10 Scariest Car Scenes Of All Time
4. Hitting The Post - Hereditary
Hereditary has many haunting moments that are sure to unsettle you long after it concludes. But if any part stands out, it has to be the car scene. A teenager, Peter, is invited to a school party but is forced to bring his younger sister, Charlie. After she eats a chocolate cake that contains nuts, she goes into anaphylactic shock, forcing Peter to drive her to the hospital.
While Charlie puts her head out of the window to get some air, Peter swerves to avoid a dead deer, causing his sister's head to collide with a post with a sickening crunch.
In any normal horror movie, Peter would go berserk or cry hysterically. However, Peter doesn't say a word nor does he get out of the car. He doesn't even turn his head to check if his sister is okay. Because of the speed he was going and the sound of that crunch, he knows Charlie couldn't have survived the impact. The scene could've been a lot bloodier and overdramatic but Peter's quiet and calm demeanour gives this scene a lot more weight.
