10 Horror Movies That Went Too Far

Now, this isn't necessarily one that went to far by any normal horror movie standard, especially since the actual horror of the movie comes in one distilled moment and is arguably one of the most effective alien stories put to screen, but considering the context of the rest of the movie: Holy sh*t. They really didn't have to do us like that.

Fire In The Sky is the tightly wound drama that sees a group of men attempt to convince the world that their friend was abducted by aliens. Whilst no one believes them and believes missing logger Walton could have been murdered, they're forced to reevaluate when Walton reappears five days later. And then - AND THEN - we get a flashback to his experiences.

Not leaving anything to the imagination, Fire in the Sky shows us strange, fleshy, abominations of an alien species that cover Walton in an elastic substance and then painfully probe his throat, pinning his jaw and eyes open for extra effect. You may have seen worse, but this is certainly one of the most memorable horror scenes out there for its construction of terror, and comes completely out of nowhere in a film that's posits itself as slow burning and ambiguous. Contextually: way too far.
