I feel the most horrific part in this movie for me personally was when it was flying over the house and you could hear the people still screaming from within it. They’d been in there hours and the screams were so bloodcurdling, I genuinely had goosebumps. The whole films sound design was impeccable!

[@xenomite1938]

And then it just consumes them fully and all of their screams turn to silence…definitely left me creeped tf out

[@amandac9894]

THAT!! THAT SCENE! Awful I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as horrifying like it, when I first saw the scene I assumed they were already dead and digested at that time. But no you hear them still screaming meaning they’ve been suffering for HOURSSS! Then that silence afterwards and you know they’re gone…followed by the blond pouring over the house. The cinematography of that scene is unforgettable.

[@lukebingus9432]

[@sanlorenzo7896]

They screamed nonstop for hours. I would’ve thought their voices would give out, but the pain forced them to keep going.

[@roin4042]

[@12Lanye]

I didn’t see the movie but reading the book made me feel shivers and just to imagine that I myself was also like being “transformed.” I loved the book, but like this movie of “Nope” is just psychological fear of the unknown.

Also if you look at the behind the scenes work on Annihilation, the left side of the bear's head had sort of a human skeletal face on it.

[@niko8006]

I thought the same!

[@12Lanye]

@@DarthTurducken Actually the book said that it was a person before entering the dimension. And the whole group that spent the night in the area, all of them got drunk and they were imitating the bear noises but the book said as well that when the creature made the sounds back it was like hearing a person agonize in pain, like if the bear itself was not an animal but a human that got infected and because of the infection either by spores or a sting, slowly they got a metamorphosis.

This scene messed me up. The collective confusion, fear and agony of the people as they scream sent chills through me. The fact that many scenes in the movie you can hear screaming in the distance makes it even more disturbing. I loved the creature concept and design.

The thing is, I think the horse was blocking the way. That’s why the woman stops. But the people are still getting pushed up. It might also be why the blood comes raining down. The people weren’t able to finish being digested and got crushed and expelled, along with the horse after. Notice how the TMZ guy stops screaming a lot sooner. Nothing was blocking the way for him to be digested. Might also be why they all started screaming so loud. They were all being pushed up into each other. But that’s just my theory

[@AnoraFan-z1v]

I agree with you, he needed those people for lubricator to crush them and dislodge the horse, I feel like even if Lucky had left her stable she may have still been spared because JJ obviously wouldn’t trust eating the horses after the decoy statue

[@Thommy2n]

I personally interpreted Jupe's actions as that him taking that survivors guilt with an unhealthy dose of denial. He didn't want to believe him being the only unscathed one was dumb luck, instead thinking maybe it was a sign he was special and could connect with any potentially (or definitely) dangerous creatures. So if a chimp who killed his cast offered him a fist bump instead, why not try befriending a eldritch style flying creature that regularly hoovered up horses?

[@teengoogle]

yes, definitely!! i also believe this was symbolized by the upright shoe. there's a lot of discussion wondering what it could have meant (i've seen some claim it was what saved ricky's life by distracting him from looking in gordy's eyes, but i actually think it was the tablecloth that did that). i interpreted it as having fueled ricky's delusions of grandeur - he thought that it was a sign that he was special or "chosen", when (just like his unlikely survival) it was just an extremely lucky coincidence, not a divine symbol.

This scene shook me up like nothing has in a long time. Just imagine being one of the poor souls who attended the Star Lasso Experience- you're suffocating inside a massive, alien creature's boiling innards, the stench of stewing carcasses searing the inside of your nostrils. All of your bones are steadily shattered by the peristalsis . Your skin, sinews, and muscles all sizzle off, layer by fragile layer, as you're doused in its pooling stomach acid and your screams of agony join countless others in a horrific symphony. There's no escape. No relief. Just death on all sides.

When I found out it was the alien creature, it terrified me more than it being a spaceship of aliens. Knowing both the horses and humans screaming and crying in the distance sky, goes to show how primordial the creature was. Only to obey it’s instinct to eat. And as the humans were been ingested was horrifying. The feeling of claustrophobia, and slowly being absorbed of your body’s flesh, bodily fluids, and self in the dark, can only make one feel sympathetic for some poor rodent or prey, who has not been properly killed by it’s devouring nemesis and swallowed alive.

[@theshadowplaysrblx2495]

Yea, I thought that the UFO’s digestive tract was a transportation tube or something taking them somewhere on the ufo to be probed. Never in a million years did I think that they were actually being digested

[@xxCrapNamexx]

I have an idea that JJ doesn't actually traditionally digest people as we see no gastric organs or bodily fluids when it 'unfolds'. The metal it swallows is also unaffected. I think it just squishes it's prey to eat the organic stuff. What's causing people to instantly scream and say "it burns" is being low level electrocuted by it's bio-electric capabilities. It'd also explain why it shoots out the metal components so violently, it's acting like a living rail gun.

[@nobodyimportant2510]

I never took that into consideration it does have those electro static ion organs which enable it to fly and such, when I saw it unfold and puff up I remember saying to myself there’s no way this thing eats like most normal earth organisms do. It being a living rail gun has some merit as we see metal objects get expelled faster than the other objects.

[@deechonada]

wow, the rail gun thing you mentioned is spot on. I never noticed that. I was wondering why on earth the metal would have enough momentum to embed into wood and dirt in such a matter but you've hit the nail on the head (no pun intended rest in peace OJs dad)

[@galinthias639]

I think it would be both! Jean jacket was based on a jellyfish according to the scientific consultant, and they have digestive juices in the (cavity? Stomach?) So that's sort of more horrifying

[@deechonada]

@@galinthias639 considering our bodies convert random edible food and water into hydrochloric acid, its not a stretch that JJ secretes some sort of acid maybe in a gaseous state to steam the meat off the bones. Also i think It's interesting that they felt "hot" knowing that in the flying saucer configuration JJ has multiple pockets and folds, all he has to do is decrease the volume of certain sacks of air to increase the pressure thus heating up the space inside. The heat they felt was probably the area they were in gradually decreasing in volume until they were squished under immense pressure. Im honestly dumbfounded by the amount of thought simple single lines in the movie provokes. Just watched it today, going to force my parents to watch it with me soon

The “wide angle shot” you describe is actually the POV of JJ - watching how the food was sucked into its gullet. There is a “Behind the Scenes” video where they discuss the physical structure of JJ and how the hole/maw lead into the “throat” which essentially was along the upper part of the creature (in a radial fashion). Imagine instead of going into a stomach cavity, being digested as you went through the esophagus and then through the small and large colon. You get a much more visceral experience.

So for me the creature just crush them inside very fast.

Peele designed JJ to be like sea life so the people are probably mildly masticated in the esophagus (squeezing) before being crushed in the stomach and intestines with an acid gland like a clam would eat. Maybe anything JJ doesn't spit out becomes a sky pearl. Lol

[@BalcoraMcFly]

There are so many things that made this scene so chilling. • Jupe felt like he was in control (as people do). • He mentions that the first horse seemed like it was going home • They all got sucked up into the UFO and you think "whoa, they're getting beamed up to the mothership... COOL!" but then you see the organic interior & people being moved through a membrane • Then you realise that this isn't some amazing celestial event, they are literally being digested slowly by a huge animal.... that's it... that's how they end • It appears over the house and they are still screaming in pain and for help • Then the inside of the creature contracts and you hear a crushing sound. The screaming immediately stops and blood and the undigested metal and plastic falls to earth. • Then you realise what happened at the start of the movie. The alien was basically shitting out the remains of other victims. • THEN! You realise why the "ship" made a screeching sound while it flew through the air The lack of understanding and control, mixed with hindsight is definitely what made this movie so good. This was just a huge hungry alien creature that saw us as prey. The second it pulls your feet from the ground untethered, that's it, there is nothing you can do. it's going to suck you up, digest you alive, crush you, and shit your keys and coins out. I absolutely loved this movie. It was one of those gems i saw a trailer for... forgot about and then watched on a whim

[@_loechness_]

Two things! : 1. What makes the Star Lasso scene even creepier and more depressing is that after everyone was eaten, you can hear Jupe's voice playing on replay at Jupiter's Claim and that it just keeps playing all day and all night and so on while us, the theater audience, know what happened to Jupe and the other attendees. Jupe, his family and the audience had to experience that chaotic and isolating death and Jupe's voice just echoes out into the empty air after their physical bodies have all been destroyed. The only remnants of those people existing are their keys, wallets and the memories their friends and families have of them. 2. When the end credits roll at the end of the movie the screen changes through a color gradient similar to what JJ's insides look like.

I think the most unsettling part was right before this, when Jupe was looking right at Jean Jacket. His expression is so hard to read imo. He looks distressed, shocked, and a little sad that his so called connection to JJ was all in his head, and that he wasn’t special, and that he damned himself, his family, and all of the attendees and workers there at the time.

In the script for that shot, it reads “As the wind kicks up and the shadow descends overhead, he realizes what he’s done. He almost has to laugh.” That alone gave me chills.

[@Aya-ow3ku]

Another way to also look at that scene is that this could be a commentary on how child actors are also exploited along with animals for a sort of spectacle and on the trauma child actors may face just for the viewer's pleasure. Child actors growing up may not be able to move on from clinging onto showcasing this "spectacle" that it may end up "consuming" them and their loved ones. Hence why this happened at the family and friends showing: all of those people in the audience at that point are people who Jupe is close with, which makes this feel even worse that he's there, knowing that what he did made everyone there who he loves suffer a horrible fate.

Besides a whole family getting trapped in a fire or devoured by a giant snake, the closest helplessness thing you can imagine are whole families with kids trapped in a Nazi death camp- all waiting for their turn to die, helpless to save themselves or their own kids from the gas chamber, or being starved while worked slowly to death, or butchered alive in medical experiments. Different type of helplessness, but similarly doomed with no chance of escape, and those actually happened to millions.

I think this scene scared the hell out of me because in a very crude way it makes you understand that humanity is no match for this creature.

Like I'm getting comfort from the fact that I'm writing this comment for example and I'm confident someone will read it and be able to relate; that will ameliorate my discomfort; which is exactly what all these people had stripped away from them, despite having their closest connected people there. I think it makes me feel like, impotent and despairing about the true power strength or worth of my connections. The feeling of inability to offer any comfort in this situation.

Even before you realise they're being eaten and digested, the way this scene is presented conveys the horror of an alien abduction like nothing else I've seen. The way the people are all sucked up into the dark, find themselves in a totally inscrutable space and are totally helpless and have no idea what's going to happen to them is so terrifying. I'm almost entirely numb to horror movies at this point but this scene was extremely disturbing.

[@angryboi595]

This scene horrified me, the confused and horrified screams of people in agony being slowly sucked in and suffocated as those disgusting sounds play is absolutely brutal, and we hear it for long, they’ve been suffering in there for hours, until they just suddenly…stop screaming, it also gives me a lot of claustrophobia

[@HawkTeevs]

Not sure if this is intentional or not, but I like how some of Jean Jacket’s traits seem to be inspired by War of the Worlds. The sounds it makes sound a lot like the tripods’ horns in Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the book, and there’s also the fact that you can’t tell if Jean Jacket is a animal or a machine at first (which is also a trait that the tripods share in War of the Worlds). Again, I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but it’s still cool and really fitting for “NOPE”.

For me what was terrifying about this scene is that Peele leaned into it. My expectation was for them to get sucked up and for it to fly away or we cut to next scene. But Jordan instead takes us inside the monster and shows us HOW they’re being digested. For me I hadn’t seen that before in quite this way so it felt like he subverted my expectation as a viewer and crosses a boundary of reveal that I didn’t think he would. So it shook me on many levels.😅

[@bourne2crimson397]

Ya' know, I just realized the other significant component of horror: *injustice.* Think about why you feel so awful and terrified for characters in, say, Color Out Of Space (2019), Tremors, or this film. It's mostly because they're almost entirely sympathetic, grounded, and it helps when they're people so similar to people you may know (i.e., the elderly couple in Tremors). Seeing people, not one-dimensional caricatures, suffer a horrific fate so beyond their control when they've done nothing to deserve it just adds a piece of indignation which mixes too well with the classic Lovecraftian sense of utter helplessness; *good people are dying, dying in agony, but there's nothing anyone can do about it.*

The simple reason it hit me so perfectly is the reason the whole movie works so well for me pacing wise. We start off with the suspenseful mystery, then when it’s finally time see the “saucer” we are shown that nah this ain’t a regular alien film, this is a monster movie. The people flying in like tiny ants, the shot of JJ’s single uncaring eye organ looking at the camera like “yep, this is what’s happening and there’s nothing they or you can do about it”. Then finally we get the grand action pack finale that really makes it feel like a new age Jaws. And funny enough everyone is saying from that point on that the audience was being digested, I disagree I think that after the horse prop JJ literally couldn’t properly consume anything correctly and the “crush we hear right before the blood rain is him clenching his esophagus basically crushing all of them so he could puke out the prop horse. Those poor people where stuck confused for hours just to get instantly turned into pulp.

No I definitely felt a more visceral terror from this scene than any of the Gordy scenes. Personally the not knowing, being lost in what you're seeing and not understanding it but just seeing and hearing that it was PAINFUL, it's terrifying because it's unimaginable horror. It's something removed from reality. The Gordy scenes were brutal and bloody and kind of numbing in some way. They were also simply tragic, and shocking. But not bone chillingly terrifying like the 'consumption' scene. For me, THAT is what will stick in my mind from the film. It was deeply disturbing. I found myself shaking from them on whenever there were Jean Jacket encounters, because I was left to wonder the mechanisms of this creature, and the demise of the people that were sucked up by it.
