10 Most Stressful Movie Scenes Of All Time

After already losing one of their fellow Shimmer explorers during a shocking mutant bear attack earlier in 2018's sci-fi horror Annihilation, Gina Rodriguez's panicked Anya suddenly snaps after noticing her fingerprints are moving and decides to tie the rest of the team to chairs.

However, just when it looked like Anya was about to start slicing up her defenceless former allies, a familiar voice wanders into the room.

Cassie, presumed dead after that aforementioned bear encounter, seemingly calls out for someone to help her. But in a distressing turn of events, said freaky mammal was simply using the dead geomorphologist's voice to lure in their prey.

Anya takes the bait and an utterly petrifying few minutes ensue.

This grotesque, disfigured carnivore stalks the three frozen women, letting out the occasional horrendous Cassie "help me!" from its blood-soaked jaws.

At any given moment, this nightmare fuel could very much add the rest of the squad to its list of victims. And its those never-ending seconds of the creature slowly figuring out its next move that leave your heart sitting in your mouth right up to the point Anya makes a welcome return.

It's that comeback, one that leads to her own horrific demise, that finally gives the other ladies the opportunity to go all Howard Ratner on the disturbing unwanted guest.
