10 Terrifying Horror Movies Set During Daylight

10. Rogue

What embodies everyday horror better than a big old crocodile going wild on a bunch of tourists in the middle of Australia? Okay, it might SOUND like a specialist subject matter to those of us not fortunate enough to live in the land down under, but in the same way films like Jaws and Anaconda take a very normal predator and spin them out into human-culling death machines, Rogue does the same with our reptilian pal. And all three films do so largely by the light of day.

Rogue follows a group that accidentally stumble into a crocodile's personal feeding ground, and upon discovering the collective, this croc quickly makes lunch plans.

Whilst a portion of the movie moves into a nighttime assault, that Rogue isn't afraid to show us the full, brutal horror of a very real threat by broad daylight only serves to make it all the scarier. And when night breaks back into day and we watch a terrifying third act play out in the beast's lair, we're once again reminded by the shafts of light coming through that this isn't a monster that can be confined to darkness.

As if water needed to be any scarier after Jaws.
