When a director hides something creepy in the frame, and you never notice it until your second, third, or fourth watch....that's a special feeling.
But there are different variations to this trick; sometimes, it's plain old blink and you'll miss it, and at other times, it's a bit more complicated.
So let's delve into the different ways a film may try to affect your unconscious, with lots of cool examples, and of course, one excellent horror film you probably have never seen before.
For the most part, this video avoids major spoilers, and even for the warning titles at the start of the video, I personally think the spoiler is quite minimal in the grand scope of things, but hey, you can never be too careful. So with that, here's the list of films that come up in different sections of the video, specifically those that are NOT explicitly stated by me. For detailed spoiler warning, refer to the comment section!
And as it goes nowadays with my videos, please comment something with 'blinkity blink' if you've reached this point in the description, and I'll make sure to do a thumbs up in front of my monitor, knowing you're a thorough person with patience who cares to read everything.
Okay bye.
