The 26 Scariest Films That Aren't Horror Movies, Ranked by the Independent

"Let's be honest, we've all been stung by the hysteria surrounding a horror movie that people claim to be the 'scariest of all-time', only for it to be a damp squib that wouldn't frighten a baby. Look back through the history of film and it's often the titles that aren't classified as horror that can cause the biggest scares, sometimes unintentionally, as directors attempt to thrill or educate us. Whether it's an innocent-seeming family film, a brutally truthful war film or a documentary that doesn't pull any punches, cinema has proven time and time again that a film doesn't need a chainsaw-wielding maniac to terrify us.
Here are 26 films that aren't horror movies, but probably should be, ranked." - independent.co.uk
