7 movies Netflix viewers couldn't finish watching
Netflix analyzed user data and highlighted the movies that viewers most often turned off after watching at least 70% of the time. Such a threshold, according to Forbes, the company chose consciously: if a person has watched more than half of the movie, it means that they were held by the plot, and the termination of viewing at this stage, according to the logic of Netflix, is not due to boredom, but because the movie was too scary or heavy.

Five friends rent a cabin in the woods after graduating from college to take a break from civilization. The fun quickly turns to nightmare when one of them is infected with a flesh-eating virus.

It was very cruel, very unfair and scary, and it was incredibly difficult to finish watching it. It stuck in my memory as one continuous wound.
I watched fever from the list, and I didn't feel disgusted, but I don't remember the movie clearly anymore.
Raw meat!
It seems to me that "Teeth" is wrong on the list, of course I don't remember it well anymore, but when I watched it with my brother, I laughed wildly..
Perhaps if you look at it alone it will seem more creepy.. I don't know.
An atmospheric mix of Silent Hill films, Something, Alien, The Fly, mixed with stories by Clive Barker and Lovecraft. And the practical effects along with makeup are also very good.
And his posters are very cool.
"Teeth" is probably a remake or a parody of "Killer Vagina" (2004) from the same opera as "Attack by a Mutant Dick" or "Killer Condom", that's definitely a silent horror. Who's just making this up? I haven't watched any of this, I've only heard it, so I can't give you any reviews))
classics anyway.
