how is this scary, wtf is the close -up, looks like some shitty cheap edited movie. I don't know someone inform me.

@MsDissasociative you have to watch the whole movie to get the full effect. It's not about what the effect looks like, it's about what the effect actually is. The idea that she is facing some monstrous side of her own psyche is what's scary, not necessarily just the face itself.

Goddamn, this is scary shit. I watched this alone at midnight with a huge surround audio system. I kind of expected a creepy movie, but not this. That face might just be the most disturbing and horrifying thing ever put in a movie. I couldn't sleep the entire night.

And the other scene where Nikki simply walks into a close-up, scaring the living shit out of me? Jesus Christ, Lynch knows how to make movies seem like nightmares.

I hated this film when I saw it in the theatres... any after all this time, I still cannot shake some of the imagery of this creepy film. I actually am waiting for them to show it in a revival house, so I can sit through it again. Absolutely disturbing vision. Pure Lynch. The film just needed more of a script and maybe to be cut down by a half hour.

Like others said, its the 2 hours of buildup. The rest of the movie uses shadows, emptiness and general strangeness to unnerve you. So when the climax starts its extremely jarring, because you expected some kind of melt in or butt-in from the shadows, not the antagonist getting in your face in bright light like a damned lunatic.

scary as all hell. That's the thing about nightmares and the subconscious: in the rational, cold light of day it might not be as scary, but when you're seeing in the right context it's pretty scarring. Good grief, I just about peed my pants at this.

I'm so happy i didn't see this in theaters(not like i could anyway). I would have jumped 30 feet.

This must have scared the living piss out of audiences in the first screening! It appears for the weird end being is a dude wearing a white stocking with weird shit projected onto it. David Lynch is the master of horrifying images!

I love this...

This scene is wonderfully dreadful,

and I love this movie....

as well as Muholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Twin Peaks: FWWM. Those are the best ones.
