Horror movies

Pi kinda messed me up similar to Jacob’s Ladder 😅😀 worth a watch, imo.

Pi (stylized as π) is a 1998 American conceptual psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky (in his feature directorial debut). Pi was filmed on high-contrast black-and-white reversal film. The title refers to the mathematical constant pi.

The story focuses on a mathematician with an obsession to find underlying complete order in the real world and contrasting two seemingly irreconcilable entities: the imperfect irrationality of humanity and the rigor and regularity of mathematics, specifically number theory. The film explores themes of religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics.

Big fan of The Mist (which is more cosmic than psychological horror, but with the cultish aspect, i feel it still fits), and Cube.

Daniel Isn't Real (2019)

A troubled college freshman, Luke, suffers a violent family trauma. He then resurrects his charismatic childhood imaginary friend Daniel to help him cope, not realizing how dangerous Daniel is.

Some scenes from this movie (Hypnosis session), really messed me up. A very "Eldrich" plot twist.

A semi recent movie in this vein I liked a lot is Possessor.

Misery. That's gotta be up there in terms of psychological horror

Haha. Just watched this for the first time this weekend. Great movie. As for psychological horror....when the evil lurks was another I saw recently. Possum, anti Christ, skinamarink, session 9, caveat was good, but I didn't think it was as psychological as the others.

I'm sure I'll come up with some more. Maybe I'll post them later.

Edit: Terrified wasn't bad (same director as when evil lurks). I didn't find lake Mungo as scary as others, but worth a watch. The dark and wicked was alright.

Triangle (2009)

Don't read about the plot, just check it out.
