Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.

<p>Psychological horror is a subgenre of horror and psychological fiction with a particular focus on mental, emotional, and psychological states to frighten, disturb, or unsettle its audience. The subgenre frequently overlaps with the related subgenre of psychological thriller, and often uses mystery elements and characters with unstable, unreliable, or disturbed psychological states to enhance the suspense, drama, action, and paranoia of the setting and plot and to provide an overall unpleasant, unsettling, or distressing atmosphere.</p>

<p>Movies where the plot is either minimalist or does not follow a traditional Hollywood story instead delving into surrealism, slice of life character study etc. Either way the focus is more on the visuals, music and overall atmosphere than a traditional Hollywood narrative.</p>

<p>avant-garde films that could also be read as horror. looking more for films that engage with horror on the level of language and genre rather than avant-garde films that simply lead to affective responses of horror/terror/anxiety/fear/dread. also not looking for narrative films with experimental flourishes (with a few exceptions—in the case of someone like curtis harrington, i've added his pop work. also adding some stuff like TWIXT or PSYCHO at my own personal discretion). i haven't seen everything people have suggested so i'm trusting yall.</p><p>yes i put my own movie on here sry</p>
