Sub-Genre-Psychological

Psychological horrors are a sub-genre of horror films, these particular films rely on the character's emotional instability and fears to create tension for the audience. These films focus a lot of the attention on the protagonist and how they feel, this puts us in their situation and so creates suspense without having to heavily rely on having anything majorly frightening happen. Psychological horrors are usually emphasized situations with scenarios such as kidnapping, home invasion and sexual assault.

These three are very well known psychological horrors The Silence of The Lambs, The Shining and Orphan. If we were to do a psychological horror film then we would look at these three films for inspiration.
