These images examine the genre of horror and psychological thriller, drawing upon influential works in cinema, photography, and psychoanalysis to explore their thematic and visual complexities. Specifically, it takes inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, Jeanloup Sieff’s horror photography, and Sigmund Freud’s seminal 1919 essay The Uncanny. These works are instrumental in understanding the portrayal of psychological tension, the manipulation of fear, and the unsettling nature of the human psyche. Kubrick’s films, with their unique visual style and exploration of dystopian and supernatural elements, provide a framework for analyzing the disintegration of the mind. Hitchcock’s Psycho offers insights into the development of suspense and the dissection of human nature through horror, while Sieff’s photographic works further engage with the visual representation of fear and alienation. Freud’s concept of the "uncanny" serves as a theoretical foundation for understanding the disturbing and familiar qualities that evoke unease in the viewer. Through these influences, this investigation seeks to uncover the multifaceted methods through which horror and psychological thrillers evoke tension, anxiety, and psychological disquiet.
