As someone who worked in a corn maze, I have one major gripe with this movie: Corn leaves fucking hurt. They cut you like nobody’s business, even if you’re just in there for a bit. Doing anything other than casually going through it will get you cut. And, here’s the kicker, corn has major oils on its leaves. You get cut by one of those things, and it stings like hell because of the oil on the leaves. Corn mazes also cultivate a very special kind of mushroom which is only found in corn mazes. In peak season, the stuff is all over the place. I’m not exactly sure if you can do anything with them, but it’s worth noting that I see none in this movie.
@@torito2182 Though unless you already knew this. Generally not a good idea to eat Mushrooms unless you know. Same goes for really any unidentified plants. There's a lot of poisonous things out there. Hell, could eat the bugs that are crawling on the rotten corn. Cook them up and Bugs give great protein. Not much calories, but not like there's any shortage of them
I love the fact that whenever they are still, they talk in a clearing, and whenever they are moving its a path. but whenever it's like an Arial or top shot, there are no paths or clearings. All the stalks are close together
@True_Scu well yeah but still you look around no gaps then there is spontaneously one but yeah they need to get shots and all and not be so up close but it's just bad like at least make the corn go all over the place not in perfect rows 2 inches apart but come on at least make it look descent
Just a small idea here towards the end with the shipping container: climb on top of it. Easily defendable spot where you can kick the killer in the face and if need be, you can burn the corn with the match as well.
Might have saved the guy, but a super soldier would eventually get up there. I’m amazed she managed to push him in the container. Even with him panicking about the fire
@@socketyellow3 the super soldier would still have to take a moment to get up there, and it isn't exactly being quiet at the moment. The height advantage won't save you, but it can buy you a few precious seconds.
I’d love to see Netflix produce a horror film with Nerd Explains and have it just end after 60seconds when the character makes a sensible decision and avoids getting involved.
Jordan Peele has basically proved that you can have an entertaining horror film with wise protagonists. A series wouldn’t be too hard; A seemingly inescapable situation (i.e. no law enforcement, no outside contact, and high stakes for avoiding/leaving the situation) is all they need to make this interesting.
@@hmxbox they didn't pick apart the joke, they just explained that although most horror movies thrive on stupid protagonists, there can still be good horror movies with wise protagonists. they also explained what kind of situations can allow wise protagonists. "cabin in the woods" type movies don't allow smart protagonists because the answer is always "call emergency services and/or leave". your joke was good, but no need to be snarky to someone who makes a sensible response.
I appreciate that the military dude, even with the red angry serum, was able to stay a good teammate and never actually hurt any of the other good characters. He would have straight up killed the main bad guy had he not fallen in a trap. Why did they not immediately give him the knife? Why would they allow the 2 short girls to carry the knife when the group literally had a soldier in it smh
Spoiler alert: post credit scene Ala Avengers MCU style at the end of this movie, army guy succumbs to the effects of the red angry serum and becomes the thing that he had fought that was trying to kill them, and he tracks down and kills none other than......ANNOYING BRIT GIRL!!! (Grabs her by the neck and breaks it in two, and let's out a savage menacing feral Primal growl whilst doing it)
Because survival people know how to do without. Give the close range weapons to the people who can not be trusted with long range weapons(shooting each other ya know), and get yourself something else.
i think i would be a bit wary of giving a soldier i don’t know a weapon, since you don’t know if they are suffering from PTSD. i also think that the people will no combat experience will most likely need the protection more, but then again they could be more easily disarmed and may not be able to use the weapon as effectively. best to try to find a weapon for everyone!
One thing to note about wall-following is that it only works on simple/fair mazes. Another method called Trémaux's algorithm will get you out of complex mazes (like with disconnected sections) every time though! But it definitely wouldn’t be the fastest way out. Great video as always!!!!
Inb4 A few years from now, Nerd goes insane from making so many vids about dumb survivors. He then becomes an irl jigsaw; making the ultimate death game using his youtube experience talking about death games. However, instead of some moral speech for each of the characters, he just continues to roast tf out of them like usual.
Yeah, commentating over a PA system about how dumb the victims are. Then telling them what they SHOULD have done as they take their last breath. Unless he fucks up and chooses someone that's seen all his and 'How To Beat's videos.
If I found myself in a giant maze and had to solve puzzles to get out what would I do? Idk, probably just walk through the cornfield in one direction. Either that or die lmao
@@ftgodlygoose4718Cornfields can stretch for miles actually. It could very well take someone a full day to walk from end to end of the largest cornfield in a straight line
@@ftgodlygoose4718 this maze does seem to be in a different type of underground “dimension” situation. He didn’t show it in this review but I’m sure you noticed during the ending when watching the movie, the pan out showed this field was like lowkey under a green patch grid on the map. So kinda like some Area 51 $hit. Think: Driving through the desert & you see like those couple of green spaces..? Literally under that. So it’s no wonder the corn field was never ending. And like home girl realized at the end end as post-mid-credits there is no way out. They basically have to take you out (given you complete the final task ig).
If I described this as the mutant love child of Saw and Predator I would probably making this sound much better than it actually is. Because it's a truly painful experience to sit through such spurious tripe. It becomes borderline parody when you see the guy covered in mud coming face to face with this strange humanoid jungle…predator…yeah it's basically that scene from Predator just really atrociously done. Also the glasses girl in the movie really got on my nerves!
There was a film called Cube similar to this. Randoms wake up alone in cube shaped rooms. Some are death traps, and some are safe. Each person was picked because they had a necessary skill set to navigate, like an architect who worked on part of the structure or math major to decipher the clues to determine safe rooms or skills needed to keep the group together, like a cop for leadership or a psychiatrist to tend to the group's mental health. However, each was also selected due to a flaw. The cop was violent and had a thing for young girls. The math expert was just a high-school girl, and prone to be emotional, the shrink was a conspiracy nut. So each had a needed skill, but each had a flaw that could tear the group apart.
@@RequiemPoete the original cube movie is far better than this though, because all the characters feel real, and you can actually emotionally attach to them. they are very similar plot wise, I just wish this movie was even close to as good as cube
I wouldn’t die at first but i would propably traumatise the real villain because I would just default to killing the other people so i can eat them and solve all the puzzles myself, then I would die doing the puzzles cause realistically you can't predict everything, the people in the movies are just insanely lucky most of the time
Honestly, if this movie had a twist that revealed Sam had been actively trying to get everyone around her killed for some reason, not only would I have believed it, it would have made the movie a lot better.
the guy that first runs into the woman just has the most grin EVER. - I am sorry if the actor does that irl, but in a situation like this it'd make me feel like his friends will ambush me or so 😂
@@kitsnap1228 the word MAIZE is a just another word for corn, though I only remembered that fact so readily because Fallout New Vegas has a corn like plant with cobs of 'corn' named Maize.
Correction: the hug the same wall method to maze solving only works assuming the exist isn't at the center requiring you to cross a hallway. The hug a wall method can and will lead you in circles.
I love how people treat corn fields like their trapped by steel walls lmao I’d pick a direction and keep walking forward 😂 it’s like tall grass…if you just keep walking forward you’ll get out of the corn 😂
I use the left hand trick in Minecraft, always placing torches on the left wall, and then keeping them on my right to go home 😅 your advice has never really saved my life, but at least some of it is useful day-to-day. Thanks man!
I found it interesting Tyler was the only one of the group who looked fresh as a daisy. I figured the 1st “victim” she met being the guy made sense. But then I realized none of them really made sense to be the perpetrator
I love your videos, but watching them makes me thankful I don't live on the same street as you; over the fear I'd open my window one night to find you watching me like the corn maze creature man to make sure I don't have valuable resources you can take when the world plunges into tarkov 2.0
Okay hear me out.... What if when they made the campfire you asked for the knife and cut enough of the corn in a big enough circular space to then set everything on fire? Because😔I might as well fight my way out in a blaze. "Cutting the corn with everyone else"
The thing that bothers me about most characters in these films, is that there is no communication between anyone. If you found a special item or clue, tell someone!
I just started driving the school buddy and am scared of being stuck in a difficult position but not I’m paying more attention to your videos and taking notes lol
this channel saves me the time that would have been wasted watching poorly written movies like this, thanks for being honest about the braindead characters and plot holes in these "Wonderful films"
