Stay Home, Watch Horror: 5 Psychological Horror Movies to Stream This Week


This Friday marks the release of not one but two psychological horror movies; The Night and the long-awaited Saint Maud. In anticipation, this week’s streaming picks belong to horror movies that seek to get under your skin by messing with your mind.

Psychological horror movies prey on emotional and mental vulnerabilities to create unease and fear. They often challenge their protagonists to question reality through gaslighting, hallucinations, trauma, or even paranoia induced by claustrophobic or unnatural settings and situations. Sometimes, not much is scarier than being trapped inside your own head.

These five psychological horror movies bring the dread and intensity.

Here’s where you can stream them this week…

I cannot suggest the Night enough fam! Shades of influence from the Shining and other great psychological horror. The hotel setting is still gold in the right hands. I went in on it right after watching, these were my immediate thoughts and a few months later my enthusiasm hasn't waned.

So I started my Nightstream marathon'ing with a film called The Night, mainly off the strength of reading that it's a haunted hotel psychological horror. An Iranian couple with a newborn stop at hotel late one night after drinks with friends and wind up in a place that seems to toy with them through apparitions and experiences.

I really, really liked it fam. The score is all sorts of fantastic (I can't praise it enough) and the aesthetics are great. The characters are fully realized with history and experiences that we learn about first through conversations with friends and then through the ways that they're haunted and how they react to each incident.

The creators were patient, maybe to a fault depending on your taste. It has a lengthy set up portion and the creepiness is a lot more subtle early on. But when things get crazy, it escalates quickly and the tension stays very high almost through the entirety of the experience. This isn't slow burn with no crescendo; it's a slow burn into crescendo after crescendo of intensifying scares and hauntings.

Visually, it's a home run. There are so many memorable images that keep creeping back into my head as I think on the flick. Shots are claustrophobic, the camera moves in ways that add to the discomfort and the performances of the actors are intensified by the camera work.

The movie is a bit on the long side for horror. It's an hour and 44 minutes, predominantly subtitled (the Iranian couple speaks Farsi) but I don't think that's much of an obstacle these days...especially with the horror community. What matters is this ish is written, directed and performed with care. It's really, really good!

And I was that hype before I peeped the Q&A with the director which included some interesting info about the movie. It's the first U.S. produced film to get licensed to play in Iran.

I'm seriously rooting for success for this joint. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think a lot of horror fans will. Add in the cultural relevance and impact it could have and I'm extra hype.

Psycho Goreman was really fun. It had that Troma vibe to it which I loved.

I really want to see a sequel that follows Mimi as she embarks on her career as a future serial killer though because that kid was twisted.

My brother got halfway through it and took a break to run into my room and tell me that it was one for me to go in on. I've got that on my short queue now.
