The Shining - the movie
The creepy twin girls say
“Danny, come and play with us”
Then you see Danny lying dead in a pool of his blood.
How bout
When Jack Nicholson (Jack Torrence) goes into room 213
and sees the knockout lady in the bathtub, see gets out,
they kiss, then she turns into a hideous old woman.
The whole movie creeps me out.
Actually, that’s not Danny lying there in a pool of his own blood. It’s the two little girls lying dead. It was some ghostly snapshot from the hotel’s past. Remember when Grady talked about having killed his two daughters? If you pause it you will see the two girls chopped up and bloody as well as an axe.
This is pretty lame and I’m kind of embarassed by it, but what are ya gonna do? I can’t remember the characters, it’s been a while, but in The Lost World, a woman and a girl are running from raptors (!) and the are trying to dig their way out of a shed. As they scrape dirt out, they look over their shoulders to check on the raptors, when they turn back around, a raptor head pops through the hole. I jumped, I screamed.
I’m sooooo lame.
Forgot all about The Shining. For me it was when Shelly Duvall’s character is whining her way through the hotel after all the ghosts have finally come out. She looks in one room and sees the guy in the bear suit fellating the guy in the tuxedo. Just long enough for you to see what’s going on, but not long enough to understand it. Just long enough for you to think, “What in the hell is going on in this movie, and what kind of crazy shit are they going to show next?!?”
Nah, you’ve just got a nervous system. And that’s easily manipulated by moviemakers. That’s why I don’t feel that embarrassed when I jump – or even worse, cry – at a cheesy movie anymore: moviemakers have learned exactly how to get a jump or a tear out of an audience. It’s just as artificial and artless as taking advantage of the fact that showing a bunch of still frames really fast will make you see movement. I know exactly the scene you’re talking about from The Lost World and I along with everybody else in the audience jumped and shrieked like a woman when it happened. The movie still sucked.
You think he bought it?
