@@matheusbevilacqua9079 the fact the alien looks so real. Big and green with a lanky build. It’s scary. Imagine seeing something like this in real life lmao
@@sgauden02 to be fair, the kid speaks 3 languages here in the video : "está atrás da garagem" "está atrás de ahí" "it's behind" so, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
The brilliance of this scene is that alien pops out of an area you could already see and it feels like he should have been visible before the big jump scare. On a rewatch you can make out his outline crouching there before the sting. It completely screws with your primeval instincts about scanning for danger -- separating predators from the surrounding jungle (notice how it kind of looks like a slice of vegetation *turns into him* rather than him pushing his way and emerging from deeper concealment). He's just green enough to blend in, you're not sure how deeply he was concealed in the leaves, and he comes out fast enough that your brain is jolted by being tricked into thinking you overlooked the spot where he was standing and staring right at you -- you mistook threat for surroundings and surroundings for threat which is about the worst mistake organisms can make. It's like having the rug pulled out from your nervous system.
Excellent point. You're absolutely right. It isn't the jump scare that haunts you but it is the confusion of your natural instincts that makes you spin in the head and feel vulnerable.
The screaming is what makes this scene so very effective. They are the kind of screams that come trumpeting out when you have completely lost your shit
@@every2464 I'm from that city, Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, the most bizarre is that are some voices from those kids with european portuguese accent, like from Portugal, that's bizarre 😂 doesn't make any sense
You don't have to show a pool of blood to cause terror, this is a masterpiece of psychological terror, it's inside your mind. From the moment he moves the chair closer to the television you can see the anguish on his face.
A guy in a goofy suit, peeking around the bushes, looking directly at the camera and doing a "bluh!" pose, before awkwardly stepping out of frame is a "masterpiece of terror"?
This movie isn't about frightening you (though it does that at times - the alien on the roof scene, Mel Gibson in the cornfield seeing the leg scene). As with all of Shamalan's work, this is a movie about suspense. And it's great at it. I love this movie.
This scene RUINED me as a child. I mean R-U-I-N-E-D me! I was so terrified of this alien and the way they showed it I couldn't do anything without a glass of water by my side! I remember every time I'd hear the crickets stop chirping outside, I would run inside the house even! I also screamed bloody murder when I saw my Grandpa's shadow coming around the corner. LOL! It still scares me today, but I can deal. xDD
+Johnny Campanella Hello sir. You do not know me. However I feel it would not be sporting to leave you uninformed. I will find you. I will wait until you are most vulnerable... AND I WILL WALK BY YOU
GuyUWishUWere Did you not read the part about the fact that I was a child?!?! LOL! And back when I was a kid, we actually had huge imaginations. I didn't need to see what the aliens in this movie did in order to fear them! I could imagine the horrible killings and torture of the human population. That is what is cool about this particular Director's movies. He leaves a lot to your own imagination and interpretation of what happened or is going to happen. =)
+Johnny Campanella But you said it still scares you today. Now don't freak out. I need you to go to your front door. Open it and face your greatest fear.
I watched this movie when it came out, and I was definitely too young to watch scary movies. I was afraid of aliens for the next four years, and I'm still really uncomfortable in the dark. All because of this scene. It got me, and good.
I love this film, and it scared me to death. Mainly because I thought it felt so authentic as if this is how people would really experience the situation and react.
It’s very easy to put yourself in that situation. Especially back 18 years ago. Just having the TV and relying on it for so much information and how terrifying it’d be to see this and know it’s real.
Everyone loves the idea of an alien invasion or a zombie apocalypse, but if it ever did happen, this would be the reaction. People freaking the fuck out
@@ianlaswick9505 these beings didn't even bring weapons for their ground troops.... so yes would be relatively easy to establish fire superiority over them. Look at how they attacked the house. Sent a few individuals with no weapons.
this was brilliant terror. I remember how I got so freaked out by this scene.It's not like cheesy horror movie frights...but was mentally terrifying! Brilliant stuff
Lol gotta love Shyamalan logic. Let's have the Brazilian kids speak Portuguese until that convenient part where they say something in English so that my audience can understand.
We watched signs in class when I was in middle school and a kid in my class snuck up behind another kid and grabbed his shoulders at the exact moment the alien jump scare happens.....I've never heard anyone scream that loud before lo
Seeing this in at a theater as a kid is one of my most vivid movie-going memories. The whole place let out a collective gasp when the alien came on screen. I'll never forget that
Thank you!! The collective gasp and terror in peoples voice was trembling. I’m sure all those theaters have similar stories of this movie. The corn field scene was epic to see in theaters. Everybody instantly scared
whether you like the movie or not, it's hard to deny the genius of this scene. Between Joaquin's acting, the music, the chaos, the children screaming, and the setting, the suspense level of this scene is off the charts. and yes I was also traumatized by this scene as a child🤣
@@virg0_lem0nade i think its a really niche type of scary, there are people like myself who are terrified of aliens for absolutely no reason and this scene captures all the bad feelings
@@virg0_lem0nadeit’s not a bad design. It’s a realistic design and I don’t think the CGI is that bad, I mean someone in a suit also did the walk. In the context of the movie it’s pretty convincing, and this movie captures realism of an alien takeover than I’ve never felt since I’ve first watched it.
When Shyamalan is on he's really on. This scene went over like gangbusters in our theatre. The person in the seat next to me grabbed my forearm in surprise when the alien walked across the screen.
This feels so real. I imagine that in the status of the scene imgaine being the dad recording that seeing what they as the characters are seeing. It is an incredible piece of cinema just for the fact that it makes you feel that even if you know its a movie you wander. What if that happened at my sons party at my nieces or nephews, just put yourself on that predicament for a few moments and youll be able to understand the impact of this scene.
"Their skin changes colors! That's why we couldn't see them that night!" (This reaction to the video always makes me think of that part shortly after lol. Brilliant movie).
movie that exemplifies WHY acting talent matters so much. Phoenix and Gibson make this movie worth watching, if it was run of the mill actors probably wouldn't have been as memorable.
This is scary, not because of the effects neither because the looks of the ET, it's the composition of the scene, the way it fits in the movie, the soundtrack and Joaquim Phoenix's amazing acting, all of this combined makes this one of the scariest scenes in movie history, in my humble opinion.
Someone seeing this for the first time today would probably not find this scary, but back when it was released, it was absolutely terrifying. One of the best jump scares in movie history
@@Smoerrebroed when you’ve watched the whole movie up to this point, and you haven’t fully seen the aliens yet, it’s fucking horrifying. The movie is all a suspenseful thriller, it’s the mind games that fuck with you.
The reporter lady was right, it scared the crap out of me as kid. I got the VHS tape for myself, and it showed it at my schools/classroom Halloween Party. It caused three adults to scream. It was glorious. The build up was perfect.
This movie traumatized me. When I was a kid, my mother invited me to see a "beautiful extraterrestrial movie" (E.T. was my favorite movie, so I got hyped to see Signs when she invited me). Terrible. In this scene, the reporter said that the footage was from Passo Fundo, Brazil (I'm also a Brazilian living in the south, same state of Passo Fundo, and I hate Shyamalan for this) and when the alien showed up my mom cheered me up with: "ok, now I'm scared". Almost 20 years and this aliens still haunts me, so I think this is one of my favorites horror movies, a masterpiece
I hate that when they have “spanish speakers” in movies they don’t even speak spanish! Most english speakers don’t notice anything wrong but it always makes me laugh
@@feedmeastraycat8247 Na verdade o menino não está falando espanhol, está falando em português já que a festa de aniversário ali supostamente se passa no Brasil. Mas sim, perde todo o sentindo da cena quando fazem a pessoa misturar os idiomas assim. Fica engraçado
I vividly remember being at the movies and seeing this movie advertised, and then begging my mom to watch it. I was told no, of course. Then a few months after that I saw the poster for the movie at a blockbuster I was at. I asked my mom to rent it for me, and again was given a solid no. When I began dating my boyfriend in 2014 (I was 21) he mentioned this movie to me and asked if I had seen it. I jumped with excitement and told him I had never seen it and had actually forgotten about it after all these years. But now watching it as an adult and STILL jumping at scenes like this one... all I have to say is thank you momma for not allowing me to watch this. I wouldn’t have slept for weeks.
I still remember the first time I saw this. I was about 12 and when the Alien appeared it felt like all of my breath was snatched out of me. It shocked me to my core.
When you get so scared you start to speak in english all of sudden. Seriously it aways bottered me as he said. "Tá atras da garagem,tá atras da garagem(it's behind the garage,it's behind the garage) It's behinnnnnd :p
This is one of those scenes that'll get brought up 30 years later as one of the best scares in film history, but nobody will understand what the big deal is because it needs like an hour's worth of context to work.
His reaction is a key part to this scene because I would react just as similar if I saw something like that a news cast. Granted there would be a lot more cussing involved. I would be walking around my house like "O hellll noo" and grabbing all my guns.
This STILL scares me 14 years later. I hated the movie, for the most part, but this was such a simply but horrifying scene. And when he turns around and looks at them...*freakout*
There's something unsettling about the way this footage was shot and the way the alien/demon was walking by, not even giving a damn that it's being caught on camera. We dont know what happened to them afterwards after this was shot makes it more scarier.
I was 6 years old when I saw this movie. I was so scared I hid behind my mom and didn’t even see the actual reveal until years later and it stilll scared me then. The music, the screams of the kids. Merill shouting. Then I saw it later as a teen and it still fucks me
I remember me and a friend were watching this movie back in the day. After this scene, we both were so freaked out that we turned it off and put something else on. Lol.
This scene burned into my brain as kid... The music, the reaction to what he saw, everything was spot on. Definitely chilling, because I feel it could happen one day.

The brilliance of this scene is that alien pops out of an area you could already see and it feels like he should have been visible before the big jump scare. On a rewatch you can make out his outline crouching there before the sting. It completely screws with your primeval instincts about scanning for danger -- separating predators from the surrounding jungle (notice how it kind of looks like a slice of vegetation *turns into him* rather than him pushing his way and emerging from deeper concealment). He's just green enough to blend in, you're not sure how deeply he was concealed in the leaves, and he comes out fast enough that your brain is jolted by being tricked into thinking you overlooked the spot where he was standing and staring right at you -- you mistook threat for surroundings and surroundings for threat which is about the worst mistake organisms can make. It's like having the rug pulled out from your nervous system.
Brilliant analysis, such an underrated comment.
Excellent point. You're absolutely right. It isn't the jump scare that haunts you but it is the confusion of your natural instincts that makes you spin in the head and feel vulnerable.

The score for this movie is one of the best I've ever heard - James Newton Howard deserved an Oscar for his work here, it's extraordinary.
1:02 When you spotted ICE
As much as this scared me as a kid now all I can think about is the scary movie 3 scene where the alien is projectile vomiting after drinking hahaha
God bless Joaquin. Such a genuine reaction
This is the best Shyamalan film in my opinion. The mastery of suspense combined with the thematical depth (even theological depth) is unmatched.
The Sixth Sense and Signs are brilliant
There's something unsettling about the way this footage was shot and the way the alien/demon was walking by, not even giving a damn that it's being caught on camera. We dont know what happened to them afterwards after this was shot makes it more scarier.
What made this scene scary was the music.
I was 6 years old when I saw this movie. I was so scared I hid behind my mom and didn’t even see the actual reveal until years later and it stilll scared me then. The music, the screams of the kids. Merill shouting. Then I saw it later as a teen and it still fucks me
When I saw this in 6th grade, I couldn't play by myself in my room for a year.
I watched this 7 times in a row just now. Every time, tears came to my eyes and I covered my mouth just like Joaquin. Sheer terror genius.
i think pheonix reaction makes this scene awsomer
This scene made me cry when I was 8 and kept me sleepless for a couple of days.
I remember me and a friend were watching this movie back in the day. After this scene, we both were so freaked out that we turned it off and put something else on. Lol.
My uncle made the worst decision to take me to see this movie in the cinema when I was a child. This scene marked me
This scene and the baby carriage in "Speed" are the two most memorable audience freakouts I've ever experienced in a movie theater.
This scene in the movie is still mind blowing!!! 😁❤️🤘
Ive always loved how the Alien was like...fuck, they see me.
Man the memories- this just freaks me out so much- this whole movie does- but the moral is GREAT at the end.
