Part 4/9:
Directors like Stanley Kubrick excel at psychological horror, creating films that disturb the mind rather than relying solely on visual shocks. The Shining showcases this, as nuances of storytelling and character exploration provide layers of anxiety. Moments such as Jack Torrance's encounter with the specter in the hotel bathroom reveal how seemingly innocent scenes can spiral into a harrowing experience. The subtlety of psychological fear lies in its capacity to linger long after the credits roll.
