8. Dark Water (2002)



View this video on YouTube Arrow Video / Via youtube.com "Also are we not gonna talk about Dark Water? Not the American one, the original one.

New Line Cinema / Via giphy.com "The first Evil Dead is widely regarded to horror fans as actually having been pretty well done and is the only scary-ish film out of the series. Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness are the ones that were over-the-top masterpieces of cheese. I love all of them, and Bruce Campbell is everything."—jaib"Where on earth is the original Evil Dead? That film fucked me up for literally years afterward, and I wouldn't watch it again for all the money in the world."—amberw44d7457a4

I turned it off about 45 minutes in."—dlasch"A Serbian Film was more disgusting than anything else."—sobia88"You guys forgot A Serbian Film; that movie is all kinds of fucked up, like, I don't even know how I got through it. I felt like part of my soul died because of how fucked up it is. I seriously had to fast forward through some scenes because I was going to puke."—allisons10

13. The Visit (2015)

"The new film The Visit. Brilliant. Not exactly horror, but in the sense it could happen ... Hell yes."—caseyrooney"There's apparently three cuts of the movie, too. One that's pure horror, one that's pure comedy, and then the one that was released, which had both elements. I hope they release all three at some point. I genuinely enjoyed the movie and didn't see the twist coming."—kabrenriddle

14. Strange Circus (2005)
