This is the scariest scene of all time. I shit my pants every time.
>>71729222
It freaked me out when I was 12
>>71729222
I laughed and turned the movie off right there
>>71729222
Did you know the actor playing the alien had a automobile accident on his way to film that scene? He rear ended a car because he was drunk and killed both people in that car. After he filmed that scene He was arrested and now lives out his sentence in jail. Also nice trips. Check mine.
>>71729222
Is this the scene where people are shouting in plain daylight and the camera suddenly points to this monster?
That scared the crap out of me
>>71729438
It's at a kid's birthday party iirc
>hasnt seen mulholland dr
>>71729438
ISS BEHIND
I think we all have a deep primordial fear of looking out the window and seeing something not-quite-human slip past our field of vision.
I know I do.And if I fucking see it and it knows I saw it then it will try to kill me.
>That's why he had asthma. It can't be luck. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed. No poison got in. No poison got in. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed.
>>71729529
Given thatdemonsare actually real you're probably too dangerous now that you figured that out. Rip in piece though
>>71729222
This scene scared the hell out of me when I first saw it. Now I'm a big guy and I can clearly see why it is so effective:
1. The warning from the TV news anchor: "what you're about to see may disturb you". Who wouldn't normally be startled after hearing this?
2. The realistic, low-quality footage (well, I'm Brazilian and immediately noticed something odd about their spanish-esque pronunciation, but it didn't interfere at all with the final result)
3. The sound of the children screaming. What a great idea to place this scene in a children's birthday party, by the way!
4. Phoenix's reaction and expression.
5. The low key, repetitive soundtrack in the background.
This is why I think it's a brilliantly crafted horror scene.
>>71729571
yeah but they can't physically harm you....r-r-right?
>>71729571
>demons
>cloven feet, damaged by water, no fucking clothes/tactics despite alleged status as interstellar travelers
>protagonist is a troubled priest who lost his faith
>movie is called SIGNS
Boy do I feel slowpoke.
>>71729222
Yes, scariest for small children. If this still frightens you perhaps literally you're still a small child.
>>71729614
>water in a priests house is their weakness
>holy water
>>71729592
Not sure but you're about to find out
>>71729640
I guess it would make sense for only blessed water to work, otherwise they should have been in constant pain/smoking due the humidty.
>>71729586
It was a NOPE moment as a kid.
>>71729616
I had to turn the lights on to be able to read this thread.
Am I the only one?
>>71729545
Why do people pretend to hate this movie again?
I understand why they pretend to hate Lady in the Water, but not this.
Why are skinnyfags so much scarier than large or fit monsters?
Do we subconsciously associate skinny threats with a starving predator or perhaps a dangerous wasting illness? Do spindly motherfuckers just look naturally more agile with a longer reach? Look at slenderman, you add an extra foot onto a dudes limbs, hide his face and suddenly you have le terrifying memester.
Maybe us manlets just have trouble associating something tall with ourselves, I know when they cast the guy for the xenomorph suit in Alien they specifically went for some 7ft+ freak.
>>71729400
How come this never became a meme?
>>71729614
Reminder that fan theories, no matter how satisfying, do not make up for M. Night's shoddy film-making.
They were aliens.
>>71729712
I don't. This thread has made me want to re watch it.
It's a shame though that I saw Scary Movie 3 before seeing this. Maybe if I watched Signs when it originally came out; it would have scared me more.
>>71729731
(You)
>>71729222
It's far worst if you are brazilian/portuguese speaker. In american movies brazil fags always speak spanish or have an weird accent.
So, you are expecting then to talk like "Mira, es uno rabujo" but then the children begin to scream in perfect portuguese "Ali! Ali! Olha ali!" and you go "WTF this shit is real?" You are just thiking about an then the alien appears.
Nope man, just nope.
>>71729712
Agreed, truly not a bad movie. Mel is based, so is Joaquin.
>>71729222
>Implying this wasn't more of a spook
>>71729728
It did.
>>71729731
Of course they were. But God still exists, which is why He made the daughter picky about water, why He made the son so bad at baseball, why He gave the boy asthma.
MNS literally solved the theodicy, via art, and the atheist media mock him.
>>71729725
Being thin is unnatural.
>>71729702
This does nothing for me. There's probably a few times when watching the movie Creepshow, when the hand comes out of the ground that made me jump a few times.
Usually after the first time, after knowing the music ques in the shock effect it doesn't scare me anymore.
Movie shit, gets me maybe one time, and that's all. Rarely does it do it more than once.
Don't mind me, just dropping off some nightmare fuel
>>71729815
>>71729222
The scene with the reflection in the TV was spookier for me.
Made me look away when turning on my TV of a morning for about a year.
>>71729845
This still creeps me out and is the image I default to when looking out my window every night.
Oh God, I forgot how terrifying this flick was. I'm LITERALLY having heart palpations as I write this post.
OP's image triggers me
>>71729845
>Aliens just wanted to learn of Earth's farming prowess in order to save their dying planet
>Mel cuts off their fingers
They even specifically attempt to nonviolently steal an immature human larva of the male genus to limit the impact on the farmers colony. Humans are greedy as fuck.
>>71729586
Because Shyamalan was a genius all the way through The Village then he went full retard. The scene is effective because he knew exactly how to craft the scene.
I didn't think The Visit was too bad but it was ok.

>>71729901
Fuckin this, i see in the catalog and hided for no reason.
>>71729886
this x 100
Is it a meme to pretend that this film is scary?
>>71729731
Reminder? What are you talking about? The entire movie is about him finding his religion again. How is the main theme of a movie a "fan theory"? You're an idiot.

Any video games as spooky as Signs?

Metro 2033 had a signs like moment
>>71729949
Signs came out at a bad time post X-files conspiracy where people legit think everything was aliens
It would have done well in the Exorcist era and would be well regarded as a demon film.
>>71730003

No not really, just honesty.
Pretending to still be scared of something that causes no actual threat of physical harm seems just what it is - pretending.
>>71730446
>that causes no actual threat of physical harm
Source?
>>71730467
How does a movie on screen physically cause you harm? Does it come out of the screen, and touch you physically? If not, then it cannot physically cause you harm.
If seeing it, you react that is you not the external screen doing anything to you physically.

VAMANOS CHILDREN!
>>71729222
Never understood why people found this particular scene so scary.
>>71729725
Maybe it's easier for skinny fuckers to be closer to that uncanny valley territory than fit monsters. You see a ripped demon or cave troll and you're scared in the same way a tiger scares you. "Huge threat, big guym extremely painful, etc.". Slenderman isn't just thin, he's human-but-not quite, which triggers a different kind of fear reaction. Why there's an uncanny valley in the first place I would pay good jewgold to find out
It was honestly a freak accident that the scene was so startling. Obviously it was crafted to be that way but it being better than other good "jump" scenes wasn't director skill, just luck
>>71731160
>Why there's an uncanny valley
Fear of ambush predators? I'd say any living organism should be naturally adverse to anything that resembles themselves yet is slightly off. Anything that camouflages to get close to what it's imitating can only be seeking to hunt.
>>71731180
>something that is good that is done on purpose is just luck
Is that what you tell yourself to justify having no job, dropping out of college, and beating off to celeb's Snapchats while the rest of the people your age have actual experiences?
what did all those birds fly into if it wasn't an spaceship
>>71729222
i get the feels when watching this alone at night ;_;
>>71731553
Gospel of Mark, 11:
>Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
Think about it.
>>71730995
fucking this, i wish i could see out without people seeing in.
>>71729750
It does a fine job of building up suspense, even though the aliens are retarded. Why invade a planet that's mostly covered in & depends on water if it's toxic to your people?
>>71729347

Is this really a thing in America?

In really old houses, yes. You can barely fit a pinky underneath interior doors in my house.
>>71729545
wtf were the aliens or demons game plan?
I dont understand what is scary about it.
The "MOVE CHILDREN" is especially stupid, who does that to their TV?
I guess it's the same phenomenon than with the scene behind the dinner in Mulholland Drive
>>71731722
Who is this colossal faggot that curses a tree because it doesn't have fruit out of season?
>>71729222
>>71729845
this will never leave my head looking out a window at night
>>71729222
Why would a naked alien just strut along the street?
>>71729673
Yes, but IIRC, the film has news reports from all over the globe illustrating their water weakness, and how humanity used that to drive them away.
I'm curious, is there any substance that is generally harmless to us as a vapor, but not as a liquid? As you can tell, I'm trying to find peace with how water vapor in the air did nothing to the film creatures, but liquid water did.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>71734117
Probably because it's FUCKING STUPID
>>71731408
interesting theory
I have seen this thread so many times before and I'm still not sure if it's an elaborate meme to claim this scene was scary
>>71729529
More like looking at the mirror.
>>71734117
Nitrogen makes up a large chunk of the air we breathe and is completely harmless, but liquid nitrogen frostburns you instantly. Then again, nitrogen doesn't liquify unless you cool it down a lot or pressurize it.
>>71729586
As a 9 year-13 year old kid I was immensely scared by Aliens and this movie gave me nightmares along with the abduction squirrel scene from Spielberg's series taken which started it all
>>71729222
>no one's posted the lake scene from zodiac
https://youtu.be/yIqBE1EgyuY
>>71733959
Yes, for me it's the exact same feeling than Mr CrappyFace in mulholland drive.
They just know how to build tension
Note that those scenes have far less impact for people who havent seen the movie
>Tfw tried to watch this scene on my iPhone

Glen's death scene is what got me when I was a kid.
I was like six years old when I saw it, and I literally slept on the floor that night. In retrospect I love that scene though, and it's what helped spark my passion for horror movies and making movies in general.

Doesn't really make sense. Fruits on fig trees come before the leaves. That tree is borderline useless, why curse it? Seems he is trying to prove something to the disciples.

>>71735933
I just watched number 2 for the first time. Holy shit how did they fuck that up? The homoerotic tones were literally all the movie had going for it that worked but how do you make a horror movie and not put the lead in any perceived danger?? They had a god tier twist that they squandered for no reason.
>>71738137
It was a rushed production, and they were trying to churn out a sequel as quickly as possible after catching lightning in a bottle with the original film.
While the movie was a success financially, they realized that they fucked up though and tried a bit harder with the next installment. Even went as far as to try and get Wes Craven back, even if it didn't pan out.
There's actually a whole documentary called Never Sleep Again about the production history of the series that covers all of it. I recommend it if you're into that sort of thing, it's like four hours long but it's really interesting.
Also, be sure to check out Nightmare on Elm Street 3 if you haven't. It's fantastic.
I honestly and completely unironically like Signs. I think it's really a great movie. I wouldn't even really consider it a Horror movie so much, but a very good thriller.
>>71729222
I don't get this scene and that scene of the alley hobo in Mulholland Drive. Sure they're neat little "reveal"/jump scenes, but they've never stuck with me how some people seem to let them
>>71736021
Everything from the action music to the hero quipping to the presence of children in the scene to the monster being vaguely intimidating but not posing an actual threat is classic capeshit.
>>71738231
i'm going through Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm st
im trying to keep it balanced so i can meet in the middle at the crossover. I also want to see what went wrong with the series, since i watched the reboots first.
I'm just pissed because i think 2 could have been as good as one but they didn't think it through. I mean if you are going homoerotic subtext and internal struggle, there are much better, more subtle ways to do it
>>71729949
>>71730012
They literally talk about and show UFOs in the movie, fucktards.
>>71738319
The homoerotic subtext thing was kind of unintentional. The writer thought he was being a cheeky fucker by putting it in, and the lazy director for hire they got that didn't give a shit and the greedy studio execs were in such a rush to get it out that nobody caught it (except for the gay lead actor) until it was too late.
Kind of funny actually.
>>71738600
wow that's sad, I thought it was the only thing propping the movie upi'm a fag so i might be biased
That's pretty sad actually
>>71738600
Here's how i would have done the movie
>make the opening bus scene a bit less over the top
>when he meets Freddy and asks "what do you want" he replies with "YOU" and scratches him before he wakes up
>make him and the gym teacher seem in danger and the gym teacher dies
>when he's about to fugg his girlfriend, she turns into freddy, not him.
>reveal that he is freddy at his friends house before killing him
>instead of attacking the pool party, he attacks and kills Kerry when he refuses to kill Jesse.
>the plot then switches heavily to Jesse's POV until the end
>He kills Jesse but survives
>make the ending like the first one where he rejects freddy and gets his friends back but then dies.
>subtly imply that he's with his Ron and not Jesse to keep the gay subtext.
that's how i would have started to fix it, at least
>>71738369
>what is a metaphor?

What movie is this?
>>71739310
enjoy anon!
>>71734476
yeah this scene gets me
>>71729712
Lady In the Water is comfy as fuck. The idea of using an apartment complex as a setting, feeling like its own little world was brilliant. Shame the movie is let down by the story, it could have been really really good.
He suffered from the George Lucas issue of having complete creative control, he needed someone to balance him out a little.
>>71730064
The problem with the "they weren't aliens, they were demons!" theory that you all keep forgetting is the SPACE SHIPS
The truth is they were both aliens and demons. The whole basis for them in this film comes from those nutjobs that think supposed alien visitations, sightings and abductions are all done by demons.
But having a space ship? Not being native to Earth? They're both aliens and demons since that's what demons are by our definition already.
>>71729545
So poetic.....
Shamalan make pottery like George Lucas.
>>71729347
Is this true?
Gotta love this one desu...
>>71740679
I'm the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, and I do believe that statement is dubious at best.
>>71729222
This scene shat me up so bad when I saw it, thought I was the only one...
>>71729241
This, my friend and I actually grabbed each other and screamed
>>71729222
I don't mind the film but in all honesty this scene didn't freak me out even as a kid.
This and the silly kitchen scene were the only 2 scare moments that left me cold. The rooftop alien shenanigans and basement sequence stole the show for me.
>>71729712
it's true, lady in the water was the downfall, but it might just have been not my style. i liked the village too, there was no real twist, except for the animals as played by the retard sounding like a beast, but that was the twist. not them in a preserve that was stated in the start....
it's kinda pleb filter.
>>71729586
HUE HUE
This shit me and my friends right up when we saw it at the cinema
never been more scared by an alien coming out from behind a bush
>>71729545
wouldn't at least a little poison still get in? I mean if the kids lungs were completely closed that whole time he probably would have suffocated and died from lack of oxygen.
>>71729222
Alien movies were all that scared me the whole time I was a kid. I saw the old Was of the Worlds when I was 5 and was scared of aliens for the rest of my childhood.
Signs was my favorite though. I wanted to watch it even though I was scared. It's a comfy kind of scary.
Too bad Shamalama poo in loo only had two good movies.
