Insane Asylum Movies: Thrillers, Dark Dramas and More

"So much of the horror genre deals with outside threats—demons, ghosts, killers, and vengeful ex-lovers with revenge on their mind. But psychological horror seems to cut much deeper, since the threat comes from within. If it's bad to be betrayed by a lover, how much worse is it to be betrayed by your own brain?
Starting in the 1800s it widely became realized that mental institutions were hotbeds of abuse and sadism that would make a perfectly normal person insane. The following films deal with the dual horror of being tormented by one's own mind while being held captive in an institution where the workers seem hell-bent on ensuring that you never recover."
