I heard Gen Z was soft but wow. We were watching dismemberment, head explosions, main characters die in torment; I saw Peter Weller turned into Swiss cheese and marinara, I saw Toxie fuck his girlfriend in an alley with his ear melting off, I saw mother Vorhees pulp campers, all before I was thirteen.
I’m Gen X but psychological horror always scared me more than gore. This scene got me good back in the day, and 99% of the whole movie was just building atmosphere. Anyone can show you a scene of someone’s skin getting peeled off to make you uncomfortable, but it takes an artist to genuinely scare you with a cheesy shaky-cam alien.
What scene is that?
It’s from Signs. It’s the first time you see the aliens, from a shakycam newscast. Scared the hell out of little me.
