    It's not a horror film per se but We Need to Talk About Kevin is really good. The book is amazing and I thought they did a great job with the film. It's about a mothers relationship with her sociopathic son. It definitely qualifies as disturbing.

    Deliverance is very creepy and disturbing film from the 1970s. It's about some guys from the city that decide to go on a canoeing trip deep in the hills of West Virginia. They aren't prepared for the dangers of the river or the inbred mountain people. It sounds cheesy, but it's really not. It makes you think about how you would fare if something very traumatizing happened. Would you land on your feet and maintain your dignity? Or would you go crazy?

    Black Swan, as others have said, is a great psychological thriller. And of course I can't leave out Silence of the Lambs!

    Thanks for posting this, I love these types of movies too so I am making my own list ;)

    I actually really enjoyed the first two Paranormal Activity films, and I don't like the average horror movie. Haven't worked up the courage to see the third yet!

    I think some of the scariest scenes in them happen in the middle of the day in broad daylight. The house also looks like your average American planned community house and not some stereotypical haunted mansion or something. Those elements together made me terrified to sleep in my own apartment for two weeks after. It will definitely "mess you up" in the head.

    seen a few films that combine mild horror with humour such as Shawn of the Dead and Severance, not quite your genre but still work really well.

    Audition
    The Strangers
    Bereavement
    Dogtooth (not a horror movie in the least but wonderfully twisted in a weird kind of way)

    Black Swan, The Machinist, Memento, Seven, Frailty, and of course Psycho.

    Seven and Memento are two of my favorites.

    These are good and Frailty is good too.... Memento is one of my favorites too!

    I second all these. I loved Frailty too. Own it. And Momento is great!

    Session 9 was surprisingly a really good film. It was a little cheesy, seeing as it is a low budget film, but it's definitely worth watching.

    If you can find them: The Uninvited with Ray Milland and Gail Russell, The Legacy with Katherine Ross, The Mephisto Waltz with Alan Alda. Old movies.

    I see some people have already mentioned Strangers, but seriously...I watched it once and NEVER, EVER do i plan on watching it a second time. I think I'll stick to the ones that probably won't happen in real life from now on!

    Battle Royale series. Pretty gorey, but still excellent and psychologically intriguing if you don't mind subtitles (Japanese).

    Event Horizon
    28 days/weeks later
    The Descent

    More Scifi but Sunshine is a really good movie.

    Also Feast is pretty good...in a cheesy horror kind of way.

    And I really love the visials in Silent Hill
