Great moments in Horror

A great movie and Brian Cox is far superior as Hannibal Lecter in this than Hopkins in any of the other movies

Anyway several good scenes, the reporter who is captured by The Tooth Fairy and strapped to a wheelechair and set alight, the end shoot-out with In A Garda Vidda playing, or even the blind girls visit to the Tiger ...BUT IMHO there is one scene which just sums up the movie...Its a scene where Lecter is in prison and needs to contact the Tooth Fairy so he asks for the prison phone which he short circuits with some chewing gum foil and proceeds to get through to an operator - he then pretends he is disabled and gets patched through to the detective's doctor or rather the secretary and then he charms the girl to getting her to reveal the detective's address - totally chilling as its so subtle yet utterly believable

The opening dialogue just sets the mood really well

also I love the way the word Typo appears as Pontypool gradually appears

the swimming pool scene is a classic now but I will opt for the scene where Oskar refuses to invite Eli into his apartment

what better way to get revenge than serve one of your critics his favourite pet dog - poodle pie

Its an act of love - chainsawing your lovers head

the "steadicam" moment when we see from the evil spirit/s pov as it rushes into the cabin

aftre seeing an upside-down headed version of your sister what else can you expect? Running into a giant face of your sister which spawns some hairy headed caterpillar creatures

skip to the 8 minute mark

Not the head spinning or the projectile vomiting but the classic line "Your mother sucks cocks in hell"

The cheer out loud and punch the sky moment when the woman escapes by car and runs over the "chav" bitch

The finger clipping scene - I squirmed for ages watching this - Bring On The Pain...LOL

I was split between 1 of 2 scenes - the bizarre cheap and tacky Lovecraftian "hell" ending or this...the lady following alerts the police not quite in time and gets caught directly in an explosion

this clip has both scenes

Barbara Crampton turning from book-ish to slut

:( no YT clip

Debbie Harry on TV - where the main guy Max sinks his head into the TV

www.youtube.com/watch?v=__ZYd2Gg9QY --- skip to about 37 minutes

Its very hard to pick out just one moment in one of the greatest brutal horrific flicks in recent years - I could opt for the newborn porn clip BUT thats too easy or the beheading of the "whore"...

for me its when Milos and another man who is hooded are fucking 2 covered people who are also hooded...their hoods are removed and its revealed that Milos his fucking his son, and the other man is fucking Milo's wife seriously messed up

In afilm full of OTT and some weird shit , the torture by hairdryer in the mouth is unforgettable

the truth is revealed

skip to the 4 minute point if you are impatient

it was a tough call between this scene and another but I went for the obvious

a boring movie apart from the alien experiment at the end

no expense spared for the special effects - but a great film

This is creepy leading to a jump scare...fuck this gives me the creeps

A nice way to start a film

Exploding head - what more can be said?

I think this film had one of the best jumpscares due to excellent misdirection from Steven Speilberg...yes...its the part where the boat that has been sunken by "Bruce" the shark is investigated and a head pops out...I recall several girls in the cinema literally jumped out of their seats

Though Jaws is a great movie its a testimony to really luck and fate determining success than Speilberg's talents as a director --- a long story but SS revealed he wanted to show the shark a LOT and only budget and mechanical failure prevented him from doing so...One of the big appeals of Jaws was simply the build up with the ominous 2 note music and NOT seeing the shark

anyways a nice clip....of the "we need a bigger boat" scene
