This really crazy film from Yorgos Lanthimos is based on a Greek tragedy and stars Colin Farrell as a heart surgeon who is tasked with an impossible task by the son of a former patient – killing a member of his family or Watching everyone die in a slow, painful way. Death.

We're tempted to name the scene where Farrell ties up his entire family and ends up firing a shotgun so he doesn't actually have to decide as the most disturbing scene, but for our money it's the scene that What really scares us comes very early on, when her former patient's son eats a huge plate of spaghetti in the most awkward way possible while explaining what's going to happen to his family.

This mockumentary follows a day in the life of a charismatic but terrifying serial killer named Benoit. Throughout the film, Benoit pushes his documentary crew to extremes and presents his views on life and death. The most deranged and disturbing scene in the film occurs when Benoit gets help from his pursuit team to help him brutally and unconsciously attack one of his victims. This is the scene where the film turns from horror comedy to straight up horror.

Fire Walk With Me gives us a deeper and more haunting glimpse of Laura Palmer's final hours, while also exploring the stories to come after Season 2 of Twin Peaks. It is a hybrid prequel-sequel that Lynch fans held on to as their only chronological guide until The Return was released. The film has its own series of strange and disturbing scenes, but this might take the cake for being the scariest moment not only in Fire Walk With Me, but in Twin Peaks as a whole.

Laura Palmer's ongoing struggle against BOB comes to a head in this disturbing scene, when she is alone in her bedroom and her moment of peace is shattered by the sound of the fan in the hallway and BOB's sudden appearance at her window Are. As BOB terrorizes Laura, she demands to know who is attacking her – a request that leads to a horrifying realization. BOB's disfigured face resembles that of Leland Palmer, revealing the horrifying truth that BOB has taken over Laura's own father.

If you're the kind of person who likes crazy movies, David Lynch's magnum opus, Blue Velvet, gets funnier with each rewatch, thanks in large part to Dennis Hopper's stellar performance. But there is a scene in this picture which is not entertaining at all.

When Frank Booth (Hopper) makes his initial appearance he looks as if he is a monster who has crawled out of a dark closet. He ingests nitrous oxide while ordering Dorothy Vallance (Isabella Rossellini), the woman whose husband he has kidnapped, to pose for him. He looks at her body with a gaze that reflects lust and anger in equal measure. He violates it. He talks to her incoherently like a child. It is a difficult sight to bear, which never ceases to be less painful.

The scene in The Silence of the Lambs in which Clarice Starling (played by Jodie Foster) finds Buffalo Bill exploring his dark, creepy lair is a masterful exercise in suspense and terror. As Clarice walks through the dark, dank basement, she is completely unaware that Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) is stalking her with night vision goggles. We see things from his perspective, watching Clarice's every move as he prepares to attack. As Clarice gets closer to Bill's hiding place, the tension slowly but steadily builds, and we're left on the edge of our seats as we wonder if she'll be able to escape safely. Will happen.

What makes this scene so scary even today is the expert use of movement and atmosphere to create an extreme sense of dread. The use of silence and darkness is particularly effective, as it makes us feel just as confused and vulnerable as Clarice. Additionally, the fact that Bill is such a troubled and unpredictable character only adds to the terror, as we know that anything can happen at any moment. Even though this film is over 30 years old, this scene is still a prime example of how to create scares and tension in a horror film.
