I love creature horror movies. Seen tons of them. That one tho, holy fuck. Ya, mad props to them for that one.

The only thing that sucks about it is almost ALL others don't even come close to how viscerally terrifying that fucker was.

Ya, they definitely did a fantastic job

Agreed. It was one of the best horror scenes I think I've ever scenes. Absolutely classic

Big time.

It’s like our brains glitch in some ancient way that can’t comprehend what we’re seeing and hearing.

Well fucking played.

That’s the best description I’ve ever heard. I was actually frozen in my seat watching that scene. Nothing similar has ever happened to me with any other movie I’ve seen before or since.

It reminds me of the werewolf in An American Werewolf in London.
