Psychological Horror

[delbertgrady]

Just a suggestion, a show could be done with a round up of various titles with an emphasis on psychological horror. A few suggestions:
1990-Jacob's Ladder
1972-Robert Altman's Images
2005-Norwegian film Next Door
2006-William Friedkin's Bug
1940-Hitchcock's Rebecca
2000-Aranofsky's Requim for a Dream
1987-Angel Heart
2004-The Machinist
1980-The Shining
Notoriousbfg suggested Don't Look Now in another thread, it would fit this genre. I'm sure there are other good choices as well.

What is Angel Heart like? Seeing it mentioned in a post has reminded me that someone lent me a DVD of it ages ago and I still haven't got round to watching it... worth a watch?

Angel Heart is more of a mystery/thriller, but there are dashes of horror in it. Mickey Rourke was good as the lead, you follow him as his private eye character is hired by Robert de Niro to find someone who owes him a debt. As Rourke tries to track him down, bodies start to turn up, and elements of voodoo start to come into play. I really enjoyed the movie.

I'll speak up for Angel Heart; it's maybe more a modern noir than straight horror, but has plenty to please the horror fan.
