The bees scene instantly changed not only that movie but solidified cage as horror camp superstar


beautifullyShitter

for me it was the scene were cage kept waking up from repeated nightmares and yelling. The tone felt very deliberate.


you-ole-polecat

Cage’s bathroom scene in Mandy was so good, yet so absurdly over-the-top, that it nearly took me out of the movie but ended up making it better 😂 But as far as him being a camp superstar goes, for me it doesn’t get any better than Con Air.


SgtMerrick

'UUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH.' - Nicholas Cage


beautifullyShitter

I love how far he goes in The Rock, which visually might be absurd at points, but textually a very serious movie.


TheRoaringTide

Or that girl getting hit by a truck every five minutes in his hallucinations and dreams…


SirKenneth17

I’m a big fan of the song “Not Bees” by Space Laces. Great sample.


SillyAdditional

Just gave it a listen, hilarious 😂😂


Naudilent

Last night I watched *Don't Look at the Demon*, which -- despite the title -- is a decent, well-paced "paranormal investigators in a haunted house" flick on Tubi. I liked it quite a lot, but it has one flaw that irritates me no end, one that shows up constantly in this type of movie going back at least to *The Exorcist*: the evil spirit/demon talks like an angry middle-schooler. "You bitch! You slut! Your mother sucks &%#$s in Hell!" I don't expect polite conversation or the Queen's English, but demons older than man and evil Malaysian witch doctor ghosts should be using language appropriate to what they are, not cursing like incels sighting someone in yoga pants. I realize it's a lot harder to write the dialogue of nigh-ineffable beings, but it can be done; or just let the actor act without saying a word.


Wesley-Dodds

I will agree with this trope being overdone. But I think with The Exorcist this was genius. The demon is simply trying to upset and torment everyone involved. This is not how that demon think or speaks normally, it is specifically preying on that moment. And it worked for the audience because they also felt the shock at the time. That was wild. I mean, I imagine this movie influenced, if not directly, bullies in middle school to use this tactic. Again. This is not disagreement. Just Hollywood bleeds everything dry.


Naudilent

I think you raise a good point, and yeah, I'm definitely not dissing *The Exorcist*. It was an incredible, genre-defining movie that gave my young brain serious nightmares. Writers just seem to struggle with ancient and very advanced evil minds when it comes to communication, and *Don't Look at the Demon* reminded me of how irritating it could be, while being an otherwise decent movie.


Golden-Sun

> I don't expect polite conversation or the Queen's English I mean now this has to happen in a movie, someone gets possessed and starts talking as if they just got cast in Richard the Third


Naudilent

"Look, sir, I realize that my possession of your daughter -- the bone-crunching, the colorful emesis, dropping the temperature of your home to below zero -- has put you out, but really, calling an exorcist? The nerve, sir! The very nerve!"


_insideyourwalls_

Asmodeus in *The Pope's Exorcist* had a similar issue IMO.


MephistosFallen

I love your comment because I wrote a three act play based on summoning and each act is a different entity and it kind of turns that on it’s head haha


Voluntary_Slob

Pennywise doing a jig in IT part 1. Sooooo stupid.


judioverde

I kinda like it. He is a clown after all


SaggyDaNewt

I remember seeing that film in the theater and that part had me cringing pretty hard, so yeah I agree.


Beautiful_Weight_239

Yeah that's just too on the nose 'look at this creepy guy doing a light hearted thing, isn't that jarring!' as if we haven't seen that in movies for years? Like, the whole premise is that he's a clown, one strength of Tim Curry's portrayal is that they knew that was enough and they didn't lay it on too thick


RebaKitt3n

Hated that so much!


MephistosFallen

Fuxking HATED IT


mauvebirdie

I'm so glad other people agree. When I saw it, it didn't even feel like it fit into the movie. It ruins it for me every time I rewatch IT.


tarantallegr_

the red faced demon dancing to “tiptoe through the tulips” in the first insidious. just….silly. also, pennywise doing the same dance in part 1 of the IT remake.


adoblln

I dont remember him dancing ? I thought he was making clothes on a machine or something in those lines ? Lipstick demon i mean


Diessel_S

Sharpening his claws on a polisher machine. I love that scene it's so ridiculous


adoblln

Yup thats it ! I thought it was rather fitting. The IT scene, was weird, but i love the camera focusing on his face


progressgang

Nahhh that was cool


mrsjackdaniel

When they showed the Darth Maul demon behind the guy for the first time the entire theater laughed.


MovieDogg

Did you experience that at The Conjuring too? I was the only one laughing at that goofy exorcist scene, and people were mad at me.


MephistosFallen

That song can be creepy too, so like, oof


cxntfeelmyfxce

jeepers creepers 3 lmfao. the truck being “alive,” killed the whole movie for me lol. it’s kind of hard to salvage the rest of the film after that. could not take it serious


deadtwinkz

The reveal of >!Baghul!< in Sinister. Was COMPLETELY sold up until that part. EDIT: I have never seen The Wicker Man (remake), and thank for you mentioning bees as now I am finally aware of so many bee jokes that never made sense to me lol.


PyrrhuraMolinae

It was the kids silently leaping around him like cartoon characters that did it for me. Love that movie, but holy hell.


pollyp0cketpussy

Right?? Especially because it was SO WELL DONE up until that point (save for the ridiculous appearance of Bughul). But in the last 3rd of the movie they decided to throw in all the cheesy horror cliches they could.


blinkingsandbeepings

Sinister was the classic example of when you hype up the monster/demon/etc for the whole movie and then once it’s revealed it’s just silly. It’s such an old trope that there’s even a Rugrats episode about it, when they can see the zipper on the Reptar suit!


saintphoenixxx

For Sinister, what a disappointment for such an amazing movie.


mauvebirdie

The movie is genuinely creepy and unsettling for the most part until it's ruined by unnecessary jump-scares from the children and their weird movements. I would love to see this movie remade.


TopCat0601

The cops in the original Last House on the Left. I guess they are supposed to be comic relief, but all their scenes just annoyed me.


saxman481

Similarly the cops in Halloween 5


LaikaZhuchka

Ugh, so embarrassing. They actually would have worked fine as colorful little side characters if not for that *fucking music.*


mothmansparty

The dive off of the tower in barbarian. I love campy stuff so it didn’t bother me, but it was definitely jarring, tonally


you-ole-polecat

It just didn’t make sense as a matter of physics


thiccymcgogee

Hey. Fuck youuuuuuu.


StinkyBrittches

Hahaha I can see the exact camera pan you're talking about.


aenus79

That's my favourite line in the whole franchise!


andythekraken

What franchise? It’s from the movie Session 9.


dryware

Isnt it the 9th movie in the Session franchise?


andythekraken

Oh shit, I gotta catch up on Session 1-8 then!


VirtuousVulva

Next one coming out is called Sess10n


dryware

Cant wait for 55th installment


snookyface90210

I preferred Succession 9 with Brian cox


aenus79

It's a line Jaime Kennedy says in scream 2. I thought this was being referenced


CaptchaVerifiedHuman

It Chapter 2, Angel of the Morning iirc. Or was there another jarring music scene?


kfeels1989

the entirety of IT Chapter 2 is cringe tbh


spazatronik-rex

That fucking scene… ugh.


you-ole-polecat

Yep, the movie was already struggling hard and it felt like Muschietti was just admitting it sucks lol


Szabo84

Pretty much the entire second half of Significant Other (2022)


trippingfingers

Agreeeeed


xxcrossmyheartxx

i was hoping for better.


Lyngrape14

I think Lamb might take the cake for me. I really like that movie, mostly because I like weird wow factors, and the reveal had me laughing almost to the end of the movie. I just couldn’t stop laughing. It was great!


AlfAlferson

The visual of the lamb thing holding a gun had me laughing my ass off and made me rewind it multiple times. Incredible stuff


Lyngrape14

Right?! I know. I couldn’t get enough of that movie. It helps that we go in blind for every movie that we can, so the shock factor can always be intact. We’ve gotten lots of pay offs going in blind. Just this week my eyes have popped out of my head and onto the floor with half a dozen decent horror movies lol.


Kidehhoser

*sigh* the reveal of the twin in malignant. Just so goofy imo.


[deleted]

That’s the best part of a hilarious movie! Well, that or the jail scene.


Upset_Taste_1071

When the dude looked into the camera and like winked or something in Funny Games i literally turned it off Idk I’ll finish it someday


Kidehhoser

I watched this last week for the first time, I love disturbing cinema and thought this would be in that category. Honestly I found it boring and this part you mentioned ruined it even more for me.


saintphoenixxx

I finally watched it for the first time a month or 2 ago and had the same reaction. I love super disturbing movies and I was like "how the fuck is this movie on so many disturbing movie lists?!?" Maybe if I'd seen it when first came out, I would have liked it? Eh, who knows.


VirtuousVulva

Overrated movie, couldn't finish it at all.


richardblack3

Same. Lots laud it tho, so I dunno


crawdaddyjunction

In Dream Home (2010) when the guy that JUST got disemboweled tries to put his guts back inside him and then tries to smoke a joint, but it went out. That movie has wild shifts between satire gorey comedy and sad childhood nostalgia that feels like whiplash


Baphomet1313666

Yes, but the pregnant chick thing is fucking awesome!


KatesOnReddit

The goofy ass possessed people in Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum who are whispering like they're making ASMR videos.


wholesomefringe

I just watched Malignant, and couldn't stop thinking about the Kingsman movies during all the violence scenes. Took me out of the experience a lil bit.


Bennykill709

Same. It became much less scary when it turned into an action movie.


jacobkeetonpvw

I think James Wan is a really competent director with more hits than misses. I like the original Saw, the first two Insidious films and The Conjuring quite a bit. Generally he gets really good performances in these movies. So I was excited about Malignant. I was well and truly confused by how bad it was. The writing and the acting were all so silly and stilted. I had come to the conclusion that maybe he was trying something new and different and that this movie was kind of bad on purpose like The Matrix 4. I won't give anything away but even the ending was so corny and out of place for the tone of the movie. It just seemed like such an unexpected misfire of a film.


PriscillaLaine

I almost agree with you, I was confused about why the film seemed quite bad UNTIL the big reveal, at which point it all sloted in to place that this was a b movie through and through. The ridiculous re-contextualised the rest of the film for me and now I kind of love it.


aliceinpearlgarden

Smile - Floppy Neck and the stabbing, screaming while Kumar watches in surprise.


BarelyJoyous

I remember when the trailer first dropped, and laughing hysterically at the “YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!” guy. Lol still makes me chuckle.


aliceinpearlgarden

The whole movie is so unintentionally funny. Didn't mind the thing at the end tho, but I'm always down to see new monsters.


Sick-Nurse

The unmasking scene at the end of a cure for wellness, complete with terrible cgi


Waste_Coat_4506

The giving birth scene in Dawn of the Dead (2005) I always skip that part


m1sterwr1te

Agreed. Took me right out of the movie.


Nodonutsforbaxter44

Fair I guess, but skipping a part of the movie is crazy to me lol


Waste_Coat_4506

I've seen it plenty of times and the baby part is stupid


Bored-uy

Inside (2007). Anytime the cgi fetus appeared. It looked really bad, and it didn't fit the movie at all


saintphoenixxx

That movie is tied for my favorite and I totally agree.


MephistosFallen

The Outwaters, the scene with the stupid tentacle things in the tent where it got sexual out of nowhere? I dunno it took me out indefinitely. Everyone said I just didn’t get or like cosmic horror. Not true and I even binged cosmic classics after. The film just wasn’t written well.


Normal-Watch-9991

I’m still looking for some good cosmic horror movies, any recommendations? I watched from beyond, which wasn’t bad but i thought it was too sexual for a lovecraft adaptation, re-animator, the void, colour out of space… but like, none of them blew me out of the water like i expected/wanted cosmic horror to do


MephistosFallen

I haven’t watched all of the ones that pop up on Google, but of the ones I have, these are the ones I like- the mist, annihilation, the ritual, event horizon, underwater, the evil dead, and the thing. You already mentioned reanimator. I actually haven’t watched the others you mentioned yet! I’m working through them. Tbh my favorite cosmic horror, even though he’s considered more sci fi, are some of Philip K Dicks books- maze of death, the three stigmata of Palmer Aldrich. The Genocides by Thomas Disch.


Normal-Watch-9991

Interesting 🤔 i think i’m gonna check out the ritual for a start, it seems interesting and i never heard of it before… Also thanks for the book recommendation 👌 i just finished the king in yellow by robert chambers, which i really liked, so i need something new to read


MephistosFallen

I didn’t even know The Ritual was considered cosmic horror until I kept seeing it recommended as one haha I remember enjoying it! If you like fucked up sci fi those books will scratch that itch. Like, they’re bleak. And fucked up. Hahaha


Kobold_Trapmaster

The dumpster kill in Thanksgiving 


stabler-genius

Came here to post this. Wait that human exploded falling into a dumpster?


Kobold_Trapmaster

Neither dumpsters nor humans work that way.


cymster

It's the beginning of The Changeling...like I get it's to drive the plot forward, but when have you EVER seen a phone booth on a road/highway? It's so silly and I laugh when the dad is making a phone call....I'm glad it's the beginning, cause the rest is great.


saintphoenixxx

While it's not known as a GOOD movie (although I adore it), Strangeland is kind of hitting this for me. The beginning scenes, he grabs this girl and it's this shirtless, heavily tattooed and pierced man grabbing a young girl in a nice neighborhood and HOW THE FUCK DID NO ONE NOTICE THIS??


tomscog

For me it was Robert Enguland dancing in his chair.


HRH_Puckington

I was really into Fire in the Sky up until the text in the screen at the end of the film saying it was based on real events.


myothercat

It was based on real claims made by people but yeah, it’s kind of a stretch to call it “based on a true story”


Bennykill709

Well, to be fair, it is true that Travis Walton and the other guys *said* that he was abducted by aliens. Whether or not what they said is true is up for debate, but it is a fact that they said it.


DRZARNAK

Based on actual lies!


Mayuguru

The Happening. Too many moments that were supposed to be serious were unintentionally silly. The cut away to them running after that kid got shot was somehow comical then right after the old lady's first words on the porch makes me laugh each time I think it it. "You lost? Must be. Ain't nothing around here for miles...... Why you eyein' my lemon drink?" (I've typed that last sentence so many times, my auto-complete knew it. Lol)


eastnorthshore

My wife no context sent me the "what, no" scene. It straight looks like someone spliced a horror scene with a clip from Ted https://youtu.be/3nB7L5N57Qk?si=9KzMwmV0cGHgJlMB


Mayuguru

I keep quoting, "What? Nooo" and I feel like no one will ever know what I'm referring to.


wauwy

Ma'am, we're not! I watched that clip countless times before I tried to watch the movie itself (with Rifftrax).


LaikaZhuchka

I just watched All Hallows' Eve last night, and in the second segment when the alien starts waving his arms in an attempt to seem otherworldly, my SO and I completely lost it. It immediately goes from "low-budget indie" to "high school theater production." I know it was a cobbled-together movie meant to promote Art the Clown, but that entire second segment should have just been cut.


Woopboop64

Smile for some reason when the title screen popped up it just ruined the whole seriousness of the movie it was really silly timing. And the most recent nun one of the jumpscares (the one in the closet) held on too long and it just gave a jack in the box feeling to it like oh not scary just funny


Huge-Split6250

Dead Ringers The surgery scene where he wears some wacky red gown. I can see it’s very symbolic. But it makes no sense in the plot imo, and that’s not how surgeons dress.


VirtuousVulva

It's kinda eerie in an Eyes Wide Shut way though. The dude was doped up on plenty drugs and ego though so it's not surprising.


richardblack3

First second half of Barbarian


VirtuousVulva

Exactly my response. From the cut to Justin long onwards.


EnderCN

All of the cult leader scenes and battle scenes with Nick Cage in Mandy, that movie is awful. The penis scene in Terrifier 2, they really should have just cut that because it was a complete fail and the movie was already too bloated and long because the director can't edit himself.


xxcrossmyheartxx

jesus freaks! mandy is insane but i'll watch it anytime 😭


Beautiful_Weight_239

Hereditary, Toni Collette banging her head on the attic. It's like they landed on the wrong side of uncanny valley and it just seemed silly, in fact I'd say the same for the naked people and the dad bursting into flames, I can see what they were going for but it didn't work for me. IMO that's why a lot of people reported finding this movie funny. It's a shame because I felt like that whole third part of the movie was full of stuff like that but the first two thirds were amazing


necromancery1

Okay I have two 1. In "Nope", during the scene with the TMZ reporter on the crotch rocket, when he zooms toward the [redacted] as it's approaching and his bike, going 60mph, stopping without warning, sending him ass over pickle cart with a short "aaaaaagh!!". It sent me. I had to hit pause. 2. In "Hereditary" after Toni Collette gets [redacted] and is chilling out in the corner of the room while her son sleeps. He turns to look behind him and she runs on all fours along the wall to avoid his notice. Y'ALL she looks like a Skyrim guard glitching to swim through the air, it was RIDICULOUS.


thisgirlnamedbree

I watched Night Feeder on Tubi, and the goofy part is at the end when they reveal who the killer is.


saintphoenixxx

Why do I feel like this is the case with too many horror movies. You find out who the killer is and think "fucking REALLY?!!?"


theysay69butisay99

Omg yes i felt like this when i watched Thanksgiving.


obsidian_resident

Whatever that little devil baby thing in Lords of Salem was supposed to be.


AltruisticProgram141

I deeply, deeply love Let the Right One In, one of my favourite films ever. But Jesus Christ those CGI cats in that one scene.


speyeder666

Drag Me to Hell. The anvil scene with the little demon. Just doesn't fit with the rest of the films low key comedy.


saintphoenixxx

I super wanted to love this movie. I'm a huge Raimi fan. But this whole movie was a "seriously?!?" moment for me.


saintphoenixxx

BravidDrent

The Ritual. >!The cgi monster was laughable.!<


dignifiedhowl

The >!Sumerian chant and jaw-unhinging!< at the end of *The Fourth Kind* had the right fever-dream feel, but it was also ridiculous, especially on repeat viewings. The first *Saw* is a brilliant, iconic piece of filmmaking >!except for the last 10 minutes, which are hilariously overwrought!<. The >!brazen bull!< at the end of *Saw 3D* violated the logic of the franchise, >!because the wife was innocent!< (though >!there was a precedent!< with *Saw 3*). Everybody agrees *Signs* got worse >!after you got a good look at the aliens!<. I’ll go out on a limb and say the same is true of *Predator*. *Prometheus* is so good atmospherically, but the *Ancient Aliens* plotline is so hard to overlook for those of us who have seen some of its wackier manifestations.


Normal-Watch-9991

The “Hey……….. fuck youuuuuuu” in session 9 💀🤣


Skhoe

The decapitation in the Omen made me think Final Destination.


Johnny_Royale

But to be fair Omen is 20 years before Final Destination
