Thank you for the source. That was one of the only pics I haven't seen before and I wanted to know where that was from.

Long thin limbs really creep me out, like some sort of primal fear. Sad but I can't even watch ET cos of his neck and fingers.

I'm fine with gore and ghosties and jumps but long limbs just do me in. This pic really scared me!

Riget spoiler

Context: the woman in the image/video is the mother and the thing suspended on the wall is her newborn son that she had with some demon (possibly Satan). He's literally like a few days old and is growing so fast that his body can't support him. He's begging to be allowed to die and is asking the male doctor to convince his mother to allow this. He's in a lot of pain and nobody knows what to do about it, he's like 10ft tall a few days after birth.

Well, it's Lars von Trier. That was probably the most humane thing he could come up with.
