It’s frustrating that horror is not taken seriously at the Oscars because I kept hearing that Demi Moore and Hugh Grant should get Oscar attention but probably won’t next year.
Demi Moore for substance 100%, nic cage for long legs 100% people hate on long legs but nic cage performance was undeniably terrifying! And now Hugh grant for this ! We need to push horror at Oscar’s it’s becoming ridiculous
As a non-Mormon who's entire extended family is LDS, I was instantly intrigued by the premise. Love that it seems to be ambiguous as it unfolds instead of just lazy and tired religious bashing, especially when Mormons are such an easy target. So glad that it's getting this kind of reception and if it's as good as Frailty then it's going to be really special. Can't wait.
As someone who's grown up LDS, it is wild that so many people attack Mormons when most of them seem to be decent people. They don't seem to be the "Everyone is going to hell" types that I can't stand.
@@themidnighttavern6784I'm Mormon and so glad to hear that this isn't offensive. Now I don't go along with all the practices and I identify as Christian but I love the community and the church. And frankly it's refreshing to not have a movie that is just religion bashing. With the Olympics mocking the last supper and then lying about it I'm just so tired of all religions being bashed. I don't bash people who don't believe. Sorry small rant. Lol😂😂
@@ambergerber5162 Yeah, the main thing I'm not fond of, and it has to do more with church culture than in does actual church teachings, is checklist culture. I don't know where you live, but I live near Salt Lake. Having graduated from BYU recently, and being surrounded by an intense church atmosphere, I don't like how some members here are so eager to see you get married and have kids at such a young age, and look down on you if you decide it's not what you want. I can say it's not really like that in other states, members of the church in a lot of coastal areas are far more laid back for instance. But that's something about a lot of religions in general I don't like, people constantly telling you to get married, to go on a mission, to do this or that, otherwise they look down on you.
@@themidnighttavern6784 I live in Indiana and I have just been with the church for like 7 years. Its pretty laid back. Like I agree with some of the things like for instance I drink tea and sometimes coffee and I smoke cigarettes and it's frowned upon but at least no one at my church makes u feel like they are better than u at all. I liked what the last prophet said in a meeting. He said he wished all churches smelled like cigarettes so that if someone does smoke they won't feel singled out because they are worried about others smelling it on them. I really liked that. Maybe it's just me. But like I said before I feel so comfortable in this church but I still identify as Christian and that's not gonna change. Especially now in the state the world is in I personally hold onto my faith in God because my faith in people is rapidly declining. Lol
By the trailer alone, I feel like Hugh Grant has missed his calling in the thriller/horror genre. I cannot wait to see this one. Its been high on my list since the trailer dropped.
There is a quote about loyalty which states, “Loyalty is strong and unwavering only in times when there is NO CONFLICT.” Sometimes, I see Faith as Loyalty. Ooooooh, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE. I come from the school of hard knocks, and I have seen my share of “RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITES “. This going to be FUN! I am going to be quiet now. I don’t want to think too hard and mess up my experience. Thanks, Cody your review was encouraging without spoiling it for me, you’re appreciated as always.
Horror hollywood this year is insane... - Longlegs - Alien: Romulus - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - Heretic - Speak No Evil - The Substance - A Quiet Place: Day One - Abigail - The First Omen - Late Night With The Devil - Terrifier 3 2024 is one of the best year for horror genre"" We still have Smile 2 & Nosferatu i hope this both movie is great aswell.....
I'm a Christian who happens to love horror movies that are done right, so I always have to be cautous about which ones I go see (I skipped out on Immaculate and still on the fence about The First Omen before Halloween this year). While most Christians of all traditions have.... thoughts about Mormonism, to say the least..lol, I was skeptical about this one. Thanks for setting my mind at ease, I'll probably check it out!
Nice! And yeah... I can confirm as a former lds missionary that everyone has some thoughts for sure! What horror movies would you recommend for a Christian to check out? I'm looking to get into some horror
@@CuriousCave128I like the Omen and the first sequel I think it's Damien and the First Omen. Frailty didn't offend me. This might me weird but I'm Christian but I do go to LDS church because honestly it's the only church I have felt comfortable in and not judged for one thing or another. I have a strong faith in God it's generally organized religion and churches that have been a problem for me frankly because of people feeling they have the right to judge others when that should be for God to do. Judge not lest ye be judged. I hope I didn't butcher that scripture. Lol
@@ambergerber5162 Good to know about the first couple Omen movies! No that's not weird at all actually, I think that's really cool you come and feel comfortable there! I totally agree with you that a lot of Christians (even some lds but its heavily discouraged since Christ taught us not to judge!) feel the need to judge others for some reason. Also, you didn't butcher it so no worries!
Hugh Grant has gone from Rom-Com lightweight to one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. He’s only done one other horror movie, though; Lair of the White Worm in 1988. Can’t wait to see Heretic!
@spenser9908 Absolutely. What I meant was he always played lightweight roles, nerdy, nervous, "typical" Brit charmer types. Now he's playing tougher, even menacing characters brilliantly. It's a revelation.
I really liked him in Paddington too. I've just watched this, it was good, he was excellent in it. I liked him in that series where he was married to Nicole Kidman too, I can't remember what it was called.
Hugh Grant in a horror movie?! This breaks my brain! It really makes me want to watch this! Also I super appreciate the heads up that the trailer is spoiler free!
As an Utah resident and massive fan of your channel, this is cool to hear the movie is good! Even as a non-Mormon, I had interest in this due to being surrounded by it my whole life
I’ve been abstaining from social media to avoid drama and negativity but you are one of the few channels that I still watch. You sold me on this movie 👏🏻
Film 🎥 Buff - From 🇬🇧 shores, Just watched this review and I must say you nailed it, I don’t subscribe to many channels , but just subscribed to yours , well done , Great content …. , pls pls can you do Gladiator 2 , and the Small Things like these. Much love & keep up the good work Sir.
As a Mormon, I really wanna watch it, I was nervous that it would be sac-religious, because Mormonism is usually used as slapstick humor, but I'm really excited to see how it turns out.
It was done really well. The characters are well informed and have great presence as missionaries. Some of the dialogue and challenges were written great.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Have you seen it yet? I don’t want to say too much but the way Mormonism was treated in the movie was one of my favorite aspects of it.
It is a sad state we live in where trailers that don't give too many spoilers or horror movies that don't rely on too many jump scares feels like a breath of fresh air, but here we are. This one, may very well check it out. Wasn't familiar about it before, but does sound interesting. Thank you, Cody.
When i first saw this trailer at a showing of Longlegs i thought it looked like a generic religious spiritual horror film. And i basically said, "well not seeing that". But i come to this channel for your opinion as well as the content so I'm definitely going to check this out with my brothers. If it's getting high praise from what i see as a reliable channel it's worth checking out. Thank you. I've changed my mind.
@Cody Much appreciated, SMART horror seems to be even more rare than non gore horror. I appreciate the fact they did something different and built up tension through dialog.
Cody, i know you mainly cover movies, but because you enjoy this type of story, I highly HIGHLY recommend/insist you watch the limited series Midnight Mass.
Awesome review. I saw the movie in Dolby Thursday. I thought it was a very good movie, I didn't get bored I didn't keep track of time. The sound was amazing whoever did the score for this movie did an excellent job. The acting was superb. I really believe the characters. My two favorite this year were Snile 2 and Heretic.
So excited to see this one. The first trailer is chilling as hell. I consider myself a Christian so it’ll be interesting to see what this movie has to say about religion
Clicked on this so fast! As a born and raised Catholic who's also a lifelong horror fan, I appreciate your respect for religion, especially within the horror community where the two are often seen as mutually exclusive. The trailer really piqued my interest and after hearing your thoughts I'm even more excited to check this one out!
Thank you for respecting people’s faith regardless of your own. I mean that sincerely. I feel OK seeing this film now thanks to your review. God bless you Cody Leach
I just saw and heard about it for the first time via the trailer a few minutes ago. I am completely excited to see this. Hugh looks awesome as this type of character and I am not even entirely sure of what kind of character he is playing! This is what I love about horror and film.
Was unsure about seeing this as faith is important to me, but it seems as though a24 has cracked the mainstream approach to this topic! Can't wait to see this Hugh grant performance and excited for 31 on 31 year 6(?7?)
Unrelated, but I was just watching your top 100 movies of all time and you mentioned wanting to do a standalone video discussing Rudderless....you should do that 😊
SPOILER QUESTION FOR CODY When Topher Grace comes looking for them, that is the distraction for the “trick” to happen. How was he expecting them to be distracted for the he couldn’t have known Topher Grace was showing up at that exact time?
I was a bit surprise when the motivations of Mr. Reed are revealed in the 3rd act in the film. It shows that Beck and Woods decided to go in a different direction instead of typical cliche motives that we seen before in horror movies like this one.
This sounds very promising. It's been a pretty good year for religious horror. (The First Omen, Immaculate, and now I'll have to check this out.) That's something I'm a little surprised to be saying. Like you, Cody, this is a subgenre that I've usually found can get pretty monotonous. Thanks for the video, man!
Just got home from seeing this. I loved it. Plain and simple. I want to watch again and really deconstruct the hints of what's really going on, but with aomeone who hasn't seen it so I can enjoy their reactions 😂
I'm interested to see how this goes. I'm a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) and former missionary and I've never seen a believable/accurate representation of a Latter-day Saint in mainstream media. We are almost always portrayed as mysterious and culty OR nice but naive and sheltered. Curious if either of those were your take on the portrayals.
Iv seen the film and loved it. One of Hugh grants character s points to the girls is that there were deities who had the birthday December 25th who existed before Jesus. It's a straw man argument. Firstly Jesus wasn't born on the date December 25th that's a myth by all accounts he was born in ataumn but we have no "date" and these gods he is telling them about are made up it's like the proofs in the zeitgeist movie that was on the internet. It's a brilliant film,but the Social engineering in it is to mislead the young audience in to thinking ah i suppose God is a made up as games like monopoly
The 2 main actresses are both former LDS, so I think they have a good insight. I'm not a member so I can't speak to accuracy, but I found their portrayal to be respectful and nuanced. They weren't stereotypes, were likeable, and were shown to be pretty intelligent. One of the girls comes across as a bit sheltered, but not in a cartoonish way imo If you do give it a watch, I'd be interested to hear what you think 😊
I love the fact that he didn't mention Topher Grace being part of the movie or lack there of that was my 2nd negative alongside the 3rd act. It's still a great movie
Cody good to see you again. I have heard about the Heretic. I wanted to hear about it. What you think about it. I'm going to see it this week. With a friend. The cast looks good. I do enjoy movies like Smile and terrifier. True! It is nice to have a movie. Without a lot of jump scares. Looking forward to another great video. Horror movies rule.
Thanks for the review Cody! This is the movie I'm taking my mom to see for her birthday when it comes out in November, so I have high hopes about it! :)
Thanks! I can't wait for this to come out in theaters. I was wondering if you would like it since it is A24. It may be a tough battle for #1 horror movie this year with this movie and The Substance. The latter definitely has a high level of rewatchability.
I agree with you about Heretic been one of the best, if not the best in the festival. I am thinking of rewatching it once it comes out to teathers with my mother and sister.
I was thinking about taking my mom to see this movie I was a little weary because my mom is more religious than I am but we both love a good horror movie. So I’m really happy to hear this and I will definitely be taking her
Update to this comment I left on this video: I saw the movie on Nov. 8 and I was not disappointed! Great film, and I have you to thank for letting me know about it!
It’s frustrating that horror is not taken seriously at the Oscars because I kept hearing that Demi Moore and Hugh Grant should get Oscar attention but probably won’t next year.
Demi Moore DEFINITELY deserves an Oscar for The Substance! One of the best performances in horror inna long time!!
I feel your frustration, dude. Hopefully, Get Out changes that.
Demi Moore for substance 100%, nic cage for long legs 100% people hate on long legs but nic cage performance was undeniably terrifying! And now Hugh grant for this ! We need to push horror at Oscar’s it’s becoming ridiculous
Demi Moore is actually in the running for an Oscar. For the substance. She deserves to win
What's the Oscars 🙄
I don’t watch trailers I watch Cody’s reviews
Me too 😂🤘🏼
His reviews often lean a bit too cynical for my tastes
Same
Wise
True that brother
Sold me with “thinking man horror film.” Can’t wait to see it! Thanks, Cody!
Saw it last night absolutely loved this one! Couldn’t believe how well this script is written. One of the very best scripts of the year
I'm pretty damn sure you're gonna love Substance,absolutely mind blowing.We also have Iron lung,Wolfman and Nosferatu coming up,great year for horror.
We also have Strange Darling, Oddity, Cuckoo, Longlegs, and Terrifier 3. What a great year of horror.
I don’t like the Substance as a movie, but the acting by Demi Moore was great.
As a former missionary, I'm super excited for this!
Was it scary being one ?
Same. Plus my mother was a Sister Barnes. 😂

Had to click on this FAST!!!
Remember Folks! Hugh Grants 1st Horror Movie was The Lair of the White Worm!!
Crazy Ass Film!
Crazy doesn't do it justice !! LOL
But he was so wussy and not at all a charming, creepy, sneaky bad guy

These guys also did HAUNT which was one of my favorite horror movies of that year
Horror hollywood this year is insane...
- Longlegs
- Alien: Romulus
- Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
- Heretic
- Speak No Evil
- The Substance
- A Quiet Place: Day One
- Abigail
- The First Omen
- Late Night With The Devil
- Terrifier 3
2024 is one of the best year for horror genre""
We still have Smile 2 & Nosferatu i hope this both movie is great aswell.....
Longlegs dropped the ball in the third act, though.
Solid list otherwise.

Well this sounds like my type of movie , thanks for the review I will be looking for this one when it comes out !
I was looking forward to this movie but now I'm officially excited for it!
Wow, you got me really hyped now. Looking forward to seeing this
I hung onto every word. Five- star review! Thx!
I love Sophie thatcher in yellow jackets so I’m excited :)
So excited to see this movie. The trailer was excellent. So glad to get confirmation.
Thanks! I can't wait for this to come out in theaters. I was wondering if you would like it since it is A24.
It may be a tough battle for #1 horror movie this year with this movie and The Substance. The latter definitely has a high level of rewatchability.
I`m already hooked by the trailer and so excited for this movie!"
Just saw you on the movies official Facebook page!
I'm glad to hear this was really good! I saw the trailer and thought it looked super cool. I'm even more excited to see it now.😊
As someone who was a Mormon, and even served a two year mission in Mexico myself (lol) can’t wait to see this one
Thanks for this, it wasn't on my list of must watch but you changed that.
Cody…you need to review “the substance” I know you’re going to love and I need your review 🙌🏽
Please tell me you’re going to review the substance. Easily one of my favorite films this year and possibly in the top 10 of the decade so far
Cody just watched "The Substance" and would really love to hear your opinion on it!
Cody, when do you plan to review The Substance?
I’m at a festival for 3 more days then traveling home. So idk.
@@CodyLeachYT was my fav horror of the year! It was fantastic, literally no notes. Body horror movie of the decade
I agree with you about Heretic been one of the best, if not the best in the festival. I am thinking of rewatching it once it comes out to teathers with my mother and sister.
Bonjour Monsieur Leach, when do we find out what this years 31 on 31 theme is? Or do we just have to wait 'til the videos drop?
i was waiting for this review after seeing your short for it!!
I was thinking about taking my mom to see this movie I was a little weary because my mom is more religious than I am but we both love a good horror movie. So I’m really happy to hear this and I will definitely be taking her
Hugh Grant was in The Lair of the White Worm in 1988. He pretty much as I can recall never did another horror film. This will be very interesting.
Buzzing for this since seeing it before The Substance, unfortunately seen it again before Megalopolis!
top 5 for me too, immediately! glad to see you agree
i've been so excited for this movie and this review made me even more excited!!! AHHHHHHH
As I said on your tweet, I'm excited to see this. I can't wait! Nov. 8 can't come soon enough!
Update to this comment I left on this video: I saw the movie on Nov. 8 and I was not disappointed! Great film, and I have you to thank for letting me know about it!
Wow just started following u. Love how u explained this movie. Thank u
Excellent review and wonderfully articulated, Cody.
I can’t wait to hear what you think about The Substance lol
