Summary Psychedelic horror movies are a niche, but incredibly satisfying type of scary movie, with the best examples being terrifying visual feasts. Of all the horror subgenres, psychedelic horror doesn't get enough credit as being some of the best around, crafting engaging tales that are uniquely suited to the medium of film.
Director Panos Cosmatos Release Date September 14, 2018 Cast Andrea Riseborough , Bill Duke , Linus Roache , Nicolas Cage , Richard Brake Runtime 121 Minutes Nicolas Cage is known for having quite eclectic roles in horror movies or horror-adjacent projects, playing everything from speechless pinball aficionados to Dracula himself.
Director Panos Cosmatos Release Date December 3, 2010 Cast Michael Rogers , Eva Allan , Scott Hylands , Marilyn Norry , Rondel Reynoldson , Ryley Zinger Runtime 110 minutes Not only is Beyond the Black Rainbow a decidedly psychedelic horror story in terms of its tone and presentation, but its very narrative is deeply rooted in the 60s new age spirituality that heavily popularized the use of the psychedelic drugs which coined the term.
Despite the straightforward supernatural antagonists, Suspiria manages to unbalance its viewer with decidedly psychedelic visuals, pioneering some of the shocking editing choices, nauseating gore, audacious color schemes, and dizzying camera angles that would go on to inspire legions of imitators. The world of the insidious witch coven also operates mysteriously and without overt logic, hurling the viewer into a delicate ballet of despair-inducing confusion.
Looking at the finished product of Mad God, it's easy to see why this was the case, with each frame of the lovingly hand-rendered characters being a masterpiece of dizzying terror. The film's plot is vague and nonsensical, without a drop of dialogue to spoil the mood, following a mysterious figure known only as the assassin on a demented journey deeper and deeper into a twisted underworld of nightmarish creatures.
