The BODY PARALYZING Burrower Species Explained
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.พ. 2025
- A species that hibernates every 100 years breaks though from the soils. Upon coming into contact with humans, they would immediately inject venom that would paralyze their target and proceed to make them completely immobile. Being dragged to a hole a person would be left for days before the burrowers returned. But what allows them to immobilize a person and how does their venom work? lets discuss that in todays episode!

while funny bout us rus invading you I have to give it to your gov their trying for a red alert....honestly it's impressive at this point the lack of self preservation.Stay safe the normal people of the west.
What is your beef with Angular fish 🤣
Velocipede is, sadly, an early form of bicycle and not a monstrous speedy bug.
Not with that attitude it's not. We hold the power over language! All we must do is invent or discover a large speedy centipede and change the meaning.
ask AI to draw it!!
@@clayxros576already exists, which one you want it to be, the massive normal looking one in south America that can kill a person with its venom, or the massive freaky looking troglodyte one in south America that can also kill a person with its venom?
@@pensador6953 For the record, those art bots are VI, not AI. VI is limited and requires input in order to improve, AI can improve on its own and make inferences from separate pieces of information.
Funny. Bicycle in russian language uses the exact word - velocipede.
There was a man named Martin Pistorius recovered from locked-in syndrome after twelve years. He said he absolutely hates the show Barney because they’d put that on and leave it him in front of the TV with it on all day.
He wrote a book about it called Ghost Boy. Very interesting (and terrifying).
Why anyone would put that on and walk away unless there was a 0-2 year old in the room is beyond me. Not just Barney, but any of those "baby shows" (Barney, Thomas the Train, Backyardigans, etc)
Because they thought when this happened that he basically had the intelligence of a small child when he did not@@Springtrap11556
Unless I'm thinking of another case, didnt he spend like 10 years in that state and heard his entire family talking shit the entire time?
@@notrelatedtobacon1282 I think that's the same one, yeah. His mom told him she wished he was dead. How awful to have to endure that.
@@StoutShakoI think scary interesting made a video about him
Fun fact: the Angler fish you see are all females. The males bite onto the females and turn into an atrophied little gonad on the female and are also super tiny.
Another layer of hell Roanoke is surely familiar with. I will say this, I fear dolphin far more than Angler fish. One CAN get me and toss my corpse like a volleyball. The other is literal nightmare fuel, as it cannot survive here. But there are far far scarier things in the briny deep.
Atrophied little gonad was my nickname in college
Actually, it gets even worse. Male Anglerfish are basically born without any working systems aside from testes, so if they don't find a mate, they just die. If they aren't eaten by something else first. Did I mention they're almost blind too? On the upside, if you can call it that, multiple male Anglerfish can attach to one female, IIRC I've seen a picture of a female with like 3 or 4 nads.
Another fun fact: Anglerfish actually catch prey by sucking it into their mouth whole once it's been lured in, they have a pouch that can expand to hold prey larger than them, with the teeth just there to make sure you can't get out and you get shredded up on the way in. That being said, aside from not being able to survive at that depth, Dory and Marlin from Finding Nemo would have been fucking insta-killed by the Anglerfish.
Omg that's my dream
Dear god man! Hiding in my closet every day for the rest of my life seems more and more appealing.@@ericlamb4501
This movie is one of the few that really chilled me to the bone. The scene where the horse steps on the buried person, but they just carry on without realizing it, and knowing that there were probably more people buried nearby, alive, awake, unable to move as they listen to their only chance at being rescued leave, totally unaware... I don't even want to think about the horror that must have been felt. This whole movie was so hauntingly hopeless and nihilistic. I love it and hate it at the same time 😅
Yep they might have just rode right over the very people they were looking for early into the film making the rest of the adventure even more futile.
@@zerrodefex I mean, almost certainly, right? They don’t take their prey very far.
Bone Tomahawk was great until the last fifth of the movie then it shit the bed. Wonder if it would be worth covering by RG.
Oh me too. It's really one of those movies that taps into that primal human fear of being *completely* helpless, and you really need to be in a certain frame of mind to watch it and not come away feeling like shit-- the same thing with movies like [REC], as the characters are forced, slowly, into a hopeless situation.
It’s a really, really good movie.
its amazing how the grass is only tall when they make camp at night but its super short and barren the rest of the time
They were probably picking better-watered areas to make camp in. Ergo, livelier grass.
@@sharondornhoff7563 the horses ate it all overnight!
It was like that in a campaign when I and some friends were playing DND, I honestly got pissed at the Dungeon master for that lol for not explaining that the grass was not taller when we set up camp and allowed raiders on horseback to see me while I tried to distract them with a spell that made a sound as the grass was shorter beyond our camp. That was a lot of words to describe something that was so simple 😆 hope I didn't confuse anyone.
The grass had nutrients there 😅
Movie magic.
"venom that would completely imobilize a human against their will." ah yes, as opposed to the venom that requires consent from the human victim to work.
Don't joke about the consent venom, that shit is beyond your greatest fear
@@juses6184vampires
cool username i like how it references chomo material. great comment too you're clearly a clever person who knows a thing or two
Not many people know this, but most forms of venom legally cannot harm you if you don't consent.
King cobra bites you? Just say no.
Literally that easy.
That's what's up.
I really need the lore on Roanoke's disdain of anglerfish.
_Did you know that anglerfish can grow _*_over 5 feet tall and 4+ feet long?_*
They are just horrifying.
After his love of feet was discovered in the early days we all decided to follow on an forgive him for he's degenerative behaviour but in the last few months we have also discover his new hate of angler fish, which I personally think is because he's trying to distract from the foot thing, others think he's been given one....
Well those army men are precious bullshit Yankees and we all kno they have no hearts or souls
@dutchcornerscurse your pfp 😂
As an Aussie that grew up on the coast we are taught to get out of the water and tell someone we got stung by something. I serious thought this was a universal reaction to getting stung by something in the water.
when I lived on the coast, I lived in Washington state usa. the worst stinging thing in the water is a jelly fish. it's sting is a little worse than a jelly fish. so yes you should tell someone, but you won't die from it.
if you get a cut it should be immediately washed out, because being scratched by a shellfish can give a nasty infection, but I'd guess that happens everywhere on the ocean.
fellow Aussie here; it's almost instinctual to immediately leave the ocean when something stings -
the three times i've been stung by blue bottles proves this.
@@kyle18934 the box jelly fish be in Australia will mess you up.
@retsaMinnavoiG lol I just re read my comment. I meant to say a jellyfish sting is like a couple bee stings.
yeah, I can imagine. someone I know got stung in the face by a box jellyfish in Hawaii. it wasnt pretty. took a few weeks to heal
It is if you have good parent
I always wonder whether you are incredibly good at overanalyzing stuff or if monster movie makers actually put more thought into their creation than it seems
I'd say the prior. It's easier for someone with knowledge to try and piece everything together and make it sound fitting after the fact, than to try to intentionally portray something accurately. If you're vague enough it's also way easier to come with an explanation after the fact. Kind of how people try and explain what is written in the Bible in regards to the end times. While there have been war, diseases and collapses of entire empires since those prophecies were made, apparently all those disasters didn't truly usher in the end times. However, this current disaster does signal the end times, even though we live in a time were there has been nothing but gradual improvement and an increase in standards of living.
But with the advent of the internet I'd say it has also become easier to reach a status of "good enough" when you design a monster, compared to for example the 90s. So maybe a bit of both.
I've seen a few videos where he gets really excited that the filmmakers did their research, so yeah, it's usually him applying actual science to totally bonkers monsters
Which honestly makes the ones where it was thought out so fantastic, and the ones where they clearly didn't (looking at you quiet place movies) hilarious.
Some of them do! But from my experience it can be difficult to find that information. I wish more interviews would incorporate such questions and/or that the directors, designers, artists etc would more openly share and be allowed to as well!
I think you're giving too much credit to Hollywood, he's just that good
The creature also makes me think of how vampire stories would have been created. Mark on the neck, charms (paralyzes) victims, burns in sunlight and can't cross streams of water.
I was thinking that, too!
It makes them seem supernatural without the story confirming or denying it. Are these creatures truely natural or are they something far more mysterious? That is what the story leaves us to wonder.
It's so random but I am genuinely glad you explained what to do when someone is paralyzed and can't close their eyes. I find it fascinating and scary that this is something most people would overlook. I will definitely remember this.
That central USA wilderness is really impressive. I used to fly low over it from Texas to Wyoming every other week. I saw everything from wild horses to people with torches standing in a circle, all with the knowledge that if I went down I'd be waiting for 12 hours before someone could pick me up.
torches? sounds cultish
@@tonypringles2285 not unlikely. It was over the reservation so idk if cult is the right word.
not everyone that uses the reservation land is a native thats supposed to be there. There are hundreds if not thousands of stories of natives and police working together and still coming up short for an explanation. Missing people, murder, unexplainable relocating of people and more. @@picivyvortac2641
12 hours ? Small towns scattered all over there . The Midwest ain’t 12 hours from no where but China . 😂
@@Bigbadwolfanderson 12 hour wait from touchdown. Takes time for people to pick up an elt. Takes time to locate you. Takes time to mobilize. Takes time to drive.
Having driven through South Dakota twice on a cross-country drive to move frin east to west and back again... I could absolutely see this happening there lmao
Lol
No one ever notices because it's south Dakota. Good story
As someone who has lived in South Dakota their whole life. Yeah, probably.
Something I learned after watching tremors is that apparently the thing that really scares me is subterranean monsters burrowing to come eat me. I'm not very far in and I'm just so unsettled by these things
Trust me the graboid life cycle will be something to behold
yeah, something that hunts in the air, or on the ground is at least visible... something that lives in the ground would be awful
The Body Paralyzing Burrower was my nickname in college
Were you ever caught?
@@Semi-Orphanaticthey didn't catch him but he "caught" something

There is a short sequel to this film made by the creators showing how the Indians deal with and relate to these creatures. Its quite goid and worth a watch if you can find it.
What's the name of the sequel please?
@@V-man117 Blood Red Earth, but it's a prequel.
I like that they show that in those days very few people were innocent. Not the natives , not the settlers , not the army. One of the more accurate westerns.
@@nadagainagain4987but but... muh Native Americans cant do no wrong!
I remember it on the horror channel onDemand
Welcome members to this meeting of the Roanoke Gaming cult. Where we think everything is rabies, fear the prion, and have a deep seated hatred for the anglerfish.
Hail Roanoke!
And an odd obsession with feet
Yep, all of this is right.
@@alexisbloodwood5587Feet are very important. You can gather so much data about a creature from looking at its' feet! Have you ever seen a tapirs' feet? They have five hoof-fingers on the front feet and four hoof-toes on the back! Madness, and positively facinating!
The Roanoke Protects 🙏🏼
I love how your videos make me think "Oh geez. Good thing that doesn't exist irl" and then you immediately mention a disease or animal that's eerily similar 😅
Honestly having your body be locked in and someone taking advantage of you while you’re in that state is very terrifying.🐱
wow its almost like real world parallels can be drawn from this
yeah thats something, but you wanna know how to make that better
PLAY
RAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIID SHAAAADOOOOW LEGENDSSS
oh it happens, people with locked in syndrome or in coma's come up pregnant with scary consistency throughout most of the world
just look at the horrifying state of american and UK old folks homes and convalescent homes.... a completely insane amount of abuse and not only physical but sexual and emotional as well, it's a goddamned shame
Sleep paralysis used to be terrifying. I can only imagine what being" locked in "'would be like.....sheeeeesh !
@@JohanJolosnot just in the anglophone countries either. Care homes in the non Japanese parts of Asia are mostly terrible, they're almost non existent or terrible in Africa and Latin America too. I've known some people who worked in care homes in Canada and the US and they said while cheaper the canadian ones weren't any better. Elder care kind of sucks in most places really since people just want the very old locked up and forgotten about, it's mainly just Japan and the wealthier parts of Europe that have it figured out and even then that care is heavily dependent on dirt cheap immigrant labor from more family orientated parts of the world like Poland or Africa.
I had a chapter of my life where i got really bad sleep paralysis & i can't imagine how awful it would be to be locked into your body but still alive. When i had sleep paralysis I'd try to yell or move and the more i tried the more this force feedback vibration would happen. It was such a crazy thing. I never dealt with the other weird aspects of sleep paralysis some people say happen to them..
I've actually experienced sleep paralysis many times throughout my life. And I have recorded it a few times on my phone. Some episodes very recently. Some of the more recent experiences I have heard what sounded like almost a dog or some other type of animal sniffing/breathing and pawing at me from my backside while I'm in bed. Other times it feels like there are hands trying to grab me and pull me and roll me over towards them. I could see myself on the video trying to resist whatever it was that was holding me down or trying to roll me over, and me speaking but not quite yelling "NO! NO! STOP!" And finally saying..."Fuck Off!" before fully coming around and waking up. All of this usually happens within the first 30 to 60 Minutes of Me laying down an falling asleep. When I wake up after some of these episodes my heart is beating like a jackhammer and I am truly terrified to go back to sleep sometimes.
@@ItsFreakinHarding. Luckily I never had those kinds of hallucinations, the experience of not being able to move was terrifying enough. Back then I had a lightswitch right above my pillow and I would "fight" to try to move my arm and hit the lightswitch.
Eventually I got used to it and it was more of a "god damn it, not again" moment rather than panic inducing, and at some point in my mid 20s it just stopped.
This creature is in fact terrifying. I also love how Roanoke finds a way to mention his hatred and fear of angler fish.
It’s always fascinating seeing people from the 1800s and such dealing with horrifying creatures like these
I have a medical condition known as hypokalemic periodic paralysis, which can cause almost total paralysis when my potassium levels drop too low. It can be triggered by any kind of adrenal reaction, and the use of things like epinephrine and norepinephrine will trigger a reaction, too. In my case, the paralysis is not neurologically related as its not caused by signals from the nerves being blocked, its due changes in the calcium and potassium channels in the cell mebranes of my muscle tissue, causing it to metabolize all available potassium and leaving the muscles unable to contract (the simplified version). I have to wonder if this venom works similar somehow as when I have a total paralysis epispde, it can leave me unable to move, and even blinking can be hard.
It's a movie dude
@@ZyklonBeast12The same movie that Roanoke is talking about?
Heck, looking at it that way, the venom may have some kind of reaction with potassium that causes the meat suit to begin rotting, with the catalyst speeding up said consumption of potassium. Which there for speeds up the internal rotting,
Interesting, but that's really unfortunate.
Since it involves potassium levels dropping too low, and I'm assuming they aren't going up on their own, that would mean you need someone else to help you if it happens?
How is such a thing figured out the first time, that sounds horrifying.
Honestly these creatures sound very similar to vampires. With the whole drinking their prey, the wounds on the neck, and of course their weakness to fire and sunlight.
The Irukandji jellyfish is pronounced irr-a-kan-jee, as in irrigation. Its named after an indigenous group that inhabits far northeastern Australia.
FNQ MENTIONED, QUEENSLANDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie was horrifying when I first saw it. Now, hearing the monster's way of attacking fully explained, horrifies me even more.
Thanks!
Borrowers is an enjoyable western horror movie. I do enjoy a good creature feature film, especially when it's graced by Roanoke scientific analysis.
Burrowers - because they burrow in the ground
Borrowers are a different cryptid who appease their cognitive dissonance of their prolific thefts by telling themselves that they're just borrowing it.
I think they're a type of phae
That part about covering a paralysed persons eyes is good to know. In the heat of the moment it's probably not something you'd think about.
I get sleep paralysis fairly often. Enough that I know when it's happening most of the time and am completely in control of my thoughts. Sometimes when I feel like it's been going on too long I just accept that I'm going to be paralyzed forever. It's terrifying.....
I've gotten that a couple of times. I'm normally in like a weird lucid dream state, so I just summon up a AKG machine and zap myself until I'm fully awake.
In Arizona we used to call them rock monsters, they were imaginary but camping out there for weeks on end in the middle of nowhere, you would feel the presence of something there😮
The only reason Angler Fish don't scare me, is that the large ones are all confined to the murky depths. There's a few species that live in shallow tropical species but they're usually not larger than about 10-18 inches.
Also the largest angler fish only reach about 3.5 feet, not sure where you got a 6ft figure from.
Another upload from the goat, honestly I know no one will see this but your video consistently make my life happier. Thanks Roanoke.
I saw your comment and I agree. A Roanoke video can improve any day.
As Arnie once said “If it bleeds, you can kill it.”
Roanoke, would you kindly show us on the doll where the angler fish hurt you?
YES! Thank you for bringing more attention to this little gem.
Doug Hutchinson is Henry in this movie. The first time I saw him was an episode of X Flies. After that, The Green Mile as the reprehensible Percy. He does a great job portraying quirky, creepy characters.
Probably draws inspiration from being a creep irl, lol
@primaryone3468 you are not wrong. His reality show was creepy as hell.
That's right he was Tooms huh. The first monster of the week
Oh, right, he was Tooms in the X-Files. Thought I recognized him. Creepy dude.
He apparently married some 16 year old chick who has the most unreadable Wikipedia page I've ever come across.
@@steel749he also played the character of Jigsaws brother in the movie Punisher: War Zone. He was crazy as hell in that movie too! When he's first introduced in that movie, he's in a insane asylum I believe and an orderly/aide would torment him by eating his applesauce. So when his brother finally freed him, he attacks the orderly and says..."I'm going to get my applesauce back!" while holding a knife! Implying he was going to cut the dude open and get it back out of his stomach! That was truly terrifying and unsettling!
Always impressed how you often provide life saving advice.
Thank you for the upload Mr. Roanoke! I always look forward to your videos! Love the way you break things down in these!
I enjoy that you explained the creatures MELTING in the first sign of sunlight as scientifically as possible, rather then relying on the studio just using a weakness to sunlight as a reason why these things aren't all over the place.
By golly… I’m paralyzed.
I sure hope no horrible cruel monster burrows into my sweet succulent life meat
Only three minutes in and I'm already smiling and invested. You've really developed your banter and commentary to artful mastery thank you for sharing these with us.
Could be an offshoot of the same animal that evolved into the platypus they also have a venom spike, are mammals, and are crazy weird haha
One of my very favorite little-known films! Thank you for giving it a watch, and a breakdown, Roanoke!
I watched this movie around a decade ago. It had fallen to the deep recesses of my mind. Im so glad youve decided to cover this
My man Roanoke be just casually cussing in Jamaican at 9:33. I love it!
Henry is the crazy live wire dude in every movie that either gets everyone mad or into trouble.

Fun fact: Christopher Columbus though he'd landed in India when he hit Hispaniola, so he called them "Indians" and the name just kind of stuck, even though they're not from India.
My (First Nations Canadian) Indian grandma always told me "Indians call eachother Indians, so you can too."
Yeah, I've heard many Navajo use the word Indians, and the ones I personally know don't think anything of it. Plus, a lawyer I follow has pointed out numerous times that Indian is a legal blanket term referring to all Native Americans that can prove useful in legal cases to enforce treaties and the like. I guess at the end of the day, if everyone knows what you're talking about and it's not an insult, then a word's done its job.
i thought it was cause he though he landed in the "indies" like oceania? though ig india is included in that right?
@@tonypringles2285 Yes, the East Indies were originally named after India, so it's the same difference.
perhaps it's similar but not really the same@@Unpainted_Huffhines
A good half of my family are Cherokee and Shawnee, and the only people I've ever heard whine about the term "Indians" and try to correct people to use "Native Americans" instead, are white people. Usually white women, college age to about 40, and always claiming that "Indian" is somehow offensive to a very diverse set of tribes they know nothing about it, despite the word "Indian" never being viewed as a pejorative or slur until about 1990 or so, when Political Correctness suddenly became a thing.
Anyway, "India" during the time of Columbus was used as a general term for Asia as a continent. So he was effectively referring to the Hispaniola peoples as Asians. Which they are, actually, at least ethnically. So he wasn't even wrong, he was more correct than most people until modern anthropology developed.
The really ironic part of all this is that the Indians in India also didn't call themselves Indians. The subcontinent has long been known as "Bharata", after the probably mythical emperor (Bharata) who conquered the peoples of the subcontinent in the distant past.
"India/Indians" comes from Greek "Indos", as a reference to the Indus River and the lands beyond (very similar to how Ethiopia was once a general term for everything south of northern Africa). The term was applied to the subcontinent by Europeans, to group together about a thousand different cultures under one name. Much like how "Hindu" is a Greek/Persian word for the Indian religion and not an actual Indian word, also derived from the Indus River. It didn't become used by the Hindus until about the 18th century AD, from direct European influence, to distinguish them from Muslims and other religions in the region.
Ive watched every single one of your videos. These are great and are inspiring and I love both the hilarous names for force multipliers as well as your other words for happenings and things. Great content keep it up!
ah yes i love watching fictional monsters who topple the human species in the food chain as a potent predator in the most horrific way possible
Best Thanksgiving gift I could have hoped for, thank you Roanoke for the gift. Happy Thanksgiving my brother in science and culture.

It's because of your fun insight on the brain and how it works and how cells work that I'm writing a sci fi book with a mutation that I can now write and work into my book better. I also can say I'm doing research now when I'm watching your videos lol thanks for making my love of science a reboot.
Love your videos man, thank you. This was a good one for me as i liked the film, so it was nice to see your breakdown on it.

All the reservations in this state (SD) are like that. Absolutely nothing like the Pasqua-Yaqui, Hopi or Navajo in AZ or any tribes I've visited elsewhere.

Welp, I just learned that angler fish are WAY bigger than I thought. That's slightly terrifying.
I expected some terrifyingly fast centipede when I googled "velocipede" but apparently it's just a "human powered land vehicle with atleast one wheel".
So basically a bicycle, skateboard, anything like that.
Velocipede is a pokemon, and is only horrifying if you think giant (think about as tall as a smaller horse but as long as a bus and able to rear up like a snake but maintain that pose indefinitely) extremely venomous intelligent centipedes are horrifying. Personally, they have kind eyes.
It is also the predecessor to the modern bicycle.
nah, he seems like a chill guy
Good people, those centipedes
I think you're thinking of scolipede, it's first form is called venipede.

That scene with the horse stepping on the paralyzed persons chest cavity fucked me up
Reminds me of the troodons from jurassic park the game. Theyd bite you, which would paralyze you, then they would drag you off somewhere secluded, tear into your gut, and then lay their eggs in you. All that while youre still alive and its implied that youre fully aware of whats going on. Basically you double as a warm nest, and food for the babies when they hatch.
You're not aware. Not entirely. There has been significant brain damage by the point you've been made into a living incubator tank.
It’s so crazy the way you explain the science makes it seem like biology in some climates just develops into microscopic chemical make-up warfare, fucking interesting as hell
Hey Roanoke. If you really want to feed your hatred of angler fish and the deep ocean, check out the movie Leviathan. It has similarities to Underwater, but with a sorta Resident Evil/Dead Space twist.
That's actually a pretty decent horror film
@@CharlesH-t9r it's been a while since I've seen it but I do remember it being good. And it's right up his alley wothnthe wierd body horror science
Leviathan is a great movie! And I would also recommend Roanoke doing an analysis of the giant Depladon/crab-like Creature from the movie Deep Star Six! It Came out during the same year as Leviathan.
Papa Roanoke this is the second time you’ve dunked on South Dakota recently and I appreciate the recognition.
I'd love to see you do a video on the Mimics from Edge of Tomorrow. Your take on their biology would be fascinating to listen to.
Fun enough, but mimics from "all you need is kill" book, on which "edge of tomorrow" is based, are robots. Aliens sent autonomous terraforming ships to Earth, some of them was shot down by humans, but one has landed in the ocean where it's computer used starfish as base to create what people are know as mimics. Mimics in book also change environment around them, because terraforming is their main purpose, for example water near them became white and toxic. And their time reverting ability was more complicated than in movie.
@@mixail267 I know there are plenty of differences between the book and movie that would make for a interesting comparison, but Roanoke as far as I know doesn't cover books, and the movie's rendition of Mimics are different enough that they could be considered their own thing. A species of weird tentacular creatures made of silicon shards, capable of moving at incredible speeds, likely due to a high internal body temperature caused by an incredibly fast metabolism. They're different enough that they'd make for a cool video.
Paralysis is one of my biggest fears as well, mainly because you literally cant do anything but watch what happens
I remember watching this movie a long time ago. I always thought maybe there might be a sequel due to the 'They wake up every third generation' sounds like such a set-up for more movies set in modern times. But I've only seen the one film. Maybe because it kind of reminded me of Tremors? And Tremors had their prequel set in cowboy time. Thus, this film is a Nihilistic Tremors.
The director made a short film called "Blood Red Earth" focused on the Utes dealing with Burrowers. All subtitles. It came out a year after the film, but I think he must've made it first and then the full film is based on it. It's more like a prequel/side story, and very short, about twenty minutes. The film is better.
yano drinkin kuza the holidays then hearin "angler fish" from roanoke makes ya day better
love the content Roanoke ❤️
These things can't be killed by man...
Roanoke Gaming: "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
so the burrower is a missing link between platypus(venom spur on leg) and a ground possum...if the dang thing lays eggs and sweats milk I blame Australia
I always do. I blame Australia for all the batshit insane things that live there (like a wee octopus that can fit on your finger and end your life with a bite) AND for the batshit insane things that apparently didn't get the memo that they're supposed to be in Australia.
Australia is literally the hell on earth so I’d say the blame being placed there is justified.
I actually grew up in South Dakota. In fact the house i lived in was the very first building ever built in our town, it was a trade post back then, and would have been roughly 15 years old at the time this movie took place
For some reason this monster remindes me alot of a bloodsucker from stalker games.
For those that dont know bloodsuckers are humanoid creatures that feed on thhe blood of its victims, they ambush stalkers with their ability to go invisible because of their mutation(probably) hitting the lonely stalker in the head and dragging it to a cave or a dark place were it either dies before geting eating or living and being kinda of a livestock were 1 to a group of bloodsuckers will start to suck you, bit by bit, not so much that you dont die and you can live as long as they can drag it on
Man I Love Stalker.
I’d drive in an apocalypse to go make sure that impala finds a new home
I found this film depressing when i watched it and realised everyone paralysed was doomed and only the natives knew what did it, yet they're going to get wiped out. 😞
"In the desolate wasteland of South Dakota" damn bro 😭😭
