What's the scariest moment for you?


For me, for whatever reason, it's when Heather is giving her drippy-nosed monologue and a feint branch cracks in the middle of it, and her eyes just instantly dart towards it to look off into the distance...really bothers me for some reason.

When the movie just...ends.

I agree with all of the above. Another good one that hasn't been mentioned yet was when she opened up that bundle of sticks and found the teeth/blood/hair/whatever inside.

Funny story relating to that scene... If you remember, when she first found it outside, she just threw it behind the tent and didn't open it up. According to the creators (who were monitoring them from an undisclosed location), the actors were about to leave the campsite and head to the new location without ever opening up the bundle, so the director had to intervene to tell her to open it up and look inside.

Anyway, I thought that was definitely a standout moment and Heather's reaction was *chef's kiss*. I also like how she kept it from Mike and didn't burden him unnecessarily with that disturbing experience.
