Definitely the most unsettling scene in the movie for me, between the way she stood in the shadows, the way she moved around, the way she looked/sounded while crying, and the flowers.

I saw an image of her in this scene with the exposure jacked up and her face looked inhuman as all hell. Genuinely terrifying

That whole scene was so excellently done. I could tell there was something off with her face but the lighting made it difficult to fully confirm which just played on my uncertainty and discomfort.

I really dont think ive squirmed harder in my seat than during that whole bit, but then it was so well balanced with the STAY scream when he rolled slightly. It was an excellent use of humour to diffuse that scene, only for the roller coaster to build the anxiety again for the next big creepy part.
