I think a good psychological thriller is basically a horror movie when done right.
One could argue that movies like The Omen, The Excorsist, Lord of Illusions, The Ring, In the Mouth of Madness, etc. are nothing more than psychological thrillers in which people die.
Horror is fear........let's not confuse this with the sub-genre of "slasher" movies. If we do this then the only horror movies left that aren't slasher flicks are zombie movies.........and even most of those you could classify as psychological thrillers if you wished to.....Night of the Living Dead being the best example.
