r/horror on Reddit: Psychological horror recommendations?
May 1, 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! :)

A fever dream of a movie steeped in disturbing poetry and intoxicating imagery, it’s a triumph of design, atmosphere and malevolent intent, with a superlative cast also featuring Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
