10 Scariest Movies That Aren't Horror

War movies can either serve to glorify combat or demonise the human cost, and in the latter case there's simply no better or more impactful example than Elem Klimov's incredible 1985 film Come and See.

Klimov's dramatisation of the Nazi German occupation of Belarus can't ever be accused of making warfare "cool" or "sexy" - this is a profoundly upsetting, even nightmarish look at how war destroys youthful hope and innocence.

Topped by a mesmerising performance from Aleksei Kravchenko - in what might be the greatest work ever done by a child actor - Come and See is unflinching in its brutality and yet never feels exploitative or without purpose.

You'll certainly want to have something frothy and harmless cued up to watch afterwards, but the film so expertly details war's grand toll that it should probably be mandatory viewing for politicians the world over.
