#Kairo - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I love horror films. What's your favorite horror movie moment?
Probably my favorite horror movie moment would be (MINOR SPOILERS) the dream sequence in Hereditary where the mother tells the son she didn't want to have him and waking up lighting a match with gasoline all over them.
Antrum s 1 minute of a close up of the devil s face and other disturbing elements
The Shining, when Dany rides the trycicle and at the end of the hall finds the ghosts of The Grady twins. Such an uncomfortable and disturbing scene.
Maybe the VHS in The Ring (the american remake). The idea of yourself watching a film within a film which you know that if you watch, you may die in seven days. By the time the movie came to home video, we still watched movies on a VHS platform, so the power of the metalanguage was even stronger. Even so, we have the movie itself, that is a surrealistic depiction of various (almost) unlinked BW scenes of a rural phantom area. It's a very profound way of making us fear the cinematic idea itself.
Hereditary, last act
“She walks”
*“Dear god”*
“There’s more”
*“No”*
Gold.
Got me good
“This is a bucket”
“Dear god”
“There’s more”
“No”
This has me cracking up 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
cant believe i got scared of a ghost doing the stanky leg
thank you for saying that bro that helps so much
this just ruined the movie for me
STFUFJCJ
Damn your profile i had to check my internet connection
No
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 CZcams without context
Not scary lol
The movie scene that still gives me nightmares to this day wasn’t in a horror film at all ironically
@@durs_coBlocking out context helps.
But aye I never watched it myself so what to I know.
@@olafjansowidz youre probably one of the people who think nothing is scary except for loud jumpscares that just startle you instead of actually scare you.
we have a sigma on our hands here@@olafjansowidz
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…
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
Guess she got possessed middle scene lol
She's probably afraid that she herself is capable of creating that primal fear.
@@adrenolife1460 I think she just didn't know how scary her performance would be until she saw it on screen.
Suffering from success
that’s actually so interesting, what a bizarre experience that must’ve been for her
Did anyone else hate it when he stopped talking? Like please come back, don’t leave me alone with the spooky lady
I couldn't agree more 🤣
yes 😂
Brooo you got me 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly lmao
Yeah
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.
Pretty sure the writer took “Go to sleep” from Jeff the Killer.
It was the "Kevin. Put the knife in your eye." My breath dropped. A twisted moment.
I could hardly finish that movie it got to me so bad, reminded me of too many childhood trauma’s. Great movie though!
I had to turn of Skinamarink after like 10 minutes of staring at a blank wall, I guess I just don’t get it lol
I haven't even seen Skinamarink, just watched some videos about it and stuff, and it is STILL the only piece of media to give me a sleepless night since I was a kid. Really well done. I will not be watching it fully through for this exact reason.
I really appreciate the juxtaposition of the stairway to safety in the foreground and the ghost in the shadows beyond. Escape is right there, but reach it, one would have to come closer to danger, which the man is unwilling to do. Nothing is trapping him, but the fear of trap itself.
Imagine if the actress legitimately tripped and the director just decided to keep it in
I swear you are following me
I saw you everywhere god😭
I thought I had figured out your algorithm but now I’m second guessing myself again
Good to see you bro
I met you... let me think... four years ago now?
what most American horror movies don't understand is that lingering creepiness and realism is more scary than one time jump scares and cgi.
That's understood everywhere LOL it's just that our movie industry milks what sheeple love to pay for.
@@potatopilot1699 Is it understood everywhere tho?!?!
@@potatopilot1699 naw.. I don't think Hollywood directors understand that. Even the best horror films in the US haven't used lingering creepiness and background horror to the extent and execution that's done in Asian horror.
@@mrii114 Because there no reason to do it, why making something better when you can do the bare minimum and still get majority of people praise from it?
@@sumirejr1 what are you talking about? Good hollywood horror movies are few and far between and only a handful ever get any praise. 1 movie every 5 years is ever any good after the early 90s
dudes, it's like, basically 1am rn and this scene got me looking everywhere around my room 💀
“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.
Bro yall pretentious af😭😭😭😭
"She's just standing there..MENACINGLY."
we're literally everywhere ahbsajhbchja thanks for easing my terrified ass my dude
WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO!
Underrated comment
ゴゴゴゴ
Careful, she might be a STANDO user
the scariest thing a horror movie can present is leaving you on edge waiting for a cheap jumpscare that will never happen
YEs, that's so true what he said: you're willing to forgive the cliche of the jump scare just to _get this tension over with please please please_
i.e. The Mandela Catalogue. Damn, does that ARG create tension!
That's why sinister was really creepy to me, it built tension in the final scene only to not happen. Then right at the end you get the one scare.
@@dylanjperri have you seen the walten files? You really need too its similar to the mandela catalouge
@@LerpzZ yes I have! I’ve been really into ARGs recently. I’m so excited that more are being released too.
Featuring no visual exaggerations, VFX make up and all that stuff. Pure body movement, atmospherical art. A true inspiration in filmmaking.
I can't believe a lady tripping over is the most effective jumpscare ever made
Whats scary here? i genuinely don't get it.
@@zat5176 yeah i don't get it either, i guess different people are scared of different things
@@zat5176 it's mostly a subversion of expectation/uncanny valley, as the video pointed out. The woman's movement was somewhat abnormal, like something's off. The sudden drop can catch someone off guard. Some on here mentioned that they thought the woman was gonna sprint at the guy or attack in some way but that didn't happen. But she didn't, which left them wondering, creating a sense of suspense and tension, which can cause anxiety or fear.
the fact the he said "there's no jumpscare, and it's quiet" made me relieved and worried at the same time
@@repentoryouwilllikewiseper8741 Will you dipshits stop it? If we were interested in your religion, we’d ask you about it, stop plugging it in a completely unrelated comment section.

when shawty got low i thought she was gonna start sprinting at me. damn near had a heart attack
I'm sorry but the fact you nonchalantly put shawty got low in there made the scene so funny for me
BRO SAME I WENT FROM 🤨 to 😟😟
@@advena688 💀💀
LMFAOOOOOO
If, in fact, shawty started sprinting after having gotten low, Reeboks with the straps would have been a wise decision in terms of footwear. Certainly, at least, superior to boots with the fur.
In an ocean of modern badly written, predictable, boring horror these gems are like fresh air. Thank you.
There’s more great horror than there ever has been. You’re just not good at finding it lol.
@@TheSCPStudio suggestions, please 🙂
You hit the nail on the head. If it wasn’t established as a scary scene, her walking and stumbling, could almost be a dance. There is a gracefulness to it. Even when she looks over the couch. She doesn’t have a obviously scary face, but she still looks scary
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
that pump fake got me good
Not just run at him it almost looked like she was taking a good look and sizing him up. It reminds me of my cat when he is "hunting" and toying with his prey.
ME TOO!!
Same. I just got that horrific pit of the stomach feeling
Legitimately all I could think is "drunk girl almost fell over!" followed by an internal chortle. If it was actually happening to me I might be frightened that she had friends with her waiting to mug me, but beyond that it's not really scary.
*starts walking*
"Okay yeah this is pretty scary."
*Begins to lean to the side*
"OH HELL NO"
Ikr like WHY YOU NEED TO GET LOW FOR WHAT
bro i just can't watch it, for real when she was on her 3rd step or so i paused it cause holy fuck how can a simple thing like this be so scary, gonna try to watch it tomorrow tho
@@Lucas-dj6ob same lmao, im stuck here what do i do
@@YRO. bro i watched the other morning and was like ok yk, just watch it when you're calm lol
@@Lucas-dj6ob It's 2am, I literally cannot sleep
The Director Of Kairo Knew.
23 Years Ago HE KNEW.
lmaooooo
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
I'm going full screen boys, wish me luck
im hiding in the comments currently, but i want to do the same
I hid as soon as she started doing that funny walk. Fuck that.
Good fucking luck you madman.
are you still alive mate?
we still haven’t heard back from this guy.. hope he’s okay
When she wobbled, i felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. Holy shit that scene is real
Now you mention it, I rewind for a few times, and I feel it every time...I think it's normal..right?
my heart skipped a beat and I don´t know why
666th like here!
Same here
SAME HOLU SHIT
Watching this again, it STILL gives me full body chills! Such a perfect analysis and just under ten minutes, well done!
I love how you completely have a unique approach to this scene. It's makes me focus more to the character the ghost carries
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
I think that’s exactly what freaked me out about it, I was thinking “wait what are you about to do wtf”
Same here, I was worried that stumble was the start of her moving to a full on sprint at the camera.
@@PandaBearBitches Holy crap, I was thinking the same thing. There is something truly terrifying about this scene. It reminds me of a dream. It's like I'm watching it and experiencing it at the same time. No music or sound; on edge but also in a sense feeling in control and safe. This scene evokes an interesting combination of emotions and thoughts.
bro i was just like "DAMN, SHE GAVE US A LIL STANKY LEG" ahdhhahds
is it wrong that i started wheezing when she did that? lmao
Plot twist: *she really just tripped on a pebble and almost twisted her ankle but tried to cover it up*
actress of the year LMAO
this helped alot in making me feel less scared, thank you HAHAHHAHHA
She squated like a pole dancer😆
she recover quick!
That what I thought. Ghosts can be clumsy too.
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.
Stumbled on your channel and you described this scene perfectly - fear inducing. I sat watching this video with chills running through my body.
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
No reply’s?
This explains why my monkey brain started freaking out
Uh, It looks like someone who can't walk in high heels tripping...
@@largecupenjoyer1459 yeah i feel like op is trying to find meaning in the meaningless
Exactly. Shock value like this is always better than any jumpscare
Na I think I’ll come back to this in the morning when the birds are chirping
Exactly what I did, saw this shit at 2am and I could not fucking watch it
I’m debating doing this.. did it work?
@@jaycook6639 he died :(
@@phantommagnolia definitely not a good idea then :(
@@Josh-dy4lq yup i’m literally in the exact position you were in 3 days ago rn i’m saving this and watching it later i can’t do this shit
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’ve always felt that the best horror depicts things that are familiar to us but skewed slightly. Take something very normal and add an irregularity to it, that’s creepy
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.
I literally jumped up as she got closer to him and he hid behind the couch. Fuck.
Everything about her is so close to normal but definitely not normal
like when ur in one of those dreams where ur running to get away from something thats terrufying you but even thoue your running you going super slow"
this film looks scary as
The brain is wired to feel a sense of danger if something is.. uncanny. It’s movements are normal ones we see each day but, not exactly in the way their supposed to be used. Which causes a sense of uncertainty and uneasiness, which I think this film did very well
When she started walking, it looked like an illusion--I thought the scene was going to be creepy because we don't know if she was moving forward or backward, and while we try to figure it out, she'd already be close enough to grab us
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.
so it has to do with primal instincts..
Add on to this. If you move a certain way while looking at yourself in the mirror, you'll freak yourself out. Your brain literally won't recognize itself for a second and see your reflection as a scary threat.
@@THETRIVIALTHINGS whoa really I gotta try this
@@Lizzieaftermidnight Make sure to move like a broken puppet or something inhuman and make the scariest sound you can think of, for added and prolonged horror and do it at night.
@@THETRIVIALTHINGS Brooooooo
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.
I’m a couple yrs late on this one, but the use of liminal space adds to the unease. That uncomfortable, disturbed feeling in the gut.
My personal fave is the ORIGINAL version of The Eye. It was a masterwork of every emotion. But the little boy, the shadow people, the girl that whispers “you are sitting in my chair”- then… no spoilers, but this is the ONLY FLICK that can still make me feel joy, sadness, scared, and actually one of VERY few that can even make me cry. I look forward to seeing Kairo- it is on my list of MUST SEE’s now! ❤ thank 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.
I don't get scared very easily but there's that infamous scene in The Poughkeepsie tapes where the killer crawls on all four while wearing a mask on the top of his head so that he reseambles some kind of weird walking mannequin. That thing terrified me, I spent days imagining the gut wrenching sensation I would feel if I saw that in my house, lingering in the shadows and slowly creeping towards me. That's what horror is imo.
There's a deleted scene in 'Alien' where the alien crab walks slowly for a few seconds. It ended up looking too much like a person in a costume so Ridley Scott cut it from the movie. I'd have to agree after seeing it since it does look more goofy than anything, but I can understand what he was trying to go for and appreciate him trying.
I wonder why we feel uncanny valley in the first place wonder if a dog or something gets it if they see another dog running about on two legs wonder if it’s evolutionary
@@blackkohi I'm sorry but I laughed my ass off when that scene played because it reminded me of filthy frank lmaoo
This, I feel, has kind of become a horror movie trope, so the fact that Kairo reached the uncanny valley with something so different and so similar is absolutely terrifying.
I think the scariest part of it is that she's walking so slowly, like she knows she's going to catch you.
That and her dress moves slowly, like she’s trapped in time. And also I ain’t fucking wit this vid I am terrified
She is walking so slow. I can't tell if she was waking backwards or even stepping towards the camera
I think the part where she looked over was even scarier
That's exactly what I find scary in most of horror movies. One of great examples is 'It Follows'.
Exactly. This scene evokes the same feeling of dread and terror that you feel when you have a nightmare during which you are trying to flee some kind of threat but your legs feel as though they are made of lead. You know you want to escape, but you know that escape is impossible and all you can do is pray that your end will not be as horrific as you know it will be.
thank you for dissecting this scene for us, i never would have known this terror unless you had made this video
Thank you. I really like this video, explain perfectly how I feel about the horror movies that scares me the most.
"And we see...a woman, standing still"
Me, turning my brightness up and squinting trying to see the woman
LOL
Me too😑
Irl there's no way I'd have noticed her probably at all, I don't have good vision in the dark. People say I'm like a horse because I'm big and startle easy so I'd probably end up kicking the ghost and apologizing profusely before I realized what was up
That's the whole point of the scene. It's so dark, and she blends in so well that you don't notice her until it's too late. Like a slow motion jump scare. You spend half of the scene looking for what you're supposed to be afraid of. When you finally find her, she's right in front of your face.
The worst part about this is how slow she walks. It's like she's mocking you, she doesn't need to run to catch up.
She just walks after you as you run away in terror. When you finally get exhausted or go to hide somewhere, that's when she'll getcha.
She's not just some ugly creature or spooky ghost. She's an intelligent wraith that waits patiently in the shadows. It's not about whether or not she'll get you, it's a matter of when. Running is just prolonging the inevitable.
*She walks*
“Please stay away”
*She does the thing*
“I just pissed”
Haha exactly dude
thats a lil sussy boy

@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 I don't think it's in this video, just search it up on CZcams perhaps.
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.
thanks for blessing me with this movie, it's now my all time favorite movie thanks to you
When something is terrifying like this, I try to imagine the director and crew all behind the camera during the scene
If I had been the director or part of the crew at that time, I would have been scared just the same. This is legit the most terrifying horror scene I've ever seen.
That's a cool trick, I'll keep that in mind!
Im doing the exacttt same thinngggg
I just pretend my blanket is an anti ghost force field!
it is probably not as scary as the movie, due to the fact that the team already knew the actress, they were seeing everything with more clarity and luminosity, and it must have been more noisy.
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
my first thought is that she needed help walking

@@Eeveefall i bet your the kind of guy that thinks it's not scary till it happens to you. Think about it. Put yourself in that scenario. Something that some people don't really believe in is just right there in front of you blocking your exit as it begins to walk towards you. And you gave absolutely no idea what it's intentions are. That's what this is trying to explain. That it let's you be part of what's happening.
@@zombiefreaktank Thanks for retelling me the scene. Do you get scared in transformers movies too? Think about it. According to your logic, it should be scary too because if it actually happened in real life your life would be in danger.
A horror movie doesn't work if it's simply supposed to be scary if it were real.
“Looks like she’s walking norm- oop don’t like that shit.”
The interpretative dancing kinda ruins the scene for me as far as horror goes imo. Real ghosts never try that hard (lol). But it seems more of an artistic intention to deviate from a traditional horror portrayal, which is cool.
"Oh yeah, I guess her walking that slowly is kinda creepy-- oh nope, fuck that."
@@user-fb8yb8so8n to me it seems more like a stumble which, when paired with the reveal of a calm face, makes it extra uncanny.

@@user-fb8yb8so8n Well, that's the thing. I expected that she would jump-scare right in his face after the move, but she didn't. It kinda sets me off when horror creatures are able to get to their victim instantly but choose not to because they know their victim can't escape anyway.

the scariest part is her face reveal. all the suspense , just to see a blank, emotionless, stone cold face . almost like that woman isn’t even human, but a non human entity impersonating a human. she appears to be human, but she’s not , as seen in the face
Brilliant analysis and review! Glad I found you. All the best!
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.
One the scariest thing is expecting a jumpscare and it wasnt there, you keep expecting it but it doesnt come out.
Tension is one hell of a drug
Yeah honestly I think the expectation of a jumpscare is scarier than an actual jumpscare.
@Vid Good luck man, I'm sure you'll do great. I do miss games like Silent Hill 2 that focuses more on using the atmosphere and tension (radio static) as the source of horror rather than jumpscares.
@Vid yeah but overdoing it and ending it with exactly nothing happen will make the experience anticlimactic, just some suggestion if you're really going to do it :)
@Heavyhead2k1 Have you tried the indie horror game Anatomy? That came to mind when you mentioned the expectation of a jumpscare. It’s a good piece to study if you want to make your own someday.
REMEMBER SHE'S JUST AN ACTRESS, GUYS. JUST AN ACTRESS. A REALLY GOOD ONE AT THAT.

Sometimes when I was a kid, I had to remind myself that these are actors as this is a movie they’re making. . .

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.
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.
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.
Meanwhile American movies. RUH RO RAGGY YOU TRIPPED ON AIR AND FELL NOW A SPOOKY MASKED DUDE COMES AND JUMPSCARES YOU 50 TIMES AND KILLS YOU RUH ROOOO
@@michaelc2472 it is, depends on your taste, the actual purpose of REAL horror is to make audiences express their uneasiness and projects what we can imagine or picture on what will happen. which some can experience Paranoia, claiming knowing what will happen.
in my Opinion, Kairo is one of the best of J Horror, this movie questions existentialism. an underrated gem.

I thought she was about to break into a crawl-run!!!
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
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
when she started walking I turned my volume down and went straight to the comments
You too
bum
I havent seen the movie, but its just a ghost waifu walking towards me. fuckin almost falls over so its pretty weak as well,.
It looks pretty chill, maybe it just wants to hang out.
Same I covered the screen and just listening to this fucked me up
YES MAN HAHAHAHAHAHAH it is not dark here but I feel so terrified
The calmness of the ghost is terrifying.
In most horror films, the jumpscares make it feel like there's a rush, that there are time limits...
The calm and slow approach just projects a feeling of hopelessness in this situation...
The ghost doesn't need to teleport behind you to show that you are screwed.
@Im Your Huckleberry yes really I think most people would be like just kill me in that situation
Bro she's legit blocking me from my exit. I'M SCREWED
@Im Your Huckleberry you are not wrong, just watched this movie with my cousin and it was lowkey a snoozefest
@Im Your Huckleberry well ofc it wasn't the scariest ever but if she kept walking and didn't trip or whatever she did then yeah it would be top 3 cause I watched a lot of jump scare shit and it's getting kinda old
@Im Your Huckleberry nah what's it about
watching this, how she walks, the music....made my whole body do something wierd. Haunting chills all over
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.
*"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-"
This cracked me up 😅
It's not scary
@@fennic6892 OK Mr. Big Boy
Yeah walking like lmao that's fine OK IM OUT NAH, NOT WATCHING THIS
sure thing bud
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
Naw bro she’s just hittin that stanky leg 💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@foofoobabyz on god 🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@foofoobabyz 💀💀💀
That’s actually a super good observation.. it looks like the moment before she lunges but the delivery never happens, so the anticipation never really relaxes. I couldn’t place why it felt so strange
@@foofoobabyz DA FAT STANKY
Thanks for sharing this, what a work of art.
I can't. I just can't deal with this scene. In that guy place, I would run in her direction asking if she's ok after that "crouching".
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.
Same
Same
This comment made me cackle. I too thought she was gonna full blown sprint toward the camera.
Consider my pants shitted.
Does anyone know who plays the ghost?
It would have been creepier if she started “walking” like that almost like a reverse exorcist walk
"It's what she does next"
My blind ass trying to see what she's doing
Damn fr?
turning up my brightness & everything 😭😭😭 out here squinting loool
Same lmao but I stil cant see it and got scared, removed my phone in front of my face, and yes i didnt see it lmao
"She's standing in the background" *turns my brightness up to full, squints *
@@georgia860 Holy shit, that works xD
No matter how many times I looked back to watch it I still got that tingle through out my body
The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. The party scene where the realization happens. Everyone’s looking at you not saying anything. No monsters. Smiling and non threading people…on the surface
"She... Walks."
Me: Yea. No f*cking thank you.
Lmaoo
Just like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers!
Yooo Chris it's chad
lmfao
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.
FACTS. When I first watched that film my fucking heart stopped. I love horror movies and they dont really scare me but that scene... god damn that huanted me.
Sometimes I still think about this face when I lie in my bed at night.
I couldn't sleep properly for two nights after that.... even actual movies categorized as horror doesn't have that effect on me. Parasite was just really disturbing overall
@@ariellazarte3669 props to the actor too, dude was creepy as hell
the scene in IT 2016 where there was a painting with a warped and distorted face haunts me to this day. out of the entire movie, that is the most terrifying scene in the movie.
haven't finished the video bc I just saw the scene for the first time and that was horrifying. It's the unnatural movement for me, as if something looks human but is failing to pose itself as a human being. The staggering like it's getting use to it's new body as it approaches you seemingly in slow motion, it's every childhood nightmare come to life.
When she almost fell my heart skipped a beat, felt like I needed to brace or run, because this tripping came so unanticipated that I had a legitimate fight or flight response XD
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
Damn, i was thinking the same thing
This. That scene messed me up. Straight up audibly gasped when I noticed her
I had to take a break from that movie after that scene. Probably the most jarring realization on a horror movie I've ever watched.
Wait what happened
@@tannaikamath773 I'm too scared I don't want to HAHAHAH
When she falls, that’s like a jump scare but worse
Slowest jump scare I've seen
Its a girl walking
I dont get it
Can someone explain why this is scary?
im not being facious, im genuinly confused
@@thegrandnil764 it's inhuman, unsettling
@@purplepickle1073 looks pretty human to me
@@thegrandnil764 everyone has a different reaction to different things. For me this was scary, I don’t know why, but it is.
Finally the title, seen this on late night TV a good few years ago. Channel 4 used to play random Japanese movies at like 2am on weekends. What a thing to watch stoned out with no context. Probably seen it like 10 years ago.
Will watch again, has held free rent in my skull since then.
I come back to watch this video a few times a year now. I like this as an episode of things I love.
She looks like it’s her first time wearing high heels.
Gotta leave a like out of respect for the pfp
nice legs
@@wob3786 as always
Tysm this made it a lot less scary
Dude she literally blocks the only entrance as she walks into the foreground.
That's what I was thinking too. She waited for the guy to back himself into a corner. It adds to the whole "predatory movements" thing she's got going on.
Exactly the reason for hopelessness
yea
didn't realize that cause half of my screen was covered the whole time. You just made it worse for me
Damn, that's an obvious and yet incisive observation. I think that even the viewer doesn't consciously realize that, still, the subconscious mental map of the place insinuates that the single entrance is now barriered off by the threat. I do believe your explanation sheds some light on the harrowing nature of the scene, your comment is quite interesting.
This scene made me burst off laughing the first time i watched this movie. It was scary till she walked. Lol
Usually the people who laugh at things like this incapable of empathy and deeper thoughts.
@@TheSCPStudio or hear me out.....i found it funny and took me out of the moment that built the suspense. Go Psychoanalysis someone who actually lacks empathy or actually lacks deeper meaning, not some strangers in the internet.
5:58
I personally think this is the scarier part. The way she stands there. Not like a human but a puppet or so.
The sudden increase in movement, the way the light gives slightly more visibility of the woman’s face, revealing the eye contact with the camera, and the silence of the movements make that small stumble so much more unnerving.
It wasn’t a stumble oh my god.
I've seen some "not so well" people in Baltimore and Philadelphia that strut way scarier than this, probably would be willing to take way less money also.
@@ashleyise6071 what would you call it? lol
Not even joking the stumble and arms beginning to flail made me pause it straight away and I'm sitting here now scared to play it lol
@@brendymcc7788 when i witnessed it i was afraid to pause because i felt like she would continue walking regardless
Everybody gangsta till ghost starts wobbling and tripping
@That’s One Smug Wojak I’m a cute dumbass tho :)
lol people really mad at a meme format nowadays
I love that all the rest of the comments are talking abt the design of the scene or how scary it is. And my mans out here just being himself (no matter how many times it’s used, it’s still effing hilarious)
@The One, The Only, The Official Mr. Troll Face Ooooooh you're so special, you're woke as hell looking at all the sheep. Get a life dude and just enjoy the joke. Stop being miserable.
@The One, The Only, The Official Mr. Troll Face Clearly the OP hurt yours. So don't start snow flake.
I couldn’t even edge to this, I exploded immediately!!! 😭 😂 Thanks for the video champ! clean up on isle my pants!
