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

Brilliant directing

-the sound design and camera work (like the guy in the comments said)
-Dan's acting
-the fact that it's scary in broad daylight

Lynch :bow:

Btw, Entrance = en trance = in a trance :wow:
that scene was funny to me. was that thing that popped out real of did he imagine it cause the other guy didn't faint like he did.

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 :

The Thing (6/10) Movie CLIP - Tainted Blood Sample (1982) HD - YouTube

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.

Try showing that scene to someone who hasn't seen it yet on surround sound. :damn:

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

First 3/4th of the movie (including this scene) is a dream


wow that scene was great. is the whole movie this good???

Yes, it's a masterpiece


that scene was funny to me. was that thing that popped out real of did he imagine it cause the other guy didn't faint like he did.

Well the scene is part of Diane's dream, but I think in that dream he imagined it. The "bum" was played by a woman btw

Another strange and intense scene from David Linch:



Heres a tense scene from one of the best mobster trilogies of all time "outrage" (make sure to turn on captions for an english translation):



If you're into complex and incredibly brutal mob flicks go watch "outrage" and "outrage beyond" on netfix or 1channel.
