The Top 10 Movies That Left You Messed Up In The Lobby, According To Reddit

You know the feeling. When you’re a little too deep into the story—and bam—the movie theater lights come back on anyway. You need time to emotionally decompress, but instead you’re swept back out into the lobby with the rest of the riff-raff. Now, suddenly, you’re alone in the parking lot, head-spinning from the mind-melting horrors your unprepared brain just experienced. Well, that’s the vibe over at Reddit today, as they vote on the top movies to leave you reeling in the parking lot after the film is over.

We’ve taken a deep dive into the upvotes to decipher what the heavy-hitters amongst the community really are. Some surprises to be sure. Speaking as an especially sensitive movie-goer, I can’t bring myself to judge anything on the following list.

Here are Reddit’s top ten horror movies that leave you real messed up afterwards

  1. The Lighthouse – 315 Upvotes
  2. Annihilation – 290 Upvotes
  3. The Conjuring – 246. Upvotes
  4. Final Destination 2 – 224 Upvotes
  5. Paranormal Activity – 195 Upvotes
  6. “White Bear”, Black Mirror – 164 Upvotes
  7. Event Horizon – 131 Upvotes
  8. Dancer In The Dark – 131 Upvotes
  9. Requiem For A Dream – 126 Upvotes
  10. Mother! – 109 Upvotes

While it was a long time ago, I have got to admit the OG Paranormal Activity left me and mutuals real bugged out in the lobby after the show. Although I could honestly say the same for every entry listed, so maybe I’m not the litmus test. Annihilation was especially hard on my little peanut brain. Forget about your man, Natalie, and get out of there.

What say you? Which of the above titles are as disturbing as Reddit says, and which movies should get the boot? Let me know on Twitter via @joshkorngut. I’m always around to chat all things mind-bending horror!
