HORROR AND PSYCHO MOVIES
This will be a horror and psychological thrillers filled list, and also I'll add few movies that just unsettled or disturbed me. Also, you'll probably find few movies that are not pure horror or thrillers, but a mix of different genres, and I tossed in some series and mini-series as well. I wanted this list to have movies from 80's 'till today, but had to make exception of few movies from 70's. List is constantly updated. So, here it is in no particular order:

- DirectorBryan BertinoStarsScott SpeedmanLiv TylerGemma WardA young couple staying in an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants.Not much of a story,but it's disturbing and unsettling movie...very similar to vacancy...I loved the "no motive" angle of it...which is probably why this movie succeeds...

- DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsJonathan D. MellorManuela VelascoÓscar ZafraIn order to ascertain the current situation inside, a supposed medical officer and a GEO team step into the quarantined and ill-fated apartment building.Maybe even better than the first one...flows more smoothly...2 more to go...hope they don't ruin them ( just watched "rec3 genesis" and it was a major disappointment,a truly horrible movie,so only one more to go and hope they don't *beep* it up like the last one.. )
- DirectorIsidro OrtizStarsJunio ValverdeFrancesc OrellaMar SodupeSanti, a young high-school student with a serious physical reaction to sunlight, is forced by his health to move with his single mother to a shadowy, isolated village in the mountains of Spain where the inhabitants begin to reveal themselves as strangely xenophobic. When terrible, violent events begin to occur, Santi becomes first a pariah at school and then strongly suspected by the police of hideous murders. Santi himself, however, wonders if he is not the next victim.An unusual,slow burner which you'll either love or hate...
- DirectorBill PaxtonStarsBill PaxtonMatthew McConaugheyPowers BootheA mysterious man arrives at the offices of an FBI agent and recounts his childhood: how his religious fanatic father received visions telling him to destroy people who were in fact "demons."One of my favorite movies...I can't praise this movie enough...probably one of the lesser known gems...if you haven't watched it,do yourself a favor and watch it as soon as possible!
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Great take on "zombie" genre,although it tends to drag a little at places...
- DirectorJuan Carlos FresnadilloStarsJeremy RennerRose ByrneRobert CarlyleSix months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes according to plan.I like this one better probably because it's much faster and adrenaline pumped movie that rarely lets go...
- DirectorDavid BrucknerDan BushJacob GentryStarsAnessa RamseyJustin WelbornScott PoythressA horror film told in three parts, from three perspectives, in which a mysterious transmission that turns people into killers invades every cell phone, radio, and television.A fun movie on the whole,but very uneven quality of stories...
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigKaren BlackBill MoseleyTwo young couples traveling across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends of murder end up as prisoners of a bizarre and sadistic backwater family of serial killers.Not much of a story,but disturbing and gory movie and you have to watch this first if you plan on watching Devil's rejects...
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigSheri Moon ZombieBill MoseleyThe murderous, backwoods Firefly family take to the road to escape the vengeful Sheriff Wydell, who is not afraid of being as ruthless as his target.Much better than house of 1000 corpses...psychotic and fun
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsJeffrey CombsBruce AbbottBarbara CramptonAfter an odd new medical student arrives on campus, a dedicated local and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue.You don't have to be Lovecraft fan to enjoy this movie...the sequels are OK too...
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsMena SuvariStephen ReaRussell HornsbyA young woman commits a hit-and-run, then finds her fate tied to her victim.Great Stuart Gordon movie...not a horror...
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsChris McKennaKari WuhrerGeorge WendtA young drifter discovers his true calling when he's hired by a mobster to stalk and kill a prominent accountant, and then decides to seek revenge when the stingy thugs try to kill him rather than pay him.Psychological thriller with few horror elements...fun Stuart Gordon movie...
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsEzra GoddenFrancisco RabalRaquel MeroñoA boating accident runs a young man and woman ashore in a decrepit Spanish fishing town which they discover is in the grips of an ancient sea god and its monstrous half human offspring.Another Stuart Gordon Lovecraft adaptation...I like it
- DirectorDan O'BannonStarsJohn TerryJane SibbettChris SarandonCharles Dexter Ward's wife enlists the help of a private detective to find out what her husband is up to in a remote cabin owned by his family for centuries.Great effects for the time and still effective,b movie obviously,the acting is a little wooden,but overall OK movie...
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJennifer O'NeillStephen LackPatrick McGoohanA scientist trains a man with an advanced telepathic ability called "scanning" to stop a dangerous Scanner with extraordinary psychic powers from waging war against non scanners.You gotta love early Cronenberg...skip the sequels...
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJames WoodsDebbie HarrySonja SmitsA programmer at a Toronto TV station that specializes in adult entertainment searches for the producers of a dangerous and bizarre broadcast.The beginnings of Cronenberg's obsession with flesh and technology start here...although a little outdated movie...it's the idea that counts...and it's still a great movie
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsChristopher WalkenBrooke AdamsTom SkerrittA man awakens from a coma to discover he has a psychic ability to foresee future events.Another Cronenberg goodie...and adaptation of Stephen King novel.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJeff GoldblumGeena DavisJohn GetzA brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.Although technically a remake,Cronenberg has made this movie into his own,and made everyone forget about the original,same as Carpenter with The Thing.Great role for Jeff Goldblum...of course you don't need to see the sequel...
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsPeter WellerJudy DavisIan HolmAfter developing an addiction to the substance he uses to kill bugs, an exterminator accidentally kills his wife and becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in a port town in North Africa.A very trippy movie,( adaptation of Burroughs novel ) which is different with every viewing and a further development of Cronenberg's obsession with flesh and technology ( metal ) which culminates in Crash.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJude LawJennifer Jason LeighIan HolmA game designer on the run from assassins must play her latest virtual reality creation with a marketing trainee to determine if the game has been damaged.Not a masterpiece for sure,but not a bad movie either and certainly one of the most underrated movies IMO.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsTimothy HuttonAmy MadiganMichael RookerA writer's fictional alter ego wants to take over his life...at any price.Another Stephen King adaptation...this time by George Romero.More a psychological mystery-thriller than horror,this is a slow-burner which is weak at some places,but overall a good movie and I still think that Timothy Hutton should be a bigger name than he is today...
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsDavid HemmingsDaria NicolodiGabriele LaviaA jazz pianist and a wisecracking journalist are pulled into a complex web of mystery after the former witnesses the brutal murder of a psychic.Can't have a list without giallo and master Dario Argento.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJessica HarperStefania CasiniFlavio BucciAn American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.Probably one of the movies with the greatest surreal and creepy atmosphere...
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsLeigh McCloskeyIrene MiracleEleonora GiorgiAn American student investigates the disappearance of his sister and the death of a friend, both connected from New York to Rome by an old alchemy book.A semi sequel to suspiria...and a second part of mother trilogy which Argento completes 27 years later with a disastrous Mother of tears...
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJennifer ConnellyDonald PleasenceDaria NicolodiA young girl who has an amazing ability to communicate with insects is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability might help solve a string of murders.Remember it was a good movie,but I'll have to revisit it these days...
- DirectorAndrzej ZulawskiStarsIsabelle AdjaniSam NeillMargit CarstensenA woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.A slow burner and a thinking's man movie.Nobody does insanity like Isabelle Adjani,she's intimidating and beautiful at the same time...
- DirectorJee-woon KimStarsLee Byung-hunChoi Min-sikJeon Gook-hwanA secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases.Sick,twisted and gory fun in this movie about serial killers and revenge by one of my favorite Korean directors.Be sure to also check out "A bittersweet life".
- DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongAfter being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days.Still the best of the revenge trilogy and god-forbid american remake which I hope never happens...Well it's happening,unfortunately whether I like it or not...damn
- DirectorDon CoscarelliStarsA. Michael BaldwinBill ThornburyReggie BannisterA teenage boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber, known only as the Tall Man, who employs a lethal arsenal of unearthly weapons.A cliche ridden surreal fantasy-horror,fun,shot with low budget,but still great...( just watched all the sequels recently,and for me the original and the 4th one are the best,2nd and 3rd are really messy and *beep* ) - love beastmaster also for what it is...they don't make them like that anymore...sigh
- DirectorDon CoscarelliStarsBruce CampbellOssie DavisBob IvyWhen residents of their nursing home start dying of dubious causes, an aged Elvis and an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy discover that the perpetrator is an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.A riot of a movie...probably Coscarelli's best one..
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsDavid CarusoStephen GevedonPaul GuilfoyleTensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.Psycho-thriller slow-burner with great atmosphere that explodes at the end...
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsChristian BaleJennifer Jason LeighAitana Sánchez-GijónAn industrial worker who hasn't slept in a year begins to doubt his own sanity.I liked it...but it's an acquired taste probably...
- DirectorJean-Baptiste AndreaFabrice CanepaStarsRay WiseLin ShayeMick CainChristmas Eve. On his way to his in-laws with his family, Frank Harrington decides to try a shortcut, for the first time in 20 years. It turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life.Movie with great atmosphere and great ending
- DirectorDave PayneStarsDevon GummersallDerek RichardsonTina IllmanStrangers trapped at an eerie travel oasis in the desert must unravel the mystery behind their visions of dying people while they are preyed upon by a decaying creature.Despite low grade and few cliches,this is a good horror movie with good twist ending...but the only thing that's stops it from being better and more original is exactly the ending as it is the same twist like DEAD END ( above ),which did that two years before this one...
- DirectorDavid KoeppStarsKevin BaconZachary David CopeKathryn ErbeAfter being hypnotized by his sister-in-law, a man begins seeing haunting visions of a girl's ghost and a mystery begins to unfold around him.Nice thriller-horror-mystery which would've been weaker if someone else was in it instead of Kevin Bacon...
- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsMelissa GeorgeJoshua McIvorJack TaylorFive friends set sail and their yacht is overturned by a strange and sudden storm. A mysterious ship arrives to rescue them, and what happens next cannot be explained.People would probably say that this is over-hyped movie,but I love it and I love Melisa George so it's here...
- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsDanny DyerLaura HarrisTim McInnernyDuring a team-building retreat in the mountains a group of sales representatives are hunted down one by one.Incredibly fun flick...
- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsEddie RedmayneSean BeanCarice van HoutenSet during the time of the first outbreak of bubonic plague in England, a young monk is given the task of learning the truth about reports of people being brought back to life in a small village.Really liked it...Sean Bean should play knights forever...and Cristopher Smith is definitely a director to watch for...
- DirectorDavid TwohyStarsBruce GreenwoodDavid CrowMatthew DavisStrange happenings occur on a WW II submarine.A forgotten David Twohy movie which is really solid,yes it's slow...but it's also very claustrophobic and eerie...
- DirectorMaurice DevereauxStarsIlona ElkinNicolas WrightNeil NapierKaren boards a late-night train and fights with several other passengers to survive a murderous night after becoming trapped in a tunnel.Has really great moments,but started to loose itself down the road,so definitely not an essential watch,but it's a solid flick...
- DirectorDavid SladeStarsPatrick WilsonElliot PageSandra OhHayley's a smart, charming teenage girl. Jeff's a handsome, smooth fashion photographer. An Internet chat, a coffee shop meet-up, an impromptu fashion shoot back at Jeff's place. Jeff thinks it's his lucky night. He's in for a surprise.Not a horror movie,but a disturbing movie in any way...Probably one of the best roles for Ellen Page...
- DirectorJohn GulagerStarsNavi RawatKrista AllenBalthazar GettyPatrons locked inside a bar are forced to fight monsters.Very fun movie...sequels are way out there...just switch your brain to off and enjoy
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsChris MessinaCaroline DhavernasBokeem WoodbineA group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them.A really solid flick which many people hated and didn't want to watch because of Shyamalan's involvement...
- DirectorChristian AlvartStarsNorman ReedusChristian von AsterAndré HennickeWanted for a long time, serial killer Gabriel Engel gets arrested in a spectacular police raid. Small town cop Michael Martens travels to the big city to interrogate him and finds out more than he is looking for.German ''silence of the lambs''
- DirectorBruce McDonaldStarsStephen McHattieLisa HouleGeorgina ReillyA radio host interprets the possible outbreak of a deadly virus which infects the small Ontario town he is stationed in.Great example that you don't need a budget,don't need to show anything if you have an interesting story ( another example is The man from earth ).Stephen McHattie is great here.Heard they're making a sequel...
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsBruce WillisHaley Joel OsmentToni ColletteMalcolm Crowe, a child psychologist, starts treating a young boy, Cole, who encounters dead people and convinces him to help them. In turn, Cole helps Malcolm reconcile with his estranged wife.Love or hate M. Night Shyamalan you can't deny that this is a great movie...
- DirectorJoe DanteStarsDee WallacePatrick MacneeDennis DuganAfter a bizarre and near deadly encounter with a serial killer, a television newswoman is sent to a remote mountain resort whose residents may not be what they seem.Still a classic and still holds well to this day.Never watched sequels and probably never will...
- DirectorJohn FawcettStarsEmily PerkinsKatharine IsabelleKris LemcheTwo death-obsessed sisters, outcasts in their suburban neighborhood, must deal with the tragic consequences when one of them is bitten by a deadly werewolf.Since we're in a werewolf territory this film also comes to mind...but of course is much more than just another werewolf movie...
- DirectorBrett SullivanStarsEmily PerkinsBrendan FletcherKatharine IsabelleGinger's sister Brigitte, now a werewolf herself, must try to find a cure for her blood lust before the next full moon while hiding out in a rehab clinic from a relentless werewolf.A rare sequel that works and also feels very original.A very different beast compared to the first one.The third movie ( or 0 - prequel ) has few good moments,but overall is a mess,though I wouldn't mind seeing another Ginger Snaps flick...
- DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsNicole KidmanChristopher EcclestonFionnula FlanaganIn 1945, immediately following the end of Second World War, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate in the Channel Islands becomes convinced that the home is haunted.More of a drama-mystery than horror,but all in all a good movie...
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsMarisa ParedesEduardo NoriegaFederico LuppiAfter Carlos - a 12-year-old whose father has died in the Spanish Civil War - arrives at an ominous boys' orphanage, he discovers the school is haunted and has many dark secrets which he must uncover.Watch it...that's all
- DirectorJ.A. BayonaStarsBelén RuedaFernando CayoRoger PríncepA woman brings her family back to her childhood home, which used to be an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend.Some will say overrated,some will say slow,some will say boring...I don't know...yes it's slow,but I don't have any problems with slow burners...and this is a good movie...
- DirectorE. Elias MerhigeStarsJohn MalkovichWillem DafoeUdo KierThe filming of Nosferatu (1922) is hampered by the fact that its star Max Schreck is taking the role of a vampire far more seriously than seems humanly possible.Great take on the Nosferatu movie and Willem Dafoe is excellent in this one.
- DirectorDavid SladeStarsJosh HartnettMelissa GeorgeDanny HustonAfter an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.Loved the comic,liked the movie despite the fact that I don't like Josh Harnett.The thing people probably like most about this movie is that vampires are not portrayed as puss**s like in Twilight or True blood...A sequel is not that bad,but you don't lose anything if you don't watch it...
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsGary OldmanWinona RyderAnthony HopkinsThe centuries old vampire Count Dracula comes to England to seduce his barrister Jonathan Harker's fiancée Mina Murray and inflict havoc in the foreign land.Still the most easily watched and best version...
- DirectorLucky McKeeStarsAngela BettisJeremy SistoAnna FarisA socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and obsession with perfection descends into depravity after developing a crush on a boy with perfect hands.A slow,but disturbing movie.McKee is a good director ( be sure to check The Woman and Red ) and Angela Bettis is great here...
- StarsRichard ThomasTim ReidAnnette O'TooleIn 1960, seven pre-teen outcasts fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the demon once and for all when it returns to their hometown.I watched this first when i was 10 years old...and I nearly crapped my pants ( I mean what can be scarier to kid than a evil psycho clown? ).Then watched it 3 years ago ( when I was 25 ) and I found it laughable and also very outdated...this hasn't aged well...
- DirectorJim MickleStarsConnor PaoloNick DamiciKelly McGillisIn a world of vampires, an expert vampire hunter and his young protégé travel toward sanctuary.Another slow one,actually more drama and character piece than horror,I really enjoyed it...If you've liked this one avoid it's sequel " Stakelander " like a plague, believe me...
- DirectorTommy WirkolaStarsJeppe Beck LaursenCharlotte FrognerJenny SkavlanA ski vacation turns horrific for a group of medical students, as they find themselves confronted by an unimaginable menace: Nazi zombies.A very fun nazi-zombie movie...
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherTwo American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.I know that many people will probably say that I'm crazy,but this for me is just a good movie and not a masterpiece like everyone says it is...
- DirectorSebastian GutierrezStarsRufus SewellCarla GuginoJim PiddockIn Ireland, two carnies abduct a mermaid and decide to take her to America. In their sea route, the seductive and mysterious creature reveals an uncontrollable darker side.I'm always going to be surprised that this has such a low score and the fact that this is a TV movie.My only regret is that Gutierrez never finished this planned trilogy...
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.I remember that this one was definitely one of the scariest horror movies that I saw when I was a kid...
- DirectorWes CravenStarsBill PullmanCathy TysonZakes MokaeAn anthropologist goes to Haiti after hearing rumors about a drug used by black magic practitioners to turn people into zombies.Nice voodoo "zombie" movie...
- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.you gotta admit that this was a fun movie back then...I'm not going to comment on all the sequels...
- DirectorJames WanStarsCary ElwesLeigh WhannellDanny GloverTwo strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, and soon discover they're pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.Torture flick pioneer ( at least to U.S. ) and at the time fresh movie...same goes as scream for the sequels...
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsSissy SpacekPiper LaurieAmy IrvingCarrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.De Palma classic and another successful Stephen King adaptation.
- DirectorEric RedStarsMariel HemingwayMichael ParéMason GambleAfter being bitten by a werewolf in the jungle, Ted looks for a cure. His lawyer sister, with a son and dog, invites him to park his camper by her house in the woods and live out of her fridge.Book is probably better...but anyway this is not a bad movie,transformation scenes are great and I'll always be amazed how they trained that dog...lol...
- StarsGary SiniseMolly RingwaldJamey SheridanAfter a deadly plague kills most of the world's population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a malevolent being - to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.Probably the only quality thing that Mick Garris did in his entire career.Not perfect,( well at least compared to book ) but good and fun mini-series.They're trying to make a new and more faithful adaptation for years now...but nothing happening there
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsLaurence FishburneSam NeillKathleen QuinlanA rescue crew is tasked with investigating the mysterious reappearance of a spaceship that had been lost for seven years.Hell in space.Probably Anderson's best movie.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsAdrienne BarbeauJamie Lee CurtisJanet LeighAn unearthly fog rolls into a small coastal town exactly 100 years after a ship mysteriously sank in its waters.An OK Carpenter horror,haven't watched it in ages...have to check how it holds today.( just in case you're wondering why Halloween isn't on this list - that movie didn't do anything for me,so... )
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.A masterpiece...avoid prequel
