10 Horrific Movie Moments That Come Out Of Nowhere

2. Ending Spider - Enemy

Spring Movie
A24

Enemy is a whole mess of weirdness from start to finish. This is a movie that revels in its unconventional narrative, an A24 experience at its most potent; one unafraid to dish out spidery horrors that last far longer in memory than its beguiling plot. It's true to say that any lasting impression is pretty clouded, since we're faced with a big fat tarantula eyeing up Jake Gyllenhaal in the closing moments that serves as all anyone remembers from watching this creepy doppelgänger affair.

Yes, that's right, outside of the big spider there's a whole thing about Jake Gyllenhaal becoming obsessed with a man that looks just like him - but let's be realistic here. If the room-sized eight legged freak scuttling into shot - with no warning, I might add - isn't the singular memory you retain from this strange little movie, then you're doing better than the rest of us cursed to arachnid nightmares forever more.
