  • I once saw a horror movie that had scary, weird, subtle things in the foreground. For example, the main one I remember was early in the movie, when it was still keeping the viewer in suspense about whether anything supernatural was happening; in that scene the camera panned across an area and the silhouette of a ghost was right up front, but easy to miss. It’s the only movie I can recall doing that; I was watching the movie with my then-girlfriend and she didn’t even see it until I rewound to show her.

    I can’t remember the name of the movie, I’ll have to ask my now-wife, but it was quite good.

    edit: Actually managed to remember on my own. It was The Awakening.


  • That is a wonderful movie, but there’s at least one jump scare that I can recall (when the old lady opens the cabinet near the end) and it’s been at least a decade since I saw it.

    Agreed on every other point, though.

    Side note: As I write this, my toddler is laying beside me and started breathing deeply, reminding me of the “stop breathing!” scene, which was fantastically done. I should watch that movie again.

    I interpreted it as the turkey being static on the table until Garfield started to pull on the tablecloth. In my interpretation the lines are supposed to indicate the beginning of movement, but since the turkey started at the edge, it looked like it was thrown there. No, I don’t know why Jon would be sitting idle at a table with a cooked turkey.

    One wouldn’t usually throw a turkey in that manner (at least not the people who have served me turkey) but I admit that would probably be no less odd.
