One of the most chilling scenes is early on, when Henry goes to a mall and just sits patiently in the parking lot, scanning. My friend I saw it with worked at the city prosecutors office and heard about plenty of local murder cases and said it rang very, very true to life. The stuff in the movie that scared me wasn't any big "jumps" or gore, just very disturbing, creepy moments (especially if you knew someone who was been the victim of a homicide, as I do). The opening and closing are probably the most frightening, and we don't even see Henry killing anyone, just the bodies of his victims and their terrified screams in the background, echoing. My friend and I just sat there quietly cowering most of the time. I saw this at a film festival and the audience was very, very quiet. As far as non-supernatural horror goes, this movie and Last House on the Left are the scariest movies I've ever seen. I can't name the scariest, I can name the top 5. Probably because I've seen over a thousand horror/fright/suspense/gore movies, I have trouble pinning it down. With the BWP hype, a lot of talk of going around about "the scariest movie you've ever seen".
