As a person with autism, I can't help but wonder how easily offended I would be by this movie... EDIT: Having finished watching this review, I've concluded that I'd be super offended. Time to buy a ticket.
+Foster Akinbrij I feel part of that; I wish my friends were down with going out and watching shitty movies and then just trashing them afterwards - but I guess if I did have that I wouldn't come here so...
Aw man, I heard "Grand Canyon ghosts" and got all excited. Like, "oh, I bet there are gonna be some sweet environment shots, lots of nature, and good old slow-paced horror". Suppose not.
Oh my god, the marker thing reminds me of how my friends grandpa called every Asian kid we were friends with 'oriental' looks like he needed to update his markers XD great review lmao
Was anyone first extremely excited seeing the trailer title when it first released on youtube, then immediately disappointed and uninterested the moment they realized it was just a shitty ghost flick that had nothing with the comic series "The Darkness"? Seriously, when are we going to get a Darkness movie?
I'm honestly sick of PG-13 horror films. The point of horror movies is to SCARE people including kids. I just can't explain it right now, not just cause my head hurts. Also, this had Burke from Aliens?!
@@trevorhensley3185 PG horror films and G Horror films can both be scary. The problem isn't the lack of an R rating, the problem is that PG-13 is made by people that think that boobs and blood make a movie scary, and than make a movie that would only have that going for it, and cut it out.
22:10 lol wait maybe the film was about them finding their spirit animals?? Most animals in native culture coyotes crows wolfs are suppose to be there to guide you not eat you...
+Dylan Paterson They didn't fail. The lead guy dropped out for a few years to deal with his raging drug addiction, then they got back together and released an album in 2012 and another in 2015.
+00000 00000 The ones that have a smaller budget usually do a better job. Never the ones advertised for movie theatres though, those usually end up sucking.
01:54 - 02:01 Funny.The only reason I know this movie exists is because after discovering Lucy Fry in"Mako Mermaids"I started to watch every single other thing she has done and *unfortunately* this movie was one of the things. By the way I suggest you to watch her in the 1st season of"Wolf Creek".I think she does a terrific job there. So badass!B-/ 07:57 - 08:25 Well,the whole 1st part of the movie was just one random jumpscare after the other,AT LEAST they didn't put the post-movie one!X-P 12:29 - 12:59 Actually no. One of the biggest problem of this movie is that all the characters have problems (that's too much,seriously,at one point it just becomes ridiculously redundant)and none of them are explored deep and well.For example..as I said I solely watched this movie because of Lucy Fry.And how does her storyline go? 1)While she's on vacation she's a normal teenage girl who cares about her little brother. 2)As soon as she comes home she becomes an asocial brat. Plus you can get that she has an eating disorder if you're careful not to move your eyes from the screen for those 2 litteral seconds in which we see her looking herself in the mirror. 3)We find out she's bulimic.(I must say..great casting choice since she's *so thin!* ) 4)She yells against her mom in the next scene. 5)She once goes to..some..place..to get a treatement..I guess?We don't see what she does there,anyway. 6)Problem solved.This will *never* be mentioned again.Because we have to deal with ghosts and dirty hand prints now. Movie has priorities.(Except we are seeing that stuff from the very beginning so nothing has really changed from that point of view.) This is NOT how eating disorders work!You cannot set up a bulimic character and then making me believe she can solve her problem with one single treatement we don't even get to see!X-((( 14:25 - 15:22 The ironic thing here is the reason she was chosen to play Eve Thorogood in"Wolf Creek"is because she was good at screaming and getting scared in this movie,so really..I'm conflicted because I love her being in"Wolf Creek"but I hate that she had to be in"The Darkness"first!@____@ 22:01 - 22:04 So THAT'S when we see the coyote?I thought it was always the wolf!:-0 Anyway..I don't think the one that bite Stephanie was actually the neighbours' dog..I think it WAS the wolf! 24:55 - 26:30 Maybe that was Jenny...;-]
Autism can take many shapes and forms and in different combinations. So you can actually fill some requirements and not others, as well as, for example, be sensitive to touching one day but less so the next day. That's why it can be hard to diagnose correctly, as well as to understand.
The problem is that the DSM V merged multiple conditions into Autism Spectrum Disorder, which has been screwing up diagnosing for American Psychiatrists and Psychologists. For the most part, outside the US the change has been largely ignored.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 Many which are even more unfitting than Asperger's was if that possible. It annoying how many online Autism spaces blindly defend ASD with "Autism comes in all shapes & forms" but when Classic autism & mild autism where once classed as Childhood schizophrenia they just reply with "???" with no idea how insultingly stupid they sound.
Man those people who comment about you hitting your head must be the same people who needed you to explain the Friday the 13th joke in your one Snob video.
Can we just have a good monster horror movie for once! You know, like Alien, Tremors, Pumpkinhead, The Howling, The Thing, Phantasm, or From Beyond and not PG-13!!! a fucking R!
But then how will they get away with cutting the budget in half by making it found footage and not having to create or build a monster design (along with escaping an R-rating with zero blood, cause, hey, if we're adding adult subjects and sex jokes in kids movies, why not do the opposite for adult films!)?
I wonder how long it'll be before they realize all those people correcting him on the "Negro" pen were joking? XD I kind of hope he never catches on...
Sounds like Riser is playing Burke from "Aliens" again..... Maybe the director knew they had a non-scary horror film so they hired everyone they've ever wanted to work with?
Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Morrison together in a horror movie again... it sounded good, but apparently it isn't. The daughter is apparently a regular on the Hulu show 'Casual'.
I'm thinking that the original ending for The Darkness would have had the fucking jumpscare bit, but whoever was editing the movie together was like "No. Fuck no! This is SO STUPID, it'll ultimatelly kill our production!"
I think the worst thing about this movie is that it has such a dead simple plot and somehow they fuck it up? Like I don't understand how you do that. So many things just happen and then are never mentioned again
You mean the movie that looks SO generic and has the most generic names ever? is bad?! WHAT?! Its hard to be original but at least TRY to be (though they probably didn't care).
That Sheldon Cooper burn: THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who hated that pretentious twat of a character. It's not done in an endearing way like the Cinema Snob.
I only got 15 mins in watching anymore seemed redundant lol. this movie looked like shit, are you guys also going to do a video for that horror with the lady who appears when there isn't light? that's what I thought this was haha. The part with the van cracked me up...props to Seth Rogen for appearing in this video
+FutureWerewolf darkness falls is totally just alan wake the movie. It’s set in a small town surrounded by forests that haunted by a hag in black whos weakness is light. They use a flashlights as weapons, uses any excuse to get the protagonist into a forest, a policeman helps you at the end but for the most part they are against you and it even contains a lighthouse. even the name of the town is a similar and has essentially the same theme. Darkness falls, bright falls, night springs. The protagonist even looks a little like Alan wake.
It was better then the 0% rotten rating that it had.Probably a solid 4/10, Some terrible acting by the teendaughter and the grand mother. Some cheap "thrills" . Maybe 1 or 2 good "scary" moments. Paul riser was hilarious. lol.
What did you learn. "Not to make a stupid joke because everybody takes everything serious?" Belushi and Aykroyd made another Neighbors?! I donno how they did it but that sounds great ... What? Not that Neighbors movie? Well Fornicate that movie than.
As a person with autism, I can't help but wonder how easily offended I would be by this movie...
EDIT: Having finished watching this review, I've concluded that I'd be super offended. Time to buy a ticket.
I am unfathomably upset that a buffalo didn't charge the family at the end, "Final Destination" style.
Thanks for uploading dude, always look forward to a great review from you and your crew!
I would totally watch a movie called "The Midnight Screening Killer" lol. the premise sounds hillarious
"Speaking of black..."
"Go on."
XD
Really wish I had friends like these... or any at all.
+Foster Akinbrij I feel part of that; I wish my friends were down with going out and watching shitty movies and then just trashing them afterwards - but I guess if I did have that I wouldn't come here so...
Zero percent on RT.
Edit Brad: The midnight screening killer isn't a bad idea for an 80s dan episode.
Aw man, I heard "Grand Canyon ghosts" and got all excited. Like, "oh, I bet there are gonna be some sweet environment shots, lots of nature, and good old slow-paced horror". Suppose not.
I, for one, find it appropriate that half the Civil War comments were over the use of the word "negro."
HA he pulled a Snob on Brad xD "what did you learn?"
This just makes me just wish we had a Movie based on The Darkness comic/video game series.
Holy fuck, yes. I loved those games so hard.
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) Hell yeah! I thought the same exact thing when I heard the title of this film.
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) Someone lied to me and told me that's what this was. Their final words were "It was just a prank bro!"
modelmajorpita He caused you to release The Darkness within you.
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) I agree that the games are good, but I can't help but feel an adaptation would be dreadful.
The laughs I got at the end of this video totally made my day. Thank you for making me laugh on a sick day, guys.
Question is, do you believe in a thing called love?
Oh my god, the marker thing reminds me of how my friends grandpa called every Asian kid we were friends with 'oriental' looks like he needed to update his markers XD great review lmao
The midnight Screenings Killer..... it was Old man Doug Walker all along
"AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU KIDS!!!"
Admiral Crackers: Gee wilikers! Who would've thought Chester A Bum was actually old man Walker!
Was anyone first extremely excited seeing the trailer title when it first released on youtube, then immediately disappointed and uninterested the moment they realized it was just a shitty ghost flick that had nothing with the comic series "The Darkness"? Seriously, when are we going to get a Darkness movie?
Don't wish for what you want... you might get it.
30:05: "Actually Brad" Hawaiian for yellow is Melemele. :P
I think this sat on a shelf for a while because the kid looks significantly older in Gotham than he does in this movie.
29:46 Great accidental timing on my part. Paused vid to grab drink and I catch Brad making a great face after telling his marker story. X3
The Wolf did show up in the movie, in the house. I remember that.
+John Smith Showed up twice. biting the girl in her bed.. and jumping out of the treehouse? right into bacon's face.
11:43 Guys, you should totally make "Midnight Screenings: The Movie" and make it a horror movie with found footage elements.
This is honestly one of the best midnight screenings XD you guys slay me
I really, really want to see you review that Power Pack movie now that I know you have it.
I want a midnight screening killer movie now
~~Actually~~
Well honestly Brad, what did you expect from a PG-13 "Horror" movie made by the studio that brought us "Ouija"?
I'm honestly sick of PG-13 horror films. The point of horror movies is to SCARE people including kids. I just can't explain it right now, not just cause my head hurts. Also, this had Burke from Aliens?!

When I press full screen on this video, it only fills up the YT page and not the whole screen. Am I the only one with this problem?
Am I the only one who just immediately got "I believe in a thing called love" stuck in their head when they heard about this movie?
8:52
It's High Noon, darlin'.
From the sound of it, if they dropped the whole ghost/horror angle entirely they could have rigged it into just being some kind of faith based film.
not sure if you know about this by now, brad, but the marker you had in the previous video was NOT a racist marker! "Negro" actually means black!
Wtf
I'm not getting ads on this, is it demonetized for some reason?
+Mascot Quellson Sometimes they just don't load. I'm getting ads every 15 minutes like usual.
teh dankness
Wait, so this isn't a biopic of the failed hair metal revival band from the early 2000's?
+Dylan Paterson They didn't fail. The lead guy dropped out for a few years to deal with his raging drug addiction, then they got back together and released an album in 2012 and another in 2015.
Their music was goddamn awful, so that counts as a failure.
Acccccccctually...
I don't even have a joke. :c
I hate that most recent horror movies usually turn out shitty...

No way! I have that Gameboy shirt!
The Darkness great band O Believe in a Thing Called Love fantastic.
Hello "The Darkness" my old friend
I miss Brian and brads chemistry
Almost made a marker comment on the last
video...almost. Then I remembered my voice on the issue is utterly pointless
Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Morrison together in a horror movie again... it sounded good, but apparently it isn't.
The daughter is apparently a regular on the Hulu show 'Casual'.
I've seen every single thing Lucy Fry did so far,but"Casual"is not among them,for I know...O.o
I liked Stir of Echoes for kid talking to ghost movies.
Can we get a slasher movie again? I don't care if it's good or bad, I just want a slasher flick again.
The Darkness... i rather listen to the group
agreed
the game was fun
like like like like like
I'm thinking that the original ending for The Darkness would have had the fucking jumpscare bit, but whoever was editing the movie together was like "No. Fuck no! This is SO STUPID, it'll ultimatelly kill our production!"
I'm sorry....no really....I'm sorry about this experience.
The Darkness Knight.

Jars of throw up....? Is that a thing or...?
This is the like the Avengers of Blumhouse Tropes. Except it doesn't have J.K Simmons acting crazy, or Ethan Hawke getting murdered.
I would watch the hell out of Blumhouse Avengers.
The dog died in Babadook!
Too bad M Bison wasn't one of the spirit animals
A yelling kid? Reminds me of the yelling kid scene in The Food of the Gods. One of my favorite scenes ever. th-cam.com/video/_I1mYT7r_w0/w-d-xo.html
THA CUBE!
The girl on the poster is clearly the chick from The Apparition!
Makes me wish thus was a mobie about the band The Darkness. There would be way more cocaine though.
