Horror movies have always been a staple of the film industry, but some of them are so disturbing that they can leave viewers shaken for days. Here are 20 of the most unsettling horror films ever made, each with its own unique brand of terror.
1. **Society (1989)**
Directed by Brian Yuzna, “Society” is a body horror satire that critiques class divisions and social hierarchies. The film follows a young boy named Bill as he uncovers the dark secrets of his affluent family and their snobbish friends. The movie ends with a jarring scene that reveals the true monstrous nature of the social elites.
2. **Terrifier (2016)**
In “Terrifier,” Amien Leone brings to life Art the Clown, a killer clown who stalks and executes helpless victims on Halloween night. The film is graphic and violent, with scarce dialogue, making it a visceral and frightening experience.
3. **Maniac (1980)**
Directed by William Lustig, “Maniac” is one of the most gruesome films ever made. The movie revolves around Frank Zito, an unbalanced serial killer of women in New York City. It delves into Frank’s mind and traumatic past, creating a gritty and intense horror experience.
4. **A Serbian Film (2010)**
“A Serbian Film” is notorious for its extreme graphic content, including violent scenes and s*xual assault. The story follows a retired p*rnography star who becomes embroiled in a sinister world of depravity. This film is a disturbing commentary on society and its exploitation of human specimens.
5. **The Human Centipede (2009)**
Directed by Tom Six, “The Human Centipede” involves a deranged surgeon kidnapping three tourists and performing grotesque surgical procedures on them. The film connects the mouths of the three people via surgery, creating a human centipede. This bizarre premise forces viewers to question the limits of acceptability.
6. **Hostel (2005)**
Eli Roth’s “Hostel” tells the spine-chilling tale of three backpackers who travel to Europe and unknowingly get entangled with a vicious underground organization that tortures and kills unsuspecting tourists for cold, hard cash. The film is graphic and violates the viewer’s tolerance for gore.
7. **The Wicker Man (1973)**
The original “Wicker Man” is a folk horror classic that follows a devoutly religious cop who goes to an isolated Scottish isle in search of a missing girl. The film ends with a traumatic scene where Sgt. Neil Howie is burned alive as a sacrifice, creating an atmosphere of slowly encroaching dread.
8. **Tusk (2014)**
Directed by Kevin Smith, “Tusk” focuses on Justin Long’s character, Wallace Bryton, who ends up falling into the hands of a deranged man who sews him into a walrus costume. Beneath its silly premise, the film is genuinely disturbing, particularly when Bryton is conditioned to become more beast than man.
9. **Jeepers Creepers (2001)**
In “Jeepers Creepers,” Justin Long plays Danny Jenner, who, along with his sister, is pursued by the sinister being of the title. The most traumatizing part of the film is undoubtedly the ending, which leaves viewers with a sense of hopelessness.
10. **The First Omen (1976)**
This prequel to “The Omen” follows a young novice nun named Margaret who discovers she is part of a sinister conspiracy to bring the Antichrist into the world. The film is judicious in its use of body horror, making it a deeply disturbing look at the nature of pregnancy and human control.
11. **Get Out (2017
