I am also a fan of psychological thrillers. I can watch gore/horror as well as I'm not particularly squeamish, but I prefer films that are dark and unsettling on an emotional level.
However no way in hell would I consider 'Los ojos de Julia' a masterpiece. If you're looking for a far more successful psychological thriller, I'd recommend the Korean film 'A Tale of Two Sisters' (original title = 'Janghwa, Hongryeon'). The cinematography is beautifully shot, the acting is topnotch, the plot actually makes sense, and the emotional climax... well let's just say it really kicks you in the guts. Whatever you do, though, don't get it confused with the crappy American remake ('The Uninvited')... .
