10 Split-Second Movie Shots You Will NEVER Forget

It's hard to select one split-second moment in Hereditary, since Ari Aster's trauma-inducing feature contains many brief shots guaranteed to unsettle you. Annie crawling on the roof. The naked worshipper in the woods. The headless corpse floating into the treehouse. Annie repeatedly slamming her head off the attic door.

However, nothing is sure to freak you out more than what happens to Charlie. While at a party, Charlie eats chocolate cake, unaware it's been cut by a knife that was used to chop walnuts. Due to her nut allergy, Charlie goes into anaphylactic shock, urging her brother Peter to drive her to the hospital.

While Peter is driving at 100mph, Charlie struggles to breathe, compelling her to stick her head out of the window. At the same moment, Peter swerves to avoid hitting a deer, causing his sister to slam her head into a pole.

Although you can barely see what happened, the sickening crunch that accompanies the impact is sure to turn your stomach ten times over. Long after the movie is over, you will still feel utterly shaken by how Charlie met her demise.
