If you're a fan of the horror genre, you'll know how on-edge film adaptations of Stephen King's books can be.
From IT to The Shining to Children of the Corn, the list is endless.
And in recent years, Netflix have scooped up the rights to a number of King's famous novels, prompting some reboots and some originals based on the books.

But it turns out that one of these films in particular has been described as 'scarring' by viewers, and it's certainly one to watch if you're a fan of King's other adapted pieces.
Based on the 1992 novel, this psychological horror film was released in 2017 and stars Sin City's Carla Gugino as Jessie and Thirteen Days star Bruce Greenwood as Gerald, who are a married couple that try to re-kindle their relationship by taking a trip to a secluded lake house.
While the two begin to get frisky in the bedroom with some role-play, Gerald has a heart attack and dies, leaving Jessie handcuffed to the bed with no key.

The horror then begins as Jessie must battle her inner demons while encountering some weird figures.
It's called Gerald's Game, and you can view the trailer here:
With a score of 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it's clear that fans and critics alike rate the film highly.

Despite the high ratings, Gerald's Game was long deemed 'unfilmable' before Oculus director Mike Flanagan picked the title up.
There is one scene though that has made viewers' stomachs turn, and it's not a pretty watch - spoilers ahead.
Jessie is handcuffed to the bed and left hopeless but figures out that she can use her blood as a lubricant, breaking a glass and using it to slice her wrist open to slide her hand out of the cuffs and break free from her horror.
It is extremely graphic, and is not the only uneasy watch in the film.
Several other scenes depict the character's past traumas with her father among other things which are integral to the story, but made a lot of viewers feel ill watching.

And viewers shared their unease at these scenes, leaving their thoughts on Reddit.
One user said: "Literally almost made me throw up. Which a movie has never done to me before. I had to push it down.
Another viewer detailed: "I need to talk about it. I hope I am not alone in this.
"Actually, the film has several scenes that are difficult to process. the scenes with the father also made my stomach turn,

"But I mean explicitly the scene with the hand... the way the skin/flesh peels off the hand is truly traumatic. I have never been so disgusted."
The good news for gore fans though is that the film is available to stream on Netflix now.
