10 More Horror Films Too Scary To Finish

Stepping away from the bigger names now we have this British found-footage horror from 2013. It revolves around three men sent by the Vatican to investigate an old church after reports of supernatural occurrences in its walls.

Following the suicide of the local priest, things only get worse as the locals begin to shun the Vatican group. It’s a classic religious horror with a culty, witchy twist - and the sights of a small-town thirteenth century church are all too familiar to us Brits, making some parts of the film feel a little too close to home.

It hits on all the right marks, giving us a creepy church, nighttime forest traipsing, a dark secret harbored by a quiet town - you know the sort. If you manage to get through all of that without a problem though, just you wait until the ending. Now I love a good twist as much as the next guy but I really wasn’t ready for that…
