Lol that jumpscare. Fun Fact: (even though I am sure someone has already said it.) The actress that plays Nell was told to pop out way before the script said too, that look of terror and confusion on Theo's and Shirley's actresses faces is legitimate fear.
Shes the best!
She's a keeper a waifey
Fun fact: Victoria (the actress) said she totally blew out her voice box in the first take because she screamed so loudly lol. I just watched an interview (about Bly Manor) where they brought up this moment and she said any screaming after that was bad because she hurt her throat in the first take.
Sorry, I suspect that's the publicity department at work. Notice the cut from one side to the other? If that was done in one take, the two cameras would be visible to each other. So at least one side was acted.
@@commandosolo1266 You can easily see that the camera angles aren't 90 degree angles from each side. They're placed outside the car on each side, ahead of the characters and angled as you can see in that scene. If there were just a single camera to the left and then the right side in that position the characters wouldn't be horizontally parallel to each other. Redo your analysis of the scene. ;)
One of the best jump scares EVER. It had plot impact AND it was terrifying.
This is basically the only time I like these sorts of "jump scares" which make up 90% of crappy horror films.
It works here.
Jump scares get a bad rap, I think. Like any filmmaking element, it's just a tool, and can be a very effective one at that, because it forces you to viscerally engage in what's happening on-screen. It grabs your attention and highlights the event. I mean, just look at how much it affected Nikki and Steve here. They literally had to pause the show to think about it and process/calm down. If a storytelling tool can have that effect on the audience, then it's a great tool.
The problem is when it's overused or used to highlight something that's not important or not interesting. When it's the only "scary" thing about a supposedly scary movie, then it's not scary, it's just startling. You jump, but then you quickly recover, shake you head and move on, because there's not much to think about other than "Oh, that startled me." This one was genuinely scary because we're engaged with these characters in deeply horrifying situations and ideas, so when we see the dead corpse of Nell appearing in ghostly form, looking utterly angry/sad/every-bad-emotion, combined with what we know about her and what's happened to her... it all comes together into one sudden moment of scary ideas that just overwhelms you, and it wouldn't be as highlighted without the jump scare. If they had just quietly seen Nell in the back seat or on the road, shaking her head or something, then you might get the point, but it wouldn't be nearly as effective. You REMEMBER this moment because of the jump scare, and FEEL the meaning of it much more viscerally as a result.
I also love how the approach to the scene kept you interested enough that you're just wanting to hear how this argument unfolds, so the last thing you're expecting is a jump scare. Oftentimes, you feel a jump scare coming a few seconds before it happens, because they make things intentionally quiet and still right before it, because they think that'll make it more impactful... but it actually just gives it away. Audiences know that's the classic formula for a jump scare, so it doesn't work very well anymore. The right way to approach a jump scare now is to have it just suddenly HAPPEN like this one did. Preferrably in a scene that already felt like it had a purpose even before the jump scare. As opposed to scenes that seem to be obviously building to a jump scare by stretching out long quiet moments of people looking around a corner or something like that, and you're just waiting for a jump scare to happen the entire time... again, because audiences know the formula. We're also doubly thrown off by the similar scenes between Steven and Hugh that unfolded before without a jump scare, so we're just expecting the same type of scene from Theo and Shirley.
So it's all about the context. If the scene is bad and just relying on the jump scare to make something... ANYTHING interesting happen... then it's the scene that sucks, not the jump scare. When the scene is good, and then you throw a jump scare into that's well-placed and executed... it's magic. Terrifying, horrifying magic.
The fact that there was actual reason for it (you two stfu) other than shock value, gives it a pass. I paused that shit and went to go to the dishes. Needed a break lol. I'm glad no one else was home, because me shouting, "Fuck!! Fuck no!" might have raised some questions. Actually, I think I shouted "Fuck you!" at my screen.
I just finished the series, and i screamed so loud, i had never been scared by a jump scare like that before.
@@AWSVids Agreed. The timing helps as well. So many times in other movies or tv shows it comes off as gimmicky, it's not that scary, or the timing is off. This show is a great example of how to use them effectively.
No shame jumping on that scare.. We all did.....
I am in the middle of rewatching the show, and it still got me. I completely forgot.
Yep lmfao one of the best jump scares cuz it comes out if no where. It got me good when I did my reaction to this episode lol
Steve, I love how you threw up your fists to defend yourself lol
SiTHFuRioN love seeing my fav reactors supporting my fav reactors
So funny, you loved watching your own reaction to that jump scare, and then that nervous laughter. Immediately thought of you when they jumped and screamed. I'm sure you lyao thinking about your own reaction.
Awesome! I could’t wait for you guys to react to this episode! It was one of the best Jump scares ever.
SiTHFuRioN Sith I watched your reaction like 5 times because it was priceless too!!! I couldn’t wait until this episode I knew it would be magic🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SKOL! 😂
I love monologues in tv & movies and Theo fucking broke me this episode.
i've seen it so many times and it still makes me tear up T_T she is amazing
What a fucking amazing scene. It broked my heart.
One of the best pieces of acting I've seen on TV in a long while.
most perfect describtion of depression I've ever seen in my entire life
O
Lol! "Theo is basically a clenched fist with hair." I'll take that complement.
Remember in the first episode where the mom was looking for Luke and Steve asked if she checked the treehouse? The mom said something like "Very funny mister" in response.
Hey, don't feel badly guys. Even the actresses were surprised because the director told her to jump out pages of dialogue earlier than originally intended.
I knew that car scene would scare the hell outta y'all. I jumped and screamed so hard at that scene the 1st time... that was scary as hell
Keava Bonner I had to stop watching for the rest of the night after that. It was just like, “welp. That’s enough for now. Let’s wait for daylight to find out how this ends.”
"I never built you kids a tree house."
Um...uh-oh.
That and the conversation between the caretaker and young Steven about the table he found to restore for his mom.
"I found it in the game room"
"Where?"
There is NO game room.
14:24 Steven is ready to fight. Great reaction. :-D
So awesome to see him freak out, hahaha.
14:23 hahaha that was sooo worth the wait 😂😂
I was about to type the same thing
Literally the best jump scare ever. Totally engrossed in the conversation and there was no hit with music or anything lol
I don’t think anything has made me jump like that, ever. -S
That car scene is one of the best jump scares ever. That scene really made me scream and jumped at the same time when I first watched it. You guy's reaction are priceless and hilarious. I hope you guys slept well after this episode.
Yep. I remember how my heart sank and threw the damn phone away lol
Been waiting for the car scare for 8 episodes. :) You two didn't disappoint. And it was a jump scare with purpose, which is what made it great.
When I was watching this I had my headphones in and was watching it on my laptop. My husband and son were playing a video game in the same room. Nell popps out and I I jumped and screamed and scared the shit out of them too since they weren't expecting me to just randomly scream.
This is so mean but I have been waiting for THAT jump scare since you started watching. Totally worth it!!!!
I forgot all about that jump scare in the car lmaooo
Happy Monday, I was waiting for this, how insane was that jump scare when Theo and Shirley were arguing in the car, Theos confession to Shirley was heartbreaking ! 😱 😭🤗
I think the only reason Nikki didnt cry when Theo was poring her heart out is because of the scare.. one of the best acting i have ever scene.
EVERYBODY SCREAMED!!! lol I love this....hahahahaha
The jump scare in the car was the best scare in this show. However I also had to pause the show for a while to regain my sanity.
Watch the final two episodes back to back!
Such a great reaction: this episode shocks everyone just like The Red Wedding devastates. I have so much love for this show - it improves after repeat viewings.
Can't believe this is almost ending already 😥
I know this is old, but I’m late to the party. Ever since I started watching your reactions to this series, I’ve been waiting for this specific moment lol This scared the shit out of my wife and I when we watched it. Definitely one of the very best jump scares ever pulled off and even better is that there’s a plot reason for it, so it’s not done for some cheap scare, it had purpose, which makes it even more awesome.
Both of your reactions did not disappoint on this one, I went back and watched both of your reactions several times over, never even watching what was going on in the scene, but just watching your faces and expressions. Awesome.
Lol knew the car jump scare would be a good one! Love the thumbnail too! Lmao
Oh boy, I can't wait to see your reactions for the next two episodes... this is such an amazing show!! Can we get a jump-scare compilation when this is over? Lol
14:24 one of the epic scares ever .....now this what reaction is all about....thank you 4 sharing it with us.....
LOL. I think everyone's been waiting for this moment.
I liked the portrayal of Mrs. Dudley in this version. She’s firm, but fearful and has compassion.
First time they pause, I did the same, no way you put attention after if you don´t pause poor nikki and poor steven, recover like a champ.
That jump scare gets me EVERY TIME!!! Nell always does something when the family is fighting
20:38
Nikki: "No no no no"
Oh god flashback to that Nell scene.
I think I scared everyone in my apartment building when that jumpscare came up. I was watching the show alone, close to Halloween, it had gotten dark and I was sitting in my kitchen with my earbuds in and I screamed when they screamed. Immediately was like "oh shit!" and super embarrassed.
This episode had the best jumpscare and monologue ever
Loved the reaction to this, have been waiting for it! Even Steven had a little jump to himself, then quickly tried to cover it up in a manly way by checking on his wife lol *bless*
That 14:25 scared the absolute crap out of me when I watched this the first time. I had to turn my light on.
LMAO!!! I literally lol for a whole minute, maybe going on two - after that jump scare. I had to pause the video just so I wouldn't missed anything more. Then, of course, I had to watch it again. LOL!
You say why would Luke go into the house after it lit up? I feel that the family had lived with this terror - on some level - for decades. There's gotta be a point that you get so sick of it, that *nothing* scares you more than not dealing with it. Luke reached that point.
I felt the same way about Negan & the Saviors. lol
Awesome, spectacular reaction! :-) ♡
That jump scare was really well done. Just out of the blue, so unexpected. I'm a grown dude but I legit YELPED out loud to it.
when steve jumped i was in tears.
I remember the first time I saw that jump scare, I was casually lying across the couch itching my nob when that jumpscare had me almost rip my entire ballsack off!
It’s the GOAT of jump scares
People always call out that Jump scare, and rightly so, because it is one of the best jump scares ever executed in all of TV and film.
However I like to focus as much attention (if not more so) on Theo's monologue afterward. Seriously, it is one of the BEST written and BEST acted monologues I have EVER witnessed.
I still remember this one. I was dozing off, lying in bed when that jumpscare came. I went from almost sleeping to being wide awake and ready to throw hands 😂
YES! Been waiting to see the reaction to the jump scare in the vehicle with Theo and Shirley! Thank you for not disappointing! Love your guys reaction!
I've been waiting to see you guys react to this jump scare since you started watching!! LOL!!
I m here for 14:24 😝😁😁😁😁
when that jump scare happened, i jumped out of my chair and ran all the way upstairs. got me so good
Best jumpscare ever. I was eating and concentrated in the conversation. I literally jump and scream with food in my mouth. I pause that and calm myself.
I watched it yesterday for the first time.
There was a reason I binge watched the final four or five episodes in one night.
I knew that scare was going to get you. I did the same thing. Been waiting this whole time for that. This show is awesome, it's only going to get better.
Oooh I couldn't wait for today because of this reaction 😁. Love both of you jumping and faces when the momma scare came in the car 😂😂 and your reactions to the ending. Love this show and your reactions ❤
I’m a huge horror and thriller fan, so I’m pretty acclimated to jump scares and horror tropes in general. They don’t normally get me, I’m just there to enjoy the story. But THAT jump scare got me GOOD. It was probably one of the only times I genuinely jumped and had to pause in this show. And then I was just giddy at how WELL it was done and how ingenious. Best jump scare of 2018, one of the best jump scares of all time. 100%. I’ve been waiting to see y’all react to it.
14:24 aaaand Nell gets effing done with their fighting😂
Imagine , i watched the entire episode in my phone using my headset and when that jump-scare came out I have literally threw up my phone, luckily i'm on my bed.. hahaha... 😂😂
Y'all needed to watch these closer together cause there's so many things that tie certain moments together. Love your reactions as always. And yes you BOTH jumped! Haha. Much Love 😁💚
One word WOW! I am so sorry Nikki, during the livestream where Steven said prepare to laugh during Monday's Reaction to Hill House. Well needless to say i was looking forward to this video!
Seeing steven jumpscare like that. It took you guys like a half a second to a second to process that jumpscare. Crazy! What that show does to people, dang!
The jump scare was perfectly timed and effective. But it’s the catalyst for Theo’s hellish revelation afterwards about the nature of death and the fate of their sister and their mother. Terrifying. Most of us will never see a ghost or live in a haunted house. Most of us don’t have any paranormal sensitivity to touch invisible dimensions. But all of us will face the death of our loved ones; all of us will follow them sooner or later. It’s not just real, it’s the only thing that’s real. And, like Theo, we will all follow each other into a realm we cannot know and from which we cannot return.
Car jump scare would make anyone put those dukes up lol
That’s the best jump scare ever. It’s such an easy moment and you’re caught up in the conversation, and then BOOM! It’s incredible.
Well, that's one way to get your siblings to stop fighting.
The reaction we all secretly wanted to see but couldn't give anything away. Easily one of the best and most natural segues of a jump scare. Brilliantly well directed and I love how the argument itself is solid enough to be the reason for using one. Mike Flanagan is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors.
I read the director had screaming Nellie pop out of the backseat earlier than rehearsed, to get a better surprise reaction out of the other two actresses.
Cant believe your loving this show as much as i did!!!
YYYEEEESSSSSS I FUCKIN LOVE THIS EPISODE! I absolutely love scenes like when Hugh drops this massive revelation on Steve!
I’m a huge fan of horror but because of that and how many horrors films I’ve seen jump scares rarely get me but the one in the car actually did, it was brilliant 😂 and Theo’s monologue on the side of the road gets me every time 😢 what’s super impressive as well is that it was done in one take, well done Kate Siegel, what an incredible actress!
That absolutely was the scariest moment of the show, lol. Got me too and i never get got
Yesss happy Monday!!! Best start to the week. Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my fave reactions to this show! Haha 4 years late but got here.. I love it 🖤
That speech after the jump scare is an award winning moment! She needs to at least be nominated for an Emmy after that!
that jumpscare was fucking genius, we were focused on them talking not knowing that..holy fuck
Have you seen the Bud Light Super Bowl commercial?!
Yeah. We were watching the SB live
I half expected a preview of the final season. Just not in that fashion! Thought there would be new footage
we're actually happy they didn't show anything new... super bowl is a tough day for us to get anything done since we are out of the house most of the day.
Omg I have been waiting for you to get to episode 8 lol I knew you were going to get the 💩 scared out of you!! 😱 my husband and me were in the dark watching that! I literally had chest pains after that moment. Freaking scared me!
OMG I BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS!!! I'm actually surprised that scare hasn't killed anyone. Srsly.
Hahahaha ok NOW you guys should go check out *Mum's* and *Scriptonite's* reactions, hahahahahahaha
First time I seen Steven yell almost as loud as Nikki 😂 First time I seen this I was home alone with my 5 year old grandson. My husband was working nights on patrol ( police officer ) I stayed up all night. I could not go to sleep. 😳
I knew this jump scare was coming so it didn't get me again like the first time (I also had to pause it to calm down), but somehow last episode when Hugh hurt his hand in the fan, I forgot about it and it scared me more than it did the first time I saw the show, lol.
When I tell you I’ve been waiting on this episode!!!!! I have been waiting just for that darn reaction!!! Even Steven jumped out of his skin!!! Fucking awesome!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for you two to react to this - HAHAHA you did not disappoint!
This show is like seeing a real ghost, it will change your perspective on things and leaving you a shivering wreak in your own Urine and faces.
I was waiting to get to this episode and see y’all reaction to Nell popping up and just the car scenes in general
😂😂😂 When the mother's demon face popped between the car seats from the back. I really wish I had the resources to make a horror movie that will mess people up for years.
That is Nellie not Olivia.
i rewatched that jumpscare a solid 8 times
Hahaha I played back that reaction twice! The best jump scare ♥️ In the script, she was supposed to come out later on but they wanted it as realistic as possible so she came out at that time without telling he actresses!
That jump scare got me too..coming out of nonwhere😁😁
You know it's going to be a good reaction when Nikki is screaming in the thumbnail. Steven's reaction was a bonus!
..aaaaand Nikki's soul leaves her body for a moment or two..
When I saw that jumpscare the first time I screamed bloody murder.
Watching the jump scare in 0.25 is also funny!
16:06 “& then i wondered if that’s what she FELT, & that’s what mom FEELS” - i always wondered why Theo used the present tense when describing her mom. Idk. maybe i’m just reading so much into things
I think, by that time, she'd seen her mother crawling in the floor in Shirley's office. Or, it was a mistake by the actress & they decided to just keep that take.
You guys are just great😍 First time commenting. I watched your whole GOT reactions and now the haunting! Enjoying it so much, keep it going! Greetings from Germany🙋♀️
Steven’s jump was hilarious as hell and more
Omg love it 😂
LMBO!! I screamed like you when she popped up in the backseat!! Damn near pissed my pants!!
😲😲😲
You handled that jump scare better than i do. Lol i fell off the bed.
There it is. The part where I screamed and tossed my tablet 😂
THAT JUMP SCARE!!! it killled me.
And THAT, folks, is how you do a jump scare. It's about the best I've seen in ages. :) I CANNOT WAIT FOR Y'ALL TO WATCH THE LAST 2 EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!
That car scare is what we've all been waiting for XD
I have been waiting for you guys to watch this episode just to see your reaction to that jump scare. LOL! You did not disappoint. I thought the scariest part though was all the wall banging when they were in the house.
That was a damn good scare, perfect timing. I haven't really jumped from watching something scary in forever but that scene got me when i first watched it.
