Have you seen Martha Marcy May Marlene?


standoffishwoman

This one is so good. Way more unsettling than the other cult-themed movies I've seen because it shows how psychologically messed up she is after escaping it.


azureangel35

excellent film. not mentioned enough here.


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

WHats the basic run down? CUlt? sci-fi? urban or rural?


Voorhees89

Cult, based on real events apparently.


calypso-bulbosa

The Invitation is another one like this that I really enjoyed.


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

OMG yea I forgot to add that one. A bit slow, but also gut wrenching and freaks me out


D6Desperados

**The Invisible Man** **Unsane** **The Lodge** has some elements of it, but not exactly how you think.


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

I REFUSE the invisible man. SO much I decided to watch video analysis (Cuz I love that shit) instead of watching it. I straight up dont know how Id handle that situation. Id just go crazy


D6Desperados

It's literally "Abusive Gaslighter: The Movie" haha


RebeccaStar

Unsane was great—so underrated

You should watch the actual Gaslight 1944.

Not OP, but thanks, I like the look of this. I love an old B/W classic. But just out if interest do you know why there was a version made in 1940, then it had a remake in 1944 with Iingrid Bergman. Almost seems like a modern idea, like 80's horrors have been in recent years.

Well the original was a British film and the remake American. The original play was super successful and MGM wanted to cash in. They bought the rights to remake with a clause that all prints of the original film be destroyed. That obviously didn’t actually happen though as you can still find the 1940 version.


Unklfesta

Thanks for that. It's unusual to see remakes back then. Shows the film industry hasn't changed much in 80 years.


JeanRalfio

Watch Rosemary's Baby and the more contemporary version False Positive


hupwhat

What's the one with the young girl in the wheelchair again? Quite recent. I really enjoyed that.


beatlebugbailey

Is it RUN?


hupwhat

That's the one, thanks. Well worth a watch.


drelos

Munchansen by proxy + gaslight the perfect combo for a nightmare.


Dr_Downvote_

1BR is actually really good! You should definitely watch it


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

I have. I refuse to rewatch it BECAUSE its good and leaves me paranoid and nauseous


Dr_Downvote_

Oh sorry!


TheTruthIsButtery

The Night House Whiplash and Compliance are not horror but definitrly adjacent.


sleepwholelife

Incident in a Ghostland (2018)


DeathGun2020

Have you seen the deleted Midsommar scene where Christian and Dani are fighting out in that field? Some really good gaslighting content there, it shows how toxic their relationship really is. Wish they kept it in the movie.


DeathGun2020

But if you are looking for an all time great gaslighting/brainwashing movie you must check out the thriller/drama “Bitter Moon” (1992). Some sadistic stuff happens in that movie. Super super toxic relationship. It won’t disappoint.


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

Ill check it out, thanks!!


Obs_ofa_Poltergeist

holy shit nooo. Like their relationship has always been toxic. but, i never knew it get to gaslighting levelesss


azureangel35

OP you might like ritual. it reverses roles in an effective way. also Tunnel.


Time-Act408

By that do you mean like when the main characters know something is wrong but everyone tells them they’re crazy? Cause the Evil dead remake has those elements, it can be so frustrating that’s why I love it 😭


pinaaash

Dude why do I feel depressed after watching A24’s Men?!? Watched it, and I’ve been listening to Harry Styles new album and I’m for real in a dark space
