Midsommar (2019):

The slow-burning psychological horror film Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster in 2019, intertwines themes of pain, sorrow, personal development, and the human urge for belonging. The film follows the traumatic journey of its protagonist, Dani (played by Florence Pugh), as she deals with the fallout from severe personal loss, all set against the backdrop of a remote Swedish commune. Midsommar explores psychological trauma and emotional breakdown, even though it is a horror movie in the conventional sense, complete with unnerving violence, odd rituals, and terrible images. Midsommar defies popular horror stereotypes and offers a profoundly complex depiction of human pain and change by exploring loss, loneliness, and the pursuit of meaning in a broken world. One way to interpretDani’s experience in Midsommar is as an investigation of trauma and its impact on the mind, namely the emergence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Throughout the movie, PTSD symptoms appear in a number of significant ways.

Psycho(1960):

Psycho a slow paced psychological thriller film directed by the well known director Alfred Hitchcock. The film had newly introduced techniques, broke conventions, and did not needed buckets of blood to haunt the viewers. I’m inspired with that shower scene as the person brings the knife closer and closer. It received many awards like golden globe award. The tense atmosphere in the film makes it scary and keeps us on the edge of our seats. Norman the antagonist is a dissociative identity disorder. He acts as a protagonist in the entire film but his true face is revealed in the end.
