Netflix’s Stephen King horror with murderer based on real-life killer has scene so bad viewers almost ‘throwing up’

There’s a horror movie sitting on Netflix that’s got a scene so bad it’s causing unsuspecting viewers to almost ‘throw up’.

Fans of the genre will know how creepy the film adaptions of Stephen King’s books often are and there’s one 2017 release that’s particularly popular.

Featuring a murderer based on a real-life killer, Gerald’s Game boasts a whopping 91 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on King’s 1992 novel, the Netflix psychological horror follows Jessie (Carla Gugino) and Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) as they take a trip to a secluded lake house to rekindle their relationship.

But when they’re getting frisky in the bedroom, Gerald dies from a heart attack, leaving his wife handcuffed to the bed with no key. Claustrophobia and panic begins to set in as Jessie must battle her inner demons while encountering some pretty weird figures.

One of the film's creepiest elements is the ‘Moonlight Man’, a terrifying figure lurking on her periphery that comes to embody death in her mind.

And while both Jessie and us viewers are unsure if he’s just a hallucination, the character is based on real-life serial killer, Ed Gein.

Just as the Moonlight Man has a bag of bones and trophies, Gein exhumed corpses from a nearby graveyard in a 'dazed state'.

He’d haul the bodies back to his home, where he'd take the skin and bones of his victims to make various objects like lampshades.

Police also found a female body suit, which authorities believed Gein had made to wear so 'that he could become his mother – to literally crawl into her skin'.

In case that character isn’t creepy enough, there’s another scene in particular that has really turned viewers’ stomachs.

So, hopelessly cuffed to the bed, Jessie eventually figures out she can use her blood as a lubricant. Yeah, told you it gets gross.

She then smashes a glass and uses it to slice her wrist open and slide free from the cuffs.

It’s an extremely graphic scene and is nestled into an uncomfortable watch as other scenes depict her past traumas.

On Reddit, one user wrote of the film: “Literally almost made me throw up. Which a movie has never done to me before. I had to push it down.”

Another echoed: “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."
