History PsychicPowers / Film

* The superhero film ''Film/ZoomAcademyForSuperheroes'' has a [[HeroesWantRedheads hot red-headed]] telekinetic teen (hmm, [[ComicBook/JeanGrey where did they get that idea?]]) and the [[{{Invisibility}} Invisible Man]] also develops "mindsight".

* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', River Tam's psychic powers are finally confirmed.

** Bleeders MakeMeWannaShout.

* The movie ''Film/{{Next}}'' starring Creator/NicolasCage had him as a precognitive who can always see two minutes into the future.

%%* The Creator/StephenKing adaptations ''Film/{{Carrie}}'' and ''Film/{{Firestarter}}''; see below under Literature.

* ''Film/PatrickStillLives'' is an unauthorized InNameOnly sequel to ''Patrick''. As with the original film, the title character is telekinetic, and uses it to cause harm to others. The main difference is that here he's being used by someone else for the purpose of vengeance rather than acting on his own interests.

** Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. After being experimented on by HYDRA with Loki's scepter, she gained both core psychic powers: {{Telepathy}} (in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', she induces hallucinations in the Avengers to [[MindRape reveal their worst fears]], reads Ultron's mind, [[TwinTelepathy instantly feels when her brother dies]] and mentally influences the civilians en masse to make them leave a war zone), -- and very strong [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]], including the ability to lift and rapidly move heavy objects, [[NotQuiteFlight propel herself into flight]], create protective shields (in ''Age of Ultron''), emit destructive blasts, bursts (after Quicksilver's death in ''Age of Ultron'') and beams (in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'') of energy, and immobilize and lift people (even someone as strong as Thanos, in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''). In ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]] allows her to perform GrandTheftMe on her [[AlternateSelf variants]] across TheMultiverse, as well as seemingly some reality-altering powers (such as [[WipeThatSmileOffYourFace removing Black Bolt's mouth]] in the same film or turning Mr. Fantastic into slices and [[YourHeadAsplode exploding his head]]). All her spells are colored red.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' has some psychic powers going on. Nicodemus is clearly shown to have at least low-level telekinetic abilities (it is never openly stated where they came from, but is implied that his research and knowledge went way beyond the scientific knowledge of the other rats) and at the end of the movie [[spoiler:Mrs. Brisby's Gemstone Necklace activates, and she's able to move a cinder block hundreds of times her weight several feet.]]

* Plenty members of the cast in ''Bloodbeat'' have psychic powers, including the killer glowing ghost samurai.

* ''Film/GreenLantern'' has Hector Hammond, who's [[TouchedByVorlons granted phenomenal psychic powers]] by [[EldritchAbomination Parallex]], at the [[EvilCripple cost of his physical body]].

* In ''Film/SplitSecond'', cop Harley Stone has a mysterious psychic connection to the killer; he can predict where he first strikes upon his return and sense his presence by hearing the killer's beating heart. His partner Dick Durkin thinks it's because he's a Scorpio.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'': Mewtwo displays extremely potent psychic abilities of all kinds. Its [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] can [[WeatherManipulation whip up a huge storm]], repel all forms of attack, and carry dozens of Pokémon (some of which are quite heavy) at a time. It overpowers an Alakazam, which are known for their immense psychic power, in a psychic battle while at Giovanni's gym. It speaks to others {{telepath|y}}ically, and can [[MeatPuppet suppress people's minds to make them do its bidding and speak through them]]. It's also able to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erase events from people's memories]] and [[{{Teleportation}} teleport them]] back to where they were before they arrived on the island. Mew displays great psychic power in its limited screen time, as well, when it fights evenly with Mewtwo.

* The lame superhero film ''Film/{{Zoom}}'' has a [[HeroesWantRedheads hot red-headed]] telekinetic teen (hmm, [[ComicBook/XMen where did they get that idea?]]) and the {{Invisible}} Man also develops "mindsight".

* The titular [[CrushKillDestroy killer robot]] of ''Film/{{ROTOR}}'' has "sensor recall", meaning it can look at a scene and see events from the past.

** Movers are telekinetic.

* In ''Film/{{Powder}}'', introverted and [[BullyingADragon put-upon]] small-town [[HeroicAlbino albino]] Jeremy Reed has a [[SuperpowerLottery healthy variety of psychic talents]].

* Creator/LennyAbrahamson's ''Literature/TheLittleStranger'' centers on an OldDarkHouse that is rumored to be haunted. It is speculated that a poltergeist — possibly created by a living (telekinetic) person — is responsible for all the eerie happenings. The original novel never clarifies the matter, but the film reveals that [[spoiler:the protagonist, Dr. Faraday]], has nonconscious telekinetic powers that manifest themselves as a malevolent poltergeist inside the mansion.
