Desensitization is definitely real.
My opinion: the majority of people find Insidious scarier because of the large amount of cheap jump scares. It isn't really any better or any scarier, you just feel tense continously because you're worried you're going to jump. American Psycho doesn't try this, and is scary in a more psychological, slow burning way that in time might have a bigger impact.
