Which films terrorised you as a kid? - Page 3

Rape scenes in movies terrorized me like anything during my pre-teens and teens so much so that I used to feel scared going out of the house alone even during broad daylight. There was the rape scene of Rani Mukherjee in Hey Ram and even today here screams ring in my ears. I couldn't sleep for days after watching that scene.

Well I'm from the era when cable tv or satellite channels hadn't started and all we had was Doordarshan, which showed films once or twice a week. So the only films that terrorized me were Art films. Any film with the name Naseeruddin Shah, Ompuri etc terrorized and disappointed me 😒

I don’t remember a specific movie but yes any movie which had rape scenes was terrorising for me. One that I can think of off the top of my head is Damini. That rape scene was brutal. And also the aftermath, the way the movie progressed which was so traumatic for the victim.

Cabin fever and Dushman. Those 2 movies terrorized me as a kid. The thought of flesh eating bacteria and Ashutosh Rana's character were like nightmare for me. Whenever I got a rash, I used to think I got cabin fever.

I want to know wth were they showing Dushman on Sunday and Saturday afternoons on TV.😒 That movie terrorized me so bad. I thought I was watching another Kajol's movie where she has double role but no😭

Anjali (disturbing atleast if not terrorising) . Also , Demons scared me away being my first horror in life probably but soon this genre became my turf so yeah.... thats about it

I'm struck dumb (almost) what kind of movies you watched as kids!

Because at least when I was growing up in India every movie was supposed to be for everyone and children were brought up rough and tough to be able to come up with their own defense mechanisms. People used go to watch movies to the theaters lock, stock and barrel 😂 .

I was a very brave kid and teenager, so no movies terrorised me in these phases. Once I crossed my teenage I developed all the phobias. So I can only tell you what movies terrorised me after I crossed the teenage:

1)orphan

2) Anasuya(Telugu)

3) Murder-2

All these movies are related to psychokillers. These movies made me sleepless for next 1 or 2 days after watching them.

svat & Newbird, I grew up in a country where there were /are more or less strict rules at the ticket counter and the theatre entrance because of the rating...TV was firmly in the parents' hands and there weren't other devices to watch movies. It was only after 14 we could smuggle ourselves into a movie rated from 16 years on.

Like I wrote, it was the Ira Levin adaptation that gave me my first imagination-nightmare although I already had read tougher stuff. But reading-imagination isn't the same as movie-impressioned imagination.

I also remember my fright after having watched Arachnophobia!!!

I know through Hindi movies and through own experience that going to the movies really is a whole-family-event (which always amazes me - not in a negative way 😊 )
