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

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

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

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

This is genuinely the only horror scene I've ever seen that still manages to be scary as fuck while watching it in broad daylight on KZfaq without context

“She walks” *“Dear god”* “There’s more” *“No”*

Imagine if the actress legitimately tripped and the director just decided to keep it in

They did a great job with her movement. From the actress walking like an entity that’s trying to mimic human movement, to the editing and lighting. What a great scene…

dudes, it's like, basically 1am rn and this scene got me looking everywhere around my room 💀

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

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

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

“Terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening, while horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing” I think this scene absolutely nailed uncanny terror, the feeling of dread at the ghost and the anticipation of something to be loud and sudden. When uncanny is done well, it can be scarier than any jump scare, it’s that sense of familiar but just offsetting enough to be scary that this scene does really well.

what most American horror movies don't understand is that lingering creepiness and realism is more scary than one time jump scares and cgi.

*starts walking* "Okay yeah this is pretty scary." *Begins to lean to the side* "OH HELL NO"

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.

Featuring no visual exaggerations, VFX make up and all that stuff. Pure body movement, atmospherical art. A true inspiration in filmmaking.

When she wobbled, i felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. Holy shit that scene is real

“Looks like she’s walking norm- oop don’t like that shit.”

I hate how slow her walking is. It looks almost like she’s speedwalking but stuck in slow-mo. Like she’s in water. And then when she swoops down it looks like she is about to sprint towards the camera, but then she goes back up and does the slow walk again. I hate it. Her movements are so calculated but unpredictable. And her expression at the end. It’s terrifying. She truly looks like a human. A perfectly normal human. But something about her face feels wrong. Maybe it’s the lack of emotions. Maybe it’s the slow, smoothness of her movements. Maybe it’s her glittering eyes. It feels like a corpse is moving.

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

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

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

In an ocean of modern badly written, predictable, boring horror these gems are like fresh air. Thank you.

The Director Of Kairo Knew. 23 Years Ago HE KNEW.

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

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

When I first saw "A Tale of Two Sisters" I was also fairly desensitized to the horror formula and jumpscares etc but there's this one scene where we watch from the bed at night as an ambiguous character enters the room and just approaches the bed so so slowly while being barely visible. First time I'd seen anything like it and this scene takes me right back to it

Watching this again, it STILL gives me full body chills! Such a perfect analysis and just under ten minutes, well done!

She was just standing and then started walking, scariest shit I've ever seen

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

Great breakdown! I love a really good, lingering shot in a horror film. You expect the camera to cut away after a second and when it doesn’t, you get a second wave of terror and dread.

Thank you so much for talking about this scene! I have been obsessed with this scene and trying to figure out why it scared me so much more than anything I've ever seen in a movie.

"And we see...a woman, standing still" Me, turning my brightness up and squinting trying to see the woman

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

Stumbled on your channel and you described this scene perfectly - fear inducing. I sat watching this video with chills running through my body.

This is me before the video: happy, calm, curious, kinda sleepy Me after: scared of my hallway, intrigued, horrified with the way her face slowly entered the frame

Plot twist: *she really just tripped on a pebble and almost twisted her ankle but tried to cover it up*

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

I gotta say, when I saw this video and your analysis on the scene, I wasn't scared. But when I left my room to go to the bathroom, in the dark, it was actually kinda terrifying and I couldn't stop thinking about the lady.

I love how you touched on jump scares, so many modern horror movies rely on it and it’s the exact reason I despise the Conjuring movies. It is an effective way to momentarily raise your heart rate, but not effective in the sense of a lingering or lasting terror which I believe a horror movie should accomplish. This brief scene you’ve shown literally gave me goosebumps and terrified me to look around my currently dark room.

I think the scariest part of it is that she's walking so slowly, like she knows she's going to catch you.

See, this is why, in my opinion the most terrifying thing is humans walking on all fours. They're human, sure, but there's just something.. wrong about it. Like your brain thinks it shouldn't be happening, the uncanny valley is wayy scarier than the normal stuff horror uses.

Bro this is amazing, i like that you're paying so much atention to important little details

this is the first video i watched from you and i had to say, you are amazing. A true movie fanatic. Thank you for being you.

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

*"It's what she does next that's truly terrifying."* Me: "what" *"she walks"* Me: *laughs* *"and she walks like this"* Me: *watches* "oh... oh hell nah what-"

thank you for dissecting this scene for us, i never would have known this terror unless you had made this video

Brilliantly unpacked, thank you! You've earned a sub!

She’s moving her arms like she’s running, but she’s walking, but she’s walking in slow motion, some how she still seems too fast.

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

Brilliant analysis and review! Glad I found you. All the best!

I subbed, great narration and content I haven’t seen before. Thanks Holy cow that was cursed, I haven’t felt or reacted to a scary scene from a film in a very long time.

I'm going full screen boys, wish me luck

*She walks* “Please stay away” *She does the thing* “I just pissed”

thanks for blessing me with this movie, it's now my all time favorite movie thanks to you

Just discovered your channel and this video. Such an incredible breakdown. Thank you for your work!

Never thought that ghost almost tripping like a drunk made me scare silly

I fucking love horror like this, not a jump scare but a very intimate moment where the horror just stares at you while you stare back at it. Such a quiet but shocking moment. Korean and Japanese horror just have it on point.

I know you will likely not see this comment but I want to come back a handful of years later and say thank you so much for making this video. 回路 quickly became my most favorite movie of all time. and I've never been able to fully articulate to my friends & family why it's so perfect to me. It's just this beautiful cacophony of turmoil and misery and it makes me want to watch it again just thinking about it. On one hand it sucks that it's such a niche movie because I would love to have material items to express my admiration for this movie but on the other hand it's cool to have something so awesome that not very many people know about. Suppose I should actually get a grip on learning Japanese and tell this to Kurosawa lol, but I would have never known about it had I not seen this video.

I think this was the perfect movie to watch past midnight right before I go to sleep. Thank you so much! You were right! This is one of the scariest things I've ever seen. Oh my god.

when she started walking I turned my volume down and went straight to the comments

One the scariest thing is expecting a jumpscare and it wasnt there, you keep expecting it but it doesnt come out.

I had recalled watching this scene and parts of this movie back in the good ol h.s days. A friend had introduced this to me. But then I had completely forgotten about it except its uncanniness must have stayed with me somewhere in the subconscious. And here your video popped up almost two decades later. About that specific uncanny scene which I had all but forgotten about.. Crazy, and amazing at the same time. Thanks for the upload - very well put together. And agreed - perhaps the scariest scene of all theater of all time.

Well done! True horror really does lie in the unknown. The genius usage of dimly lit surroundings, small enclosed spaces and using realistic elements gave me the absolute chills for weeks after i watchdd Kairo. Would NOT recommend for those who have a weak heart.

Y’know, I was fine until she dipped. When she dipped, I lost it.

I didn't scream, i didn't flinch but my heart just stopped for a moment and my body instantly get warm this was the scariest shit i've ever seen.

I haven’t seen the scene and haven’t started this video yet but even just the descriptions everyone is giving are freaking me out

Man I totally forgot about this movie and that scene Def a Masterpiece and happy you brought its genius back to me keep up the dope work

Not a horror film, but that one shot of the “ghost” peaking out from the cellar in Parasite will haunt me forever

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

Still didn't convince me that it is scary, but the weird walk was kinda funny

Simultaneously terrifying and goofy as hell. I love it

REMEMBER SHE'S JUST AN ACTRESS, GUYS. JUST AN ACTRESS. A REALLY GOOD ONE AT THAT.

That scene from Parasite, when the kid saw the old man slowly inch his face above the basement stairs scared the shit out of me. All you can see is the whites of his eyes in the darkness around him.

Thanks for sharing this, what a work of art.

Edging a jumpscare is CRAZY 💀

this one scene in hereditary does a similar thing- where the mother’s on the ceiling. the camera focuses on her son and when you notice it your heart sinks

"It's what she does next" My blind ass trying to see what she's doing

I couldn’t even edge to this, I exploded immediately!!! 😭 😂 Thanks for the video champ! clean up on isle my pants!

The diner scene of David Lynch’ Mulholland Drive is also one of the scariest in my opinion. The way David Lynch can turn a bright sunlit place into such a tense and frightening scene is amazing. That buildup is incredible.

i love how almost everyone had a heart attack when she stumbled

Umm...this was terrifying

Again you proved to be best bro. I love your thinking and choices of horror movies. Your detailed explanation is just excellent.... Keep it up brother....❤️

That's good! Nice explanation. I've never watched this movie, but I immediately understood this scene. It's like your nightmares, literally!

that scene is brilliant, her wobble almost looks like shes winding up to sprint towards the fixed camera then she straightens back up. Its literally toying with you, going from an uneasy sense of threat to imminent danger... then confusion from the ambiguity of whats going to happen

"It's what she does next that's truly terrifying." "And what may that be?" "she walks" "Uhm... uh...?" *"and she walks like this"* " Wait... _WAIT WAIT NO OH GOSH_ "

Well I have this thing where I distinctly remember images in my head with a lot of detail. Sometimes it’s really helpful like remembering numbers or locations. I rarely forgot where things are or how to get somewhere even if I only took a route one time. But then there’s time like this where I see something scary and my brain just so happens to memorize every single detail and now I don’t think I’ll ever forget it 😭 a blessing and a curse for sure.

Well presented mate, great video

"She... Walks." Me: Yea. No f*cking thank you.

"She's just standing there *M E N A C I N G L Y* "

Great video man

very nice analysis. thank you

when she got low my fucking heart dropped

She looks like it’s her first time wearing high heels.

I watched this movie for the first time a few days ago and am still thinking about this scene, i've seen so many horror movies over the years it really takes something special to get me and this one got me good. it's easily the scariest ghost i've ever seen in anything.

Thanks for introducing me to this movie I'll try to watch. Your video is well made. Thank you.

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.

Me: C'mon! It can't be that scary. *ghost does the stanky leg* Me: 😓

Dude, that intrigued me so much I wanna watch it now
