Scene w/daughter in red coat walking dog

Was anyone else really creeped out by this scene? I understand the effect that they were going for here in that the two psychos found their target and we're very excited by it, but the fact that it was viewed through our eyes really creeped the heck out of me. The music (Atlantis by Donovan) certainly added to it. It was almost as if the director tried to make us feel good about it. I can't recall another scene in any other movie that affected me quite that way.

All I could think of was Billy Batts in Goodfellas.

That scene was just like you put it! Really well done. Watching this classic for about the 5th time right now and that scene and a few others had me want to get up and take a break from the film!

It was incredibly creepy. Were they looking for his wife who was ill in bed? Presumably.

Yes, but Armed Bodyguard would have something to say about that to the weirdos. One would hope he'd blow off one or more of their heads. 😁 Fingers crossed, anyway.

Bored now.

I think the scene added to the horror of this film, that it slows down and shows us this happy girl waving to her future kidnappers oblivious to the evil in that van. It leaves the audience with a sense of dread knowing what those two were capable of.

But also too you have a point, the scene was suppose to put us in the shoes of the killer helping us understand that this simple view of the girl was like heaven revealed because in their sadistic minds seeing their next victim was a beautiful sight to behold.

I like this movie, but I have held off watching it sometimes because of the dark subject matter and the purely vile killers that Liam Neeson has to face. Those two guys were monsters.
