Hot Toddie Schoonover has 10 days to run 9 miles
Two movie moments from this film made the list of the top 100 scariest movie moments. I’m not sure that I agree with the assessment. Maybe I’m jaded, but the one moment (as seen in this picture) didn’t cause me to jump unlike the false moment earlier as the nurse startled a doctor awake which did make me jump. It could be that I knew it was coming since I read about it on this list (but I’d read about the false scare too, but it still made me jump.) The problem I have with this moment is that you don’t see the killing. It’s only implied.
The other moment that made the list is where the old woman crawls across the ceiling unnoticed. While a really cool image, I don’t really find it scary.
To me, the scariest moment of the film was when the possessed woman almost cut the head off of the policeman’s daughter. Seeing the blade around the daughter’s neck and how she’s pulled away at the last moment is the most scary moment of the film for me.
Rating 4 out of 5 stars.
