Doug's smile at the end
Remember watching this film many years ago and having the crap scared out of me by that smile. Couldn't go to bed. Anybody else have the same problem?
shareThe zoom on the swordfish's eye scared me too death as a kid.

Yep, could not sleep properly for ages after seeing this as a kid
I was finally able to get a copy of this movie. It scared me to death as a kid !!!. ( I was seven in 1975, I begged my mother to let me stay up and watch this movie. I think it was on a Sunday night at 8 o'clock but it might have been 9 o'clock ). The thing that scared me the most was towards the end when the coast guard finally comes and picks them up and you think everythings going to be all right. But then they get in the helicopter and everything starts to go very wrong. The shot of Kim Novaks face as she is sitting in the helicopter and quietly listening to Haig talking to the coast guard personnel on the boat describing what they see still sent shivers down my spine after watching it for the first time since I was 7. Still a very scary movie.
shareI was 10 or so (now 36) and living in Argentina when I saw this one and yes ! it has to be one of the scariest movie moments I have ever experienced. (of course, that could be because I was only a kid, maybe if I saw it again it wouldn't be very scary).
The film its self is only so so but the endding is magic
I see I'm not the only one had nightmares after that ending. I was 11 at the time and it had me seriously freaked out for a while. My wife is into horror movies and I've told her about this one. I guess I'll have to pick it up.
shareIve been looking for this film for years, ive only recently found out what it was called.
I too only remember the ending hence why its taken so long to find out the title, i was about 5 or 6 when i saw it in South Africa
I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass......and i'm all outa bubblegum
I would have been 12 when i saw this movie on it's first run and to this day remains one of the most chilling movie moments in my life. The moment when Kim Novak begins to smile as the radio report of the truth about who was being lowered from the mast of the ship is being transmitted left me absolutely cold to the bone and while I have had some good scares at the hands of American Cinema, this remains the one that scared me the most...being 12 does't hurt either. I would love to find this movie to see again although I admit I would be nervous.

I saw this when I was 9 and very clearly remember putting on my boots and coat the next morning and going out in the snow; my family had run out for 10 minutes and I was too terrified to be in the house by myself. The swordfish, the priest, the evil smile at the end... I'd love to see this again just to undo the damage it did to my young brain.
