8 Stressful Horror Movies That Make You Sweat

8. Us

Jordan Peele stunned audiences with his directorial debut Get Out in 2016, and then reinforced his immense power to instil fear in audiences in 2019 with his fantastically crafted film Us.

This horror flick follows a blood-drenched night of mayhem when the Wilson family are attacked by a family of doppelgangers who appear to know everything about them.

A carefully crafted film from start to finish, a keen observer would be quick to notice the subliminal messages rooted deep within Us. From Lupita Nyongo's character Adelaide's constant battle of ignoring 'angel numbers', all the way to the symbolism exhibited within the doppelgangers' costume design, Peele successfully taps into the long-established fear of the 'other' and plays ingeniously on these anxieties.

This addition onto the list differs drastically from the majority of the other entries, as it does not rely solely on the use of gore to terrify; this film's selling point comes from its magnificent plot and the carefully designed script to accompany it.
