Slasher or Psychological

[Beetlejuice]

Do you rather watch a slasher or a psychological horror?

I prefer slasher films but do also enjoy movies like Final Destination.

I love psychological horrors that mess with people like shutter island etc.

Slashers are way scarier for me than the supernatural. A human psycho stalking and trying to kill you is more realistic than supernatural with the fake jump scares and ridiculous plot twists.

It's horrifying thinking about what human beings are capable of. Although saying that Ringu and The Grudge, Japanese version, scared me plenty the first time I saw them. So I suppose it depends on how well they're made as to how effective they are.

Even though I have watched a lot of "slasher" psychological horror is my favorite. A Tale of Two Sisters is my favorite horror movie.

A lot of slasher films can, in fact, be psychological, they aren't necessarily at odds with each other. 2012's Maniac is a fantastic example of that (the original as well, but I prefer the remake).
