  6 0 "Let The Right One In", but ensure you get the version labeled with "Theatrical" subtitles -- the subtitles in the initial DVD release were dumbed down in weird ways. It's being remade by the geniuses who brought you Cloverfield, so you have a deadline. If you have a tolerance for chronological entropy, "Primer", and if you like that, "Timecrimes". The protagonists in Primer make fewer terrible decisions. "The Hurt Locker". Netflix reminds me that I liked "The Others", which you will enjoy more the less you know about it. Steven Moffat's six-episode "Jekyll" for BBC is quite good, wish it had been longer. I would also recommend Peter Jackson's early opus, "Bad Taste", though it's less psychological, more gastrological.

  5 0 The first time I saw "The Ring" was truly scary (the American version). Also, the Japanese movie "Audition" is totally nuts. The climax might make you a little squeamish, but it's no gorefest. Valentein answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 3 comments by emily, Gitai Ben-Ammi, and Valentein… 0 0 ...I thought Audition was pretty gory. There were some scenes that I had to leave the room for. Just FYI. emily commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Are you fucking kidding? Audition was one of the most graphically violent things I've ever seen. It was sadistically violent. My friends were closing their eyes. All of us wanted to walk out, but thought the others wanted to stay. It's basically torture porn at the end. Gitai Ben-Ammi commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Oh I had the same reaction, no doubt. Sure the end it torture, but by that point you so vested in the movie that you've got to see how it end. Sadistic, yes, but I don't think it was gory. Ichi the Killer was gory. Of course, I saw Audition years ago so I don't remember everything--just that lady saying "kitty kitty kitty" over and over.

  3 0 The Shining is my all time favorite psychological horror movie. I only saw Stir of Echos once, but I remember it got under my skin. Another vote for the American version of The Ring. Lilting Missive answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by "Cagey" and Vicky Gibbs… 0 0 May I also suggest the American remake of "Solaris" starring George Clooney as a space psychiatrist who discovers it's not good to get everything you've always dreamed of getting! It gets under your skin and creeps you out. It's SO sad and tragic at the same time. "Cagey" commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I didn't find the ring particulary scary but it was good - the other two you put though- defo good choice!!!!!!

  2 0 Here's an oddball thriller: Wait Until Dark. Not a gore fest. No high-tech gimmicks. Scary as Snot. Walter Mellon answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by "Cagey"… 0 0 You are SO right. This was originally a stage play, and they've done a nice job of translating it to the screen. Warning: It feels alittle dated now, with fashions changing, and the emphasis on digital photography and cell phones, but you'll get the beJesus scared out of you as the tension mounts. The climatic scene will have you squirming in your chair, hooked on every shift of power until the end. When we saw it in the theatre, EVERYONE screamed at the same point, until one person broke the spell by screaming out at the screen "STICK HIM SUZY!" (True story.)

  2 0 "The Other" (circa 1972) written by Troy Thomas, I believe. Both the book and the movie are great! "Psycho" (circa 1959) by Alfred Hitchcock. "Vertigo" (circa 1957) by Alfred hitchcock. "Magic" (circa 1984) by William Golden, starring Ann Margret, Athony Hopkins (pre-Silence of the Lambs), Burgess Merideth.
