10 Movie Punishments Worse Than Death

1. Body Snatching - Get Out

Room 1408

The big twist of Get Out culminates in amazing style, revealing the wealthy white family of Chris's girlfriend to be stealing the bodies of young black people for their friends to literally live inside. Taking over their physical form and acting out dreams of youth by hijacking this flesh and blood, you'd think two separate threads of consciousness wouldn't be able to survive in one body - but then a camera flash goes off.

What was seemingly one whole person you then realise is actually two, with the owner of the body stuck in a sunken place of hypnosis as a white person moves them around like a fleshy puppet. To make matters worse, the original black person's state of hypnosis can range from relatively comfortable to downright nightmarish, depending on what their interpretation of the sunken place is.

The flash is enough to snap them out of it shortly, but otherwise, a person has been shoved into the corner of their own mind as a parasite takes control. It's absolutely terrifying, and only really hits home on a second watch after you learn the horrible truth.
