Ambient Light is a bi-weekly, personalized horror film recommendation podcast. In this episode, Angi answers questions about: disturbing, intellectually stimulating and philosophical films, films that are slightly off the beaten path, and horror to get you into the Christmas spirit.
I'm doing a double major in psychology and philosophy and I love horror films that make you think in both fields.
Often these films include 'intellectuals' who are actually analyzing what is happening in the movie (I like analyzing the analyzing). I love As Above, So Below and Coherence.
I also like just plain disturbing films that are more subtle like Sleeping Beauty, Stoker and Funny Games. And I love the metaphysical aspects of the current It film. Any recommendations on these themes? Thank you so much!

**********************
I recently-ish discovered that I love the horror genre, but I kinda feel like I've seen many of the mainstream films out there. Are there any lesser-known films that you can recommend? How do you go about finding decent films that are slightly off the beaten path?

It's that time of year, and I'm looking for some suggestions for Christmas-themed horror films. Do you have any recommendations that will help me get into the holiday spirit?
