10 More Movie Scenes You Didn't Realise Were Tricking You
4. Fred Is Secretly Played By A Mime To Mess With Your Head - I Am Legend
In one of the more unsettling scenes in 2007's adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend novel, Dr. Robert Neville suddenly and surprisingly catches his mannequin pal, Fred, stood outside Grand Central Station.
But it's the moment the camera lingers on Fred for the first time that really left audiences questioning what they were watching. At a glance, it seems as though the filmmakers are perhaps tricking you into believing the inanimate object's head only looks like it's moving due to the bobbing camera movements.
However, the team did actually use a real-life mime to play the mannequin for this ever so subtle head turn, showing how Robert was likely just hallucinating the action that forced him to wander closer to what was actually a trap set by the Darkseekers.
It's such a sneaky and masterfully executed trick that folks are likely still double-taking the creepy and seemingly impossible moment during a rewatch to this day.
