) and various other adaptations of Trilby.
