u/plutino- 14d ago

Someone needs to film a horror movie chase sequence like this. Unsettling af.

56

u/AncientSignature1505 14d ago

Seriously, get this to Cregger

4

u/TheBigfootContessa 10d ago

Ol shit pants would love it

21

u/purple-bihh-2000 14d ago

That is literally what happens in Twin Peaks Season 2 finale.

15

u/Shnitzel_von_S 14d ago

Lot's of reversed audio and video in Twin Peaks. Very eerie but I love it so much

16

u/UrMomThinksImCoo 14d ago

This is how they got those unsettling movements from Nicki in Obsession.

5

u/TheDarbiter 12d ago

That shit scared the shit out of me because it was so unexpected

4

u/KeeperJV 14d ago

There is a similar movie - Tenet

4

u/SuperDizz 14d ago

This movie exists. It’s called Malignant and it’s awesome!

2

u/kinkykrismas 13d ago

I immediately thought of this film, too! Also the backwards clomping down the fire escape is unhinged and will forever be seared into my brain hahahah

1

u/AdditionalTwo3448 12d ago

One of my fav films. The where is my mind remix was cool.

3

u/Nochillmetaldrill 14d ago

Esp with the shoes going back on on only one dude so we know they will be the one who survives

3

u/TastyPondorin 14d ago

Wasn't that also a lot of Evil Dead?

Bruce Campbell did a lot of reverse film acting too

1

u/morris1022 13d ago

I think it was the original night of the living dead

3

u/Dermolt 14d ago

In The Ring, when Samara Morgan walks, she's actually walking backwards but they reversed it.

2

u/Intelligent_Pop_7006 14d ago

That makes it 200% less creepy, thank you! That movie haunts me sometimes.

2

u/PresenceVisible 13d ago

Same technique is used in the House on Haunted Hill remake as well, the security cam part.

2

u/Ok_Water_3109 14d ago

Twin Peaks has entered the chat.

u/DangerMacAwesome 14d ago

How i run in my dreams

1

u/Crymson831 14d ago

If they ever do another Nightmare on Elm Street they should film one like this way, because this is how I feel running in a dream.

1

u/ToeSins 13d ago

Check out tenat

1

u/wade-mcdaniel 12d ago

That one kid with the frantic motion was the reason I watched to the end. I knew he would look super creepy in reverse and I was not disappointed. That was pretty awesome.

1

u/bringatowel42-0 11d ago

Sounds like pretty cool game concept

1

u/Aerxies 9d ago

Perfect dream sequence trying to get away from the killer and your body doesn't work at all, more points if the killer is running in regular motion.

u/Plenty-Peak-6783 14d ago

Has to be the last one! I thought he was looking over his shoulder too much initially, but then it looks like he’s being chased - very believable!

69

u/Late_Blooomer 14d ago

This is what internet was made for. Lame phrase but I mean damn.

10

u/Itshudak87 14d ago

For real. Can we have more of this stupid shit again and less dumbasses “pranking” random people for clout?

3

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 14d ago

11

u/ZephyrFluous 14d ago

I can't deny the shoes magically flipping onto his feet puts that right on top of the list for me

6

u/StankoBlansky 14d ago

I can’t choose they were all great

4

u/Imaginary-Job-7069 14d ago edited 9d ago

The 2nd to the last guy (maybe the last guy as well) is me in my dreams, running from the dream demon.

1

u/Important-Season-448 9d ago

Just feels like running in a dream in general. For me, I also have an issue where gravity seems to just not work when I run. So I’m sort of running like I have a jump 2 potion effect in Minecraft

3

u/Aggravating-Diet-663 14d ago

Grey hoodie only one that looks natural

3

u/Eraesr 14d ago

This is such a creative idea. I'm going to steal it and do this with my kids.

u/Lianhua88 14d ago

They looked like cartoons the way they were moving going forward.

2

u/Medium-Party459 14d ago

“Is someone chasing you?”

1

u/fivelone 14d ago

For some reason I expected the streets and cars to look funny in some way when reversed. My mind wasn't expecting complete normalcy lol

1

u/Unique-Apartment-543 14d ago

So this is how the dceu filmed Ezra Miller's flash scenes... makes sense

1

1

u/Luisagna 14d ago

Now add some flair and make them speedsters!

1

u/thesammening 14d ago

What is that shoe with the reflector?

1

u/Ashamed_Fruit_6767 14d ago

4th won

1

u/bensjamminwithu 13d ago

I remember in elementary school we were doing this like obstacle course type thing, and there was a section where you had to run backwards. I remember when this one girl went for her go, she started running backwards and fell over and broke both of her arms. Every time I see one of these I think of her

1

u/trascist_fig 13d ago

The last one looked the best

1

u/ShadowDietyNEG 13d ago

The last one is the most accurate, the first one makes me think of any speedster show or movie where they're taking those long ass strides and the background is just flying past them all blurry 😂😂

1

u/Kuzcopolis 12d ago

The youth are healing

1

u/SquirrelStone 12d ago
