ORIGINAL: Rob_Gordon a lot of great scares have been mentioned here. The Eye really comes to mind as a movie that scared the bejesus out of me. I don't know if this has been done elsewhere, but when I saw the film in theatres, it had the most horrible opening moment ever: The film begins normally, opening logos and everything, until suddenly the film appears to burn and snap. Even the damn lights came partly back on. So theres me, getting up already, looking around with my then date for the reason when BAM! the damn faceless woman seen in the trailers bursts on the screen with a horrid bloody scream and the lights go out, followed by a text: Enjoy the cinema experience. Both of us not only screamed our lungs out, but stayed impossibly quiet - still trying to steady our heartbeats throughout the entire movie. Also, The Decent. The scene where the main character wakes up in the middle of the night, goes to the window, hears a young girl giggle when CRASH! a fucking ten foot metal pole comes soaring through the window, driving into her skull. After that, it was back home for a change of underwear. And it certainly wasn't the last scare of the film. And even if I hate the films of David Lynch, the moment behind the cafeteria in Mulholland Drive scared the bejesus out of me, even though you knew it's coming there's something deeply unsettling about that single half a minute that drove me out of my room and into the living room where my family were entertaining my relatives. I couldn't return to watching the film for a good hour, I was too damn scared. After that though, the film just became horrendously pretentious, but that single scare is incredible to this day. Do I have to mention the scene in the lift?
