Entertaining horror is pretty easy to find, but really good horror could take years to find. I think it takes much longer now, with all those fcking zombie movies still under the 'horror' banner, when there are enough of them these days to be their own genre.

I love psychological horror. If anyone has any recommendations, please do let me know. In exchange, I'll share one or two with you. Yknow what, I'll even give you possibly the best pure horror film Ive ever seen - and since watching horror films to take my mind off my exams, Ive seen a lot.

I am looking at a list of my Top 12 horror films. But Im giving you the very best one, so I'll save the others for further requests. The best horror films, for some reason, are named after shapes. (or tools, but youve seen Saw right?) The shape youre looking for here is a splendid little beast, with three sides and a lot of interest from some ancient Greek boffins. It's a very smart British film, with American characters, and it has possibly the best last line in the genre. The film is simply called Triangle. by Christopher Smith, 2009.

Youll thank me later. So, any psychological horror recommendations people?
