Let me say i have seen a lot of "horror" "thriller" or otherwise shocking movies, but i never found myself grabbing my seat like that.
Just very few movie scenes really gave me the creeps. Let me list them:
- "The Cell": First meeting with the boy in the desert - "Lord of the Rings": Galadriel's trial on the ring - Some Stephen King short story movie which i can't remember its title: A monster crushing an airplane's turbine
And "Signs" has loads of scenes that really gave me the creeps. More than once i found myself grabbing the seat or jumping off it.
The most shocking parts were not things you see but rather things hinted by shadows, noises and movement from the corner of the eye.
For sure one of the best movies in 2002.
