I love horror films of pretty much every kind, and psychological horror is no different. There are less examples of pure psychological horror in films, with thrillers being far more common; one recent film I've enjoyed watching is Gerald's Game (2017), based on the 1992 Stephen King novel. One of my absolute favorites in the genre is the now classic Jacob's Ladder (1990), of which I still own the VHS for!
That said, psychological horror tends to be blended frequently with other sub-genres; recently there's the practice of combining it with folk horror such as The Witch (2015) and Midsommar (2019), or with cosmic horror like The Empty Man (2020). A lot of people don't make the distinction between psychological horror and thriller, but a thriller tends to be more about a tale that employs twists and turns, while psychological horror usually bends reality with or without and impending mystery behind it.
Anyway, there's obviously a lot of genre incestuous thrillers that utilize psychological horror as well, so I can understand why they are often mistaken for one another.
