Behind the Running Up That Hill Scene with Sadie Sink & Shawn Levy | Stranger Things | Netflix

Darkness returns to Hawkins just in time for spring break, igniting fresh terror, disturbing memories — and an ominous new threat.

This scene for sure goes down as one of the most iconic and unforgettable in Stranger Things

[PieOfEpicness]

It wasn't just Sadie that brought this scene to life. She did an incredible job, but so did the set designers, the VFX artists, the make up artists, the writers, the director, the stunt double, and the woman who picked the song. So many people worked on this and they all deserve recognition. Just give them all the awards!!

[trinaq]

Sadie should definitely be nominated for an Emmy, her acting was immensely powerful this season!

[ishat]

this scene is just incredible. award-winning.

[aminam]

this scene literally gave me anxiety. seeing max sprinting towards her friends and the intensity of it all was so scary and realistic. this scene was beautifully thought out so props to the directors and especially to sadie for such an amazing performance

[BGYMix]

The people who helped bring this scene to life need a lot of credit for this! Props to them!

[emmahasastrangename]

I found it insane that Sadie was able to imagine the vines there and even act out being choked! And the visual effects where so insane I could not believe they looked so good!

[timberland]

Sadie’s reactions to the falling debris were so realistic. She’s done such an amazing job this season!!!

[monkey]

Some praise should be given to Sadies stunt double as well for her contribution to this fantastic scene

[raspyswirly]

Max's escape shook me to the core. What a really well-done scene of television. Big hats off to Sadie, especially.

[canny_linguist]

Dear Billy should be nominated for an Emmy in the best episode category.

Sadie Sink was absolutely perfect.

So too was the directing by Shawn Levy, the writing by Matt and Ross Duffer, and all the hard work by the ST crew who also deserve recognition.

[PersephoneSelene]

Not too sound dramatic but this scene was just so powerful. It made me feel something and still stays with me! The song was perfect for how she was feeling about her brother and it just took it to the next level. She did amazing, they all did amazing.

[trinaq]

That scene gave me so much life, and it's impressive to see how they accomplished it using the special effects and sets. It gives hope to many people who are also struggling, and how to overcome it with the help of your loved ones.

[zzzzzzz]

Taylor did the right thing by casting her in the All too well short film. Sadie's acting is very natural.

[MrTacoMan]

While Sadie deserves all the recognition she has been receiving, I hate how no one is mentioning the designers, artists, VFX, stunt doubles, director, music producer, and etc. who all contributed to this amazing scene. They all deserve awards!

[TheCalvilloFam]

I was literally sobbing the entire time. Especially when she’s running towards the boys. Seriously such an emotional episode.

[cultureshock]

That make Sadie’s acting even more impressive. She’s such a good actress.

[sarahcalvert]

I wish I could watch this scene for the first time again...from the amazing visual effects to Sadie's incredible acting (and, of course, Kate Bush playing in the background)... this is just perfection!!

[ahlamm-]

For those who don't know for something as big as this, Visual effects takes hundreds of people to do. Take avengers endgame for example, it took 1000 people just for visual effects out of the 15000 people that were employed. We need to recongnise and give praise to the crew of Stranger things just as much as do with the actors.

give Sadie an award, she really deserves it
