More 5G Than Man
To get in the Halloween spirit, I've been seeking out all sorts of horror films/psychological thrillers. Mostly, they're entertaining but don't do much for me on a scare level. For the more seasoned moviegoers in ZS, I'm curious to know what moments/films still really make them jump.
I'm pretty cynical on horror at this point, but a few scenes are still borderline unwatchable for me after all these years:
-The dog/bear/pig creature in The Shining. This mutated mask took me so much by surprise the first time I watched the film that I still can't get over it. That shit is so fucked up looking. The scariest thing I've seen in a film.
-The gangrenous body in the bag in Audition. Holy shit, that is a brilliant jump scare after an hour of fairly innocuous drama.
-The needle scene in Audition. This fucking movie.
-The rotting horse corpses in Un Chien Andalou.
-Any of the imagined rape scenes in Repulsion. The free jazz implemented throughout the film really ratchets up the tension.
Can't think of any more at the moment, but maybe I'll have some films to add to the list over the next week.
