The last time a film made you jump?
Reply to Topic
The Witch actually made me jump – a bit – with one particular moment:
WARNING: spoilers below
A very well set-up shock as, in the middle of a grisly though seemingly quiet scene, Black Phillip's horns slam into William's ribs.

I think the new movie Lights Out made me flinch once.
For me:
There is this film called The Eclipse is Ciaran Hinds, wasn't a huge fan of it, but I remember watching it with my grandma and mom. It's a quiet film, and I wont spoil it, but one scene involving a closet took me off guard and made me leap from the couch and without thinking scream 'HOLY ****', truly one of the most effective 'jolts' in cinema history.
Also, the lawnmower scene in Sinister.
The aforementioned scene in The Witch.
And the single jolt in UNDER THE SKIN that takes place under water. That film is so quiet and seeing it in theaters, that moment took me off guard and shook me to my core.
Also The Ring "I saw her... face"

.You've reminded me of The Ring:
WARNING: spoilers below
The scene with the victim's body in the cupboard really shook me up – fantastic make-up design for the victims and a nice touch to have the head drop sickeningly forward.
And the single jolt in UNDER THE SKIN
. She's great in that, Scarlett Johansson.

Shame about that ending, but Sinister does have something proper to offer for the horror genre.

You guys are funny.
There is this film called The Eclipse is Ciaran Hinds,
WARNING: spoilers below
Given your original post I became a closet-watcher for most of the film , and the bit you refer to certainly does pack a punch. The shock that I didn't expect was Jim Norton's 'rotting' proto-ghost appearing in the car, and the hissing noise he makes certainly makes it extra horrific. As a Father Ted fan I was pleased to see his name on the cast list along with the other three actors, all of whom I like very much. It's really Ciarán Hinds' film I think; he was outstanding.
It was very interesting for me that Aidan Quinn was involved as a few months back I saw him in the 1995 film Haunted, which also involves spiritualism, and is excellent. I had quite recently read Arthur Conan Doyle's story The Land of Mist, which I found very moving, particularly knowing Doyle's personal circumstances, and that film tied into those emotions as well.
I would also say that if anyone liked The Eclipse they should have a look at The Daisy Chain.

That bit in Jeanne Dielman where she drops a fork.

I've just remembered a really good one in The Exorcism of Emily Rose:
WARNING: spoilers below
Where the boyfriend wakes up, looks over the side of the bed and sees Emily. I'm sure we've all been there .

The Shallows
It may be yet another 'Jaws' so called rip off and amidst a sea of shark attack tongue in cheek films, but there is much tension built around a simple premise. Given the fact it is also built around one location, the scares are even harder to pull off, but this film manages to do that without over endulging in a scare every two minutes formula. Quite effective little thriller.

I read about the shallows and was excited to see it but then i saw the trailer and realised that id probably just seen the whole film...
