Insomnia while reading
The story is not out and out horror, it's more psychological and chilling.
About a man who loses his wife and has given up on life but finds reason to live again.
Deeply engaging and twisty turny.
The master of horror strikes again and I defy you to try and put it down.

Not just a good horror movie, a good movie
I Love horror, I am not a diehard Steven King fan, although I did try to tackle the book after seeing this movie. I’m used to jump scares and have always had a pallet for the psychological thriller aspect. But I’m this movie all the nit picky details of what makes horror good fade away because the shots are amazing the child actors are hilarious, endearing, and down to Earth. I’ve never appriciated a movie labeled horror more for its cinematic and story telling qualities.

This psychological horror movie was pretty good. Decent acting and cinematography. The storyline played out well enough, though quite a bit of it was unbelievable. That the kids went along with so much was hard to accept, but the villain was played well. It moved along rather slowly at first but heightened to a pretty intense climax. Overall, for my fellow horror/ thriller fans, this one is worth a watch!

This was an intellectual horror. Andrew Pyper did a good job working Paradise Lost by Milton into this novel. It almost makes me want to read the full text of the poem - but not quite.
If you are looking for a gory horror story, look elsewhere. While this does have a few icky moments, most of it is psychological.
Even after finishing it, I'm still wondering...

The Woman That Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath- is a very underrated psychological horror thriller. Its a very intresting psychological thriller, that will twist your insantity until the very end of the movie. Its only downfall, its somewhat boring and slow, but the acting from both Harrison and Michelle are excellent.
The plot: It had been a year since Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford) betrayed his beautiful wife Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer). But with Claire oblivious to the truth, Norman's life and marriage seem so perfect that when Claire tells him of hearing mysterious voices and seeing a young woman's image in their home, he dismisses her terror as delusion. Claire moves closer to the truth and it becomes clear that this apparition will not be dismissed, and has come back for Dr. Spencer and his beautiful wife.
Like i said its a very underrated psychological horror thriller, that is excellent.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The Gift- is a unique psychological horror film directed by Joel Edgerton. This is Joel's directoral debut and he did a excellent job. Joel also produced it, wrote it and acted in it. I love the psychological espect of this film, and also the twist and turns throught it until the very end of the film.
The plot: When married couple Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) unexpectedly encounter Gordo (Joel Edgerton), an acquaintance from Simon's past, little do they know that their perfect lives will be thrown into a terrifying tailspin. At first, Simon doesn't recognize Gordo, but after a troubling series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts, a horrifying secret emerges. As Robyn learns what really happened between Simon and Gordo, she begins to question how well she knows her spouse.
The Gift is a excellent psychological horror film with twist and turns throught it.

Hallucinations and Flashbacks
Jacob's Ladder- is a really great psychological supernatural horror thriller. Tim Robbins is excellent in this film.
The Plot: After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) struggles to maintain his sanity. Plagued by hallucinations and flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls apart as the world and people around him morph and twist into disturbing images. His girlfriend, Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña), and ex-wife, Sarah (Patricia Kalember), try to help, but to little avail. Even Singer's chiropractor friend, Louis (Danny Aiello), fails to reach him as he descends into madness.
Its also super underrated, not alot of people talk about this film or know about this film. Its a must watch psychological twisted supernatural horror film.
