r/horror on Reddit: Psychological horror recommendations?
May 2, 2022 -
I love things like The Thing, Shutter, Oculus, Skeleton Key, any and all Evil Dead films (apart from the new one) also love slashers like the OG Scream + Halloween. I love getting mind fucked and appreciate a twist. Also love when a movie has an unhappy ending.
I don’t like gore porn/shock horror. If it’s gore filled just for the sake of being, it’s ick to me. Things like Terrifyer is not scary at all to me. It’s entertaining but not scary. I spit on your grave is another example.
Any suggestions? Old or new. Looking for new things to watch! :)

May 2, 2022Looking for the scariest psychological horror movies you can think of
I would personally recommend The Invitation (the 2015 movie -- not the 2022 one, although the 2022 movie, which is unrelated to 2015 movie, is entertaining). It's a great example of extremely simple but brilliant storytelling. The characters are wonderful. The acting is great. Same goes for the writing and directing. You get some queer representation. The story is familiar, as all stories sort of are, but The Invitation tackles a familiar situation in a way that feels fresh. It plays with your mind a bit as you try to figure out what's going on. It's debatably arthouse, which I'm suuuuuuuper allergic to, but it never feels look-at-how-smart-and-artsy-and-weird-we-are-for-the-sake-of-being-smart-and-artsy-and-weird. Also, the ending is an absolute stunner. No spoilers, of course, but the last few shots are just so delightful and rewarding. They elevate an already outstanding movie. I can't really say anything more about those final shots without ruining your experience, but it's... It's great, dude. I love this movie more and more each time I watch it. I just showed it to my boyfriend and he was blown away. It's the kind of movie that sticks with you for a long time. At least, it's stuck with me over the years. Lots of pathos. Lots of mindfuckery. And lots of follow through. So, yeah. Can't recommend it enough. I love a story that puts characters first, and this movie certainly does that. The emotions hit you like a ton of bricks. It's just so wonderfully executed. I could go on and on about it. Blah-blah-blah... I think it's a winner. Check it out, if you want to. If you do, reply to this comment and let me know what you think! Cheers. More on reddit.com

1 week ago - Additionally, the replacement of soundtracks with sound effects highlights the role of noise in the plot of movies, such as A Quiet Place, where the blind extraterrestrial monsters are programmed to attack noise sources. The novels The Golem written by Gustav Meyrink, The Silence of the Lambs written by Thomas Harris, Robert Bloch novels such as Psycho and American Gothic, Stephen King novels such as Carrie, Misery, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, The Shining, and Koji Suzuki's novel Ring are some examples of psychological horror.
