Can we take a moment to appreciate the acting of the girl in The Curve? Goddamn that fear was believable

"Curve" gave me chills. It spoke to me on a personal level. Balancing on the edge of sanity, literally holding on with your fingernails to not fall in a pit of despair and dissappear forever. Slowly getting higher and higher just to sink back even lower than you were before. Almost like fighting depression and trying to keep your will to live and not commit suicide. But the ground beneath you is very steep, and rain just starts to fall, because life doesn't care if you slip. The end left a hallow feeling in my chest. Amazing!!

that second one really got to me, as someone who has diagnosed psychosis, the feeling of fear she had was so real. she brought the knife with her because she thought she was running from a person, and then she realised that the thing she was dealing with wasn't physical. it was mental. she needed an escape from the fear that thing brought her and the only way she thought to do it was to try and blind herself; when that worked, something else took it's place: the breathing. she thought the only way to get rid of it was to make it so she cant see it, slapping her face and covering her eyes and ears to make it just go away.

"I've never seen pictures of Virgin Mary's feet." is a sentence I never thought I would hear in a lifetime but Jack proved me wrong.

It's so funny to me that horror will sometimes have a moral or a deeper meaning like grief, loss, mental illness, etc. Then sometimes it's like "hey wouldnt it be fucked up if this happened?" Sometimes by the same author

"Why would you bring that home?" The most like, poignant and starkly accurate response to a horror situation I've ever seen.

I like the first one, Curve. It isn't about being creepy, spooky, or jumpscares. It derives the "scary" factor from the anxiety it portrays and provokes.

Jack: Trying to see if clown is in any other scenes

I can only watch these with Jack's commentary it feels so nice being able to look to the right and see an intrigued Irish man instead of the horror.

Personally, the scream at

I had an incident in which I had climbed a small mountain alone. Nobody knew where I was and the rock was slick. I slid into a position not quite as precarious however my feet hung off an edge leading to a drop that would've most likely killed me. Props to the filmmakers for capturing the feeling of anxiety perfectly.

Noones really talking about Vesuvius so I will. Absolutely chilling. The implied sexual assault before the murder being seen by the character as a "holy act" — the feeling of divine entitlement. But the man was already a creep. The demon also resembled the woman he had been stalking / following.

The curve is perfect, a horror movie doesn't necessarily have to jumpscare you. All it has to do is make you feel fear.

Jack: “you feel it don’t you?” “Something watching you”

“The Curve” was the only one that literally made my palms sweat with nerves. Every time the girl slipped, I felt a wave of tingles go over my feet, like I was slipping too.

Kookie reminded me a lot of childhood, since I was a super anxious kid after my parents scared me so often and I was exposed to a lot of scary imagery at a very young age. Kids’ imaginations are beautiful, but very much wild and out of control. The smallest exaggeration from an adult can be extrapolated into life long fears and anxieties.

I think the reason Mary attacked herself instead of the creature is because he wasn't real in the first place, and a part of her possibly knew that. Having no method of getting rid of him physically, the only thing she could immediately do to ensure that she would never hear or see him again was to remove her senses.

The one with the "Virgin Mary" made me feel so paranoid and so scared of my surroundings, my god, I've never gotten so scared from a video, and i watch a lot of horror

Fun fact: your body has two original fears: the fear of heights/falling and the fear of sudden loud noises. So the curve fear was in everyone’s mind not just the people who have a fear of heights.
