6	After 3 years of teasing and 1 year without a Marvel movie, the [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteenth]] and final film of the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' is finally out.

8	They truly saved the scariest for the last.[softreturn]
9	While ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and the Deadpool films have their truly scary moments even by X-Men standards, the final film of the X-Men saga, ''The New Mutants'' managed to top'em all in the Nightmare Fuel category, more like a MissingEpisode {{Creepypasta}} of the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' than your standard Marvel cinematic action flick.

11	Considering Josh Boone himself said that this film is "the hardest PG-13 ever made" and inspired by possibly one of the scariest films ever made, [[Film/TheShining The Shining]], this film is [[DarkerAndEdgier Darker And Edgier]] and scarier than the main X-Men movies, possibly even the R-rated ones, and he really wasn't kidding when he said that this film was going be a horror film with mutants.

14	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRdnwlZCLnE The Blu-Ray Menu]] shows that this isn't a typical Marvel movie, but a straight up horror film.
15	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdxbLw68QRU first 2 minutes]] of this film has been released, and it's as horrifying as you might expect. It begins with Dani and her father fleeing as fires burn and cars fly through the air. Dani's father goes back to save the residents and '''dies'''. As Dani runs, she lies down and finds herself in Cecilia's hospital.
16	* The supposed hospital that the the New Mutants are stuck in gives off a creepy abandoned haunted house vibe.
17	* Sam Guthrie goes to investigate something moving in a dryer when a burning hand comes into frame.
18	* Illyana and Sam stumble upon a little girl's room ... and a man with a smiley face mask, it unmasks itself to be a monster with no eyes and a terrifying SlasherSmile, and it looks like the lovechild of [[Characters/CryptTV Look-See]] and [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]].
19	** Illyana's backstory. She was subject to ''child slavery'' at a young age. What's more, it's very heavily implied that she was raped by the Smiley Men.
20	* A face forms in the walls a la ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet''. Good thing it turns out to be a MissingTrailerScene.
21	* The pan across the rows upon rows of gravestones, all bearing nothing but numbers, implying that not only have scores of mutants died there, but that their "caretakers" are so callous, they don't even see them as people.
22	* We see Cecilia injured with severe claw marks on her face. Although it turns out to be a good thing in the actual movie.
23	* Snowflakes falling from an unseen point into Dani's room. She catches a few ... only for the snowflakes to turn into droplets of blood when she catches a few with her fingers.
24	* Rahne sits alone in a church confession booth. A few seconds later, you hear ''WITCH! YOU WITCH!'' from her abusive dead pastor. Just in case the movie wasn't terrifying enough, [[TheFundamentalist Reverend Craig]] appears in this film, branding Rahne with a W, and unlike ''Film/X2XMenUnited''[[note]]whose main villain, William Stryker, was a SinisterMinister in the comic the film was based on, ''ComicBook/GodLovesManKills''[[/note]], this film actually tackles religious abuse.
25	* Roberto's burnt girlfriend. At first it looks like a sex scene between Illyana and Roberto, but Illyana is revealed to be still in her room, and voila his dead girlfriend appears on fire aka ''Film/ItChapterTwo''.
26	* The reveal that Cecilia Reyes is working for Essex, and is training the mutants into human killers.
27	* Possibly the scariest part in the movie is archive footage retooled from ''Film/{{Logan}}'', used when Dani looks into Cecilia Reyes.
