One of the top films on Netflix comes with a trigger warning for one scene within the first 10 minutes that’s so chilling it’s making fans switch off.
That film is The Lodge, which has been branded one of the scariest of the last decade. Following new step-mum Grace as she’s snowed in a holiday village with her fiancé Richard’s two kids, strange and terrifying events begin to take place around them.
But one scene at the start of the film had fans “screaming” out loud, and was so “sudden” it required viewers to be warned before watching. In the scene, Alicia Silverstone’s character Laura Hall – mum to the two kids and former wife to Richard – sits down with a large glass of red wine.

Within seconds, she’s placed the barrel of a gun in her mouth and shot herself – killing her instantly. Laura has just discovered her husband is leaving her for someone else, before the movie segues into Richard’s new romance with Grace.

Taking to social media to share their reactions to the grisly scene, one fan said: “I screamed when she did that. I had a feeling it was coming then she did. Caught me off guard completely. Horrible.” While someone else agreed: “It caught me off guard. I had no idea there was even a gun. I thought she was just having a drink to help depression and then…”
“This made me jump when I first watched it. It was so sudden like [for real],” a third fan echoed. Somebody said of the film: “This was honestly one of the scariest horrors I’ve seen in my life, was gripped the whole way through, lots of twists and the audio was bone chilling.”

Scriptwriter Sergio Casci had to warn fans before watching that while the film is finally available to stream on Netflix in the UK: “Warning – it’s very dark.” The film is rated 15 with warnings for “self-harm, suicide and language”.
As extreme as the scene might be, it’s nothing compared to one horror film Hollywood refused to fund because of its “traumatising” sex scene between a human man and a woman-creature hybrid. That film was 2009’s Splice, which follows genetic engineer Clive who defies the boundaries of science to splice together the DNA of different animals to create hybrids.

In one scene the mad scientist goes too far and creates Dren, with a long tail, talons and a bald head. Clive – played by Adrien Brody – soon gets intimate with the hybrid, which filmmaker Vincenzo Natali admits put potential investors off.
He said: “No studio wanted to make it, because of [the] sexual part of the story. So we had to go to France. And the French, of course, had no problem with it. I really think that Dren is an object of desire, but not in the most obvious sense. I felt she had an androgynous quality.”
