Collider's 15 Intense Non-Horror Movies That Were Still a Nightmare for Viewers

"Movies are remarkably effective at putting dreams on-screen. Almost anything a person can imagine can be captured in a visual medium like film, and as such, cinema has given us plenty of brilliantly realized dreams throughout its decades-long history. In some cases, dreams end up inspiring movies. On the other end of things, cinema can also capture experiences that play out like nightmares and visually depict them on-screen. This is perhaps best seen in the horror genre, but other genres can just as eerily recreate the feeling of being in a particularly harrowing nightmare. The following movies can't exactly be described as horror movies, but are all effective in presenting dark, psychologically tense atmospheres that may end up reminding viewers of bad dreams they've had before. These examples begin with the somewhat accidentally nightmarish, and end with the truly terrifying non-horror movies out there." - collider.com
