Yahoo News Netflix reveals the top ten horror movies viewers are too scared to finish
One of the joys of Netflix is never feeling obliged to finish a movie you aren’t enjoying, or find too scary.
Well, thanks to Forbes contributor Paul Tassi, we now know exactly which movies are so horrifying that users stopped watching them before the end.
Netflix revealed the top ten movies that are most frequently stopped before the end, or are only 70% completed. According to Tassi, the streaming service argued that the data reflected those who were too scared of the film, rather than just not enjoying it, because those who don’t like a movie would turn it off much sooner.
So here are the results…
