Ghost logic: always act aggressive and obtuse when trying to help someone.
@PHDonovan So they were angrily helping him...
actually, that's just OUR perception.
They can't help how they look. They were brutally killed. And most of the fear comes from how they look, and the music WE hear in the movie.
The kid is scared and refuse to just take a look at them to see what they want...so in order to really save him, or whatever, they HAVE to grab him, drag him...whatever.
You say aggressive and obtuse, but in reality, they were always just helpful and as things got worse, KNOWING you weren't listening or caring or whatever...they felt they'd just make you safe.
@@agonleed3841 How they look and sound isn't the issue. It's the "catch more flies with honey" approach. Those kid ghosts have to remember they were in Eli's shoes when living and he's also terrified about the general situation; even if there weren't any ghosts around. So instead of writing his name to reveal something important when looked at in mirror view and upside down why not write on pen and paper what he needs to know? It's not just this movie. In "The Conjuring 2" why couldn't the old man ghost just tell the girls/investigators "Hey, I'm not the bad guy here, there's this Valak demon around"?
@@ZombieDragQueen again...OUR perception.
We're the movie goers...take The 6th Sense theory.
The kid can see the ghosts...and every time WE see them from HIS perspective, they're fucked up in some manner. But he states in his dialogue, they don't know they're dead. But..if you saw yourself with a gunshot, or hanging from the cieling, or part of your face gone..wouldn't you think something was up?
But we find out later that Bruce is dead the whole time...so maybe we've been seeing him through his own perspective. Like when he saw himself move a table away from the basement door..but when he realize he's dead, the table is there. He never moved it. He, ghostly thought he did..from the perspective of someone who doesn't know he's dead.
So maybe the kid saw him with the gunshot and blood all over his shirt..WE didn't see that for the sake of the later reveal.
my point. Perspectives.
You ask why the ghost wrote upside down and all that?
Maybe it was their perspective.
They are ghosts...WE don't know how that middle existence works.
We also see the ghost ONLY wrote that one "letter"
Maybe it takes a lot of ghostly effort to make things in the living world move...like the movie title Ghost with Patrick Swayze. he has to concentrate crazy hard to move anything.
so, with that hard concentration, that one kid was able to do that one "letter".
And as things went on,...they are desperately trying to get him to see..but they can't exactly talk to him. So their equivalent of yelling, is like us doing all caps...instead it's their frantic moving...breaking the glass and writing it all over the cabinets.
But let's go back to you saying, "kids gotta know"
lmao...I have an 11yr old son...there are a LOT of things that I know he should know, yet he still acts as if he doesn't.
Yea, a couple of the kids may have been haunted, but not like NOW that they're dead, ghosts going in and out of the planes, they are sitting by with a cup of tea and thnking of the best way to communicate.
They are just going in and out of planes trying to communitcate when they can, however they can. No plan. just do.
And that's about where I expect kids that age thinking process to be..disembodied persons may be even worse off.
Then there's that t.v. show, "Ghost Whisperer" and there's this one thing that I hate about that show...she gives the message from a ghost, to their loving live person...in a different way than the ghost says.
Like, if the ghost says, "Tell her I have always loved her since the day I first met her"
The "ghost whisperer" will translate that to, "He says he always admired you" That's it.
Completely undermines the vibe that ghost was trying to give.
But what if the truth is that the person simply only gets vibes/certain ideas? Never ACTUAL coherent words/sentences...
Some people are stronger mediums and THEY can understand more accurately, while others..it's like they are hearing spanish and they only took one year of it. So they get a general idea, but don't actually get the full thing.
but instead of language, with ghosts, you have to go by feel, sight, etc...sense instead of what we are used to from a live person.
But you have to admit, still, that most of the "aggression" is simply a perspective based on rush camera and music, and the sight of the ghosts.

"Should I pray to satan?"
"Or adopt a child?"
she slept with Satan duh
Well to be fair, she probably wanted a child of her own, like her own flesh and blood.

FutureCreator Even so, couldn’t she just get a sperm donor, or a surrogate? Sure they’re expensive, but less expensive than one’s soul, lol
@@ursaminor9780 I dunno, maybe her ovaries were messed up. Or it was a plothole, both options are equally valid.

The ghost werent haunting him they were just trying to help out their little brother 😔😔😔
And by being older siblings, they chose to go with the evil way
@@crowww5246 Just wait till he starts dating.
@@crowww5246 No, even if they are the children of satan, they didn't choose to be. That doesn't mean the children are evil, it just means they probably have powers, that can hurt someone. They just wanted to help Eli, that's it. Eli wasn't evil too. he still is the son of devil, so he punished those who lied to him lol
SauliusLT cool
I was just making a joke about how older siblings are mean to their younger siblings (like in a general sibling relationship) but you make a good point.
@@crowww5246 Oh ok I understand.
I think a prequel called "Haley" would be interesting, which shows Haley's story and how she found "dad".
I agree
How I met your father
I'd rather get a cool road trip sequel where they drive across the country setting stuff on fire until they find Satan who ends up being a really cool dad
@@donniejefferson9554 god, now i want that too.
@@Nathadegold same.
I knew paul wasnt the real dad, he had step dad vibes. Eli never respected him lol
The dad was jealous of the kid. I think if it was his, he would still be mad. It was the lack of love he thought he had.
Lmbo facts!
Plus, he says "I'm always faithful" or something along those lines, implying that the mom either cheated, or apparently fucked Satan
@Jhon D calm down
big step dad energy. but yeah i felt that too
The lengths people go to avoid adoption....
😂😂😂Right??? Like, ain't nobody got time for the devil to be they baby FAH-va!
It’s a movie
It’s a movie for gods sake it was just the plot if they did that the movie would no be interesting
@Chihaya Furu Still cheaper than getting your faced crushed in
It's a damn movie lol there's many people who are stupid , desperate, smart etc. Anything can happen I seem ppl play ouji boards. I call that stupidity

"Okay we need to exorcise this child of Satan, the master of all lies"

@@BangerangEliko which is dumb. They are their real parents because they are "real"-lly there for them
I don’t understand. You pray to Satan, then boom, you’re pregnant?
@@Sus-ke3bt devil works in shadowy ways.
When the father said “I’ve always been faithful” was directed towards her infidelity that she cheated and he stay faithful to their marriage not cause of his “religious beliefs”
that's what you THOUGHT...also what I thought.
her infidelity was with the evil one. I mean..it kinda works both ways.
I simply thought it was ONLY about her cheating. That kid wasn't really his, and he didn't care as much when push goes to shove or whatever. So he was ready and willing for the kid to die if it came to it. Whereas the mother wasn't ready to let go.
I wasn't far off, but I didn't think of anything religious
But turns out...that's EXACTLY what he meant. She lost her faith in god, which led her to pray to satan...
@@agonleed3841 YESSSS makes so much sense now
@David Parry lmao
Well if we getting that religious, the devil already roams the earth anyways so why wouldn’t they just stfu and live w the devil baby ... lol damn
@Jhon D ... Seriously? 😂😂 You know anyone personally who does? Last time I checked, Satanists do not approve of murder or animal sacrifices or whatever. They understand Satan was a righteous angel, who happened to disagree with "God" because he didn't think he was right. He loved humans. So because he disagreed and God refused to accept another perspective, Satan and other angels who agreed got tossed down to Earth.
... Do YOU agree with every single law someone has given you? (Parental or otherwise)
Imagine reaching out to satan before considering adoption
@@j.d6009 But to literally go to the worst entity isnt exactly a rational decision by any means. IMO, shes a fucking idiot. Its crazy cuz the dad was made out to be a bad guy when I think he was doing his best as he couldnt trust his own wife given what he suspected about her.

I probably would’ve turned to adoption before Satan lol
She must've really wanted a child naturally I guess. Still tho- y i k e s
"Independent adoptions in the US can cost between $8,000 and $40,000, although the average cost is between $10,000 and $15,000. Independent adoption costs can fluctuate much more than those through a private agency, and adoptive parents may not have their costs reimbursed in the case of a birth mother changing her mind". For that price, might as well turn to good ol' satan, am I right.

But the children never hurt anybody. Eli seemed like a pretty good kid before snapping. The church came for him first, they made him into the evil they saw him as.
Basically
Religion and a one-sided view of things usually does that. People aren't born evil. They're created through harsh conditions caused by unfortunate circumstances. Eli is probably still a good kid even after the incident because he can finally live a normal life. Sure he has powers and can kill people with ease, but that doesn't mean he'll do it for fun.
Lol y'all are delusional. The children never hurt anybody YET. But they couldn't even enjoy the sun because light hurt them since they were born from pure darkness. These kids are SATANS kids. Satan is literally the embodiment of chaos and evil lmao
@@julianramirez5076 That doesn't mean they were actually going to hurt people. If Eli was cured he might've been a pretty good person but as you said theg are made of darkness and you cant cure that. I suppose the boy didn't have much in ways of personality from being kept in the bubble. He couldn't even start killing little animals or being bullied. So he only didn't attack anyone cause he likely hadn't been exposed to that yet.
@@trialerrorsharer9398 Well actually they were trying to exorcise the devil from the kids. You don't know what could have been cured here because perhaps their research needed more resources but I don't think this is an example of religion doing something wrong. These were just people trying to help a child who had an illness that literally was going to make him evil. I'm sure these nuns have seen what happens when these sata spawns grow up. They probably get consumed by evil.
The mom drove the kids to meet satan. So she literally drove on the highway to hell.....

That end was so out of nowhere though. I laughed my ass of because it was just so ridiculous
SAMEEE
It felt so thrown together. Like they tried to combine as many horror tropes as possible and think that makes it unique and therefore good. I wasn’t impressed in the slightest with this movie
I kinda like it, usually in typical horror story the son of the devil just kill their human parents and establish his evil nature. But this one kept his human side, it's interesting and refreshing. 😁
@@h2owl205 yeah same... I actually liked this movie until I saw that ending... It was ridiculous and I was so annoyed about it. As if they couldn't think of a better ending
I thought it was cool, i dont care if its bad. If its cool, its cool.
So instead of A) adopting a child, or B) being honest and ending up with a Hellboy/Rin Okumura situation, she went to Satan AND lied to the son of The Prince of Lies.

The infidelity was foreshadowed by the way he emphasized “faithful” when he said he was a faithful man. The dialogue was pretty sharp at several points, notably, “Do you know what happened to the little boy who asked questions?”, and he replied very confused, “He got answers?”
Eli really doesn't seem to be evil. He was forced into channeling his demonic heritage by the fanatical attempts at pre-emptive punishment of those who claim to praise the lord of mercy, which is further supported by the fact he turns back into a normal kid once the crisis is over.
It's poetic, really.
Rubastax Akaso it’s one of those cases in wich you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.. just because he’s a demonspawn doesn’t mean he has to be evil !

Evil isn't born, its created. I think that's the message of this movie, Eli was sweet and misunderstood- and only became frustrated, and subject to violent outbursts when they *pushed* him to that. They continued to gaslight him the entire movie, so of course he would go 'evil'

I love when people use upside-down crosses as a demonic symbol but it's actually a symbol of humility
Since saint Peter requested to be crucified upside down since he felt he wasn't worthy to die upright
I didn’t know that wow. When did people start associating the upside down cross with devil?
@@finaudawai572 Probably just from people trying to be edgy. Cultural osmosis is a powerful thing.
Sorta it's not that he didn't feel worthy to be put right side up, it's that he didn't feel worthy to put up like Christ.
The upside down cross does mean "not Christ" in that way which is what lead to the people assuming it's a devil's sign
Really though if anything people associating it in this way makes it mean that.
Symbols and meanings be whack yo
Just look at that certain Nazi symbol that made a Buddhist one look bad ;)
@@finaudawai572 It's mostly been Media's fault that has turned it into a "satanic" symbol. Movies, tv, etc have been a big part in corrupting a lot of things for quite a long time. Specially when combined an increasing lack of understanding in such things as we've modernized and rejected supersitions on various levels.

Other lesson don't tell lies.
The more I think about it, the more brilliant the script becomes. The Children are NOT allowed to help each other as Hayley says. The Ghost Children are not only disobeying a direct order from their father but have lingered on this Earth to do so. It is entirely possible that the ritual the nuns performed traps the spirits of the children. However we never see them directly attack the nuns. Their main focus was saving Eli. One explanation is that the injunctive to help still binds them to some degree. Thus their antics are in theory a haunting, in practice a means by which they can deliver enough clues to save their erstwhile siblings.
The fact that they know the code to open the office implies that at least one of them got that far. They knew the truth of the treatment and who the staff were. How many children died because their parents betrayed them? Even through all that rage and grief, they were still trying to do something positive rather than wreaking havoc among their killers. A simple explanation for that is that they could not do so; their ability to manifest and affect the physical world is contingent on the powers of one of the Children being in their midst not unlike the spirits in the Shining. Until Eli arrived, they were impotently awaiting their chance to make sure what happened to them does not happen to another.

I think it would have been easier if once the kid started having nightmares at that medical facility that his parents had just told him "Eli look, the truth is that you have been possessed by the devil and that's why your skin burns with air, we are going to exorcise it out of you so you can live happy ever after", I am sure he would have been more than willing to cooperate with the treatment under that premise.
Honesty he wasn't really evil he "became" evil because idk the fckin adults wouldn't stop lying and trying to kill him like their everything that is good
I mean if it were me I'd raise my demon baby to be a fckin super hero I mean seriously he got demon power and shyt. "Use the demon to kill the other demons"
Like Dante from Devil May Cry
I agree because he is also stronger than the others so he could take on all of them
Ruka Nogi kinda like brightburn
I think it's because their parents were super religious, though. They do say Religion is a cult, right? And cults are "brainwashed" (I think Eli said that in the movie too). I mean, she became hard core religious ... I don't think she was looking to use his powers for good -- I think she became manipulated from step dad to "cure" him.
Wasn't until the end of the movie where her "brainwash" is gone and she accepted what she did and who Eli is, you know?
Why do satire comments like this become an arguement? Like seriously, I don't give a shite about religious propaganda.
If I were one of ghost, I would've just said hi and talked to him in a really pissed off manner on explain how I got brutally murdered.
I would like to see a movie that has a ghost that’s a super nice dude but the people are stereotypical movie people
lightning boi lol same
@@keyanstoney1742 Casper the friendly ghost
@@keyanstoney1742 casper
@@keyanstoney1742 casper the friendly ghost is the only movie like that and im like how?
Telling a child that there adopted is alot less awkward then telling them they are the offspring of satan
I also love how Eli’s name when rearranged can spell lie..a huge plot point in the movie. Just think that’s a really cool little thing the movie makers threw in there
Great movie 💕
The way this movie just drifted into a horror film like nothing was soooo uncomfortable.
Ikr!
They way he says “I know” as a response to his mom saying I love you was also nothing? Remember, line what Paul said to him
@@danikennedy6965 It felt more like a "Wonder" movie, you know, a feel good movie. The way he says "I know" to his mom made me think "Later in the movie he's going to appreciate his mom and say I love you back or something." which *ding ding* never happened because oooo scary hallooweeeen. I didn't like this movie and I won't be watching it a second time.
spaghettibolognese I can’t tell if I love it or hate it tbh
I feel like this could be tied to Brightburn.
Not possible
Me too
Yeah it could
@@EpicNev not at all Eli is the devil's son, Brightburn is an alien, no connection
I can see it too bruh ,like a demon space being from event horizon type of deal
I like how they build up the twist in this film. Infact they actually foreshadow the twist early in the movie and the way they do it is a little more subtle like you blink and you miss it. The scene of course I'm talking about is when Eli is spotted by those guys hanging outside a trailer across from the motel; if you noticed the dog was barking now one might think the dog is just being a dog and barking at strangers however animals can sense and see things humans can't. Of course I could be wrong.
so, was he ever evil in the movie? because, last i check, the only ones doing evil things were the nuns and his "father". in a way, they did more to make him into a devil child than he himself wanted to.
which is kinda how it goes, by forcing hardcore religious belives down someone's throat, you not only push them away, but also makes them really against it.
It's funny how there are people taking this comment seriously.
@@eelio8469 well what can i say? people do agree that evil isnt just a name, you cant say "he is the devil" and use it as an excuse to do what you are fighting against...
The nuns and dad were way creepier and scarier I would hang out with him the child of Satan instead
@Troll uNeed ?
@@marcosdheleno I mean they were trying to prevent that side of Eli from affecting him. Think more like an "Excorcism of Emily Rose" mixed with "Devils Advocate" and "The Omen". It's that they didn't explain the truth to Eli. Then again one can't blame them because it would probably set him off just like they were trying to prevent. Ultimately, the Nuns were only doing their job.
Up until the end part with the twist I found the movie enjoyable don't get me wrong the twist wasn't the worst twist I've seen in a movie nor was it bad but it was just so out there it kinda killed the movie for me and I felt I was suddenly watching something different
RYAN TURNBULL I felt that shift just in this analysis. Like he started off analyzing one movie and somewhere in there started analyzing another one lol
Yeah I agree. Didn't hate it either but like you both said it basically did shift into an entirely different movie
Thats the point. Basically everything that you know of the movie is a "lie" which is rearranged to "Eli"
genae s thats true, they hit the mark they were aiming for
That’s because you were lied to... you thought you were watching this kind of movie but it turns out to be another kind LOL
i watched this last night and was like i hope foundflix does this and i see this. i love you
Why in the world is your profile pic doug walker lol?
I’ve watched about 20 of these episodes. You are an extremely polished narrator!
Thanks for this video. I really didn't feel like watching the movie and you just saved me a lot of time. Great synopsis!
When Eli burned those nurses to fire, I thought that God was helping him 😂
ツTiffany right 😂😂
💀
Satan does more for the christian church than god ever did 🤣😂
Well according to the bible God did kill a a LOT of people so I wouldn't be surprised 😂
Thought it was the ghosts
Not to mention that the name “Eli” is re-arrangeable into “lie”. Further stressing the importance of lies in the film.
Good vid.
Miles Cohen same with 317 was just lie upside down and backwards.
Yea I agree with you, it’s main theme is about lies & truths
Miles Cohen he literally already talked about that in the video saying that Eli is an anagram for “liE
SwayDragon has left the party my bad, I was baked as fuck when I was watching this.
It has been mentioned in the film though
I think it's evident that Eli's mother had actual sex with the devil to get impregnated, because in one of her discussions with Paul, he ends up their first argument with him throwing it in her face that he was always "faithful" in a snide manner, so it is tacitly implied that she cheated on Paul to get pregnant. Also, Haley apparently knows the Devil's physical location that can be reached by merely driving to the place, so the Devil isn't just an abstract entity, confirming that he has an anthropomorphic form for the... deeds of the flesh. *shy*
Haven’t seen the movie, but this review is giving me “Brightburn” vibes
It really does. I felt the same way
Eli's bad, it's bad its really bad
Ikr it gives me those type of vibes
Ok boomer
@@toocoldtobother7271 bright burn is bad this is good tho
From the very beginning i had a feeling Eli's "dad" wasn't really his dad. So glad you covered this!
From the beginning, there were ZERO hints to that. So that was more so you just guessing at the movie.
When you realize that Satan is a better dad then yours 😢
He let dozens of his children die- is everything ok at home?
True he the real mvp
There is one reason why Satan hasn't let his son the Antichrist roam the Earth and that reason is because he made a terrible monster. Those monsters are the ones who like to prey on young children
@@mannyegarica12 pedophiles?
@dou jin not exactly A+ father material in my book but valid point.
Love this film, great breakdown as always thank you
Sometimes you just gotta bully some children with your bros in a motel parking lot in the middle of the day
And since the mom is named Rose, she’s probably a reference to Rosemary’s Baby
I'm surprised the kid's name wasn't Damien? :P
"Even driving the kids to go meet SATAN"
That got me. Lol.
You're pretty cheeky! Thanks for the reviews, makes my day go by quick.
I do love that even though Rose is scared of her son, she still loves him.
Also Thorn leaving Eli to finally turn by leaving him in the basement was her downfall. Once he finally got his powers from breathing fresh air it was too late.
Wonder if that was because he finally had access to the "evil" of the world without any barrier, i.e. he got a boost of power without any obstacle?
Marinus van Zyl I figured she left him down there because he was surrounded by a bunch of holy objects (crosses, etc), which would have stopped his powers from manifesting before she could finish the exorcism.
This movie ended up WAY SCARIER than I imagined it would be.
Lol right?
Wow, you guys are lightweights. Good horror would make you shit your pants in fear.
Same
The ending ruined it for me since it was so confusing. When I watched an explanation I got it but it shouldn't like that. I shouldn't need to watch it a million times to understand it
@@AlexHernandez55743 How was it confusing when they explained it all after the big twist?
I feel like his name is also a call to his mothers lost Christianity because Eli is a shortened version of the name Elijah which has biblical origins
thank you! you explain very well.
“Driving them to go see Satan!”
Driving the kiddos to go see her baby daddy. She must be a millennial.xP
It might require a tree and a fast moving vehicle.
🎶 we're on the hiiiiiiiiighway to hell!!! 🎶
PLEASE EXPLAIN "wounds" 2019 Netflix original - psychological thriller very tense and vague , loved the film but didn't understand it
My take is its related to cthulu mythos
That’s from Hulu...
@@practicalgamer4991 its on Netflix too bruv.
The ending fucked me up!!
You’re not supposed to understand psychological thrillers
I love these child empowering titles. He's so young, and without thought, he perfectly exact his revenge against all who wronged him.
but he doesn't Have to be evil-
just because he is satan spawn doesn't technically mean he has to be evil. he just has dark powers inside him that he can use for good.
FallyYT Gaming true
lucifer
His parents could have never told him the truth and let him live a normal life (and maybe teach him how to cope with anger). He only learned who his father is because they tried to kill him.
Also if the rest of the kids were weaker than him why hadn't the procedure worked on them?
@@szymon5438 The procedure wasn't supposed to help anyone. It was supposed to kill them. The doctor lied.
No one really knows if satan is evil anyway
Her name is rose? Are you kidding me like rosemary’s baby?
It's an homage. Don't see the problem
Ultra gamers like you call that an easter egg.
The fact 200 people liked this comment proves that low iq is the new norm

The sequel should be called ELII
Eli 1??? You drunk bruh?
You mean Elie right?
Lol, if video stores were still around, it'd go straight to the B movie section. One of THOSE movies.
Or it should be called (Lie 2 me)
I love this channel very much
Forgot about this gem...such a great shift from the opening scenes with bubble boy Eli contrasted with the act three sets. Would love for any recs for similar movies.
Horn's purple outfit looks almost exactly like what a nun wears down to the wimple.
That had to be intentional.
I'm on Eli's side. Who's to say he would have turned evil if they dud put him through this.
Exactly. It's the nature versus nurture argument again for sure.
Ladylocs Asia , ya. I am agreeing
It's a simple case of brigthburn syndrome
Wait, is Eli evil now? He legit only killed the bunch of people who were trying to kill him. He didn't go on a rampage or anything.
@@kaiz1845 Of course he's evil he killed people and he is the devil's son.
They NEED to make a sequel to this, like where Eli goes to satan and he helps him master his powers, or a prequel where they show what happened to the other kids during there stay or how Haley found satan
I NEED a show abt These 2 siblings it would be sooo cool lolol
Actually crispr the process of genome editing works like how they describe the treatment
I feel fine getting here within the first 5 minutes to be honest
The nun picture looks like they took someone else's picture and then used the snapchat clip feature to put other people's faces on them.
I wonder if Eli would have been good if they raised him to be. I don't remember them saying he was a bad or evil child. Like how Hellboy was raised to be good. It said he had to find his own path and all the kids couldn't have been the same.
ELI
If u say the alphabet backwards the letter L is first followed by I and last E which spells
LIE... so technically
E.L.I.= L.I.E. Lol
E-LI E Lie
