Scary Movie With A Terrifying Plot That Film Lovers 'Wish They'd Never Seen'

If you're on the hunt for a film that's as unsettling as it is compelling, you might want to add "Incendies" to your watch list—though be warned, it's left quite a few viewers regretting the decision to press play.

Yet, the intense reaction has only fueled more interest, with one viewer even calling it a 'masterpiece'.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, who is now a giant in Hollywood thanks to films like "Dune," "Incendies" was the movie that really put him on the map back in 2010.

The film dives deep into a gripping narrative about the children of a dying Middle Eastern woman in Canada.

Following her death, she leaves each of her twins a letter: one for her daughter to deliver to the father they never met, and the other for her son to take to a brother they never knew they had.

As the siblings travel separately to the Middle East, they begin to unravel the dark and painful history of their family, leading to shocking revelations and devastating consequences.

"Incendies" was a darling during awards season, garnering an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and sweeping eight Genie awards, including Best Motion Picture.

It's based on a play by Lebanese writer Wajdi Mouawad. While the country isn't specified in the film, the story draws heavily from the tragic events of the Lebanese Civil War.

The film performed well at the box office, earning $16 million against a $6.5 million budget.

It also received high praise from critics and holds a score of 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. In the Facebook group Netflix Bangers, the movie sparked intense reactions.

One user expressed, "Sometimes I wish I had never watched this movie," sparking a flurry of comments from others who felt similarly shaken by the film.

Another described it as a 'horrifying' watch, and a third recalled, "I watched this movie [a] long time ago. Very sad and very disturbing... Very disturbing movie really."

Yet, many on IMDb have lauded the film as 'incredible' and 'stunning.' One user raved, "This film is extraordinary on just about every level.

"The script is terrific, the actors are perfect, the direction and cinematography are all you could hope for.

"I recommend it without hesitation."
