Lore “Hey that’s not so bad- SWEET JESUS”

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.

In Beyond the Aquila Rift Greta's reveal when she walks into the light. Initially she looks plausibly human, but as more and more of her appears, she's anything but and instead this horrifying spindly spider-like creature.

Whoever designed the monster to appear gradually the way it did knew exactly what they were doing.

Fromsoft is a Japanese video game company. They're famous for Dark Souls, Elden Ring & Bloodborne (among others).

When it comes to design, they're renowned for creepy, unsettling enemies. Bloodborne is the most referenced because of the Lovecraftian inspiration for the bosses in the game.

I strongly disagree, they have spider monster women and they just have regular sexy upper bodies attached to gross spiders.
