Top 5 scariest moments
* The first scariest moment occurs when Tess arrives at her rented home and encounters a man named Keith, who is already staying there. This part of the film is filled with creepiness and suspense; while watching, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Keith might be a serial killer, doing everything he could to make Tess feel at ease before ultimately harming her. However, I was mistaken.
The eeriness of this scene stems from the suspense and Keith’s efforts to impress Tess, having arrived at the apartment before her.
* The second instance occurs when Tess accidentally gets locked in the basement and discovers a hidden door leading to a dark passage. She ventures inside and comes across a room containing a bed, a camera, and a bucket; there’s also a blood-stained handprint on the wall. This part had me on edge, as I felt something significant was about to unfold. I couldn’t blink, not wanting to miss a single moment of the unfolding events.
* The third frightening part. After Tess cried and lamented to Keith about what she had seen in the basement, Keith went to check it out but didn’t return right away. Tess grew worried and decided to check on him, only to discover another door that led deeper into the basement. She descended the stairs into the dark passage, crying and searching for Keith. In her search, she found him and also encountered something unexpected.
* The fourth moment occurs when Tess escapes from the house through the basement window. While it may not sound frightening and isn’t as intense as other scenes, your heart will race with every step she takes, hoping she makes it to safety.
* The fifth. At night, after Tess and an actor who purchased the house following Tess and Keith’s rental escape, a man assists them and warns them not to venture outside until morning, so that ‘the mother’ (the monster in the film) won’t haunt them. He mentions he has lived there for 15 years without her ever entering his space, but just as he finishes speaking, ‘the mother’ comes in and kills him.
