Now that we’re currently in the spooky season with Halloween upon us, Netflix has revealed the 10 horror films that viewers find too terrifying to watch until the end.
If you’re a die-hard horror fan and looking for the perfect flick to scare you senseless, the streaming platform has revealed the titles that viewers have struggled to get through.
The criteria was that Netflix users made it at least 70 per cent of the way through the movie before turning it off, unable to watch until the end.
We can’t deny there’s just something about having our flight or fight response triggered while indulging in a little recreational fear.

After all, having fun with fear is an ‘extremely important tool for learning,’ according to Mathias Clasen, director of the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark.
According to the Washington Post, Clasen said: “We learn something about the dangers of the world. We learn something about our own responses: What does it feel like to be afraid? How much fear can I take?”
And with that in mind, in no particular order, these are the Netflix movies that will have you genuinely horrified; you might just have to peel yourself off the ceiling.
