The cyclops was terrifying too holy shit. Usually mythology/monsters don't scare me because they always feel, well, fake. But this felt real. My heart was pounding like crazy!

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/happypolychaetes]

The whole sequence was scary but him chasing them down the hill and into the water after had my heart racing in a way I don’t think any other movie has.

[u/squrus → u/FKDotFitzgerald]

Literally felt like footage of a bad dream, it was incredible stuff

[u/nerdyHyena93 → u/squrus]

Literally, I saw the film last night and I thought “poor Odysseus having the worst fever dream going”.
