Samuel Fisher
Heriditary when actress Toni Collette was able to switch emotion so fast when her husband throws the book in the fireplace. I aint never seen actressing like that. not even mattress actressing.
If you like horror/scary then I highly recommend that movie. It's not cheap scares, the whole movie is unnerving. Top notch cast
Chase King
Hereditary sucked tho
Dominic Lewis
Tyler Ross
>movie sucked because it's so good it became popular
>le epic contrarian posting
Colton Richardson
Any decompression scene.
Jayden Ross
Maybe in the past something did but what I really remember was when I was like 16yo and watched the Purge for the first time
youtube.com
This scene made me imagine I wasn't safe, the sirens while groups of psychos who were ready all year just to shoot homeless and unlucky fellows made me a little nervous. THen I remembered it was a movie and now I think it's really fucking great scene.

anotehr one was more just a phrase here in the beggining, In english i couldn't find it sorry but I remember when I watched the original dub it wasn't so powerful, but in Italian how they translate it and the voice actor screamed "WE KILL FOR GAS!" made me nervous and that only in the tilte sequence.
The last one that made me uneasy and well this happened while I was writing I rememebred this scene
youtube.com
Fucking hellraiser always made me feel nervous even as an adult, the only horror movei that make me feel nervous other I just watch and nothing else.
Nicholas Morales
This isn't scary because it has no root in reality and makes zero sense. Is it just a head in the stairwell? If so who cares, all it can do is stay there and seethe at you while you piss in its mouth. Is it a giant? How is it fitting in there? Did it break through the wall? Why? Does that mean there are dozens of people outside looking at the back of this thing pointing at its giant weird ass?
This is why monster movies outside of some very specific examples have never been successful beyond weird horror nerds. In order to be truly scary it has to have basis in reality. Even something as outlandish as a werewolf can be frightening if the monster represents something real, like the beastial nature of a man hidden away beneath the surface and unleashed unwittingly (there are almost no werewolf movies with this type of psychological approach, which is also why so few werewolf movies ever got popular; especially compared to vampire films which have all sorts of grounded movies featuring the horrors of vampirism standing in for mental disorders).
Nightmare logic horror is lazy and senseless and inherently less frightening.

This one because it hits me hard.
Ryan Rodriguez
don't think i've ever felt more feint/disgusted watching something
was probably because i was so young and hadn't seen too much gore at that point
yeah i agree it has to tap into something instinctual and intuitive... like was bothered by the purge maybe because he realized subconsciously that
>there are some very, very angry people around
>they're just looking for an excuse to kill
>they might even get that excuse one day
Jackson Gutierrez
This scene caught me off guard so fucking bad I haven't been able to watch it again. It's been 6 years now.
Brayden Thompson
the genital mutilation scenes (yes, both of them) in Antichrist
Jonathan Stewart
everything about this movie
Carson Brown
This scene from Parasite stuck with me
Julian Reed
The fact that the heads were still alive and checking out Dorothy made it so unnerving.
Ethan Thompson
Kino. Very similar to the final scene in Noroi in that both movies are just entirely setup for the very last scenes.
Sebastian Bailey
Jaxson James
peak comedy
Ian Perez
bump
Carter Cruz
Man that was brutal. Watching the soldiers get ripped out of their mechs and used for live experimentation by the unfeeling machines. Horrible fate.
Chase Turner
This will never not be scary to me
Wyatt Ward
stfu tranny
Ian Ross
The first Paranormal Activity unnerved me.
Most found footage films (even crappy ones) scare me more than actual horror movies do.
Luke Wright
the word unnerving doesn't really do it justice
Joshua Adams
Mirror room scene in Suspiria
Ryder Davis
reminds me of my sleep paralysis demon
Connor Taylor
Henry Cook
>If you like horror/scary then I highly recommend that movie
Joseph Harris
Also this scene
Bentley Ward
Source?
Carson Davis
>Nothing scares me. Horror is for trannies. Only s0is and c*cks get scared.
Isaiah Hill
Duel had tons of them. That feeling of helplessness in the face of danger, slowly coming to terms with that it's really happening.
I still jumped years after watching it when I heard a truck starting up in a lonely forest while I was out hiking.
Adam Wright
The last harvest scene from Threads.
Dunno why but out of all the bleak shit that happened in that film, watching half-alive silhouettes of people shuffling around a field trying to pull something edible out of a dead field while the narrator ominously states that this would be the last time combine harvesters would be used in the British isles really etched itself into my consciousness and I'm still not sure what to make of it.
Jack Clark
Why was the truck there?
Chase Anderson
The half eaten guy in Deep Rising.
Dominic Miller
It's not a horror
Lucas Walker
The scene from Fresh where Michael hangs Chucky's pitbull by a rope and shoots it dead, with no emotion at all.
Any scene where kids do brutal things for fun or nothing better to do. Ils (Them) is a good example.
Leo James
This got me good
James Walker
Dennis Weaver's character was so inept and annoying I ended up pulling for the truck driver.
Samuel Green
It was a part of the forest with some settlements. I was walking on the road towards the truck and everything was so silent, I thought it just stood there. Then the motor started up loudly while I was some distance in front of it.
My best guess is that it delivered something to the houses there.
Jaxson Johnson
Why are bright eyes in darkness so fucking scary
Justin Anderson
The show Millennium had a ton of great scenes that were unnerving. Even better than X-files in that regard.
Thomas James
why, my peenus weanus of course :)
hahah! :D
it's my weeeeeeenus peanus! :) hahah
ITT: Scenes from movies that unnerve me - my answer is, of course, my peanus weenus :D

Jonathan Taylor
big cats hunted us at night for millions of years
Jace Gutierrez
Ian Cruz
Flanagan the best modern horror master is what I'm saying
Zachary Scott
Anything when I'm high
I stg if someone gives me a knife when I'm high I'd start stabbing
Justin Lee
Imagine waking up to that thing in the corner of your room
I just gave myself goosebumps. I'm such a pussy.
Owen Perry
Second half of threads was fantasy anyway. Society would not be so destroyed. Not to mention entire functional countries would not have been hit
Easton Allen
Noroi and Lake Mungo are both so fucking good.
The shrine scene at the beginning of Noroi, where its like a Gaki no Tsukai show, but they actually run into a ghost. The buildup for that scene is great.
Austin James
Animatrix - 2nd Renaissance
Juan Jackson
i watched that with IEMs in the middle of the night in a dark room with my back against the door. probably the most kino horror moment since i was a kid. it's hard to get "scared" when you're older. it's best to set yourself up beforehand to get the most out of "scary" films.
Luke Gomez
duel doesn't get talked about enough... the fucking angles alone
truck driver is definitely a likable smartass like when he waved dennis through before the final battle
Charles Price
The scene where the young couple is scraping wallpaper off the walls of their new apartment, and a nuclear attack PSA comes on the radio and she just starts crying. Always unnerves me.
Liam Taylor
Nathaniel Young
cut him some slack, it was his first mad max road battle.
Luis Davis
Well it is based on the assumption that the theory of a nuclear winter is true. Threads also makes no effort to mention what's going on outside the UK after the news from Iran abruptly stop.
The fact is that even though there are many countries with no involvement with either major power during the cold war, many of them might still share enough land border with ones that do to suffer from ensuing fallout, and even the ones that don't do still have signifcant trade relations with them and the abrupt stop to global trade relations would undoubtedly wreak havoc on their domestic economies, forcing them to focus all their efforts to look after their own and they wouldn't even bother with foreign aid to countries that got completely wiped out like they did in this film.
For the purposes of the story, it does make practical sense to only focus on the plight of the British isles.
Oliver Price
Out of the whole movie, this fucking scene just got stuck in my head forever
Alexander Collins
>it's best to set yourself up beforehand to get the most out of "scary" films.
Absolutely
Watch alone in the dark when you're feeling particularly vulnerable. It's the only way to go.
Justin Evans
Help me bros
I can't get scared from movies, ever ever ever
But I get very easily scared from videogames
Jaxon Cruz
The scene in the Descent where the protagonist has a nightmare that a bunch of pipes(?) come through the window and smash into her face. I've refused to see that fucking movie ever since.
