Carpet Rising

reply

While I do agree with everyone that the carpet rising scene and the scene where the monster is hovering over Denise's bed are both incredibly well done, I think another scene that really creeped the hell out of me was when Jeff is on the roof, right before he gets his neck snapped. The way the camera peers around the protruding pointed roof top really makes my neck hair stand up. I also love when May gets pulled down into the hole and decapitated. I wasn't expecting them to come from the ground as well! Excellent movie, underrated on every level.

I love the final scene with the bent front gate.

Yeah, that is pretty cool. His eyes are freaky!!

I think the mongloid rising up under the carpet was my favourite. It was so unexpected and gave me the chills.

The carpet rising scene is extremely well done. I also love the scene where the figure is standing over Denise as she lies in bed. The angle makes him look monstrously big, very creepy.

The villain in this movie is sooooo underated, especially in 80s horror. This one went under the radar and is much better than some of the slasher flix it was ushered into the decade with, including Prom Night. There are some good well done scenes in this one, but I have to agree with a previous poster, the end scene. It presented a memorable visual for some reason. A mutated bad guy on a bent iron gate at the crack of dawn.


What about Bob?

I like when Peter finds his friend dead hanging on the rope and then gets chased by Andrew through the hedgemaze or w/e, it was really suspenseful.

When Linda is running through the maze of tunnels and her big titties are bouncing up and down. It's the only reason I watched the film, sad bastard that I am.

Unc John "We makin' trouble?"
Stacy "Yeah"
Unc John "What kind?"
Stacy "...The forever kind"

When Seth runs out the mansion, Marti and Jeff following him.

After finding May's head in the bed and Denise missing.

Love the musical score that plays, very creepy.

Then once he climbs the gate and goes for help, the scene with Marti and Jeff going back into Garth Manor. Way it was shot totally sold the fear they had.

This is one of the most criminally underrated 80's slashers, never really got the respect it deserves.
