    Schindler's List

    Requiem For A Dream

    Requiem For A Dream

    [ranking: 6]
    Perhaps no film captures what it means to be a hardcore drug addict better than Darren Aronofsky??s sophomore indie, Requiem for a Dream. The director??s hip montage editing style brings audiences into the world of heroin and speed addiction. Aronofsky pulls no punches, showing audiences rock bottom ?C the point of absolutely no return for four addicts who would otherwise probably be decent human beings.
    Requiem for a Dream is beyond disturbing. It can make you run out of the room crying, begging for the images to leave your head ?C but they won't... not anytime soon anyway.

    Irr??versible

    Irr??versible

    [ranking: 7]
    Irr??versible was specifically designed to make audiences panic. Gaspar No??'s 2002 graphic revenge drama literally made viewers sick. The director used a 27 hertz bass frequency during the first 30 minutes of the movie, a frequency that cannot be heard by the human ear, but has the ability to induce panic, anxiety, extreme sorrow, and heart palpitations.
    Several audience members reportedly left the theater during the film's opening scenes because they felt sick and disoriented. And the film already features a beyond-disturbing, nine-minute rape scene that is nauseating enough without the low-frequency bass designed to induce panic.  
    Film critic Roger Ebert described the feature as, "a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable."

    The Passion Of The Christ

    The Passion Of The Christ

    [ranking: 13]
    Mel Gibson's extremely controversial depiction of the last 12 hours of the life Jesus was so graphic that it sent many spectators racing for the door. Acclaimed film critic Robert Ebert wrote of the 2004 picture, "The movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of Jesus. This is the most violent film I have ever seen."
    If running for the door isn't bad enough, the drama may have also been responsible for the death of one Kansas woman. Despite the fact the woman had no known health conditions, she reportedly suffered a fatal heart attack while watching the extremely graphic crucifixion scene.

    Buried

    Buried

    [ranking: 3]
    Buried tells the story of Paul Conroy, a US contractor working in Iraq who is kidnapped and buried alive. With nothing to save him other than a lighter and a cell phone, Buried is a horrifying movie that make its audience feel as though they are choking for air alongside the protagonist.
    If a spectator was not claustrophobic heading into the cinema, they definitely were after watching Paul struggle helplessly in his confined space for an hour and a half.

    Happiness

    Happiness

    [ranking: 9]
    Writer/director Todd Solondz portrays the middle-class suburban life of three sisters and their families in the 1998 dramedy Happiness. Almost every character is a vile human being in their own way, and the scary part is each of them reeks of familiarity.
    In the film, Dylan Baker plays Bill, a loving father and husband ?C a standup suburban dad. That is... until the audience discovers he is a pedophile. The most disturbing part of Happiness is Solondz's constant challenge to the viewer, attempting to make Bill sympathetic. The spectator is almost rooting for him not get caught.
    Happiness was an extremely controversial film that was denied entry into the Sundance Film Festival. Roger Ebert wrote about the film's combination of tragic irony:
    Happiness is about its unhappy characters, in a way that helps us see them a little more clearly, to feel sorry for them, and at the same time to see how closely tragedy and farce come together in the messiness of sexuality. Does "Happiness" exploit its controversial subjects? Finally, no: It sees them as symptoms of desperation and sadness. It is more exploitative to create a child molester as a convenient villain, as many movies do; by disregarding his humanity and seeing him as an object, such movies do the same thing that a molester does.

No doubt, any great horror film will make the spectator scream in terror, white-knuckle their armrest, and feel like they’re having a heart attack. However, there are a slew of horrifying films that aren't in the horror genre. These movies that traumatize don’t need to rely on gimmicks like an invincible slasher or a haunted house that terrorizes its inhabitants. For these 14 scary non-horror movies, there is no monster hiding underneath the bed, and the boogeyman is real.

What makes several of the films on this list especially terrifying is that they actually happened in real life. Is there any greater horror than the events depicted in Schindler’s List? Would a genre horror film like Halloween make one question humanity like 12 Years a Slave?

These movies force the spectator to examine issues of race, psychological torment, and the depths of the human spirit. They delve into the deepest pits of the soul and force us to question our own morality. Most of these movies are not for sleepy Sunday afternoons, and most are too disturbing to watch more than once, but certainly important enough to screen when the time is right.
