10 Genuinely Terrifying Scenes Trapped In Terrible Horror Movies

Given how wildly successful It: Chapter One was upon its release in 2018, fan anticipation for its follow-up was approaching stratospheric levels, but as we all discovered when the release day rolled around, It: Chapter Two falls massively short of the mark.

Despite featuring an impressive cast of well-regarded actors, this second half limped its way to a lackluster conclusion with scarce few frights along the way. Save for the genuinely unnerving scene where Beverly returns to her childhood home and is invited in for tea by the friendly old lady that now lives there.

Things start off innocently enough, but we soon start to see fractures in the old lady's behaviour. Unnatural pauses in her speech and strange little ticks soon give way to some undeniably creepy visuals as her true monstrous form is slowly revealed in expert fashion.

The only downside here is that the sequence was the focal point of the film's early trailers, promising us a wealth of finely tuned scares and elongated suspense sequences. Little did we know, however, that the only reason they kept showing it off, was because it was the only remotely scary part of the film that wasn't a cheap jump scare.
