Editing in psychological horror films are a mix between fast-pace editing and slow-pace editing, each of these editing techniques emphasise a range of different things throughout the films. Fast-pace editing is used to emphasise the drama that is currently happening or to even show multiple things in just a few seconds. Whereas slow-pace editing is more commonly used to emphasise emotion and the drama that is about to unfold, the aim of this type of editing is to build tension and suspense between a film and its audience. Jump cuts and CGI are very common editing techniques in this genre of film as they make the situation seem much more dramatic and scary.

One type of camera work that is becoming increasingly popular is hand-held cameras. This technique is used to make the scene look like it is being filmed through a hand-held camera. The reason it has recently become popular is because it suits this genre well as it looks extremely realistic. It increases the fear of the audience as it makes them think it could happen to them one day. Another popular shot type is a close up shot, which shows the facial expressions of the characters.
