6. Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

Nothing freaked us out more as a child than watching the Cheerio scene in this movie. You know, when the Dad almost cannibalises his own shrunken son in a bowl of cereal? Come to think of it, this entire film has a totally dark concept: a doctor playing with a forces of nature manages to unknowingly shrink four innocent children to miniaturised versions of themselves, with life-threatening danger waiting for them round every corner. The lawnmower almost tears their tiny bodies to shreds, ordinary garden bugs become demonic beasts set on devouring child-flesh and the whole escapade is basically just one intense horror film.
