i believe it's the same as a thriller movie, but the characters are inherently scary most of the time because of the way they think or treat others. i think psychological thrillers are often scarier because they show how twisted people can be, and the plot is more realistic, which makes it scarier. an example of a movie: seven.
the film "psycho" uses scenes of brutality in order to influence one's perception of the film.
