10 Times Requiem For A Dream Scared The Hell Out Of You

9. The Bit Where Marion Stares At Her Bush

In a scene lasting no longer than 30 seconds, Harry's girlfriend Marion stares at her naked lower self in the mirror, snorts a few lines of powder off a table, and then raises her arms and watches her drug induced and grinning reflection. While not scary in the traditional sense, this short clip is freaky. Have you ever just stared mindlessly at your half naked body while out of your mind on drugs? The vacant look in her eyes in disconcerting, her massive bush even more so. It makes you praise God that you're not a drug addict, because it looks lonely and weird as hell. It's Scary Because: it's an effective portrayal of the mental vacancy of drug users, and it looks so much worse than you thought.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
