20 INSANE Horror Movie Moments You'll Never Stop Thinking About

20. Baseball Boy's Death - Doctor Sleep

Doctor Sleep is a rare belated horror sequel that really works, and Mike Flanagan sure didn't pull his punches throughout, as is no better evidenced than by the absolutely traumatic murder of Bradley Trevor aka Baseball Boy (Jacob Tremblay).

Bradley is preyed upon by the True Knot, a cult which feeds on the essence or "steam" that resides within people with psychic powers. 

The True Knot kidnaps Bradley and pins him on the ground before their monstrous leader, Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), stabs him repeatedly, all while the group drinks in the steam that evaporates from his body.

Child murder is a tough sell in even the grimmest of horror films, but Flanagan threads the needle perfectly here, cementing just how irredeemably evil the True Knot really is.

The scene wouldn't hit quite so hard without a fearlessly committed performance from Jacob Tremblay as Bradley, though - his terrified screams and desperate pleas to be spared won't leave you for weeks.
