films that made you "jump"

[ricardouk]

Yesterday i was watching "Below" on the tv and to my surprise i jumped a couple of times during it.
My question is: what film made you "jump"?

rememember the Bruce Banner shaving and while looking at the mirror the Hulk smashs it and grabs him? this is what i mean.

That dead German whispering from inside the
body bag was spooky

The Innocents (orig.) made me hit the ceiling. The dead boy turning to show half his head missing in The
Sixth Sense was a jumper and a half!

Anyone recall the bit in The Twilight Zone:The Movie, "do you want to see something REALLY scary?"

I suppose my favorite is the cat in Alien.

White Noise had a couple of tense moments in it. I jumped when he was leaning slowly towards the TV and suddenly BAM! The thing inside screams and hits the glass...

Saw it in the cinema - they had the bass up so loud you could feel the thump in your chest when something shocking happened.

[VCDHunter]

Jaws - that bloody severed head gets me everytime.

I may have to watch the Grudge (original) again to see if has any jump worth bits, I remembr it being bloody scary.

Hi,

Can't really say since horror isn't really a category I watch much.

The first time I saw Jurassic Park , at a special screening with a really juiced up sound system ...

When the goat landed on the windshield is a really fine moment in cinema sound (plus the foot steps leading up to that scene are some great subbass)

Grudge also had some fine moments ..

Hi,



Yeah forgot about that in JP 1 That was very effective

The last movie that really made me jump (in a number of scenes) was The Exorcist when it first came out. I'd previously read the book and knew, going into the theater, that the film was based on a true story. After seeing the film, I couldn't turn out my lights that night.

FWIW, years later, I rented the film. My kid, who'd seen every Halloween flick, had never seen it before and figured it was doddle. But as the film progressed, he started hiding his eyes (grin).

THE MUMMY when the sister is looking for the brother and as she aproaches a tomb everyone knows whats going to happen,but when the brother pops up we still jump.

i remember when i first saw it at the cinema i said F... out loud

I think Star Wars movies fit in that category, they certainly horrify me.

A good one I can think of is when Nicholson smashes through the door with the axe in the shining.

it doesnt have to be a horror film to make you jump.

Does anyone remember seeing the film "Carrie" - the bit at the end when the hand bursts out of the grave!!!! - that made me jump.

Yep, that has been on my mind since i saw it!!! have asked and told many people who have watched it. the only part in the whole movie and i sooo came out of my chair!!! never saw it coming, definately increased the heartbeat

Grudge also had some fine moments ..

Yep, grudge is one of my favs, i don't like hacker & slasher films, not scarey to me, but the grudge never made me jump like that one scene in white noise but it was the best mentally scarey movie i have seen in a looooong time 8)

Yeah proper brown trousers time.

There is a bit in "The Forgotten", I won't spoil it but that is a REAL jumper, not a scary film but that bit!!!!!

[AlecWest]

Hehe. Funny story. When my ex-wife was pregnant with our son, she asked me to take her out to see a film. So, I took her to see Poltergeist. When the scene came up where the guy becomes fearful of his wife's safety and pulls on the rope that extends into a closet, a big demon face comes out of the closet and growls at him. At that moment, my ex jumped up from her seat and screamed ... and everyone in the theater started giggling. She was mightily embarrassed and slinked back into her seat.

Me too.
My wife, who had never seen this, got herself hooked on Stephen King, so I had to get this one for her to watch.
She peed herself when the hand popped up.

A few scenes from The Mothman Prophecies made me jump:

when he rolls over in bead to find his dead wife of two years,

the telephone conversation with Indrid Cold..... 'in your shoe....'

the reflection in the wardroab door mirror when he closes it,

even the artwork is quite scary.........

[hech54]

Alien....I know the script of that damn movie and it STILL gets me too.

[waheed]

Final Destination, when the girl gets hit by the bus. It was sudden and effective.

[tgpo]

I hated The Grudge. It was laughable to me.

When the chick got hit by the bus in Final Destination was a jump point.

When Dana is floating above the bed in Ghostbusters and it gets very quiet and she "barks" all of a sudden is a jump point.

Hi,

Another favorite "jump" point is in Ghostbusters 2 when their in the train tunnel. They're echoing shouts and when Winstons comes back with a ghost shouting his name they start back out - then they turn around and a few dozen heads are floating around them. I know not very deep but the first time you watch it it gets you especially for an 80's PG movie.

The fellowship of the ring, when bilbo tries to grab the ring one last time and his face changes for a second...

That old coot made me jump like a little girl.

yea - was a good effect

[Roz]

I don't know whether this qualifies for "jump" (more like "squirm") but how about the film "Marathon Man" where Dustin Hoffman is sat in the dentist's chair!!!!!

"Is it safe ?"

[SquirrelDip]

I'm with Cobra on "White Noise" - I was in the right mood for the show and did jump for a few scenes.

[waheed]

Is White Noise any good? I haven't seen it yet. May watch it on dvd.

[ricardouk]

"what lies beneath" as a few of them jumpy scenes

[lordsmurf]

Signs
The Mothman Prophecies
The Grudge
Final Destination 2

Just a scene here or there.

[Shadowmistress]

Alot of good mentions here.

One that creeped me out was in The Ring after she climbs through the tv and is walking toward the guy and all of a sudden she walks in fast-forward.

[BJ_M]

that was pretty good -- also
