I think it's a remake of an extremley old movie from like 1950, but the remake itself is like thirty years old.Greyfox105 said:
Yep, you might want to try out Saw 1, 2 and 3, they are to some degree psychological horror movies. And also, the story is really well worked out, and you can expect a plot twist at the ending of every movie, and it's explained to you through flashbacks to earlier scenes, to which you didn't pay much attention, but were of crucial importance, all while playing the same catchy tune at the end of all movies. But the plot twists are so unbelievable, that when the movies ended I was so dumbfounded, all I could do was smile and applaud to the brilliance of the people who made the movie.phoenixlink said:
Now, the psychological aspect of these movies is focusing more on the victims, than you, because they're in these sick traps, and they have to get out doing something that hurts them, emotionally scars them and really just mindfucks with them.
The psychological horror for the viewer, is that Jigsaw (the killer) may be just right. He's teaching people to respect life, to live life, not to just sit in their basement playing videogames (j/k), and most important of all, he's fair. When he says "I want to play a game" if you play by the rules, you win, but if you try to bend or break the rules, game over. Trust me, you'll know what I mean when you watch Saw II. But what really stood with me from these movies was that they were realistic, same with silence of the lambs, there are no monsters, just one brilliant psychotic killer manipulating everyone, even though they think that they have the upper hand on him, this could happen in real life.
The first remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The Donald Sutherland one. It just creeps me right the hell out. And Kap up there is right about Session 9. I'll just add that it served as an inspiration for Silent Hill.
Yes, you magnificent ninja! Welcome to the Escapist!Enkiduyo said:
My personal favorite had a story that mindfucked you the whole time... with a concept that could have turned into "Kizz saves christmas"
I am talking about the 10/10 mindfuck horror movie of all time... Darkfloors. A movie where the monsters don't play a huge role despite them being the idea guys for the movie AND those guys being the band members of Lordi. The characters are generic, but are written so well and just mesh so perfectly you can't help but wait for some to die, and dread knowing others will eventually go. With twists and tuns that would make an abstract painter flush with envy, this movie is my top pic.
Dark Floors.
Though if you are going down the more traditional suspense slasher movie... Try the foreign film "Anatomy" Mortionists, secret anti-doctor's cult, and being turned into medical teaching tools.. it's awesome aswell

*Feels his brain melt as saw is being refered to in this thread as psychological horror.. well written.. and something BESIDES just a gore fest movie..*
I'd recommend The Changeling, which is a much older movie, but which caused a friend of mine to snap and start laughing hysterically half way through. We had to pause so she could take a break and put her brain back together.
And I second Session 9, it was also very good.

Se7en.
That's it. Period. Go off and watch it RIGHT NOW. And after you're done, check out Fincher's other films. Almost all of them are at least worth watching. The Game is probably his best, then Se7en and Fight Club.

I saw that. The old man has received a fair amount of exposure in South Park.Vrex360 said:
That said, there's a scene from Se7en that's far scarier than anything in Pet Sematary. It's so scary that a verbal description of what happened is all they give the audience, and it STILL scares the crap out of me.
Sorry to go slightly off topic, but I don't suppose you guys know whether the PS2 game version of it was any good? I thinks its a sequel.Shoes said:
I'm gonna say the grudge and the first Chucky (haven't seen it in awhile, but watched it with my dad when I was seven, phobia of dolls since)
I would humbly suggest the 1997 Canadian film "Cube." I wouldn't wanna give too much away, but it's dark, brooding, and suspenseful.
