Room (2015)

I really wish this one wasn’t on the list, but it sadly is the one that is at the top of the most plausible stories out there. This is what evil looks like – when a man kidnaps a woman and keeps her in a shed for 7 years, impregnating her along the way. What makes this film even more startling is that it shows us what happens once she gets out, and the psychological damage that this kind of imprisonment causes. It’s especially hard for the boy, Jack, as all he’s ever known about the world is his ‘room.’

There’s a lot of accounts in the news of creepy guys who kidnap people and keep them prisoner for years at a time, and it’s terrifying that these monsters actually exist.
