Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2021) in Movies ·
The plot of this Mission Impossible should really be about how to stop the crisis management teams from tallying up the daily death toll—but honestly, even for Ethan Hunt, I think that might be pushing it. It would be a truly impossible mission.

Richard Wilson4 said:That scene near the end where that thing is crawling after Sarah Connor in the factory... man, that terrified me as a kid.

And man, that T-800 walk from the first movie? That moment where he’s heading toward the doors right before they shut... there's just something about how they captured his movement back then without any CGI. Because it was practical, it actually feels five times more horrific than anything they could whip up with modern digital effects today.

Personally, those movements just feel straight-up like a horror movie to me.

I absolutely love both films, but if I had to pick, the original always edges out the sequel for me.

Personally, I find these three scenes—specifically when the horror hits at a psychological level for the individual—to be far more terrifying than any jump scare or monster could ever be:

1. SEVEN.

That exact moment where a person realizes they’ve lost... well, LITERALLY everything. It’s a one-way street straight into madness, and honestly, there's every reason to feel that way.

2. SICARIO

Words become useless here. You have a man who carries hell inside himself, passing that very same darkness onto someone who thinks they actually understand what hell is—or who created it. He just watches them for a minute, letting them soak in that misery until it completely consumes them.

3. COLLATERAL

An absolute masterpiece of a film.

For me, the true "horror" in this scene lies in the fact that the sociopath is right about his pessimistic worldview, while simultaneously, the optimist is also right about theirs...

They touch that razor-thin gray line between black and white—the only real truth, which can be absolutely devastating. The dialogue and the atmosphere in that scene are just INCREDIBLE.

P.S. I don't think there's any greater horror for the individual than what we see in those first two scenes, no matter how you look at it.

That one scene used to give me chills—literally sent shivers down my spine. Personally, I absolutely LOVE this movie; I’m talking a massive fan of the 2007 American remake.

While the sequel was decent enough, the first one is just 🙏
.
I think I’ve watched it maybe eight or nine times now. The way they blended demonic possession and exorcism elements with zombie tropes is such a brilliant idea—it makes the whole experience feel incredibly raw and authentic.

Major props to the filmmakers.

Bryan Rogers87 said:Why? *Drag Me to Hell* is an absolute blast.

I’m right there with you—I think it’s an absolute gem. Honestly, I’ve come across plenty of discussions on various other forums (not even here, to be fair) where people dismiss it as being "overrated," claiming it didn't really land with audiences. I just can't wrap my head around that perspective at all.

To me, this movie is absolutely perfect. Raimi's It’s pure horror—he basically pulled an *Evil Dead* right out of his pocket. You know that specific style he has when he's crafting a horror flick? It's exactly that.

Look, when you set everything else aside, Hell has received some truly excellent reviews from the critics—and honestly, I’m happy about that. It’s something I've always felt was deserved.

Just go check IMDb and see for yourself—it’s all right there. I was just revisiting the page for *The Thing 1982*—it’s honestly one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits roll. There’s just something about that sense of isolation and paranoia that modern films struggle to replicate. It really stands as one of the rare horror films that manages to be both deeply unsettling and technically masterful at the same time. I remember reading a thread where darkangler11 was debating its legacy, and it got me thinking about how much this film shaped the genre. Even when you look back at the influence of directors like John Carpenter, his ability to build tension without relying solely on cheap jump scares is what makes this a masterpiece. It's funny—whenever I see discussions about the best creature effects, people always circle back to this. It’s easily in my Top 3 Sci-Fi picks when it comes to practical effects. Does anyone else feel like we've lost that specific kind of tactile dread in today's CGI-heavy era? Personally, I think nothing quite touches it.

The audience gave it a mediocre 6.5/10, yet the critics—looking specifically at Metacritic, where the scoring is notoriously brutal—actually handed it an 83/100.

That Metacritic score is basically God tier—it’s the gold standard for ratings, and honestly, I couldn't agree more.

Is this some kind of joke? I start a thread for my Top 3 Sci-Fi and then some top-tier horror comes along and completely steals the spotlight—how scandalous! 😁 Just kidding, haha 🤣🙂

Honestly, for me, this scene was... incredibly tense:

Anyway, I absolutely love this horror flick—go ahead, attack me, crucify me if you must... because I truly don't get why it’s so underrated by audiences. This time around, I actually find myself agreeing with the critics: this movie is an absolute masterpiece.

The Matrix is a masterpiece where words almost feel unnecessary—it’s packed with metaphors and layers of meaning that apply to everything around us, from our present reality to the future.

It's tough to pick just one single moment, but I'll go with this one, because metaphorically speaking, I find myself looking at this scene as if it were me—with all of us acting as Neo, standing up against a "Matrix" known as the Coronavirus Pandemic (and that globalist fascist leadership acting as Agent Smith)—an enemy that seems absolutely invincible:

Just like in The Matrix, most people are being brainwashed regarding Corona—it's a daily occurrence. In fact, many could be considered literal ENEMIES because they want nothing more than to be part of the system (much like what Morpheus said to Neo about those living within the Matrix if you try to wake them up). Even this forum might end up being part of that system, likely warning me not to post this, which would only prove my point.

Ultimately, it's incredible how this film can be METAPHORICALLY applied to so many different aspects of life.

Christian Torres3 said:Personally, I think that scene is totally awesome—forget all that "Prime Directive" diplomacy or trying to find a peaceful solution at any cost. Just blast away and deal with the fallout later.

Exactly. Sometimes there just isn't room for diplomacy, or a peaceful resolution simply isn't an option.

That’s actually why I loved Kirk and Chicago as captains from that specific angle.

Don't get me wrong, Picard is my absolute favorite, but... when it comes to those moments where the Federation needs to show some teeth and really step on the gas, I'll bet on Kirk and Chicago. 😁

P.S. I should also mention that the beautiful sequence of the Enterprise dropping out of warp and immediately opening fire—combined with the emotion and the score—felt like a genuine gift to the Enterprise after everything we grew up watching and following. That’s how I experienced it; it was one of the biggest reasons I got Goosebumps. It was just such a bad ass scene. 🙂.

I remember being in the theater during that part and feeling... well, about a thousand chills all at once, just sitting there with a massive grin on my face, haha.

Since I've been watching Star Trek since I was six years old—meaning back in 1990 through today—that scene felt like a culmination, a little tribute to us older fans as well as anyone seeing Star Trek for the first time. I remember looking around the theater right then; everyone seemed just... awestruck by what they just saw.

I know there were people there who had never even touched Star Trek before; one friend who went to the movies with us hadn't really watched any of it, but after this film, he ended up binge-watching all the series, hahaha.

darkangler11 said:I didn't want to jump in and reply until I had a chance to rewatch it today. Look, it definitely has a creepy atmosphere—no doubt about that—but I still feel like it’s missing that extra something to make me call it a masterpiece. It’s certainly solid, though; a really good watch.

It isn't quite a masterpiece, just a very good movie.

You know which parts actually got under my skin? That phone call sequence, where the caller knows exactly what he’s doing—that was chilling. And honestly, the moment his wife is driving and sees "it" out on the road... that stuck with me.

Take that phone call scene, for example; to me, it's incredibly tense 😁:

The movie is good, but personally, this stands out as one of the BEST horror scenes ever made:

P.S. Also, when he takes the recording of that call to have it analyzed on a computer, and the results show that those voice waves couldn't possibly come from any human being... that gave me the chills, haha.

P.S. If you paid attention during the film, you'll notice the director constantly uses different angles—especially low shots—to emphasize that "it" is literally always watching everything.

I was particularly drawn to this because I've been reading up on the history of "sightings" involving Mothman and that whole mythology (which, obviously, can't be proven), and I think this film captures the actual essence of Mothman and those sightings perfectly. They really couldn't have portrayed it better.

There's also something else I found exceptionally impressive about this as a horror film:

1. One of the rare horror films—maybe even the only one—that tries to explain, in a somewhat scientific way, what it would actually be like to encounter something from... well, another dimension or existence, if you will.

2. For instance: anyone who sees it ends up with bloodshot eyes, implying that our human eyes simply aren't built to process seeing "it" from a biological standpoint. It's the same logic as the bleeding from the ears while listening to it; the frequencies are non-human and originate from something completely alien to our perception of EXISTENCE. 🙂

I’ve always been an Old School hardcore Star Trek fan—well, a real Trekkie, haha—and honestly, I think I’ve watched every single episode of every series at least four times... every single one. LITERALLY.

I know a lot of Trekkies absolutely hated the 2009 movie, but personally? I thought it was great. In fact, even those who trashed it had to agree with me THAT THE OPENING SCENE (especially with that incredible score) WAS PURE EPICNESS... But man, let me tell you, this specific scene is just killer:

I have to tip my hat to the music and the whole sequence: 🙏 What a MOTHERFUCKING masterpiece. 😁 😁

I was sitting there in the theater, basically frozen... total Goosebumps everywhere.

And just one more scene from this film that gave me chills again (and yeah, my fellow Trekkies actually agreed with me that this one was EPIC too):

When the Enterprise drops out of warp and just starts unloading everything in its arsenal... MAN, WHO NEEDS STAR WARS ANYWAY?! 😁

But alright, fine, I won't start a whole Star Wars vs Star Trek war right now.

Those two camps have never really clicked, but we don't need to get into a fight about it either 🙂.

darkangler11 said:I watched it back when it first came out, and honestly, it didn't really grab me at the time—but you know, you've planted a seed here, so I might just give it another spin.

I have to tell you, I’m actually rewatching it right now—probably my sixth time total🙂.

There's just this strange, eerie atmosphere to it, especially during certain scenes. Plus, I've been reading up on those Mothman sightings purely out of curiosity, and I feel like this movie captures him perfectly; he isn't necessarily "good" or "evil," he's just... THERE.

At times, you can practically feel that tension, like someone is watching you—something supernatural, haha. It's a weird one, but I really like it. 🍿

Man, honestly? That movie has sent chills straight down my spine a few times. It’s just such a strange film—the atmosphere and certain specific moments are unlike anything else. Definitely give it another shot.

Carol Doyle36 said:Just wanted to follow up on my previous point..
I definitely prefer The Conjuring over its sequel...

I’m right there with you—hands down. 🙂

The thing is, I absolutely love The Conjuring; it captures that 1970s vibe so perfectly, it feels like it was actually filmed back then.

While The Conjuring 2 is a solid horror movie, it just lacks the soul and atmosphere of the first one. If you ask me, that’s the biggest differentiator🙂.

But hey, different strokes for different folks—for me, though, The Conjuring easily sits in my top 15 horror films of all time.

I must have watched it at least five or six times now.

Kudos—especially for that Planet of the Apes scene. 🙏

In my opinion, it might just be the biggest twist in cinematic history; even today, I can't stop marveling at that moment—it’s just Maestral.

And then there's his reaction: "You finally did it, you lunatics—you blew it up, damn you."

What I absolutely love about the character played by Heston in this MAESTRAL film is that he starts off as a total Cynic—he actually hates his own kind, which is exactly why he set out on that journey in the first place.

Only to realize halfway through just HOW VITAL YOUR OWN SPECIES IS TO YOU personally, regardless of what it is.

By the end, he's proven himself entirely right regarding his species—starting from that initial phase where he was a Cynic, except now he isn't just cynical anymore; he's FURIOUS because he realized he was right all along.
Just to follow up on what I wrote there...

The way we started this conversation, by the end, Taylor / Heston ends up being right about the human race in this specific scene.

Literally.

Because Taylor had a point: humans really are an utterly idiotic species, and something better needs to exist out there in the universe—which is why he went on that trip, only to witness firsthand just how truly foolish our species can be.

If you ask me, I give humanity maybe 20 years tops before everything goes sideways.

darkangler11 said:That top 55 horror list you put together is excellent—I’d say I agree with about 90% of the picks. Honestly, if we were trying to narrow it down to a top 10, our lists would be almost identical.👍

Do you know which Film has that same bizarre, unsettling atmosphere? It’s not exactly a mainstream household name, but I have to tell you—it gave me the chills, and I mean serious, bone-deep chills.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002)...

If you haven't seen this yet... consider it a recommendation. Personally, I found it—well, how do I put this?—just strangely good. It’s one of those Films that actually gets under your skin—I definitely had a few chills running down my spine. Real, genuine shivers. 😁.

As you can see, The Omen isn't just sitting in my top 10—for me personally, it’s actually my number 2 horror Film of all time.

Honestly, The Exorcist and The Omen are my absolute top two horror films—I could probably watch them a hundred times over and they would never, ever get old.
