The Neon Demon - The Demon Dance Scene

[@apocaalypso]

Was looking everywhere to see this scene again! I can't describe the feeling I got when I saw this scene in the cinema, this was truly incredible… No words.

[@aevi09]

apocaalypso its a great scene/song

[@roland3578]

apocaalypso I'm jealous you saw this in cinema

[@philippebeauchamp2827]

Usually big cities have theatres dedicated to art film and that's amazing. I feel lucky to be able to watch those kinds of films in a cinema

[@hungarianbeast]

I felt the same! In my country, we saw it in the hugest cinema line. There were only like 5 people in the room, including me and my friend. But we saw it in the theatre.

[@mrtuan38]

My favorite scene from one of my favorite movies

[@wolfeam5919]

The music and strobe lighting being hypnotic in itself was the primary thing that drew me but what was particularly unsettling (Besides the tied-up model spinning about in bondage mummy gear) was the predatory dead-eyed glances both of the other girls sitting together gave Elle Fanning's character at different points. Also like how the scene ends with the screen panning left with Elle Fanning's enraptured face almost being absorbed to what she's staring at. Like a sweet fly being drawn to a honeyed spiderweb.

[@NOLA007]

the staring is terrifying.

[@Saremux]

i was so high watching this movie. best decision ever

[@gabrieleszorichard9324]

Even at the end ?

So good. "C21st Giorgio Moroder" good.

[@JET7C0]

Yeah man - here I am commenting 7 years after yours, and, I just finally watched this recently, and this scene especially really stuck with me, especially because of the music - but also the strobe visuals here are amazing.

i remember my jaw just dropping during this entire scene. it's so amazingly crafted, nicholas refn is a true visual artist

[@luccaskingo]

Crazy movie

[@MarsMellow84]

Great song too by Julian Winding ❤

[@MarsMellow84]

This movie deserves so much more credit. It's not afraid to do something different. Every actor in this is great and the way its shot is beautiful too

[@danieltll8320]

Better than the overrated "The Substance"

[@ElectricSlevin]

this scene is just incredible, I rewatched it so many times....it's so damn hypnotizing the whole movie is great, it has so many beautiful shots and this threatening atmosphere is always lingering in the background...more movies like that pls and less superhero junk

[@lockandloadlikehell]

Slevin is one to be obeyed 👌

[@ludovicsoulard1896]

couldn't agree more !

[@chrisparkes]

Love or hate him, Nicholas WInding Refn is an artist. The technique here is stunning AND it serves the characters, story, and themes.

For me, the cast in this movie was absolutely perfect down to every single role, maybe the most perfect I‘ve ever seen along with Tarantinos work

[@mr.daytona7733]

This movie is so underrated. One of my favorite horror movies of all time

[@arcticwolf6402]

It's not REALLY a horror movie.

[@husymh1342]

​@@arcticwolf6402yes it is a movie about jealous

[@Lizna-r4k]

​@@arcticwolf6402It is tho. Maybe psychological horror but definitely has horror elements

[@stef1074]

The best scene of the movie together with the blood bath of Ruby later on. Everything about this scene is perfect : the music, he characters looking on at each other in the dark. Ruby already looks like a dangerous person : her reactions are scary, especially her fascination towards Jessy. This one seems to fall into a trap, mesmerized by the beauty of shiny neons...

[@FROSTBITE_33_33]

At this scene, Ruby introduces the innocent, pure "Sacrifice" to the Demon she worships.

[@FROSTBITE_33_33]

Such a beautiful film. Idk why it got such a low rating. Nwr is a genius

[@amerikajin777]

I just watched this movie. You know you've found a treasure when you watch a movie 4 times back to back. And yeah this scene was the hook.

At this scene, Ruby introduces the innocent, pure "Sacrifice" to the Demon she worships.

[@RobertoFrann]

This movie is visually stunning! 🤩

[@HyperboreaFlashes]

The proxemics of these shots and cinematography itself made me not to trust Ruby despite how friendly she appeared at a first glance. How she is standing behind Jesse in a quite sneaky way, how you don't see any real expression until Jesse looks at her and then she puts on the happy excited facade. The way Gigi glares at Jesse while red flashes are going on, it's just scary. She genuinely looks like a psychopath. Loved every minute of this film.

[@Roman888]

The way Bella and Abby stare at Elle

[@redsol3629]

Watching this a second time is so much more sinister.

[@maximiliandort3489]

That scene absolutely blew me away in theatre

[@frankthecat1660]

So much body language in this scene

[@wanderinginthewoods_sam]

This honestly is one of my favorite Horror Scenes. Anytime I think of a horror scene that pulls me in, this is definitely one of them. It pulls me in and I feel like I'm being hypnotized. I think a lot of people feel like this. I love Jena Malone in this movie so much. She truly mastered this role.

[@7h3Grudg3]

I'm addict from this scene. Hell yea.

[@Ephryad]

0:40 Кто был в кинотеатре в этот момент поймёт меня - у всех просто привстала шишка, и тела покрылись муражками) Нереальный момент экстаза от внезапного бита музыки и этих стропоскопных вспышек

[@iam_the_obiwan_ginmex8028]

A harmless fly is being lured into the spider’s web

[@wutsfordinner]

Somehow Jena Malone stole this through her reactions.... along with the rest of the movie

[@EmyN]

I guess the figure represents the neon demon, with Ruby way in the back, then Sarah, then Gigi and Jessie being the closest to it, in the end she stepped towards it as if there is no going back

[@FROSTBITE_33_33]

At this scene, Ruby introduce the innocent, pure "Sacrifice" to the Demon she worships.

[@LiirThropp2687]

​@@FROSTBITE_33_33 Are Ruby and the other two girls witches? I love this movie and it really seems like they performed a magic ritual at the end with Jesse as their sacrifice.

[@FROSTBITE_33_33]

@@LiirThropp2687 Exactly they are..as you mentioned it, our pure little soul has been sacrificed to this demon just as they asked her "are you food or are you sex?" and decided shes food/sacrifice since she rejected the gang sexually..

[@kailee87]

PERFECTION

[@blxshp291]

This movie is absolute fucking magic

[@jannadelle]

I admit feeling really upset about the film. Not because of the ending. I just had some problems with the film’s pacing I guess? But can’t deny that after days of seeing it, I can still remember scenes from it. This scene in particular , as well as the casting scene, stood out for me - not much or no dialogue at all. This one’s dark and foreboding while the other one’s light and bare but you can see glances and reactions that, for me, speak more of how these characters think and what their motivations are. I dread to say this but this film might need a second viewing.

[@FROSTBITE_33_33]

This is actually a disturbing movie.. disturbing yet clarifying.. the true nature of the "industry" run by deviant, psychopathic Demon worshippers...

[@DylanRomanov]

I thought Jessie’s death felt anti climatic bu I really enjoyed parts of this film

[@WingItMan217]

I thought it was alright. Visuals were definitely the best part, but I wish more scenes looked like this one. Or at least they coulda had more bright, sensual lighting. Like old school Suspiria where every shot in the movie’s saturated to hell lol

Would love to visit similar parties, at least with the same music (slow, deep and dark. Ebsm I think?). Anyone who can point me in the right direction within Europe?

[@danikalee560]

[@powerinmisery]

Reminds me of german techno/tech house. I've been to a few underground techno parties in berlin wich gave off a similar vibe. It's also this dark, hard hitting, industrial type of sound

[@sgmlol]

Prey being given to predators.

[@daleyemissions]

Sebas Velazquez' it's called Shibari? It's Japanese rope tying, and it's very popular in fetish communities

[@Scarde13]

Not a club show, the three girls bring the little one to their demon. Inside of them, the idea of a sacrifice is starting to build up.

[@daleyemissions]

No.... it's a Shibari show. My ex-girlfriend has done Shibari shows, and I'm just a huge fan of Shibari in general. That is what they look like. Usually their a lot less dramatic though.

[@Scarde13]

Yes I know the Shibari, but it has a different meaning in the movie, there's no other people in that moment except the three girls and that creature. when they entered the club it was crowded. the real meaning of this scene is the irresistible attraction the dark and unknown world of fashion can have on a young and innocent girl; while she ignores the wolfs that it hides behind.
