This is the scariest movie I have ever seen

Only two movies made me loose my sleep for nights when I first saw them, it was in my teenage years. The first, Alien, must not be explained.

The second was "Picnic at Hanging Rock" by Peter Weir. The last scene, when the camera closes in on the headmistress of the college, she now wearing all black suddenly and sits alone and motionless, when the last news is brought to her, and the last spoken words in the movie are heard by the audience. Her cold eyes, her face like stone, no movement - and then you hear how the big clock in the floor stops ticking.

That was kind of Bradburian horror.

I cannot explain why, obviously it is because of the mysterious nature of the story told before, but this scene let me fear darkness for many nights to come. Maybe because so much interpretation is possible and left to imagination. And imagination runs wild.

I still admire that movie very much.

Obviously there are other shocking movies as well, who impressed me for one or two nights, but not longer. "Don't look now" on my mind. Creepy.
