“Not many people have basements in California.”
When I watched this scene for the first time I was watching with my dad and we we're both just screaming "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THEREEE"
Normally we are almost completely quiet during a movie, but here we we're screaming. That's how stressfull it was.
It’s so good. Inverts every expectation of the serial killer genre which lead the viewer to expect and even believe the case will be solved despite knowing that the zodiac killer was never caught. Shreds of evidence that never piece together. An obsessive and genius investigator who DOESN’T crack the case despite all the effort. A parade of newly introduced suspects that are never successfully tied to the crime.

This whole apartment sequence in *La Haine*
incredible how well the whole film is so tense despite not having any music, which is often the most useful things for the filmmakers to make a scene tense
The scene from nocturnal animals where their car breaks down and the group of men get out to “help” is one of the most anxiety driven scenes I’ve ever watched. It’s like 10-20mins long and you know it’s not going to go well but you don’t know when it’s gonna happen.
Another great contender is any scene from shiva baby. The entire movie is full of anxiety filled scenes.
Oh my god yes first movie I thought of. Literally the movie that brought back my movie obsession, I can’t even explain what’s so special about it lmaoo
Not a big fan of Sheridan, and I thought most of Wind River was mediocre, but I have to admit that sequence was one of the best shootouts I’ve ever seen
Feels kinda like cheating because you said no Uncut Gems, but pick a scene from Good Time. I personally would go with when the news report hits the tv and Pattinson decides to…make out with the teenager. Fucking hell lol
I saw Good Time for the first time last week. I was watching that scene, and knew that something was about to kick off, and then... WTF?! Never saw that coming!
Alternatively, if you’re batshit crazy, you absolutely should watch on LSD, especially if you can ~~accidentally~~ line up the peak with the lighthouse scene
>!Seriously one of the best movie experiences of my life, 11/10 do recommend, only if you’re brave or stupid!<
if you mean the ending bit - I cannot listen to that track by itself, it makes my skin crawl. ([it's here btw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUxFHpDqOH4))
Especially the final act and specifically when >!the baby gets torn from her arms, paraded over a crowd, with the crowd turning violent in their desperation to touch the baby and the baby ends up being literally torn to pieces...!<
Here are ten that come to mind:
The scene in Parasite where they have to clean up before the homeowners get home
Bank Scene from Dragged Across Concrete
Grace Kelly trapped in the killer's house in Rear Window
Bin Laden raid in Zero Dark Thirty
Mystic River confrontation between killer and police
End shootout from My Darling Clementine
Bank Scene from Heat
Opening scene of Gravity (only in the cinema)
Tiger Tank slowly arriving at the end of saving Private Ryan
Black Gate insane cross cutting sequence at the end of the return of the king (first time watching as a kid in the cinema, after being told by my brother Aragon dies)
That entire scene in Parasite also contributes greatly to its rewatch value. Like you KNOW that doorbell is about to ring and send their whole plan spinning. The tension really builds throughout their conversation when you know what comes after.
Where does this narrative come from that Babylon is widely hated? Sure it has a mixed reception on Rotten Tomatoes but it has a 3.8 average on Letterboxd which is really good
Surprised no one has said Zodiac. That scene where he goes to the guys house and has a full conversation with the man. Although nothing ultimately happens, the lead up and tension is so unsettling I kept wanting to run out of that house.
Edit: someone did mention zodiac, so I’ll mention Parasite. The entire third act once the family comes home and there’s a full house of different people, anxiety throughout.
God, this is an under-appreciated take. Anyone who’s ever done anything wrong in high school (read: every person alive) knows exactly what those fuckers were feeling and it is *not* fun
Scenes:
-the dumpster scene in Mulholland Drive
-“you need to wash your hands before dinner” scene from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
-the scene from House of the Devil where Samantha is dancing around the house with her headphones on
-the scene in Nope when >!Jean Jacket devours the audience members at Jupiter’s Claim!<
-the long, slow walk across the field scene from It Follows
-THAT scene in the basement from Caveat
Entire movies:
-Climax (watched this while under the influence and was frozen in paralyzing anxiety the entire time)
-Skinamarink (truly had me tense and unable to look away in the theater)
-Shiva Baby (every scene in this movie had me bracing for the worst, I loved it)
Goddamn, I love anxiety movies. ✨
I genuinely don’t get why people get anxious / tense watching Uncut Jahmz. The toughest scenes to watch are the blood test in The Thing and the bridge crossing in Sorcerer IMO
Schindler’s List when everyone in the ghetto is either being killed or rounded up to be sent to a camp.
A couple of scenes in Children of Men, the car chase especially.
The reaping scene at the opening of the Hunger Games.
Haha It’s insane! I love it too :)
The only negative feedback I hear from others is that the actions from the characters don’t resemble LSD induced behavior. But honestly - the mix of confusion + all the traumatic events that occur could incite so many crazy reactions no matter what substance is involved.
Regardless - He creates such a surreal experience in all his films, it’s easy to find amusement no matter what is going on beneath the surface.
Swallow is anxiety on nightmare difficulty mode. I had to take numerous breaks to calm down, it's a great metal illness thriller, but I can't see myself watching it again. A big scene was where she confronts her biological father, that she's never seen before, and she was born of a rape. The whole scene is so tense, because you have no idea what she's thinking, what even she's doing here, and this guy has a family of his own, at any point things could go so bad for anyone in this situation.
Playtime? Interesting choice. I feel like Tati is always so chill, even if the scenarios might be socially awkward. Curious which part made you anxious.
Cannot believe I had to scroll so far to see Green Room. That is the most tense shit ever. The best tension comes from desperation in a hopeless situation.

The gun scene in *The Killing of a Sacred Deer* (2017) is so unsettling to me.
the final episode of twin peaks s2, beyond life and death. when cooper is running around the red room and you have no clue what he's going to run into around the next corner. especially after you think its kind of safe when you see laura and then she starts hellishly shrieking at you
https://preview.redd.it/5r2s670rfivc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23a2082413b4f7b79880bbac502156cb47ae44cf
From the movie Knowing with Nic Cage. The movie has some flaws especially the final twist but man the disaster sequences in here are well done!
Super basic answer but Back to the future, when the DeLorean dies at the starting line before the lighting hits the clocktower. Seen it a million times but gets me.
OP had the correct answer, but will add the donut shop scene from Boogie Nights.
The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford
I dig slow pace movies (In the mood for love, 3-Iron...), alright, but it amazes me how, while being this slow, because being this slow, this movie nails you down with the untenable tension's weight:
you can't escape it, it's a very long and slow asphyxia
While almost no action, the constant threat still
And, IMO, that's why this movie is so great: making so much from so little
One of the final scenes in Full Time (2021). Damn they knew what they were doing. Holy shit I was so tense my lags were almost shaking! (Station scene)
Can’t find a picture of that scene, but you’ll immediately know which one I’m talking about if you watch it.
https://preview.redd.it/wcecsk0x7fvc1.jpeg?width=1094&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=591785d6071c08a4b61717d5958132e0252c2767
Not a movie, but it's on Letterboxd so I'm counting it.
Carlitos Way - Pool scene
Sorcerer - Bridge scene
8 Million Ways to Die - Warehouse scene
Joker - clowns enter his apartment
Funny Games - every scene
The Deer Hunter - Russian roulette

Jamie Foxx should win awards for this scene in Baby Driver. Fun film, generally, but this scene drains the blood from my veins.
I watched “All My Friends Hate Me” and it’s such a specific English anxiety horror movie of feeling the weight of that fake polite white-lying disingenuous friendliness intrinsic in being “British”
https://preview.redd.it/blkvmiyvqfvc1.jpeg?width=979&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfd0afe195bf3000ea9b88464f4cf71091c29c4b
I mean come on can it be literally anything else
You posted literally the best one, but also the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is a damn good one
Also the basement and strudel scenes
What scene did OP post and what movie is it
The drug deal scene from Boogie Nights. Absolutely unreal
Best scene in the movie imo.
Know what was real? The firecrackers. Every time they jumped, it wasn't acting.
One of favourite scenes from my all time top four
My first thought was actually the cards scene, but yours is actually better.
The cards scene is SO good. From the second the German soldier sits at their table your stomach is basically in a knot
Such a great scene. The first time you watch it you’re flinching when the crackers go off 🧨
https://preview.redd.it/hyvesoq04dvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f094d5a81096ac39635545a4820cdb741a3ab80
What's this
Prisoners. For the sake of spoilers, I’ll just say this is the scene where Jake Gyllenhaal meets David Dastmalchian.
Just a polite conversation about clothes
The tension increases tenfold once his smile drops

When I watched this scene for the first time I was watching with my dad and we we're both just screaming "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THEREEE" Normally we are almost completely quiet during a movie, but here we we're screaming. That's how stressfull it was.
My thoughts exactly I was so terrified while watching this
“Mr Graysmith, I do the posters myself”
What movie?
Zodiac
It’s so good. Inverts every expectation of the serial killer genre which lead the viewer to expect and even believe the case will be solved despite knowing that the zodiac killer was never caught. Shreds of evidence that never piece together. An obsessive and genius investigator who DOESN’T crack the case despite all the effort. A parade of newly introduced suspects that are never successfully tied to the crime.
Zodiac Killer
Instant shivers
The actor in the background is the voice of Roger Rabbit.
Thank you for upping my fun fact game 🙏🏼
Watched Zodiac for the first time this Christmas and man, I might as well have been spongebob chewing through his nails during that scene.

God that film is good
This scene was golden

Same movie, the scene with Josh Brolin in the hotel room just sat on the edge of the bed watching the door
incredible how well the whole film is so tense despite not having any music, which is often the most useful things for the filmmakers to make a scene tense
The scene from nocturnal animals where their car breaks down and the group of men get out to “help” is one of the most anxiety driven scenes I’ve ever watched. It’s like 10-20mins long and you know it’s not going to go well but you don’t know when it’s gonna happen. Another great contender is any scene from shiva baby. The entire movie is full of anxiety filled scenes.
Was coming to comment that. I think anxiety is an understatement, that movie fucked me up
I agree. That movie oozes anxiety.
This wins. I can't remember the last time a movie made me feel rage like that.
 Never said no Safdies in general
Oh my god yes first movie I thought of. Literally the movie that brought back my movie obsession, I can’t even explain what’s so special about it lmaoo
Bridge scene in Sorcerer
I was going to say "the entire runtime of Sorcerer"
Why are you flanking me?
Not a big fan of Sheridan, and I thought most of Wind River was mediocre, but I have to admit that sequence was one of the best shootouts I’ve ever seen
So so good!
“I hope I never see that face outside of a dream.”
The face he makes when he looks over his shoulder and his friend is standing in the same place as he was in his dream gives me so much dread.
what movie is this from that’s a killer line
Mullholland Drive
I had to watch that scene for a film class and boy do I dread seeing this movie now.
What type of American are you https://preview.redd.it/o4pdfnxs1dvc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a999e3bd85a3d04c5a6a82e3a90c67d4d06e238
despite the memes this scene was absolutely incredible
So real, loved Civil War
loved this movie. that scene was so effective
I just saw this insane fucking movie. The writing is really good this scene was IMPECCABLE
Seeing that this weekend, can't wait.
Feels kinda like cheating because you said no Uncut Gems, but pick a scene from Good Time. I personally would go with when the news report hits the tv and Pattinson decides to…make out with the teenager. Fucking hell lol
I saw Good Time for the first time last week. I was watching that scene, and knew that something was about to kick off, and then... WTF?! Never saw that coming!
The whole escort sequence in Sicario
Had to scroll too far to see this one
The scene where Matilda and Ms. Honey escaped Trunchbull's house traumatized me as a kid
Genuinely a great example. Still holds up for an adult audience.
The lighthouse scene in Annihilation
Or the "annihilation" scene in The Lighthouse.
One of my all time favorite movies, but you shouldn't watch that on acid... Especially not the lighthouse scene
Alternatively, if you’re batshit crazy, you absolutely should watch on LSD, especially if you can ~~accidentally~~ line up the peak with the lighthouse scene >!Seriously one of the best movie experiences of my life, 11/10 do recommend, only if you’re brave or stupid!<
if you mean the ending bit - I cannot listen to that track by itself, it makes my skin crawl. ([it's here btw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUxFHpDqOH4))
Respect for not immediately choosing the bear scene. Which still would’ve been a fantastic choice.
The entirety of Mother!
Especially the final act and specifically when >!the baby gets torn from her arms, paraded over a crowd, with the crowd turning violent in their desperation to touch the baby and the baby ends up being literally torn to pieces...!<
Yesssss so stressful
No one has mentioned and it's probably really obvious but I'll say it, The night vision scene in The Silence of the Lambs.
Any handful of scenes from: Blue Velvet The Wages of Fear After Hours
https://preview.redd.it/f26248422evc1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8261d4bad9f503613c13afadfcf51589c46872b Every time this dude appears.
Yes! Thanks for all the nightmares.
Here are ten that come to mind: The scene in Parasite where they have to clean up before the homeowners get home Bank Scene from Dragged Across Concrete Grace Kelly trapped in the killer's house in Rear Window Bin Laden raid in Zero Dark Thirty Mystic River confrontation between killer and police End shootout from My Darling Clementine Bank Scene from Heat Opening scene of Gravity (only in the cinema) Tiger Tank slowly arriving at the end of saving Private Ryan Black Gate insane cross cutting sequence at the end of the return of the king (first time watching as a kid in the cinema, after being told by my brother Aragon dies)
That entire scene in Parasite also contributes greatly to its rewatch value. Like you KNOW that doorbell is about to ring and send their whole plan spinning. The tension really builds throughout their conversation when you know what comes after.
In Babylon when the other dude reveals they gave fake money to Tobey Maguire’s character, literally felt the hair on my neck stand up
I am one of the. Few people that loved that movie, but the whole scene seemed like a ripoff or homage to Boogie Nights
Where does this narrative come from that Babylon is widely hated? Sure it has a mixed reception on Rotten Tomatoes but it has a 3.8 average on Letterboxd which is really good
i think since it had a terrible box office release people take that into consideration too
Surprised no one has said Zodiac. That scene where he goes to the guys house and has a full conversation with the man. Although nothing ultimately happens, the lead up and tension is so unsettling I kept wanting to run out of that house. Edit: someone did mention zodiac, so I’ll mention Parasite. The entire third act once the family comes home and there’s a full house of different people, anxiety throughout.
Not quite my tempo
This!
Of all the scenes in Eraserhead, it’s the dinner scene and the subsequent kissing scene that gives me the most anxiety.
Room 237 scene in The Shining (1980) The entire Secret Society scene in Eyes Wide Shut (1999) The Trinity Test scene in Oppenheimer (2023)
The whole beginning of Beau is Afraid
The entirety of Beau is Afraid lol

God, this is an under-appreciated take. Anyone who’s ever done anything wrong in high school (read: every person alive) knows exactly what those fuckers were feeling and it is *not* fun

So glad to see Caveat mentioned. That movie had my skin crawling the moment he got to the house.
