10 Most Anxiety-Inducing Horror Movie Scenes EVER

10. Bathtub Birth - A Quiet Place

When a horror film revels in its silent moments far more than its noisy ones, you know you're in for a rough ride. And with one titled A Quiet Place, it's all but guaranteed you'll be warming up the edge of your seat as you're perched there for an incredibly taut, unbearably hushed 90 minutes. Unless you're watching on TV, that is, in which case at least you've got dancing meerkats and operatic insurance companies to break it all up a bit.

No dose of advertising will save your poor heart from the bathtub scene, however, which locks you in place as Emily Blunt's very pregnant Evelyn is attempting to very quietly give birth in the midst of a very scary alien invasion. Oh, and just for good measure, the aliens attack and kill anything that makes sound. Good, great, this can only go well.

Watching Blunt's suppressed screams as she attempts to alert her family - all away from the farm and only notified by a light system that glows red for the danger she's in - is nothing short of horrifying, and will have you releasing a breath you didn't know you were holding by the time husband Lee reaches her bathroom hideout.
