12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2017

4. The Super-Pig Concentration Camp - Okja

Young Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun) manages to track her missing, beloved put super-pig Okja to a slaughterhouse where she's about to be killed and turned into food, but she manages to bargain with evil CEO Nancy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) to spare Okja's life.

However, as Mija and Okja leave the slaughterhouse, they walk along a perimeter fence, separating them from a waiting pen containing the other super-pigs who are awaiting their deaths.

The imagery's similarity to Nazi concentration camps is undeniably intentional, and as if the implication isn't horrifying enough, two super-pigs then nudge their baby piglet under the fence, where Okja carries it in her mouth to provide it a safe passage out of the slaughterhouse.

In terms of haunting visuals that stick with the viewer, few recent films did it better than Bong Joon-ho's straight-to-Netflix classic.
