Psychological Horror

Psychological horror is a subgenre of horror that focuses on disturbing the audience through mental, emotional, and psychological states rather than overt gore or jump scares. It often explores internal conflicts, unreliable perceptions, and deep-seated fears, making the mind itself the primary source of terror. This genre aims to create a pervasive sense of dread and unease by challenging the audience's grasp of reality and exposing the darker aspects of the human psyche.
