Is this the best build up of tension in one scene ever?

[Dr.HannibalLecter]

Brilliant directing

-the sound design and camera work
-Dan's acting
-the fact that it's scary in broad daylight

Lynch

Spoiler

Btw, Entrance = en trance = in a trance

yo when you mentioned david lynch.. I KNEW THE EXACT SCENE you were talking about even before the video pic loaed..defly one of the scariest scenes from a non horror movie

 

[MrFirst2doit]

[Rominati]

That whole movie was , shyt fukked me up fo reals.

 

[Box Cutta]

OP, that's a great choice. Hard to argue against that really...it's probably the greatest jump scare ever.

If we are talking strictly building up tension, another scene that deserves kudos is the blood sample scene from The Thing :



Carpenter is likely the most underrated American director ever because he mostly did straight horror. But cot damn did this dude know how to write a scene. You KNOW that at least one of them test is fukked but you've no choice but to anxiously wait and find out which one.

A crazy mindfukk moment of that scene too is the food on the table.

Peep it at 3:23 and then at 3:26


I kinda makes you wonder if all of what is going on is reality, or if its another dream again

That Asian horror run from the early 00's also had some gems.

Ju-On (Remade as The Grudge in the US) was fukking horrifying, especially to a dude that was just getting into Jap horror and wasn't as accustomed to their style.
