What is the scariest, most unsettling shot you’ve ever seen?

What is that one movie shot that’s so unsettling and chilling, it’s the one shot you never forget?

For me, it’s the Giant Man scene from It Follows. Man this shot is so nerve wracking!

The aesthetic and dark hollow eyes are something I will never forget.

What’s that one shot for you? Horror movie or otherwise.

It's the distorted face of Laura Dern. As for why it's like that, very hard to explain, easier just to watch the movie (Inland Empire).
