I love horror films. What's your favorite horror movie moment?

[m.nic.]

When she wobbles it looks like the way an animal postures when it’s warning you it’s going to attack if you get any closer. The fact that she postures that way and then SHE gets closer, is very scary because it’s not only unnatural but means it’s not defensive, it’s choosing to attack you

[HB-lyfq]

Did anyone else hate it when he stopped talking? Like please come back, don’t leave me alone with the spooky lady

[hexagonphoenix]

the scariest thing a horror movie can present is leaving you on edge waiting for a cheap jumpscare that will never happen

[rubub]

I can't believe a lady tripping over is the most effective jumpscare ever made

[omotaraibiloyetwentyninete]

Na I think I’ll come back to this in the morning when the birds are chirping

[Sijdwnkzdkdk]

when shawty got low i thought she was gonna start sprinting at me. damn near had a heart attack

[miguelgenovata]

fun fact, the actress for the ghost, when she watched the movie herself, got scared of her performance and said she could not sleep for almost a week thinking about it

[lo.lo_marie]

Hiring dancers is such a good choice because they have so much control of their body and movement and can contort in abnormal ways. I think silent hill was the other horror movie with the nurses who were also casted dancers

[shilo]

cant believe i got scared of a ghost doing the stanky leg

[jacobjohnston]

Even without knowing any context for this movie, that weird movement made my stomach drop. When the ghost wobbled like that I almost thought she was crouching down to get ready to run straight at the guy

[lou_]

the fact the he said "there's no jumpscare, and it's quiet" made me relieved and worried at the same time

[vunguyenchannel]

Actress: slipped and almost broke her ankle
Director: “That was BRILLIANT”

[belalghunaim]

I can't tell you how much chills i got when she bent down and stumbled. I thought she was about to break into an animal run at the camera

[groovesan]

at first it looks like she's changing her stance as of readying to run at him, and when she's not, that moment makes you unconfortable even more

[reubenfuchs]

When something is terrifying like this, I try to imagine the director and crew all behind the camera during the scene

[yourweirdplant]

The scariest moment still for me was the "Go to sleep." Scene from Skinamarink. It was so simple. It showed the dark eyes of a telephone toy, making it look like a face, before it showed a light on it and made it look like the normal toy it was, before shining the light away, going back to the same, creepy looking face.
This showcases the whole idea that we're not afraid of the dark; rather, we're afraid of what's in.
Shot to the puddle of blood on the floor, followed by an uncanny face of something resembling a human body, without having eyes, mouth, ear, or hair, but having a nose, and it only saying "go to sleep." Before it just..ends.
It's genuinely one of the best written scenes in all of movie cinema for me. Just the absolute devastation and fear you feel when you realize the message behind the scene.

[UrbanArmada]

"She's just standing there..MENACINGLY."

[bluepearl]

This scene perfectly invokes one of the oldest primal fears of being trapped while a predator stalks toward you. The uncanny valley is a huge bonus.

When she almost fell I immediately thought she was going to start sprinting/crawling her way towards the camera and tensed up in anticipation before she righted her self.
