The correct answer is scary. The adjective scary means something that is rather frightful. Synonyms include terrible, dreadful, fearful, horrible and frightening. EXAMPLE: "One of the modern Halloween trends is for people to watch scary movies together."

The red carpet was rolled out for Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Ben Kingsley and Michelle Williams at the premiere of Shutter Island during the Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday night. In the film, it's the year 1954 and two US marshals investigate the disappearance of a patient from an insane asylum on an island in Massachusetts. Trouble begins when a hurricane hits, trapping them on the island.

Thanks. Good point. We certainly should have added chilling, creepy, eerie and ominous.
