The 15 Scariest Non-Horror Movies According to Collider

A movie doesn't need to belong to the horror genre to be disturbing, scary, or terrifying. Sure, the most reliable genre for getting one's heart racing and nerves on edge will likely remain the horror genre, but movies don't always fit neatly into one category. This can lead to horror movies being funny, comedies feeling tense, and seemingly ordinary dramas being terrifying, to name just a few examples. The unpredictability of it all is one of the things that makes watching new movies so exciting. To focus on one type of unexpected emotional reaction, the following movies aren't classified as horror movies (at least according to the social media/film site Letterboxd), yet may prove tense and unnerving for those who choose to watch them. For anyone wanting to experience unique feelings of terror outside the horror genre, these films are all essential viewing.
