10 More Horror Movies With The Most Shocking Monster Reveals

10. The Monstrosity - Smile

While Smile's grinning antagonist technically appears in many forms throughout the 2022 horror, director Parker Finn saves the unveiling of the creature's true appearance until the film's climactic sequence. Finn's method proves to be an inspired choice, ratcheting up the suspense levels to the highest point imaginable before letting rip with one of the most harrowing monster reveals imaginable.

After being plagued by the smiling entity for the film's duration, protagonist Rose Cotter seemingly escapes her tormentor after burning down her family home with the creature inside it. Unfortunately for Rose, she's hallucinated the whole thing - Sosie Bacon's dramatic charge is still trapped in the house with her smirking tormentor.

The monstrosity rips apart its latest appearance - a grotesque visage of Rose's mother - to reveal its nightmarish true form. Cotter is confronted with a vision straight out of the deepest circle of hell - a hideous skinless face with multiple grinning jaws leering at her like a hyena staring at a wounded gazelle. Proceedings somehow get even more disturbing from there as the monster levers Rose's jaw open, forcing its hideous frame down her throat.

It's an unforgettably macabre sequence and one of the most shocking monster appearances in recent memory.
