10 Terrifying Horror Movies Where Nobody Dies

8. The Entity

The Entity centres around Carla Moran, a mother who's been abused and raped multiple times. Although this is a distressing scenario for anyone, Carla's predicament is more terrifying since her tormenter is a demonic spirit.

Due to the entity's form (or lack of), there's nothing Carla can do to escape her suffering. When her family try to protect her, the incorporeal being breaks her son's arm. A psychiatrist doesn't prove to be of much help either.

Although Carla takes part in an elaborate experiment to stop or imprison the entity, it fails miserably. Left with no other choice, Carla moves her family to a different state, hoping the malevolent creature won't follow her.

There's not a death in sight, but The Entity is extremely anxiety-inducing, thanks to its petrifying premise.
