There are some movie moments that are too much for even the biggest horror fans. Moments that you watch through your fingers with your hands clasped over your eyes, and that you hope you’ll never have to see again. But because we’re complete masochists, we thought it would be fun to do a whole post of these horrible moments that make us cringe. You’re welcome/we’re sorry!
*Warning: These images are graphic! I mean, they’re fake, but they’re still terrible, so be forewarned.*
