10 Horror Movies That Are So Scary, People Can’t Even Finish Watching Them

4. The Void

Coming from the hinterlands of Canada, The Void is the 2016 installment from Astron-6, a filmmaking crew that traffics in a variety of genre films, all of which are well worth your time. The Void is the most overtly horror of their oeuvre, and it includes nods to horror classics like Hellraiser and the stories of HP Lovecraft. 

The story follows a local sheriff as he finds himself in the middle of a cult ritual that’s meant to merge our universe with a freaky-deaky monster universe where no one has any skin and pyramids float in the sky. 

If tenderfoot audiences managed to watch further than an early scene where a nurse stabs out a man’s eyes with a scalpel, then they must have decided to jettison the movie from their queue when said nurse becomes a gross, spider creature whose brain rises out of its head. If viewers made it past that, then they likely turned the film off when the sheriff’s ex-wife gave birth to a web of gooey tentacles that spread throughout her hospital room.
