Psychological Horror is a subgenre of horror that focuses on creating fear and unease through psychological elements such as suspense, tension, and psychological disturbances rather than relying on graphic violence or jump scares. It often explores themes of the mind, perception, and the human psyche to create an unsettling and disturbing atmosphere for the audience.
Psychological suspense is created by a combination of anticipation and uncertainty. Anticipation keeps the audience engaged and eager to know what will happen next, while uncertainty raises questions and creates tension by withholding information or outcomes.
