i was legit watching the remaining seconds of the clip and bracing myself on the chair whilst holding my chest for a potential jump scare/heartattack 😱💀😂😂
It’s the fact that I actually paused the video and almost picked another video when the boat tipped and all I saw was bubbles. And just a TAIL. A TAIL AND THAT STIL SCARED ME. This animation is peak.
@@muratbayraktar5035 Yeah,i love the ocean,but imagine sometimes what it would be like if the world's biggest tidle wave was coming and what would be going through everyone's mind's? Or what it would have been like when God flooded the Earth?
The real scary part is that once the boat is upside down, there is no turning it back over. He has to climb on top of the boat, which is so much worse.
@@kymo6343unless you are super man you can’t turn it over without it taking on water and sinking. There is barnacles on the bottom of a boat, very sharp.
Do you guys know the sharknarock in hungry shark evolution that is a leviathan or a sea sea serpent but these are real in the deepest in the bottom of the sea if you see this you will die of claustrophobia if you see one of those swim faster before is too late
@@kymo6343 Because it's impossible to bear the weight when you are treading water and not solid ground. Imagine floating in water and trying to push an even slightly heavy object up above your head. You are just going to sink. You would face the same problem in trying to push the boat in the air enough to turn it past it's centre of mass.
Forreal, and how we can't see clearly right away either because of the bubbles. No idea where the beast is. Is it gone? Is it behind me? Is it under my feet?
me too, I actually experienced something similar irl and I got instant ptsd watching this video. its actually frightening falling off since at that moment your at the mercy of the water. even though it was in a landlocked lake and my family was nearby, I felt like my life was in danger
This is one of the best thalassophobia/megalophobia videos I've seen. No cheap jumpscare, nothing trying to eat you, just a really big unknowable beast that doesn't care about you in the slightest. It invokes the fear of the ocean and what lies beneath in such an impactful way.
Honestly the video not jumpscaring us scared me even more than if it did. 💀💀 *The uneasy feeling you have of watching it just drift back down into the depths completely unfazed is terrifying.*
What intrigues me the most about this is that, in spite of literally being a recreation of a nightmare, this still ended with whatever that.. thing was simply swimming down into the deep instead of outright attacking. Not only is that more accurate to what might happen in this kind of situation had it been in real life, something quite unusual for a dream; it's something of a mercy, arguably. Then again, perhaps it paying no mind to whoever was in that boat only makes it worse in a way - a creature just wanting to eat you triggers the flight or fight response, but a creature being so vast that it doesn't even seem to notice a person, let alone have any reason to attack them, scares people on a level far more psychological than just a physical threat.
yea I agree, this if there were sea monsters of this magnitude in size...they wouldnt bother eating a human which isn’t going to feed them much anyways. Prob on hunt for bigger meals, it’s an animal after all, not some malovolent being. Seriously, they did experiment with cats chasing small bugs, only house cats and maybe servals and savannah cats cared....lions , tigers,, bob cats, etc (bigger predators) did not care for the tiny insect light but all smaller cats did....jsut cause bigger predators know wouldnt give much nutrition so wouldnt bother with it.
Honestly, "so big that it doesn't care about you" isn't really that scary. That already applies to like humpbacks and stuff. I think what makes this scary is the unknown and the *potential* physical threat. SOMETHING huge knocked over your boat. And now you're stranded in the ocean, and whatever it was is just swimming below you in the dark somewhere.
@@Ishtarru I'd rather it chomp and end me in one bite rather than leaving me stranded out there. Fuck the ocean man i'ma stay in the land of 10,000 Lakes.
@@memerman7608 with a body that large, active predation is simply too energy inefficient. There's a reason why the largest sea predator is the orca, which is far smaller than most whales. There's a high chance that this thing is just a filter feeder, and that it knocked us off the boat either accidentally or to play
I genuinely love when fear gets described with no jump scare or with one of the most brain wrecking pictures known to human kind. This is scary, it all happened so fast, there were a lot of feelings trough out this short video. Congrats.
@@justajoltikmost horror movies nowadays are jump scares and loud screams every 5-10 minutes… the truly great horror movies won’t do this to you, they’ll simply leave you with an unnerving feeling the whole time that sticks with you after you leave the theatre
Ah, there he is. I accidentally flushed him down the toilet while cleaning the aquarium, what a pity! I've been wondering what became of him. It's a joy to see how big he has grown and that he sings so happily. Thanks for the video!
True, for me it's the poor visibility and incompetence humans have in water. We wouldn't even get the privaledge to view it clearly and tell where it's going. It could pop back in from another direction to devour you, or it could be migrating away
Leviathan in the Bible simply refers to a crocodile. Behemoth is a hippo. Job observed them from a close distance or perhaps didn’t ever seen them but God was describing them. They are not monsters like they are portrayed here.
@@otherworld_vfx6411ne thing to add is that you could make eardrum splitting sfx when it roared because sperm whales are capable of exploding your brain in your head by singing if you are deep enough
I mean unless you count the Livyatan which is a extinct whale that used to hunt megs and other large whales. Other then that, a blue whale could easily fit the size range of a leviathan and was most likely the creature responsible for the idea of sea monsters back when sailors were becoming a thing.
Loved How the leviathan just swimmed away, he didnt got demon mode and attacked the person in the boat, he just continued to swim, Just like an actual animal would do, great job with the animation!
Such a cool video, great VFX! This is why I love VR so much, can't wait for a game like this in the future with this level of detail, and immersion.. being able to see a mythological giant sea beast is nearly impossible in real life... but VR can make it feel real, and give an epically terrifying experience without putting you in actual danger.
Dude, this is so amazing. Perfect manifestation of a nightmare of someone who has thalassophobia. Good grief. It was so good, I was unable to make it past 12 seconds.
I highly commend you for not adding some mediocre and asinine jumpscare towards the end. I think that was the best, most intelligent and mature decision. The seas don't need some cheap shudder coining to awaken old instinctual terrors that usually and best lie dormant. I struggle to even call fear of the sea for a phobia as it should rightly be an instinctual compulsion in any sane man.
@@allen-castle I kinda agree with him. The sea makes us incredibly vulnerable. We're among the most dangerous land animals, but we're useless in water.
Maybe not a jumpscare, but have it end as you see the Leviathan START to turn around or you just BARELY see it's head slowly reappearing from the emptiness.
I really love how you only see part of it in the animation. It leaves a huge air of mystery of what it the rest of it could look like and how large it could actually be which, at least to me, is a lot scarier then just showing a giant sea monster.
When I was a child, I was terrified to swim in lakes because I always thought there was a monster in the lake. This brought back the phobia all over again.
The Leviathan is known for its large skull and massive teeth, indicating it was a powerful predator. This creature lives in the oceans, likely an apex predator, preying on large marine animals.The Leviathan was around 43 to 59 feet in length.and god himself said personality wise the leviathan is like wild horses that refuses to be tamed.
And the behemoth is only mentioned once in Biblical text, in a speech from the mouth of God himself in the Book of Job. The behemoth is a primeval creature created by me and is so powerful that not even I can overcome him: Take now behemoth, whom I made as I did you; He eats grass, like the cattle,has the bravery of the African lion and will defend him and his species like the lion and the eliphants.
I like this. Every Thalassophobia animation out there is just giant monster comes and attacks the camera or attacks someone. This is just deep, dark water and a vague large creature. There's an actual mystery to it.
This might be the best Thalassophobia video I came across. It's not about something big trying to attack you underwater. It's about something enormous like this exist in the vast and deep ocean and it just came to show up to you and do nothing and continue to dive into the ocean, the feeling of being so small in an unknown huge and deep ocean is what made Thalassophobia scary.
I have SEVERE thalassophobia, and every once in a while I try to expose myself to a short little clip to get some psuedo exposure therapy, and I can watch them usually, but this had me set my phone down and just walk away within a few seconds. Well done.
I have pretty bad thalassophobia (sometimes get panicky even in small swimming pools) but I like testing my limits so I tried to watch. After taking off my headphones, making the video really small, leaning back, I almost made it all the way through the video. Excellent job, very scary 👍
I can’t even get past the actual falling into the water. I’m literally paused on the splash right now and can’t get myself to press play, even with the video as small and far away from me as I can make it.
Reading comments like these makes me glad that I don't have this phobia. I actually wish I could swim with sharks and whales.. maybe one day? That said, I have a phobia of roaches and unfortunately those are almost impossible to avoid unlike the phobia you guys have, so 😂
@@thedarklord9546 man me too, i love to swim in the sea but i'm scared to death of big creature in water. So i make sure i always swim near the beach, i will probably have an heart attack seeing a whale in real life. And i can t even watch a second of this video after the boat turn upside down, i just can't...
So I’m reading the Eighty-Six(86) light novels/ anime and one of the novels has a sea battle. It’s between the humans against machines(called Legion) Leviathan makes it’s appearance and completely destroys one of the biggest threat. Even in the story the people that live by the sea respect the Leviathan and know if you’re going into the sea you’re in their territory. This clip made my heart pound because this is exactly how they describe the Leviathan. Thank you for making this!
The fact that my brain immediately goes "omg I wanna swim after it I wonder what else cool might be down there" both worries me and tells me that I do not have thalassophobia 😂😂😂
I don't have that fear (quite the opposite, I loved the idea of a massive creature like that), but the pacing, sound, visuals, etc. of this were really on point and got the fear across really well
i like hw it shows this beast as a animal, it didnt turn around to attack something that would be worth more energy than what was needed and gained from such a small meal as a human
This is terrific. My favourite part is when the viewpoint is still on the surface, in the boat, and we see the creature approaching. I'd have liked this part to have lasted much longer. The clear, naked realness of it all, paradoxically, makes it somehow more dreamlike.
The game Subnautica made me feel in a way I never felt before. A kind of primordial fear, the kind that sends shivers coursing throughout your entire body. This, achieved just that. The cries of aquatic beasts just shake me to my core.
Yeah i really hope one of these days they make a game like subnautica but with more realistic graphics to really get people scared. And make it vr as well, that would be insane.
" Detecting multiple leviathan class life-forms in the area. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it? " Why does it look like the sea-dragon tho-
I was about to dismiss this as a decent animation that probably needs work (the bubbles stop a bit too abruptly when you fall in the water) and was going to show a goofy looking free model of a sea dragon-type thing or smth, but upon seeing the monster was actually surprised at how ingenious it was. The large part of the monster that was thought to be its back or something was actually simply the tail. The tip of the iceberg to the unseen gargantuan behemoth that dives just out of sight. Excellent animation!
What's even better is the fact that, at first it looks like the monster wants to eat you... but when you find out it was just the tail that knocked your boat over, you realize that it was most likely already underneath you before you saw its tail, and that it was looking you over the whole time before deciding you weren't worth its time, the tail hitting your boat most likely being an unintentional result of it diving down into the depths.
@@ChrisM-qo1jc What bothers me more is imagining some kind of weird head was above the water from your side looking at you and you didn't notice it and it went back under the water.
You are in the middle of the ocean, now without your boat, not knowing what could possibly be in the depths, with nothing at all separating you from the dormant terrors that could be down there.. You now realise how small and powerless you truly are. I can't imagine something more unnerving than that, it makes me physically uncomfortable just thinking about it. Well done.
My literal worst nightmare, as a kid i used to imagine something like this back in the days.. the image of someone in a small row boat in the middle of open ocean while there's something large lurks beneath it terrifies me to death. amazing animation! also, THIS was based on your nightmare? that's kinda cool and scary at the same time. i never had this kind of nightmare, if i had one i would've died inside lol.
I love that there are genuinely creatures far larger than this, that a simple call from them is enough to kill us with the vibrations, I love the ocean
This feels too real. The water looks amazing, the sound is perfect, and the way it just brushes by without even attacking adds to the realness. Top that off with the fact that you can't even see the entirety of its body.
I don’t have thalassophobia, I think I’m creeped out by deep blue ocean just like most people would be, but this really got to me. Can’t imagine how people with actual thalassophobia would feel
I can't fuckin' play Subnautica that's what. I get to the edge of the shallows and my own fingers will prevent my little seaboat to go anywhere out further. Like, I was STREAMING and my fingers and subconscious brain would take my finger off the W key and refuse to push it further. Surreal as hell.
@joeywild2011 It took me several attempts to watch a Reaper Leviathan attack to completion without scrolling down from the screen, even without the video being maximized. I can now watch a playthrough without anxiety spikes now that I have seen majority of the content. Took a few more to see modeed content. I'm 33. Phobias are weird man. I had full intentions of pushing that W key to move forward. Your brain will literally prevent your body from making the same action you are telling your brain to do.
This instilled even more fear, the subtle nature, vs trying to scare with intense music and a pop out. I think thats why the original exorcist still holds up against horrors movies today. Everyone tries too hard to make the audience jump when other tactics can do more trauma
What would scare me is the suspense of sitting in the boat after seeing that, dramatic silence, then tipping... thank god it didn't target us underwater...
Very well done, especially that Initial moment where he looks to the right. Would be cool if the creature was much bigger to Warrant the title of Leviathan but its still quite nice regardless
For some reason, the fact that it doesn't even notices the person is the most terrifying thing, it makes you wonder what could happen if it actually notices you
The boat capsizing was the absolute worst (as in most terrifying) part for me. Being in the middle of the ocean on a boat doesn't scare me, and while seeing a huge monster breach and what not next to me would certainly scare me, it's the capsizing and losing any semblance of safety I had that truly does it in for me.
I would NEVER sail out into the open ocean. The constant wonder what's underneath us would drive me insane. This is a perfect example of what I'd be thinking about
I like how the leviathan doesn't even try to eat you because why would it? You're too tiny relative to it to provide it enough calories to even be worth the effort. It's much more like the boat you were in made it curious so it decided to knock it over and see what happened.
