Victim is terrifying because it deals with the urban legend of the Slender Man (or Slenderman). The film really picks up towards the end where the protagonist is lost in the woods in the dark, with only his phone’s flashlight to guide him.

One unsuspecting girl is turning in for the night when she hears a plethora of noise coming from all over her house, when she returns to her room, her plan for a quiet night at home has been disturbed by a closet door with what looks like a mind of its own and something, or someone, watching her. *shudders* That closet door…
The Quiet
Based on the tragic true story of a hearing-impaired girl who is kidnapped, and found decapitated a few days later, The Quiet is a classic tale of innocence brutalized and lost. In fact, the worst part is not necessarily being able to hear everything your attacker is doing, but sensing it strongly.
