Your points are completely valid and most importantly, you nailed it in that you have to just allow the movie to unfold without your expectations. There are these shots that take the viewer out of their comfort zone of crossing a line I think of bad judgment, time and again. It all started with her walking into the house after being invited in and the point of no return is when she goes back into the basement to go after Skarsgard. It’s almost like the director was taunting us by saying “I know what you think everyone would do but tough sh*t, this is all going to go very badly”. And when you accept that, it kind of just leaves all logic by the wayside for the rest of the film. For me, I drew the most enjoyment from the tension is not knowing what’s around the next corner in the dark and every time it was worse than I expected. It was just like a slow walk through a really horrifying haunted house. Shoutout to Justin Long, when he was measuring the tunnels to see how much extra square footage he could get for the sale of his house, I was dying laughing. He was such a POS but so shameless and funny LMFAOOOOO
30:15 - I didn't notice there was an extra door in my bathroom (opening up to the hot water tank) until I had lived at my house for several months. It happened to look like a wall, and then one day it just popped open.
You guys make some great points 'cause that's how I felt about a lot of it as well. Oh and Keith's character insisting on going into the basement, made me think "oh, he's luring her back in, or at least that's the subverted expectation the director wants you to think". The cops scene made me shake my head (fuuuuuck!). Also, the homeless guy making the statement, "she's (the mother) just the beginning, there's worse things out there or involved" or whatever the line was,. Unless he was referring to Frank's character, I was hoping for more inbred "kids" or something like that. I feel a missed opportunity was there at the very end, when she was walking away from the "lady" and AJ before the end credits on that dark street. All those other houses or vacant lots in the darkness could have had little glowing or reflected eyes and the sounds of little kids voices/laughter or mutant baby cries and then she knows she's in deep shit and you see her scared expression and the scene cuts to black then. Great video as always guys.
I think he said that line meaning her fucked up dad and all those memories/videos and since the homeless guy had never been down there personally it seems he may have just been based off what he's seen from outside
Hello Jason and Kali. I have stumbled upon another "He Said, She Said" debate. (Perhaps this happens more often on the channel than I initially realized. ) Kali, I dig your capacity for empathy. Also, like you, I was able to watch "Barbarian" without any lapses in logic throwing me out of the story. (It's possible the twists distracted me.) Jason, the first time I encountered the term "suspension of disbelief" was watching the movie, "Basic Instinct," a hundred years ago. On the way to the police station (as well as the infamous interrogation scene) Catharine Tramell explains the idea to the detectives. I wouldn't refute your observations. in fact, your attention to detail reminds me of one of my mentors in graduate school. Anytime any of us fiction writers put a story through the workshop for critique, he often focused on logic and logistics. In retrospect, I'm grateful for his attention to detail, and I think fiction writers (screen writers, too) should, at the very least, know when they are asking readers to suspend their disbelief, and to what degree, then ask themselves if doing so is worth the risk of losing and/or insulting readers/audiences.
I saved your review till I watched it and I finally saw it at the theater today! I very much enjoyed it! I didn’t think it was as scary as I hard but had some good jump scares and just tense overall. Very good! Enjoyed the leads!
My issues are: the double booking of the house was what just a ploy to get 2 ppl in the same house and build suspense and misdirection? How and why was never explained. Also the doors closing on their own. I was thinking oh maybe a ghost or demon. I guess she can close doors from way under the house? Also Tess likely wouldn't have been able to get up and walk away after a fall like that. I think the dad kidnapping women would have made for a more interesting movie, that sequence was great but we had to get dialogue to further explain it. They could have shown it
Thank you! Thats what I thought as well! When Justin Long's character called the people in charge when he saw all of the two characters stuff around, in the house and the lady said NO ONE HAS booked the place for weeks... I thought, hmmmmmm wonder what that means and I thought it would be revealed LATER. I thought maybe they were in on it, sending people to be sacrificed, SOMETHING.... But nope! Yes superhuman inbreds with prosthetic tits was just... not it.
It’s said, and SHOWN that the woman thing comes upstairs and out at night. She was obviously sneaking around trying to find her new baby, opening doors, etc. The basement door is at an incline and operated on real life physics lol. Not a demon.
I saw this today. I had only seen 1 spoiler free review before watching and that got me so hype to see this. I ended up thinking the movie was ok. It was nowhere near as good as I expected but it I left thinking it was fine. Having watched your spoiler review, I like it less lmao. 😆 You made great points.
I ended up finishing your whole video- I totally see where Jason is coming from, but I relate to Kali about not over-thinking. I was also going nuts at the moment Jason was so bugged by w the girl, but by the end it tied together enough and I let go of it and enjoyed. Then again, I loved the movie Us which can drive me nuts if I apply logic to it.
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 oh absolutely! To me I liken Us to an art piece that I admire but doesn’t make sense. I just gave up logic and went along with it and loved it. Empty Man is a movie that makes more sense, but it hurts my brain when I try to figure it out fully, and LOVE that movie. I also like Malignant- but all logic gets thrown out the window with that one.
@ 29:09, Given the director, I'm pretty sure all of the laughs are intentional.. I would compare the tone to Malignant. Technically, yes, it's horror. But it's campy.
I didn’t watch any trailers,so I got the “From Dusk till Dawn” way of seeing it. Where you think it’s going one way,then all the sudden things change. That was pretty cool! Second time watching wasn’t as fun!
I was planning to see this today! Ya know . . . so much shiznit is coming out the next two months. I’m especially curious about Jeepers Creepers 4 though on the 16th over here. Someone already gave it one star, WTF 😳
Jason, your review is very refreshing for me. Out of the mountain of hype, I left this movie feeling it was very mediocre and I thought the script was terrible. The third act was piss poor to me. It's not the worst thing, but out of 10? I'd give it maybe a 5.
I watched this last night. I had so many questions as the “WHY” but just went with it and it was fine I think this movie will be very frustrating to watch a second time. I think I would rather go back and watch “MALIGNENT” and just enjoy the ride!
I remember the night this was released. Was trying to decide which movie to go see, and as soon as I saw this was directed by one of The Whitest Kids U' Know, my interest was peaked.
I was really into it until Keith died. Tess and Keith were so likable - I honestly could’ve watched a whole movie with just the two of them. After Keith’s death, the story lost some of its charm. The double booking of the Airbnb was odd and never explained, and it felt strange that the monster didn’t go after Keith and Tess sooner. Although it was still a decent one-time watch, there were definitely a few plot holes that took away from the overall experience.
Best spoiler explanation video I've watched, because you both were able to help me see both sides of the divide while others influence you to be either totally for or against the film. My interpretation of the bad decisions the characters were making is that it's supposed to have an affect on the audience that sparks conversation and debate about whether you approach fear and bad situations with logic or intuition or through selfishness or selflessness; and the social commentary is that men will be more logical and selfish, while women will be more intuition and selfless. But aside from that i thought you both had valid points. I liked your commentary on the baby bottle/breast feeding scene. In my opinion, that was the most the most effective scene because the idea should be dumb and silly, and had it been put in the context of a real B-movie horror flick, then it would be just stupid and over-the-top. But Georgina and Justin's straight acting in the scene made it believable that it's supposed to be scary and uncomfortable rather than funny and campy.
I mean that’s not a plot hole. She just preferred them over him. A plot hole is something that cannot be explained. This is just a character decision which is never a plot hole
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Right, thanks for discussing the issue I commented about and not just telling me I used the wrong phrase to describe said issue. 🙄
@@CharlieD.706 because Tess explains when Justin Longs character comes down there, that freaking out or being upset upsets her as well. So maybe Keith had upset her in some way, or maybe she just feels connected to a feminine energy. But yeah I think it was mainly bc Tess let her do her thing instead of fighting it.
I loved this movie, but I loved way much more how frustrated and annoyed Jason was by all the numerous problems with the logic of the film in this video. Doesn't diminish my enjoyment, but yeah, that makes chunks of the movie fall apart, which also bothered me when I was watching it. Also love that you liked it in spite of all those dumb things. So glad I discovered your channel, late or not, but I love both of your takes and I feel like I get to nerd out with some cool people I wouldn't otherwise get to. This movie is a great example of incredibly competent misdirection and really great style. 7/10 and 4/10 simultaneously. Additionally, I loved it in the moment. But I feel your problems with it.
I loved this movie! It’s so bizarre and freaky and hilarious. It wasn’t so messed up that you felt cold and sad but it made me laugh wicked hard. I laughed as much as I did when I caught Killer Joe in the cinema 10 years ago. Not perfect but quite original and clever film.
When I watch movies, I try to not think of it being written. I watch them with the mindset of “what is shown is what happened”… no matter how irrational something may seem. I personally enjoy movies more after adapting this mindset.
Glad I’m not the only one that thought Barbarian was just ok. Everything was either way too convenient to get to the action and not enough originality imo. Ppl are loving it though and I don’t understand why
I LOVED this movie! (Spoilers) Yes, that girl made ridiculous choices that most women never would but I totally overlooked it. Also, the homeless guy knowing things was stupid. The guy getting his arm ripped off and getting beaten with it, after the creature bust through a wall, made me laugh out loud. The police thing, I just assumed she just didn't think about calling the police because she was a woman of color. Look at that one guy of color who went to the police only to get returned to Dahmer.
You have one of the best takes on this subject/movie. Every horror movie is contrived...but this movie takes it too far too many times. Everything that propels the plot is a contrivance. The movie was entertaining because of the acting and sometimes yelling at the movie is a genre unto itself. However, it would have been nice to see the same movie... with the intelligence turned way up and clever happenings driving them deeper into trouble. Or if the movie had the courage to hypothesize an ending with AJ actually being a victim of hearsay. (Because that happens sometimes too)
the main lead literallly went thourhg a moment of distrusting someone to seeing them get there head bashed in so maybe this complete new stranger who she knows nothing about or his history in her eyes may seem nice enough to want to help ....like doesn't seem too unbelievable ...
the way i looked at it im prob wrong wen the the girl had her interview and the other lady seem like shocked she was stayin at the house. n was not scared or worried to me it seem like the two cops know something too bout the area she stayed in an they didn’t wanna even bother looking into it when they met up with the girl at the house i’m prob wrong tho just how i saw it in the first watching
Yeah, my thing with the movie was how does the house go from the original owner to the douche bag guy. Why would anyone stay in a house in that neighborhood that looks out of place, 5 thousand red flags. Totally agree, I couldn't understand any of her decisions.
Those tunnel scenes 👌frickin A+. My favorite part. That and the score. Tess’s decisions were ridiculous..she could’ve left soooo many times. I liked this movie because it threw curveballs every time I thought I had it figured out, and it built up tension well. I’d be curious if they’ll do a prequel with Richard Brakw’s character. You’re right though, a lot of logic has to be ignored here.
I thought this movie was WAY over hyped. The movie, while it did take its twists and turns, the reveal was nothing new. I loved the first tense 30 min but after the tone shift it lost me. I just really really dislike that almost every horror review is saying how bat shit crazy this movie is…it’s not.
You've covered basically all of my issues with the film dude! Lol I also was expecting to see other deformed people through out the basement just popping up and terrorizing the characters. Especially when they homeless guy mentioned that she wasn't the worst thing down there. I was hoping it would have the same kind of affect as the 2008 film Quarantine . Where as the viewer you felt exhausted by the end of the film because you felt like you were beside the characters the whole time on a roller coaster ride. The fact that Georgina was able to escape more than once and then returns was ridiculous to me.
Just watched this last night and thought it was good, but, definitely did not live up to the hype. As far as the double booking it appears that the owner’s property manager had the house listed with multiple rental services which each one of them had secured the rental from. The homeless guy said he had lived there for 15 years so it would be possible that he had seen the rapist/kidnapper bringing victims into the house or recapturing some who had escaped. A lot of times there are multiple people in an area that know bad things are happening, but, will say nothing because they don’t want to get involved or don’t think they will be believed.
just watched the movie and came to see what you thought. agreed with you on every point. i'd also add that there was a bunch of 2020s hollywood politics that A) repeatedly pulled me out of the film and B) made basically all the "twists" pretty predictable. i did love the camerawork throughout, especially in the 1980s(?) flashback sequence. so at least it was visually enjoyable to watch. and the premise was cool. but man the writing was pretty awful.
I missed what the future of the channel is are you quitting, I hope not but I have seen a lot of "the future of the channel" vids lately I think people are getting burned out by the constant censorship and battling the algorithym Jay I been watching for 5-6 yrs hope you guys keep going
I appreciate this take. I loved the first 30 minutes but when you discovered what’s happening.. the “thing” was extremely silly and just.. sad. It lost all that sweet tension from the first 30 minutes where the ideas in my head were way scarier than what they revealed. It’s a 6/10 for me
Why the hell does the homeless dude knowing about the family hurt you so bad? Him knowing is Irrelevant doesn't matter. He said he's been in the area for 15 years. So maybe he had news papers or something
I’m totally on board with u man about the things that I just couldn’t overlook in this one! The cops, the fact she doesn’t call ANYONE before going into the tunnel after Bill Skarsgard’s character, her being shot then falling off the building and walking away/ surviving at the end, and the fact that this homeless dude knew everything about the momster but she’s just been living there killing for years! There’s just too many things that r so outrageous as much as I wanted to like it I just really didn’t enjoy this movie overall
Just got back from the cinema. Instant thoughts are that in general I liked it. Really liked that atmosphere and tension in places. The performances were really good I thought. I just didn't love it.
Liked it. Didn't love it. I'd give it a 3/5. Solid, but not exceptional. I've dug Georgia Campbell ever since seeing her in Hang the DJ from Black Mirror. Good to see her in a leading role.
I just got through seeing it and I'm glad the lead actress survived all that. She was beautiful too. Justin Long's character had hope for redemption and even convinced me momentarily he changed or didn't commit anything, smh. My mom always said if you can cheat you can do anything else. Well, if you can assault someone sexually you more than likely will be okay with THAT. Lowkey okay with him being eye gouged then torn apart. I wonder what's crappier. Being hallowed out for your eyes like a cutout celebrity on display or that.
Oh and how the homeless guy said there's way worse down there. The movie straight up lied to us there. They easily could have had other inbreds down there and made it so much better besides just the one woman. Noone mentions this
I'm still trying to figure out how doors were opening and closing by themselves. Nothing about the plot of this movie is supernatural or paranormal. Needless to say I didn't enjoy this film.
Do it. I doubt you’d get past page 3. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to write a screenplay? You talk like it’s as easy as whipping up a side of spaghetti.
@@DCToonTime I’m entitled to my opinion. You can puff out your chest all you want big guy. Everybody’s talking about how all the TH-camrs completely overhyped that movie. It’s not just me saying it. Get over yourself
@@drumr72 You’re free not to like the film. I was addressing the comment that you think you could write something more original or creative. Why haven’t we already seen your brilliance up on the silver screen? Continue to live in your own personal clown world, loser. You couldn’t write a viable, let alone original and creative, 100 page script if someone spotted you the first 99 pages.
I know people are going to have a problem with the cops especially if you don't keep up with the news. If you do keep up with the news and know of things like the cops ignore the serial killer, cops bringing victims to serial killers, cops that mistakenly shot the kidnap victim and others cases like that then you might think the cops in this movie weren't dumb enough.
Jason dismissing or overlooking the fact that it's set in one of the worst areas of Detroit is a big reason he didn't understand most of the film. If you have any idea how bad parts of Detroit are, a lot of things make more sense.
It's sort of silly how much "reality" people force on horror movies but will watch Indiana Jones and believe they can use a bull whip just as easily lol
It’s always how the material is presented. People think horror is just some throwaway genre that is filled with moronic characters but that isn’t true at all. Especially nowadays. Writers have learned how to make characters smart but just making the villains or situations just a little smarter. The decisions in this film are very questionable, and it can take you out of the moment. If it didn’t for you that’s fine but it did me.
Good marketing is really where it's at. Look at Black Phone. So much hype created before release. And it turned out to be a mediocre film. Same here. So much hype talking about how amazing and unique this film is before release. But once again, it just turns out to be a film about something that's been done to some degree by other films. SPOILER: I honestly thought this was gonna be more than just another in the long line of mutant inbred killer movies. That's it? Seriously? I thought this genre ran out of steam a while ago. The sad things is, all of them will never shock the audience as much as an episode of X-Files. Home did it better than anybody has since. Yawn. People are so desperate for good horror movies that they'll hype a tired idea just because of the people involved.
When i heard about the hype about this movie i just wanted to watch it asap and then i watched your review, because it is here that i find the best reviews and we share the same taste. I thought f*** so it won't be this one. And it's not. As you said Jason, many moments got me out of the movie because i couldn't buy them especially when the homeless man knocked on the windows like a crazy man instead of just knocking at the door and tell them to leave. i didn't understand why bill Skasgard spent so much time in the basement "visiting it" when he said 30 seconds only while Tess was waiting for just one thing : getting out of that house. And then there were those scenes with the cops that pissed me out. But then i thought : it's in America. I do think, like Kalee, that the filmmaker wanted to point out racism : a black girl in a creepy neighborhood, dirty and looking like a hysterical woman is a drug addict/ an old homeless black man is seen as the same and he knows that the police wouldn't care about what he would tell them. They would think he's crazy, and drunk. I was like you, and the i thought "it is in America, it is possible with black people" (sorry, i don't want to hurt any Americans, but that's what we think in Europe about black people condition). As Kalee, the thing which has saved the movie for me, was the "women condition" subtext. Kalee is really so sensitive and smart (she should be a psychologist, please tell her jason, i'm going to be one too), this review is a gem to point out the both point of views about this film.
I loved the first half, with the major The Descent vibes and a good amount of red herring tension . . . . . . She could have just asked the cop to run the plates on her car and dispatch would confirm the identity that she was telling him. And if it was a rental, she would know it was registered to Avis or Alamo or whatever. Everyone in this movie was a bonehead, lol. Like, if the homeless dude is trying to be benevolent, why run at her screaming "HEY LITTLE GIRL!" And why is AJ even buying a rental property in skid row? Also, I did not need to see the whole flashback scene with the old homeowner. We could have been given the backstory by evidence in the basement, exposition from homeless dude or cop, the main character googling the property, etc. Having one major narrative/tonal shift was enough. We didn't need another one that really just told us stuff that the audience would have been better off piecing together. As for her going back to the basement to rescue Keith, I agree, but I think they were just trying to drive home the central theme of gender dynamics/differences that the two main characters discussed, specifically with how they react to scenarios
People always make fun of horror movies because the characters make stupid decisions. You would think that the film maker would have learned from them. I just couldn't take the movie seriously because every single character in the movie, including the villain, acts in ways that are not consistent or logical. Why did the old guy shoot himself?
Thanks for the breakdown. I was tired of people telling me to go in spoiler free when the trailer I saw told me NOTHING about what to expect in this movie. Now I am perfectly happy to wait and watch it at home. Meh.
Tunnel movies. The big thing with them for me is...they represent a cop out. The amount of work it would take to dig fucking tunnels like that would be absurd, someone would notice, it would be reported, end of story. The odd crack head or homeless person reporting it would be one thing, but the number of reports would not be something the police could ignore. Someone outside the neighbourhood would have heard about it too like, there'd be urban legends and shit about fuckin little Jimmy who went in there on a dare when no one was home and was never seen again, shit like that. And why would the tunnels have been there already, what was it built on top of ground that was used as a shelter or an asylum or something? The worst film for that for me is Law Abiding Citizen - no one noticed he had tunnels literally everywhere?! That being said, I haven't seen this movie so I don't know what the tone is, I just think "oh they had tunnels" is a bit like "oh its aliens" or "oh its a bunch of rednecks". Yeah, but where are the solutions to the problems that they would have - how would they explain the machinery doing the tunnelling, or at least the noise if they were doing it by hand, and where would they be putting the stuff they dug out?! Plus, are these people structural engineers that know exactly how to dig a fuckin tunnel that's not gonna cave in and kill them all? The amount of work that I think you have to do to justify a tunnel in a house in a movie? Forget about it. Which is a shame, the trailer looked interesting - didn't expect it to be Citizen Kane, but it looked like it could have been something in the vein of Don't Breathe or something like that. Sounds like wasted potential to me.
As someone whose also seen just about every horror movie since at least the turn of the millennium- I agree that this was a bit overhyped which I HATE because then I go into it with high expectations even when I try my hardest not to, and I inevitably end up being let down. I do oddly love most of internet driven horror lately (AirBnB can be enough - especially after Superhost) and I’m pretty good at suspending my disbelief but there were still those few moments where I was yelling at the TV. And I get it - it’s a commentary on gender roles to an extent and all that - but I still got annoyed at points, particularly by a couple of Tess’s decisions. And since you kinda mentioned it - I have a somewhat irrelevant question. I was wondering what ‘gross out’ horror movies you’d recommend if you have a sec since you’re both gore aficionados. Plus everytime I look up a movie after watching it for others’ thoughts, which I always do, you and Fish Jelly are the two channels that ALWAYS come up - so I know we have similar tastes and knowledge. The gore factor isn’t something that I really pay much attention to, and while my sister is patiently waiting for Terrifier 2, she’s on the hunt for a movie so gross that she’ll faint 🤷♀️. All I could think of were the Human Centipedes and like.. Cannibal Holocaust (nothing rapey though). I trust your opinion so I was just hoping to get a couple recs from you if possible. Thanks for always taking the time to make videos about nearly every horror movie - especially the more obscure and underrated and under-seen - even when I do disagree with your opinion from time to time 🫠✌️
When she went into the secret room in the basement I leaned over to my husband & said "this must have been written by a white man." Sure enough, I was right 😂
I waited to watch this review since everyone said to avoid spoilers. Now I’ve seen it, and I’m conflicted. Because it feels like the movie is intentionally trying to be a pretty cynical horror-comedy. And this movie did get some great laughs in my theater. But my god, any thoughts beyond the surface absolutely shatter this movies script. To add to your list of dumb, if that neighborhood is notoriously bad, and nobody wants to be there, how the hell did it ever get double booked? Double bookings happen, but they happen because there’s multiple requests at the same time. This place had 2 single requests in 3 weeks, did they order it at the exact same second or something? And the homeless man said to leave because she comes out at night, which means she isn’t staying down in the tunnels all the time. What the hell is she doing at night normally before our main character arrived? And what is the “worse things” he mentioned?
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Perhaps he’s a relative or offspring who was taught to lure women further into the caverns. I don’t understand why he would want to stay down there injured when he’s found an opportunity to escape from an unknown threat. I wish they added more reasoning to the script for his motives.
Spoiler! Okay so it was Justin Long's house. And I assume everything in the basement was his. So how does he not notice the f****** rope hanging out of the wall
The movie kinda addressed this. The company he calls is handling all the houses’ business, he just owns the property. So he’s not actually aware of what the house looks like. It doesn’t explain how the house can be renovated and rented out when a giant killer inbred comes out every night to grab some “babies.”
Seconded on all points, plus HOW THE HELL WAS THE "MOTHER" SO SUPERHUMANLY STRONG AND TOUGH? Inbreeding doesn't do that, as far as I've been lead to believe.
Very disappointed in this movie. My wife and I love horror movies but we both found this one to be dumb and way overrated. I was so looking forward to this movie, and what a disappointment. It started of good but went down hill fast.
I need a early screening of terrifier 2! Hook it up jason! Thanks @Cody Leach loved it, (barbarian) but didnt like terrifier because he thought that was over hyped!!! Lol. What a tool. IMO.
In the movie, the men were all a bit dismissive towards the main female character. It’s funny how the male reviewer, here, is dismissive towards the female one. Let her talk, and share her point of view and opinions. Sorry, I just had to stop watching.
Your points are completely valid and most importantly, you nailed it in that you have to just allow the movie to unfold without your expectations. There are these shots that take the viewer out of their comfort zone of crossing a line I think of bad judgment, time and again. It all started with her walking into the house after being invited in and the point of no return is when she goes back into the basement to go after Skarsgard. It’s almost like the director was taunting us by saying “I know what you think everyone would do but tough sh*t, this is all going to go very badly”. And when you accept that, it kind of just leaves all logic by the wayside for the rest of the film. For me, I drew the most enjoyment from the tension is not knowing what’s around the next corner in the dark and every time it was worse than I expected. It was just like a slow walk through a really horrifying haunted house. Shoutout to Justin Long, when he was measuring the tunnels to see how much extra square footage he could get for the sale of his house, I was dying laughing. He was such a POS but so shameless and funny LMFAOOOOO
He’s definitely hilarious
this is my favorite horror film of last year.
30:15 - I didn't notice there was an extra door in my bathroom (opening up to the hot water tank) until I had lived at my house for several months. It happened to look like a wall, and then one day it just popped open.
That’s wild
But did it have a big rope coming out of the wall to pull and open the door?
You guys make some great points 'cause that's how I felt about a lot of it as well. Oh and Keith's character insisting on going into the basement, made me think "oh, he's luring her back in, or at least that's the subverted expectation the director wants you to think". The cops scene made me shake my head (fuuuuuck!). Also, the homeless guy making the statement, "she's (the mother) just the beginning, there's worse things out there or involved" or whatever the line was,. Unless he was referring to Frank's character, I was hoping for more inbred "kids" or something like that. I feel a missed opportunity was there at the very end, when she was walking away from the "lady" and AJ before the end credits on that dark street. All those other houses or vacant lots in the darkness could have had little glowing or reflected eyes and the sounds of little kids voices/laughter or mutant baby cries and then she knows she's in deep shit and you see her scared expression and the scene cuts to black then. Great video as always guys.
I really am bummed I forgot to mention the worse things line
Good point. I thought too, “oh shit, her big brother is down there and he’s gonna fuck them up!” Naw, just the old dude. I still loved the film tho
I think he said that line meaning her fucked up dad and all those memories/videos and since the homeless guy had never been down there personally it seems he may have just been based off what he's seen from outside
Hello Jason and Kali. I have stumbled upon another "He Said, She Said" debate. (Perhaps this happens more often on the channel than I initially realized. ) Kali, I dig your capacity for empathy. Also, like you, I was able to watch "Barbarian" without any lapses in logic throwing me out of the story. (It's possible the twists distracted me.) Jason, the first time I encountered the term "suspension of disbelief" was watching the movie, "Basic Instinct," a hundred years ago. On the way to the police station (as well as the infamous interrogation scene) Catharine Tramell explains the idea to the detectives. I wouldn't refute your observations. in fact, your attention to detail reminds me of one of my mentors in graduate school. Anytime any of us fiction writers put a story through the workshop for critique, he often focused on logic and logistics. In retrospect, I'm grateful for his attention to detail, and I think fiction writers (screen writers, too) should, at the very least, know when they are asking readers to suspend their disbelief, and to what degree, then ask themselves if doing so is worth the risk of losing and/or insulting readers/audiences.
It’s a tough balance. An audience will suspend disbelief to a degree but only so far
Detroit police ain’t showing up until the next day but yea those cops were some horror movie cops
They sure were haha
I saved your review till I watched it and I finally saw it at the theater today! I very much enjoyed it! I didn’t think it was as scary as I hard but had some good jump scares and just tense overall. Very good! Enjoyed the leads!
It’s enjoyable for sure
Who was Markus and why was Tess declining his calls at the beginning of the movie?
Ex boyfriend I think
Hey! You guys could do some easy adjusting of sound levels so that I don't have to turn down the speakers when this guy starts screaming 😊
😱
How do they get air down there?
She goes out at night and opens the door
My issues are: the double booking of the house was what just a ploy to get 2 ppl in the same house and build suspense and misdirection? How and why was never explained. Also the doors closing on their own. I was thinking oh maybe a ghost or demon. I guess she can close doors from way under the house? Also Tess likely wouldn't have been able to get up and walk away after a fall like that. I think the dad kidnapping women would have made for a more interesting movie, that sequence was great but we had to get dialogue to further explain it. They could have shown it
Thank you! Thats what I thought as well! When Justin Long's character called the people in charge when he saw all of the two characters stuff around, in the house and the lady said NO ONE HAS booked the place for weeks... I thought, hmmmmmm wonder what that means and I thought it would be revealed LATER. I thought maybe they were in on it, sending people to be sacrificed, SOMETHING.... But nope! Yes superhuman inbreds with prosthetic tits was just... not it.
@@lalareal180 yeah it went nowhere and it should have ended with Tess and Justin Long dying, Mama lives on then have 8 sequels, a prequel and a remake
It is explained. It’s rented out buy 2 different agencies.
It’s said, and SHOWN that the woman thing comes upstairs and out at night. She was obviously sneaking around trying to find her new baby, opening doors, etc. The basement door is at an incline and operated on real life physics lol. Not a demon.
@@natashahart25 nope same agency, they had the same phone numbers.
I saw this today. I had only seen 1 spoiler free review before watching and that got me so hype to see this. I ended up thinking the movie was ok. It was nowhere near as good as I expected but it I left thinking it was fine. Having watched your spoiler review, I like it less lmao. 😆 You made great points.
Damn me! Haha
I ended up finishing your whole video- I totally see where Jason is coming from, but I relate to Kali about not over-thinking. I was also going nuts at the moment Jason was so bugged by w the girl, but by the end it tied together enough and I let go of it and enjoyed. Then again, I loved the movie Us which can drive me nuts if I apply logic to it.
US makes zero sense if you overthink it
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 oh absolutely! To me I liken Us to an art piece that I admire but doesn’t make sense. I just gave up logic and went along with it and loved it. Empty Man is a movie that makes more sense, but it hurts my brain when I try to figure it out fully, and LOVE that movie. I also like Malignant- but all logic gets thrown out the window with that one.
Us makes perfect sense if you think about it just right ☺️
@ 29:09, Given the director, I'm pretty sure all of the laughs are intentional.. I would compare the tone to Malignant. Technically, yes, it's horror. But it's campy.
I can't find your Letterboxd link. In fact I can't see anything on video description.
boxd.it/61rl
Just saw it- I loved it! Not scary to me, but so much fun! And some quirky dark humor I liked.
I didn’t watch any trailers,so I got the
“From Dusk till Dawn” way of seeing it.
Where you think it’s going one way,then all the sudden things change. That was pretty cool! Second time watching wasn’t as fun!
Definitely love when that happens
I was planning to see this today! Ya know . . . so much shiznit is coming out the next two months. I’m especially curious about Jeepers Creepers 4 though on the 16th over here. Someone already gave it one star, WTF 😳
Meh
Jason, your review is very refreshing for me. Out of the mountain of hype, I left this movie feeling it was very mediocre and I thought the script was terrible. The third act was piss poor to me. It's not the worst thing, but out of 10? I'd give it maybe a 5.
I seem to be the only guy on TH-cam… haha
...and the Michael Meyers level of damage that woman takes and keeps on ticking...
She’s a barbarian
She's Conan
Great review and great movie! I seen it in theaters last night.
Man pennywise the clown has really let himself go.....
Ha
It’s also similar to Don’t Breathe.
I watched this last night. I had so many questions as the “WHY” but just went with it and it was fine I think this movie will be very frustrating to watch a second time. I think I would rather go back and watch “MALIGNENT” and just enjoy the ride!
Malignant rules
I remember the night this was released. Was trying to decide which movie to go see, and as soon as I saw this was directed by one of The Whitest Kids U' Know, my interest was peaked.
I was really into it until Keith died. Tess and Keith were so likable - I honestly could’ve watched a whole movie with just the two of them. After Keith’s death, the story lost some of its charm. The double booking of the Airbnb was odd and never explained, and it felt strange that the monster didn’t go after Keith and Tess sooner. Although it was still a decent one-time watch, there were definitely a few plot holes that took away from the overall experience.
I wanna revisit this one
Best spoiler explanation video I've watched, because you both were able to help me see both sides of the divide while others influence you to be either totally for or against the film. My interpretation of the bad decisions the characters were making is that it's supposed to have an affect on the audience that sparks conversation and debate about whether you approach fear and bad situations with logic or intuition or through selfishness or selflessness; and the social commentary is that men will be more logical and selfish, while women will be more intuition and selfless. But aside from that i thought you both had valid points. I liked your commentary on the baby bottle/breast feeding scene. In my opinion, that was the most the most effective scene because the idea should be dumb and silly, and had it been put in the context of a real B-movie horror flick, then it would be just stupid and over-the-top. But Georgina and Justin's straight acting in the scene made it believable that it's supposed to be scary and uncomfortable rather than funny and campy.
Why did she kill pennywise but claimed the other two as her “babies”? That was my biggest plot hole.
I mean that’s not a plot hole. She just preferred them over him. A plot hole is something that cannot be explained. This is just a character decision which is never a plot hole
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Right, thanks for discussing the issue I commented about and not just telling me I used the wrong phrase to describe said issue. 🙄
@@CharlieD.706 because Tess explains when Justin Longs character comes down there, that freaking out or being upset upsets her as well. So maybe Keith had upset her in some way, or maybe she just feels connected to a feminine energy. But yeah I think it was mainly bc Tess let her do her thing instead of fighting it.
I loved this movie, but I loved way much more how frustrated and annoyed Jason was by all the numerous problems with the logic of the film in this video. Doesn't diminish my enjoyment, but yeah, that makes chunks of the movie fall apart, which also bothered me when I was watching it. Also love that you liked it in spite of all those dumb things.
So glad I discovered your channel, late or not, but I love both of your takes and I feel like I get to nerd out with some cool people I wouldn't otherwise get to.
This movie is a great example of incredibly competent misdirection and really great style. 7/10 and 4/10 simultaneously. Additionally, I loved it in the moment. But I feel your problems with it.
Yeah, the logic is non existent in places but whatever. I’m glad people love it
I loved this movie! It’s so bizarre and freaky and hilarious. It wasn’t so messed up that you felt cold and sad but it made me laugh wicked hard. I laughed as much as I did when I caught Killer Joe in the cinema 10 years ago. Not perfect but quite original and clever film.
When I watch movies, I try to not think of it being written. I watch them with the mindset of “what is shown is what happened”… no matter how irrational something may seem. I personally enjoy movies more after adapting this mindset.
I try to do the same but sometimes I cannot haha
Glad I’m not the only one that thought Barbarian was just ok. Everything was either way too convenient to get to the action and not enough originality imo. Ppl are loving it though and I don’t understand why
I am happy that people are loving it even if I don’t get it
I LOVED this movie! (Spoilers) Yes, that girl made ridiculous choices that most women never would but I totally overlooked it. Also, the homeless guy knowing things was stupid. The guy getting his arm ripped off and getting beaten with it, after the creature bust through a wall, made me laugh out loud. The police thing, I just assumed she just didn't think about calling the police because she was a woman of color. Look at that one guy of color who went to the police only to get returned to Dahmer.
Yeah… that guy
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 I'll have to see Serbian movie since you mentioned it.
You have one of the best takes on this subject/movie. Every horror movie is contrived...but this movie takes it too far too many times. Everything that propels the plot is a contrivance. The movie was entertaining because of the acting and sometimes yelling at the movie is a genre unto itself. However, it would have been nice to see the same movie... with the intelligence turned way up and clever happenings driving them deeper into trouble. Or if the movie had the courage to hypothesize an ending with AJ actually being a victim of hearsay. (Because that happens sometimes too)
the main lead literallly went thourhg a moment of distrusting someone to seeing them get there head bashed in so maybe this complete new stranger who she knows nothing about or his history in her eyes may seem nice enough to want to help ....like doesn't seem too unbelievable ...
the way i looked at it im prob wrong
wen the the girl had her interview and the other lady seem like shocked she was stayin at the house. n was not scared or worried to me
it seem like the two cops know something too bout the area she stayed in an they didn’t wanna even bother looking into it when they met up with the girl at the house
i’m prob wrong tho just how i saw it in the first watching
You never know
28:00 I loved hearing the female perspective on this. I've seen the movie twice in theaters and I never looked at it that way.
Yay! You finally get ads! Goood you were too nice to us, you deserve to make some revenue man
🤑
I like the movie a lot but I completely agree with you about the violence and gore. It's too mild for me.
100%
Justin Long's eyes were the only gory part.
Yeah, my thing with the movie was how does the house go from the original owner to the douche bag guy. Why would anyone stay in a house in that neighborhood that looks out of place, 5 thousand red flags. Totally agree, I couldn't understand any of her decisions.
It’s a turn your logic center off type film for sure
Those tunnel scenes 👌frickin A+. My favorite part. That and the score. Tess’s decisions were ridiculous..she could’ve left soooo many times. I liked this movie because it threw curveballs every time I thought I had it figured out, and it built up tension well. I’d be curious if they’ll do a prequel with Richard Brakw’s character. You’re right though, a lot of logic has to be ignored here.
A lot
I thought this movie was WAY over hyped. The movie, while it did take its twists and turns, the reveal was nothing new. I loved the first tense 30 min but after the tone shift it lost me. I just really really dislike that almost every horror review is saying how bat shit crazy this movie is…it’s not.
I agree
You've covered basically all of my issues with the film dude! Lol I also was expecting to see other deformed people through out the basement just popping up and terrorizing the characters. Especially when they homeless guy mentioned that she wasn't the worst thing down there. I was hoping it would have the same kind of affect as the 2008 film Quarantine . Where as the viewer you felt exhausted by the end of the film because you felt like you were beside the characters the whole time on a roller coaster ride. The fact that Georgina was able to escape more than once and then returns was ridiculous to me.
I meant to mention the homeless line and forgot
Personally that would be too "hills have eyes" for me
TESS escaped and came back bc she didn't want the regret of leaving someone behind because she was saved by him coming to the house in the first place
Just watched this last night and thought it was good, but, definitely did not live up to the hype. As far as the double booking it appears that the owner’s property manager had the house listed with multiple rental services which each one of them had secured the rental from. The homeless guy said he had lived there for 15 years so it would be possible that he had seen the rapist/kidnapper bringing victims into the house or recapturing some who had escaped. A lot of times there are multiple people in an area that know bad things are happening, but, will say nothing because they don’t want to get involved or don’t think they will be believed.
I loved the movie but I did throw my arms up at those cops lmao
Haha
You should watch a couple interviews with Zach Cregger to actually get how the movie came about and what it was actually about. They're very helpful.
I’ll look into it
just watched the movie and came to see what you thought.
agreed with you on every point. i'd also add that there was a bunch of 2020s hollywood politics that A) repeatedly pulled me out of the film and B) made basically all the "twists" pretty predictable.
i did love the camerawork throughout, especially in the 1980s(?) flashback sequence. so at least it was visually enjoyable to watch. and the premise was cool. but man the writing was pretty awful.
😢
I missed what the future of the channel is are you quitting, I hope not but I have seen a lot of "the future of the channel" vids lately I think people are getting burned out by the constant censorship and battling the algorithym Jay I been watching for 5-6 yrs hope you guys keep going
Oh no way. We are just saying we want to make money from the channel and focus more on building it up and bringing back the patreon
You're in the wrong business Jason. You should've been a defence lawyer. And Kali, you'd have made a great judge 😉
Haha
I appreciate this take. I loved the first 30 minutes but when you discovered what’s happening.. the “thing” was extremely silly and just.. sad. It lost all that sweet tension from the first 30 minutes where the ideas in my head were way scarier than what they revealed. It’s a 6/10 for me
I'm shocked you didn't know this was part of the Jeepers Creepers universe.
Ha
Why the hell does the homeless dude knowing about the family hurt you so bad? Him knowing is Irrelevant doesn't matter. He said he's been in the area for 15 years. So maybe he had news papers or something
Yeah, I ended up in the hospital it hurt me so bad
I’m totally on board with u man about the things that I just couldn’t overlook in this one! The cops, the fact she doesn’t call ANYONE before going into the tunnel after Bill Skarsgard’s character, her being shot then falling off the building and walking away/ surviving at the end, and the fact that this homeless dude knew everything about the momster but she’s just been living there killing for years! There’s just too many things that r so outrageous as much as I wanted to like it I just really didn’t enjoy this movie overall
I’m hoping to not care on subsequent viewings
Just got back from the cinema. Instant thoughts are that in general I liked it. Really liked that atmosphere and tension in places. The performances were really good I thought. I just didn't love it.
Liked it. Didn't love it. I'd give it a 3/5. Solid, but not exceptional.
I've dug Georgia Campbell ever since seeing her in Hang the DJ from Black Mirror. Good to see her in a leading role.
My favorite episode
I agree that the woman had bad circumstances, but once she starts to kill and kidnapped she’s crossed the line and she needs to be dealt with.
I just got through seeing it and I'm glad the lead actress survived all that. She was beautiful too. Justin Long's character had hope for redemption and even convinced me momentarily he changed or didn't commit anything, smh. My mom always said if you can cheat you can do anything else. Well, if you can assault someone sexually you more than likely will be okay with THAT. Lowkey okay with him being eye gouged then torn apart. I wonder what's crappier. Being hallowed out for your eyes like a cutout celebrity on display or that.
Oh and how the homeless guy said there's way worse down there. The movie straight up lied to us there. They easily could have had other inbreds down there and made it so much better besides just the one woman. Noone mentions this
I forgot to mention this!!!! Damn.
Well, technically the old man is the real monster
@@nerychristian not good enough
I think the funny parts were definitely intentional. You do know who the director is right?
He’s married to Sara Paxton
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 lucky bastard. I loved her in Last House on the Left and Stranger Things big time.
I'm still trying to figure out how doors were opening and closing by themselves. Nothing about the plot of this movie is supernatural or paranormal. Needless to say I didn't enjoy this film.
Oh man, this is the most asked question
I was disappointed, this was completely overhyped. I think I could write something more original and creative. Glad to see I’m not the only one
Yeah
Do it. I doubt you’d get past page 3. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to write a screenplay? You talk like it’s as easy as whipping up a side of spaghetti.
@@DCToonTime I’m entitled to my opinion. You can puff out your chest all you want big guy. Everybody’s talking about how all the TH-camrs completely overhyped that movie. It’s not just me saying it. Get over yourself
@@drumr72 You’re free not to like the film. I was addressing the comment that you think you could write something more original or creative. Why haven’t we already seen your brilliance up on the silver screen? Continue to live in your own personal clown world, loser. You couldn’t write a viable, let alone original and creative, 100 page script if someone spotted you the first 99 pages.
Evil Dead remake is more violent than most movies even today!! 🤤😈
Evil dead remake was the bloodiest and goriest ive seen since dead alive, the it remakes had lots too
Hopefully Evil Dead rise brings that level
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 yes hopefully!! Did you see that Evil Dead Rise got pushed to theatrical? Good sign hopefully.
I know people are going to have a problem with the cops especially if you don't keep up with the news. If you do keep up with the news and know of things like the cops ignore the serial killer, cops bringing victims to serial killers, cops that mistakenly shot the kidnap victim and others cases like that then you might think the cops in this movie weren't dumb enough.
Jason dismissing or overlooking the fact that it's set in one of the worst areas of Detroit is a big reason he didn't understand most of the film. If you have any idea how bad parts of Detroit are, a lot of things make more sense.
I suppose that’s possible
It's sort of silly how much "reality" people force on horror movies but will watch Indiana Jones and believe they can use a bull whip just as easily lol
It’s always how the material is presented. People think horror is just some throwaway genre that is filled with moronic characters but that isn’t true at all. Especially nowadays. Writers have learned how to make characters smart but just making the villains or situations just a little smarter. The decisions in this film are very questionable, and it can take you out of the moment. If it didn’t for you that’s fine but it did me.
Good marketing is really where it's at. Look at Black Phone. So much hype created before release. And it turned out to be a mediocre film. Same here. So much hype talking about how amazing and unique this film is before release. But once again, it just turns out to be a film about something that's been done to some degree by other films.
SPOILER: I honestly thought this was gonna be more than just another in the long line of mutant inbred killer movies. That's it? Seriously? I thought this genre ran out of steam a while ago. The sad things is, all of them will never shock the audience as much as an episode of X-Files. Home did it better than anybody has since. Yawn. People are so desperate for good horror movies that they'll hype a tired idea just because of the people involved.
Same with nope, lotta hype but good film nothing outstanding
Home is the best episode!
Gore and violence isn’t that scary so I’m glad the director went more psychological horror
I love psychological as well.
When i heard about the hype about this movie i just wanted to watch it asap and then i watched your review, because it is here that i find the best reviews and we share the same taste.
I thought f*** so it won't be this one.
And it's not.
As you said Jason, many moments got me out of the movie because i couldn't buy them especially when the homeless man knocked on the windows like a crazy man instead of just knocking at the door and tell them to leave. i didn't understand why bill Skasgard spent so much time in the basement "visiting it" when he said 30 seconds only while Tess was waiting for just one thing : getting out of that house.
And then there were those scenes with the cops that pissed me out. But then i thought : it's in America.
I do think, like Kalee, that the filmmaker wanted to point out racism : a black girl in a creepy neighborhood, dirty and looking like a hysterical woman is a drug addict/ an old homeless black man is seen as the same and he knows that the police wouldn't care about what he would tell them. They would think he's crazy, and drunk. I was like you, and the i thought "it is in America, it is possible with black people" (sorry, i don't want to hurt any Americans, but that's what we think in Europe about black people condition).
As Kalee, the thing which has saved the movie for me, was the "women condition" subtext.
Kalee is really so sensitive and smart (she should be a psychologist, please tell her jason, i'm going to be one too),
this review is a gem to point out the both point of views about this film.
I loved the first half, with the major The Descent vibes and a good amount of red herring tension

She could have just asked the cop to run the plates on her car and dispatch would confirm the identity that she was telling him. And if it was a rental, she would know it was registered to Avis or Alamo or whatever. Everyone in this movie was a bonehead, lol. Like, if the homeless dude is trying to be benevolent, why run at her screaming "HEY LITTLE GIRL!" And why is AJ even buying a rental property in skid row?
Also, I did not need to see the whole flashback scene with the old homeowner. We could have been given the backstory by evidence in the basement, exposition from homeless dude or cop, the main character googling the property, etc. Having one major narrative/tonal shift was enough. We didn't need another one that really just told us stuff that the audience would have been better off piecing together.
As for her going back to the basement to rescue Keith, I agree, but I think they were just trying to drive home the central theme of gender dynamics/differences that the two main characters discussed, specifically with how they react to scenarios
Yeah, it felt like an anthology
People always make fun of horror movies because the characters make stupid decisions. You would think that the film maker would have learned from them. I just couldn't take the movie seriously because every single character in the movie, including the villain, acts in ways that are not consistent or logical. Why did the old guy shoot himself?
I got no answer for the questions in this film
Thanks for the breakdown. I was tired of people telling me to go in spoiler free when the trailer I saw told me NOTHING about what to expect in this movie. Now I am perfectly happy to wait and watch it at home. Meh.
Glad we could help
Tunnel movies. The big thing with them for me is...they represent a cop out. The amount of work it would take to dig fucking tunnels like that would be absurd, someone would notice, it would be reported, end of story. The odd crack head or homeless person reporting it would be one thing, but the number of reports would not be something the police could ignore. Someone outside the neighbourhood would have heard about it too like, there'd be urban legends and shit about fuckin little Jimmy who went in there on a dare when no one was home and was never seen again, shit like that. And why would the tunnels have been there already, what was it built on top of ground that was used as a shelter or an asylum or something? The worst film for that for me is Law Abiding Citizen - no one noticed he had tunnels literally everywhere?! That being said, I haven't seen this movie so I don't know what the tone is, I just think "oh they had tunnels" is a bit like "oh its aliens" or "oh its a bunch of rednecks". Yeah, but where are the solutions to the problems that they would have - how would they explain the machinery doing the tunnelling, or at least the noise if they were doing it by hand, and where would they be putting the stuff they dug out?! Plus, are these people structural engineers that know exactly how to dig a fuckin tunnel that's not gonna cave in and kill them all? The amount of work that I think you have to do to justify a tunnel in a house in a movie? Forget about it. Which is a shame, the trailer looked interesting - didn't expect it to be Citizen Kane, but it looked like it could have been something in the vein of Don't Breathe or something like that. Sounds like wasted potential to me.
The tunnels are unexplainable 1000%
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Right? Why make that work for themselves? I don't get it, still I might give it a glance if I see it knocking around.
A lot of Contrarians out there…Saw it last night, it was great! I went with my wife and we were laughing the whole time.
Yes nothing scarier than superhuman inbreds in prosthetic titties flappin in the wind. Shes our next marvel superhero!
As someone whose also seen just about every horror movie since at least the turn of the millennium- I agree that this was a bit overhyped which I HATE because then I go into it with high expectations even when I try my hardest not to, and I inevitably end up being let down. I do oddly love most of internet driven horror lately (AirBnB can be enough - especially after Superhost) and I’m pretty good at suspending my disbelief but there were still those few moments where I was yelling at the TV. And I get it - it’s a commentary on gender roles to an extent and all that - but I still got annoyed at points, particularly by a couple of Tess’s decisions.
And since you kinda mentioned it - I have a somewhat irrelevant question. I was wondering what ‘gross out’ horror movies you’d recommend if you have a sec since you’re both gore aficionados. Plus everytime I look up a movie after watching it for others’ thoughts, which I always do, you and Fish Jelly are the two channels that ALWAYS come up - so I know we have similar tastes and knowledge. The gore factor isn’t something that I really pay much attention to, and while my sister is patiently waiting for Terrifier 2, she’s on the hunt for a movie so gross that she’ll faint 🤷♀️. All I could think of were the Human Centipedes and like.. Cannibal Holocaust (nothing rapey though). I trust your opinion so I was just hoping to get a couple recs from you if possible.
Thanks for always taking the time to make videos about nearly every horror movie - especially the more obscure and underrated and under-seen - even when I do disagree with your opinion from time to time 🫠✌️
When she went into the secret room in the basement I leaned over to my husband & said "this must have been written by a white man." Sure enough, I was right 😂
I mean most films are so your odds were high
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 💀 true
I am going watch your reaction but skip the spoilers😉
Good
I waited to watch this review since everyone said to avoid spoilers. Now I’ve seen it, and I’m conflicted. Because it feels like the movie is intentionally trying to be a pretty cynical horror-comedy. And this movie did get some great laughs in my theater. But my god, any thoughts beyond the surface absolutely shatter this movies script.
To add to your list of dumb, if that neighborhood is notoriously bad, and nobody wants to be there, how the hell did it ever get double booked? Double bookings happen, but they happen because there’s multiple requests at the same time. This place had 2 single requests in 3 weeks, did they order it at the exact same second or something?
And the homeless man said to leave because she comes out at night, which means she isn’t staying down in the tunnels all the time. What the hell is she doing at night normally before our main character arrived? And what is the “worse things” he mentioned?
I have no idea
I think Keith was involved. Who the hell gets bitten and then chooses to keep investigating further?
I don’t see how but maybe
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Perhaps he’s a relative or offspring who was taught to lure women further into the caverns. I don’t understand why he would want to stay down there injured when he’s found an opportunity to escape from an unknown threat. I wish they added more reasoning to the script for his motives.
This movie was more a WTF than a Holy Shit, but a good time.
Spoiler!
Okay so it was Justin Long's house. And I assume everything in the basement was his. So how does he not notice the f****** rope hanging out of the wall
No clue
The movie kinda addressed this. The company he calls is handling all the houses’ business, he just owns the property. So he’s not actually aware of what the house looks like. It doesn’t explain how the house can be renovated and rented out when a giant killer inbred comes out every night to grab some “babies.”
Once Justin Long's character was introduced, this movie went to $hit!
I'm glad people are having fun watching this movie, I'm just not seeing it.
I can see that
Seconded on all points, plus HOW THE HELL WAS THE "MOTHER" SO SUPERHUMANLY STRONG AND TOUGH? Inbreeding doesn't do that, as far as I've been lead to believe.
It does in film 😈
Huge disappointment! The writing just killed it. Agree with your complaints Jason
Yeah. I’m shocked it is SO SO loved
It was just ok, not great. I don’t think it was as good as everyone says it was
Very disappointed in this movie. My wife and I love horror movies but we both found this one to be dumb and way overrated. I was so looking forward to this movie, and what a disappointment. It started of good but went down hill fast.
I unfortunately had the same issue
disappointed after months of waiting. trailer was very good but movie is not good. lots of mistakes in the movie.
I understand
I need a early screening of terrifier 2! Hook it up jason!
Thanks
@Cody Leach loved it, (barbarian) but didnt like terrifier because he thought that was over hyped!!! Lol. What a tool. IMO.
I don’t know much about him so I can’t comment on him but I’m hoping I like Terrifier
Cody Leach is a complete douche. I trust Jason's opinions any day.
In the movie, the men were all a bit dismissive towards the main female character. It’s funny how the male reviewer, here, is dismissive towards the female one. Let her talk, and share her point of view and opinions. Sorry, I just had to stop watching.
I think you see what you want
Garbage film
just watched this film.. what a pile of shit it was lol..
You’ll be in the minority on that one for sure haha
