10 Terrifying Horror Movies Starring MCU Actors
1. Scarlett Johansson - Under The Skin
One of the scariest things in the animal kingdom is the concept of a predator. Being the victim of a creature that intends to consume you is a horrifying thought, especially if they were to approach you as a friend. This film fully realises the wolf in sheep's clothing mantra and will have you ultimately on edge, thanks to its lavish visuals, extraordinary leading performance and a spectacular soundtrack.
Under the Skin depicts the experiences of an extra-terrestrial creature who has donned the appearance of a young woman (Scarlett Johansson). She has come to Earth to act as a trap for unsuspecting men, as she lures them in with her charm and good looks, then like a spider entraps them and leaves them to be consumed. But soon, she starts to stray away from her real purpose and begins a journey of self-discovery.
The film is terrifying, as the visuals of what happens to her victims will haunt your sleep, and the slow pacing keeps you consistently waiting for the next spike of horror.
Johansson delivers a powerhouse performance in the leading role, as she convincingly acts as both the unsympathetic villain and gradually changing protagonist. Additionally, her English accent is flawless, and she quickly makes you forget of her standard Hollywood affairs, in favour of this quiet independent horror.
