The original Scream had trick for the audience that is legendary. Drew Barrymore was approached to play the part of Sidney but she said she was so famous that audiences would assume she would be the final girl. So, she and Wes Craven agreed to cast her as the first kill. Their trick worked and audiences were utterly shocked to see her gutted.
That scene in It Follows…. Caught me completely off guard and reminded me why I LOVE horror movies. Before that, no horror movie made me feel uneasy, it tripped me out for days after watching it. A true cinematic masterpiece.
My favourite thing about the opening to Urban Legend was the music. The poor soon to be murder victim is singing along with Total Eclispe of the Heart, telling herself, "Turn around, Brighteyes," as the killer prepares to, well, kill her.
Didn’t know the Urban Legend one, very smart concept. Anyone who has seen those actors play bad guys subconsciously still see them as the bad guy even if it’s a different film.
The Urban Legend opening only works if you don't know that particular Urban Legend, which, look, I'm not saying you have to know a bunch of them to watch the movie, but for me, that was the draw of the movie in the first place so yeah, I already knew the killer was in the backseat. It's one of the reasons I always look in the back seat before I get in the car.
The 1989 adaptation of The Woman in Black is a masterclass in atmosphere, instilling unease without recourse to jump scares. The dread of what you *think* is going to happen creeps at a steady pace until the big scare comes, and holeeee sheeeeeit, it works.
I was freaking out to the maximum when I saw it in the theater. Just curled up in a ball and hitting my friend in the arm while silently pointing in the corner like "CAN'T YOU SEE HER??!?!" and she didn't see her! She was so busy watching Peter and the door and the chair and the wardrobe that she never saw her in the corner. When that scene happens and you see SOMETHING scuttle along the ceiling and escape out, she was just like... "The fuck was that" and I was silently losing my shit the entire time.
I disagree about goodnight mommy. I feel like the movie telegraphs it’s twist so heavily and it never misdirects you to think that it isn’t the case. I honestly hate the movie for not even trying.
Hell, I've never seen or heard of this movie but as soon as the shot of the one boy on the lake came up, before Amy even mentioned anything hinky about it or gave away the twist, I immediately knew the second boy was dead.
Never understood why the Brad Dourif character in urban legend didn’t tell Michelle there was someone hiding in the backseat instead of acting all sinister and creepy.
Because it was in the script he couldn't scream it to her until she drove off and couldn't hear him but I get it seriously you can scream it once she drives away but couldn't say it when she's standing right there my kids hate when I tell them the same thing we'd be watching a movie why why Mom because it's in the script duh oh the looks they give me LOL
Gasper Noe is genius.. he ended the French Extremity film movement on a vile note.. I have remixed the soundtrack from Irreversible.. and yes I find the Subway scene necessary but, I still fast forward through it...
3:06 it’s actually really interesting how much work the fans have put into this film, and the hallways and layout of the hotel is impossible, we are shown the size of the rooms but we see that doors to rooms would open up into the main hall if they are really placed where we see them, also we see items in the background of shots move or vanish depending on who’s POV we are seeing a conversation from. There was a really interesting fan theory that nothing is actually happening at the hotel and it’s all in Her head (apart from the injury to Danny that she did them blamed it on jack) if you rewatch the film with this idea in your head you actually see a lot of stuff that backs the idea up and changes how some parts play out, eg Wendy comes and talks to jack as he is typing in the main hall towards the end of the conversation jack looks confused as Wendy walks off then he carry’s on typing even though there shouldn’t be paper in the typewriter as it was removed while they talked, well if the whole thing was in her head how the scene really plays out is Wendy walks up to jack stands there looking at him for a minute or so them just walks off of course jack and Danny would both be used to her acting this way so they just shrug it off, also Wendy knows stuff she never sees or is never told about unless the stuff she sees and knows is just her imaging what happened that’s also why there is inconsistency in it.
I mean, Dafoe _was_ giving an inconsistent performance, that's the genius of the director's idea. Inconsistency can add to confusion and fear as much as any jumpscare
Who did Jamie (Danielle Harris) kill? I've only seen Curse of Michael Myers once and it was so bad I don't remember most of it, was it in there? Yes Jamie had a violent twist in 4, 5 confirms that the whole family survived (trying not to spoil too much)?
Contempt for Gaspar Noé? Strong words for a brilliant director who's constantly out on a limb, thematically as well as technically! He never ceases to amaze me.
I mean every single channel has posted about it now & many put the movies stills in the video picture so if you clicked on it you kinda did it to yourself , you could see the movie was going to be mentioned , even if you didn’t know the still was from scream she literally says the title of the movie before going into it so you could have skipped 🤷🏼♀️ Can’t blame anyone for spoiling a movie when you had multiple opportunities to not click 😂
@@CaseyJayy92 “9 Horror Movie Scenes You Didn’t Realise Were Tricking You” is a very different title that “9 Horror Movie Scenes Where The Killer Is Revealed In The First Scene”. Sure, it was really obvious that Amy was going to talk about Scream, but the segment was about the Ghostface fakeouts. Nobody should have to sit there with the remote in hand just in case the script takes a left turn and talks about who the killer is. Other channels posting spoilers is not an excuse, especially when most of those other channels would’ve either titled their videos accordingly, or given a spoiler warning.
The implication or assumption she did, but surely a Cinephile such as a WhatCulture horror writer/presenter has seen the entire series and would not make such a mistake, surely. Just up to their usual inaccurate selves.
How about just one list without "it follows", "hereditary", and "midsommar" I realize the last title wasn't on this particular list. Kind of surprised it wasn't
To be fair, it used to be worse. Some time ago, they would give the spoiler right there with the title of the movie being spoiled. If you didn't want spoilers, you had no option but to look for a list of the movies in the comments before watching, or simply not watch the video. Now at least they tell us the title of the movie without the spoiler, so you can skip that section. In fact, that's what I did with Scream, and came back here just to watch that part now I've seen the movie. I have my problems with WC's format, but really, in this case it's just a matter of skipping ahead, nothing too bad.
yeah was wondering the same thing, literally just wikipedia-ed him to see if he was involved in some scandal I hadn't heard about or something. I think it's just the narrator's personal bias against his movies, though "contempt for him as a person" seems more than a little harsh...
@@ank1106 My wife didn't really but there also isn't much of that kind of crime where I live, plus she either has a knife or gun at all times so someone trying something like that with her would be the one that would end up scared.
Can you help me with the title of this slasher film, the plot begins when a young girl survives his family massacre and after many years she becomes the killer she killed the sister of the boyfriend by drown her with a automatic pool cover, a friend of his boyfriend with a pitch fork, and the ending was the youngest sister of his boyfriend is the last survivor when she was cornered by the killer she count to 5 down to 1 covering her face mirror what killer did when her family massacred. I'm if my English is bad. I hope you can help to find this film I wanna watch it again.
I googled as much of your post as I could to find the movie and haven’t come up with anything other than maybe Dark Places 2015 but it doesn’t say she goes on to become a murderer , whatever film you’re mentioning sounds really good though I wanna find it 😂
Jack Quaids the killer in Scream (2022)?! Fuck! I called it! And I haven’t even seen it yet! Omg, im good. I have no need to see it now. I know Dewey‘s killed too 😞
I interpreted that as being the background scenery set up to look like Ghostface. For example, the windows behind Wes in the kitchen, or the painting behind Tara when she’s on the phone. But even if that’s the intention, yeah, it’s a bit of a reach.
The new Scream was predictable in every single sense of the word. It wasn't tricking anyone. Kubrick's Shining was just boring, none of its "tricks" were scary in the slightest. Hereditary was brilliant. It Comes At Night was cool.

They did the same thing in Psycho. Both the most iconic horror movie openings.
Drew Barrymore is a clever bird.

I hated It Follows, but it did have some good scares, and that scene is one of them. It's ashame the whole movie couldn't be like that...
I literally screamed out loud at that scene, and spent the next 20 minutes trembling. Such a simple but effective scare
It follows and both of Ari Aster's movies are easily the best horror movies in the last decade plus

I think they said in Halloween 5 that Jaimie's adopted mom didn't die after the stabbing.
Omg I totally agree with you on the Willum Difoe statement!
I absolutely love the guy
Annie in the corner in Hereditary is fucking terrifying
I was freaking out to the maximum when I saw it in the theater. Just curled up in a ball and hitting my friend in the arm while silently pointing in the corner like "CAN'T YOU SEE HER??!?!" and she didn't see her!

@@SilverFoxfire I lovedthe film but when Annie scuttled along the ceiling I laughed my ass off, I don't know why but to me it looked funny to me.
The Shining in it's entirety is an ingenious mind trick
The scene with Wes wasn't the opening in scream
But Jamie didn't murder her foster mom. They retconned it in Halloween 5.
Irreversible is truly one of the most uncomfortable films I've ever seen, harrowing
Scream did that background trick in the original as well.
I do love William Defoe especially in boondock saints
I disagree about goodnight mommy. I feel like the movie telegraphs it’s twist so heavily and it never misdirects you to think that it isn’t the case. I honestly hate the movie for not even trying.
Yes, I totally agree with you.

The "disappearing painting" in Deep Red!

Ah Yes! MindF***ing done right now Horror Movies. Truly a Chef's kiss of a tool to use in this genre
Gasper Noe is genius.. he ended the French Extremity film movement on a vile note.. I have remixed the soundtrack from Irreversible.. and yes I find the Subway scene necessary but, I still fast forward through it...
Necessary. Sure.
In Scream 5, I had a gut feeling Amber is the killer because she played Susan Atkins in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Great job Amy. Always entertaining videos.

Then what about the numerous scenes with just Jack or Danny ?
Wes wasn’t the ‘opening scene’ in Scream 5/2022 that was Tara 🤦🏻♀️
I mean, Dafoe _was_ giving an inconsistent performance, that's the genius of the director's idea. Inconsistency can add to confusion and fear as much as any jumpscare
I don't get the Scream 5 listing... They provided zero proof of any thing...
nice concept ...nice👍👍👍👍
Irreversible makes me feels sick at the mere thought. Thank you for saying it. Gasper and the film are both disturbing.
Who did Jamie (Danielle Harris) kill? I've only seen Curse of Michael Myers once and it was so bad I don't remember most of it, was it in there? Yes Jamie had a violent twist in 4, 5 confirms that the whole family survived (trying not to spoil too much)?
Hereditary is terrifying.
Also, this was good but I'm actually more interested in your dislike of Irreversible. Another movies that we hate round table would be fun
Contempt for Gaspar Noé? Strong words for a brilliant director who's constantly out on a limb, thematically as well as technically! He never ceases to amaze me.
Cool story, bro
I Love Danielle Harris!
Amazing video Amy from what culture, fantastic job.

Note to Amy of WC/H: maybe try watching the films you write about -
Jamie Lloyd DID NOT murder her foster mother in H4, only injured her.
To be fair, 4 ends on the note that she totally killed her. 5 retconned it.
The implication or assumption she did, but surely a Cinephile such as a WhatCulture horror writer/presenter has seen the entire series and would not make such a mistake, surely.
Just up to their usual inaccurate selves.
I thought Goodnight Mommy said the kids died in a car accident. Maybe I am thinking of something else.
How about just one list without "it follows", "hereditary", and "midsommar" I realize the last title wasn't on this particular list. Kind of surprised it wasn't
Be happy it doesn’t include The Descent (for once)

Not a horror movie but Pacific Rim 2 the bad guy in it is not who you think
Why only 9 not 10?
What exactly is the problem with Gasper Noe? I'm legitimately not familiar with them, so I'm curious rather than trying to be incendiary.
Curious about this too.
There is no problem. Some people dislike him for his gratuity, but that doesn't take away from the objective beauty and originality of his films
yeah was wondering the same thing, literally just wikipedia-ed him to see if he was involved in some scandal I hadn't heard about or something. I think it's just the narrator's personal bias against his movies, though "contempt for him as a person" seems more than a little harsh...

Jesus does nobody care about spoilers. Finally watching the movie tonight and read comments before the list started.
Great job on the video amy. Not one scream movie ever surprised or tricked me in any way shape or form.
So some horror movies intentionally have forms pareidolia put in there, nice!
Are all of these movies they have featured over and over and over and over and over again. 2:27 and I'm out of here.
Why talk about the hidden ghost faces in Scream and not show a single one of them? Horrible video.
I interpreted that as being the background scenery set up to look like Ghostface. For example, the windows behind Wes in the kitchen, or the painting behind Tara when she’s on the phone. But even if that’s the intention, yeah, it’s a bit of a reach.
I really wish you guys would stop spoiling movies without warning
I didn't find It Follows scary at all. Pretty good movie still though.
I wish people would stop pretending that It Follows was in any way a good movie past it's opening 20mins
PLEASE, stop using the same movies over and over in these. Tired of Scream, Jason, Freddy, and all your other usual suspects for lists.
Hereditary was the worst movie ever, you can't even call it an horror movie, a bad comedy maybe
good night mommy is a shameless rip-off of the other ...
