- Late Night With The Devil is an extremely fascinating horror film, and it one of my favourites in recent memory. Today, I attempt a narrated video essay where I break the film down!
All my ratings are based on a 'thumbs up/thumbs down' list. Here they are below.
Thumbs down:
1: F*****g Terrible (Really bad)
2: Snoozefest (Dull, uninteresting, unmemorable)
Thumbs half up/down:
3: Know who you are (It may only appeal to a small portion of the audience)
4: With a little help from some 'friends' (Either watch with some friends.... or watch drunk)
Thumbs Up:
5: Worth a watch (Check it out on streaming)
6: Buy it (Watch in the cinema, or purchase the physical release)
7: Top Notch (As good as it gets)

Love how the one skeptic on the shows panel was a parody of The Amazing Randy
Yes! Went on a massive James Randy binge after my third viewing of this film. I’m disappointed that I didn’t mention it in my video, because Carmichael Haig is absolutely based off of him.
I bought a James Randi book he wrote some time back about Houdini. Gonna have to have another go…
I see it as a parody of the average Reddit atheist. I say this as someone who is agnostic. lol
James randy is also gay
@mash2481 I’ve decided to pin this comment if you don’t mind, because the most liked comment on this video has a spoiler in it, just in case anyone clicks on this video and hasn’t seen the film. I’ve gotten a couple of comments saying this.
I really liked it, especially the end part where the demon is let loose. Her head splitting open to reveal, something cool, is what I would think a fallen angel might look like.
It’s bonkers! Such a spectacular image!
Damn really wish a spoiler wasn't the top comment
@@KingZedusPrime2009TyrentKaiju yeah sorry about that, but with a spoiler filled video, I’d like everyone to be able to discuss the film in detail in the comments.
YT needs to stop showing top comments in that little window
Cgi. Super realistic demon
I love to see David Dastmalchian in a starring horror role like this. He's been such an underrated actor for decades and he deserves the spotlight. Always a memorable performance from him.
TH-cam recommended this video out of the blue. Your first few sentences encouraged me to pause and go find it. David Dastmalchian being the star sealed the deal, I had to see it.
Now I'm back and really enjoyed your video essay on it. The only thing I don't think you touched on was Lilly saying she knows Jack from the tall trees (the Grove). There were hints earlier that the Abraxus cult were charged with kidnappings. I did wonder if Lilly was part of the Grove's creepy gatherings, facilitated by the cult's human trafficking services, and that her inner demon remembers what she's blocked out. Those are the dark places my mind went anyway. It might have just been the demon saying he knows Jack was at the Grove gatherings. You watched 3 times? Does Lilly in her human form also mention Jack in the tall trees?
Awesome that you watched the film and came back to this, glad you enjoyed hearing my perspective on it.
From my interpretation, Lilly herself never said anything about Jack at the ‘tall trees’, that was all the demon that was inside of her (Abraxas). Lilly says some creepy things (‘you’re going to be very famous after tonight Jack’), but I don’t believe that Lilly mentioned the Grove herself.
Interesting ideas though, that does certainly give food for thought! Such an interesting film and the kidnapping stuff went straight over my head. Maybe a fourth watch will bring new things into light!
I loved how it switched from "found footage" to " movie footage" in between breaks. Im assuming these black and white sections are not part of the docu as the video quality is way too modern for that. Love how it shows the neglect of the guests and the situation they gradually put themselves in as they progress the show.
Even my gf loved this movie despite the fact that the generally only likes the more gory horror movies.
Really well done movie and I can't wait to see what these guys do next
I personally believe they didn’t have the budget to create ads in the breaks so they decided to say they found unseen behind the scenes footage. It stretches a bit of credibility maybe, but it doesn’t bother me one bit.
Glad you and your gf liked it!
Came back a week later, had to watch the movie first. Great video covering this film, glad it popped up on my feed. Fantastic movie too! David Dastmalchian is becoming one of my favorite actors and this is another excellent performance from him.
So glad you took my advice and watched the film first, and thanks for coming back too! I’m really glad you enjoyed both the film and the video. Dastmalchian is excellent, from smaller roles in Oppenheimer and The Boogeyman to larger roles like this, it’s great to see him excel.
everyone in the comments is saying that it wasn’t really horror but i was already shaking in my boots the first minute 😭 i just can’t watch these kind of movies..such a scaredy cat 🫠
I'm a massive horror fan, and I don't know what everyone else was smoking. This movie freaked me the fuck out too haha.
I think you could have also talked about how woman seem to play a part in this movie; its a MENS only club, he killed his wife, the person he exploits in the show is a young girl! my personal take on this is that the movie is probably pointing out the fact that powerful men exploit woman and girls frequently and why that is.
That is 100% true. I hadn’t even thought of that. This is such a great film that there is so much to read into!
@@GetFramed I completely agree!
Or it's just a movie
Reaching.
@@Ronam0451 maybe? What do you mean exactly by ‘it’s just a movie?’
This was an amazing breakdown and for it being your first amazing job! I’ll definitely be watching more!
Thanks so much! I’m so happy to hear that it worked well! I’m not sure when I’ll do my next video essay like this because it took a lot of work to do but I’ll definitely try to do some more this year!
I normally don't just subscribe to a channel unless I've watched multiple videos and have plans to watch more...but you did such a great job here I'm absolutely subscribing!!! Well done
Thanks so much! These video essays won’t be nearly as frequent because of how long they take to make but I will definitely do more alongside my normal reviews.
Great video keep it up man! I'm definitely going to see this movie tonight, thanks to you.
Awesome! So glad to hear it!
THANKS FOR CALLING OUT DR. PHIL
ever seen the guy that dressed up as dr phil and got kicked off the show? great clip
I watched this movie and it literally left me creeped out for days. Definitely one of the best horror movies in awhile
Lmao are you actually a 5 year old or autistic by any chance?
Like others in this comment section, TH-cam randomly recommended me this video essay and i had to pause it and go see the film before continuing this vid.
Well I'm back and I am glad that i got to watch this one stille in theaters. Most interesting and fun to watch horror film I have seen since hereditary.
Thanks YT gods for the random recommendation
First, I enjoyed your video. If this video is your first time at this format, I would say your future is good.
And I’d say your interpretation is not one I’d previously thought of, for a reason that I’ll get into in a moment, but it’s a good one, and I’ll have to see the movie again after I’ve given it a good pause.
Spoilers, naturally, will follow.
What bothered and distracted me-even though I really enjoyed the movie-about _Late Night With The Devil_ is that it seemingly broke its rule: what we are about to see is the footage interlaced with backstage documentary of the episode. And why wouldn’t Jack Delroy want behind-the-scenes footage of what would likely be his most infamous episode? He seems like that kind of guy.
But we get a set piece that seemingly breaks the footage rule.
Go ahead and laugh, but I stayed awake for two hours trying to come up with the solution. Then one hit me, and it made the film that much creepier.
At one point in the movie, a character is hypnotized with a lot of fanfare, and we see the entire hypnotism set-up before we are treated to a scene with worms, nasty and monstrous, wriggle out of the body of the primary subject in a gross horrifying way.
(Tangent: the demon is called “Mr. Wriggles,” by Lilly, and there seems to be a fair amount of phallic imagery, like really big worms, throughout the movie-more details pointing to Jack’s use and abuse of women?)
After the tape is rewound to where the subject believes he’s pulling worms from his body and worms start bursting out, we see no worms, just a guy acting like he’s being attacked from the inside by wriggling creeps. It turns out our magician/hypnotist has hypnotized nearly _everyone_ watching. Why we don’t see worms on replay is that we didn’t see the magician’s prep work, or build up, into his act of mass hypnotism.
Later, Abraxas manifests itself in the body of the girl. Lots of really bad things happen.
But the weirdest and I think, most frightening thing is that we, the viewers, were _hypnotized a second time._
This accounts for the breaking of the footage rule. I think we cease to see view footage (until the end) just before Jack believes he forces his way backstage. I imagine we were hypnotized by Abraxas, but I also wonder if it wasn’t Jack’s psychic scream as he sees the Hell that awaits him. Maybe it’s both. I don’t think it’s ever clear.
And having squared that circle in my mind, I feel a bit more satisfied, but I’ll watch the movie again as I think your ritual completion angle has a lot of merit.
Damn I never thought of the audience being hypnotised, that’s really clever! That’s an excellent insight, thanks heaps for sharing! Glad you enjoyed both the video and the movie too.
Yoo the video was super good. Congrats
David Dastmalchian was born for this role. This is what I’d consider a career defining performance. However, I was incredibly confused on their choice of "demonic entity". If they'd done a little research they'd have found that Ipos wouldve made much more sense than Abraxas.
Well done video! I had never heard of this show... thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you very much!!!
Just to clarify in case there might be any misunderstanding, Night Owls isn’t a real show, it’s just a fictional show from this film that fictionally competed with Johnny Carson.
The term "video essay" popped into my head about halfway through, can't believe this is your first attempt at one!
@@arenomusic thank you! I’m so glad this turned out so well, because it is quite a daunting task, but I had a lot of fun! I’ll be sure to try and do a couple more of these by the end of the year.
Well done! I enjoyed this analysis. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
this is such a good video dude! I'm definitely going to watch the film now
Thank you! Glad to hear I’ve turned a few people into the film!
I just watched this. There was just so much stellar work at every level. It's a true delight.
the black and white scenes are to mimic 35mm cameras used back stage i think, considering in the opening of the film they say it was bts
@@joshisaliv3591 absolutely right. The reason I mentioned it ‘breaking its own illusion’ was just because it was a criticism that some people seemed to have of the film. Some people said it was breaking the found footage style, making the film less effective as a whole. I completely disagree with that take and agree with yours.
I stumbled upon tthis video snd immediately stopped to go and watch the movie, I thank you for that. This movie truly shows that the creators did their homework to a T.
Thanks for the great breakdown of this film. What a unique and thoughtful approach they took with this film.
Absolutely, they really did a wonderful job at creating something so unique.
Well done. Subscribed.
Excellent video essay!
Excellent content. This channel is going places! Kudos
Thank you so much!
My favorite scene is when skeptic sees a devil and then immediately pledges his alliance xD
@@iphatbass ‘ABRACADABRA!’
If you like this, may I suggest an obscure old BBC Halloween special called "Ghostwatch". It is set in the UK in nearly the same era as this movie and is framed as real paranormal investigation show that goes horribly wrong. It even used real BBC snews commentators and presenters for versimilitude and was so effective it created a War of the Worlds style panic across the country as people thought it was real. Due to the legal fallout of the resulting panic, the show never got a proper release but if you hunt around on-line, you should be able to find it.
P.S. if you watch it, always look in the background.
@@ravendelacour1917 that’s the Michael Parkinson one right? I’ve heard great things about it, thanks for the recommendation!
@@GetFramed That's the one. Hope you enjoy it!
Nice video, never heard anything about the movie but definitely gonna give it a watch.
Hope you enjoy it!
Felt like I was on acid the whole time watching this movie
Amazing work
Thank you!
“Oh my gosh, Politicians are just actors and capitalist corporations and consumer brands rule everything, I hate modern day America so much!!!😩😩😩”
America in the 1970’s:
Thanks so much for the movie recommendation (I paused to watch it before finishing the video) and the amazing review/interpretation!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and my vid!
Great work. I agree.
Really entertaining movie worth a watch, i wish they changed a few details and ways they filmed some of the behind the scenes shots but still a fun movie
This was such a well-done video. It's given me something new to watch too as I'm always on the lookout for great films
Keep up the good work my guy :)
Thank you so much! I love seeing these comments, let me know what you think of the film too!
Amazing video make many more please
Thanks! These video essays won’t be coming out nearly as frequently as my other movie reviews just because it takes so much time to do. But keep an eye out!
Enjoyed your essay, and I really enjoyed this film. One I'll enjoy repeat viewings of for many years to come, i think.
I knew he was being shown a super dark version of his show at the end, but it never occurred to me that it was Abraxis giving him a quick taste of what Hell would be like after he dies. It's an interesting theory and it makes a lot of sense. But it was pretty clear his soul was damned. I had mostly thought of it as an elaborate trick to get him to sacrifice the girl who got away from fulfilling her role in the cult. I thought that maybe even the intention was to have Jack sacrifice Lily in the end all along because even after his wife died he never got those ratings. So they use that first "sacrifice" as part of the plan to trick him into doing the second one. Crazy devious.
Oh btw, I'd call this a mixed medium film. Definitely not pure found footage, which, apparently i like better than you. I thought a couple of the Paranormal Activity sequels were pretty good. 😂
Interesting, I don’t think I mentioned it in my video but I do think that this specific night, he got higher ratings than Carson. But your theory makes a lot of sense too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GetFramed right, he did after the SECOND sacrifice. What I was saying was that after his wife died and he came back, he never did get the ratings until that fateful night. Maybe I didn't word it all that well. I should be sleeping.
@@a_Cynthia_Main ahh I see what you mean, that’s definitely right.
Fun flick, but
not horror imo, not tense or scary at slightest.
But really enjoyed it.
Sometime reality is stranger than fiction.
Its honestly one of my favorite horror films of all time, the "lost media" aspect of it is something im really into, and the movie itself is legit just great, too bad they lost the plot at the end, but other than that its amazing.
You spoke very well. Easy to listen to.
Thanks very much! Good to hear that I’m not rambling or stuttering too much.
I wish it messed with my head more. Would have been better as a Twilight Zone short imo.
It made me think of an episode of Black Mirror called 'Game Over.'. Gimmick aside, that episode messed with me a lot.
One of the best horror films in years.
Love this video, gave me 2 more hands.
So good I already watched it twice
Awesome!
Did … did Jack make a deal with Stolas?
Sorry I didn’t get that reference. Had to look it up haha
This movie is so well paced it’s crazy
@@rosebudsavesacat it’s brilliant, I actually found myself being invested in the talk show itself! It was so fun to watch!
I really liked 2/3rds of the movie untill it decided to go for a possession storyline, the last sequence really nailed the cursed footage vibe, but i kind of wish we had gotten more of that in the final third of the film instead of the played out posession, a story.
This movie owned
Not to call anyone in the comments out, but how can you talk about suspension of disbelief for a horror movie? Thats like saying fast and the furious had an amazing plot that carried over many movies.
You dont watch horror for suspension of D. Just a weird comment.
Yeah I agree. Sometimes films go too far and it can ruin the immersion but for most horror films I just suspend my disbelief as soon as I start it. I'm looking to have a good time not nitpick every little detail haha.
Found footage you need to watch if that's your opinion of found footage: Lake Mungo, Hell House LLC, As Above So Below, Deadstream... Can anyone else think of good suggestions? I feel like the genre is easily dismissed but there's some real gems. Also, the constraints tend to produce really original ideas
The only one of these I’ve seen is As Above So Below and it’s one of my favourite found footages! I have a review on it actually so do check that out!
I also love Cloverfield, but I’ll put those other ones on my radar!
Horror in the high desert is pretty good. The first one sets up a mystery, the payoff is kinda weak tho. The 2nd movie adds to it a bit but mostly shows that what happened in the first movie, happened many times more. And there's a 3rd one coming, promising the actual payoff to the mystery. And ngl, these movies were good enough as a build up for a potential great experience for the last movie.
Rec is also really good if you enjoy a more chaotic movie.
Dashcam, but as a warning i have to tell you how annoying the main character is. But the things that happen and the actual horror going on is pretty cool. The main character just drags everything down, as she can't shut her mouth and is the typical COVID denying twat that harasses people on stream for money. Even during the cool horror moments she doesn't shut up.
And speaking about hell house. The Carmichael manor is probably my favourite of all these movies. Its far better then any other hell house movie imo.
And now one movie i wanna steer everyone away from even tho there's some people who like it for some reason. The outwaters. It has some interesting ideas, but the characters are all a bunch of dumb pretentious twats. 70% of the movie takes place in complete darkness, with a main character/camera man who's holding a wide range flashlight, a high quality one. Even showing off he can basically light everything off. Only to proceed and only use the long range mode on it. Meaning you can only see glimpses of what's going on.
The ending is bonkers tho and I didn't see it coming at all. But it's not worth 90 minutes of your life only to get a glimpse of a potentially good concept and an ending where some unlikable twat cuts his own dick off for some reason.
Host is very good. Also on Shudder!
@@alexperry4691 I have seen that. Very well done and creative but not really my cup of tea.
To be fair, Lake Mungo is less Found Footage and more Fictional
Documentary. Still an absolutely phenomenal and haunting film. That ending stayed with me for months, just thinking about the tragic implications and imagining how absolutely horrible going through that would be. While not necessarily a typical horror movie, it is absolutely terrifying and filled me with dread in ways that slashers or monsters never have.
nice
Paused at 1:42 to go watch the movie
Ok so I just finished watching it and it was a great flight until it was time to land this thing. When he realized that it was the girl instead of his wife, suggesting it was all in his head, imagine if everyone who was thought to have died, was really alive and staring at him in the end like, "wtf did u do that for dude, everything was going great."
Glad you mostly enjoyed it, but I don’t think it was all in his head at all. As I said in the video, the end when he stabs the girl was the devil tricking him into completing Abraxas’ ritual. It all happened. Maybe a second watch will help it come together a bit more for you?
@@GetFramed well the wife thing was all in his head. So I was saying it would've been cooler if the death of everybody else in the studio was all in his head, instead of it being real. The only one that should've truly died was the girl, and by the hands of the host. They were the two who most wanted the show to go on for fame.
@@The_Com-Mentor that is an interesting idea I suppose. But do you mean the end where he stabs his wife was in his head? Because it kind of was, but those visions were all being placed there by the devil. It’s not him just imagining it, at least I don’t think. Love to hear these different takes though!
7:39 is this an Exorcist reference?
Haha I actually didnt intend for that to be a reference. But I guess peoples heads being twisted was in the back of my mind because both this film and The Exorcist do it.
I love how the guy who ended his career by going after wendigoon said this movie was a “conservative” horror movie.
I thought it was good. But, not as good as other similar things I've seen.
I did enjoy the lo-fi old school look tho.
I think a deeper dive into your arguments would have been compelling but this reads like an undergrad presentation.
@@jacobgruhn4837 Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely try to improve on some aspects in the future.
Michael Ironside is in this???
Yes he narrates the opening montage.
Why were the camera men filming them during the commercials?
I did mention that, as I said, the film does break its own found footage illusion, but it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s just a way to further tell the story.
I assume if they had a higher budget, they would’ve created some 1970s-esque ads that would’ve played during the breaks instead of the behind the scenes footage.
Dastmalchian was incredible in this…but I didn’t love the movie.
Homie ill sub but you currently have 666 and I just can't in good consciousness fuck that up.
meh, I didn't care for it. PPl over hyped it for me so I thought I was going into something absolutely AMAZING.
also... suddenly EVERYONES favorite actor is david dastmalchian.
I tuck and rolled off the hype train.
@@LINKISDEAD that’s a shame, I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.
Was disappointing tbh. Just didn't commit to the concept hard enough.
There's a segment in V/H/S 85 that does it much better.
Haven't seen those films, maybe I should.
@@GetFramed You'll love them, they're hit and miss but the ones that hit are unforgettable.
Was there AI used for some of the footage?
@@lvdfilms6890 I’d rather this video not be the place for this discussion, but it was used for the skeleton image during the interstitials. They used AI as a template and then further edited it, which is what was used in the film.
All I’ll say is that I find it really bizarre how everyone was up in arms about the very brief use of AI in a small indie film, but no one seemed to care when it was revealed that Furiosa used it as well.
🎉
Just a nitpick, the mainstream religion in the US has always been Protestantism, from 1776 to now. “Challenging Catholicism” isn’t exactly groundbreaking for the 1970s, Catholicism has always been historically looked down upon in America.
Thanks for letting me know!
Nice review, but I think I would've liked this more if the acting skills were more on par. Namely: the possessed girl, the wife and the medium.
Thank you! I thought everyone was terrific, obviously Dastmalchian was the stand out but I never once thought any of the side characters dropped the ball. Anything in particular that stood out to you that you weren’t a fan of with their performances?
the movie's great but the fact they used AI art for intermission messages sucks
@@tawrelineI think that there’s a couple of things that need to be said regarding the AI art.
Firstly, the film was shot and edited in 2022, well before the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Had it been made after or during those strikes, I don’t think they would’ve experimented with it.
Secondly, the negative response that this film has gotten will probably ensure that no one else will ever use AI art again, which is a good thing.
Thirdly, the film isn’t good for that intermission message. It’s a minuscule part of the film that wasn’t done with any bad intentions, it was just being used as a resource.
Fourthly, the film had a very small production crew. Here’s a quote from Colin Cairnes, one of the directors of the film.
“Our producers also happened to be our VFX artists and graphic designers. That’s how small and tight that, you know, our little family is. I mean, this is like hard labor from a very small team with limited resources. So I don’t know. It’d be nice if people just understood some of that context”. -Colin Cairnes
Sure it probably wasn’t the best idea to use AI as a template for the interstitial, but the directors admitted to it, explained exactly how it was used and said that they won't be utilising it in future. I just hope we can now all enjoy the film for what it is, because I think after the discussion this film caused on the ethical nature of AI in film, everyone’s on the same page with the use of AI, including the filmmakers.
Long comment, sorry, but I find it to be a real shame that such a great film has been seriously hindered for some people over one mistake.
I wanted to like this but… it was just… disappointing. It didn’t lead anywhere emotionally powerful. It felt… boring. Predictable. By the numbers. Shallow.
Anyone who wants to learn more about bohemian grove should watch alex jones documentary about it. I know hes not everyone’s favorite but this is really good
He's a twat but no one can deny the fact that he has some legit good content as well. And the fact that he was actually kinda right about the whole frog thing
@@112523 hell yeah brother, jones has gotten really bad over the years but his early work was an honest attempt at uncovering some truth imo. Breaking into bohemian grove and exposing it to the public was a big thing. I learned about that from him when i was 14 and it taught me to be wary of the rich and powerful.
He wasn't right about the frogs thing. Companies are dumping horrific toxins in our waters, but gay people aren't the result. And frogs and fish having their sexual expression impacted by the chemicals is real, but again, they aren't swimming around with pride flags. Their physiological characteristics are altered, for the worse. Making it about "gay" is horrific, and tying into a culture war to suppress the "other". But, yes. he is a twat.
@@112523a lot of things. Alex Jones.
No, they shouldn't. Alex Jones is a charlatan, a clown, and a soulless monster.
Im the 666 like, I feel is appropiate.
Genuinely baffled at the positive reception of this movie. To me I cant understand how anyone experienced suspension of disbelief watching this movie. I felt like I was watching something made by university film students and local amateur theatre actors. So weird for me that I'm in the minority.
Okay real talk…am I the only one who thought this movie was just a long episode of twilight zone or something? Like it wasn’t terrible but it was predicable, the characters were one dimensional, and it was far from scary…idk it was just kinda lame..I mean I’d watch it again for fun but idk people are acting like this is a GREAT film have me very confused as to what they got from the movie that I just didn’t ?
Well that’s fine if you didn’t care too much for it, everyone has different tastes, but this video pretty much sums up what I took from it, which was a lot. I also have another video which is simply a review on the film too without discussing all the details of it if you want to hear some thoughts about what I think of the filmmaking, directing,etc.
Movie was mid as fuck ngl, interesting concept though
Heard a few people say that, and that’s ok. People have different tastes on things and if this isn’t your cup of tea then that’s fine. Did you feel like it was underdeveloped?
I love LNWTD, but the 'turmoil' of the 1970s is fiction. The 1960s was far more tumultuous. Bay of Pigs, The Cuban missile crisis, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and prior to that, Malcolm X, the secret MKULTRA program, the anti-Vietnam war movement, the Black power movement, the rise of the feminist movement (the real one), the American Indian movement, the Chicano movement, the wave of rebellions in almost every major city, the brutal repression of the Black Panther Party and anti-war protesters across the US, and the explosion of ethnic violence created the zeitgeist of the end of the world. The 70s was a decade of repression. The war on crime plus the war on drugs and conintelpro destroyed the radical movements of the 60s. There was a feeling of demoralization and defeatism. The anti-Satanic sentiment was media spin. Nobody serious fell for that bullshit. People were more up in arms about desegregation, inflation, and a lack of social services. Serial killers and cults were issues the media wanted us to focus on rather than all of the above.
I didn’t live through either decade, but I am interested to hear the perspective of someone who did! I guess a lot of the troubles of the 60s did seep into the 70s such as the Vietnam war. But the 60s probably were more tumultuous.
@@GetFramed I was born in 1967, so I grew up in the 70s and 80s. My earliest memories were of seeing the Vietnam War on TV and watching the body count of dead soldiers, along with seeing the Moon landing. I vividly remember seeing the MOVE compound attacked in 1978 and later bombed by the City of Philadelphia in 1985, and I saw the Waco massacre in '93. That's state repression, not upheaval in the streets. Regardless, your video is intriguing, and I appreciate you mentioning the Bohemian Grove. Surprisingly, few have done so.
@@yusefendure thank you!
yeah nah men this movie was not it, at all... l thought this was going to be like VHS, you know cheap but awesome effects, but it was completely the opposite and the ending even made sense at all. Stupid unnecessary story telling and drama just to fill half the movie its a big red flag not to mention all the plot holes
I just liked it for all the silly fun and cool effects. The story isn’t great, and it leaves many plot holes, like you said, but you can understand what is going on more or less, and I still enjoyed it. However, I very much see why many don’t like it.
Please elaborate on the plot holes
@@emiliob12 watched the movie like 2 weeks ago and l may have watched maybe 10 other movies since. Though l recall the ending most than anything as the major plot hole in the whole movie. lts like if they had 2 different endings cut in to one in post production like seriously. Dont know if you know anything about film making though but sometimes they write many endings and decide which to go with at the last stage of filming when the money starts to run dry and this can make for some weird stuff
Hey bro, you know that the exorcist is basically pro catholic propaganda? It didn't challenge the church it made people more religious, and that was the intended purpose. Religious people and institutions didn't of the movie but only because of the vulgarity.
Calling it pro-catholic propaganda is oversimplifying it. It supports Christianity and the idea that if evil exists, the good must exist too. But it definitely is challenging the church in the idea that evil will always live on. Father Karras’s faith prevails over evil, the Power of Christ did not. And the vulgarity is definitely challenging, because that’s the entire point of the film. To retain your faith even when life throws horror at you.
The real horror for Karras is his mother dying and the feeling of disconnect between him and his God, but the film visualises those horrors with Pazuzu distorting Regan’s face and voice.
he is not 'using' the girl
she agreed on doing that
and dont act as if a 13 year old girl is mentally like a five year old
He is using her for attention though. Even if she agreed, he is still using her story as a way to boost ratings. Also, 13 year olds can be very stupid, trust me I know.
weird take
both are equally minors
the implications of the original comment are not particularly flattering
It was meh for me
Movie was mid nothing special
THIS MOVIE WAS UTTER TRASH
