Joe Dante recommended Rosemary's Baby (1968) in Movies (curated)

"You know, I’d have to give a shout out to Rosemary’s Baby, which is not only a great horror film, but probably the most faithful adaptation of a book that I’ve ever seen on screen. The realistic ambience of New York in the ’60s is so palpable that it makes all of the horror tropes seem much more believable. We have a heroine we can identify with, and are the people around her all witches, or is she imagining it? Once again, there’s always a psychological component to a really good horror film. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a film better directed than Rosemary’s Baby."

Growing Darkness
Gwen- is a really good period folk horror drama that has elements of gothic, supernatural and psycholoigcal horror. Eleanor Worthington Fox and Maxine Peake are really good in this film.

The plot: Desperately trying to hold everything together, young Gwen struggles with her mother's mysterious illness, her father's absence and a ruthless mining company that's encroaching on their land. As a growing darkness begins to take grip, the local community grows suspicious and slowly turns on the beleaguered family.

Its a slow pace film but it does get intresting, intense, supernatural, gothic and psychological overtime. Its a good horror film.

Psychological horror at its best
I had to text the entire time, and fast forward through bits because it is terrifying at points on so many levels.

Gerald and his wife attempt to reignite their marriage by going to a secluded location to play sex games. Unfortunately he leaves her handcuffed while having a heart attack. In between, there are deep psychological traumas and hallucinations, gore, and you wonder what's real as she continues to run out of time.

It's pure Stephen King, mixing real emotions with the downright frightening. That last scene would never have happened but my heart is still racing.

My Personal Opinion
I like Stephen King as an author and have loved everything I have read of his up to this point. For me this book feel short. I'm not a huge fan of psychological horror and that's what this felt like to me. The book was ok enough that I finished it but it isn't one of my favorites.

Bird Box is one of the best horror novels I have ever read. I would gladly recommend to any fan of the genre. What made it so terrifying was the psychological aspect, there's so much left to the imagination, which can be a very scary place. I truly think this is the best book I've read so far this year.
