Also many times there is use of different levels of lighting to help create a mysterious atmosphere and aid in reflecting the emotions of certain characters as it can create shadows showing fear or even duality of a character.
Costume and makeup can involve special effects makeup to show the fatigue a character may feel or that they have been crying e.g by smudged eye makeup or redness or either an injury, which looks believable.
Psychological thrillers tend to be very particular with props as it can ruin the verisimilitude of the whole film also the objects helps determine the personality of characters e.g. guns show lack of morality.
To add to this locations can have very small space in order to illustrate a sense of entrapment or foreboding e.g haunted house
Some films that come to mind when having sets that are intricate and realistic is 'The Woman In Black'(2012).
Another movie that had a really good mis-en-scene is 'The Conjuring' (2013)
