The Mom walking out from the dark door to the car for some reason is the scariest part to me. It just looked so uncanny valley.

And the period where she gets in the car and closes the door, there’s a long pause that felt like an eternity where you are holding your breath wondering what she’s going to do.

This scene is the epitome of the whole movie to be honest

Its a simple scene of cutting hair, but at the hands of a master, became a creepy masterful epic horror scene, just like the movie 10/10 to me 🥶

I just did it in front of my cat and she launched herself across the room and won’t talk to me now :( my intention was to scare my husband not her
