From **Seven** : “It seems that envy is my sin.” ---

Lecter could read a Hallmark card and it’d sound disturbing. How about a written line from a movie: “Now we’re sleeping with you. Don’t wake up” (28 days later) Disturbing and sad. ---

To add another one from 28 Days Later… “Slow down.” as whispered by the Major to his men. ---

FWIW, I remember seeing an interview with Sir Tony where he said that the voice of **Hal** from **2001** was prominent in his mind as he developed the voice of Hannibal Lecter. He said he wanted HL to sound like he could as soon kill you as look at you, so the cold logic of a computer was a perfect fit. ---

> [@mamboman](#): > > Private Pyle" “Seven-six-two millimeter. Full Metal Jacket”, chilling and pivotal. Maybe. Then again: GySgt Hartman: “The more you hate me, the more you will learn!” ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > Yes. But the original line was from – come to think of it – the promo posters for the original 1968 _Night of the Living Dead,_ not _Dawn of the Dead._ And, again, it appeared nowhere in the movie. Nope – Ken Foree says it in both movies playing different characters. In the original, he and the Mall Gang are standing on the upper balcony of the empty mall, listening to the zombies try to scratch their way through the doors. Fran: “What the hell are they?” Peter: “They’re us. That’s all. There’s no more room in hell.” Steven: “What?” Peter: “You know Makumba? Voodoo. Granddad was a priest in Trinidad. He used to tell us, 'when there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.” In the remake, he says almost the same line as a preacher on TV. Pretty good tagline, used well in the movies IMHO… EZ ---

“You weren’t supposed to help her” from _The Ring_ is my favorite. Here are more that came to mind though. From _The Mothman Prophecies_: Richard Gere’s character (on the phone): What am I holding in my hand? Indrid Cold: Chap… Stick. From _The Others_ Grace: Charles. You look so different. Charles: Sometimes I bleed. From _Hellraiser_ Pinhead: We will tear your soul apart. Frank, to Kirsty: Come to Daddy. ---

“You talking to me? You talking to me?” No attribution needed. “He’d kill us if he had the chance.” – from **The Conversation**. You hear the line several times in the movie, but at a certain point, it completely changes meaning, to chilling effect. “You, I don’t even like.” – from “The Long Goodbye.” Spoken by Marty Augustine just after he has waxed poetic about how much he loves his girlfrend – and then smashes a bottle into her face. “That’s funny. That plane’s dusting crops where there ain’t no crops.” – no attribution needed. ---

> [@](#): > > “He’d kill us if he had the chance.” – from The Conversation. You hear the line several times in the movie, but at a certain point, it completely changes meaning, to chilling effect. Yeah, but because they chaged the inflection in the reading, whioch has always bugged me. ---

A couple from an unlikely source, **Moulin Rouge!** , both of them involving the Duke: "The pleasure I fear will be entirely mine, my dear. " From when the Duke meets Satine in the elephant. By the look in his eye, you can tell that he means no more and no less than that. A few minutes later, during the “Spectacular Spectacular” bit, the Duke lets out with a very snivelling “It’s a little bit funny… this feeling inside.” Something about the way he’s looking, and the little lip curl he gives at the end of it, that just creeps me out. ---

“What is Democracy?” “It’s got something to do with young men killing each other, I believe” From _Johnny Got His Gun_ A movie everyone who glamorizes war should see. ---

One of the few highlights from _Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture_: “Enterprise, what we got back didn’t live very long… fortunately.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-disturbing-movie-lines/294140.md?page=3)
