Revenge is a dish best served cold — or, in these movies, with ample violence. As the remake of Carrie hits theaters, let’s look back at the original and 19 other films offering serious vengeance. WARNING: Major spoilers for all of the films discussed.
Revenge seekers: David and Amy Sumner
Why they want it: David and Amy move back to her hometown, where they hire locals (including Amy's ex-boyfriend) to renovate their house. The workmen lure David into the woods, then double back to gang-rape Amy.
How they get it: When the workmen later try to seek refuge in the Sumners' home, David uses hot oil and a fire poker to fight back. Eventually, he gets a gun, but it's Amy who shoots and kills the last of her assailants.
MGM
Revenge seekers: John and Estelle Collingwood
Why they want it: Their daughter Mari and her friend Phyllis are sexually abused, tortured, and finally murdered by prison escapees. The criminals then seek haven at the Collingwoods' home, not realizing their relationship to the victim.
How they get it: In the film's most memorable scene, the "blow job with teeth," Estelle bites off a murderer's penis, leaving him to die. The rest of the criminals are killed by shotgun, knife, and chainsaw.
MGM
Revenge seeker: Carrie White
Why she wants it: Her classmates have bullied her mercilessly and her religious mother abuses her. She ends up winning prom queen, but only so two cruel students can dump a bucket of pig's blood on her.
How she gets it: She uses her telekinetic powers to cause an electrical fire and set the entire prom ablaze, killing everyone inside. The pranksters only witness the carnage and nearly escape, but Carrie flips over their car, killing them both.
United Artists
Revenge seeker: Jennifer Hills
Why she wants it: After renting an isolated cottage to work on her writing, she is brutally raped and tortured by a group of locals. They decide to kill her so she can't accuse them of their crimes, but she's spared because one of her attackers feels too much sympathy to do the deed.
How she gets it: She murders all of them. Jennifer tricks the men into believing she wants to have sex with them, then kills them off in increasingly horrifying ways, including a memorable bathtub castration, after which she lets her rapist bleed out.

Sorry, but you’re mostly bacteria.
Featuring blushing, yawning, hiccups, and blue skies.
Your body deals with a potential threat by going into fight-or-flight mode. This involves the part of your brain that controls basic functions, the hypothalamus, telling your adrenal gland to release a ton of hormones. One of these is epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, and is what gets your sweat glands going. The idea is that you'll need to keep cool while you're confronting the threat — even if it's just giving a presentation.

This is another symptom of the fight-or-flight response. When you're embarrassed, your body releases adrenaline. Your blood vessels then dilate in order to get more oxygen to your muscles by letting more blood through your veins. This has the unfortunate side effect of making your face look redder. Oh, and it's an involuntary reaction, so there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Sunlight looks white, but it's actually made up of all the colours in the rainbow. When it hits Earth's atmosphere it is scattered by particles in the air. Different colours of light have different wavelengths, and blue is the shortest, so it gets scattered most. That's why the sky looks blue.
You probably know that yawning is contagious. Seeing someone else yawn, or even just reading this sentence, might trigger you to yawn yourself. There are several theories about why we yawn in the first place but the latest — that we yawn to cool down our brains — seems to be sticking.

Move over, “David after dentist.”
And you thought your trip to the dentist was bad.
He had gone into hospital after complaining about a painful swelling in the right side of his jaw.
The teenager apparently first noticed the issue some 18 months ago but doctors in his village, which is part of the Buldhana district in Amravati, were unable to diagnose the problem.

Dr Sunanda Dhiware told the BBC: "Ashik's malaise was diagnosed as a complex composite odontoma where a single gum forms lots of teeth. It's a sort of benign tumour."

"Once we opened it, little pearl-like teeth started coming out, one by one. Initially, we were collecting them, they were really like small white pearls. But then we started to get tired. We counted 232 teeth."
The teenager’s family has been told he will require regular check-ups to make sure the condition does not return.

Body horror is defined as "a horror film genre in which the main feature is the graphically depicted destruction or degeneration of a human body or bodies." It is best enjoyed on an empty stomach. With that in mind, here are some of the finest, most cringe-inducing body horror films of all time — definitely not for the faint of heart.

What it's about: Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) is abandoned by his girlfriend Mary X (Charlotte Stewart) and left to care for their child, an incessantly crying infant that may not be human.
Key body horror moment: Spencer removes his child's swaddling and realizes it has no skin. Without anything to hold them in, the child's organs spill out, and Spencer cuts them apart with scissors.
Criterion

What it's about: After a motorcycle accident, Rose (Marilyn Chambers) gets experimental skin grafting surgery. Soon she's hungering for human blood and turning all her victims into equally rabid zombies.
Key body horror moment: From the new orifice in Rose's armpit — which, it's worth noting, looks very much like a vagina — a phallic stinger emerges to drain blood from her victims.
Somerville House

What it's about: Doesn't the title say it all? Astronaut Steve West (Alex Rebar) returns from a trip to Saturn where his fellow astronauts were killed by a radiation blast. As Alex's skin begins melting away, he is forced to eat human flesh to survive.
Key body horror moment: Unable to go on any longer, West collapses and ultimately melts into a pile of goo, which a janitor mops up with little fanfare the next morning.
