10 Psychedelic Horror Movies That Mess With Your Brain – WhatCulture

There are plenty of nasty things in horror films that's sole purpose is to scare us. Whether it's unrelenting and unstoppable serial killers, supernatural beings, or extraterrestrial terrors, there's no shortage of grizzly goings on in this genre - that's why it's called "horror", after all.

Sometimes, though, the horror in these films doesn't derive from a tangible, hockey mask-wearing psychopath. Instead, the terror is rooted in a more abstract place in which viewers' senses are bombarded to distort the film's sense of reality. The result of which can make for a mind-bending and wholly unnerving cinematic experience.

Fuelling their warped realities with dazzling, neon-drenched colour palettes and ethereal synth soundtracks, these psychedelic shockers are just as outlandish and bizarre as you'd expect. But it's because of this very reason why they've proven to be so effective; with some earning plenty of praise from critics while others find a special place in the hearts of many cult horror fans.

Although these films might not be to everyone's taste, being just too weird for some mainstream movie-goers, these mind-melting horrors are perfect for cinephiles looking for something completely different.
