9 Scary Movies You're Too Pussy To Watch By Yourself This Halloween

7. REC.

Found footage. Zombies. Group quarantine. You've seen these elements in horror movies before, likely with generous amounts of overlap. But this Spanish festival of terrors incorporates every single one of them with a verve and panache that will send shivers along your internal organs.

The excuse for using the found footage gimmick here is passable: A local reporter is filming a documentary about a local fire station, and follows the firefighters as they respond to a call about a woman trapped in her apartment. This becomes the location of many nerve-destroying scenes and the bane of your existence for about 60 minutes.

Unlike The Blair Witch Project or even Cloverfield, where viewers constantly find themselves screaming at the screen to "put down the camera, you f*cking idiot!" because it's illogical, here you'll yell at the cameraman to "put down the camera, you sadistic monster" because it becomes more and more masochistic to force you to watch the things happening onscreen.

Bonus points to you if you can make it through any scene involving the use of night vision without averting your eyes. (But of course you're going to because, as we've already discussed, you're a giant pansy.)
