Hey there. A while back, I found a somethingawful.com thread with a load of great psychological horror films, and I rediscovered my love of weird movies. The thread is closed now, so I figured I would give back a bit, by posting summaries and reviews of some of my favorite movies.
The emphasis of this post is on mind-bending psychological horror/thriller, with a particular point to avoid senseless gore and torture that is all too common in horror movies. A post for films that use slow, creeping tension to produce spine-tingling discomfort and horror. Also, Psychological Sci Fi is welcome as well.
Please open up this thread, take a look at some movies and tell me what you think!
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
“Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.”
Nothing is more touching than the romance of two children too young to understand what romance is. Oscar and Eli make an adorable, awkward pair in this surprisingly dark and touching film about abuse, compassion and sacrifice. Make sure you watch “Let the Right One In” and not “Let Me In”, the bastardized American version.
