Let's be honest: Although a lot of them are pretty *scary*, sometimes there are scenes that just...fail to hit that "OMG I can't I'm going to scream" mark. That doesn't mean you won't grow to love them, though! It all depends on your fear ~tolerance~. Here, we prepped a list of films just for you:
1. Pagpag: Nine Lives (2013)
Netflix description: After ignoring superstitions, a group of teenagers find themselves in a fight for their lives when they are haunted—and hunted—by an evil spirit.
Fun fact: Pagpag is a Filipino superstition that *requires* those who have been to a wake to "make a pitstop somewhere before going home." If they don't, spirits will follow them!
