    • @h3mera

      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.

      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.

      @@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.

      @@MrCmon113 she's implied to be some kind of apparition, spirit, entity, or force, rather than an actual person. The male character has just entered a space that, as you go through the movie, you understand is one of various "points of no return" once entered. The people that enter these places come out.... damaged, psychologically speaking, as if they have experienced or learned something so devastating and terrible that they are no longer capable of living, really, and do soon end up perishing themselves, disappearing into stains on floors and walls - an mere echo of whatever they once were. Obviously, she's not some giant buff guy with a chainsaw, but whatever happens to people in these places is implied to be something beyond understanding, beyond physical damage, irreparable, and inevitable, now that he's caught its attention.

    “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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @bellebonebag8096
      @bellebonebag8096 2 года назад +53

      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.

    • @bellebonebag8096
      @bellebonebag8096 2 года назад +37

      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.

    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.

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.

A human at least can be killed or run out of energy after a while. A ghost most likely has limitless stamina and can't be killed unless you have some magic. Unless you're the main character, you're dead unless you just carry around magic spells or have like one specific thing that shall remove the spirit which will be nearly impossible to attain.
