10 Intense Horror Movie Scenes You Couldn't Watch

1. Alien: Kane's Got A Funny Feelin' In His Chest

Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) has become the high water mark for the sci fi/horror genre. Many have attempted to recapture the terror of this movie but few have come close.

The entire film is a claustrophobic fright fest, underpinned with the iconic tagline, "In space no can hear you scream". The audience is shown the horrific ordeal of the crew of the Nostromo, as they are tormented by the Xenomorph.

Before the tense game of cat and mouse really really kicks off, however, the audience is subjected to one of the most memorable moments in cinematic history.

Kane (John Hurt) has just come around after being left comatose by an Alien Facehugger. First thing on the agenda is getting a bite to eat, but pretty soon it's obvious he's brought an unwelcome dinner guest to the table. Viewers were forced to watch as Kane convulses in pain, as the Alien erupts from his chest, killing him and ruining everyone else's appetite.
