5 Intensely Creepy Films You Need To See

Polygon

There are a lot of horror movies out there that meet the requirements of being intensely creepy but some of these films don't need to be considered horror to creep you out. Some of these are creepy due to characters and some are because of the story. Check out these 5 films that I found really good but also intensely creepy.

Crawl (2019)

Giphy

Crawl stars Kaya Scodelario and directed by Alexandre Aja. The Crawl is about a terrible hurricane that hits Florida and washes up a lot of huge alligators. Kaya's character, Hayley gets stuck in her house with her father but they aren't alone. Kaya created a badass female survivor in this film during her fight for survival against a pack of alligators. It was the best horror film of the summer.

Fear (1996)

Gfycat

Fear stars Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg and is directed by James Foley. Nicole (Witherspoon) is a 16-year-old who meets a 23-year-old named David (Wahlberg). They fall in love and it seems like a happy forbidden love story until it turns for the worst, because it turns out David is sociopath who becomes obsessive. This movie is an intense thriller and shows great acting from a young Mark Wahlberg.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Giphy

From Dusk Till Dawn is a classic horror film starring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino, it is directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. The Gecko brothers get into crime trouble when they rob a bank and kidnap a preacher and his kids to get them over the border of Mexico. They find themselves at a topless bar that turns out to be a hiding for vampires to feast on their guests. This movie has interesting effects and gut-wrenching characters. The acting of the entire film is amazing and the story is one of a kind.

Nightcrawler (2014)

Giphy

Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal and is directed by Dan Gilroy. Nightcrawler is about a man named Louis Bloom who has a career as a news camera man. He searches for horrid crimes and other grim sites and sells them to a news director. The problem is Louis will do whatever he can to get the shot. The more the film goes on the darker Louis becomes. Gyllenhaal does an amazing job at transforming himself into a dark person and gives an impressive performance.

We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011)

WeHeartIt

We Need To Talk About Kevin stars Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller and is directed by Lynne Ramsay. It is about a woman who gives up her lifestyle to marry her husband and have a baby. She finds it hard to make a connection to her son Kevin and watches him slowly turn into a sociopathic teen without being able to do much to change it. It shows her having to move on from a horrible act he does and live with the thought. The acting in this is intense and well done. The way the story was told and the way the film was set up made it such a masterpiece of a film.

I hope you enjoyed my picks and give them a watch but be prepared for something that might leave you shook. These films aren't meant for the faint-hearted but will be worth the watch due to their unique stories and impressive acting.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

4. What the word "community" really means.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
