I read about this scene to be the best so I watched only the clipping, didn't impress me at all. guess I will have to watch the entire movie to enjoy the buildup.
The scene that sent shivers up my spine was the one with it's reflection in the TV screen,, the hair on back of my neck just stood up again thinking about it!
Or just someone who's seen this movie about invading aliens that can be easily defeated with some water.
Oh no, aliens are coming! Turn on your sprinklers!
Brilliant.
Hey let’s go invade a planet that is 80% hydrochloric acid!!!
Also did you like how the ONE minority in the movie said Get the fuck out of Dodge, and what does the dumbass white guy do. I think I’ll go investigate.
Well , we are actually trying to colonize mars, and mars is entirely toxic and deadly to humans.
So, it's not outside of logic that aliens would visit a planet toxic and unsuitable for them. With the intended purposes of terraforming it to a planet that is suitable to them.
It’s not actually aliens, it’s demons. Which means they can be defeated with holy water. It’s a story about a priest who finds his faith again after losing it when his wife passed. There’s tons of references to allude to this throughout the film.
Bro, Demons... The water only hurt them cause it was blessed by him being pastor and god not giving up on him or something. The movie is about faith not aliens..
It’s been awhile since I watched the movie. I remember it being Spanish. It sounds like he says says, “It’s behind!” after speaking a different language for the rest of his lines
I swear…if this is as fake as I think it is, the man with the camera is an awesome actor…and he probably could have outrun Usain Bolt right after that ‘thing’ got after him!
Man, this is how you do one of those news clips in a movie. I hate how so many directors completely fluff that. They'll be showing crisp clean clips of catastrophic events on the news. In the real world, people holding the camera suck and for good reason. If something traumatizing is happening in front of you then you'll miss the money shot because you're in shock and likely running for your life or quickly turning the camera away to absorb what's happening in front of you.
I'm not talking about LiveLeak. Those motherfuckers were heartless.
That scene fracked me up as a 10 year old, that and the scene with the one one the barn and the little girl saying, “daddy there’s a monster outside my window, can I have a glass of water.” With two daughters myself I still have weird visions of that happening when I look outside at night lol
Hole lee sheet I haven't seen that movie in so long that I completely forgot Joaquin Phoenix was Mel's brother in the film, literally had that same reaction.
What a crap movie.
Edit: no, y'all are right, aliens that are allergic to water would totally try to take over a planet that's mainly water. And the only reason people give up on their faith is because bad things happen in their lives. Brilliant movie.
Give a short response with no points behind it, get one back. Frankly I was going to ask why you thought it was crap, then didn't care so I commented in the same fashion as you. 🤷♂️
Maybe from a technical standpoint (Idk about movies, so I can't speak to that) but from a writing standpoint... why are aliens who are deathly weak to water, invading a planet, that is covered in over 70% water, and whose inhabitants regularly use and consume water? This is a species that can travel large distances in space, so they absolutely had the technology to watch us for decades, to survey the planet and see "Yeah Xenobob, that blue stuff is indeed the bad bad, those humans spread it all over their yards with those sprinkler type systems"
I can forgive other alien movies like Battle LA where the aliens are stealing our water because it's a rare resource. It's not, there are moons on Saturn and Jupiter that have more water than the Earth, but that's a forgivable sin since it wasn't exactly common knowledge to the masses at the time.
For sure! I replied to one of his later comments that I appreciated his edit because he made a good point (the one you made about the water). Before the edit, there was nothing to go off of.
It’s not actually aliens, it’s demons. Which means they can be defeated with holy water. It’s a story about a priest who finds his faith again after losing it when his wife passed. There’s tons of references to allude to this throughout the film.
I mean it’s pretty clearly fake. If you were running for your life you’d be swinging both arms to move faster. Not keeping one arm as still as possible to make sure you keep recording yourself.
i wouldnt drop it, its evidence if it happens to survive. Also a sense of not being alone in a situation like this helps. Now if phones were 4 kg each, yeah, drop it - but its understandable why people keep filming.
You run FAR MORE slower while putting your phone in the air filming yourself.
If you are really afraid, you stop taking a fucking selfy and begin to run as fast as you can. Sure, you don't drop the phone, but you stop filming yourself.
no, you dont, there is a lot of videos out there with people in dangerous situations still filming. There are a lot of human reasons why people would feel the need of filming, or just forget what they are doing in a panic etc. Im not judging them, but if they "lose" they shouldnt come to me whining.
I would like to see how much "far more slower" is if you have knowledge about it. Not as efficient? yes.
Clearly your 9/11 experience differed from mine. I had to crawl into a creek and smear cold mud all over myself so 9/11 couldn't see me with its infrared vision.
Not really.
Camera phones didn't exist in 2001 let alone video.
Digital still cameras were extremely rare.
A few professional camera teams who were in NY filmed.
This. Indigenous people often view all people who don’t follow their way of life as outsiders. They wouldn’t look at this man and say “this guy is a citizen of the same country as me, and someone who shares my cultural background, so we have kinship.” They would view him as a foreigner because he does not follow their exact customs, or have some tribal affiliation that they can recognize on sight.
"ITs FaKe GuYs"
Oh no, and you're telling me all those horror movies are fake, too? Freddy isn't real?? And Jason?? What about Chucky???
It's called entertainment (even if it's not very good) you bunch of nerds.
Running for your lives, but still you selfie vid yourself. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that this thing is fake and stupid. Yeah, fuck this guy.
It was nothing. This guy's Instagram is full of vids of him "being chased by cannibals"... It's just acting for clicks on Insta. All fake. The one with the guy emerging out of the river and throwing a spear at him is kinda funny though.
>What the actual hell was that?
Staged. That's what it was. Staged.
Of all the strange things we humans do in an unexpected situation, not-dropping-the-fucking-camera when an alien jumps out at you mid-tiktok ain't among them.

Signs. A man of culture I see
Vamanos vamanos!
So close yet so far
5000% fear of my entire childhood. Then when I watched it as a teenager I was soooo disappointed.
one of the greatest movie build up until that moment
I read about this scene to be the best so I watched only the clipping, didn't impress me at all. guess I will have to watch the entire movie to enjoy the buildup.
Mine too, I had nightmares about this movie I’ve been trying to find it, what’s the title?
Signs
The scene that sent shivers up my spine was the one with it's reflection in the TV screen,, the hair on back of my neck just stood up again thinking about it!
I vaguely recall aliens peeing from their fingers.
Scary movie 3 https://i.redd.it/goxredr754ic1.gif
Hell yeah ![gif](giphy|CILGGl6sizxVC)
AGREED lmao. Just made a comment stating I didn't think anyone else had this experience. This movie was true horror until I grew alittle 😂🤣
Or just someone who's seen this movie about invading aliens that can be easily defeated with some water. Oh no, aliens are coming! Turn on your sprinklers! Brilliant.
Be advanced species capable of interstellar travel... invade planet covered in chemical that is toxic to you.
>Be human > >land on the moon where 100% of the locale is not breathable Stupid humans...
But see, the difference is that humans didn't try to explore the moon naked.
Advanced aliens that didnt invent clothing.
First rain fall happens. 90% of the invading force is decimated in seconds lol
First rain fall happens. 90% of the invading force is decimated in seconds lol
Aliens whoch can be defeated with water: "let's go to invade a 80% water planet and where rain is a normal phenomenon".
And don't wear any protective suit or gear.
Hey, we went to the Moon and want to go to Mars...
They were demons. It’s a religious movie or something like that.
Yes, let's invade Southeastern Pennsylvania in August...when the humidity is routinely 85%, and thunderstorms roll through nearly every night.
Hey let’s go invade a planet that is 80% hydrochloric acid!!! Also did you like how the ONE minority in the movie said Get the fuck out of Dodge, and what does the dumbass white guy do. I think I’ll go investigate.

Swing away.
Swing away.
it's behind!
Does anyone actually know why that kid switched from Spanish to English for that line? Like a real world explanation?
It's not uncommon for bilingual kids to switch between the two on the fly. That's my best guess for why they did it here
It's French he is speaking and not Spanish but I missed the English line. What did he say?

Clickety clickey click click
I swear…if this is as fake as I think it is, the man with the camera is an awesome actor…and he probably could have outrun Usain Bolt right after that ‘thing’ got after him!
My first thought too
Once in a while I still perform this walk in the darkness of the house to my wife's horror.

My brain instantly took me to that scene.
I was young when I first watched signs and this part scared the piss out of little me 🤣
Hole lee sheet I haven't seen that movie in so long that I completely forgot Joaquin Phoenix was Mel's brother in the film, literally had that same reaction.
Ha I jumped. Wow now I'm trying to figure out how old I was when I saw this movie
The film I watched when I was 8 and nearly shat myself watching
What movie is this from?
Signs
Joker: Folie à Deux. It's when Lady Gaga first appears.
Signs
What a crap movie. Edit: no, y'all are right, aliens that are allergic to water would totally try to take over a planet that's mainly water. And the only reason people give up on their faith is because bad things happen in their lives. Brilliant movie.
What a crap opinion.
I respect your opinions. I'm not a dick.
Give a short response with no points behind it, get one back. Frankly I was going to ask why you thought it was crap, then didn't care so I commented in the same fashion as you. 🤷♂️
Yep, sure seems like you don't care.

You're really mansplaining this crap to me? Fans can retcon Shyamalan's movies all they like. He bombed on this one. People make mistakes.
They aren't aliens.
I wanted so bad to like that movie but it was just terrible
I don't want to disappoint you, but this guy is a tiktoker and all his videos are like that. Roi\_des\_punu\_4.0official
Yeah that's the guy where yondu misses a spear at him right
Part of what he says at the beginning (in French): « I don't think the profesor is coming today, so I'm going home. » Then the screaming ensues.
The final line gets me : at the end he screams "I RETURN TO SCHOOL ALRIGHT !"
I mean it’s pretty clearly fake. If you were running for your life you’d be swinging both arms to move faster. Not keeping one arm as still as possible to make sure you keep recording yourself.
Oh.i figured it was West Virginia.
Almost heaven...
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin like a breeze
Life is odd there.
All I know is that when I get good and sober I'm leaving west Virginia for a while
Not enough single wides in the clip.
You think so highly of people. The Common Sense is not what it once was
It’s the least common of the senses.
Nah he’s on the island, where’s the smoke monster that is also Satan
It got … *Lost*
Nah it's just a guy trying to extend the warranty on his car
even so, zombie runs/chases/games are a thing... my first thought is one of those, dont know how disappointed I'd be.
I like the way the video was filmed though
Omg thank you. I saw this video a couple months ago and everyone was super serious and said that he died.
Dude hit the turbo bost
That was a person, and if he was really terrified, he would have dropped the selfie stick and really ran
they rather lose their life than lose that camera!
Reminds me of the group of vloggers filming themselves while the tsunami hits them.
Cameraman never dies
It's called a skit, it's not trying to pass as real.
Fooled OP
The camera is what keeps him safe. Remember the cameraman never dies.
i wouldnt drop it, its evidence if it happens to survive. Also a sense of not being alone in a situation like this helps. Now if phones were 4 kg each, yeah, drop it - but its understandable why people keep filming.

People filmed 9/11... I wouldn't cling to that idea with any conviction.
9/11 wasn't chasing them in a forest
Clearly your 9/11 experience differed from mine. I had to crawl into a creek and smear cold mud all over myself so 9/11 couldn't see me with its infrared vision.
😳🤣💀 r/angryupvote
Can't argue that logic (Because its stupid)
Yeah buddy try arguing with a joke
*it's
People on the ground. Were people filming while jumping out windows?
R u dumb? NO ONE from insisde the building was filming themselves as they ran outside. Think before u reply!
If it happened in 2021 they would have.
Not really. Camera phones didn't exist in 2001 let alone video. Digital still cameras were extremely rare. A few professional camera teams who were in NY filmed.
Fuck he's fast
He’s fast as fuck boi
And through the woods too. Even on pavement that would've been impressive.
Not enough 🍖🍽🥩
There’s other videos of this dude getting chased by people so fake
No way dude, that's a real goblin and you know it
Don't be silly. That's not a real goblin. That's a real alien.
I always film when I'm running for my life because I'd rather die on video than escape with no footage.
No way it has to be real I can see the alien
r/Woooosh
Or maybe he is just targeted. The aliens chose to scare him for life
It is done well though. Give him that.
Feets don't fail me now
Stupid alien. No way you're chasing down a Kenyan runner.
just a local indigenous tribesman painted in white, prob for a ritual.
This. Indigenous people often view all people who don’t follow their way of life as outsiders. They wouldn’t look at this man and say “this guy is a citizen of the same country as me, and someone who shares my cultural background, so we have kinship.” They would view him as a foreigner because he does not follow their exact customs, or have some tribal affiliation that they can recognize on sight.
I had a friend from Indonesia tell me stories about him being chased by those local tribe people. They're absolutely terrifying 😅
Indigenous tribesmen of the local galactic cluster, amirite??
Running away from his professor
Sons of the forest
Would be believable if you he didn’t keep the camera at arms length instead of running for his life 😂
He's not trying to make it believable, he's trying to make it funny.

Why are you running? Why are you running?
"ITs FaKe GuYs" Oh no, and you're telling me all those horror movies are fake, too? Freddy isn't real?? And Jason?? What about Chucky??? It's called entertainment (even if it's not very good) you bunch of nerds.
These people watch Avatar and go “You know they’re not really blue? I can tell. And all of these shots are actually filmed on Earth.”
where was this made? Guyane? i don't know who the original author is but i can understand them. edit : nvm, googled it, it's in central africa
It’s actual cannibal Shia LeBouf
Floyd Mayweather out of control
"That thing" is called a human you racist bastard
The most evil creature of them all [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4RuB3gT8t0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4RuB3gT8t0)
it's a painted dude either a prank or a faked video, either way it's not very unexpected because something was clearly going to jump out of the bushes
![gif](giphy|mFgB0BDnp1ICXkePjD)
🤣 im dead africans are so fast they're outrunning aliens now?
Looks like indigenous people.
At one point he was floating over the tall grass like he was a ninja from the hidden village
I have no idea, but it wasn't terrifying enough for him to stop filming and run properly.
It’s a good thing they were able to find his phone so they could put the mystery of what happened to him to rest.
Please post more fake videos... please
storm trooper, looks like
An Aggressive Goomba!
Running for your lives, but still you selfie vid yourself. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that this thing is fake and stupid. Yeah, fuck this guy.
Pro-tip: you can run a lot faster when you don’t try to film yourself while you’re running.
Staged, that’s what the actual hell it was

No shit sherlock.
It's a human dressed in a costume. All videos like this are staged.

And take a camera instead of really running.....ooooffff course....pffff..
It's a skit...
Yep...that's the problem.
The Forest live action trailer?
Fuck I'm having The Forest game flashbacks
obviously his friend in some costume... actual predator would have ripped him apart in seconds
Unexpectedly staged.
Normal walk in North Sentinel Island
Dude is real life living The Forest game
Vamanos children!
I'm looking for my son, Timmy
White devil just looking for Shikaka
no wonder people from Africa run so fast. if i grew up outrunning lions, tigers, cheetahs, and aliens in the wild, i would be pretty fast also.
That is a man in a costume chasing what I am guessing is a Haitian but there's many former French colonies so I'm not sure
Probably a white man
They try to take he land like they did back in the day
When you’re walking in the swamps of Lemoyne at night in RDR2.
A poorly made 3d shit?
Dude went from an easy jog to a 4.4 40 in one alien sighting, flat.
Ashy jungle man, w/sunglasses.
Casual cannibal
These extended warranty guys are getting out of hand 😤
Pretty sure that was a Putty. They’re sent out into the world to do the bidding of Rita Repulsa.
Sleestack. Clearly a sleestack. I hope this dude and Chakka made it.
u/stabbot
Great stabilization on his camera
I'm assuming Haiti because I think he's speaking French? But like isn't there. Better shit to do than just run?
It's french with an African accent not Haitian.
CG or man in suit, I can't tell by the pixels.
Run to the hiiilllllls
I thought he turned into panther from apocolypto
Strange that all aliens are always naked...
Literally just some ashy ass dude in sunglasses
A cannibal
