r/horror on Reddit: Psychological horror recommendations?
April 26, 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! :)

15 Bleak As Hell Horror Movies That Will Ruin Your Day
1 month ago - We're sure we don't have to warn you that European horror goes hard, but Calvaire‘s cruelty pushes the envelope, with Marc being put through, as the American title more than makes obvious, an ordeal at the hands of both the muddy, murky wilderness and those who inhabit it. ... Rose Glass' Saint Maud probably wins the award for most traumatizing final 0.01 seconds of a movie ever made, but the rest of the film isn't exactly all fun and games either. In the 2019 psychological horror, Morfydd Clark plays Maud, a deeply religious yet troubled nurse who is assigned to provide palliative care for Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), a staunch atheist who has lived her life in total opposition to the modest values Maud holds.
