10 Psychological Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die

10. What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?

Kicking off proceedings with a hearty dose of high-camp, Robert Aldrich's 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?' is one of the genre's most beloved, iconic and heavily parodied offerings.

Telling the story of alcoholic ex-vaudeville star 'Baby Jane' Hudson and her wheelchair-bound sister Blanche, who reside within a decaying Hollywood mansion. The delusional Jane is so convinced she'll be a star again someday that it completely consumes every aspect of her life, causing her to resent and mistreat Blanche, who unlike Jane was a successful film actress back in the day.

What starts as simple neglect soon turns to outright torture and the cracks in Jane's already fragile psyche deepen as the film progresses. Leading to some incredibly nasty scenes that are every bit as deplorable now as they were back in 1962.

The film is arguably better known for the infamous feud between stars Joan Crawford and Bette Davis that occurred on the set. It's easy to see from watching the film that their mutual hatred of one another has seeped into every frame of the picture, making its abject cruelty feel all the more real, giving it a truly disturbing edge that undercuts its campier elements.
