15 Movies That Made People Physically Ill

The most enjoyable thing about going to see a horror movie in the theater is that split-second between everyone screaming and everyone laughing — that brief period of insanity where your body is still terrified but your brain is moving on to being amused by how scared you just were. It’s awesome, weirdly exhausting and doesn’t quite work the same way at home.

Something that also sometimes happens when watching horror movies that isn’t particularly enjoyable? Puking your fucking guts up in fright and disgust. But it happens, and arguably becomes enjoyable in hindsight — good for you, you really committed to the role of “frightened theatergoer.”
