10 Most Anxiety-Inducing Movie Scenes EVER

10. Prometheus - Alien C-Section

If there's one thing most people can safely say they'd never want, it's to be impregnated by a violent alien species that will tear you apart from the inside out. I mean, I'm not speaking for those folk that get their rocks off to ovipositor, egg-laying sex toys that appear exclusively on Wish adverts and VICE articles, but I'm not here to kink shame either.

But that's exactly what happens to poor Elizabeth Shaw during the run of Prometheus. Previously infertile but suddenly finding herself in the advanced stages of pregnancy, Shaw realises something inhuman has made it's home inside her - and she needs to get it out quickly. Repurposing an automated surgical machine to perform an emergency C-Section on her, it's a nail-biting sequence where she has to reprogram the Med-Pod against its 'male' settings and figure out a roundabout way of extracting the creature.

And even when she does get the damn squid out, it's stuck in a glass tube freaking out with her, making for a relentless, painful experience from start to finish. Yes, Alien could have very easily gone here, but let's give its lesser loved child a bit of appreciation too, hey?
