this movie is genuinely so cool. it's low budget, filmed in five days, with very little script, and it made me feel so uneasy and I never quite figured out who was the real Emily in the end (maybe it's me)
In fact, the film does not imply that there is a "right version", they are just the same people in different realities that (perhaps) had always existed in parallel.
The fact that the Emily 1 got the ring and then in the bathroom It wasnt in her hand but there were two rings, one of them on the floor. the last Emily was not the 1 Emily but idk anything else hahahaha
Maybe, maybe not. One person I saw suggested that the movie implies the effects of the comet had started taking effect before they even arrived to the house and maybe none of them are even the originals to begin with.
At the end protag girl did find a reality that just chilled inside, she tried to kill herself and take her place, infinite realities you're gonna be a piece of shit in at least one of em
Conversely, it just takes one reality to go out to cause all of them to go out. It's a paradox of things that exist across multiple realities. If it happens in one reality, it happens in all of them. If it doesnt happen in one reality, it doesnt happen in any of them.
I think the last group she managed to find and infiltrate did just that, they stayed in. I could be wrong, though. It appears they didn't have any bizarre things happen to them and they never left, hence why they all seem not weirded out by the night before's events. That is until that one guy gets a call from his girlfriend while the alternate reality one is standing there in front of him.
This is legit one of the best "one room" movies. They managed to write such a interesting and complex plot that mostly happens inside a single house. I remember watching it not knowing about any spoilers and I had an amazing time, and often I thought about the plot long after I was done watching the movie.
It helps that they have a group of actors & actresses that are able to work so well with each other. Also, Nicholas Brendon is my boi from Sunnydale and can do no wrong in the parts he's played ...
i feel the exact same way, and was actually just earlier this week remembering the nuances of this movie but completely forgetting the title to go back and watch it again. This comes on in my recommended today, and I am elated but also a bit suspicious. I might go outside and look skyward just to make sure there isn't any lingering comets abound 🙄
@@lovecchio420 yep I love Triangle as well. By itself it was already an amazing movie to me, but recently I found a youtube video explaining what the plot really meant and I was mind blown at how deep that movie really is. Timecrimes is one I still have to watch tho, thanks for reminding me. Heard good things about that one.
something i also noticed is that there's a conversation in the beginning between Beth and Lee, where Beth asks Lee where she got the plant and Lee answers that it's from a store called Galaxy. and then some other time in the movie Em hears they have the same conversation. she is at a different house than she was in the beginning.
Every time a decision is made where there are multiple variables, it’s splits the reality. Glow sticks split it by 3 for example. The fact Amir brought up putting a random item in the box, means there really are infinite realities present. Every decision to go outside, make a blackmail plan, when you turn on the generator…all splits reality. Hugh’s brother was right. Stay inside. Ride it out. What a fun movie
@@Digitalgems9000 there's no way parallel universes exists, sure there could be other universes but why would there be ones like ours? there's waayyyyy too many variables for there to be worlds similar to ours (where we'd have clones and shit)
@@mrcool76789if there are parallel universes then wouldn't that mean an endless amount of universes that are slightly similar to one another, similar to how 1 is close to 2 and 2 is close to 3 and 9 is close to 8 & 10 yet not close to 1 and so forth
@@tb8654 I don't see why that would be the case. there's really no proof either way but I just think there's so many variables within our own world that the odds that another is the exact same are impossible. how many boulders in this world are EXACTLY the same? none, they may be close but they are not the same. there's nothing that would prove there would be infinite amount of universes. probably millions but not enough that there would be some like ours.
Michael S. While you are correct, your sentence is incorrect. (Just “have” and then a comma would never exist). It would be more like, while you said “movies has taught me one thing.” You instead need to put “movies have taught me one thing.” This wasn’t an attack at the so called “grammar police.”
You could actually see someone from another reality (Green 40:27) spying on the blue house through the window a little after the first blackout , and I also believe Amir and Laura already walked through the dark space before entering the house. That's why she didn't know that he was on the show Roswell, and her character in the beginning doing Yoga, but another version of Laura mentioned Yoga towards the end of the movie.
for real! I mean she has already seen that for the most part their counter parts are the same people. If I saw myself I'd definitely be my own best friend haha
Remember in one part of the movie where someone says they are the “dark version of themselves” what if Emily killed the nice version of Emily because she is the dark version of the other Emily kinda confusing but I guess that’s what the movies about
has anyone noticed they probably switch house as soon as the comet appears? they all walk out together and point out how dark it is, then walk back in and a glass is broken on the table and beth says "i didnt even see that get knocked over". they must've found a different empty house where someone had broken a glass during dinner
no I just think the comet had an effect on glass the same way the phone screens cracked, although this would imply that the comet doesn't have that effect in all dimensions as one of the versions of Hugh didn't have a cracked screen
@@georgekimani488 Haha, reminds me of another psychological thriller movie called Exam where job applicants are given blank pieces of paper and almost no further instructions
My first though is that they should've gotten a rope, long hose, tied sheets together, etc and tie it to their front fence or something before walking away from their house, this way the rope would lead them exactly back to where they came from, and if the rope or whatever they used got cut off in the dark area, that'd mean they passed realties and it's impossible to get back to your own. Or if they were smart, just stay tf inside lol, who really would go check on a neighbour with power? Whenever my neighbour has electricity when the power goes out, I know it's a generator and i'm like "they're lucky" and go back inside.
@@somerandomuser5155 the last one did exactly that if she never came to their house and tried to kill her doppleganger they would never even knew what was happening
@@alexandraluster284 He was a paranoid alcoholic and assumed the other one would be the same, so for him it was about who's gonna launch the preemptive attack.
One more thing that i find crazy is that the first group we see from the beginning is not even the original group because they took the box which already existed, also, which means there were already infinite or quite a few realities existing before their party which we see in the beginning. Everyone there is already a different reality
Didn’t expect this movie to be on here since it hasn’t attracted a lot of main stream attention. Watched it many times and recommended to all my friends. Thanks for covering this movie.
Note, i think that the comet was already switching stuff up even before everyone was present at the dinner party. I think the whole conversation about the Yoga/actor thing was a clue that the plot had already taken place. Also, there's another possibility that emily and whoever her boyfriend's name is (don't remember) could have already belonged from a different reality, but I'm not so sure about that one.
There is the theory that everything that has ever happened, is happening, and ever will happen is happening all at once. Don’t ask me how it works I’ve just heard of the theory before lol
Yep. Everything was happening sooner in the other universes hence why there was already a house with a light on in each one. Those had already got around to turning on the generator.
I think the entire movie is supposed to be a metaphor for looking back at life and wondering how different your life would be if you made different choices. In the beginning, there’s a big emphasis on the dancer girl when she told everyone that her big moment was basically stolen. She looks like she regrets it so much. Later in the film, a guy says “what if we’re the bad version of ourselves all along” and that’s when the dancer girl goes to find a better version of herself. In the ending, she’s wearing the fake ring and all seems well until the husband gives her real ring to her. This sort of breaks the illusion that this is her life. Then he gets the call and she’s left there with that reality check. Basically, the movie is saying it’s pointless thinking about the what ifs in life since you can never escape from the reality of the situation.
Yes!! I think the "spot outside that's darker than the others that you can't return from" symbolizes trauma or life events that greatly alter your path in life. There's many of these places we could have gone to, but there's just one path we're on, and seeing what could have been can only cause hurt
I like this alot. I never thought about it metaphorically, but it's a spot on observation. Stop wishing you could be a different version of yourself because you never will be, you'll always be the version of yourself that you currently are.
I f*cking know right.Besides I think the characters in these movies are pretty dumb. If I would have met myself I wouldnt have instantly thought about killing my doppleganger lol
@@BG-qf7kc You say that now, but if any of us found ourselves in this situation I think we may do things we wouldn't even consider currently. I'd like to think I'd just sit around and try to act calm and try to keep everyone else calm, but in reality I have no clue how I'd actually react if I found out there were millions of alternate me's out there just hanging out. I might have a panic attack and freak the fuck out for all I know. That's a pretty crazy thing to be aware of. It's hard to even fathom what that situation would be like lol. Maybe you wouldn't think about killing yourself, but I think if that actually happened, we have the right to be a little dumb lol. So even though I wanted them to do different things, I can't really blame them for not doing different things.
One Key point I caught that I think is very important is the last house Emily finds you can hear them asking what they would do in Vietnam. So in that house, it appears she agreed to go on the trip with her boyfriend. There is a theory that every single time you have the opportunity to make a choice there are parallel realities for every possible choice or outcome. So it almost seems like the nightmare reality is because she was indecisive and didn’t go but at the end when she finds the house that seems happy and fairly normal, she did decide to go. Just a thought my peeps
It`s a well known theory, and I like it. Based a short story about it at school. Yes, you`re right. Our Emily (the _main_ protagonist in this story) wished for a better life and was willing to commit murder for it in her search for the perfect reality. So to the other Emily our Emily was pure nightmare. We know she wasn`t completely evil, but yet she ended up being the "dark version" of herself.
The fact that I only heard of this movie this 2022 (and I'm such a sucker for movies like this) & after I saw it, I fear I may have jumped into a different reality. That explains the covid & the war.
@@Oyasumi05 a 2009 indie film it was based by two people with high degree of mathematics and applied a possible away to show time travel but goes south quicky
This movie is about alternate realities though not time travel right? If you like crazy time travel movies like primer or triangle try predestination and time crimes they are amazing.
I watched this without any prior knowledge and I was amazed and surprised by how interesting and sci-fi it was. I was expecting some generic drama but man it was so much better than I expected.
Me too. I saw it on Netflix or one of the streaming services so I watched a trailer and was so glad I watched the movie. After watching it I went to TH-cam and found an illustrated explanation that helped it make more sense and explained a lot. I followed the movie and loved it but the first time I saw it I didn't realize that Amir and his date were already from another reality which is why she didn't know he was on the show. It's definitely a movie that rewards repeat viewings.

@@TheTinLion 100%. I was rx’d 3 500mg vials a month by a psychiatrist who way over prescribed it (nasal spray) and I would just abuse the living fuck out of it. (Did this for about a year) and I never had a bad experience. Really not very likely to happen imo, for me it wasn’t a drug that could even induce a bad trip. If anything I feel like it is way less likely to happen on ket vs other disassociatives or hallucinogens. I don’t think I’ll do it again that being said
in my opinion, she chose the last reality not only because it was the best, but i think its also because the comet is breaking down and the coherence alternate reality things wouldve not stayed long like in her reality. Thats the reason why she looked at the trajectory of the comet to see where its heading and figuring out where the comet will go and when will it break apart
Did anyone else notice how he called this video “Explained” instead of “Ending explained?” As in there is an alternative reality where he just called his series explained because he is literally explaining the entire movie.
Saw this is 2015 I think.. it literally blew my mind.. I could think of nothing else. For a minuscule budget and an unknown cast this film really shows the power of an interesting story.
I just realised that we never knew when comet mixed up started (it wasnt when lights went out cause Hughs phone cracked before and in another reality that didnt happen), but thinking about it now it was probably right at the beginning when Emilys phone cracked, so she probably was in the wrong house with the wrong people the whole time ...
Exactly. The hints were there. Emily is the only 'original' character since the beginning of the movie. She arrives at the house of a different Mike and Lee.
Broooooo.... That's EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!! THE SCREENS BREAKING.... BEFORE ENTERING THE HOUSE , ON THE ROAD .... EVERYONE ELSE'S PHONE BROKE AFTER HER.... THE GLASS SHATTERING.... PEOPLE NOT KNOWING SMALL THINGS ABOUT OTHERS LIKE THE SMALL FACTS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST BRUNGS UP(IN HER TIMELINE) ARE DIFF..... EVEN THE GUY WITH THE "NEW" GIRLFRIEND WAS SWITCHED I THINK AS THEY ASK ABOUT HER YOGA.... BUT SHE SAYS I NEVER DID YOGA .... SHE AND HER BF BEING CHILL ON THE CALL BUT AS SOON AS THE PHONE BREAKS.... AND SHE ENTERS THE HOUSE ....HE STARTS ACTING DIFF OR RUDE OR UNCARING.....
Emily 1 (the one from the opening) got the good ending, she removed the sweater from Emily 2 when she dumped her in the trunk. The movie switches to Emily 3 who didn't take the sweater she gets the bad ending, she didn't remove the sweater from Emily 2 while she was in the trunk. Which leads to a reality that branches out where Emily 4 gets created (the Emily crawling towards the bathroom) Emily 4 gets dumped in the tub than disappears due to having no contact with anyone other than Emily 3 before the comet passed. Emily 2 stays in the trunk and doesn't disappears due to having contact with the others when we first see her on the couch. Since in this reality Emily 3 didn't take Em 2s sweater she was able to regain conscious and use her phone which I'm assuming this Emily's phone didn't crack. So to sum it up, the ending is showing us Emily 3s ending and not the OG Emily we've been watching since the beginning.
I feel like Emily had no reason in the first place to leave for another reality. I mean the evening was weird but far from catastrophic and this just caused unnecessary risks.
Good catch! I had to go back and re-watch. They show Emily deliberately take the sweater, but then as everyone walks out to view the comet, the Emily shown no longer has the sweater, implying it is a different thread than what we just watched up to that point.
Dude you are just making stuff up. I agree that it is a different Em we are following through the ending. But no one dissapeared or got created. That's not how parallel universes work, this is not a Marvel movie where physics can be ignored. Everytime the camera blacks out, we are potentially following a different Em, at least in the ending. I think you're confusing parallel universes with time branch timelines. DC- parallel universes Marvel- timeline branching
@@krustykatt2413 nope. Her theories are correct. Others have written about it too. There are many Emilys in the end scenes. Pay attention to the sweater/no sweater. The tub Emily disappears ... remember the "Schrodinger's cat" example? That is what happened to her. Very cool movie!
I was just about to comment something like this. I have two ideas. 1, more money = more nosy executives butting in, dont want to take too many risks with all that money. 2. They just get lazy and tired and start churning out crap after their heyday
One benefit of good low budget movies is that they really have to rely on the storyline, possibly more than higher budget films. They have less to work with, so it appears they focus heavily the on storyline. Although, the visuals and settings for the low budget film The Void was really phenomenal; the monsters were all handmade, which beats CGI in the horror genre.
@@TurnipCart I totally agree with your assessment. The bigger the production company, the more likely you are to have producers meddling with the end product. Money talks, quality is a secondary consideration. That is the reason why I am way more drawn to indie movies lately. Go and watch "OMG we're in a horror movie", it's ridiculously silly and very self-referential, and most importantly, it's an indie movie.
@@Deeplycloseted435 I think we are beyond the point where big studios still are concerned about "good" storytelling. The MCU is kind of a freak in modern cinema, with even the worst films in phase 1 to 3 was still pretty damn good.
At the end Kevin was not in shock after knowing there's other Em because, the people from nice house (which Em chose to stay) came out to see what was the noise out there and everyone returned back to another reality. So there might be high chance that Kevin is also from different reality.
I think you are right that it is a different Kevin, because there’s no way he would believe the Emily on the phone, over the Emily standing in front of him, unless he already knew about the alternative realities. If someone was standing in front of me and talking to me on the phone at the same time, my first thought would be that the voice on the phone is fake rather than physical person in front of me is fake because technology can be manipulated.
There was also the first transference where Amir and Laurie arrived late after the comet started passing. Hence the Roswell/gig discussion. (I actually missed that until a friend pointed it out because I was too busy trying to remember if the guy was on Roswell not Buffy and I was the crazy one.) So from the beginning the dinner party was already f-d up with even our original Amir and Laurie being from another reality.
Great breakdown the only thing you missed was that was a 3rd Emily at the end. Not the Emily who drugged the other and threw her in the trunk. Notice she’s not wearing the sweater after the lights come back on.
@@arifhossain9751 maybe take your own advice in lieu of the fact that you think this is high-brow and not just difficult to understand because of the repeating yet conflicting sentence structure explaining this movie would be bound to have.
So after watching the movie and watching this breakdown i realized that the first group in the beginning were already mixed up and from different realities by the time they started their little dinner gathering. Now thats shum crazy shite right there.
Coherence is great, because the science and theory and logic they use in the story are real things scientists and people debate about to this day. I especially loved hearing the Schrodinger box metaphor being used in the movie to explain how there could be two of them at the same time. Great movie for science nerds like me.
If you haven’t done this already, A Perfect Host with David Hyde Pierce is absolutely nuts. It’s one of my favorite films like Coherence, The Exam, and Circle.

I have severe anxiety and insomnia and Foo the Flowerhorn videos help me a ton! It's a guy with meticulously manicured and perfect fish tanks full of different critters and he has time lapse videos of feedings and stuff to relaxing music... it sounds dumb, but it's extremely satisfying and relaxing.

It's super satisfying watching the tiny shrimpies eat and you can actually see them change color depending on the food, since they are perfectly clear.. it's gross but super interesting... lol
This movie was sick especially when they stay to solve their universal problem and the ending was good too. When everyone started naming their “random object”
8891 Z Maybe an infinite amount :) when I moved into a new place I had no tv or internet and a laptop with 3movies downloaded on it, them being my only visual entertainment for a couple weeks. If I had to guess, I’ve seen that movie probably fifteen times. Yes I still had questions even after all those viewings heh.
Weird observation: several of these actors are using variations of their first name. The guy playing Hue is named Hugo. Em’s name is Emily and Lauren’s name is Laurie
@@Evelyn-pl3we It must have really pissed you off... I don't even remember how it ended. I did write a premise for an episode the show as a contest on sci fi network... I made it to the finals; where I had to write with a few other people to make a more detailed premise... strangely enough my original premise was the same as the movie Final Destination. But as per rules of the contest... upon submitting my entry; I gave away my rights to the content. After that I never did another writing contest.
I was literally just thinking of this! And that episode where they thought they had made it back to their dimension and then realized the Golden Gate bridge was blue or something?
Jose Martinez I feel the same thing! I'm trying to figure it out! It's like I know exactly what's gonna happen without even finishing the video! They see themselves in the one house with power and their is multiple versions of them all using a different color glowstick and they have to try to figure out which of them belongs in which timeline!? I had serious deja vu when I first started watching it that I had to come to the comments to see if I was alone. I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this!
And just think, when she showed up, no one in that house was probably from her original reality. They were all probably jumbled up already at that point if they had to park and walk across tree dark space and just being in the general vicinity. That's why I think she didn't recognize him being the show he said he acted in. They were all already in different realities.
This video fell for the fake explaination. 90% will. The biggest clue in the entire movie is the woman not recalling the actor in the particular series. This dinner group did not change quantum realities, they were already from different realities. The effects happen before the dinner begins. We are led to believe we see when characters are going to the next Copenhagen timeline, but actually EVERY time a character is not observed they are reborn from one of infinite timelines. This occurs before there movie begins, not during dinner.
ISTG I legit wrote a paper on quantum phenomenons where I mentioned these things a few days ago and ever since then, all the videos I watch on TH-cam have these in them lmao

_Coherence_ had a budget of only $50,000?! I never would've guessed. I thought it had a higher budget (even for an indie movie). It was a very well-done movie. I appreciated its exploration of theoretical-scientific concepts.
If you were confused watching the movie, youll still be confused. He didnt explain the movie, he just gave a summary of what happened...not WHY things happened
The comet creates a portal to an infinite number of alternate realities. Who knows why, its a movie. There is a "darker space" down the street where the portal starts. When the power goes out, hugh goes down the street to use the landline of the "lit up" house (which is alt reality mikes house). There is an original "Mikes house" and original characters that start the movie. Throughout the film, almost all of them get switched with different versions of themselves due to passing through the portal. Em hated her current life and wanted a better reality, so she purposefully goes through the portal, wandering around to find a better reality. In the end Em tries to replace herself in a "better" reality. The Em-2 escapes and calls the boyfriend; he realizes there are now two Ems somehow. End of movie.
this was an great movie. I suggest eeveryone go see it before watching this video, because the concept is one of the best part. I saw it at a limited screening and was surprised that it wasnt released in more theaters
I liked this movie. I watched it several months ago and I’m not someone who re-watches movies but I did with this one. It was well made for such a small budget.
This is the second 'Dinner Party' movie you've done lol First was 'The Invitation' and this is the second. Interesting how that kind of setting is able to be used for movies like this . Also, if I might suggest one, can you please do an 'Ending Explained' for the movie 23 starring Jim Carrey?
I have seen 23 a few times, if you watch it from beginning to the end and pay attention, i believe you'll understand it without a problem. Good movie though, wouldnt mind flix talk about it.
Only just watched this movie today and loved it and your video. One thing - I don't think the comet changed direction. Emily turns on the spot as she looks at it and we're seeing it from her perspective.
This movie reminded me a lot of Primer. I love when small filmmakers aren’t afraid to try and express large scientific ideas without holding the viewer’s hand
One of the few movies I haven't been able to determine the whole outcome by the first 15-20 min. I loved the movie! Simple and well written. The story, the friends, their talk all sound genuine.
I love this movie. I'm really into movies, stories, shows like this. I got hooked when I saw the episode "mirror image" from the twilight zone. After that I was like, more..more...MORE!!! stuff like this please lol
if I was convinced the realities where all scrambling I would probably sit back and be optimistic about it. I wouldnt leave the house but would welcome any new visitors to ours and probably ask them questions... I would try to make the best out of the situation.
This movie makes a really good statement about xenophobia. Even though the characters know _literally everything_ about the outsiders, they still respond with paranoid hostility. And that alone is the source of all their conflict.
I see your point but these circumstances are incredibly complex. The idea of meeting......me......does not sound that good. Something about the context of it sends shivers down my spine. On the other hand if I met 4 mes I'd probly be the least lonely I've ever been. Regardless there are theories about what causes the unsettling "uncanny" feeling we get from humanoid but not human things when we look at them. I think something primal and biological about us makes us uncomfortable with the concept of finding another version of ourselves. It's almost like a failsafe system. As if put there for a reason.
Xenophobia 😂 no Please tell me if you saw clones of everyone you knew, you would just go about your day. Really fucking doubt it. Nothing to do with you ABCphobias.
The movie implied that every possibility and action that a character wanted to take actually happened in one of the realities. So that means the guy who wanted to kill everyone to end it actually did that in one of the realities right?
Sorry for being a year late, but I don’t think so because it seems like his friends would talk him out of it in each reality and he would feel the pressure of that.
I think there's a plot hole with the writing of the dice numbers. Lee and Beth never left the "original house." Therfore everyone else were "visitors. BUT, if it was the original house, then the numbers that the "original Em" had written down in the notebook would still have been red. Not green... Before the original Em left, she asked for a "red marker."
This is my take: at some point, our Emily swapped timelines and ended up in the house where Amir and Hugh had stolen a box that had numbers written with a green marker inside. Our Emily originates from the house where fake Amir and Hugh(with the red glow sticks) took a box that had numbers written in red, and a ping pong paddle. In an attempt to return to their original location, Fake Amir and Hugh leave taking the box and the book they got from "our" Hugh's car. Unaware that Mike left a second time and is no longer an original from her house, our Emily tells fake Mike that Lee and Beth are the originals of the current house they're in; hence, why their number matches what was written down with the green marker. So, Lee and beth will be the originals of their house across all timelines because they never leave.
this movie is genuinely so cool. it's low budget, filmed in five days, with very little script, and it made me feel so uneasy and I never quite figured out who was the real Emily in the end (maybe it's me)
The real Emily is the one we followed till the end. Is just that she wanted the reality of the other Emily.
@@tagaway6173 no the Emily we get at the end is a different Emily, iirc they got switched the first time they left
In fact, the film does not imply that there is a "right version", they are just the same people in different realities that (perhaps) had always existed in parallel.
I hope it's you!
The fact that the Emily 1 got the ring and then in the bathroom It wasnt in her hand but there were two rings, one of them on the floor. the last Emily was not the 1 Emily but idk anything else hahahaha
If no realities left their homes and just sat down and had dinner like normal people would then none of this would have happened.
Maybe, maybe not. One person I saw suggested that the movie implies the effects of the comet had started taking effect before they even arrived to the house and maybe none of them are even the originals to begin with.
@@TurnipCart makes sense with all those letters they kept getting
At the end protag girl did find a reality that just chilled inside, she tried to kill herself and take her place, infinite realities you're gonna be a piece of shit in at least one of em
Conversely, it just takes one reality to go out to cause all of them to go out.
It's a paradox of things that exist across multiple realities. If it happens in one reality, it happens in all of them. If it doesnt happen in one reality, it doesnt happen in any of them.
I think the last group she managed to find and infiltrate did just that, they stayed in. I could be wrong, though. It appears they didn't have any bizarre things happen to them and they never left, hence why they all seem not weirded out by the night before's events. That is until that one guy gets a call from his girlfriend while the alternate reality one is standing there in front of him.
This is legit one of the best "one room" movies. They managed to write such a interesting and complex plot that mostly happens inside a single house.
I remember watching it not knowing about any spoilers and I had an amazing time, and often I thought about the plot long after I was done watching the movie.
It helps that they have a group of actors & actresses that are able to work so well with each other. Also, Nicholas Brendon is my boi from Sunnydale and can do no wrong in the parts he's played ...
i feel the exact same way, and was actually just earlier this week remembering the nuances of this movie but completely forgetting the title to go back and watch it again. This comes on in my recommended today, and I am elated but also a bit suspicious. I might go outside and look skyward just to make sure there isn't any lingering comets abound 🙄
Did you like Triangle and Timecrimes as well?
@@lovecchio420 yep I love Triangle as well. By itself it was already an amazing movie to me, but recently I found a youtube video explaining what the plot really meant and I was mind blown at how deep that movie really is.
Timecrimes is one I still have to watch tho, thanks for reminding me. Heard good things about that one.
Have to agree with you. Really ambitious concept, but produced on a shoestring budget...my favorite formula!
something i also noticed is that there's a conversation in the beginning between Beth and Lee, where Beth asks Lee where she got the plant and Lee answers that it's from a store called Galaxy. and then some other time in the movie Em hears they have the same conversation. she is at a different house than she was in the beginning.
Ya that part creeped me out
Yaa even I got shooked
That was the first time Emily became aware she's probably not in her original house

Wtf the attention to detail is crazy and to to think this was a improv in 5 days, damn
Every time a decision is made where there are multiple variables, it’s splits the reality. Glow sticks split it by 3 for example. The fact Amir brought up putting a random item in the box, means there really are infinite realities present. Every decision to go outside, make a blackmail plan, when you turn on the generator…all splits reality. Hugh’s brother was right. Stay inside. Ride it out. What a fun movie
Yes crazy
Producer actually said they don't believe in the infinite realities
@@Digitalgems9000 there's no way parallel universes exists, sure there could be other universes but why would there be ones like ours? there's waayyyyy too many variables for there to be worlds similar to ours (where we'd have clones and shit)
@@mrcool76789if there are parallel universes then wouldn't that mean an endless amount of universes that are slightly similar to one another, similar to how 1 is close to 2 and 2 is close to 3 and 9 is close to 8 & 10 yet not close to 1 and so forth
@@tb8654 I don't see why that would be the case. there's really no proof either way but I just think there's so many variables within our own world that the odds that another is the exact same are impossible. how many boulders in this world are EXACTLY the same? none, they may be close but they are not the same. there's nothing that would prove there would be infinite amount of universes. probably millions but not enough that there would be some like ours.

Michael S. While you are correct, your sentence is incorrect. (Just “have” and then a comma would never exist). It would be more like, while you said “movies has taught me one thing.” You instead need to put “movies have taught me one thing.” This wasn’t an attack at the so called “grammar police.”
Or Clue
You could actually see someone from another reality (Green 40:27) spying on the blue house through the window a little after the first blackout , and I also believe Amir and Laura already walked through the dark space before entering the house. That's why she didn't know that he was on the show Roswell, and her character in the beginning doing Yoga, but another version of Laura mentioned Yoga towards the end of the movie.

Instead of knocking myself out, I'd be like "hey I'm from another timeline, wanna be 'twins'?"
Positive geek.
for real! I mean she has already seen that for the most part their counter parts are the same people. If I saw myself I'd definitely be my own best friend haha
Remember in one part of the movie where someone says they are the “dark version of themselves” what if Emily killed the nice version of Emily because she is the dark version of the other Emily kinda confusing but I guess that’s what the movies about
But then who gets the guy? That was her whole motive, which is weak but yea
Go ahead, knock urself out...
has anyone noticed they probably switch house as soon as the comet appears? they all walk out together and point out how dark it is, then walk back in and a glass is broken on the table and beth says "i didnt even see that get knocked over". they must've found a different empty house where someone had broken a glass during dinner
no I just think the comet had an effect on glass the same way the phone screens cracked, although this would imply that the comet doesn't have that effect in all dimensions as one of the versions of Hugh didn't have a cracked screen

@@georgekimani488 Haha, reminds me of another psychological thriller movie called Exam where job applicants are given blank pieces of paper and almost no further instructions
My first though is that they should've gotten a rope, long hose, tied sheets together, etc and tie it to their front fence or something before walking away from their house, this way the rope would lead them exactly back to where they came from, and if the rope or whatever they used got cut off in the dark area, that'd mean they passed realties and it's impossible to get back to your own. Or if they were smart, just stay tf inside lol, who really would go check on a neighbour with power? Whenever my neighbour has electricity when the power goes out, I know it's a generator and i'm like "they're lucky" and go back inside.
For real like tf
When you go back inside. You’re in a different house. 😱
yeah i also proposed that
Maybe one of reality did just exactly that but we'll never see it 🤷♂️
@@somerandomuser5155 the last one did exactly that if she never came to their house and tried to kill her doppleganger they would never even knew what was happening

@@alexandraluster284 He was a paranoid alcoholic and assumed the other one would be the same, so for him it was about who's gonna launch the preemptive attack.
One more thing that i find crazy is that the first group we see from the beginning is not even the original group because they took the box which already existed, also, which means there were already infinite or quite a few realities existing before their party which we see in the beginning. Everyone there is already a different reality
Didn’t expect this movie to be on here since it hasn’t attracted a lot of main stream attention. Watched it many times and recommended to all my friends. Thanks for covering this movie.
I'm happy he did, more people need to experience this gem of a movie
The Clark Channel that’s why I love this channel!
Movies like this prove that budget is not nearly the most important aspect of movie making...
Exactly. It’s the acting, writing, and editing
But still important because the movie could've been much better. The filming, lighting and camera quality is absolute garbage.
Note, i think that the comet was already switching stuff up even before everyone was present at the dinner party. I think the whole conversation about the Yoga/actor thing was a clue that the plot had already taken place. Also, there's another possibility that emily and whoever her boyfriend's name is (don't remember) could have already belonged from a different reality, but I'm not so sure about that one.
Yes! Agreed
Yup you read my mind lol that part of the film did seem a bit weird and awkward and so I’m like “oh boy...” XD
There is the theory that everything that has ever happened, is happening, and ever will happen is happening all at once. Don’t ask me how it works I’ve just heard of the theory before lol
You are CORRECT. This video is wrong and should not have been made.
Yep. Everything was happening sooner in the other universes hence why there was already a house with a light on in each one. Those had already got around to turning on the generator.
When green glow stick Mike came and left 😂😂😀Hilarious!
I think the entire movie is supposed to be a metaphor for looking back at life and wondering how different your life would be if you made different choices.
In the beginning, there’s a big emphasis on the dancer girl when she told everyone that her big moment was basically stolen. She looks like she regrets it so much.
Later in the film, a guy says “what if we’re the bad version of ourselves all along” and that’s when the dancer girl goes to find a better version of herself.
In the ending, she’s wearing the fake ring and all seems well until the husband gives her real ring to her. This sort of breaks the illusion that this is her life. Then he gets the call and she’s left there with that reality check.
Basically, the movie is saying it’s pointless thinking about the what ifs in life since you can never escape from the reality of the situation.
Yes!! I think the "spot outside that's darker than the others that you can't return from" symbolizes trauma or life events that greatly alter your path in life. There's many of these places we could have gone to, but there's just one path we're on, and seeing what could have been can only cause hurt
👏
I like this alot. I never thought about it metaphorically, but it's a spot on observation. Stop wishing you could be a different version of yourself because you never will be, you'll always be the version of yourself that you currently are.
why you have to be so damn depressing :D
Considering most of this is set in just Mike's house, it's pretty cool how complex the plot is is!
I would love to see more movies that deal with parallel universes, I freaking love the concept
One of my favorite genres. That and time travel. Love those 2 concepts.
You should watch Comet (2014) then. Premise is somewhere along parallel universe as well.
Same!
In the tall grass
Yes parallel universes like Stargate SG-1! Not timeline branches like Marvel movies
Movies when they have a concept they can't explain fully: *Q U A N T U M*
Or, because it's a paradox!! Or, time travel!!! Ooooh!
Could you do better?
I f*cking know right.Besides I think the characters in these movies are pretty dumb. If I would have met myself I wouldnt have instantly thought about killing my doppleganger lol
"Quantum" One of the misused, overused and misunderstood words in science fiction.
@@BG-qf7kc You say that now, but if any of us found ourselves in this situation I think we may do things we wouldn't even consider currently. I'd like to think I'd just sit around and try to act calm and try to keep everyone else calm, but in reality I have no clue how I'd actually react if I found out there were millions of alternate me's out there just hanging out. I might have a panic attack and freak the fuck out for all I know. That's a pretty crazy thing to be aware of. It's hard to even fathom what that situation would be like lol.
Maybe you wouldn't think about killing yourself, but I think if that actually happened, we have the right to be a little dumb lol. So even though I wanted them to do different things, I can't really blame them for not doing different things.
One Key point I caught that I think is very important is the last house Emily finds you can hear them asking what they would do in Vietnam. So in that house, it appears she agreed to go on the trip with her boyfriend. There is a theory that every single time you have the opportunity to make a choice there are parallel realities for every possible choice or outcome. So it almost seems like the nightmare reality is because she was indecisive and didn’t go but at the end when she finds the house that seems happy and fairly normal, she did decide to go. Just a thought my peeps
It`s a well known theory, and I like it. Based a short story about it at school.
Yes, you`re right. Our Emily (the _main_ protagonist in this story) wished for a better life and was willing to commit murder for it in her search for the perfect reality. So to the other Emily our Emily was pure nightmare. We know she wasn`t completely evil, but yet she ended up being the "dark version" of herself.

Me too. I saw it on Netflix or one of the streaming services so I watched a trailer and was so glad I watched the movie. After watching it I went to TH-cam and found an illustrated explanation that helped it make more sense and explained a lot. I followed the movie and loved it but the first time I saw it I didn't realize that Amir and his date were already from another reality which is why she didn't know he was on the show. It's definitely a movie that rewards repeat viewings.

in my opinion, she chose the last reality not only because it was the best, but i think its also because the comet is breaking down and the coherence alternate reality things wouldve not stayed long like in her reality. Thats the reason why she looked at the trajectory of the comet to see where its heading and figuring out where the comet will go and when will it break apart

Saw this is 2015 I think.. it literally blew my mind.. I could think of nothing else. For a minuscule budget and an unknown cast this film really shows the power of an interesting story.
they also played their roles really well considering the fact they are not high payed actors or acting isnt their main job. ..
@@jesse4238Yeah, especially the actor that played the lead in Roswell, I think he did a great job!
@@alittlebitofjessicahe was in Buffy the vampire slayer so it’s not surprising he was a good actor
I just realised that we never knew when comet mixed up started (it wasnt when lights went out cause Hughs phone cracked before and in another reality that didnt happen), but thinking about it now it was probably right at the beginning when Emilys phone cracked, so she probably was in the wrong house with the wrong people the whole time ...
Exactly. The hints were there. Emily is the only 'original' character since the beginning of the movie. She arrives at the house of a different Mike and Lee.
Broooooo.... That's EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!! THE SCREENS BREAKING.... BEFORE ENTERING THE HOUSE , ON THE ROAD .... EVERYONE ELSE'S PHONE BROKE AFTER HER....
THE GLASS SHATTERING....
PEOPLE NOT KNOWING SMALL THINGS ABOUT OTHERS LIKE THE SMALL FACTS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST BRUNGS UP(IN HER TIMELINE) ARE DIFF.....
EVEN THE GUY WITH THE "NEW" GIRLFRIEND WAS SWITCHED I THINK AS THEY ASK ABOUT HER YOGA.... BUT SHE SAYS I NEVER DID YOGA ....
SHE AND HER BF BEING CHILL ON THE CALL BUT AS SOON AS THE PHONE BREAKS.... AND SHE ENTERS THE HOUSE ....HE STARTS ACTING DIFF OR RUDE OR UNCARING.....
Emily 1 (the one from the opening) got the good ending, she removed the sweater from Emily 2 when she dumped her in the trunk. The movie switches to Emily 3 who didn't take the sweater she gets the bad ending, she didn't remove the sweater from Emily 2 while she was in the trunk. Which leads to a reality that branches out where Emily 4 gets created (the Emily crawling towards the bathroom) Emily 4 gets dumped in the tub than disappears due to having no contact with anyone other than Emily 3 before the comet passed. Emily 2 stays in the trunk and doesn't disappears due to having contact with the others when we first see her on the couch. Since in this reality Emily 3 didn't take Em 2s sweater she was able to regain conscious and use her phone which I'm assuming this Emily's phone didn't crack.
So to sum it up, the ending is showing us Emily 3s ending and not the OG Emily we've been watching since the beginning.
I feel like Emily had no reason in the first place to leave for another reality. I mean the evening was weird but far from catastrophic and this just caused unnecessary risks.
Good catch! I had to go back and re-watch. They show Emily deliberately take the sweater, but then as everyone walks out to view the comet, the Emily shown no longer has the sweater, implying it is a different thread than what we just watched up to that point.
So one Emily was smart enough to escape the trunk but the other Emily had her phone so just waited in the trunk until morning? Hmmm lol
Dude you are just making stuff up. I agree that it is a different Em we are following through the ending. But no one dissapeared or got created. That's not how parallel universes work, this is not a Marvel movie where physics can be ignored.
Everytime the camera blacks out, we are potentially following a different Em, at least in the ending.
I think you're confusing parallel universes with time branch timelines.
DC- parallel universes
Marvel- timeline branching
@@krustykatt2413 nope. Her theories are correct. Others have written about it too. There are many Emilys in the end scenes. Pay attention to the sweater/no sweater. The tub Emily disappears ... remember the "Schrodinger's cat" example? That is what happened to her. Very cool movie!
Whew. It's already confusing enough to listen, I can't begin to imagine how it is to try and explain this to someone. Nice one.
I'm so happy you did this movie. This is such a great and underrated movie. Thank you!!
The more low budget films he covers the more I wonder why major productions can't give us more than predictable nonsense
I was just about to comment something like this. I have two ideas. 1, more money = more nosy executives butting in, dont want to take too many risks with all that money. 2. They just get lazy and tired and start churning out crap after their heyday
One benefit of good low budget movies is that they really have to rely on the storyline, possibly more than higher budget films. They have less to work with, so it appears they focus heavily the on storyline. Although, the visuals and settings for the low budget film The Void was really phenomenal; the monsters were all handmade, which beats CGI in the horror genre.
@@TurnipCart I totally agree with your assessment. The bigger the production company, the more likely you are to have producers meddling with the end product. Money talks, quality is a secondary consideration. That is the reason why I am way more drawn to indie movies lately. Go and watch "OMG we're in a horror movie", it's ridiculously silly and very self-referential, and most importantly, it's an indie movie.
Studios don’t want to take any risk. They know that $300 million spent on Avengers will quadruple their money.
@@Deeplycloseted435 I think we are beyond the point where big studios still are concerned about "good" storytelling. The MCU is kind of a freak in modern cinema, with even the worst films in phase 1 to 3 was still pretty damn good.
At the end Kevin was not in shock after knowing there's other Em because, the people from nice house (which Em chose to stay) came out to see what was the noise out there and everyone returned back to another reality. So there might be high chance that Kevin is also from different reality.
alo amir and laurie were different from the start as she didnt know the dude acted in the tv show
I think you are right that it is a different Kevin, because there’s no way he would believe the Emily on the phone, over the Emily standing in front of him, unless he already knew about the alternative realities. If someone was standing in front of me and talking to me on the phone at the same time, my first thought would be that the voice on the phone is fake rather than physical person in front of me is fake because technology can be manipulated.
There was also the first transference where Amir and Laurie arrived late after the comet started passing. Hence the Roswell/gig discussion. (I actually missed that until a friend pointed it out because I was too busy trying to remember if the guy was on Roswell not Buffy and I was the crazy one.) So from the beginning the dinner party was already f-d up with even our original Amir and Laurie being from another reality.
Great breakdown the only thing you missed was that was a 3rd Emily at the end. Not the Emily who drugged the other and threw her in the trunk. Notice she’s not wearing the sweater after the lights come back on.
This has to be the most ironically named movie ever, I barely understood anything in this wrap up.

And just think, when she showed up, no one in that house was probably from her original reality. They were all probably jumbled up already at that point if they had to park and walk across tree dark space and just being in the general vicinity. That's why I think she didn't recognize him being the show he said he acted in. They were all already in different realities.
I found this quite okay before but now I'm a bit more impressed realizing that this was low budget and filmed in pretty much 1 place.
This video fell for the fake explaination. 90% will. The biggest clue in the entire movie is the woman not recalling the actor in the particular series. This dinner group did not change quantum realities, they were already from different realities. The effects happen before the dinner begins. We are led to believe we see when characters are going to the next Copenhagen timeline, but actually EVERY time a character is not observed they are reborn from one of infinite timelines. This occurs before there movie begins, not during dinner.

You're Weird.
I sold my watch for ass money.
Yes!!!!!!finally a popular TH-camr reviewing one of my favourite movies.
Wow, this was confusing! It was wonderful to see Nicholas in a movie though. I remember him fondly from Buffy.
_Coherence_ had a budget of only $50,000?! I never would've guessed. I thought it had a higher budget (even for an indie movie). It was a very well-done movie. I appreciated its exploration of theoretical-scientific concepts.
Seems like more budget = more plot holes
If you were confused watching the movie, youll still be confused. He didnt explain the movie, he just gave a summary of what happened...not WHY things happened
The comet creates a portal to an infinite number of alternate realities. Who knows why, its a movie.
There is a "darker space" down the street where the portal starts.
When the power goes out, hugh goes down the street to use the landline of the "lit up" house
(which is alt reality mikes house).
There is an original "Mikes house" and original characters that start the movie. Throughout the film, almost all of them get switched with different versions of themselves due to passing through the portal.
Em hated her current life and wanted a better reality, so she purposefully goes through the portal, wandering around to find a better reality.
In the end Em tries to replace herself in a "better" reality. The Em-2 escapes and calls the boyfriend; he realizes there are now two Ems somehow. End of movie.
this was an great movie. I suggest eeveryone go see it before watching this video, because the concept is one of the best part. I saw it at a limited screening and was surprised that it wasnt released in more theaters
The whole understudy thing is a nice touch. Good setup.
I always give my friends ketamine, it is great for keeping them in the basement! 10/10, would use again!
I'm honestly sad that most of the audience don't watch any of the films foundflix covers and uses his videos as a video summary.
How do you know they don’t?
I liked this movie. I watched it several months ago and I’m not someone who re-watches movies but I did with this one. It was well made for such a small budget.
Just started the video, haven't seen the movie. My favorite combo for watching this channel. Much love buddy!
This is the second 'Dinner Party' movie you've done lol
First was 'The Invitation' and this is the second. Interesting how that kind of setting is able to be used for movies like this
.
Also, if I might suggest one, can you please do an 'Ending Explained' for the movie 23 starring Jim Carrey?
Jerry Vandenberg So you don’t end up being in a movie and possibly die, don’t go to dinner parties. It is a trap!
He should review Clue
I have seen 23 a few times, if you watch it from beginning to the end and pay attention, i believe you'll understand it without a problem.
Good movie though, wouldnt mind flix talk about it.
Can you please explain “I trapped the devil”
Tasheema Dowery from the title, I would say I am impressed on his/her ability to trap the devil.
That movie was super confusing. When he’s having visions and all that. One of those movies that makes you feel like you’re tripping. Lol
Good taste in films queen
Only just watched this movie today and loved it and your video.
One thing - I don't think the comet changed direction. Emily turns on the spot as she looks at it and we're seeing it from her perspective.
correct
This is one of my FAV underrated movies. So glad to see someone reviewing it!!!
Just watched this movie. It’s been the best movie I’ve seen in the past year. It keeps you on your toes.
I loved this movie and in general these kinds of mind bending movies are amazing. Wish they made more!
I never watched a movie so twisted!! I love this movie
This movie reminded me a lot of Primer. I love when small filmmakers aren’t afraid to try and express large scientific ideas without holding the viewer’s hand
One of the few movies I haven't been able to determine the whole outcome by the first 15-20 min. I loved the movie! Simple and well written. The story, the friends, their talk all sound genuine.
I love this movie. I'm really into movies, stories, shows like this. I got hooked when I saw the episode "mirror image" from the twilight zone. After that I was like, more..more...MORE!!! stuff like this please lol
X-Files!
Just another proof that you don't need a lot of money to make a great movie👏👏👏👏👏
if I was convinced the realities where all scrambling I would probably sit back and be optimistic about it. I wouldnt leave the house but would welcome any new visitors to ours and probably ask them questions... I would try to make the best out of the situation.
You woulda been the first one I took out back with the bat
This movie makes a really good statement about xenophobia. Even though the characters know _literally everything_ about the outsiders, they still respond with paranoid hostility. And that alone is the source of all their conflict.
Eh, yeah it's about fear of the unknown and chaos unfolding, but xenophobia is kind of a reach.......
I would have just walked up to them.
I see your point but these circumstances are incredibly complex. The idea of meeting......me......does not sound that good. Something about the context of it sends shivers down my spine. On the other hand if I met 4 mes I'd probly be the least lonely I've ever been.
Regardless there are theories about what causes the unsettling "uncanny" feeling we get from humanoid but not human things when we look at them. I think something primal and biological about us makes us uncomfortable with the concept of finding another version of ourselves. It's almost like a failsafe system. As if put there for a reason.
And one reason for this was darkness too
Xenophobia 😂 no
Please tell me if you saw clones of everyone you knew, you would just go about your day. Really fucking doubt it. Nothing to do with you ABCphobias.
The movie implied that every possibility and action that a character wanted to take actually happened in one of the realities. So that means the guy who wanted to kill everyone to end it actually did that in one of the realities right?
Sorry for being a year late, but I don’t think so because it seems like his friends would talk him out of it in each reality and he would feel the pressure of that.
@@RawringRaverForever What do you mean year late? He just posted this comment yesterday.
@@Nathan-ph5ed no, are you from this reality even?
@@Nathan-ph5ed it says one hour ago for me?
There's a time travel movie called Timecrimes thats a but trippy and all over the place. It's in Spanish so I hope ya like subtitles.
I came across this movie from watching Pretty Much It, and I really liked it! Anyone who’s thinking of watching it, definitely do!
lmaoo i was watching Pretty Much It then saw this
Is it me or do u have to watch more then one vid
I think there's a plot hole with the writing of the dice numbers. Lee and Beth never left the "original house." Therfore everyone else were "visitors. BUT, if it was the original house, then the numbers that the "original Em" had written down in the notebook would still have been red. Not green... Before the original Em left, she asked for a "red marker."
This is my take: at some point, our Emily swapped timelines and ended up in the house where Amir and Hugh had stolen a box that had numbers written with a green marker inside. Our Emily originates from the house where fake Amir and Hugh(with the red glow sticks) took a box that had numbers written in red, and a ping pong paddle. In an attempt to return to their original location, Fake Amir and Hugh leave taking the box and the book they got from "our" Hugh's car.
Unaware that Mike left a second time and is no longer an original from her house, our Emily tells fake Mike that Lee and Beth are the originals of the current house they're in; hence, why their number matches what was written down with the green marker.
So, Lee and beth will be the originals of their house across all timelines because they never leave.
They all left the house to go and look at the comet, they came back to a broken glass. It’s different realities from the start of the movie
Whoa. I have not seen Nicholas Brennan on screen since the Buffy/Angel era.
I all ways just be bored until I see that spesial notification ind it bright up my day
Jah Bless
Thank you for making these videos! I appreciate all of the hard work and time that goes into making them!!
