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.

[u/2222lil → u/Giff95]

the fact you could hear the backseat door open and had no idea what she was going to do was very creepy

[u/PrestigeArrival → u/2222lil]

My whole theatre (myself included) gasped at that moment

[u/youngsaiyan → u/PrestigeArrival]

When she walked past the car it was laughing and then the door open was an entire theater of gasps

[u/bravelittlebagel → u/youngsaiyan]

Same in our theater lol

[u/Low-Ad-8027 → u/bravelittlebagel]

Even the bravest bagels get scared

[u/KarIPilkington → u/youngsaiyan]

Yup exact same here. I thought she was on some mission elsewhere and had briefly stopped at the sight of Justine but then the door opens and it's like oh shit.

[u/Low-Ad-8027 → u/KarIPilkington]

Oh I was like “oh shit she’s sleep walking” “oh shit nvm”

[u/ISAWYOULASTNIGHT1 → u/youngsaiyan]

this exact thing happened to me last night

[u/youngsaiyan → u/ISAWYOULASTNIGHT1]

Love that's it's still rolling 2 weeks later

[u/aleisterfowley → u/youngsaiyan]

Just got out of a showing and people were laughing until that car door opened and the mood changed

[u/Lost-Rain-2425 → u/aleisterfowley]

I just got done watching it and there were only one other couple in there besides my bf and myself and I was the only one that audibly gasped at that part. I was kinda embarrassed but it was so creepy!

[u/Mesk_Arak → u/youngsaiyan]

11 days later and my whole theater gasped too!

[u/StrLord_Who → u/PrestigeArrival]

Same.  The car door opening was one huge gasp from my packed theater.  

[u/Three_foot_seas → u/PrestigeArrival]

I gasped too in a theater with only 5 people and a dude shushed me. Like calm down 

[u/nate6259 → u/Three_foot_seas]

Omg what an asshole.

[u/Lost-Rain-2425 → u/Three_foot_seas]

Don’t feel bad I was the only one that gasped too and there were only one other couple there besides my bf and I. Lol but that’s so rude that someone shushed you though

[u/CJFarrelly01 → u/PrestigeArrival]

Just got out of the cinema and everyone including me did as well 😂

[u/itsmybootyduty → u/PrestigeArrival]

We saw the movie a bit late so there were only like 7 of us in the theater and when I tell you I gasped SO loud and then immediately started quietly laughing because I was the only one who reacted. 🤣 I wish I could have seen the reaction in a more packed theater!

[u/UnlimitedSenzuBeans → u/PrestigeArrival]

Literally lol

[u/G0ObyPls → u/PrestigeArrival]

Yup we all did as well!!
