Chilling lines in film - Blu-ray Forum

TheSpruceMoose · 05-27-2020, 11:34 AM

I was thinking about some movie lines in my head that, when taken with proper context, have chilling effects. So what are some lines of dialogue that stand out to you? They can be both subtle or more direct, anything goes.

"Say... that's a nice bike."- Terminator 2
"I will never ask you to do anything that I wouldn't do myself."- Nightcrawler
"Well go on and give the man a hand."- Robocop

The Ring

Aidan Keller*:*What happened to the girl?

Rachel Keller*:*Samara?

Aidan Keller*:*Is that her name?

Rachel Keller*:*Mm-hmm.

Aidan Keller*:*Is she still in the dark place?

Rachel Keller*:*No. We set her free.

Aidan Keller*:*You helped her?

Rachel Keller*:*Yeah.

Aidan Keller*:*Why did you do that?

Rachel Keller*:*What's wrong, honey?

Aidan Keller*:*You weren't supposed to help her.

I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. And now, it's here or should I say, I am.

Not so much a line per say, but a sound...

In American History X, when you hear the guys teeth click on the sidewalk right before he's stomped in the head.

I'd go with this one:

Private Hudson : Nine meters. Seven. Six.
Ripley : That can't be; that's inside the room.
Private Hudson : It's reading right man, look!
Corporal Hicks : Then you're not reading *it* right.
Private Hudson : Five meters, man. Four. What the hell?

When they look up is one of the most tense scenes in cinema history.
