16 Movies That Were Secretly Horror Films, According to Reddit

Not every movie is what it seems to be at first glance, and Redditors have noted that even the most wholesome children's releases are scary non-horror movies. Sometimes, the marketing for a movie does nothing to prepare viewers for what they are actually in for. Whether they are labeled as sci-fi, thriller, or even comedy, can turn out to be straight-up horror movies. Given how many films seem to delve into horror unexpectedly, Redditors took the opportunity to discuss which films gave them the most surprising scares.
