- well, I usually don't actually jump on movies this quick so spoilers ahead! In a small town, with a small settlement near it, a group of Romani people would lay claim to a piece of land that 80 years prior, their peopled owned. Not thrilled about this, the owner of the land would route them, leading to them to unleashing a curse upon the towns people there, infesting their lives weeks later with a form of disease that would spread to almost supernatural levels. In todays episode, we will discuss what this disease is, how is spreads and also we need to understand this is also somewhat supernatural lol
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The Cursed Human Monster Explored | Why Does it Look Like a Werewolf With Mange?

Happy Friday
I enjoyed watching this video Roanoke Gaming.
how about the Ceph from the crisis series? cool octopus aliens
What's the movie called? I rewatched the vid twice, in-full making sure I didn't miss it. Still not sure LMAO
Please do not use the term Gypsy. It is racist. Use Roma instead.
I can confirm this movie is biologically accurate. A Romani gave me stomach ulcers and I have been a werewolf ever since.
Did you get better?
@@RoanokeGaming no hes dead
@@polishspy3088 but why?

I loved this movie, and I like the take on werewolves, they didn't just take and make them dogs with hairy human body's and instead made them semi quadreped humanoids with animal like instincts with a bit of magic.
I liked this as well, really an interesting view of the werewolves which I havent seen done before
That dissection bit was nasty
The OG werewolf tales had them being literal wolves, so it's not too far off..
Man if we had a humanoid cousin like this that’d be fucking terrifying. Though taming some would be neat.
What movie is this?
As an Archaeologist, I'd say that the reason why everyone had very similar nightmares is because they had all been party to the same gossip of the events that happened with the Romani. The old woman, the scarecrow, the teeth. Over a few weeks and everyone knows.
It's been less than a week since an incident in my small town occurred. Already, I know who did it, what they did, when they did it, and (to an extent) why. It's super Midsomer Murders stuff, so I won't give the details, but literally everyone is talking about these people's private lives to the nth degree before the police have even given an official statement on what happened.
Also, I just realised the 'silver bullet' is also a reference to treating/curing disease, given that the wolf creature is a disease ended by a silver bullet much like penicillin was a 'silver bullet' to many diseases.
Silver does have antimicrobial properties.
Well…now I’m curious what the incident is.
@@spudthepug Rape, Murder, Decapitation, Suicide.
Bacteria also doesn't like actual silver as well
But what has this got to do with archeology?
Can't believe how much trouble a set of cursed dentures can cause. Great breakdown of a really interesting twist on lycanthropy!
I have to wonder if removing the silver bullet would make the infection active again. In the hectic rush of a wartime hospital, it would be easy enough to mistake someone for dead when actually they were just unconscious and had very weak vital signs. Sure would be unfortunate if Edward was still potentially infectious and the bullet had only kept things dormant. ;)
Edward then transforms into a Ghoul in a pile of corpses, gorges himself to mildly fermented human flesh and begins to assexually procreate...
6 months later the Great War ends in ceasefire because frontlines all across Europe collapse under the onslaught of man-eating monsters.

For those that don't know "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal."
I'm always delighted when I hear some sort of warhammer reference from somebody who actually has a life
For the maschine is imortal *machinical orgasm noises*
All hail the Machine-God

Waaaaaggghh

You outdid yourself with correlating the movie's premise to known, real-world biology. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it my man!
This dude does exactly that. He breaks it down biology wise. Been a subscriber for a long time for that exact reason.
Yep.
i absolutely love how you managed to connect the supernatural parts of the curse with actual science. you're not only smart af, but also very good with understanding symbolism, metaphors and movie language in general! always love to hear your pov on these kinds of movies. bless
I'm Rom (male Roma) and your pronouniation for Romani is spot on though romani is the adjective and Roma is the noun
I love how this movie actually referenced The Beast of Gevaudan.
The lead hunter was the one who also was part of the team that hunted down the Beast of Gevaudan. It killed his family & he’s never gotten over it.
If you're interested in The Beast of Gévaudan, I can recommend a French movie about it called Brotherhood of the Wolf. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that it addresses multiple popular theories about what the Beast could have been.
@@cat_spit Les Pacq De Wolves? (Sp?). If so, I enjoyed it! I know I butchered the title but it’s a fantastic movie
The end if the movie even mimics the actual events that happened in gevaudan i.e. it attacking a church
I've always been heavily interested with the legend of La Bete. Glad to see it get a little recognition in today's motion pictures.
We seriously need a high budget horror film to adapt the legend. Its a dark, fascinating piece of history that movie makers don't ever capitalize - for whatever reason.
Never have to worry about spoilers if you're not really into movies. Support them costs of living!
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
“Not really into movies?” What 💀
@@boogerpicker8104 he meant financially supporting the juden in Hollywood
Same recaps are usually better then the movies
@@boogerpicker8104 I have a hard time sitting still during movies so I don't watch them as they're boring to me
Fun Story: One time my grandparents had the same exact dream about their old cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I’ll be seeing them this Easter and hopefully Roanoke will explain how this can work so I can explain it to them and share the wisdom of papa Roanoke with more of my family
As mentioned before I love how the werewolf is a kind of suit on top of the infected person, which ties into both Native American and some more forgotten lore about werewolves being able to shed their skin and become human again.
That was a huge belief in Ireland too
Skinwalkers right?
@@konradcurze939 More universal folklore, really

The Bloodborne ambience really pulls it altogether
Glad you enjoy that :)
I THOUGHT I WAS HEARING DOUBLE. BECAUSE, IM PLAYING BB RN LOLLLL
The whole 'waking up middle of the night' thing is actually really cool and it seems to be our natural tendency. How many of us have woken up at 3am for no reason? Just hang out for an hour or two (don't just lay in bed if you wake up stone cold sober - your anxiety machine wants you to be doing something else), and then go to bed for a few more hours. Your mileage may vary depending on your schedule, of course, but it's nice to enjoy the dawn and birdsong.
Honestly, as someone who struggles with insomnia sometimes, a couple of hours of being awake pre-dawn and another round of sleep isn't that bad. I imagine it would be even nicer if I wasn't the only one awake.
Someone is watching you
Statistics say 80% of waking up at unreasonably early times is someone watching. Look it up. It is me. I’m in your walls.
C :
For me that would be awful, I really like to sleep
@@aidanmatthewgalea7761 nonsense, you can't be in my walls. They're brick walls and full of ants. You'd be eaten alive by ants! And you may enjoy staring at strangers at 3:33am but nobody enjoys ants.

I sleep like this naturally. I'm more crepuscular than diurnal or nocturnal.
Dude, I love the narrative style you choose to summarize the movies and explain the underlying pathophysiology! It feels like I'm talking to a friend about these movies. Keep up the great work, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs!
It is ironic that this semi-biological curse comes from _silver_ teeth, as silver has anti-bacterial properties like Roanoke said
I know this is literally a werewolf movie, but I got another one that treats lycanthropy like a virus, Ginger Snaps. The second one even takes it a bit further with trying to delay the infection with basically poison.
It's been years since I watched those movies but I remember them being really well done. Would love to see Roanoke cover those.
Yeah the used some type of distilled plant, cant remember if it was hemlock or nightshade or something of the like
@@boneyardghoul931 I think it was nightshade, can't remember for sure though.
@Jonas Smith To each their own, some people like it, some don't. It's not a big deal.
@@boneyardghoul931 Wolfsbane, also known as monkshood or aconite.
Love that we can hear the bloodborne OST in the background. Nice touch considering what goes on in that game
Im glad you like that man!
As an actual Romani individual thank you so much for using the correct term for us! Totally made my day. PS you do say it correctly haha
The "similar dreams" everyone is having may not have to do with the infection, but it could be a way to psychologically cope with the events that took place. As a commenter mentioned below, most people in the town must have heard one thing or another about the massacre (about the scarecrow man, the buried woman, etc) and children, who still remain innocent towards the ways of the world, might have more trouble digesting the issue. If they're not allowed to bring up the topic in conversation, they're bound to subconsciously bring it up in dreams. It may also explain why the Pathologist is the only one who dreams about his lost family (variation according to their own experiences or feelings on the subject).
Thanks for watching guys! Would highly recommend going and watching this movie too, it was great! Also If you do play world of warcraft, its Onyx Guard. Again, EDGY AF

Oh damn the creature looks pretty cool.
Reminds me of a similar uncanny human faced beast in The Terror called the Tuunbaq, I hope you get to it sometime, its a cool and mysterious beast
Looked awesome! loved the creature design in this movie
@@RoanokeGaming There's a History buffs review of its historical aspects, a lot about botulism and poisoning due to scurvy and improper canning of foods.
Hell even the monster gets sick from stuff, it sounds like there's something to dig in but its up to you.
That's my thought exactly. Well spotted! It's almost like a animalesque body whereas the head is rather bluntly "human". The Terror is one of the best series' I've seen in recent years. Do check out Simmons' book of the same title. Intrigued by these sort of creatures.
The doctor in that series (who is also in this movie)...they both die by fire ;)
Hm.
Isn’t it weird how silver, a common thing in various unrelated cultures associated with subduing or curing the supernatural, has actual properties that relate to the neutralization of infective proteins?(or whatever they do, I’m no biologist). I just think that’s so interesting, and makes me wonder… the myth of vampires and werewolves across cultures is now speculated to be a reaction to a rabies infection, and then those same creatures being averse to silver; perhaps silver or some property/alloy of it may be the key to a potential cure for an active rabies infection.
Active Rabies is located within the brain itself. The virus travels up your body and when it hits your brain that's where it starts to reproduce rapidly. Which releases a flood of the virus inducing symptoms as it spreads down to the saliva glands, most of the issue comes from the fact that it uses your brain like a fortress. I suppose you could cure them of breathing with a silver bullet though. I don't know about generations back, but humans infected with rabies rarely if ever become aggressive, since we have cognitive thought to recognize what's causing the issue, we do not resort to snapping out like an injured animal.
Thank you for calling us Roma and not using the other options. Made this a lot nicer to watch.
I love that its basically a werewolf mechsuit. Its my favorite version of a werewolf lol.
pretty creative, loved this movie
I’ve watched some of these movies after and before you covered them and I can honestly say it’s usually more entertaining watching you cover them then actually watching the movie lmao
I don't know, the waking up at 3am, hanging out, then getting a few more hours just sounds like my life currently.
Duuuuude I was hoping you’d do this movie!!!!! This makes my entire month!! Thank you so so much!!!
Hope you enjoy it brother!
@@RoanokeGaming I shall!! I’m really picky with my werewolf movies but seen this twice in theaters and purchased it on demand…this is probably my favorite werewolf movie I’ve seen since Ginger Snaps and Dog Soldiers
@@ryandigiacomo7191 Do were bears count? cuz there's a Russian action film that includes a were bear character that wields a mini gun that you should see. Iirc it's called The Guardians
@@RoanokeGaming I curious about the dream aspect... Kids hear EVERYTHING... so, what if a kid from one of the parents that killed the Romanians, heard the tale. They could have sat on stairs across the room, silently listening or through a wall connecting the dining/living room and their bedroom. What if the tale scared them so much, that they had a nightmare. Then they tell their closest friend(s) or family member(s). Eventually the story gets passed around. It scares people. Especially with how superstitious people were in those times and gabbing is their favorite past time.
They have dreams about it and I am sure there will be variances to their dreams. Because we have all played "telephone" when telling stories and we know that the story will change over time during the re-telling. My point is, most people will have certain information that is for sure repeated... An open field, with a scarecrow, and that they see someone/something (paranoia and superstition) ~ so a ghost or witch.
With such a mindset in those times, people tend to jump on bandwagons, start riots.... witch trials for example... so why not call it mass hypnosis; as the power of suggestion is real and strong. What do you think?
What movie is it?
One thing I always look forward to with these videos is the chapter names. They make me chuckle every time lol
I love that people actually pay attention to those haha
Hope you're doing well, Roanoke. Another great video. Can't get enough of your videos even after watching them for 3-4 years.
As people have said, very interesting take on werewolves. Also appreciate the use of the Hunter’s Dream theme in Bloodborne in this video. Between the werewolves, the nightmares, the setting, and the fact that it’s literally a bloodborne pathogen, it’s fitting background music for the video.
As for the source of the infection, I prefer to think of it as a hybridization of an organic biological pathogen and an actual magical curse. Like, the curse attached to the teeth transforms healthy human cells into infected cells that then work like a living pathogen. Assuming it’s all biological and scientific, you have to make a lot of weird assumptions and line up a lot of coincidences for it to make sense. But I too enjoy overthinking how to credibly explain magic/sci-fi nonsense, so that’s not a critique, just an observation. Love your videos.
I kinda find it interesting that the pathologist had seen the werewolves before
>discusses supernatural disease
>uses BloodBorne OST
>Nice
;)
I’ve been watching since your dead space videos and I’m really happy how you have branched out and grown. And I can’t wait for the videos you will probably make of the Callisto protocol when that comes out. Keep up the great work man.
I love you bruh, not only are you giving me food for thought in every video but you are also introducing me to precious gems of movies like this
It is a bit of a stretch, but you could explain the seemingly shared nightmare by saying that the infection in the water source effects brain chemistry in such a manner that it renders its sufferers highly suggestable. Such things are not entirely unheard of with pathological microbes, viruses and fungi able to modify behaviour in various species. At that point, the curse uttered by the Romani wise woman could act like a meme (in the scientific meaning of that word) - a notion that replicates itself through word of mouth of the infected, and so suggestible, townspeople. The idea of the curse that effects dreams spreads alongside the infection, and at some point someone who was present at the massacre has a nightmare about those events that is particularly vivid, fixating especially on the gruesome fate of the mutilated man and the wise woman along with the strangeness of the unusual silver teeth. They talk about this dream with friends, and it is so striking that word of it begins to spread, and people not directly involved in the events overhear such conversations, even if subconsciously, and it starts to effect their own dreams due to their highly suggestable state, creating the illusion that everyone is having the same dream, a situation worsened by the highly superstitious culture of a community where advanced education is rare and scientific explanations probably would not be readily forthcoming or taken especially seriously, as evidenced by the attitude toward pathology as a scientific discipline. Indeed, even without an infection increasing everyone's level of suggestibility, such a scenario could still play out. It is not as though there aren't historical examples of mass hysteria resulting in shared delusions with catastrophic outcomes, as the events in Salem and the other historical witch hunts in the early US and throughout Europe amply demonstrate. Indeed, just a few years ago rural people in some parts of mittel-Europe were caught desecrating graves in the earnest belief that they were protecting themselves from vampires by cutting out the hearts and striking off the heads of the recently deceased.
Add in the often imperfect and fragmentary memory one has of one's dreams after one wakes - and the likelihood that people would pay more attention to broad brushstroke similarities in their dreams than they would to any differences - and the way in which a belief in a supernaturally shared dream could spread becomes clear, especially in an age long before any modern scientific understanding of the neurochemistry and neurophysiology behind dreaming was discovered and dreams were often ascribed prophetic and other supernatural attributes in uncounted folk traditions.
My love for your channel has grown exponentially my man I normally don't tend to try to watch every single video a channel uploads because life as a mechanic can be hectic every now and then but anyways I just wanted to show my appreciation for this channel.

Okay, this was definitely an interesting one for sure. An odd take on the classical werewolf trope but done in a way that actually makes you think.
I really do appreciate you making all these different videos even if they are not necessarily viral, bacterial, or fungal in nature per say. It's just interesting to hear some biologic based explanations for things that can be considered heavily fantasy.

Very nice video, as always. Love the Hunter's dream music in the background, so good.
I always like seeing you break down supernatural things, because its interesting too see how a supernatural thing might go about it task in a biological manner and what is actually supernatural.
The werewolf kinda reminds me of the chimeras from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. just without the second head
I REALLY need to play Stalker
@@RoanokeGaming I truly recommend playing all of them ❤
Saw this movie last week so glad you made a video on it
The burning horses made both my wife and daughter sad too. Which then encouraged my ten year old son to make up a continuous string of ways to kill horses for several hours 🤣
Haven't seen this film but I love your videos! I really love the originality of the creatures in this film with the monstrous meatsuit covering the original human form. I wonder if they took inspiration from the really old animal transformation myths of antiquity that would go onto to become the werewolf myths, where the person would take the skin of the animal (wolf, seals, swans etc) to become an embodiment and made it literal.
Also my little hunter heart is singing for the Hunter's Dream OST! ;D
Strangely enough this movie takes place in France I think from the start of the movie. Everything i have read also says its in france. As to why they speak in an english accent is beyond me. Theres actually alot of historical inacuracies as well but still fun. Legit just finished watching and found this video so thank you.
You're absolutely right. At the end of the movie he is wearing an Adrian helmet and has a French Blue Uniform on. The British wore a more brown Unifrom and had the famous Brodie "Pot" helmet most people associate with the British in WW1/2
Prolly a case of using a mostly Brit cast.
@@louis8487 that's what I was thinking, it's not like the inaccuracies ruin the movie if you don't know bout em. Overall a fun Lil ride
Because it's a a movie made by English speaking people for an English speaking audience.
Great video as usual, I loved the extra touch with the music from the bloodborne sound track
so even though the movie was clearly supernatural, roanoke still tryed to make it science. Kudos to you and all the scientist out there
Hello I'm your daily reminder to explore the beasts of Bloodborne
Need to play some more!
The fact that you used the word Romani rather than Gypies despite not knowing how to pronounce it is extremely admirable.
For anyone who does not know. Gypsy is considered a kind of a slur in the Romani community. They call themselves Roma or Romani.
thats wrong too as the worg gypsy describes more than one group and roma are just one of them
Are we just supposed to pretend they haven't been calling themselves gypsies for hundreds of years now? Kinda stupid tbh
@@m0gbrah I love you
that's just the American political correctness at work. no one I know in Western or Eastern Europe ever refers to them as anything other than gypsies.

Hope you enjoy it!
as someone who is romani (you got the right pronunciation too! roh mah nee.) , it's good that apart from the initial usage of the word gypsy, you use the word romani for most of the video! for those who dont know, the word gypsy is outdated and many of us prefer to not use it (if a person uses it who is romani that is their choice to reclaim), and it is often considered derogatory! again thank you to roanoke for using the corrent terminology

“Horses running away on fire which made my wife sad” I’m right there with her! I would have cried😅
I am absolutely loving the dark souls theme in the background. Thanks for another fun vid!(:
Thinking of a Doctor Who episode, the mothers dna was on the silver bullet, so maybe the combination of the silver being a cyanotoxin, it getting lodged and not dealing enough damage to kill mixed with the mothers dna partially matching her sons was the perfect mixture to cause a curing effect.
I don't think "it's a curse" alone is lame. If the story has supernatural elements that doesn't remove natural processes from the equation. If there's magic, it would be interacting with non-magical matter, yes?
I could see a curse that also has a bacterial component. Magic runes on the surfaces of cells or however you want to justify it, or a spirit acting as a directing mind for a disease.
Star Wars has the concept of Sith Alchemy. The dark side is concentrated through rituals to such potency aberrations of Lovecraftian horror can be willed to exist against the rules of nature. Such as project Blackwing, a Flood like scourge palpatine crafted that uses a bacteria molded by the force to warp the bodies of victims into whatever the plague needs. The more bodies it converts, the smarter the hive mind becomes until it’s strong enough to influence people through the force and even pilot ships. It’ll reach out through the force and drive people mad or suicidal almost like Markers from Dead Space.
Love your videos man, I’m always playing it when I’m driving somewhere (just listening ofc not watching the video with me driving lol) when I don’t wanna listen to music or playing it in the background.
Hell ya, thanks for watching brother
There is no way I would have caught on to any of this just watching the movie. Thats actually how I feel most of the time when you explain things lol. So now whenever I watch something, I'm like.... I need a Roanoke explanation....
Another great video, Roanoke! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I agree that this was a really good take on werewolves and I'll have to check it out soon!
Also just wondering, have you considered covering the Blacklight virus from the Prototype game series? I think it would be interesting to get your take on it.
I’ve been waiting for a breakdown like this, I’m working on a horror story where curses intertwine with biological evolution so this was extremely helpful!
This movie is so dark - I love the humor though! Very good commentary and I’ve been binging these types of videos 😊
I was kind of hoping one of the cast members says, "we don't have antibiotics because it's the 1800's." That would have been so meta
Thank you so much for referring to them as Romani, I've seen so many other youtubers review this movie with the perjorative term and it's been hard to enjoy or appreciate their input with that every five minutes.
Thanks also for another great video! I like the movie a lot too and seeing some science behind the creature is always entertaining. Sure "it's just a curse" is an optional explanation, but where's the fun in that?
TH-cam continues to be shit and doesn’t notify me of your uploads even though I have notifs on. Love your content man keep it up.
