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! :)

October 30, 2025 - Evil has never been quite so exquisite as in Jack Clayton’s gothic dream of a horror movie, The Innocents (1961). This unsettling adaptation of Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw (1898) is a breathless exercise in economy, brevity, and ambiguity, and perhaps the most perfect model of psychological horror ever put to film.
