Scream (1996)

The Moment: A pure “splatter movie” kill according to Rose McGowan later on in the movie.

Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) comes a cropper in this slasher’s opening scene when she gets on the wrong end of a movie-trivia-loving serial killer’s blade.

Look Away When: Casey’s mum screams and falls to the ground just before a quick zoom reveals Casey’s body strung to a tree, “insides on the outside”.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

The Moment: Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) comes for a teenage Johnny Depp as he dozes off watching TV in his bedroom.

Look Away When: Depp is sucked down into his mattress, disappearing from sight. Cue the biggest torrent of blood we’ve ever seen.

Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

100 Feet (2008)

Look Away When: Jack’s mangled body is revealed, slashed to pieces and gushing blood.

The Curse 2 (2005)

The Moment: A guy is eaten from the inside out by parasitic snakes, causing his skull to collapse and his eyeballs to pop out.

The Fly (1986)

The Moment: Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), now almost entirely transformed, melts Borans’ hand and foot using his own acidic vomit.

Look Away When: Borans breaks into Brundle’s lab.

He really shouldn’t be there…

The Beyond (1981)

The Moment: Martha (Veronica Lazar) discovers a rotting body in the bathtub, which emerges with a single aim: kill her.

Look Away When: Martha’s head nears the nail in the wall…
