10 Most Evil Horror Movie Scenes Ever
These guys make Darth Vader look like Elmo!
It's safe to say there's no shortage of pure evil in cinema, as moviegoers experience evil characters performing evil deeds almost every time they check out a new flick. For example, who could forget Thanos' snap in Infinity War or Anakin slaughtering younglings in Revenge of the Sith? It can't get worse than that - right?
Well, while those are truly reprehensible deeds, there's a cesspool of abhorrent movie scenes that make them look like nothing. Enter, the horror genre!
The spooky side of cinema is all but designed to highlight the most heinous things a creator can think of, and, oh boy, have there been some nasty ones. Watching the likes of Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees tear through teenagers like a pack of M&Ms is par for the course in horror, so filmmakers must work truly hard for a character to wow you with their pure evilness.
These following movie scenes will send shivers down your spine, leaving even the most stout-hearted horror fans in puddles of sweat.

10. The Stoning - Speak No Evil (2022)
The fact this list is starting with something as disturbing as this should make it clear how rough things are going to get. Buckle up, buckaroos!
2022's Speak No Evil is painfully grueling and unfair, and nothing spells that out better than the gut-wrenching finale. Throughout the film, you watch as a Danish family are charmed by a Dutch couple, only to find their behaviour increasingly concerning. Things eventually reach a boiling point as the family attempt to escape, but are caught by the deranged duo. Then s*** really hits the fan.
The couple (now revealed to be serial killers) take the family's young daughter and cut her tongue off. Afterwards, they take the loving parents, force them to strip, and then stone them to death. Making all this worse is the dialogue beforehand, as the father asks why they are doing this, and one of them replies, "Because you let me."
It's horrible to watch as the killers are brutally cold, even cuddling up to each other to gaze at their handiwork. It's impossible for your blood not to boil when watching this pessimistic downer of a climax.
