My favorite sub-genre is Psychological horror as it relies on fears, guilt, beliefs and such, relying on these causes the viewer to become more attached to the film and it'll end up terrifying them more. The use of supernatural plots and characters brings a wider variety of story lines alongside tension. The narrative and concepts of these types of films always make the story attatch to the viewer, becoming a personal obsession and fear. For example, watching the film Mirrors (2008) directed by Alexandre Aja left me naturally avoiding mirrors, having a fear of them in case this super natural occurrence from within the film I watched was to happen.
Having films that create this type of thoughts and processes in the viewer means it's successful in pulling off it's intention, being a scary movie and have it becoming a constant thought to the fan.
