Psychosis

2010 ·1h 29m · ★ 3.6 (46)

A serial killer unleashes his blood lust at a remote environmental-camp. Years later a horror novelist relocates to rural England and is plagued to the point of madness by horrific hauntings of a massacre.

Why it matters

A grim, atmospheric dive into rural terror that blends slasher brutality with psychological hauntings, tapping into isolation-fueled madness.

  • Raw, practical gore effects recall early ’80s slasher grit, grounding the supernatural elements in physical horror.
  • A slow-burn mood piece that channels the uneasy isolation of British folk horror without leaning fully into folklore.
  • For fans of haunted-house paranoia meeting serial-killer slasher brutality—think The Burning meets The Others, with a dash of Sleepy Hollow’s moody mist.
  • Not for those craving tight plotting or polished performances, but a rewarding watch for viewers who appreciate atmosphere over exposition and don’t mind a rough-edged indie vibe.
