MovieWeb's Top 18 Scariest Movies Outside of Horror

"Horror films provide a unique adrenaline rush that can't be matched. It's the closest we can get to the danger of confrontation without actually engaging in it. It's one of the best ways to feel alive from the safety of home. It takes a great director to tell a well-crafted and engaging story that makes the viewer genuinely afraid. A film doesn't necessarily need to be a horror film to scare the wits out of the viewer. While plenty of horror films rely on occasional jump scares, brutal kills, & out-of-this-world scenarios, the movies on this list adequately deliver spine-chilling narratives without using common fright tricks. These movies are not classified as horror at all. Some are about outlandish scenarios that dive into the depths of revulsion. Some take us on a tour of the darkest parts of humanity with stories that have and will occur. Some of these movies are even dark and twisted tales meant for children. Here are the top scariest films that are not horror." - movieweb.com
