I mean… if it’s a gas station with rather standard security glass over the door… while someone with a good run up using their body could get through, I severely doubt the parasite modifies the human muscles so much that one can, from standing against the glass, break it that easily…
@@campbellhansen7533 it probably could cut it easily. In the movie the spikes cut through the radiator I'm pretty sure without even trying so getting through would not be too much of a hassle if it used spikes

I learned my lesson while driving through south Dakota once. I was driving through the great plains when I saw a guy just laying in the middle of the road. Luckily I was able to swerve out of the way, but as I slowed down like 5 guys started coming out of the grass and the guy in the road stood up. After that I haven't really stopped for people
@@Sergote12 well I was about an hour or 2 out from the nearest town so if I went off the road. I probably would have been killed by the group. If I didn't, and I went to the cops it would probably be designated as manslaughter or hopefully negligent driving.
As I recall, the director or writer behind this film mentioned that the parasite is unlikely to spread very far or very quickly because its sensory range is somewhat limited, relying mostly on the host's panicked movements after infection to spread quickly. So while it would be a huge threat in, say, a city, once it hits any kind of firebreak, the infection grinds to a halt and is purely reliant on an animal stumbling across it, getting infected, and managing to wander off far enough that the process can repeat itself. And since most animals would investigate face first, the time it would take for the infection to disable higher brain functions in most circumstances would probably be minutes, and any animal that casually brushed up against it would lose mobility in a few hours at most, becoming crippled and unable to expand the parasite's range any further, meaning the most the parasite can travel from its point of origin is a few kilometers before a sort of dead zone is established where all the local wildlife has been infected, but now the parasite is totally reliant on outside factors to spread further and may just gradually die off.
To be honest It wouldn't go outside the continent it originates from. If it originates in the Americas, even if the spread becomes amazingly big, since people would see what happens at some point it wouldn't travel by air or sea. So, if by some miracle it spreads through the whole continent, it would only stay in that continent. Same story with Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
@@jesusemmanuelcordero4509 Uh, you are aware Europe is basically connected BY LAND to the rest of the 'east' right? So basically half of the world is open to infection there.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Yeah, I agree with you (I think I didn't explain well). It's just that places like Indonesia (I think), Australia, Cuba, Madagascar, etc. Wouldn't be affected unless the virus is there from the beginning.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Open, but there is enough open and sparsely populated ground in Europe, or any other continent for that matter, for the infection to simply run out of momentum. Even somewhere as densely populated as China, India, or Japan would demonstrate this.
@@coolfloppa4033 I like to think that they were in disbelief of the situation that they were in mixed with panic so they were unable to think rationally

Fr like, ahat in the flying fuck am I gonna do against a zombie that can run both seemingly indefinitely and faster than most people. If its like TWD zombies though I'd just become a farmer until shit clears (if it ever starts with them slow asses)
would you rather run away and have a chance to live and survive, or be slowly bitten and either turned into a zombie, or eaten alive painfully and slowly?
@@BananaHoovyJ.Rabbit why did you limit his death options? you only gave him slow options, like getting bit or infected and turning. you have him slow painful death options instead of mentioning the quick and easy ways out. you do know they could just jump off a building or shoot themselves in the head, right? anyway, even with all those death options, i’d still choose to live lol you only get 1 life
he could have made the sponser transtition smoother if: the moment he sees the spikey parasite, he could have said, "those spikes are really sharp, but you know whats sharper? the sponser of this video, kamikoto knives"
I really like the appearence of the parasite, and how it affects people, it seems to be quite unique from other parasite movies. I also really like how the convict actually sacrifices himself, he may have been an asshole for kidnapping them and stuff but atleast he did the right thing and realized if he sacrificed himself the other two could survive, instead of all 3 of them dying. it takes a lot to override your survival instincts like that
The fact his arm was gone meant he had no chance of living anyway, we humans don't have instincts either. A person can starve themselves to death at will, going out taking out the threat to the only more able bodied people is the logical choice.
@@ShaggyTheClown17 I mean sure we can override instinct but it's sure as hell still there man. when people are scared, what do they do? hide, find a weapon, freeze. sure they can do whatever they want but that won't stop the feeling they want to hide and feel safe
@@thefluffyaj4119 Well a split decision isn't really the same as an instinct, anyone can panic of sorts with an overload of a feeling, even a good feeling, or something as simple as a knee jerk reaction. I remember one time I was having a nightmare about zombies, my wife unwitting to what I was going through..... decided to start doing a thing to me in my sleep.... and yea, when I woke up I immediately grabbed her arm and it took me a couple moments to come completely out of it and realize what was really going on xD Hell, I've had a couple bouts of transient global amniesia before n it was pretty frigin scary but I'd just go back to sleep n I'd have my memory back after waking up again
Dennis is chunky as heck, shooting a shotgun with just one arm while the other is ripped, took out the abomination and even survived the infestation, he deserves some respect.
He was pretty damn badass in " *Machete* " too, as the character "Sniper" who goes after Machete a few times and almost kills him every time. I also enjoyed his character in *True Detective* season 1 too; he was only in 2 episodes, but I liked him. He did his best... Same in *Joker* and *Boardwalk Empire* .
I really like Dennis. Going from a convicted felon to a self sacrificing hero. Even giving up the key to a stash to at least attempt to make amends for killing a man.
I was actually thinking the opposite. He kidnapped them and is responsible for them being in this situation. He shouldn't get credit for helping them out. A good redemption arc is fine, but I don't think this one works.
This is actually the martyr cliché and it's one of the worst and laziest ways to redeem a male character, simply by making them giving up their lives instead of making them face their mistakes. He didn't do anything to grow as a character or took responsibility for his actions, he simply died and that's supposed to mean that all of the bad shit that actually put them in that situation never happened? Nah man.

Honestly, Shea Wingham really knocked the acting out of the park as Dennis. Those gruesome screams when his arm is contorting right before they cut it off is just absolutely gutwrenching. I was also a fan of his redemption. Like, yeah he started out pretty bad but what he did in the end really changed my mind about his character. Great video, my dude. Glad to see this gem of a horror flick isn't lost to time.
@4:00 As a South African, I whole heartedly concur the moment you see that gun tapping the glass you bust a move like it's a NFS game.. 1. If he was gonna kill you to get the car he wouldn't tap the glass. 2. It's extremely difficult to hit a moving target especially one still accelerating.. 3. Handguns optimal range is under 50m, with that range being made possible with well trained and proficient shooters. 4. Any damage makes the vehicle more conspicuous and easier to identify.. 5. That revolver has 5 to 6 shots at best .. which means he would probably prefer using it only when necessary ie when there is someone else trying to shoot him
I always saw this and thought How tf have they not instantly took over a town or city within a week or month Because they are lethal instantly and spread instantly
i assumed this is like just starting because ya unless theres some cheesy thing like cant live in extreme cold or heat or something that kills it easily this would be an extinction level event assuming this spreads without slowing. your only hope is that people believe your reports and it started somewhere remote but the fact it can spread to animals and shit makes it to hard. can a bird still fly while infected? then gg humans
I think it's because it's attracted to heat it wouldn't know to move unless it sensed heat. atm it's not near enough to a city to sense the heat so it probably doesn't know how to get there/why it should.

@@kayvoncrenshaw1799 Im sorry to say but in the very first third of your reply you say that ANYONE thats has had ANY lust for a woman has committed adultery, that invalidates everything single person, hell every single creature in existence from going to heaven, because everything feels lust or has felt it at least once. Also if your only defense is that while you commit a sin that sends you to hell regardless how you live your life, since this would occur at puberty and you would not be able to control it at all, but big G man himself, disregards his own rules and hand waives them away because his son died a very terrible death some couple thousand years ago, how is that in any way reassuring that he will stick to anything else he says? Ya know, like that time he said that he loves all of creation, and he then drowned the entire world because a very tiny percentage of people annoyed him this one time. Or that time he told people to not eat some fruit but then deliberately moved his view away from them and left an incredible dangerous snake-like creature free reign in his garden to seduce naïve people into doings things, and then immediately jumping out of the bushes to catch the people in the act and banishing them, but leaving the snake alone even that it was the cause of the rule break in the first place. For a bunch of people who love to tell people to read their holy book and ponder and follow its meanings, you all really don't follow your own advice, do you? Also i have to add, the big G man can't give you eternal life if you have to die to get it in the first place, thats not a free gift of eternal life, thats becoming an undead creature for the rest of eternity.

Between all mammals, most likely all avians, and fish yea this would be an instant game over for the planet. Even worse if they could infect insects but let's go to insanity difficulty xD
Welp every parasites and hivemind's common enemy is always fire. Just napalm the hell out of them. Edit: Also in the video the splinter parasite jumped at the fire without any hesitation, we could probably just put large campfires to lure them out and burn them at the same time.
@@coolice5786 you say this but once they infect 3 rats they would just rush you and if even 1 of there small arms got to you You would be dead as it rips through flesh instantly and infects faster
That depends a lot on stuff. The thing seeks heat + nourishment. It might not be game over for the planet as you think it would. Option A (unlikely): The splinters kill everything. We got it to kill all animal life... now what? it starves. This leaves only plants to fill the ecological niches, that and everything the splinters did not prey on. The whole evolution cycle might restart from plankton, amoeba and stuff. Option B: The splinters kill off themselves. Based on erroneous behaviors and lack of protections, the splinters stack on road, metal, and others hot surfaces during the day (assuming it is in a warmer climate.) The infection area stays small and you end with a black burnt goo made of dead splinters and their waste(self poisoning) Option C: Ecological equilibrium is achieved, with the splinters naturally able to stay alive while not wiping everything at once. The goo could migrate involuntary, destroying ecological niches that would be reset upon the splinters completely leaving a given area. Just my theorycraft of how things would pan out.
Well since our protagonists know Heat distracts them, just put raging fires around secluded parts of the world and eventually they'll run into the fire and burn out. Also, we know that small arms don't work, but what about cruise misses, or AC-130s?
I feel like Nerd Explains should do Dead Space: Downfall just to hear his sarcastic belittling take on how inept the Ishimura crew was at their jobs. Also maybe get more interesting survival tips based around space travel and eldritch abominations.
Dead Space isn't eldritch. The markers emit a signal/wavelength that reprograms tissue. This tissue then looks to combine to form a super organism/super mind. Ironically the same technique used in this process can be used to destroy cellular tissue. Which is something in real life we are closer too technologically. There is no survival of markers BTW. Ditch em or leave. Those are your options.
@@joshuakusuma5953 That ends to occur due to proximity to a marker and after prolonged exposure. This happens to creative or intelligent people (so I'm pretty screwed), so the average person is safe so long as they get rid of the marker or remove themselves from its proximity fast. I'm just going to assume the average person doesn't have the capacity to incinerate these things which is required for their destruction. Though if you do, do so.
@@Kevin7557 actually if you stay close to a marker you will be relatively safe due to its dead space field which keeps necromorphs at bay. The other issue is that the markers may be semi sentient themselves. Despite their purpose is to spread the infection to create more moons. The red marker In the first game seems to actually try to aid Isaac. His marker hallucination of Nicole for example actively aiding him in the game. The marker seemed to want to contain the infection on the planet. More specifically the hive mind. Which doesn’t make much sense unless the marker has some sort of intelligence of its own in addition to being a conduit for the moons.
It’s actually not hard to defend against squirrels despite their speed. The issue comes from not wanting to hurt them (as pets). My mom has one and honestly not that big a deal.

Wouldn't they really have a chance to beat the parasyte if they started a fire in the wood I mean, we saw that the thing just jumped into the fire because it felt attracted to the heat. So wouldn't that kill every parasyte in that zone?
No because it’s only the dumb ones that go into fire like the hand. People with eyes and ear can function like a human, so they wouldn’t be dumb enough to go into the fire, the parasite only would if I didn’t have senses like a human. Aka the hand or such like it

But chances are big that this would be a end of the world, becouse this can destroy every living creature and nature, but Antarctica would be a safe place I believe.
Roanoke Gaming did a video on these. His theory is that the parasite would be some type of metallic fungus native to Earth. He thinks that it lived deep underground and absorbed iron and it was released by oil drilling. It's not naturally predatory or parasitic, but rather it is mobile and is drawn to warm sources of iron which just so happen to be mammals.

Of course, the couple could always return with some gas cans and start a forest fire in multiple spots. Eventually, the multiple fires would reach one another, and a proper blaze would begin. The parasite would then jump into the flames, and if the fire covers a large enough area it would likely be thorough enough.

Man, as far as zombie like pathogens go i REALLY like this one, 9/10! It gets a bit outlandish with the extent of the parasites abilities, but a lot of that seems to be remedied with it having complex behaviors and weaknesses which were highlighted in the more tactical and then last ditch methods the survivors had to use to defeat it instead of your typical guns blazing or just hiding tactics which are just wayyyy too overused at this point. The "parasite" reminds me of the Flood from Halo mixed with The Thing and a more stereotypical zombie concept, and the spikes, i love that detail and how they did it, I've seen my fair share of spikey zombies but this one actually did the concept justice and then some.
I find it a really cool idea to use ferrofluid for monster blood/goop. If you don't know, ferrofluid is a black liquid which has little magnetic particles in it, when you hold a magnet under it it spikes out in all directions. If some of these effects weren't done practically using ferrofluid I'm pretty certain it's at least based on how it looks.
Smooth things in the world: 1:This Man's talking 2: The transition of the movie to the Sponsor of the video Literally I thought that knife scenario belongs to the Splinter movie XD
@Dante Trice then again you have to realise these are parasites, if there are corpses they will surely just be corpses with no parasites since the nuclear bomb practically lights everything on fire, atleast to a certain circumference.
@Dante Trice for the record I did say nukes, and also their is a certain radius were e everything is super hot and on fire which kills the parasites since parasites are basically human, and heat/fire is top notch lethal cancer to them. That is why I said nukes are useful, especially if the infection is only over a small area. Any parasites left will be napalmed or exploded with fire bombs since bullets don't work.
@Dante Trice and also the fire or heat zone is bigger than the evaporated radius. Also for a starting parasite a city is pretty gigantic, I mean look at things like NYC or Hong Kong. And also if nukes don't wipe out a big enough area how are we supposed to wipe out the parasites with weapons that wipe out even smaller areas, just saying we start with nukes and whatever is left we napalm and explode th e heck out of it. We could also use another type of nuke called a thermal nuclear bomb in which it is more effective at exploding and igniting things which would take out even more parasites than just a regular nuke.
I wish there were more to this movie, seems like a short film extended to feature length. It's a pretty unique take on zombies/parasitic body horror. I'd give it a 6.5/10
Only 6.5? With the surprisingly good acting, tight and tense story, impressively smart decisions, brutal and gnarly effects, and unique but interesting take on zombies, this movie is at the very *least* an 8/10.
@@MaryRoeRussel The acting was good, just good though. The premise is great but the finished product doesn't explore it enough for my liking. Like I said, it seems like a short film worth of content drawn out to 80 minutes. The effects are quite good, though I don't personally find the contortionist/parkour zombie very interesting or realistic. I have to strongly disagree with the point about decision making of the characters. Stopping for the girl. Getting so close to infection with 0 PPE and he's supposed to be a biology student. Trying to light a bright green forest on fire at a gas station with lighter fluid. The criminal trying to save his clearly deceased and mangled gf. Decreasing his body temp to 90°f while a decent enough idea, would've actually killed him faster. A freezing person continues to get colder for a while even when trying to warm up, "after drop" it's called. Your extremities would get warmer while your core gets colder potentially causing circulatory collapse. All that being said, I think 6.5 is extremely fair for a low budget film.
I like watching your original videos then your new ones every now and then. You can hear a huge difference in your narration and communication skills improve between the videos. It's nice seeing you change into who you are
You should totally do Pontypool cause I think the nature of the infection makes a channel like this have a unique perspective and possibly an inherent weakness
You’d expect the military to have also developed a fail safe in case of an unintended outbreak, considering how the DoD plans for even zombie outbreaks- like why would you not have some kind of antibody or antiviral developed to treat it in the early stages. But, movies will be movies.

Would depend on the type of alcohol sold. Most isn't flammable unless it is very strong. I think like 151-proof or 75% alcohol content. Otherwise the water/not alcohol components prevent it from actually being flammable. Rubbing alcohol is definitely flammable, and I have seen some gas stations which sell it. Just very rare to see alcohol stronger than around 16% ABV sold at gas stations.

HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, ”Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” if you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H***. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God's law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you!
“I wouldn’t place too much confidence in that glass.” Horror flick or not, that’s just all around good advice.
I mean… if it’s a gas station with rather standard security glass over the door… while someone with a good run up using their body could get through, I severely doubt the parasite modifies the human muscles so much that one can, from standing against the glass, break it that easily…

I learned my lesson while driving through south Dakota once. I was driving through the great plains when I saw a guy just laying in the middle of the road. Luckily I was able to swerve out of the way, but as I slowed down like 5 guys started coming out of the grass and the guy in the road stood up. After that I haven't really stopped for people

Actually factually correct
As I recall, the director or writer behind this film mentioned that the parasite is unlikely to spread very far or very quickly because its sensory range is somewhat limited, relying mostly on the host's panicked movements after infection to spread quickly. So while it would be a huge threat in, say, a city, once it hits any kind of firebreak, the infection grinds to a halt and is purely reliant on an animal stumbling across it, getting infected, and managing to wander off far enough that the process can repeat itself. And since most animals would investigate face first, the time it would take for the infection to disable higher brain functions in most circumstances would probably be minutes, and any animal that casually brushed up against it would lose mobility in a few hours at most, becoming crippled and unable to expand the parasite's range any further, meaning the most the parasite can travel from its point of origin is a few kilometers before a sort of dead zone is established where all the local wildlife has been infected, but now the parasite is totally reliant on outside factors to spread further and may just gradually die off.
Wow this is interesting. Thanks for the info man 👍
To be honest It wouldn't go outside the continent it originates from. If it originates in the Americas, even if the spread becomes amazingly big, since people would see what happens at some point it wouldn't travel by air or sea. So, if by some miracle it spreads through the whole continent, it would only stay in that continent. Same story with Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
@@jesusemmanuelcordero4509 Uh, you are aware Europe is basically connected BY LAND to the rest of the 'east' right? So basically half of the world is open to infection there.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Yeah, I agree with you (I think I didn't explain well). It's just that places like Indonesia (I think), Australia, Cuba, Madagascar, etc. Wouldn't be affected unless the virus is there from the beginning.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Open, but there is enough open and sparsely populated ground in Europe, or any other continent for that matter, for the infection to simply run out of momentum. Even somewhere as densely populated as China, India, or Japan would demonstrate this.

@@umbrellaguy6934 its such a good one too honestly underrated.
Yeah this guy does an amazing job.
I really like the appearence of the parasite, and how it affects people, it seems to be quite unique from other parasite movies. I also really like how the convict actually sacrifices himself, he may have been an asshole for kidnapping them and stuff but atleast he did the right thing and realized if he sacrificed himself the other two could survive, instead of all 3 of them dying. it takes a lot to override your survival instincts like that
I would've gone for a hailmary attempt to get to a hospital if I was in the convict's situation.
The fact his arm was gone meant he had no chance of living anyway, we humans don't have instincts either. A person can starve themselves to death at will, going out taking out the threat to the only more able bodied people is the logical choice.
@@ShaggyTheClown17 I mean sure we can override instinct but it's sure as hell still there man. when people are scared, what do they do? hide, find a weapon, freeze. sure they can do whatever they want but that won't stop the feeling they want to hide and feel safe
@@thefluffyaj4119 Well a split decision isn't really the same as an instinct, anyone can panic of sorts with an overload of a feeling, even a good feeling, or something as simple as a knee jerk reaction.
I remember one time I was having a nightmare about zombies, my wife unwitting to what I was going through..... decided to start doing a thing to me in my sleep.... and yea, when I woke up I immediately grabbed her arm and it took me a couple moments to come completely out of it and realize what was really going on xD Hell, I've had a couple bouts of transient global amniesia before n it was pretty frigin scary but I'd just go back to sleep n I'd have my memory back after waking up again

I really like Dennis. Going from a convicted felon to a self sacrificing hero. Even giving up the key to a stash to at least attempt to make amends for killing a man.
I was actually thinking the opposite. He kidnapped them and is responsible for them being in this situation. He shouldn't get credit for helping them out. A good redemption arc is fine, but I don't think this one works.
@@john_blues
I think he's a solid net zero.
This is actually the martyr cliché and it's one of the worst and laziest ways to redeem a male character, simply by making them giving up their lives instead of making them face their mistakes.

@4:00 As a South African, I whole heartedly concur the moment you see that gun tapping the glass you bust a move like it's a NFS game.. 1. If he was gonna kill you to get the car he wouldn't tap the glass. 2. It's extremely difficult to hit a moving target especially one still accelerating.. 3. Handguns optimal range is under 50m, with that range being made possible with well trained and proficient shooters. 4. Any damage makes the vehicle more conspicuous and easier to identify.. 5. That revolver has 5 to 6 shots at best .. which means he would probably prefer using it only when necessary ie when there is someone else trying to shoot him
I always saw this and thought
How tf have they not instantly took over a town or city within a week or month
Because they are lethal instantly and spread instantly
Probably like the first day of infection.
@Fax stop it
i assumed this is like just starting because ya unless theres some cheesy thing like cant live in extreme cold or heat or something that kills it easily this would be an extinction level event assuming this spreads without slowing. your only hope is that people believe your reports and it started somewhere remote but the fact it can spread to animals and shit makes it to hard. can a bird still fly while infected? then gg humans
I think it's because it's attracted to heat it wouldn't know to move unless it sensed heat. atm it's not near enough to a city to sense the heat so it probably doesn't know how to get there/why it should.

@@kayvoncrenshaw1799 Im sorry to say but in the very first third of your reply you say that ANYONE thats has had ANY lust for a woman has committed adultery, that invalidates everything single person, hell every single creature in existence from going to heaven, because everything feels lust or has felt it at least once.
Also if your only defense is that while you commit a sin that sends you to hell regardless how you live your life, since this would occur at puberty and you would not be able to control it at all, but big G man himself, disregards his own rules and hand waives them away because his son died a very terrible death some couple thousand years ago, how is that in any way reassuring that he will stick to anything else he says?
Ya know, like that time he said that he loves all of creation, and he then drowned the entire world because a very tiny percentage of people annoyed him this one time.
Or that time he told people to not eat some fruit but then deliberately moved his view away from them and left an incredible dangerous snake-like creature free reign in his garden to seduce naïve people into doings things, and then immediately jumping out of the bushes to catch the people in the act and banishing them, but leaving the snake alone even that it was the cause of the rule break in the first place.
For a bunch of people who love to tell people to read their holy book and ponder and follow its meanings, you all really don't follow your own advice, do you?
Also i have to add, the big G man can't give you eternal life if you have to die to get it in the first place, thats not a free gift of eternal life, thats becoming an undead creature for the rest of eternity.

Between all mammals, most likely all avians, and fish yea this would be an instant game over for the planet. Even worse if they could infect insects but let's go to insanity difficulty xD
Welp every parasites and hivemind's common enemy is always fire. Just napalm the hell out of them.
Edit: Also in the video the splinter parasite jumped at the fire without any hesitation, we could probably just put large campfires to lure them out and burn them at the same time.
@@coolice5786 you say this but once they infect 3 rats they would just rush you and if even 1 of there small arms got to you
You would be dead as it rips through flesh instantly and infects faster
That depends a lot on stuff. The thing seeks heat + nourishment. It might not be game over for the planet as you think it would.
Option A (unlikely): The splinters kill everything. We got it to kill all animal life... now what? it starves. This leaves only plants to fill the ecological niches, that and everything the splinters did not prey on. The whole evolution cycle might restart from plankton, amoeba and stuff.
Option B: The splinters kill off themselves. Based on erroneous behaviors and lack of protections, the splinters stack on road, metal, and others hot surfaces during the day (assuming it is in a warmer climate.) The infection area stays small and you end with a black burnt goo made of dead splinters and their waste(self poisoning)
Option C: Ecological equilibrium is achieved, with the splinters naturally able to stay alive while not wiping everything at once. The goo could migrate involuntary, destroying ecological niches that would be reset upon the splinters completely leaving a given area.
Just my theorycraft of how things would pan out.
Insects & fish are cold blooded so they wouldn't attract the parasite
Well since our protagonists know Heat distracts them, just put raging fires around secluded parts of the world and eventually they'll run into the fire and burn out.
Also, we know that small arms don't work, but what about cruise misses, or AC-130s?
My favourite part was when their 4Runner turned into a land cruiser. Crazy how this splinter monster works

Dead Space isn't eldritch. The markers emit a signal/wavelength that reprograms tissue. This tissue then looks to combine to form a super organism/super mind.
Ironically the same technique used in this process can be used to destroy cellular tissue. Which is something in real life we are closer too technologically.
There is no survival of markers BTW. Ditch em or leave. Those are your options.

@@joshuakusuma5953 That ends to occur due to proximity to a marker and after prolonged exposure. This happens to creative or intelligent people (so I'm pretty screwed), so the average person is safe so long as they get rid of the marker or remove themselves from its proximity fast.
I'm just going to assume the average person doesn't have the capacity to incinerate these things which is required for their destruction. Though if you do, do so.
@@Kevin7557 Dead Space isn't eldritch? brethren moons are the very definition of an eldritch creature
@@Kevin7557 actually if you stay close to a marker you will be relatively safe due to its dead space field which keeps necromorphs at bay. The other issue is that the markers may be semi sentient themselves. Despite their purpose is to spread the infection to create more moons. The red marker In the first game seems to actually try to aid Isaac. His marker hallucination of Nicole for example actively aiding him in the game. The marker seemed to want to contain the infection on the planet. More specifically the hive mind. Which doesn’t make much sense unless the marker has some sort of intelligence of its own in addition to being a conduit for the moons.
It’s actually not hard to defend against squirrels despite their speed. The issue comes from not wanting to hurt them (as pets). My mom has one and honestly not that big a deal.

I’m so happy you slowed down footage! All the cool and graphic parts of this movie are on such short sequences that we never really goof a great look at the splinter. You’re also the first person I’ve watched about this movie to show the second half of the movie cause I’ve never seen the monster going inside and such
The shakycam in this movie is so severe that it's giving me a headache. I can't imagine how painful it was to watch in full on a larger screen.
From what I remember of the movie it wasn’t too bad and mostly during the “zombie” scenes which I think was either to hide the effects or tension regardless it didn’t make me feel dizzy or anything but I can understand that it does for some people
HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, ”Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” if you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H***. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God's law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you!

Wouldn't they really have a chance to beat the parasyte if they started a fire in the wood
I mean, we saw that the thing just jumped into the fire because it felt attracted to the heat. So wouldn't that kill every parasyte in that zone?
No because it’s only the dumb ones that go into fire like the hand. People with eyes and ear can function like a human, so they wouldn’t be dumb enough to go into the fire, the parasite only would if I didn’t have senses like a human. Aka the hand or such like it

Remember seeing this on scifi way back then. What a horrendous way to die. Movie is a gem that deserves to be seen more.
I was going to skip this ad but I sure do love watching blades get made.
Do you watch forged in fire, because if you don't go check it out
@@thenexus8384 thanks for the recommendation, I saw there's a new season on Netflix
This is probably more terrifying than regular zombies at least zombies can die from guns
And most zombies you might be able to wrestle off if they get to you, with these if just one of those spines sticks in you you're a gonner.
They need to make a zombie apocalypse sequel with this concept.
It's terrifying!
I've heard about this movie for years but never saw a scene from it until now. Dude..this movie gave the zombie genre a new spin to it. I like it
I think this movie is an interesting change on the "Zombie" genre. I would've liked to see a sequel(obviously called Splinter 2), set after the Parasite infects more hosts and attempts to take over all living things. Maybe even some TV series.
@ADR is Offline Why do you spam in yt comments section? :&
The parasite has such a good spooky design. I wish it went somewhere
Same these are the scariest zombie type things I've ever seen
@@ErinJeanette This are the worst zombies I think. And I watched a lot of zombie movies, probably 90% of a existing ones. And I should have a experience about this. But I think there is a way a man could survive these zombies. Underground bunker, nuclear bombs, tanks, submarines and air force are the best weapon against this. But chances are big that this would be a end of the world, becouse this can destroy every living creature and nature, but Antarctica would be a safe place I believe.
Roanoke Gaming did a video on these.
His theory is that the parasite would be some type of metallic fungus native to Earth.
He thinks that it lived deep underground and absorbed iron and it was released by oil drilling. It's not naturally predatory or parasitic, but rather it is mobile and is drawn to warm sources of iron which just so happen to be mammals.

@@kayvoncrenshaw1799 nobody cares
Of course, the couple could always return with some gas cans and start a forest fire in multiple spots. Eventually, the multiple fires would reach one another, and a proper blaze would begin. The parasite would then jump into the flames, and if the fire covers a large enough area it would likely be thorough enough.
Before someone has caught some of the thing though? Humans see things kill other humans and often weaponize them or try and fail.
Imagine you’re in a survival situation with your friend and you guys turn to a nerd explains video for advice and nerd explains says “ I would eat my friend” and you both just stare at each other awkwardly. Lmao

@@AnEnormousNerd I would still like to see him do the video. Also there’s like 7 deaths, and he’s covered movies with not too much more of a body count
@@heathenpride7931 I mean, true, I'm just not sure how interesting the survival guide would be. It's literally just 'don't live in the place haunted by evil colours'.
Man, as far as zombie like pathogens go i REALLY like this one, 9/10!
It gets a bit outlandish with the extent of the parasites abilities, but a lot of that seems to be remedied with it having complex behaviors and weaknesses which were highlighted in the more tactical and then last ditch methods the survivors had to use to defeat it instead of your typical guns blazing or just hiding tactics which are just wayyyy too overused at this point.
The "parasite" reminds me of the Flood from Halo mixed with The Thing and a more stereotypical zombie concept, and the spikes, i love that detail and how they did it, I've seen my fair share of spikey zombies but this one actually did the concept justice and then some.
"... attacks anything that gives off heat, what would you do?" put ice on me.

As an Australian I love to see documentary’s about our country! Also Nerd has by far the smoothest advertising transitions I’ve seen.
I find it a really cool idea to use ferrofluid for monster blood/goop.
If you don't know, ferrofluid is a black liquid which has little magnetic particles in it, when you hold a magnet under it it spikes out in all directions. If some of these effects weren't done practically using ferrofluid I'm pretty certain it's at least based on how it looks.

@@willyeeton4390 *looks at flamethrowera on right, and napalms on left, and finally looks at nukes in front of me*
@Dante Trice then again you have to realise these are parasites, if there are corpses they will surely just be corpses with no parasites since the nuclear bomb practically lights everything on fire, atleast to a certain circumference.
@Dante Trice for the record I did say nukes, and also their is a certain radius were e everything is super hot and on fire which kills the parasites since parasites are basically human, and heat/fire is top notch lethal cancer to them. That is why I said nukes are useful, especially if the infection is only over a small area. Any parasites left will be napalmed or exploded with fire bombs since bullets don't work.
@Dante Trice and also the fire or heat zone is bigger than the evaporated radius. Also for a starting parasite a city is pretty gigantic, I mean look at things like NYC or Hong Kong. And also if nukes don't wipe out a big enough area how are we supposed to wipe out the parasites with weapons that wipe out even smaller areas, just saying we start with nukes and whatever is left we napalm and explode th e heck out of it. We could also use another type of nuke called a thermal nuclear bomb in which it is more effective at exploding and igniting things which would take out even more parasites than just a regular nuke.
I wish there were more to this movie, seems like a short film extended to feature length. It's a pretty unique take on zombies/parasitic body horror. I'd give it a 6.5/10
Only 6.5? With the surprisingly good acting, tight and tense story, impressively smart decisions, brutal and gnarly effects, and unique but interesting take on zombies, this movie is at the very *least* an 8/10.
@@MaryRoeRussel The acting was good, just good though. The premise is great but the finished product doesn't explore it enough for my liking. Like I said, it seems like a short film worth of content drawn out to 80 minutes. The effects are quite good, though I don't personally find the contortionist/parkour zombie very interesting or realistic. I have to strongly disagree with the point about decision making of the characters. Stopping for the girl. Getting so close to infection with 0 PPE and he's supposed to be a biology student. Trying to light a bright green forest on fire at a gas station with lighter fluid. The criminal trying to save his clearly deceased and mangled gf. Decreasing his body temp to 90°f while a decent enough idea, would've actually killed him faster. A freezing person continues to get colder for a while even when trying to warm up, "after drop" it's called. Your extremities would get warmer while your core gets colder potentially causing circulatory collapse. All that being said, I think 6.5 is extremely fair for a low budget film.
I like watching your original videos then your new ones every now and then. You can hear a huge difference in your narration and communication skills improve between the videos. It's nice seeing you change into who you are
Congrats on being so close to 1 million, its well deserved!
You should totally do Pontypool cause I think the nature of the infection makes a channel like this have a unique perspective and possibly an inherent weakness
Yes, Pontypool would be awesome!
You’d expect the military to have also developed a fail safe in case of an unintended outbreak, considering how the DoD plans for even zombie outbreaks- like why would you not have some kind of antibody or antiviral developed to treat it in the early stages. But, movies will be movies.
Yesssa. Finally this movie ia getting more recognition. Saw it when I was younger and I loved it and hardly anyone talks about it.
16:03 diesel doesnt actually burn like that. Its far less volatile than gasoline, so that wouldnt have even started a fire.

I really dig this movie. It’s a neat creature feature/zombie flick and they actually do some smart things instead of just dying stupidly one by one. Also the crim is a great character actor. Can’t ever remember his name but he’s cool.

Gas stations sell alcohol and lighters while they have cloth(shirts), they could have just made Molotov cocktails.
Would depend on the type of alcohol sold. Most isn't flammable unless it is very strong. I think like 151-proof or 75% alcohol content. Otherwise the water/not alcohol components prevent it from actually being flammable. Rubbing alcohol is definitely flammable, and I have seen some gas stations which sell it. Just very rare to see alcohol stronger than around 16% ABV sold at gas stations.
Alcoholic drinks don't have enough alcohol to burn like that. Even strong liquors like vodka and whiskey are only 40% alcohol and 60% water.
@@Thematic2177 bust out the everclear! 😂 to be fair that's basically rubbing alcohol already lol
@@xorphana Unless they could distill alcohol with stuff in fuel stations. Maybe some sell pots, radiator hoses, tools... Almost everyone I've been in sells grill charcoal, so heat is done and water can be a coolant.
You can't actually make a Molotov Cocktail with drinking alcohol. You have to use gasoline to make an effective petrol bomb.
Just wondering what I was going to watch and nerdexplains uploaded 1 minute ago. This is going to be a good day.

Sadly… diesel doesn’t erupt when shot. That’s why in the plains of Africa in WWII Deisel powered Tanks were superior, because they wouldn’t erupt when shot unlike gas engines
Yeah, you can even drop a lit cigarette in a puddle of petrol/gasoline and it won't burst into flames.
