Guess it depends on the definition of scary.
Not scary in the "aahh it's a decapitated head" way, but scary in the "that actually represents the life of many people and it mind end up being mine as well" way.
Not sure if Ikiru was the best example of this, but it's the closest one I could think of. If we were allowed to put in books, I'd say The Tartar Steppe. That one really brings on the existential despair for me.

Right, I get what Haggis is suggesting with his Ikiru pick. The scariness in the film isn't necessarily fright like Nightmare on Elm Street. It has more of a disquieting quality maybe: "disturbance; uneasiness, anxiety, worry; restlessness, unrest.

The bureaucracy seemingly remains though, which is a bit disheartening.
