10 Horrific Movie Moments That Come Out Of Nowhere

6. Out Of The Wall - Aterrados (Terrified)

Spring Movie

Right, so in a film title that directly translates to 'Terrified', it's only fair to expect your due share of horrific moments. It's a horror movie, there's going to be horror, that's just the way it goes. But as this list proves, there's times when even contextual clues for just how unsettling a film is going to be doesn't quite prepare you for the moments when boundaries are going to be pushed.

Whilst the moment a creature appears under one traumatised neighbour's bed is definitely a standout, the one that truly embodies the 'what the f*ck'-ery of this film is when one of the paranormal investigators checking out a series of supernatural events discovers the cause of such disturbances.

Peering into a crack in the wall, she tells us it's a case of a dimensional rift, and that another world is crossing with our own. Just as she tells us that there's no way to stop it - a long, spiny limb reaches out from the crack and kills her, before stretching the wall open and crawling out to harass another poor investigator rightly suffering a heart attack.

The imagery of this film is no joke for starters, but it's this moment, demonstrating the crossing of the divide, that really hits home.
