A special place in the genre of horror films is occupied by pictures in which the action takes place in psychiatric hospitals. And this is no coincidence! After all, even though simple monsters and ghosts can scare you, you subconsciously know that they are not real. Another thing is the patients of psychiatric clinics and, possibly, the events taking place there. And this proves once again that the line between norm and insanity is very thin and the actions of people who find themselves there can sometimes really shock you.
Why do people make and watch such films?
Psychologists argue that the craving for this kind of films is not accidental for two reasons. Well, firstly, medicine and everything connected with it, for an uninitiated person, has always been a secret sealed with seven seals. And the events that periodically occur there, related to medical errors or secret experiments, generally act on people like a magnet. And here the principle of the forbidden fruit comes into play, i.e. a person at all costs needs to see and learn everything. All the more you want to look into a psychiatric hospital - a closed facility where events take place that you can only guess about.
No matter how many discoveries a person makes, the mystery of the human soul remains unsolved. And it always attracts.
The second reason is that each of you has a second “I”, an inner voice. It can be called whatever you like, the essence does not change. And this is what makes people interested in everything unusual that may be associated with the psyche and mental organization of a person.
Knowing perfectly well that this topic is always in demand in cinematography, and with a talented approach of the director, it can also pay off, the creators do not skimp on filming such films. Fortunately, there is fantasy, so you can turn around and amaze the imagination of the audience.
