I’m curious what freaked you out? I don’t like horror because of jump scares, but I really enjoyed the story and it wasn’t scary for me except maybe the monkey scene.
Not the one you asked the question to, but for me, it was so different than anything else I had seen on film or even imagined. It wasn’t necessarily scary, just uncomfortable, completely in the dark about what it could be capable of. scary more due to the unknown of it vs oh there’s some claws and mouth, I know how it can hurt me.
I’m reminded of how great Jeepers Creepers was until the campy monster reveal as an example of how movies often show too much or design their monsters in a way that stops the build up of that critical tension that is necessary in a great horror film. I’ve not seen all of Nope, but what I have seen continues to ratchet up the tension because, frankly…what the hell is that thing. Creating something so unfamiliar helps keep things going. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t seen it–i feel like it would fuck me up something awful.
It was because of the scene when the group of of people were sucked in, but still alive and screaming. Then there was a moment where it was implied that they might be able to escape or survive until that fucking thing digested them and there was silence.
The pure terror, then tiny bit of hope followed by more terror AND pain followed by the nothingness is just too much. Brilliant, but fuck that.

The scariest part of Jeepers Creepers is the fucking scumbag director
Wow, I didn’t know. He is a scumbag.
Yea that’s the feeling I had as well, it was an uncomfortable watch.
