When Justin Long thought he’d get Tess’s laptop password on the first try, I lost it
Then he threw the fuckin laptop lol
@@WeWatchedAMovie haha unreal. Approaching a really nice stretch here with Barbarian, Pearl, Smile, and then Ends. Scream will be here before we know it. A great year for horror.
@@CreedBratton89 Pearl is phenomenal
This is what leads me to believe that it was maybe a day, not weeks, between the time Tess was captured and the time Justin Long showed up.
If it had been weeks, there's no way that laptop would have had a charge left.
@@jimbobjones9330 she probably brought a charger and he charged it
My whole theatre laughed when she jumped off the water tower 😂
Persons were laughing also during that unintentional funny scene.
My theatre too lol
I laughed with 1 other random dude who looked LIT at the theater during that scene SO HARD 💀 lol
Our too … monster lady jumped head first well after tes was thrown yet…. They both survived and the monster is under tess!!! Whattt??? They defied the laws of physics! Jajaa move was ruined right there.
@@COLORAO777 did any laugh super hard at the breast feeding scene or was that just me..? lol.
When the monster did the "boop" on the nose. That killed me😂😂😂
THERE'S A MONSTER?!
@@jupitershanty the title says spoiler review bruh
@@DanielBirman It's a surprise not a spoil.
Kinda??? Someone who was deformed due to being a product of generational incest.
I laughed when he threw the MacBook Pro because he used to be in those:
“I’m Mac.”
“I’m a PC”
commercials.
It caught me so fucking off guard when Kieth turned out to actually be a victim and not the antagonist. I thought going in, “It’s probably going to be some kind of twist on who the villain really is.” But then seeing how Kieth was acting and then analyzing the door being able to drift closed on its own made me think, “Oh shit, Kieth really is the villain!” And then he goes silent in the tunnel, and I immediately thought, “He’s definitely trying to coerce her in there and is going to trap her.” And the holy fuck, the twist had my head spinning. That was absolutely nuts to me going back and forth on whether I thought the marketing was fucking with me or not. That twist shocked me and actually amped up the horror big time for me. I felt like the unexpectedness of it all was definitely what did it for me with this movie
Great movie and after I saw his head get bashed in my mouth was left hung open
honestly his acting was fantastic, he was borderline creepy and awkward, likely to be a weirdo but also seemingly super innocent and everything he said checked out. but i just kept waiting for him to do something untoward, super well written character and performance.
My entire theater laughed during the building jump scene.
Good to know I'm not alone!
Same here
@Ashley Jay Oh, don't get me wrong. I laughed, too, but in a good way!
Justin Long's character was also a barbarian.
My pet peeve of this movie is that no one reported Tess missing? She has apparently been down there for a couple of weeks. The employer warned her about the area but she never looked for her again? Friends & family back home? 'Marcus' was blowing up her phone when she 1st arrived. No one reported her missing??? Also, all she had to do was tell the cops Hey my name is Tess ... look me up I should have a missing person's report.. I hated how that played out with the cops not believing her or taking her seriously, that was stupid.
some cops are not too bright.
I think Marcus blowing up her phone was to answer this exact question. Seems she was avoidant of people. They probably assumed she still didnt want to talk, whoever it was
@@LSPalm 😄😁
@@alecfigueroa5769 good point!
How it is in Detroit ig
Thank you, Bill Skarsgard, for teaching me how to put on a duvet cover. Even if it was messy lmao 🤣
My brain felt like it needed to be doused in bleach afterwards, but overall a damn good movie. Kept me in the dark (no pun intended) for the entire runtime.
He maybe would’ve survived if he listened to Tess to leave instead of trying to stay in the cave. Wtf was that about? 😂
I loved the flashback shots with the extremely wide lens. Reminded me of Kubrick!
I interpreted the strength of the deformed “mom” as mother’s adrenaline strength. I think because she was desperately trying to get to her “baby” she has that freak strength like when a mom is so fueled with adrenaline she’s able to break car windows or hold the back bumper of a car to keep it from going down, something like that. That’s just what I suspected but I do agree they should’ve explained it a little better. There’s been stories in real life of average women using every cell in their body to save a child by doing something they couldn’t normally do.
Don't
@@samanderson4166 don’t worry im not dealing with scamming TH-cam channels 😂
😂😂😂
I like this idea a lot. Definitely believing this idea.
"Does incest make you stronger?" lmfao
Barbarian soundtrack: 10/10. Music by Anna Drubich is awesome.
The movie overall 9/10. That's like 10/10 in this movie genre.
Loved your segment and praise on Justin Long. 100% agree. "I'm a man. Get ready to get fucked up bitch." He's the best. Always brings a believable performance and fills the screen. And I laughed out loud too when The Mother leaped toward the camera. That shit was funny as fuck I don't care. I also loved how it was almost a really weird fucked up Frankenstein's Monster story to where The Monster didn't know right from wrong, and just wanted to live. This was one of the best theater experiences I've had in probably a decade. What a rollercoaster ride. Great review, Mike! This was one of your best. Hella fucking funny
Don't
one thing i found odd was there were no other bodies or family members down there... ALSO, i know he was probably talking about the serial killer that started it all, but when the homeless guy says theres something WORSE down there than the crazy mommy lady... THAT intrigued me! (sequel?)
Those were likely mining tunnels. There’s not a chance in hell one person could construct those tunnels.
Oh yeah they was definitely there before lol
"I've lived here for 15 years and she's never come here"
*Dies immediately*
My only other plot hole was when they were thrown off the water tower there was brain and blood on the ground but neither one had any major injuries nor dead
I noticed that too. It totally looked like he killed her. And when she jumped after her, where was she when he looked over to see if she was alive?
I have so much love for this movie, but I fucking died of laughter, along with like 10 other people in my theatre when the big”titty laddy” jumped in the air. Honestly badass horror movie!
The only thing that didn't amount to anything that happened in the house was the random door openings and closings and Keith having nightmares. I guess the nightmares can be written off, but the doors opening and closing locked shut.
My friend said the old man in the tunnels could pull the strings from above, which I call bull. However the house looks remodeled and no one knows he is down there, he has no surveillance of the house and I can't imagine twine string over 40 years would all be operational. I can accept that when they slept, 7ft queen came up opened Tess bedroom door, and wanted to see the new guests since the homeless man said she leaves at night. But when Tess was going down the basement and the door immediately closed behind her that made no sense.
I think Frank built the doors to self close at some point in his horrifying serial rapist career just incase he forgot to close the door one day it would eventually close on its own preventing his victims from escaping even if he slipped up some day
The door opening was the mother, in thE beginning. You can hear her feet running off
Keith was just having a nightmare, the door openings were the mother, and the doors closing were just the doors being unbalanced as old house foundations shift over time. There was a clip when Tess was in the basement where the basement door starts to slowly shut again, and she catches it before it does. It shows it shutting on its own. And I think it locks every time because the original owner designed it that way maybe.
She didn't lock the door at first
The only “plot hole” I thought of is why wouldn’t she have the cops run her license plate and give them all her info to see she wasn’t lying or maybe even possibly missing… I would’ve assumed the lady who interviewed her would’ve been worried when she didn’t answer her call back especially after she told her where she was staying. Also I’m pretty sure Justin had his phone when they were sitting at the hobos place, why not call someone?
Justin misplaced his phone when he was watching the videos in that room. He was trying to find it until he started watching the videos and then the dude killed himself
I swear I was saying the same thing about the car like how is no one here when 2 clean cars are right here, I’m gonna bust my own window and have them arrest me and when they try and find whose car it is it’ll be mine or something like damn
This movie left me thinking: what the actual fuck did I just watch
My only issue with the movie is the inbreeding. For inbreeding to eventually create the deformities Mother had it would have taken generations. I don't think Frank would have been able to live long enough to accomplish enough genrational inbreeding to create Mother as she was portrayed in the movie.
I felt the same. I was hoping it would be the woman from the flashback and it would be more of a Stockholm syndrome situation where she thinks she's in love with the old man. I think it would humanize the monster and show she is also a victim of this horrible man's treatment
My thought is maybe the woman monster was the result of generations upon generations of incest, separate from the man. And was there the whole time living in those tunnels. And the guy was r*ping the women holding them captive to give her babies, but the babies never survived very long because she wasn't able to care for them very well. And the woman probably died or were killed by the guy after.
@@elisediesslin6166 I felt like she was humanized anyway. Because it was obvious she was his victim.
I noticed that there were some similar scenes between this movie and jeepers creepers with Justin. The scene where he’s looking down the stairs with the flashlight and the scene where he’s looking down the creepers tunnel in the back of the church. His character in barbarian gets his eyes poked out and in JC , the creeper pokes his eyes out lol just something I noticed.
I noticed that too
Last year at an Airbnb I ended up finding out the in law house I was staying in was the owners’ late mother’s home. All their belongings were still up when I walked in, including pictures. The same night I had crazy sleep paralysis.
Whoa. That’s actually terrifying.
@@theoschommer3530 yea it was terrifying to say the least.
I completely agree that her superhuman strength was one of the only things that took me out of the film a bit. That and the homeless man that apparently knew all about the internal dynamics of this underground incest chamber. Bittersweet because without those two things it could have been one of my all-time faves. That said, it was still overall fantastic. I found the first 2 thirds of the film to be incredibly strong.
Right thank you Julian the homeless guy knew but how did he know
@@chasemanley957 just cause he was living there and saw her come out every night
I do get the homeless guy part just because he was squatting in that area for years. Kind of like the janitor from Breakfast Club. "I am the eyes and ears of this institution my friend"
He is homeless no one will believe him
@@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760 These guys look for too much realism
So I know the door opening to the bedroom was suppose to be the mother opening it to see
Tess, but they made a big point of not being able to open the door to the basement from within the basement so how was she able to get out every night like the homeless man eluded too? If there were triggers within the basement to unlock the door somehow shouldn't that have been shown?
That's why I said thank you! I just see it as movie plot holes
The guy is in on it
@@Elver-Galarrga who? The homeless guy? He warned her though.
My guess is she was able to get out at night through pushing out the window of the basement. And with the door being closed, maybe there was a hidden key? Which is why she was able to open a locked bedroom door and the door to the basement. They are pretty big plot holes though. No movie is perfect. Especially if we're expected to believe any of the plot at all
You’re thinking way too much about a silly horror movie instead of just enjoying it. You realize this is a movie right? Not a factual documentary.
OH! My husband and I totally laughed at the water tower jump. That shot HAD to have been done for laughter purposes.
We loved this movie. We left feeling like we'd seen two different films. It was SUCH a good time and while I do love Justin Long, I equally loved him getting his comeuppance in this film. He deserved EVERYTHING.
It was a direct recreation of the Amazing spiderman dive, made it even funnier
@@Effreyjepsteinprod lmao I knew it looked familiar! 😂😂😭😭
I love Justin Long! Very underrated🫤what is it about his eyes tho’? He also lost them in Jeeper’s Creepers😆this movie was awesome!🙌🏽🤩
Every single fucking time that the Mother was presumed to be dead, I would keep muttering “double tap! double tap!!” under my breath. You can never be too sure in horror films
6:37=One of the reasons you wanted him to be likable is because he typically plays likable characters. In this movie, he played a jerk. This is the proof that your wife is wrong about his acting.
I really liked it. The things that didn’t make sense were why was she so strong, how did they go undetected for so long, and how did Justin Long become the owner of the home. Was the house assume abandoned and the rapist just decided to live underground permanently? I thought it was hilarious when Justin Long was so enamored with “extra square footage” that he completely ignored the rape room and tunnels lol. 8/10
I liked that the movie left a lot for the imagination about the tunnels. We heard a dog once, the bell installed near the psicho's door (I mean, was the creature-lady tending to the guy?), what happened to Keith's body? (turned into dog's dinner?), and what about all the old man's victims?, was there a mass grave on some corner of the tunnels?.
When Andre said "she's not the worst thing down there" my dark imagination went really wild.
Three movies have scared the shit out of me.
1. Halloween when I was 7 years old.
2. The Descent.
3. THIS FUCKING MOVIE. I screamed like a girl in the theater.
My only plot hole was they never explained who handled the airbnb bookings in the first place
The woman who manages the property. The one Long was talking to. I guess it's actually easy for situations like that to happen and often they don't care. Still, I didn't find it super believable when she wasn't curious about former renters' belongings still being there. But I guess Justin didn't mention the cars or anything.
There are several problems with this movie. I didn’t hate but it feels like it could have been so much better.
Zach was so funny in that one skit on Whitest Kids You Know. "CALM DOWN. JUST CALM DOWN!"
The part that took me out was Justin’s character still measuring down into the basement and not even noticing all the red flags especially the bedroom! 😂
I think that was deliberately intended as humorous...I certainly found it funny. He's just so incredibly self-centered he's ignoring the weirdness of the situation and thinking of how it could benefit him.
Justin Long is a very versatile actor! Can play both silly and serious very well.
So inbreeding gives you supernatural strength? I'm pretty sure it does the exact opposite. Also, if Frank is bedridden who is shopping for the food he eats. The mother probably eats the Air Bnb clients but Frank isn't deformed. Does he eat people as well? Also, if the mother is kidnapping the Air BnB renters aren't their relatives at all curious about the house they traveled to right before they went missing?
Another plot hole I had was how the homeless man knew the whole back story of that house. He knew all the crimes were going down there, but never reported it or at least dropped an anonymous tip. From what I remember, he wasn't in the backlash or from that neighborhood(not mentioned) so I felt like that was lame.
Sad part is, I can totally see him trying to get the cops involved and the cops not taking him seriously. It's happened several times before where people give the cops proof of abuse, kidnapping, child exploitation etc and the cops just turn a blind eye.
Yea I was gonna say if the cops didn’t believe Tess, I doubt they would trust an ACTUAL homeless person. Especially in such a bad neighborhood
@@bloodontoast8522 tbh, it didn't make much sense the cops reaction to Tess. They should have ateast taken her medical attention, she was very distraught and visibly physically injured. I understand them not believing the story but leaving her there to F herself was unrealistic af
@@jaketaylor3901 It's... Definitely not unrealistic. They believed she was a crackhead.
@@jaketaylor3901 You must be from nice upper class suburbs where all the nice cops are :)
guuuyss the door!!! the only plothole I found is how the hell did the basement door could close and open and lock by itself??
I loved when he brought out the tape measure.
Didn’t go how I thought it went multiple times lol. I was waiting for them to play on the hobo saying, “She’s not even the worst thing down there.” I thought the “worse thing” would be after she got smashed by the car, or maybe if Justin actually killed the girl, it could show up, or maybe after the tower in the last few minutes… Idk. It was alright!
The actor who plays the incest mother is 6 foot 8, I don’t know if that entirely clears up her crazy strength but I think it helps lol
Yeah but still incest wouldn't do THAT (I know it's a movie but lbr she'd just be dead)
I also didn’t understand if when the door is locked in can’t get out .. but how was the old lady able to get through at night
Who set up the BnB for the two for them to be together? When Justin called they said it wasn’t rented in a long time.
Yes like so many plot holes why did the maid not know anything
It explains it in the movie. They rented it on two separate rental apps and apparently the management company missed it or didn't care. As for the maid... The rental company explained to him that the maid only goes before someone is staying. Doesn't go after someone checks out. So since no one rented after them, the housekeeping service nor management company went to the property.
@@caveman6561 thanks. Guess I’ll just have to see it again!
That’s literally what I’m stuck on?? I thought that the realtor lady was in on it because she said no one should be there but somehow 2 people rented it??
@@berenicelomeli6107 I really liked the movie but I thought the interviewer or who ever she was hanging up on would come looking for her.
I didn't find it funny that she was wanting to make them her baby, or that she jumped off after her. She was a super incest lady that was doomed to life in the tunnels. She was only wanting to find someone to love. To me I ended up feeling bad for her in some weird way.
You're supposed to. She's the representation of the monstrosities that result from the REAL abusive monsters like Frank. She didn't know any other life, very much seemed to have the mentality of a child and was obviously feral. I couldn't laugh when she flung herself from the tower. It was all very sad.
My only plot hole How did the homeless guy know that man had been doing all the thing he was doing in full detail. For 40yrs if he had been living there 15 yrs, and if he knew all this why not tell the cops. He had to much info for them not investigate.
I'm guessing he probably was treated just like the girl was they thought was homeless but yeah I'm with you
You hear stories of moms having super human strength when their child is in danger and to her, her baby daughter was in danger the entire movie basically.
The movie was not all that. It was basically the basement has eyes.
This is just a straight up fun horror movie and they need to make more of them!
This was the most entertaining review I’ve ever watched, subbed within 2 minutes of watching
That's mighty badass of you to say Jon thanks man
Her strength was one one my criticisms-especially in light of the fact her bones won the battle against wood and metal. In reality, she would've had two broken legs and probably a broken hip.
The movie wasn't bad. However, I had some exorbitantly high expectations, which were not met. The movie was marketed ingenuously. Admittedly, the movie wasn't bad (the soundtrack was AMAZING). However, as you mentioned, at the root of it - the story is pretty basic. The marketing for this movie had me under the assumption that we were in store for something much more involved/interesting. Instead , we got some half assed villain background story and a big titty inbred monster running around in a basement, with only a couple horror scenes. Perhaps I am being a narcissist. 6/10 rating from me.
I walk into a theater naked, Paging Mr. Herman...yeah I gotta go
Why would she go to a job interview and not go home the same day? I have never gone to a job interview for more than one day.
Maybe she lives far away? She got there late at night initially so it makes sense that it would be a long drive from wherever she lives
This is the second horror movie that I know of where Justin Long lost his eyes to a freaky, naked monster-person.
I saw this movie on 300 mg of THC and it was so fucking horrible it litteraly killed my buzz.
Just saw it and it 100% definitely was not what I expected. I honestly thought it was going to be way crazier and wackier, but it wasn’t elaborate as I expected it to be yet it was completely effective. I liked that as silly as the bottle and breast feeding scene should’ve been, i bought in to the serious terror of it because of the acting, especially Tess. If her line, “She just wants you to be her baby” and her sucking the bottle was in a real B-movie, it would be just dumb, but her acting convinced me that you should be terrified.
Also, how did tess have strength and stamina after surviving on monster breast milk? There's no way incest monster had nutritious milk also breastmilk isn't nutritious for humans adults, so how she survived for +2 weeks made no sense.
Why did the woman tess interviewed with not file her missing?
When Tess was cut and bruised up saying she was held captive why didn't the police take her back to the station?
Yes, BTL shouldn't have been ripping off limbs, majorly attributed to the dumb factor.
Why are you touring a creepy dungeon for someone you've know for 36 hours?
Lots of plot holes lmao
why was the serial killer dude still there though?
So was there another person down there? I could have sworn Justin Long's character heard another dude screaming. Maybe it was just the Mama
I assume it was just the mother trying to get him to go that way, like a wendigo does
@@Phoenix1121212 oh that's a cool idea
My biggest criticism of this movie is why the Tess character was so concerned about Keith & AJ when her life is literally in danger? Why didn’t she just leave and call the cops? She only spent 1 night with Keith & only a few minutes with AJ before she escaped. She has no emotional connection with either of these characters so why does she keep risking her life to save them? She took a picture of Keith’s ID so she could probably find his family and let them know what happened to him. Also where are the other children? Did Frank just kill them all and left “The mother” alive for some reason? We saw a whole scene where he is shopping for baby supplies so it didn’t seem like he was planning on killing them. Also I was a little confused about the timeline. If the mother is only 40 years old shouldn’t her mother be alive and living in the house? Or does Frank kill the women once they have a baby? And how long has this inbreeding been going on that she is so deformed? And why does the mother go out at night? Is she looking for food or a human to kidnap to make them her “baby” and you’re telling me that she hasn’t found anyone in 40 years? And if AJ is so self serving to the point that he would throw a woman off of a building that literally came back to save him, why wouldn’t he just run away when it looked like both Tess and the mother were dead? I just had so many unanswered questions. I think the plot could’ve been flushed out more.
I agree. I didn’t like the movie because it felt lazy writing at the end. Nothing was explained and the movie didn’t go anywhere
how well did telling the cops work before? Not so well! Maybe that's going through her head, or maybe she thought there wasn't time to somehow make her way to the police without a phone or car or any means of getting out of that busted neighbourhood. The rest of your questions are fine, but I didn't think necessary to answer. You can imagine anything you want, but a lot of those details are not important to the plot as-is.
The "past" scene of the old guy took place in the 80s (the music told that much). So let's assume 40 years until now. But remember, that's when we first saw him (and things were already underway). Presumably, this had been going on for years longer.
So let's say 45 years.
Honestly, that could be 3 generations of inbreeding if he started in 1970-1975. And looking at the cages and crap down there, I don't think the old guy (Frank? Don't remember the names offhand, and too lazy to look at imdb) really cared much about taking care of people.
Because the movie can't be 6 hours long lol
Yep I was thinking the same thing with every point you made. My guess maybe the woman monster was the result of generations upon generations of incest, and was there the whole time, and the guy was r*ping the women holding them captive to give her babies, but the babies never survived very long because she wasn't able to care for them very well. And the woman probably died or were killed by the guy after.
The only question and complaint I had was how the hell does the door close? It would have been cool if they showed Richard Brake had it rigged to do that. Also how did Justin Long have such a clear fuckin phone convo with his top down on the highway lol
1. Why was Keith having nightmares 2. Were they both actually just randomly booked?
Found an old rusty machete in a hotel above the wardrobe as well as seemingly dry blood on the carpet once
Thanks for the video Mike they always bring a smile to my face no matter what it's about definitely needed today after going to London to lay flowers at the gates of Buckingham palace after the queen Elizabeth passed away last night 😞
I hated it… but I can appreciate how well it’s shot and acted but this movie was dumb to me. Boring.
could have something to do with that rush of adrenaline and strength mothers get? like the stories of when mothers would lift cars off their kids in time of pure stress? like a permanent effect because of how inclined to motherhood she is?
This movie was fucking amazing this is what horror fans should want. Original to
Everyone in my theater started laughing when the lady jump of the building to save her baby 😂
That thing you said about anticipating being scared and having reflux was my EXACT reaction😂😂 my tummy was literally hurting from all the butter and my heart was beating so fast lmao
As twisted as it would have been I would have liked the curveball of Justin longs character surviving and Tess being killed by the fall and him using the events that happened as a way to get himself out of the negative spotlight and look like the hero who killed the monster and uncovered all of the things going on under his house and then use it as a plot for a new show since his got cancelled.
Haven’t seen it but don’t plan on it cause I’m scared of everything lmao so I must watch spoilers bc everyone seems to be loving it
Go watch it!!
When Justin through her off the water tower? That was shot like the Spiderman movies when the girl was falling and big mama dives off same camera angle and same way Spiderman jumped off
I saw this movie and did not watch the trailer and had no idea what it was like, I was like what the …. It was crazy and the ending was ironic but I liked the end.
I saw the trailer but they did a GREAT job of not giving anything away
This has to be one of the most overhyped movies of the year. Can’t believe this got the reviews it did. Got of build up but that’s about it
Name a better horror movie that came out this year
Really appreciate the heads up on this one man! Took the advice, went in blind, and had a butt f**king good time! Haha
Bro the only tape measured scene had me fucking dying lol
I think this movie was so funny! I had blast watching it last night and laughed several times. It was also so creepy and I love Justin Long's performance. His character made the movie so much more interesting! Love it!
100% was the only person in my showing that laughed their ass off when The Mother jumped from the water tower, too funny
This movie is worth watching just to see Justin Long nursing. I cried laughing.
You totally nailed it about the mother jumping off the tower being funny. It was so entertaining and hilarious at the same time. Idk what that feeling of excitement and funny in a satirical way is called. Maybe dark comedy which there was a lot of in the movie. It was a great movie.
the creature's name is Mother. good review but I see no one touch the Detroit housing problem or the mines that most likely inspired the tunnels.
Thanks! Definitely noticed the point of that storyline though! They did a good job w it
I’m very happy the trailer gave you an idea that this is a serious Horror movie except without spoilers.
Sadly I really didn’t like the movie halfway through the second act. I was, however, also the only person in the theater who cackled when the incest mistress flung herself from the water tower
That sucks! But Im glad im not alone in the cackling lol
When that woman jumped over the railing I bit my tongue because it was SOOOO FUNNY!!
There were lots of plot holes with the movie actually. None of them bothered me though because I loved the movie so much I was like it just doesn’t matter lol.
Here are some of them:
•It’s an Airbnb being rented out. This creature is know to be let out on the loose constantly in the nights, so what about all the other people that have rented the property out in the past? When Justin Long’a character calls his property manager she even says the maids come and clean the house after each tenant leaves (suggesting there have been tenants). Why would the creature not mess with the other tenants?
•What happened to all the other babies he had? We get the idea of how the creature was created, but what about all the people that were raped and tortured to get to that point. Her siblings and such. I know they’re old and shit but he had like over 40 tapes, and he was inbreeding with a ton of them to get to the creature. That’s a lot of bodies.
•Why did that door keep magically closing? The door to the basement? There was times where the door was opened for a prolonged period of time then close at convenient times with a supernatural implication. Like when Keith goes down into the basement, the female protagonist is just standing there watching and the door isn’t closing at all, then when she goes in the door magically starts closing. Couldn’t be the creature doing it. I know why they did this (to throw you off the plot of it being complete grounded in reality) but it was never explained what was happening with the door.
Also I disagree with some of your points. The characters were dumbed down in certain situations. Like when the female protagonist escapes to find the police and she’s explaining to them what happening, she’s comes off like a crazy crack head (which she even stated) but not once did she tell the police her phone and belongings were in the house because it was an Airbnb she rented. The director purposely dumbed her down to make her appear crazy to the police, and refrained from any intellectual attempts an actual person would say in trying to get help. The first thing I’d tell the police is that I rented the house through Airbnb.
As far as no one else being in the basement, I assumed cannibalism.
Yes all valid points. I also wondered about the back story where all the other women and babies went? I'm assuming the man killed the women, and with the babies none of them survived very long. They're living in dark tunnels with not enough adequate food and probably died of hypothermia, Detroit gets cold as fuck in winter. As far as the air bnb I think the other people were never hunted because they never discovered the underground tunnels. The monster kept out of sight when there were other people renting the house and probably only went out at night when there was nobody in the house, and probably only picked off other homeless people or prostitutes who would never be noticed missing or have anyone look for them.
She said they clean BEFORE someone comes in. Not AFTER.
@@DoorsToHideBehind156 she was creeping around before Keith and Tess found the door, though. She's the one who opened her door so she could see Keith having a nightmare.
... She was in the basement for two weeks with her only sustenance being Mothers breast milk. Of course she's going to act how she does... Traumatized, confused and malnourished. Of COURSE she wouldnt remember to tell them all that. I do find it weird they don't ask her about the cars or anything, though, like come on. I think she was so stymied they didn't believe her and worried about Justin Longs character that she was at a loss when the police thought she was just a homeless crackhead.
The hobo's last scene I saw that coming. His scene was filmed so good.
I was more pissed and annoyed with the main character. I almost turned it off after the troll woman appeared.
If born and raised in a cave and being severely incest and living a life of fighting in the dark, I think the brain muscle would weaken and physical muscles would strengthen. I thought her strength made sense.
Plot holes:
Why is she so strong
Why didnt she just go in the house when it was night time and take them. Seems she was already there.
Why didnt anyone report her missing.
Why did the homeless guy run and scream at her instead of just talking normal. Or tell her through the front door he just left. Lol
Most of the plot holes are mainly just stupid decisions. Like no one on earth would make the decisions they did.
How did no one notice the hole downstairs when they were selling the house to rent. There are so many things that make zero sense in this movie.
Your justifications that fix the plot holes are so weak. Just like the writing of this movie.
Where can I get yr MM Gains shirt? Thanx
NOBODY IN YOUR THEATER LAUGHED AT THE SCENE AT THE WATER TOWER?! I guess I lucked out with the crowed that watched the movie with us cause that shit had us all CACKLING! 😂😂😭😭
Absolutely loved it. What a great year for horror this has been. AND we still have Halloween Ends and Hellraiser coming. Jacked to the tits!
and pearl! 🙏🙏🙏
I think there was a lot like why didn’t she grab them when they were asleep if she comes out at night, how did the basement door magically open and close, Why did the homeless guy sleep there at night, why didn’t Tess prove she wasn’t crazy by telling them her DL number or social security number.
After being hit by a car and still being able to rip dudes arm off...
Saw it last night. Huge horror fan and it pleased me many ways. The actor who plays Tess was a favorite of mine and plus Justin long and bill skarsgard. It was a crazy movie but that’s what I like to see in horror. I want them to have comedy spliced in when done right and this one was definitely a good combination of tension/good scares and jump scares that actually work while also having Justin long cracking me the fuck up
100% agree!
Its "the pact" meets "wrong turn" meets "vacancy"
The score/sound effects are amazing.
10000% agree with you on your opinion on Justin Long as an actor in general, I think he’s so under appreciated.
