A special place in the genre of horror films is occupied by paintings in which the action takes place in psychiatric hospitals. And this is no accident! 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 madness is very thin and the actions of people who are there can sometimes really plunge into shock.
Why do people make and watch such films?
Psychologists say that craving for this kind of film is not accidental for two reasons. Well, firstly, medicine and everything connected with it, for an uninitiated person, has always been a mystery behind seven seals. And the events that periodically occur there, associated with medical errors or secret experiments, generally affect people like a magnet. And here the principle of the forbidden fruit, i.e. man at all costs needs to see and find out everything. Moreover, I 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 as you like, the essence of this does not change. And this is what makes people interested in everything unusual, which can be connected with the psyche and mental organization of a person.
Knowing full well that this topic in cinema is always in demand, and with a talented approach, the director can also be recouped, the creators do not skimp on the shooting of such films. There is a benefit of fantasy, so you can turn around and amaze the imagination of the audience.
