Fans of horror films are frequently labeled as tough or masochistic, yet they too can be overpowered at certain moments. This week, conversations about movies that left fans startled unexpectedly have been buzzing on the horror subreddit, with discussions starting from the 2005 remake of Hostel and other “torture porn” films. User u/anthonyledger sparked a conversation by asking which films made viewers feel nauseous, and the responses were intriguing. In essence, it demonstrated the power of horror movies to evoke diverse emotions from various individuals for numerous reasons, making predictions nearly impossible.
It’s not surprising that many horror films that elicited a strong physical reaction from viewers focused on body horror, gore, and torture. Notable mentions among the top comments included “Hellraiser 2,” “The Fly,” and “Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning.” Additionally, some viewers shared their personal experiences, explaining that movies they watched as children left a lasting impact. For instance, u/Almost_Victorian recalled that seeing the cherry-vomit sequence in “The Witches of Eastwick” made them feel queasy when they were younger.
If you’re searching for lesser-known suggestions from this list, you can easily locate them. The top comment pointed out Peter Jackson’s “Dead Alive,” particularly the scene with the “porridge” or whatever it was, as well as the 2013 German horror film titled “Nothing Bad Can Happen.
In this case, recall bias was evident since numerous comments referenced “The Substance” (2024) starring Demi Moore. Notably, this film has been nominated for Best Picture at the current Oscars, generating additional hype. However, it’s also causing some apprehension among viewers unaccustomed to body horror genres, compelling them to watch it. Meanwhile, some recent films mentioned in the comments were unexpected additions to the list. A few commenters expressed discomfort during the hallucination sequence in “Midsommar,” which was relatively mild compared to the rest of the discussion.
Horror enthusiasts in comments often proudly display their unease akin to wearing a badge, while some movie-watchers wonder why they voluntarily expose themselves to such disturbing visuals. Interestingly, psychologists have delved into this query and discovered that many fans are attracted to horror because it elicits the most intense emotional reactions. Additionally, some find it therapeutic to tackle their fears through these movies, as it allows them to bring hidden anxieties to light and confront them more comfortably.
