Top 10 Most Terrifying Non-Horror Movies

The horror genre once used to be great, but it has died out a lot lately. Surprisingly, many non-horror movies seem to feel much more terrifying than the majority of modern horror movies nowadays. I'm going to count down the 10 movies which I feel to be the most terrifying. You'll disagree on some but remember that this is just my opinion. Anyways, enjoy my list.
