I remember when I was younger my dad told me all the bugs seen in the movie are real and live in the forest next to us, I didn't go in our backyard for so long...
You know what i appreciate most about this scene is the lack of hyper horrific sounds made by the bugs. Like real bugs dont roar and growl like in alot of movie potrayals. The quiet popping of joints and soft squelching is enough to send chills up the spine
@@Paraphytebugs can't make vocalisations nor sounds like vertebrates can because they don't have vocal cords nor a throat but they can make sounds by rubbing other body parts and organs like crickets
To be honest, after all he’s sacrificed and all the people who’s lives were taken just so people could see what wonders were on that tape,he’s kind of got a right to be mad that all of it was for nothing.
Ednimo he wasn't a good guy tough. All he cared about is his footage. He didn't give a shit about those two guys who died who happened to work with him.
It terrified me when i was young, now it just fascinates me and, indeed, gives me chills beyond anything before. No matter how many times i watch this scene, it amazes me the CGI old films had
Andy Serkis's death in this scene is incredibly disturbing, he was trying his best to survive but the worms ate him alive. What happened to his body next is up to your imagination.
@Michael Wilson you can easily make that happen by jumping into lions enclosure,or into the lake full of crocs or aligators,or just swimming in shark infested waters,you'll be eaten by one of those for sure :)
@HeckaRandom It's a figure of speech. But if you want the literal: 5 blood worms + 1 head + 2 Legs + Two arms = one guy getting his blood sucked dry on multiple angles before they even digest him.
That one guy who gets pulled in by a pincer at 3:01 will always unsettle me the most. I don't know if it's his screams of despair, or the mystery of whatever it is inside the hole... it just unsettles me more than seeing the others' deaths.
FAIL. Giant insects cannot exist in an atmosphere that is only 20% oxygen (since they have no lungs). They would quickly suffocate. They need at least 40% to survive at this gigantic size (as proved by history) .
What I loved about this scene is how its eeriely silent. Just the sound of screams and skittering and slithering. The scene itself felt raw and intense.
One of the reasons why this is my favorite scene in the entire movie is the lack of suspenful action music. There’s no adrenaline pumping music, but instead it’s filled with this eerie, almost depressing melody. So all we can focus on is the characters fighting off the bugs. And when they start to get out numbered, we genuinely wonder how they’re going to make it out alive. This, added with the incredible CGI (for a 2005 movie), is what makes it such a great scene. Because it’s not made to be an action sequence, it’s made to show humans fighting to survive.
3:28 I never thought I would say this, but Andy Serkis being eaten alive by a horde of gigantic penises is one of the most terrifying things in any movie I’ve ever seen
Can I just say that, goddamn this scene is powerful. The depths of the pit alone is so deep, the quiet music and the sound design, the way that the characters relentlessly fight for their lives only to be consumed by the bugs, and the pit. Fuck it’s fantastic
The first half of the scene was really creepy. It was super haunting how quiet it was. People were being dragged away with barely a sound. Super eerie choice for a scene.
He was a badass as well. Notice that all he wanted to do was stop the insects from eating his mate on the floor. Everyone else stayed away from the suckers, but he went back.
It should. The best horror has a permiating feel that what your watching came onto the screen by complete accident. Even though it never does. You feel like Sinister was just a movie about a family until shit hits the fan. You feel like the filmers didn't even know the creepy thing is in the window cause nobody acknowleges it. And that makes your jump out of your seat a thousand times bigger.
2:54 I love how that lobster thing fell like a cartoon character being knocked out lol If i was in Jack Black´s shoes that would boost my confidence to beat up more giant bugs XD
Fun Fact: The worms in this scene are real, and their real life counterparts are known as bloodworms (Glycera). They’re polychaetes that can be found at the bottom of shallow marine waters, and are thankfully very small in size. They bite but it’s comparable to a mere bee sting.
The reason I loved this scene was because it showed humans could defend themselves without using guns despite the one guy using a gun to clear a few crickets, but jack black was like the smaller human form of king kong.
1: how the fuck did he shoot with his eyes closed and not hit the other guy 2: I like how 80% of the roaches tried to take down the biggest threat: Jack Black
I know this may be common knowledge, but for those who don’t know the bugs are by name, they are as follows (time stamps are the place where you first see them): 2:05 Carnictis (the giant tapeworms) 2:22 Weta Rex (the giant crickets) 3:00 Deplectors (giant crabs that live in the walls) 3:07 Arachno-claw (lobster/spider hybrid) 2:54 Decarnocimex (close to the ground carnivorous relatives of mole crickets) (Jack Black fights a few)
Yeah, I thought this was like a 2015 movie, I'm surprised!!! Also I wonder how did the actors even represent what they were feeling so well if they didn't feel, see or hear anything!!!?
Man, props to whoever was in charge of the scoring for this scene. They did great I really added like a Lovecraftian vibe to the scene. Gave me a sense of wonder, but also existential dread at the same time. 😭
@@Based_normie The reason cameraman died in this film was because he was being filmed by another cameraman. The only weakness of cameraman and at it's most vulnerable state is being filmed
I can't take any movie with Jack black in it seriously. Writers didn't have the guts to kill him off in the scene he was supposed to die in due to celebrity status
You should see the video 10 ways to horribly die in skull island You are alive inside one of the creatures digestive system for 2 days While getting all your skin and muscles tissue getting dissolved off by the stomach acid for 2 days
One day I was laying on bed, playing with my phone. The lights were closed, the only thing I could see was my phone. Then a little insect passed from my screen, I thought it was one of these little flies that you always see in toilet. Then it passed again, it did again but this time it stayed still, and get on my phone. I shaked my phone to make it fly, it fell of my phone. I looked it with the light of my screen (not my flash) it was on my pillow next to my head, it was a spider idk why but its color was white.Then I jumped off my bed, I was so scared because I have arachnophobia (not sure if I wrote it right). Then I opened my flash looked at my roof and wall, it was full of spiders. Then I saw the mother it was black (its not black widow dont worry but I dont know the kind) and I sleeped at couch for a week. My mother killed all the spiders, but I still cant sleep nicely and soundly.
This is probably one of the scenes that has freaked me out the most in just about any movie I've seen, particularly when it came to the giant carnivorous works/slugs eating that guy and dragging him into the depths alive...
This scene has Adrien Brody as an action hero, a single flare holding off every insect and arachnid for 50 square yards, and that insane accuracy with a full auto firearm. This movie was ridiculous.
If you're wondering how the graphics look so good despite being from 2005, the answer is they didn't do CGI. They actually filmed it in Australia, these are Australian trained pets
2:44 - I love the music choice James Newton Howard made here. Use a calm, melodic, enchanting piece of music instead of horror/action music. Makes you think maybe they’ll be able to band together and win. And then slowly the choir turns dark and dissonant, making it very clear that this won’t have a happy ending. He could’ve easily used bombastic action music but opted not to. That’s the mark of a brilliant composer.
Chris Hill Studios have made it a habit now to go with whoever can provide the cheapest, uncredited CGI rather than looking to spend the money on cutting edge artists who can make something that’ll last forever. Shame Peter Jackson could make such beautiful films (LoTR, King Kong) but fall flat on his face with The Hobbit.
Can't believe so many people hated this movie... I used to have the three hour version. It is very intense all around. Love the white Snoop Dogg actor as well as BlackJack. That worm scene is one of the most horrifying and saddest things I have ever seen.
I can believe it - at least some people have an adequate IQ. This was a terrible corny mess of a scene. Apparently you can shoot directly at someone with an automatic weapon and totally miss them? The bugs and leeches are all working together? Who thinks of this shit and what type of person finds this even a tad convincing.
