Fun fact:Wendigos originate from Algonquian folklore there are 7 types of wendigo from different Algonquian tribes some of them do have animal features but none of them have deer skulls. Until dawn wendigos are very accurate to what wendigos are look like in the original stories but not quite because wendigos are supposed to be over 15 feet because in the original stories it says the more they eat the taller they become which is why they are always hungry and why Algonquian legend calls them giants with a heart literally made of ice.Wendigos get so hungry that they chew their lips off. Since they are winter spirits they only live in cold places in the American continent like Minnesota's northwoods, the forest of the great lake region and the central regions of Canada. The only way to kill a wendigo is to destroy the heart with fire.Once the heart is destroyed he trapped human is now free but now the wendigo spirits is also free to posses new victims. They only posses anyone that eats human flesh in a winter forest once possessed the victim becomes more monstrous.Wendigos represent the dangers of selfishness and greed taking over a person.
It amazes me how none of them were worried about Lily who was supposedly still in the bathroom all night. Like they all just went to sleep while the shower was running all night and never wondered if she was okay. Honestly she should've took Everett's keys and left all of them.
This was odd to me too. We are in the middle of the woods in a cabin with one bathroom. I assume everyone is showering almost daily if they are searching the woods all day.

Really happy you said the best thing to run into was a bear and not a moose. A moose is wayyy scarier. Heck, their biggest predator is the orca when moose get too cocky and decide to swim.
You can technically reason with a bear by leaving them alone when they start entering threat stances. They aren't looking to kill people, they're more interested in fish and berries than meat. Only reasons they get pissed is when you're in their territory or if you're too close to their cubs.
A lesson that I learned pretty quickly from being out in the wilderness a lot is that if a predator is attacking you, it's (usually) because it's hungry and if you can convince it you're not worth the trouble it'll hunt something else. But if an herbivore is attacking you, it's because it wants to kill you and you better hope to God that you have something to save your ass.
Red Dead: Undead Nightmare had the same idea but makes sense, people who are likely out either die, are locals smart enough to stay far away or learn about it way to late.
Not trying to save I don't think. If you have tons of people taking your food and pretty much turning rotten it's less for them to eat. That was demonstrated at the beginning.. I honestly think the big foot attacked so they have a bigger chance at a meal.

Wendigos in mythology follow the fictional vampire power scale the longer they exist, eventually having power over the weather and controlling what you can hear, idk about telekinesis tho
@@abiutheartist i mean in the same way a D&D lich is a "god." I guess? Wendigos have a pretty niche weakness but once you have it, it's pretty easy to deal with them, even if they've crept up this power scale I say easy because as long as u have ur wits about you and at least 2 people for back up and weapons covered in white ash, you're golden.
17:42 That's creepy, I live near the Uwharrie national forest, and one night I was walking home from my mom's house and as I stepped up onto my porch this ball of dirt hit me right in the face. Knocked my lens out of my glasses and I had to run back to my mom's and she had to put a flax seed in my eye to remove some debris. I never thought it could have been thrown. Just thought it got catapulted somehow... Creepy!
I was in Iceland once. And i experienced the 'hidden people (Huldufolk)" It's a long story. I did not actually see the creatures, but i did hear them and it made me rly scared. It was like i was on the same road i was, but not quite, i was like in a parallel world for a bit.
I feel like a lot of these movies have a very simple solution for beating them: Conceal carry. As Thomas Jefferson probably once said, stay strapped or get clapped
What kind of Professor takes you out to a place where people frequently go missing or died Wouldn’t a normal professor take you to a science convention or somewhere with people around other than the woods?
He's trying to catch up with his big brother. They both dreamed of being famous biologists who catalogued the most rare creatures in the world. One day Oak, one day.
You'd think so, but no In middle school our teachers took us on a trip in the woods and a few things happened: A. We found a drunk guy in the middle of nowhere on some hills who literally looked as if he was dead B. We got lost without even being that deep in the woods C. Some kids were throwing stones at other kids (sure, at their bellies and legs, but still...) D. Some kids left early before we went deep into the woods while others disappeared as they took of on their own and only hours later we heard from them - they decided to visit some meadows or go home without telling anybody, so it was pretty much "A is gone.... oh u say they went home? Okay sure I'll trust you" And it wasn't even a big mountain or something, it was pretty tame So.... yeah, you'd think so, but no haha
Honestly, this video MORE THAN EVER makes me wish you did Video Games. Like seeing you talk about How To Beat Until Dawn without the limitations of the game would be great.
When you were elaborating about the eyes. It's straight up the old quote: Eyes rarely go in pairs. Usually they are equipped with a hundred teeth, a dozen claws and a digestive tract. Exactly in that order
What's I've been told about Wendigos whether it be legends or stories told from my mom: - Whistling at night attracts them - Don't say Wendigo or say it's name out loud as it can attract them. - If it sounds far away, it's close and vise versa. - It can smell blood from miles away. - It can mimic voices/screams. Not sure how much of it checks out though, but I'm sure whistling at night is a huge superstition.
A lot of that also applies to skinwalkers. All I know is that one side of has some Native American and the other has some proper Irish. And both sides come with stories to stay out of the woods at night.
Yea its just that, a superstition, now granted i aint bout to be doin it at night in the forest lmfao, too tactically minded for that, wouldnt wanna give away my location, but at the same time i wouldnt be out there at apl without at least three guns, my 357, semi auto shotgun, and my lovely ak107, hell racking off the magnum like three times would make anyone or anythint stop and think for a moment hmmm is this guna hurt? And at least i can fight back, even if its pointless
@@themanwithnoname1839Where the hell did you get an AK-107? Assuming you live in the US, there's no way you were able to buy an AK-107 or the civilian version (SR-1) as I'm pretty sure Kalashnikov only made one production run because it was a huge commercial flop. Not to mention, it's a pain to get newer Russian rifles intended for military use (I mean fully built in Russia and shipped overseas. Excluding parts kits)
“If you and your friends where on a field trip and found yourselves in the territory of, not one, not two, but three murderous cryptids, what would you do” Honestly, at some point you gotta take it as a sign that, god doesn’t want you alive.😂😂😂😂
2 things about the scene where the girl untied herself from the tree. First no don't untie yourself early while the man with a gun has it pointed at you yes wait for him to be distracted. Second when you are free yes run towards him aka the way you came to the clearing and not off in some random direction into the monster filled woods with no where to go.
Well untie yourself as soon as possible and pretend to still be bound, there's no benefit to remaining tied up. And she has no knowledge that there could be threats in any direction except the one she runs towards so unless she was going for the weapon or keys to the car ANY other direction puts where further from known danger.
A Wendigo was a supernatural evil spirit in first Nations mythology. The non-spirit form is mostly a modern take. Its main weapon was its ability to mind control its victims, make them commit cannibalism and, not shockingly, murder. As far as I know you could not defeat it only make it not come for you, as its mental powers kinda made a fight impossible. In some sense this movie got it pretty correct in portrayal.
The absolute best choice of background music, I was even sad when you changed it for a short period. Actually makes these death games sound a lot more serious.
How to beat wendigo? Either show him a new ARG and run away while he's distracted or tell him to record a new volume of disturbing things found on the internet
Only 3 minutes in and we've already got someone searching for danger without any plan for what to do if they actually find it. This is going to be good. Lmao
True like if your power randomly cuts out at night don't go out unarmed it is common for intruders to cut the power at your breaker and knock you tf out when you open the door
Idk where Wendigos originated from but holy shit. Seeing them in games and hearing about them in little horror stories these things are no joke. I'd rather deal with hordes of the undead then these things
You would have a way better chance to survive a zombie horde then a wendigo if they attacked you house zombies might not even be able to get in but if the wendigo is hungry and it definitely will be it will get in
Wendigo is native american spirit tale in origin. Most likely a primitive tale to keep people selfless and more useful collectively. Basicly someone being stuck and driven by primal hunger to cannibalism would possibly be not perceived as logical back then, rather as evil spirit possession.
1:05 Whoever decides to go investigate or piss it off is now an official offering in my mind. I woulda just about faced and turned off all the lights after locking and barricading the doors. Nope nope and nope. I’ll leave at dawn.
A general rule of thumb: Never go outside in unknown territory, be it forest or jungle. Lots of creepy crawlies come out at night to spin webs or generally hunt for food, and many of them can be considered dangerous to interact with. This place may not be Brazil, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous when going out at night.
Once the Wendigos started hunting them they had no chance Wendigos are too fast, too strong and too stealthy to avoid Of course it depends on the Wendigos, every story they are in is different
I do appreciate that Chris, the one person being selfless, is the one to survive. Lilly may have waited for him, but probably only out of survivals sake and she already attempted to have them leave without a care about their friends. Marie cared more about having a necklace than report the body. Other white guy cared more about his own grades then doing the right thing. Rob cared more about his need to find big foot. And the professor showed his selfishness by making that trip in the first place.
At 27:43 since we know for a fact he attacks unprovoked the fact the bigfoot didn't reach forward and snap that mans neck like a twig is nothing shy of a miracle
It looks like he was a pet or something because the first time he saw the guy he didn’t kill him and he might have been protecting him from the night and when he roared Bigfoot came to his aid and fought for him
Honestly, you are so much better than other TH-camrs (I am mainly comparing you to Cinema Summary because you two are the biggest ones). I never really understood how he overtook you, you post videos a lot more frequently I like your humor a lot more and you explain way better. Hope you're doing well!
Cinema Summary has probably the worst “How to Beat” videos imo. Especially with “Spontaneous” which is him just speculating entire video and retelling plot. Nerd Explains at least offers way to solve stuff and in the end of the video has very good summing up of the video.
7:19 the .577NE would still be around 12 to 14lbs The thinking man's option is the long action AR10 chambered in 375 or 416 Ruger for a better blend of dangerous game stopping power and maneuverability as unlike the Nitro express the 375 ruger is designed around an 18 inch barrel
Oddly enough, that add read was probably the most convincing read I’ve come across. I’m not going to buy any form of powder I put in water, but you had me thinking about it
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is a black man camping, finding a dead body and not immediately wanting to go home, then seeing a chick be possessed and not nope tf outta there instantly 😂
considering at the start they can quite literally see the antlers its either a deer in which case theirs no reason to track it down since its not anything important or a moose which you dont want to track down because it is dangerous
Damn that moments when you've watched every nerd explains video and you think you've found a new one you missed. Only to remember within 5 seconds you've watched this one:(
I like that they actually look like Wendigos rather than the wechuge you see them so often confused with. Wechuge being the one with antlers and glowing eyes.
I mean, I think dying in the phase of planning your attack gets you into Valhalla. Sure, you're not in combat, but as long as you die with your weapon in hand as you make decisions to do a god's work, I think that counts. May Odin himself comment if I'm wrong on this.
Kick to the groin is not a great opener, especially when ultra-close quarters. With his head pointed down like that, pull your head back as far as you can and push of the hard surface behind you and headbutt him straight in the bridge of the nose, it should break, even if it doesn't his eyes will water and his head will reflexively pull back. Bounce back and push again off the tree to build momentum and drive your knee as deep into his groin as you can get, visualize pulling your knee up to your chest. Once he goes down stomp his face until breath comes out in a horrible gurgle. If he covers his face stomp on his hands, crush his fingers underfoot keep stomping to the tempo of "The Only Thing They Fear is You" and scream and rage while you do it, gets the adrenaline pumping. Remember the only thing they fear should be you, the object here is not just to hurt them, it is to break them, physically and mentally. If anyone thinks I sound psychotic remember I am describing a life and death situation that you have a less than 20% chance of survive even if you are physically superior. The objective is to live, a side benefit is that they will never ever do this to anyone again, that means the attacker must be destroyed or at least crippled, if someone tried to kidnap me I'd want him to see me in his nightmares or nothing at all forever.
holy fuck i think the knee kick to the groin is enough. My younger brother knee kicked me in the stomach and hes only 14 and it took me a whole 30 seconds to recover i cant imagine that to the groin region.
@@schoolstories2427 The problem is an experienced killer will likely expect a blow to the groin, it 's too obvious and too defensible. Trust me if I drive the hardest part of my skull into the soft cartilage of your nose, it will take hours to see clearly again.
This is the only movie where Nerd Explains would not have to worry about surviving. The spirit of the Forest would be bowing down for him as he's the Alpha when it comes to Cannibalism.
I think if Lilly had warned them about everret and made noise in the bathroom to prevent getting taken and they had the gun and barricaded one room instead of the whole house they could survive till morning between the 4 of them.
This is possibly the best Ad break I have ever witnessed in any youtube video ever. Good job, I am not getting the free sample because I am not fast enough of course. But maybe the 10% will come in handy.
That ad read was beautiful. I'm noticing a few creators are getting to be more entertaining with their reads, and I think it honestly works. Think I'm gonna try it if it ships to the UK...
I haven't seen the movie but from the description, my theory is that Bigfoot was a poor soul possessed by the spirit of flesh but fought off the infection to keep some of his sanity to become a sort of Anti-hero
Tonight, I hope your blanket feels so cozy that you feel embraced by it as you tuck yourself in, that you feel so comfortable and at ease in your bed that you sleep with not one worry in your mind and no nightmares through the night.

That's the best-written ad I've ever heard on this site and if I had money, I'd do it just for that. The whole thing was a ride I could imagine in my head like I was listening to an audiobook.
Nah, the world's dimmest bathroom is the one I used in Arizona at an rental. It had wiring to above the vanity, no overheads, and there was a halfway wall that blocked that light from going into the shower. The area to pass to the toilet was probably about 2 feet wide, just a little more than my shoulder width on each side, meaning it was all reflective light at a weaker amount to reach the shower. If I had to guess, if overhead lighting for a shower is 100% power, this would be like 25%, shit was dark enough you could fall asleep in the tub (I did that)
ALSO,one of the cryptids at the start had a clear antler part of it’s head in the dark,it has a slight light on it showing the antlers,if it’s massive and has antlers just stay inside Another also,how does a cryptozoologist not know wendigo can imitate a human’s voice to trick people,my god
Hey Im from upstate NY. Glad to see something besides NYC being shown. Also my parent grew up in the town where a quiet place was filmed, so do with that info what you will.
I’m a minute and a half in and they see eyes in the dark that are kinda high up and something big enough to knock over trash cans… and don’t immediately lock themselves in out of fear of the probably bear outside? Edit: 3 minutes in and I am shown to be correct in my guess that bear eyes shine like that.
Sig Sauer p320 compact .45 acp w/ Hogue combat grip sleeve, glow-in-dark sights(homemade 😉), two 9 round mags and Hornady .45acp+P 220gr jhp ammo. Not my only firearm, but my go-to gun when I go camping/hiking/property line patrol.
Honestly if I was out in the woods where both Bigfoot and wendigos are believed to be inhabited I'd choose the massive 2 bore double barrel shotgun over a hunting rifle with a scope since it could probably kill either one or at the very least wound them badly enough to force them into retreating and leave me alone long enough to get the hell out of there safely
Big Foot is one, the spirit is one, and the turned humans are another. When I watched the movie, I didn't even consider the turned people true wendigos. Just minions of the wendigo.
Either just not go or go in with enough firepower to level the entire forest. Dragon's breath rounds out of a shotgun would be a good weapon to bring with you along with an AR 15 or AK 47 and at least 8 magazines with something like an EOTech so you don't restrict your field of vision too much
New movie idea: a person finishes watching all NerdExplain’s videos and ends up in a deadly trap that incorporates the knowledge learned from the videos
I live in Upstate NY. We also have, unofficially, mountain lions here. Yeah I know the state says we don't, but we do. If you go into the woods here, at night, especially, without *some* sort of weapon, ideally a firearm, you are more or less asking for problems. Coyotes will stalk and attack people, and while Black Bears are *usually* harmless, they're still wild animals and thus unpredictable. We get foxes with rabies an awful lot, which are incredibly aggressive, and as you pointed out: Moose. The people in this movie are dumber than a rock to go anywhere near rural upstate NY forests without some kind of firearm, and deserve to be eaten by bigfoot for it!
I love how the wendigo,reality manipulating cannibal demons have to try and hunt while they,most often seen as the apex predator,have a stronger enemy they can't really kill or possess,the sasquatch
For anyone confused why a bear is better to run into than a moose just remember that moose are as tall as a bus and as long as a car. An animal that weighs that much with the horns they have could absolutely annihilate you (honestly wendigos would get destroyed by a moose and big foot wouldn't get off so easy either.) That's just in the forest, hippos and rhinos are much heavier and scarier (not to mention things like great whites or orcas.) Hell a whale could accidentally turn you into jely just by speaking so we can lump them on this list. If you think about it we don't really need supernatural creatures because the real world is already super scary and full of things constantly ready to kill us.
a bear is also a predator that doesnt want to put too much energy in so you can back away and it would leave you alone a moose would still come after you

Not trying to save I don't think. If you have tons of people taking your food and pretty much turning rotten it's less for them to eat. That was demonstrated at the beginning.. I honestly think the big foot attacked so they have a bigger chance at a meal.
@@PallidTrash but then why not attack chris and kill the windigoes?

@@guyrex213 "They shape our will. They are the culture."
Wendigos in mythology follow the fictional vampire power scale the longer they exist, eventually having power over the weather and controlling what you can hear, idk about telekinesis tho
Basically They Become Gods
@@abiutheartist i mean in the same way a D&D lich is a "god." I guess? Wendigos have a pretty niche weakness but once you have it, it's pretty easy to deal with them, even if they've crept up this power scale
I say easy because as long as u have ur wits about you and at least 2 people for back up and weapons covered in white ash, you're golden.
17:42 That's creepy, I live near the Uwharrie national forest, and one night I was walking home from my mom's house and as I stepped up onto my porch this ball of dirt hit me right in the face. Knocked my lens out of my glasses and I had to run back to my mom's and she had to put a flax seed in my eye to remove some debris.
I never thought it could have been thrown. Just thought it got catapulted somehow...
Creepy!
Woah, that’s creepy
I was in Iceland once. And i experienced the 'hidden people (Huldufolk)" It's a long story. I did not actually see the creatures, but i did hear them and it made me rly scared. It was like i was on the same road i was, but not quite, i was like in a parallel world for a bit.
@@someguy7629 Fascinating! Stay safe out there. :)
I feel like a lot of these movies have a very simple solution for beating them: Conceal carry. As Thomas Jefferson probably once said, stay strapped or get clapped

What kind of Professor takes you out to a place where people frequently go missing or died
Wouldn’t a normal professor take you to a science convention or somewhere with people around other than the woods?
He's trying to catch up with his big brother. They both dreamed of being famous biologists who catalogued the most rare creatures in the world. One day Oak, one day.
You'd think so, but no
In middle school our teachers took us on a trip in the woods and a few things happened:
A. We found a drunk guy in the middle of nowhere on some hills who literally looked as if he was dead
B. We got lost without even being that deep in the woods
C. Some kids were throwing stones at other kids (sure, at their bellies and legs, but still...)
D. Some kids left early before we went deep into the woods while others disappeared as they took of on their own and only hours later we heard from them - they decided to visit some meadows or go home without telling anybody, so it was pretty much "A is gone.... oh u say they went home? Okay sure I'll trust you"
And it wasn't even a big mountain or something, it was pretty tame
So.... yeah, you'd think so, but no haha
Horror Professors just be like that
Honestly, this video MORE THAN EVER makes me wish you did Video Games. Like seeing you talk about How To Beat Until Dawn without the limitations of the game would be great.
When you were elaborating about the eyes. It's straight up the old quote:
Eyes rarely go in pairs. Usually they are equipped with a hundred teeth, a dozen claws and a digestive tract. Exactly in that order
What's I've been told about Wendigos whether it be legends or stories told from my mom:
- Whistling at night attracts them
- Don't say Wendigo or say it's name out loud as it can attract them.
- If it sounds far away, it's close and vise versa.
- It can smell blood from miles away.
- It can mimic voices/screams.
Not sure how much of it checks out though, but I'm sure whistling at night is a huge superstition.
A lot of that also applies to skinwalkers. All I know is that one side of has some Native American and the other has some proper Irish. And both sides come with stories to stay out of the woods at night.
Yea its just that, a superstition, now granted i aint bout to be doin it at night in the forest lmfao, too tactically minded for that, wouldnt wanna give away my location, but at the same time i wouldnt be out there at apl without at least three guns, my 357, semi auto shotgun, and my lovely ak107, hell racking off the magnum like three times would make anyone or anythint stop and think for a moment hmmm is this guna hurt? And at least i can fight back, even if its pointless
@@themanwithnoname1839Where the hell did you get an AK-107? Assuming you live in the US, there's no way you were able to buy an AK-107 or the civilian version (SR-1) as I'm pretty sure Kalashnikov only made one production run because it was a huge commercial flop. Not to mention, it's a pain to get newer Russian rifles intended for military use (I mean fully built in Russia and shipped overseas. Excluding parts kits)
This channel taught me so much about how to deal with getting kidnapped and escape techniques. Many thanks.
Now the real difficult part is remembering it in those high stress situations, and then actually doing them.
“If you and your friends where on a field trip and found yourselves in the territory of, not one, not two, but three murderous cryptids, what would you do”
Honestly, at some point you gotta take it as a sign that, god doesn’t want you alive.😂😂😂😂
It’s like your content is getting better and better with each new vid, especially how you advertise your sponsors
2 things about the scene where the girl untied herself from the tree. First no don't untie yourself early while the man with a gun has it pointed at you yes wait for him to be distracted. Second when you are free yes run towards him aka the way you came to the clearing and not off in some random direction into the monster filled woods with no where to go.
Well untie yourself as soon as possible and pretend to still be bound, there's no benefit to remaining tied up. And she has no knowledge that there could be threats in any direction except the one she runs towards so unless she was going for the weapon or keys to the car ANY other direction puts where further from known danger.
A Wendigo was a supernatural evil spirit in first Nations mythology. The non-spirit form is mostly a modern take. Its main weapon was its ability to mind control its victims, make them commit cannibalism and, not shockingly, murder. As far as I know you could not defeat it only make it not come for you, as its mental powers kinda made a fight impossible. In some sense this movie got it pretty correct in portrayal.
I hate spirits
@Cr00k3d M@n Still need to go Emperor of Mankind on their butts, we shouldnt be bending over backwards cuz some malformed ghost fart is a bully.
@Sebastian of current thing is valid we need to tax them spirits! Living in our reality rent free! Reeee

@@CasualCasimir Pokémon go BRr
The absolute best choice of background music, I was even sad when you changed it for a short period. Actually makes these death games sound a lot more serious.
I thought I was only one
but kinda settled with it as change is inevitable
How to beat wendigo? Either show him a new ARG and run away while he's distracted or tell him to record a new volume of disturbing things found on the internet
Take my like you son of a gun
No my friend he's a wendiGOON
the wendigang has been defeated
Οr tell it that there's a giant nearby
I think you mean wendihoes
Only 3 minutes in and we've already got someone searching for danger without any plan for what to do if they actually find it. This is going to be good. Lmao
True like if your power randomly cuts out at night don't go out unarmed it is common for intruders to cut the power at your breaker and knock you tf out when you open the door
@@KA-zv3yt how common is that??
Idk where Wendigos originated from but holy shit. Seeing them in games and hearing about them in little horror stories these things are no joke. I'd rather deal with hordes of the undead then these things
You would have a way better chance to survive a zombie horde then a wendigo if they attacked you house zombies might not even be able to get in but if the wendigo is hungry and it definitely will be it will get in
Unlike a zombie a wendigo keeps its intelligence so yeah you're f*** either way
Cod zombies start
FETCH ME THEIR SOUL’S!
I remember it was a native American tale
Wendigo is native american spirit tale in origin. Most likely a primitive tale to keep people selfless and more useful collectively. Basicly someone being stuck and driven by primal hunger to cannibalism would possibly be not perceived as logical back then, rather as evil spirit possession.
"GOD DAMNIT" had me laughing, because I like when you explain supernatural videos more. Good shit
I don't know if it's just me or not, but I just love to watch "How to Beat" and "Movie Recap" videos. Idk where they came from, but I'm glad they did.
1:05 Whoever decides to go investigate or piss it off is now an official offering in my mind. I woulda just about faced and turned off all the lights after locking and barricading the doors. Nope nope and nope. I’ll leave at dawn.
“Nearby, jake steps in shit and falls beside a discount skellinton from spirit holloween”
That shit cracked me up so badly 😂😂
A general rule of thumb: Never go outside in unknown territory, be it forest or jungle. Lots of creepy crawlies come out at night to spin webs or generally hunt for food, and many of them can be considered dangerous to interact with. This place may not be Brazil, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous when going out at night.
It took place in upstate New York.
Once the Wendigos started hunting them they had no chance
Wendigos are too fast, too strong and too stealthy to avoid
Of course it depends on the Wendigos, every story they are in is different
It feels like you are more likely to find a RL Sasquatch or Wendigo than to find a smart camper/woodland traveler in a horror movie
I do appreciate that Chris, the one person being selfless, is the one to survive. Lilly may have waited for him, but probably only out of survivals sake and she already attempted to have them leave without a care about their friends. Marie cared more about having a necklace than report the body. Other white guy cared more about his own grades then doing the right thing. Rob cared more about his need to find big foot. And the professor showed his selfishness by making that trip in the first place.
At 27:43 since we know for a fact he attacks unprovoked the fact the bigfoot didn't reach forward and snap that mans neck like a twig is nothing shy of a miracle
It looks like he was a pet or something because the first time he saw the guy he didn’t kill him and he might have been protecting him from the night and when he roared Bigfoot came to his aid and fought for him
For a moment I thought it was "Until Dawn".
Same
@@crem-crem4070 Tho It would be cool if there were channels like this for videogames.
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 I was thinking the same but I’m not sure how viable it is
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 there probably is, just look on TH-cam.
That would have been better. Such an amazing game. The Quarry is pretty solid, but it's just not the same 😕
Bigfoot did tell them to leave.. I'd argue he wasn't an evil bigfoot..
Honestly, you are so much better than other TH-camrs (I am mainly comparing you to Cinema Summary because you two are the biggest ones). I never really understood how he overtook you, you post videos a lot more frequently I like your humor a lot more and you explain way better.
Hope you're doing well!
Plus Cinema Summary's voice is kinda irritating
Agreed. Cinema just doesn't do a good job with break downs or strategy
I mostly like Cinema Summary for the Japanese and Korean death game videos. Those are really interesting to me.
Nerd Explains used to post less frequently, so maybe that's why
Cinema Summary has probably the worst “How to Beat” videos imo. Especially with “Spontaneous” which is him just speculating entire video and retelling plot. Nerd Explains at least offers way to solve stuff and in the end of the video has very good summing up of the video.
7:19 the .577NE would still be around 12 to 14lbs
The thinking man's option is the long action AR10 chambered in 375 or 416 Ruger for a better blend of dangerous game stopping power and maneuverability as unlike the Nitro express the 375 ruger is designed around an 18 inch barrel
Or a .458 Socom which would allow a shorter barrel
27:46 something about a Bigfoot knowing how to do a neck snap is making me giggle so much for some reason.

Is it just me or does anyone miss nerd explains old background music? I feel like that music made him more unique compared to other channels
No thoughts, head empty, only three cryptids fighting each other
Oddly enough, that add read was probably the most convincing read I’ve come across. I’m not going to buy any form of powder I put in water, but you had me thinking about it
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is a black man camping, finding a dead body and not immediately wanting to go home, then seeing a chick be possessed and not nope tf outta there instantly 😂
considering at the start they can quite literally see the antlers its either a deer in which case theirs no reason to track it down since its not anything important or a moose which you dont want to track down because it is dangerous
Damn that moments when you've watched every nerd explains video and you think you've found a new one you missed. Only to remember within 5 seconds you've watched this one:(
14:21 POV: You failed the quick time event (QTE) in the Quarry in the last scene as Laura lol-
Tbf tho this movie might be interesting if it becomes interactive games
I like that they actually look like Wendigos rather than the wechuge you see them so often confused with. Wechuge being the one with antlers and glowing eyes.
I mean, I think dying in the phase of planning your attack gets you into Valhalla. Sure, you're not in combat, but as long as you die with your weapon in hand as you make decisions to do a god's work, I think that counts. May Odin himself comment if I'm wrong on this.

Kick to the groin is not a great opener, especially when ultra-close quarters.
With his head pointed down like that, pull your head back as far as you can and push of the hard surface behind you and headbutt him straight in the bridge of the nose, it should break, even if it doesn't his eyes will water and his head will reflexively pull back. Bounce back and push again off the tree to build momentum and drive your knee as deep into his groin as you can get, visualize pulling your knee up to your chest. Once he goes down stomp his face until breath comes out in a horrible gurgle.
If he covers his face stomp on his hands, crush his fingers underfoot keep stomping to the tempo of "The Only Thing They Fear is You" and scream and rage while you do it, gets the adrenaline pumping. Remember the only thing they fear should be you, the object here is not just to hurt them, it is to break them, physically and mentally.
If anyone thinks I sound psychotic remember I am describing a life and death situation that you have a less than 20% chance of survive even if you are physically superior. The objective is to live, a side benefit is that they will never ever do this to anyone again, that means the attacker must be destroyed or at least crippled, if someone tried to kidnap me I'd want him to see me in his nightmares or nothing at all forever.
Stomp the chest if you can. A heel to the solar plexus will be lethal.
The only thing i doubt is that he won't step away when you his nose
holy fuck i think the knee kick to the groin is enough. My younger brother knee kicked me in the stomach and hes only 14 and it took me a whole 30 seconds to recover i cant imagine that to the groin region.
@@schoolstories2427 The problem is an experienced killer will likely expect a blow to the groin, it 's too obvious and too defensible.
Trust me if I drive the hardest part of my skull into the soft cartilage of your nose, it will take hours to see clearly again.
@@hahafunnyname if he does then knee to the balls becomes a full extension kick
That sponsor segment transition was honestly pretty funny
Finally, someone tells it like it is on that Wolves are not scary predators.
Never thought I'd see the day that Nerd Explains calls me a "Gullible lil' sailor"
She looks back to see he's be replaced by the band member from KISS.
Just laughing my ass off! Absolutely sublime!
A horror movie with a final boy? And not a final girl? Revolutionary!
This is the only movie where Nerd Explains would not have to worry about surviving. The spirit of the Forest would be bowing down for him as he's the Alpha when it comes to Cannibalism.
If you are greedy I will corrupt your soul!
I will gladly kill and eat all my friends if it keeps me alive.

I think if Lilly had warned them about everret and made noise in the bathroom to prevent getting taken and they had the gun and barricaded one room instead of the whole house they could survive till morning between the 4 of them.
This is possibly the best Ad break I have ever witnessed in any youtube video ever. Good job, I am not getting the free sample because I am not fast enough of course. But maybe the 10% will come in handy.
I loved this movie when I watched it, I thought it was a fun story and it had some real spooky timing, and the ending music was real good too.
That ad read was beautiful. I'm noticing a few creators are getting to be more entertaining with their reads, and I think it honestly works. Think I'm gonna try it if it ships to the UK...
Your delivery is so entertaining. Watch from start to finish. Didn't even skip the sponsorship ads. Your Inception must be working.
I haven't seen the movie but from the description, my theory is that Bigfoot was a poor soul possessed by the spirit of flesh but fought off the infection to keep some of his sanity to become a sort of Anti-hero
Tonight, I hope your blanket feels so cozy that you feel embraced by it as you tuck yourself in, that you feel so comfortable and at ease in your bed that you sleep with not one worry in your mind and no nightmares through the night. Wishing you the most beautiful dreams and that you wake up feeling completely rested so you can have a good day. You are so brave for taking care of yourself, resting and for facing each day. Remember that.

Thanks bro, goodnight
U too 😶
That's the best-written ad I've ever heard on this site and if I had money, I'd do it just for that. The whole thing was a ride I could imagine in my head like I was listening to an audiobook.
Nah, the world's dimmest bathroom is the one I used in Arizona at an rental. It had wiring to above the vanity, no overheads, and there was a halfway wall that blocked that light from going into the shower. The area to pass to the toilet was probably about 2 feet wide, just a little more than my shoulder width on each side, meaning it was all reflective light at a weaker amount to reach the shower. If I had to guess, if overhead lighting for a shower is 100% power, this would be like 25%, shit was dark enough you could fall asleep in the tub (I did that)
ALSO,one of the cryptids at the start had a clear antler part of it’s head in the dark,it has a slight light on it showing the antlers,if it’s massive and has antlers just stay inside
Another also,how does a cryptozoologist not know wendigo can imitate a human’s voice to trick people,my god
I care not if I’m shouting into a void, I must request: please do green room!!!!! The scenario is perfect!
Hey Im from upstate NY. Glad to see something besides NYC being shown. Also my parent grew up in the town where a quiet place was filmed, so do with that info what you will.
I’m a minute and a half in and they see eyes in the dark that are kinda high up and something big enough to knock over trash cans… and don’t immediately lock themselves in out of fear of the probably bear outside?
Edit: 3 minutes in and I am shown to be correct in my guess that bear eyes shine like that.
Sig Sauer p320 compact .45 acp w/ Hogue combat grip sleeve, glow-in-dark sights(homemade 😉), two 9 round mags and Hornady .45acp+P 220gr jhp ammo. Not my only firearm, but my go-to gun when I go camping/hiking/property line patrol.
Dayum, after seeing big foot going against a horde of Wendigos in this scenes I might just watch the actual movie lol
I love how in this both bigfoot and wendigos exist and bigfoot terrifies them
Who in the heck would go take a closer look on shining eyes in the dark?Even todlers would run back inside crying
Honestly if I was out in the woods where both Bigfoot and wendigos are believed to be inhabited I'd choose the massive 2 bore double barrel shotgun over a hunting rifle with a scope since it could probably kill either one or at the very least wound them badly enough to force them into retreating and leave me alone long enough to get the hell out of there safely

This channel is P R O D U C I N G videos. Like a lot of them. I can only say that I appreciate.
ngl that was the best energy drink add i've ever seen
wouldnt the "spirit of the flesh" and the wendigo's technically count as 1 cryptid (since 1 causes the other)
Big Foot is one, the spirit is one, and the turned humans are another. When I watched the movie, I didn't even consider the turned people true wendigos. Just minions of the wendigo.
you're the best how to survive channel man. your narration is so good 😂😂😂😂
I would love to see more cryptid related stuff... I think they are really cool personally 🤷
Either just not go or go in with enough firepower to level the entire forest. Dragon's breath rounds out of a shotgun would be a good weapon to bring with you along with an AR 15 or AK 47 and at least 8 magazines with something like an EOTech so you don't restrict your field of vision too much
I'm here still waiting for Hannibal to become the first urban Wendigo
Ahh so excited for a how to beat wrong turn!! And thanks for the gamer supps rec! Love your vids!!!!
New movie idea: a person finishes watching all NerdExplain’s videos and ends up in a deadly trap that incorporates the knowledge learned from the videos
I live in Upstate NY. We also have, unofficially, mountain lions here. Yeah I know the state says we don't, but we do.
If you go into the woods here, at night, especially, without *some* sort of weapon, ideally a firearm, you are more or less asking for problems. Coyotes will stalk and attack people, and while Black Bears are *usually* harmless, they're still wild animals and thus unpredictable. We get foxes with rabies an awful lot, which are incredibly aggressive, and as you pointed out: Moose.
The people in this movie are dumber than a rock to go anywhere near rural upstate NY forests without some kind of firearm, and deserve to be eaten by bigfoot for it!
I wonder what the cryptids in that forest would do if one of them had the world's brightest flashlight.
I love how the wendigo,reality manipulating cannibal demons have to try and hunt while they,most often seen as the apex predator,have a stronger enemy they can't really kill or possess,the sasquatch
For anyone confused why a bear is better to run into than a moose just remember that moose are as tall as a bus and as long as a car. An animal that weighs that much with the horns they have could absolutely annihilate you (honestly wendigos would get destroyed by a moose and big foot wouldn't get off so easy either.)
That's just in the forest, hippos and rhinos are much heavier and scarier (not to mention things like great whites or orcas.)
Hell a whale could accidentally turn you into jely just by speaking so we can lump them on this list.
If you think about it we don't really need supernatural creatures because the real world is already super scary and full of things constantly ready to kill us.
a bear is also a predator that doesnt want to put too much energy in so you can back away and it would leave you alone a moose would still come after you
1:16 this is how you know he has never lived near/in a forest before
