10 Extreme Horror Movies That Try To Break Their Audience

10. Exhibit A

We'll start this off with a not-so wholesome family film.

This found footage flick tracks the journey of a father who, due to his inability to reconcile with his own failings, puts his family through a nightmare they may never be able to escape .

Exhibit A takes full advantage of the found footage sub-genre. The movie is personal, with the violence, both physical and emotional, coming across as painfully intimate. Everything that happens in the story could have been avoided if, even just once, this man took a second to self-reflect rather than wallow in self-pity. But, he never does, and those he "loves" must pay dearly for it.

Take the moments where he verbally lashes out at his family. His expulsion of anger turns him from loving father to a rage monster devoid of any humanity. His character switch in these moments is naturalistic, allowing you to get a small sense of what it's like to be a fly on the wall of a violently dysfunctional household.

The most messed up thing about Exhibit A is that the way it treats domestic violence is genuine. This doesn't feel like a made up series of events, but rather a recording of a real life incident.
