7. Carrie
Whether you want to watch the original Sissy Spacek vehicle from 1976 or to watch Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore duke it out in 2012’s adaptation, the daily life of Carrie White is one of enduring terror. Sure, in the latter half of the film, the titular teenager loses her mind and starts exacting some much-deserved revenge on the kids who tortured her, and that’s good slasher movie fun. However, the scariest parts of the film are the instances of the abusive religious fervor that Carrie suffers at the hands of her mother. In that role, original mom Piper Laurie and remake mom Julianne Moore are equally scary and worth a watch.
