10 More Most UNNERVING Shots In Horror Movies

10. A Real Eye-Opener - 28 Days Later

Despite the fact zombie thriller, 28 Days Later, has its fair share of brutality, the most gruesome moment has nothing to do with the Infected creatures. After main characters Jim (Cillian Murphy), Selena (Naomi Harris) and Hannah (Megan Burns) are rescued by a group of soldiers, they assume the nightmare is finally over.

Sadly, the nightmare has only just begun. When Jim learns the soldiers' leader, Henry West, plans to turn women into sex slaves to repopulate the world, he realises the Infected are the least of his problems. As a result, Jim and his companions attempt to escape from Henry's headquarters.

While Henry wrestles with Selena, he's distracted long enough to give Jim the opportunity to repeatedly smash his head into a brick wall.

Even though Henry is barely conscious by this point, Jim doesn't think the sick bastard has suffered enough. Pinning him to the ground, Jim burrows his thumbs into Henry's eye sockets, causing him to let out an animalistic shriek.

As satisfying as it is to witness Henry get what he deserved, it's almost unbearable to watch his agonising death.
