9. The Dormitory Massacre

Again, you're sorely mistaken if you thought the games themselves were the deadliest part of the series. Players seemed to be in more danger of violent death during lights out than in the competitions. At least when you're playing, you know what the rules are, as opposed to just getting stabbed while trying to catch some Zs.

After discovering that they can improve their odds of winning the prize money by killing other players before the games start, Deok-su and his minions chose to take advantage of the night and lead a massacre during their allotted sleep time. A catastrophe of violence followed as players were stabbed, mauled and killed left, right and centre.

The scene was also shocking due to the use of strobe lighting, which forced you to concentrate on what was happening, only allowing you to catch snippets of the horror. This made you feel the same anxiety and fear as those involved, as you never knew what could happen. Although, it was probably also a shock to any epileptic viewers, who definitely deserved some better warning signs.
