*Scene fades to black and then a 2fort gameplay starts playing with a voice over* "That was a recreation of a competitive clip that shows How it FEELS to play Medic"
Love when Medic got revenge on people who've killed him, he actually does more. Listening to scout "If they hit you with som'in hit 'em back twice as hard." When medic is killed by one of the Conaghers, He was hit 5 times. But when revived and killing him, he gets 6 blows in. As well for spy, he was shot once in Russian roulette, and in the funeral Medic shoots Spy twice.
i love how despite the fact that the mercs are portrayed as very well past their prime, soldier still sees a rocket launcher and has a caveman instinct to perform a rocket jump
I've always headcanon'd that the BLU team is composed of serious and hard-working men in contrast with the living meme goofballs that form the RED team, and on top of that, they're literally cloned from the RED team then brainwashed and trained.
You know, when people say “some TF2 animators could make feature length films if they wanted” I don’t think anyone expected someone to actually try for it. I’m already looking forward to this.
I swear, we need to round up a bunch of animators like these to make an original feature film, and put it in for the big screen. Imagine Disney and Pixar getting their asses handed to them by a movie made by some GMOD animators.
The possibilities of what the SFM animators can create with one another are endless! One of the best SFM films out there. Aside from the Pootis Engage films.
I waited far too long to actually sit down and watch this. I didn't know SFM could be used to make a high quality feature film, and a spooky one at that! Everything is so tastefully done. The animation is stylish but respects the source material. The characters line up with the original mercs really well. Nothing is ever gratuitous, and none of the humour that is sprinkled in undercuts the horror.
Not crying. Hes laughing. When your body is overwhelmed by stress or fear your mind starts to try to calm you down by making you laugh. Has hapened to me few times during panic attacks.
In Russia, if hand is rotten, you cut off hand. If arm is rotten, you cut off arm. But if heart is rotten... you cut off leg. This is Russian love song.
I got here tonight to watch this masterpiece again on Halloween night and my birthday. And it's as amazing as a year ago Happy Halloween to everyone who is watching tonight!
The 2fort respawn machine being broken and producing deformed mercs actually does a great job at explaing why T-posing scouts are such a common sight on the map.
44:09 You can hear German stuka dive bombers as the sound of the mutated scout which indicates that Emesis blue soldier did serve in the Second World War as opposed to his TF2 version who hasn’t seen the horrors of war, glorifies war and shows off his non existent service in ww2.
Correction, although not officially serving in any US military branch, TF2 soldier did fight in ww2. He just did it by himself. Not disagreeing though, TF2 soldier does glorify war. He's just a psychopath like the rest of his colleagues.
@@jeremiahtomcanin487 that in itself is _also_ wrong. Soldier never fought in WW2. He just went to Germany and started slaughtering innocents indiscriminately... which happened *after* WW2 was over.
Emesis Blue was made in Source Filmmaker. The most insane and inconsistent animation software known to man. I can barely place a character, move the limbs of the model, and have it on a flat surface. This man deserves monetary compensation far beyond whatever this video makes him. You sir, deserve a saxxy award.
got to agree, this deserves accolades ... hell the entire production team deserves accolades. This was a masterpiece of suspense and horror... 9.5/10 its almost perfect.
Can we talk about Spy for a second? When Spy says "Who is there to save ME, Jules?" He overlooks Soldier. Soldier not only saved him once, during the confrotation with Heavy, but twice, when he tackled Spy to cover. He overlooks the fact it was his own fault, not Soldiers, that the Car blew up. He overlooks that Soldier just couldn't save him, not that he didn't try. When he flicks the cigeratte at Pyro, he never crossed his mind that he would've gotten burnt. He never realized that almost everything bad that happened to him was his own fault, and you could argue that his murder was technically his own fault too, since his insane depravity lead to Medic murdering him. He's a massive fucking hypocrite.
yeah, the canon Spy would consider this dude a fucking hack amateur and "disgrace to spies everywhere" (that's the voice line when a Spy dominates an enemy spy ingame.) His acting sucks (getting caught out as a fake at the crime scene), he didn't matador backstab the Heavy at the beginning of the movie despite having a clear opportunity to, he barely even shoots anyone with his revolver, and just is a fuckup in general.
Let's say, hypothetically, I am a barbie girl. Okay let's even say I'm in a barbie world. Right so, in this scenario, I would obviously know from personal experience that life in plastic is fantastic. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume you could brush my hair and undress me literally everywhere? Imagination; you can derive from the fundamentals of basic logic that life is your creation.
You can tell from 1:22:42 that 4/6 spots in the revolver are empty. the top 3 are empty, and the middle on the bottom is also empty. Meaning, Spy never was in danger, and it was ultimately a 50/50 for Soldier and Medic
I don't think anyone would have guessed a horror-thriller would be the first notable, high-quality, TRUE feature-length SFM animation, that was also still grounded it in the TF2 world (albeit with more grittiness/seriousness and the use of popular headcanons). Personally, I'm a sucker for any exploration into a respawn machine existing and explaining why there are just 9 mercenaries, especially when it explores just how potentially terrifying the concept can be. I genuinely enjoyed watching this abstract piece of art. Kudos to all those who worked on it! You guys put out a GREAT piece of artwork!
Ik it's a strange request but I hope you (or other viewers/influencers) can share this film around. It honestly deserves way more views than its getting right now considering the amount of effort that went into it.
I think I can (somewhat) provide translations for Pyro here: 37:40 “Don’t move.” 37:49 “Stay right there.” 37:55 “Drop it.” 38:00 “Turn to face me.” 38:08 “Now get down.” 38:18 “Wait right here.” 38:34 (Laughter) 1:06:30 “Where is he?”
I actually saw someone theorize that this is the red spy! And if that's true, it means there is no pyro in this film. Pretty eerie to leave them out :) Not trying to tell you that you're wrong or whatever, I just think it would be cool as fuck.
@@Puro218 A key plot point of this movie is that the respawn machine slowly strips away the humanity of the people using it, and considering Pyro is hardly all there in regular TF2 lore, I'd say it's pretty safe to say that he's not human at all here, just some sort of respawn machine abomination that thinks it's Pyro
@Red-pq4xx I think like it could be the "10th class" (if he isn't already the Undertaker) as in one of the photos and hallucinations later in the video, he's on fire as he comes out of the respawn machine, which explains the peak under the mask.
@@jeffcarroll1990shock "Oh no! I very much dislike their opinion! Let me cry about it on the internet and call the film a rip-off to make myself feel better!"
There is literally a comment that states that Solider used to talk alot before, but after Conagher's Slaughterhouse he didn't talk alot. Proving his trauma.
I like how Soldier is still dumb. Usually in SFM animations he's either normal, just as comically stupid as he is in-game, or a stand-in for some meme thing. It's nice to see that you kept that character trait without making it overbearing.
what the fuck happened, did the doc just hallucinate everything this whole time or did this shit actually happen but was replaying through doc's head because of those pills????
The tunnel soldier was in I believe the roaring was from the mutant scout he stabbed in the head with the crowbar because of how the lights in the tunnel went out like when he encountered him on the stairs.
I like how scout says "If they ever hit ya with som'in you hit back twice as hard you hear me?" Then at the end doc comes back to life and shoots spy twice
Also at the start the mother was beheaded and held up from the other side of the door what did Ludwig do? Halfway into the movie he held one of the henchmen heads from the other side AND HE USED A HACK SAW LIKE THE MOTHER DOIED!
what's even more serendipitous about that, is that Medic lost russian roulette that he was forced to do by Spy, obviously getting shot once, and then he shoots Spy twice at the end
One thing I like is, how soldier is portrayed in this film. At first you kind of expect him to be the insane, wild card of the cast, but after a while you realize that he is probably the sanest person in the whole film
@@crossbo5345For the most part. He was willing to do a suicide explosion after realizing that the Smoker and Jules were evil, hence him helping Medic when the police came by and Soldier killing Blutarch.
I tend to think that's the RED Soldier. It's good that the counterparts from both teams have distinct personalities, just like different people play the same character in the game.
Never in my life have I been tricked into watching a horror movie and been absolutely into it for every moment of it, but here we are. Absolute masterpiece, truly one of the greatest things ever created with SFM
Now imagine if valve hired him before the movie was made then made an ending for comics. And then made this movie canonical end for the tf2 and then made trailer for tf3. I know there are a lot of lore mismatches, and there ain't no way valve abandons tf2 while it's still alive and one of the most long living and profitable games, and it's more chance that meteor falls at the same place for 50 times at 2 days time period that Tf3 will ever exist, but just imagine what shock it would cause, of course a lot of people would be mad and a lot of just lost speech just imagine the chaos it would cause.
Imagine Valve makes a new item just titled "A fucking Emmy" Description: "Yall need to chill, this was intended for comedy" Imbued with an ominous power
This has to be both the creepiest and the most confusing movie I've seen in a very long time. To think such an incredible masterpiece was made on the SFM fills me with awe.
In Russia, if hand is rotten, you cut off hand. If arm is rotten, you cut off arm. But if heart is rotten... you cut off leg. This is Russian love song.
it fills me more with dread that someone was powerful enough to create a movie that long and amazing IN SFM I watched too much lazy purple to not think of all the problems it had, how much it broke and crashed and failed. Yet it is so well made, dunno who gave the creators will and strength to finish it, but I applaud them
I like how even when they're being attacked by insane serial killers and monsters, Red Demoman and Blu Soldier have a good time together since they're friends, just like in the lore.
I just want to say, that the entire sequence with Scout in his home is genuinely unsettling. Scout listening to his own voice on the other end of the phone, his mothers' head peering out from around the corner at him with the whistling. It's just such a well done scene, so good.
That scene was a complete and utter masterclass in terror. The atmosphere, the lack of music/fanfare/jumpscares, you just see the look of absolute dread on Scout's face...and then the next scene, there it is. Just, perfection.
@@DarkStriker06 I also caught that when I first watched the movie. The atmosphere was already unnerving, and her not sounding normal added to that. Then her head dropped to the ground and you realize it wasn't her at all.
@kepi1812 I'd like to tell you to imagine a world where no one ever iterated on ideas like a time machine because the namesake book did it 100+ years ago, but the drawers your thinking is stuck in tell me to save both yours and my time.
@kepi1812 too many references yeah. It was neat at first but eventually became really distracting, especially the multitude of Shining references. Student film quality though it’s fantastic.
@@slyseal2091 How pretentious can you be...? He's simply pointing out that it just isn't very good all things considered, and you react by projecting your own closed-minded thinking onto him. "the drawers your thinking is stuck in tell me to save both yours and my time", hahah! How pathetically ironic of you. I suppose my comment is admittedly quite pointless, because with just one comment you have shown to be the kind of person who never changes their mind. You'll simply dig your feet into the group, no matter how stupid your position is.
SFM may be wildly outdated & can frequently be as quirky as hell, but one of its greatest strengths is how a creator can so deftly include minor gestures & facial expressions...If the Team were modeled to be more realistically human, you might begin to wonder who hired such great actors.
@@vilxux9752 It's all about the Respawn Machine that brings dead Team members back to life. It's not perfect. It's failures leave unpredictable changes in their minds, psyches, & bodies (sometimes even resulting in another immediate or not so immediate physical death again). Let's face it, even by the standards of the world they live in (ie- the background lore in the comics & various videos), these guys are clinically insane. They had their mental quirks even before being hired & experimented on for this purpose but each respawn they go through further solidifies how bad they are at functioning even in the warped society where they came from. They were chosen because they were the very few who *survived* the initial testing & experimentation but that was by no means leaving them unscathed. The mental scarring is the worst, even if they don't retain any conscious memories after walking out of the machine, there is still the lasting emotional impact. they have to deal with. How else can they find the idea that they're fighting copies of themselves on the opposing Team as being "normal?" Why is it pretty much only those nine people that get thrown into the meat grinder of war? These are just two ideas that they deal with on a daily basis, never really having someone else to unload their mental burdens or help them cope with them. They only have each other even though they're all stuck in the same situation & have no opportunity to see outside of it. What kind of mental stress do they go through every time they're "reconstituted" by that machine? Twenty seconds to respawn "in game" is a long time to a mind on the edge of true death... "It's eternity in there." The human mind was never wired to understand the true meaning of eternity.
First we went from short animated funny skits to full length horror films. I swear, the SFM community has not only put another nail in the coffin of Hollywood but also outdone their horror movie industry! This was so well done!
Just saw this again for 2nd time my little sister watched it too see thought it was pretty good. I'm gonna see this every Halloween for now long, see you next year Emesis Blue.
"You're gonna make it, Fritz" "I know" This line hits hard. Doc knew he would pull it through no matter if he got shot or not. This is one of the best psychological horror thriller I've ever seen.
The reason this was such good horror was the fact that all that none of the main characters acted dumb or make bad choices and most of them still couldn’t escape.
I don't know about that, Spy was pretty dumb when he slapped a literal rocket launcher out of a guys arms. And then he has the audacity to get mad at Solider for blowing up the car as if he didn't throw the launcher on the ground.
Good point! Though this is helped tremendously by the surreal nature of the setting. Hard to tell what's real let alone what a good decision in a situation would be considering that.
@@anthonyrodriguez8788 Well spy was the antagonist of the movie much I think, he executed a lot of people for himself, he always called soldier 'an idiot' although soldier saved him from literally death. He lied to people that Medic suicided because he was too scared to be caught, made himself Chairman although he didn't deserve. He was at least an anti-hero.
@@cactuss33dsYou think these guys actually still watch movies? Bet they haven't even played any games except TF2. Why I think so? Well, they watch reviewers who hate everything, and they base their opinion on it, and because of that, they avoid playing or watching them.
This is how you make a horror movie. No dumb characters making dumb decisions, no wastage of time, no repetitive jumpscares and just pure suspense and horror. Fortress Film your years of hard work was definitely way more worth than we thought would love to more videos of these.
The elevator was mortifying. So much emotion, yet zero words. Watching medic lose it while the other two just stare at each other...what a brilliant scene
That “See you on the other side” from sniper was absolute heart-stopping. It was also genuinely terrifying during the crowbar scene, when we first realize what is going on. 10/10 film.
> No characters with negative IQ Yeah but seeing spy standing there, pointing his gun at the Pyro (who has a submachine gun) definitely made me go "Ehhh?"
Spy is the one exception. Man throws a damn rocket launcher to the ground, points a gun at a guy who's already holding his gun out, and throws a cigarette in a room that he himself doused with gas
Medic's character arc is unironically one of the best in any film I have ever seen. I'm genuinely blown away at the quality of this film. It doesn't just deserve a Saxxy, it deserves a goddamn Academy Award
10:08 Soldier: Doc... What is wrong with the teleporter? Medic: It doesn't always work like it's supposed to. Tumors get in the bread...Trying to come through. Soldier: What the hell are you talking about, Doc? Medic: We cannot teleport bread anymore...
10:08 Soldier: Doc... What is wrong with the teleporter? Medic: It doesn't always work like it's supposed to. Tumors get in the bread...Trying to come through. Soldier: What the hell are you talking about, Doc? Medic: We cannot teleport bread anymore...
everything about this is perfect, the acting, the animation, the lighting, the colors, the composition, the plot, the horror. Honestly hope that this blows up more than it already has.
Ima be honest im kinda disappointed with the story, i thought it would all go back around and make sense, like maybe spy turns into the guy with the mask and maybe the medic at the end gives the briefcase to heavy and restarts the story
The entire Scout side plot was legitimately disturbing. Just a guy getting by, accidentally getting ruined and intoxicated by the medic, only to be stalked, kidnapped, and mutilated into an expendable, thoughtless demon designed to kill
@@theabyss310 I was gonna say I thought that was RED team's Scout but then I remembered he's one of the corpses upstairs in the gun area, so now I don't know lol
"I'm so excited to see scout in emesis blue" I saids with excitement. little did I knows it would be a feature a creature feature featuring, the creature
honestly i didn't even know it was a horror movie because i picked up NONE of what happened there was blood and death and anti-death and that's about it
01:13:20 Canonically, the blue soldier and the red demoman were friends even though they had to fight on opposite sides. At this moment, even in death, the demoman tries to make a final move to save his friend.
1:36:45 I just find it really funny when the spy tells everyone at the funeral that the guy died and everyone gasps like they weren't at his fucking funeral at that very moment.
@@twerp3428 he goes to the afterlife at the end after being killed in a car crash, and that’s also where all the respawn incompatible people stay for the rest of time. Because Jeremy was respawn incompatible, he stays there forever, and Fritz smiles because he finally sees him again. Then a misformed, flaming version of him spawns from the respawn machine in Connegher Slaughterhouse.
@@Tarnished-bn5gq OOH so he realized that he was like, dead dead, so he smiled. And if you died and didn't come back you were in the afterlife and the other you that came back is a monster. Got it thanks 😎👍
@@twerp3428 not exactly… Fritz dying in the car crash didn’t disable his respawn compatibility, he just was in the purgatory until being respawned, however the respawn machine was broken by the slaughterhouse’s destruction, so the respawned Fritz was the flaming one we saw at the end.
its to protect him from the fire he works with, he probably takes it off when he is at home and not with the other mercenaries, he could wear it off duty because maybe he is paranoid that something might happen.
32:05 these two shots are so damn clever, having him pull his gloves off with his teeth but keeping his hands out of frame and removing his overcoat shown only in silhouette is such an incredibly smartvway to avoid having to animate realistic cloth physics in an engine that was absolutely not designed for them.
The fact in how you can grab these normally cartoony characters on somehow write and produce thriller that is not only well made but that also can be taken seriously and get you invested from start to end is more than just impresive. This is more than a fan animation, this is a work of art.
One thing I find really interesting, is how medic's regeneration is... something that shouldn't really be surprising, since he's the only character in game who has passive HP regen without any additional unlocks. He's already a regenerative beast who can heal back a shotgun blast to the chest in less than a minute, it's just recontextualized in the same way the respawns were, making it appear unnatural, surreal, horrific and creepy. What a wonderful film.
yeah, i actually didn't bat an eye at his regeneration scenes, I've read the comics and main him, so having a grotesque regeneration scene is something i kinda expected. SPOILER: I still got so surprised by the funeral regeneration scene i said out lot "A la verga" while my family was asleep lmao
@@DellConagher1 with the comics i meant how he does horrible experiments and bends the laws of nature, dude revived all of the mercs with absolutely insane methods, compared to that i think him having passive regen isnt all out there (The Naked and The Dead had a scene where he talks with the devil and gets up perfectly fine from being shot, don't know if that counts)
This was genuinely one of the most impressive SFM animations I've watched. The years of effort put into this project is astounding, and it was hard for me to look away just for a single second. I feel like you guys are severely underappreciated for the quality of work you guys put into your projects, so I hope this blows up. This is a must-watch for anyone binging TF2 SFMs.
Some interesting things I noticed while watching Scout picks up a movie called M (1931), a famous German thriller about a man in black that kills children. He’d paint a bloody M on his palm which stood for Murder. The movie’s director also shares the same first name with the BLU medic: Fritz. Both archibald and scout have stitched wounds on the left side of their head. After Soldier meets Archibald, his head wound is gone, but he is then shot in the exact place his stitches used to be. The color black is synonymous with death. All the undead mercenaries wear it, the RED sniper switches to black attire once he becomes another member. The BLU spy’s trenchcoat is scorched black. The BLU medic wears all black when he emerges from the coffin (which is foreshadowed in an earlier dream sequence) Also for my own personal theory on the plague doctor: I believe it to be a representation or incarnation of Death. It's possible the plague doctor is an alter ego of the medic as well, but I won't go into that as there are a few inconsistencies that disprove this theory. The plague doctor being Death could be shown in how it only seems to manifest or appear where someone has died, or where death is in abundance (the war flashback). It also wears all black, which as shown is symbolic of death in this film. The plague doctor guides the BLU team to the slaughterhouse to uncover the truth, but also in guiding them there, results in the death of all the "undead" creatures that eluded it. It looks on in approval when Fritz executes the BLU spy and begins a slaughter at the funeral.
To add onto this, there are several references to Kubrick's work. The most noticeable examples I saw being two from The Shining (the scenes featuring doors opening and releasing a flood, The Red Bathroom ambiguously representing some sort of afterlife) and one from Dr. Strangelove (The War Room scene, it's already an asset in TF2, but the framing and black-and-white coloring really hones in on the reference to the original movie.) There could be more but those were the ones I remembered on first viewing.
@@icyatlasartworks You could say he was about to join them though, given he was about to use a handgrenade to take himself and Spy out together during Spy's speech, until Medic pulled his switcheroo reveal. Aside from the in-world funeral reason, thematically, it could also be for that too.
Soldier listening in on a conversation he hadn’t had yet was so fascinating. And for a moment I genuinely considered the fact that soldier was carrying around a corpse and hallucinating their conversations. When Archibald called him a corpse it tripped me out even more. But seeing him wander around alone made me reconsider it.
@@bruschetta7711 It’s a very similar feeling after watching the shining, the racing thoughts you have trying to comprehend the meaning or find a fitting explanation or interpretation. But no matter how many varieties you go through there will never be a way to fully understand since we can’t dive headfirst into the directors mind

I waited far too long to actually sit down and watch this. I didn't know SFM could be used to make a high quality feature film, and a spooky one at that! Everything is so tastefully done. The animation is stylish but respects the source material. The characters line up with the original mercs really well. Nothing is ever gratuitous, and none of the humour that is sprinkled in undercuts the horror.
Imagine if they were using a software more powerful than SFM (pretty much everything), wouldn't that just make it a more than perfect movie?
My favorite part of this is honestly how they kept the friendship between Soldier and Demo. It’s just nice, I don’t know.
facts! i was so happy
Soldier and demoman actually friends (yes its canon.)

In TF2 comics, Blu Soldier was friends with Red Demoman, so it makes sense. In this, it is also Blu Soldier and Red Demoman.

44:09 You can hear German stuka dive bombers as the sound of the mutated scout which indicates that Emesis blue soldier did serve in the Second World War as opposed to his TF2 version who hasn’t seen the horrors of war, glorifies war and shows off his non existent service in ww2.
Correction, although not officially serving in any US military branch, TF2 soldier did fight in ww2. He just did it by himself. Not disagreeing though, TF2 soldier does glorify war. He's just a psychopath like the rest of his colleagues.
@@jeremiahtomcanin487 that in itself is _also_ wrong. Soldier never fought in WW2. He just went to Germany and started slaughtering innocents indiscriminately... which happened *after* WW2 was over.

Can we talk about Spy for a second?
When Spy says "Who is there to save ME, Jules?" He overlooks Soldier. Soldier not only saved him once, during the confrotation with Heavy, but twice, when he tackled Spy to cover. He overlooks the fact it was his own fault, not Soldiers, that the Car blew up. He overlooks that Soldier just couldn't save him, not that he didn't try. When he flicks the cigeratte at Pyro, he never crossed his mind that he would've gotten burnt. He never realized that almost everything bad that happened to him was his own fault, and you could argue that his murder was technically his own fault too, since his insane depravity lead to Medic murdering him. He's a massive fucking hypocrite.
yeah, the canon Spy would consider this dude a fucking hack amateur and "disgrace to spies everywhere" (that's the voice line when a Spy dominates an enemy spy ingame.) His acting sucks (getting caught out as a fake at the crime scene), he didn't matador backstab the Heavy at the beginning of the movie despite having a clear opportunity to, he barely even shoots anyone with his revolver, and just is a fuckup in general.
True
That's a damn good detail
spy is the DSP character of the film, he did nothing wrong and its everyone elses fault
Let's say, hypothetically, I am a barbie girl. Okay let's even say I'm in a barbie world. Right so, in this scenario, I would obviously know from personal experience that life in plastic is fantastic. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume you could brush my hair and undress me literally everywhere? Imagination; you can derive from the fundamentals of basic logic that life is your creation.
never thought I'd see the day that a really fantastic psychological horror film would take place primarily within 2fort starring tf2 characters.
2fort is a psychological horror that every tf2 fan fear
I love the way they made them look I don’t know, but they changed they look more human and cold
@@elijah1791The use of mo-cap suits definitely helped, but I think the main thing is the animation for the facial expressions, especially the eyes.

You can tell from 1:22:42 that 4/6 spots in the revolver are empty. the top 3 are empty, and the middle on the bottom is also empty. Meaning, Spy never was in danger, and it was ultimately a 50/50 for Soldier and Medic

I don't think anyone would have guessed a horror-thriller would be the first notable, high-quality, TRUE feature-length SFM animation, that was also still grounded it in the TF2 world (albeit with more grittiness/seriousness and the use of popular headcanons).
Personally, I'm a sucker for any exploration into a respawn machine existing and explaining why there are just 9 mercenaries, especially when it explores just how potentially terrifying the concept can be. I genuinely enjoyed watching this abstract piece of art. Kudos to all those who worked on it! You guys put out a GREAT piece of artwork!
the skymin is real?!?
I agree! The people who made this did an amazing job, it's really cool that somebody got an idea like this as I think it works very well.
Ik it's a strange request but I hope you (or other viewers/influencers) can share this film around. It honestly deserves way more views than its getting right now considering the amount of effort that went into it.
Huh, looks like other TF2Tubers enjoy this stuff too.
Why do i feel like ive seen you before??? Sorry if this confuses you, but im very confused myself
Another thing; not only does Soldier get quieter the more happens to him, you also see more and more of his eyes as the movie progresses
It's like his eyes have finally been opened to the horrors around him. He's seen too much, and now he can't *unsee*
I can't believe it's been 11 months since I watched it when it came out. I thought it was like 5 months...
He'll never be able to go fully back to normal after what he's seen...
You’re black
Holy, I never even realized that and I’ve watched this like 4 times. Good find
I think I can (somewhat) provide translations for Pyro here:
37:40 “Don’t move.”
37:49 “Stay right there.”
37:55 “Drop it.”
38:00 “Turn to face me.”
38:08 “Now get down.”
38:18 “Wait right here.”
38:34 (Laughter)
1:06:30 “Where is he?”
I actually saw someone theorize that this is the red spy! And if that's true, it means there is no pyro in this film. Pretty eerie to leave them out :) Not trying to tell you that you're wrong or whatever, I just think it would be cool as fuck.
Yeah I think so because pyro has canisters on his mask and that wouldn't work with the mask
@@Puro218 A key plot point of this movie is that the respawn machine slowly strips away the humanity of the people using it, and considering Pyro is hardly all there in regular TF2 lore, I'd say it's pretty safe to say that he's not human at all here, just some sort of respawn machine abomination that thinks it's Pyro
@Red-pq4xx I think like it could be the "10th class" (if he isn't already the Undertaker) as in one of the photos and hallucinations later in the video, he's on fire as he comes out of the respawn machine, which explains the peak under the mask.

There is literally a comment that states that Solider used to talk alot before, but after Conagher's Slaughterhouse he didn't talk alot. Proving his trauma.
RED: "random goofy things including fighting robots and teleporting bread"
BLU: "actual horror that will make you stay up at night"
I like how Soldier is still dumb. Usually in SFM animations he's either normal, just as comically stupid as he is in-game, or a stand-in for some meme thing. It's nice to see that you kept that character trait without making it overbearing.
In this they made him naive instead, then broke it down. Seems more appropriate for a project like this, I like that.
yeah his morals cracked after what he saw
I wouldnt say dumb more so cocky and naive, good point tho it is a nice change of pace

what's even more serendipitous about that, is that Medic lost russian roulette that he was forced to do by Spy, obviously getting shot once, and then he shoots Spy twice at the end

One thing I like is, how soldier is portrayed in this film. At first you kind of expect him to be the insane, wild card of the cast, but after a while you realize that he is probably the sanest person in the whole film
to me, he's kind of like a loyal dog. willing to follow you to the end of the earth, and nearly forgiving of everything.
@@crossbo5345For the most part. He was willing to do a suicide explosion after realizing that the Smoker and Jules were evil, hence him helping Medic when the police came by and Soldier killing Blutarch.

@@willzsocial let me break it down for you: "The film does such a great job of showing that even without dialogue it's entertaining"
I just want to say, that the entire sequence with Scout in his home is genuinely unsettling. Scout listening to his own voice on the other end of the phone, his mothers' head peering out from around the corner at him with the whistling. It's just such a well done scene, so good.
That scene was a complete and utter masterclass in terror. The atmosphere, the lack of music/fanfare/jumpscares, you just see the look of absolute dread on Scout's face...and then the next scene, there it is. Just, perfection.
I found the mother's voice a bit unsettling when she says "Dinner's ready dear" right before the phone rings. It doesn't sound right
You forgot about the mothers head dropping.
@@DarkStriker06 I also caught that when I first watched the movie. The atmosphere was already unnerving, and her not sounding normal added to that. Then her head dropped to the ground and you realize it wasn't her at all.
“You ever get the feeling like you're being watched?”
The end really brought it together with medic taking diazepan unknowingly and being found dead by crashing

@@vilxux9752 i watched it 3 times
And i barely know whats going on bruh
@@vilxux9752 It's all about the Respawn Machine that brings dead Team members back to life. It's not perfect. It's failures leave unpredictable changes in their minds, psyches, & bodies (sometimes even resulting in another immediate or not so immediate physical death again).
Let's face it, even by the standards of the world they live in (ie- the background lore in the comics & various videos), these guys are clinically insane. They had their mental quirks even before being hired & experimented on for this purpose but each respawn they go through further solidifies how bad they are at functioning even in the warped society where they came from. They were chosen because they were the very few who *survived* the initial testing & experimentation but that was by no means leaving them unscathed.
The mental scarring is the worst, even if they don't retain any conscious memories after walking out of the machine, there is still the lasting emotional impact. they have to deal with. How else can they find the idea that they're fighting copies of themselves on the opposing Team as being "normal?" Why is it pretty much only those nine people that get thrown into the meat grinder of war? These are just two ideas that they deal with on a daily basis, never really having someone else to unload their mental burdens or help them cope with them. They only have each other even though they're all stuck in the same situation & have no opportunity to see outside of it.
What kind of mental stress do they go through every time they're "reconstituted" by that machine? Twenty seconds to respawn "in game" is a long time to a mind on the edge of true death...
"It's eternity in there."
The human mind was never wired to understand the true meaning of eternity.

And then he has the audacity to get mad at Solider for blowing up the car as if he didn't throw the launcher on the ground.

Ima be honest im kinda disappointed with the story, i thought it would all go back around and make sense, like maybe spy turns into the guy with the mask and maybe the medic at the end gives the briefcase to heavy and restarts the story
@@smolltaco5667 Yeah, the loop didn't make much sense if it there wasn't an actual time loop
The entire Scout side plot was legitimately disturbing. Just a guy getting by, accidentally getting ruined and intoxicated by the medic, only to be stalked, kidnapped, and mutilated into an expendable, thoughtless demon designed to kill
They also decapitated scouts mother and kinda toyed with it before kidnapping adding even more pain
Wait are those two are the same scout?
@@dingdong896 I'm not really sure? I always thought they were
I thought that the monster Scout was a hallucination kinda deal
@@theabyss310 I was gonna say I thought that was RED team's Scout but then I remembered he's one of the corpses upstairs in the gun area, so now I don't know lol
"I'm so excited to see scout in emesis blue" I saids with excitement.
little did I knows
it would be a feature
a creature feature
featuring, the creature
I might be late to the party, but this is one of the best horror films I’ve ever watched. It feels like a crime to watch this free of charge
I know, there were so many times when I had recheck whether or not this was a free film
fr, the team deserves every patreon they have
@BreadToasterGamer every single one times 100
Agree,this dude and his team is so underrated
The only thing missing is professional voice actors
"He's been handy sir."
"HE'S GOT NONE LEFT!"
absolutely killed me
Which part?
@@BoundedLead 58:00
Never would I have thought that one of the best psychological horror movies I would ever see would be an TF2 SFM film, well played
honestly same lmao and i watched this late at night so yeah
honestly i didn't even know it was a horror movie because i picked up NONE of what happened
there was blood and death and anti-death and that's about it
@@bjmax3045 🤨
01:13:20 Canonically, the blue soldier and the red demoman were friends even though they had to fight on opposite sides. At this moment, even in death, the demoman tries to make a final move to save his friend.
I'm genuinely impressed by how a seemingly goofy tool such as sfm could be used to tell a story in such morbid and immersive way
It what it was meant for, its just jank.
You never seen any other SFM vids before?
@@baconingbad not of this quality
1:36:45 I just find it really funny when the spy tells everyone at the funeral that the guy died and everyone gasps like they weren't at his fucking funeral at that very moment.
"The heavy is dead!?"
"Yes. He died!"
Definitely feels like a joke that the TF2 comics would make.
@@jtlego1 i wish the tf2 comic was still going
@@GermaphobeMusic why is dead heavy?
I think it’s more the fact he was murdered and didn’t have a heart attack or something
“Hey, Doc!”
Holy shit, that was one of the most chilling final scenes in any movie I’ve ever watched.
i don't really get it, can you explain?
@@twerp3428 he goes to the afterlife at the end after being killed in a car crash, and that’s also where all the respawn incompatible people stay for the rest of time. Because Jeremy was respawn incompatible, he stays there forever, and Fritz smiles because he finally sees him again. Then a misformed, flaming version of him spawns from the respawn machine in Connegher Slaughterhouse.
@@Tarnished-bn5gq OOH so he realized that he was like, dead dead, so he smiled. And if you died and didn't come back you were in the afterlife and the other you that came back is a monster. Got it thanks 😎👍
@@twerp3428 not exactly… Fritz dying in the car crash didn’t disable his respawn compatibility, he just was in the purgatory until being respawned, however the respawn machine was broken by the slaughterhouse’s destruction, so the respawned Fritz was the flaming one we saw at the end.
@@Tarnished-bn5gq im gonna hafta re watch the movie :C
I would recommend this movie. I don't even care if I'm late on watching this. This is a beautiful and very unique SFM (or movie I don't know)
Honestly, the answer of "What is behind Pyro's mask" to be "an almost dead, charred corpse" is... awfully fitting
i expected it to be more than just a corpse from a 19 year old game.
@@MaxwellDST Doesn't matter if its from a 19 year old game. It's still a charred corpse
its to protect him from the fire he works with, he probably takes it off when he is at home and not with the other mercenaries, he could wear it off duty because maybe he is paranoid that something might happen.
@@TwoNumbahNiens not awfull corpse anymore from a 19 year old game that got turned into a hobo in gmod darkrp servers.
Well, that's what it always looked like.
32:05 these two shots are so damn clever, having him pull his gloves off with his teeth but keeping his hands out of frame and removing his overcoat shown only in silhouette is such an incredibly smartvway to avoid having to animate realistic cloth physics in an engine that was absolutely not designed for them.
Holy shit, you are right. That is clever as crap.
Don't forget the scene where Spy's mask is removed. The way they did it was... Mwa, chief's kiss.
@tavdog11 chief’s kiss
Do y'all mean Chef's Kiss?
ja
I think it's to change models, from the coated one to the uncoated one.
The fact in how you can grab these normally cartoony characters on somehow write and produce thriller that is not only well made but that also can be taken seriously and get you invested from start to end is more than just impresive.
This is more than a fan animation, this is a work of art.
I've been on a kick for SFM horror videos recently and now I've watched the grand-daddy of them all. This was truly a phenomenal work of art.
The fact that multiple time loops are happening at the same time during this whole thing makes it so much more terrifying.
Wdym?
Sorry I'm confused
Well, there are time loops in the movie? @@GoTouchsomegrassyt
One thing I find really interesting, is how medic's regeneration is... something that shouldn't really be surprising, since he's the only character in game who has passive HP regen without any additional unlocks. He's already a regenerative beast who can heal back a shotgun blast to the chest in less than a minute, it's just recontextualized in the same way the respawns were, making it appear unnatural, surreal, horrific and creepy. What a wonderful film.
yeah, i actually didn't bat an eye at his regeneration scenes, I've read the comics and main him, so having a grotesque regeneration scene is something i kinda expected.
SPOILER:
I still got so surprised by the funeral regeneration scene i said out lot "A la verga" while my family was asleep lmao
@@SommerSen when was it shown/highlighted in comics he had passive regen?
@@DellConagher1 with the comics i meant how he does horrible experiments and bends the laws of nature, dude revived all of the mercs with absolutely insane methods, compared to that i think him having passive regen isnt all out there
(The Naked and The Dead had a scene where he talks with the devil and gets up perfectly fine from being shot, don't know if that counts)
I think it's less about the in-game regen, and more tied to the comics, where medic made a deal with the devil to come back to life.
@@SommerSen yeah but thats all flashy stuff
This was genuinely one of the most impressive SFM animations I've watched. The years of effort put into this project is astounding, and it was hard for me to look away just for a single second. I feel like you guys are severely underappreciated for the quality of work you guys put into your projects, so I hope this blows up. This is a must-watch for anyone binging TF2 SFMs.
YEARS? omg the drive,
I've honestly forgot how long I've been waiting
You would think after years it would be the most impressive, not one of lol
@@PopstarDracula Hey look it’s the annoying catchphrase person from the live chat.
For me that's THE most impressive sfm animations ever made
“I’ve already lost one man, not gonna lose another!” Hits kinda hard
Some interesting things I noticed while watching
Scout picks up a movie called M (1931), a famous German thriller about a man in black that kills children. He’d paint a bloody M on his palm which stood for Murder. The movie’s director also shares the same first name with the BLU medic: Fritz.
Both archibald and scout have stitched wounds on the left side of their head. After Soldier meets Archibald, his head wound is gone, but he is then shot in the exact place his stitches used to be.
The color black is synonymous with death. All the undead mercenaries wear it, the RED sniper switches to black attire once he becomes another member. The BLU spy’s trenchcoat is scorched black. The BLU medic wears all black when he emerges from the coffin (which is foreshadowed in an earlier dream sequence)
Also for my own personal theory on the plague doctor: I believe it to be a representation or incarnation of Death. It's possible the plague doctor is an alter ego of the medic as well, but I won't go into that as there are a few inconsistencies that disprove this theory.
The plague doctor being Death could be shown in how it only seems to manifest or appear where someone has died, or where death is in abundance (the war flashback). It also wears all black, which as shown is symbolic of death in this film. The plague doctor guides the BLU team to the slaughterhouse to uncover the truth, but also in guiding them there, results in the death of all the "undead" creatures that eluded it. It looks on in approval when Fritz executes the BLU spy and begins a slaughter at the funeral.
To add onto this, there are several references to Kubrick's work. The most noticeable examples I saw being two from The Shining (the scenes featuring doors opening and releasing a flood, The Red Bathroom ambiguously representing some sort of afterlife) and one from Dr. Strangelove (The War Room scene, it's already an asset in TF2, but the framing and black-and-white coloring really hones in on the reference to the original movie.) There could be more but those were the ones I remembered on first viewing.
Does the rule of black dress also apply to Soldier, since he shoots and kills Blutarch?
@@icyatlasartworksI think Soldier wore black because he was initially attending a funeral.
@@cedplayable Oh, I forgot about that.
@@icyatlasartworks You could say he was about to join them though,
given he was about to use a handgrenade to take himself and Spy out together during Spy's speech, until Medic pulled his switcheroo reveal.
Aside from the in-world funeral reason, thematically, it could also be for that too.
Soldier listening in on a conversation he hadn’t had yet was so fascinating. And for a moment I genuinely considered the fact that soldier was carrying around a corpse and hallucinating their conversations. When Archibald called him a corpse it tripped me out even more. But seeing him wander around alone made me reconsider it.
Jeez why I never thought about that
It would need 2 hours to exppain what ACTUALLY happened, and even the it could be just guessing, we don't know what the creator intended
666 likes. No
@@bruschetta7711 It’s a very similar feeling after watching the shining, the racing thoughts you have trying to comprehend the meaning or find a fitting explanation or interpretation. But no matter how many varieties you go through there will never be a way to fully understand since we can’t dive headfirst into the directors mind
The moment at which soldier gets hit by the crowbar and realises that reality was no longer linear was so chilling to me
Even worse, we tried teleporting a sandwich and ended up with a teleporting pickle instead! Talk about a dill-emma!"
@@vishburgula7050😂😂
What does this mean???

I love how it's genuinely creepy while keeping the cartoony world and physics of tf2
