In this video I analyze the scariest movie scene that I have ever seen in my life, the introduction of The Moonlight Man in the 2017 Netflix film Gerald's Game, based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. This scene is truly terrifying, and one that truly freaks me out. So I decided to take a look at what happens in the scene, and exactly what it is that makes it so scary.

Also the way Joubert mockingly says "You're not real, you're only made of moonlight" was creepy too.

@haruruben 10 ай бұрын

In the book the Joubert was a normal man who happened to be tall and was a cold hearted psycho killer. The movie version he’s slightly more sympathetic, he seems like a mentally disabled man who had a hard life and was usually met with revulsion and hatred. He seemed excited to see her in the courtroom like she was an old friend, perhaps she was the only person who ever met him without revulsion and hostility.

What fucks with me the most is that in the trial scene the moonlight man actually looks pleasantly surprised to see Jessie, as if they are old acquaintances who happen to run into each other after a long time. This whole exchange suggests that Joubert has no comprehension of the gravity of his actions. His entire demeanour is surprisingly childlike, as if he sees murder and mutilation as an innocent game...

Completely agree! His reaction is so unsettling. I would definitely expect him to come off as more evil and sinister. It’s weird how happy he is. Also the part where he breaks the handcuffs freaks me out so much

@jakirakumahata5701 8 ай бұрын

Given the nature of his crimes and his characterization, it seems likely he was based off real life criminal Ed Gein (Who also inspired Psycho) for whom the sentence of "not guilty by reason of insanity" was codified.

Whats even scarier is that at the end it explains that he is a serial killer, that eats dead body’s, cuts genitals off of corpses and keeps them, has intercourse with corpses, and breaks into houses snd watches people sleep. And he was based on a real serial killer (ed gein). But whats even scarier is that they made him a metaphor for death

Ed gein didn’t break into people houses and watch them sleep and he also didn’t the bodies of the people he killed he tried to make a skin suit of his mom and had various “trophies he made” but he never ate them and he never claimed to have intercourse with any of them either. He’s only convicted of 2 (he was suspected of 7) but most of his mutilated body parts came from grave robbing.

I will be honest, the ending felt a bit disappointing. i agree with the notion that realistic horror is way scarier than supernatural/etc however I think movie would’ve left more of a terrifying impact if the audience were left guessing. scatter the clues that the moonlight man might be real, might be not and leave the audience forever wondering - well is he? but that’s just my opinion, tbh, I found the scene you discussed utterly uncomfy and creepy when i watched it. excellent video! love your one terrifying scene series!

This and your video on Inside really has me sold on the idea of cinematic darkness. It's such a powerful tool, as somebody with visual snow, dark spaces have this extra scary element to me. I really have a difficult time telling depth in darkness, so I used to be terrified of it as a kid, even as a teenager it was frightening. It's that tension of peering into the unknown, desperately hoping that your eyes don't fail you, that you see nothing, but you can't be sure, and that's the horrifying part.

Well done, you know I’ve only just discovered your work, but I have to say that you have something here. Oftentimes with KZfaqrs just starting, this is assuming you have zero prior experience with making videos/ writing scripts/essays/etc, there is a noticeable raw element and lack of refinement that suggests they may be talented but need to keep practicing. This is not something I see with you, if you’ve never done this before, you have a high level of proficiency in creating these videos and the ability to think critically about movies and the various scenes therein. Anyway, I just felt like telling you this, whether you see it or not I just like to compliment people when I think they’ve done something well and if you do see it, well it’s always nice to be told you’re doing something right lol.

When it was finally put in a museum a woman snuck in at night to sketch it. As the entombed man was lying on his back and facing up she sketched. As she finished she looked up and the head was facing her. Me and my younger brother got in the same bed as was our custom whenever a Saturday night horror movie really scared us.
