A shot is set up in such a way where it looks fine from one angle, then they reveal another that makes it look way worse

Infinity War - Thanos reveals Nebula hanging up imprisoned, then when the camera follows Gamora going to her we see that mechanical components are stretched out and her head and body are in pieces.

Breaking Bad - Hector sets off a bomb in a murder suicide against Gus but he seems to walk out fine impossibly, then the camera moves to in front of him and you see half of his face is just not there anymore.

Hereditary:- Charlie’s death and the aftermath

After peter parks, he silently goes to bed, leaving his mother to discover what happened the next morning. Peter drives home with Charlie’s body in the car

God, when the scene with Charlie hit, it was so sudden after the panic of (i think) needing to breath from an allergy. The way the camera is just latched onto Peter's face so close, the tension of him trying to look in the backseat as the camera shifts to see what's behind him, the flash of what you see before it snaps right back to his panic-stricken face. And then Toni Collette's scream the following morning...

Horror done right, because Peter’s face goes through all these emotions and I SWEAR I’m thinking the same things as he is! (Don’t look, but I gotta look, NONONONO DONT LOOK)

I- I'm not very familiar with Amerikan cinema/tv so at the start there assumed you were talking about Charlie Kirk.

I'm gonna be real (madrid) with you chief. The only horror movie I've ever watched was the 1st fnaf movie.

Wouldn't the 2022 FIFA Worldcup Spain-Morocco match count as a horror movie?

Same reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death tbh. Heard there was a shooting at a rally, opened the first video I saw on twitter and said HOLY SHIT

I feel like a psychopath because everyone was so freaked out by this scene and I found it almost like slapstick? Maybe I watched too much Tom & Jerry growing up? lol
