History NightmareFuel / OneHundredAndTwentySevenHours

* The idea that you're rock climbing, and everything goes well until you make one wrong move, and a rock crushes your arm. No supernatural element, all realistic.

''127 Hours'' is based on a real experience of someone cutting off their own limb to survive, and this film perfectly captures that feeling of isolation and tension.

* Cranked UpToEleven when, in the middle of cutting off his arm with a dull knife, he reaches a nerve bundle that, despite everything else he had done to himself, was still electrically painful. The sound effects that go with it only make it worse.

* Imagine what could have happened to Aron had he not been able to cut his lower arm off to escape. He would have died from blood loss and/or dehydration and spent his last moments entirely alone. Worse yet, it’s entirely possible that if he had died in that location, his body may never have been found or recovered, so his family and friends wouldn’t have even had that little bit of closure.
