Black Swan (2010)

I really liked how mirrors were used in the movie. Also all scratching/cutting scenes like the one where she pulls the skin from her fingertip *shudders* really created the tense psychological fear kinda vibe. 

The whole Nina = little girl in Spanish and her mental transformation into a woman etc was also remarkable! Almost remembered Dirty Dancing. Completely different genre, but the protagonist's nickname is baby and she basically tries to become independent from her life where she was pampered by her dad.. and 'lets herself go', understands sexuality and all that.. similar plot but such a different way to portray it through Dance: black swan and Dirty Dancing!

1408 (2007)

I knew the moment I started watching that this wasn't having a happy ending. I was almost going to fall for the 'he never went to the room and wakes up in the sea' part but my brain has lost any hopes of a happy ending either in movies or real life so I wasn't surprised when the ending turned out to be sad for John lol.

Also, Stephen King is so amazing, he never uses those cliched Catholic female ghosts like the Conjuring Cinematic universe, he uses Phobias! This movie must have been a fucking nightmare for claustrophobics! He literally used natural elements such as fire, water, ice to cause panic! The classic Stephen King's flooding rooms and creepy washroom scenes were just perfect. I just love it when movies try to create psychological trippy scenes.
