Bone-chilling and mind-blowing, let’s take a look!

Just admit it, you can’t hold yourself to not taking a small peek at horror movies, even though you’re afraid. Pauses, skips, screams, and even gasps, all happen when you watch horror movies. A toxic way to boost your attention span and your adrenaline, indeed. Some people consider the word “horror” is associated with unexplained phenomena beyond science. Witches, monsters, cults, ghosts, and even aliens, all seem cliché. But maybe it’s not the unseen and the unexplained that you should take into careful consideration when it’s the living who can act and go the extra mile beyond your expectations.

Sometimes, people are easily driven away by things that are not surrounding them. It seems so easy to miss bigger things that have been there, right in front of our eyes this whole time. The psychological horror genre is there to constantly remind us that people are the most complex creatures to ever exist. For the heart is as deep as the ocean, we never know whether the person sitting next to us is a serial killer. To pay tribute to real horror, BookMyShow managed to curate some of the best psychological horror movies that make you wonder how many times have you come across the devils in disguise. Without further ado, here are the recommendations for you!

1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

Upon its release in February 2022, Texas Chainsaw Massacre still attracts all horror addicts around the world. The remake of the original movie, which was released in 2003, never fails to create a nerve-wracking story about a skin-masked serial killer, Leatherface. Previously, he had been in hiding for a long time but somehow returned to terrorize people in a city. Warning, this film contains a moderate amount of disturbing scenes.

2. Orphan (2008)

This movie tells the story of a family who decides to adopt a child into the family. The grieving mother seems so content to have an adopted child as she’s still recovering from the loss of her baby. But, what if the adopted child is not as sweet and innocent as she portrays to be? Welp, that’s not the real question, the real one is what if she’s not a child? This movie is either going to make you suspicious of children or make you more careful to run a background check.

3. Midnight (2021)

Released in 2021, this Korean psychological thriller is worthy of your consideration. Played by Jin Ki-Joo and Wi Ha-Joon, this movie tells the story of a woman named Kyung-Mi who has problems with her hearing or is deaf. She works as a sign language counselor and one day, Kyung-Mi accidentally becomes the only witness of a psychopathic murderer named Do Sik. She has to face the threat of Do Sik and save her own life.

4. Get Out (2017)

Tells the story of a young man who is paying a visit to his girlfriend’s family for the first time, at first, this may be the right time to get closer to your partner’s family. But, what if her family creates a twisted and sick plan to welcome you? The plot twist of this movie is truly frightening. A thorough background check is a must, touché.

Robert Pattinson Plays The Batman (2022) Under the Shadow of Christian Bale

What about his execution for this role? Is it below, a tie, or even better than Bale? Find out here!

Not even a week has passed by since the premiere of The Batman, movie enthusiasts are excited to throw some cents regarding this new version of the Caped Crusader film. The most interesting spotlight in this movie is addressed to Robert Pattinson as he plays Bruce Wayne or The Batman. Just like any other remake movies, the main actor gets the most attention and typically stands as a comparison to the other main actor in another version.

His predecessor, Christian Bale, undoubtedly has more outstanding impressions that pave the heart of DC Comics addicts. It’s even said that Bale’s version, which consists of Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), is overall the best version still. However, is it true that Christian Bale still holds the throne as the best Batman ever, considering now that all eyes are pointing at Robert Pattinson? Let’s find out by breaking down some points to compare Pattinson with Bale! (SPOILER ALERT)

1. A Lone Wolf vs A Social Butterfly

This may be the most significant distinctive feature so far between Pattinson and Bale. While Bale’s version of The Batman is portrayed as a figure who still occasionally acts as a normal person behind the mask, Pattinson’s version is much more reserved and awkward.

We even can only see him no more than five times as Bruce Wayne in crowded rooms, and the rest of the time he keeps his identity behind the mask. With Bale, he has some balls to go to parties and tries so hard to separate his Bruce Wayne life from his Batman life. As Bale’s version eventually finds his love interests in each film, Pattinson’s version happens to be a coincidental romance with Selina (Zoë Kravitz) who happens to be “connected” with the bad guys in the movie.

2. More Grasp on the “Sherlock Holmes” Moment

In The Batman (2022), many scenes are presented to see how far Pattinson’s instinct can go in order to crack some riddles by the villain, The Riddler. It looks as if he’s forced to rely on his own knowledge and skill without too much intervention from gadgets sophistication. Modern technology only acts as a boost when some situations get pretty rough.

Thanks to his habit in this version who loves to write journals and reflect on what he did and he can do better next, this version Batman is more of a wanna-be-much-better kind of person. It’s quite different from Bale’s Batman version who relies heavily on equipment and more of a tactical person to beat The Joker (Heath Ledger). 

3. A Thorough Background Reveal is Not a Thing

We all can agree that Bale’s Batman version is more of an in-depth introduction about who Batman was from the very first start before everything else. It even takes three films for us to know the evolution of Bruce Wayne to The Batman that everyone knows about.

It’s a very different thing with Pattinson’s Batman version, the director, Matt Reeves chooses to give only some sneak peek into The Batman’s life beforehand. So, basically it takes us much more fast forward and places our interests solely on his journey to save Gotham City.

So, folks, what do you think? Has Robert Pattinson proven his ability to play as The Batman? Will he nail the next sequel, if any? And do you think that it’s time for Christian Bale to drop and pass his throne to Robert Pattinson? Comment down below and don’t forget to visit our blog for more entertaining reviews and news!
