Session 9 is best watched alone, in the dark, late at night with your feet on the couch to avoid anything grabbing you.

[@jamescrowley8598]

I really enjoyed it

[@ArcherSuh4721]

DO IT, GORDON!

[@angelofchaos8233]

Loved that one I suggested it to a guy wanting to watch horror movies, on the radio.

[@marcelfigueroa2449]

As is most horror films

[@spoiledlovely]

FALSE..feet on the couch can still be grabbed. They must be underneath the covers in bed for guaranteed safety.

I was literally about to post the same thing. She has one of the most pleasant voices of any presenter on any channel. Also her speaking pace is perfect.

@@Shade23 it's just so heavenly. The way she says certain words. I could listen to her read a dictionary and it would keep me interested.

The Innocents is definitely deserving of number one on this list. I was entranced by the movie when I first found it.

[@thetasigma5835]

I've literally seen hundreds of all kinds of horror movies but Innocents was one of the scariest, it literally gave me goosebumps. No jump scares, no CGI, just pure 'gets under your skin' sense of dread.

[@emthatyourefuse2494]

*The Blackcoat's Daughter* effectively destroyed me emotionally for a solid 24 hours following the end credits. I'm thrilled to see it on the list.

Good to finally see Amy presenting to camera. Brilliantly written article with some lovely surprising additions to the list. Fantastic. More please

[@kdynce8637]

I totally forgot about Coherence after watching it, but seeing it on this list caused it to flood back. I definitely enjoyed it, so it's one of those weird movies that seems somewhat ethereal due to the strange circumstances during the runtime. Highly recommend it!

[@ashh4929]

The movieT he Skin I live in with Antonio Banderas is such a great mind f**k. Definitely an understated psychological thriller.

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

I think psychological horror is my favorite. Our minds can torment us the most because they are the one thing we can never truly escape from.

[@ashemarlow6471]

That "A mother moves her family from London to Maine and then promptly kicks the bucket" made me laugh

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

You forgot to mention the most interesting part about _Unsane_ that Soderbergh filmed it entirely on an iPhone 7 Plus. (That must have saved a lot of money.)

[@zaidb4296]

I was wondering why it had that weird aspect ratio

Back in the day, I fell in love with Anthony Hopkins.

[@Kaybug150]

"Daniel Isn't Real" is actually one of my most favorite movies ever. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but I loved everything up until then. I got mildly obsessed with it after watching it the first time, and even put together my own soundtrack for it. :P

[@Terri_MacKay]

Not only have I heard of all of them, but I've seen most of them except for The Blackcoat's Daughter and Coherence. Session 9 is one of my favourite movies in any genre. It is absolutely terrifying, and gets no less scary on repeat viewings. It's a classic, and I think that most horror fans know about it, even if they haven't seen it.

[@mybraineatseverything7404]

A film no one talks about it is "Pacific Heights." Talk about a nightmare tenant! Just creepy, unnerving, and possible in reality. Made me 100% sure I NEVER want to be a landlord!!! "Session 9" is great!!!

[@EpsilonXero]

Same here, but I'm a bit of a seeker in this genre. I know that casual watchers haven't heard of half, or more, of these.

[@DrKryoDrage]

We used the movie 'The Tennant' in our psychosis class for studying/understanding a psychotic outburst from a psychoanalytical perspective. It seems the movie is really made under these premise.

[@dorkspectre]

Daniel Isn't Real is such a good film and I want more people to know about it. The book its based off of is just as good, just different, but there's a part toward the end that really gets under your skin.

[@TheDeconstructivist]

Wow! You lived up to the title! I had only heard of 3 off of this list (Unsane, Magic, and The Innocents) and only have seen one (The Innocents, which I do strongly recommend). I also really appreciate you talking about the premises without really spoiling anything. Great video, Amy! :D

[@roxyhart5692]

I love that you included Coherence! It's great! Also Session 9, me and my brother used to obsess over it, haha. There's an unintentionally hilarious scene in it that always makes us laugh in the middle of the seriousness. It's really a great film!

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Lol. At the EXACT moment Coherence was mentioned in the video, I read it in your comment😆

[@starlynncline4331]

Marrowbone and the blackcoats daughter are amazing. The twists are great. Marrowbone especially is good because the twist just breaks your heart in a good way

[@MikefromTexas1]

Session 9 is a classic.

[@deco2gogo]

Here's a list of my favorite underrated creepy psychological -and mostly paranormal- horror movies: The Borderlands (2013) Lake Mungo (2008) Aterrados (Terrified) (2017 Argentina) The Demonic Tapes (2017) The Witch in the Window (2018) The Dead Room (2015) Uninhabited (2010) The Burrowers (2008) Fairytale aka The Haunting of Helena (2012) KM 31: Kilometre 31 (2006 Spain) ' The Abandoned (2006) I hope I haven't repeated too many from your previous lists, but I think they deserve some love. Some of these movies (like "The Borderlands") scare me so badly that I can't watch them alone, and even that doesn't always help! I have quite a few more, but I didn't want to make my list too long... and don't even get me started on Asian horror, or the list would never end. Hope you find some gems in here!

[@constantine7862]

Lake Mungo is really cool... I have The Borderlands downloaded but haven't seen it yet. Have you seen The Sacrament?

[@LucasAscoli1]

Just finished watching Marrowbone after this video and it has instantly become one my favorite horror movies of all times. Thank you so much for recommending it :)

[@thatchillingeffect]

Unsane is amazing and Claire Foy's performance is really underrated. I personally didn't like Session 9, but I get why people like it that much.

[@jammotheorphan]

Session 9 and Blackcoat’s Daughter are two of my favourite horror movies

[@myozbubble]

Mia Farrow played in 2 good ones from the past that I really liked, especially when I was a kid: See No Evil and The Haunting of Julia.

[@khadijahshepherd4588]

Magic TERRIFIED me as a child. I have NEVER liked movies with puppets after that. Ps I do LOVE Amy's voice

Surprised that it wasn't mentioned that William Goldman wrote Magic (both novel and film), considering he also wrote such classics as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Princess Bride.

Awesome, I was just going to order the novel on Amazon, and thinking "just typing 'Magic' will give me a thousand unwanted results." Thank you.

I guess I need to rewatch Session 9 because I didn't like it either, seemed lame and overwrought. Loved Coherence.

[@voiceover2191]

I didn't care much for the the neflix version of The Innocents and consider the 60's movie far superior, not because it was badly done, but I just didn't like any of the characters though some of the performances were good, especially the kids, even though those too in the original movie were better. This contrary to the first season, which was a reintepretation of The Haunting (of Hill House) and considered extremely well done and very worthy compared to the classic masterpiece which is the original movie The Haunting, still unparallelled in my mind in the haunted house genre. The only other one I have seen from this list is Coherence, more by accident than conscious decision and it was ok-ish, but in the end a typical example of a great premise unimaginatively executed. Oh wait, I forgot The Tenant, brilliant, if depressing, movie both starred as well as directed by Roman Polanski, yeah, that Roman Polanski.

[@tidalxwaves9001]

Marrowbone is a genuinely terrifying movie, I saw it in the cinema and I had nightmares about it for a while after

Hilarious how you discussed The Tenant without once mentioning Roman Polanski! (is it not allowed to even mention his name now?) Seeing as he was both the main actor and directed it! Check out the other two films in his apartment trilogy- Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby- both sublime psychological horrors. Decent list- glad Coherence and The Innocents are on it. Try She Dies Tomorrow for a bang up to date gem and for Magic, watch the dummy section of Dead Of Night (1945)- the ultimate dummy psychological horror.
