05.12.13 | The Shining where Jack goes to the bar and he's looking directly at the camera and he says "Hey Lloyd." |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | Oh yes, that is one of my favorite scenes of The Shining! Jack and the ghostly barman. |
LloydNewgreen
05.12.13 | It's not really that scary in itself, more so that it was almost as if he was talking to me.
Plus it was late at night when I was watching it, all the lights were off in my house, everyone was in bed and it was on a 50" TV. |
InfamousGrouse
05.12.13 | the part at the end of that Insidious clip you picked was just a cheap jump. I found the old photographs the most disturbing, and some of the off-camera figures that some people totally don't notice.
Worst part in the Exorcist is when Regan talks to the younger priest using his dead mother's voice, now that's fucked up |
baldymort
05.12.13 | Agreed hard about 1. Almost have a stroke every time I watch that scene. |
TMobotron
05.12.13 | Sweet music list and list in general. Mulholland Dr. scene is the shit btw, nice having that at #1.
I disagree with some of these but love some of the others.
I normally like my horror to be brooding and creepy/eerie to create a real sense of fear/dread rather than big shocking scares which I find kind of cheap, so part of me agrees w/ Infamous about the Insidious clip but I just thought the placement of that scene was so well done that it's still cool. Shame about the end of that movie since the rest ruled. |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | @Infamous
Yeah, I forgot about that. You mean the scene where the mother shows how the witch lady has haunted her son in his childhood, right? Those photos were scary! |
TheBigLebowski
05.12.13 | Agree with 1 so hard.
List needs a feature. |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | Cheers guys. Glad you enjoy #1 as much as I do =] |

05.12.13 | HOLY EVERYTHING. WHY THE HELL DID I WATCH 1? |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | @TMobotron
Yeah I understand your point ^^ Have you seen #2 though? I think this one (in that it's a scare jump) is so crazily and well-done. Like a climax, you know what I mean? But thanks!
@Wombat
Don't worry you're not alone!!!! |
InfamousGrouse
05.12.13 | "You mean the scene where the mother shows how the witch lady has haunted her son in his childhood, right"
Precisely yeah, shows her development from a camera blur to distinct prominence.
#1 is great because you know it's coming but it still gets you. Nice pick in Jacob's Ladder too, that scene is messed up. |
InfamousGrouse
05.12.13 | "Shame about the end of that movie since the rest ruled."
Insidious is weird for me because the first half is genuinely one of the most uncomfortable late-night, high volume experiences with a horror I've had. Once it goes too supernatural, I lost interest. Plus I kept seeing the demon as being basically Darth Maul. |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | @Infamous
Oh yeah, I think that scene from Jacob's Ladder hurts me the most spiritually/religiously/intellectually/etc. It's just so horrible and desperate :( |
Eloriaz
05.12.13 | Hahaha so I'm not the only one thinking that was Darth Maul ;) |

05.12.13 | Lynch is the master of suspense. I remember hearing somewhere that he makes some of the actors in his movies act shit on purpose to make the audience feel as though something is not quite right and create an unsettling feeling. |

05.12.13 | insidious and sinister were both a lot of fun
u gotta turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP tho
the score for insidious is especially great |

05.12.13 | insidious was alright but sinister was horrible |
theacademy
05.12.13 | lol ok yea trust this guy^^^ |
andcas
05.12.13 | besides the snuff film scenes in silence the movie was a cliched piece of garbage and you know it |
theacademy
05.12.13 | it was a well-executed cliched piece of horror fluff
andcas it seems that cinematic cliches are your go-to pretext for not liking a movie. like you like so many cliched pieces of garbage but nobody else is allowed to |

05.12.13 | beats a dumb plot involving a narcissistic writer who can't handle his booze and just has to move his family into a
cursed house where a shitty demon likes to leave home movies he lives in of elaborate murders by too weak to even carry
them out little kids he kidnaps when he's not jump scaring you from an attic |

05.12.13 | oh my god! "a dumb plot" (!)
no u didnt go thereeeee |

05.12.13 | it was cool how they got the guitarist from slipknot to be in the movie though |
Crymsonblaze
05.12.13 | insidious rules really hard
sinister was alright, but i hated the last ten minutes or so. the snuff parts were so well done though. |
andcas
05.12.13 | agreed |
Crymsonblaze
05.12.13 | it's kind of like they forgot to write a third act for it |
andcas
05.12.13 | I particularly like the scene where the cop thinks the loud thud that sounded like fucking thunder could possibly be just a
squirrel and ethan hawke just accepts it |
DanielNightLewis
05.12.13 | I really don't want to be "that guy" but quite how you have the US version of The Ring in this list is baffling.
The "birth" seen in Ju-on 2 is scary as shit. |
Vespiion
05.12.13 | andcas, did 12 not scare you the first time? |
andcas
05.12.13 | when a stranger calls is such bland piece of shit movie so no. I don't get scared by a dime a dozen killer trying to be
creepy over a phone like a wanna be ghostface. |
Vespiion
05.12.13 | well yeah, the movie sucks but I've always found the premise of that scene a bit unsettling. |
andcas
05.12.13 | what's more unsettling is when killers don't have a motive and if you're looking for a scene similar to that which is actually
creepy then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgO7yAY6Rzg |
ViralOblivion
05.12.13 | Yah strangers call was boring and the ending was awful |

05.12.13 | also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JURfOQ51Ec |
Vespiion
05.12.13 | Damn, that's pretty tense. The rest of the movie worth watching? |
andcas
05.12.13 | yeah man. I'd say it's a pretty underrated film. plus it's actually based on real events. |

05.15.13 | (about david lynch) "I remember hearing somewhere that he makes some of the actors in his movies act shit on purpose to make the audience feel as though something is not quite right and create an unsettling feeling."
I'd be interested in seeing the source for that, because although I know he does it intentionally in some of his work, I think it's for different reasons.
When he does this in Twin Peaks it's to create that big juxtaposition between the happy and quirky small-town aspect of TP and the seedy underbelly that gets exposed as the series progresses.
With Mulholland Dr. I think Naomi Watts's overly-chipper acting is to show that the life she's dreamed up in her head is her idealized but unrealistic happy world, and the when she wakes up she's a realistically depressed mess of a person. That movie was intended to be a TV pilot though so it's hard to say for certain what the overall intent would've been if it had turned into a show. |

05.15.13 | @andcas
Good call about "The Strangers". I actually simply forgot to mention this movie, because I have
watched it twice in the past and I liked it, especially and of course the first half.
@DanielNight
I have some kind of a soft spot for "The Ring" US because I was very young when I first watched it
(the film was released in 2002 and I was born in 1992). Scared me to death personally. That being
said, I've never seen the original. I mark your words and will try to find it in the future ;)
@Hawks
Well, I haven't watched the sequels for "Paranormal Activity". I figure they are not very good. How
can they make so many sequels? I think this is a concept for one film only. But yeah, I though the
first one (like the first "Saw") brought something to the table. Maybe it was sketchy, but I thought
it nice to try a new thing like this. And it worked for me because #9 still gives me the creeps
:P
@TMob
Very interesting, I do remember Naomi Watt's character being very very joyful in the first half of
the movie.
Sorry for my late answers, hope you read them anyway ^^ |
