12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2017

7. X-24 Assaults The Farm - Logan

Superhero movies aren't typically ripe for scary moments, but Logan sure had everyone's hairs standing up on end when Xander Rice's (Richard E. Grant) Wolverine clone, X-24, showed up at the Munsons' farm and murdered Charles Xavier as he laid in bed, before slaughtering the Munsons, a bunch of hicks and damn-near Logan himself.

It's a sequence that does a fantastic job portraying Hugh Jackman's intense physicality as a force for evil, re-imagined here as a Terminator-like assassin with all of the horror that it entails.

The shock value of Wolverine having to face his younger, fitter clone combined with the ruthless violence X-24 employs to dispatch anyone who gets in his way makes the farm massacre a white-knuckle nail-biter, and legitimately quite terrifying.
