I was so damn sure who the killer was from the beginning. The reveal was probably the hardest I've laughed at a movie in a while. Did I just spend an hour and a half to get rick rolled? Yes. Did I enjoy every minute of it? Also yes.
The reveal of Pete’s “you know what scene” was the most Pete Davidson thing you could ever see on screen. I was LMFAOOOO😂😂 but tbh, I would classify this more of a comedy than a horror film.
Such a fun movie. I didn’t recognize it as satire at first, but I definitely knew it was saying something. Some of the dialog sounding like a literal Twitter thread was hilarious 😂
@@dbgreene9020 that maybe he off-ed himself and they could just be killing each other, yeah. I wasn't sure that's what was happening but it was a possibility. How he did it was a pleasant call back 🤣
Amandla Stenberg's face acting and reactions to moments in this movie were phenomenal. So many points in the film where they have to communicate to the audience how they feel without saying anything and they absolutely nail it every time.
Right now A24 is a seal of quality for me, especially with their twists on horror and suspense recently. Great cast and I love how colorful a dark house was able to be.
“Slay” is tight! Da bomb diggity! All that an a bag of chips. You can’t touch this! Check yo self, before you wreck yourself. They be knockin boots, like it’s 1999! Yeaaaah, boyeeeee!
A24 also distributed Marcel the Shell With Shoes on, which is way better than it should be. Adorable and such a fantastic movie, one of the best I’ve seen this year.
Growing up in the age of social media where everyone can say whatever they want about you is something that definitely shaped how *gen z* portray themselves. The constant self deprecation and "self awareness" is used as a shield to protect themselves from any negative comment. Because if you've already said the worst thing about you, nobody can say anything that will 'affect you.' But it's all a fragile facade.
@@benwasserman8223 Haven't been paying attention to MCU movies recently. But it's possible I saw a quote of it or something along the lines on social media. But yeah hahahaha.
I actually really loved it. Amandla did what she needed to do in this role especially. Their performance toward the ending was so on point. On second viewing it makes the movie even funnier to me. 8/10
So glad someone else is realizing how magnificent their performance is. The way they contort their face to communicate shock and grief after [redacted] is shot is incredible
A24 rarely misses! I wasn’t wowed by the trailer but I’m still excited to see this bc of the positive reviews from the people (not the critics)! I hope this movie is good and entertaining!
@@acidtrungpa4760 Being happy for an actress from my country has nothing to do with politics lmao.. But honestly I dunno why I even explain myself to a basement dweller like yourself 🙃
@@acidtrungpa4760 Misinterpreting everything through a political lens is equally as narrow road to nowhere my friend. Being a Bulgarian ( or a Canadian, or an Iraqi, etc) is not a political viewpoint. It’s a nationality. Nothing more and nothing less. I am not picking up on you, don’t get me wrong. I am just saying that it’s somewhat of a big deal when you see some of your folks, starting from a small country in the geographical ass of Europe, succeeding in his/her career on the biggest markets in the world, which Hollywood happens to be, it makes you feel good. The competition is the highest possible, and knowing that a Bulgarian has a success over there, reignites your courage to dream big and generally have hope. It could be a minority complex, I won’t deny that but I think you were mean spirited when you openly assumed a political motives in this subscriber’s message without processing it carefully. All is good, cheers, from Bulgaria
Isn't this Chris's specifically about the Rudy J thing, especially the "brave" part? I haven't seen the movie so obviously I could be missing something.
This year has already turned out to be a great year for horror movies. X, Prey, Fresh, The Black Phone, The Cursed, Watcher and Scream 5. And for upcoming flicks we have Nope,Smile, bodies bodies bodies, Halloween ends and Don't Worry Darling. Even certain non horror films are getting horror elements, like Multiverse of Madness and The Northman. And I'm not into body horror, but if anyone is,then they can watch Crimes of the future.
I genuinely really enjoyed this movie! We saw it opening weekend in NYC with the cast and director giving a q&a afterwards and it was so fascinating to hear the thought process behind it's creation and how they executed some truly unreal shots.
I'm really glad you're uploading more lately. Obviously you were very busy doing your movie (very excited and was happy I could support it) but I really value and respect your movie opinions, it's great to hear them again 😊
You are the ace of spoiler free reviews! I kind of love that you only review movies that you like now, the reviews are non spoilery but also give you a good idea of what to expect for the best viewing experience. Always insightful and educational to the moviemaking craft, even in short format, but I always want more. I would totally watch a monthly 20 minute rant on one of your favorite movies... Kudos, can't wait to watch YOUR movie Chris!
I don't know if you're aware how cynical, self-deprecating and post-ironic gen z is, but making a movie for us that shits on us the whole time is like the least risky thing I can think of
Love the fact that you are making time lately to still review new movies, Thanks Chris always look forward to you’re reviews and good luck with Shelby oaks 💪🏼
I was a bit annoyed by these characters, but I knew what I was getting into and enjoyed this movie. The thing that got me to love this movie though, was the ending. The big twist recontextulizes it all in a brilliant way. It made me want to go see the movie again, just to see how telegraphed that ending really was. Honestly, may be one of my favorite endings of all time.
I can't believe that the trailer they are showing at the cinema in the Netherlands doesn't mention that the film is directed by Halina Reijn. She's a well-known name here: She occasionally co-hosted a daily talk show with over a million viewers.
I watched The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window without knowing that it was a satire/parody. That was a really cool experience.
From the first trailer I saw of it I thought it was pretty clear it was meant to be a satire. I mean considering how over the top and grating the characters are just from the trailer.
I knew next to nothing about her beforehand, but Rachel Sennot was my absolute favorite in this movie. I wanted to watch Shiva, Baby before, but now I want to see it even more. Absolutely stole the show for me. Fantastic performances all around tbh. The entire cast killed it. It was such a blast and I had so much fun. I was worried about jumpscares but there was only like one or 2 and then it was over for the rest of the film. Fantastic horror/thriller/muder mystery/comedy hybrid. I kinda saw the twist coming, but man being in that theatre watching it with others was such a treat. Go see it if you haven't! I might just watch it again.
Mild spoilers. I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing that tik tok video at the end of the movie. One of the most hilarious twists I’ve seen in a while🤣
for sure A24 really did nail it when it comes to their movies , they might not be great or FANTASTIC but they make movies feel like movies and just the experience
I went into this movie completely blind. I saw that a new A24 movie was coming out, I ordered it on Amazon, and I watched it. No trailers, synopsis, nothing. It was awesome
I love your reviews and film analysis, sometimes I’m afraid of watching them before I see a movie cause I love entering a movie without a clue. But I def needed a review on this one since I didn’t like the trailer, and was afraid of A24 getting sloppy choosing their projects. You know exactly what to say without giving anything away. I guess I just wanted to give you love and give this channel the love that it deserves.
I saw this last night. I thought it was well acted actually to pull it off and I caught on to the premise and enjoyed it. The subtext is once the internet goes down the group slowly begins to communicate with each other more and more like a comment section.
Hey Chris, pretty sure I saw you at the AMC this past Wednesday at the screening for Bodies Bodies Bodies. Wanted to say hi, but you seemed busy. Glad you enjoyed the film! I thought it was great!
Yet another movie I see no marketing for and am unaware it exists until I see reviews for it on YT. If movies don't do well in theaters, the lack of marketing should be acknowledged as part of the problem.
I very GENUINELY believe that Gen Z “Lord of the Flies” is a genius idea and they truly executed it perfectly. I adore how natural everything felt. Like the script, characters, and choreography all felt so… real. Almost bland and unrehearsed but in the best way possible because it felt like they were really experiencing this. Parts of the movie when they’re actually physically fighting with each other felt like what I’d see if it were happening in real life and not some well-choreographed action scene, and that in itself made it a well-choreographed action scene lol. Just so impressive all in all.
@@sole__doubt He was good in Big Time Adolescence and The King of Staten Island. Most people who say he can't act have not even seen his movies though. Just like most people who say they don't like him have never been in the same room with him or even watched an interview of him.
@@sole__doubt Based on what? Pete has maintained friendships with people he met as a teenager. Almost everybody who has acted with him or directed him speaks highly of him. They say he is polite, kind, generous etc. He is close to his family also.
After watching your video I decided to go see the movie last Saturday. It is def not a teen/college student slasher movie. I found it to be pretty funny. One of the better A24 films.
Went in saw this at Capitol Theater in Cleveland today with zero context, didn't even know it existed lol going to start doing that more often. Its a lot of fun going in without expectations
Fun little ride. Worth a watch. But the whole premise of the movie relied on the group assuming that the killer had to be amongst themselves. Which I don’t understand why they ever jumped to that conclusion without entertaining the idea that someone followed them there or something. Just saying….
Just came back from seeing this film. All I knew about it beforehand was the title, nothing else. There was not a single moment where I realized it was supposed to be satire or funny. I just assumed it to be a serious film, so I took it seriously from start to finish. The twist at the end was hugely impactful though. I feel like it would've been less effective to me if I had watched it as a funny movie. :D
I’ll admit that the previews for this movie whenever I went to see other indie films turned me off hard from it due to how cringey and “how do you do, fellow kids?” it seemed. But the fact that it’s meant to be a satire of current Gen Z and internet culture does have it somewhat make more sense, and while I still doubt I’ll head to theaters to see it, I might check it out when it eventually ends up on streaming.
Your first comments about satire made me think of Dual, with Karen Gillan. Starts off as a psychologic drama and add suddenly dark humor until the end. I liked it. But then again, i love dark humor.
I'd love to hear your review on Smile. It scared the fricking shit out of me. I found it a very creepy disturbing interpretation of depression and trauma
What you said about satire and knowing what you’re in for couldn’t be more true than with The Cabin in the Woods. I have friends that had a bad experience with that film because they didn’t know what it was and it explained to them wrong which gave them the wrong expectations.
About what you said with how the film was marketed as a slasher horror instead of a satire, I think thats brilliant. I think so because if this wasn't marketed as a slasher, it wouldn't have succeeded financially. Most a24 movies don't always get big at the box office, so the director tricks audiences into seeing it so that the film can make a better profit out of people. It's the same way M. Night Shyalaman marketed The Village. It wasn't the best, but it was a hit when it came out after the anticipation from him. Other than that, this film is a masterpiece, so yeah.
This movie didn’t have enough jokes to call itself a comedy. If you’re going to go there, really go there. Alice was definitely the funniest to me hands down though. I had a few really good laughs from her
what killed me was the first scene when Amandla was like "I love you" and the girl didn't say anything back, then later on we find out she' s been dating that girl for only 6 weeks. and when they fought for the phone and Amandla thew it away that was hilarious. This movies was funny no lie.
I just watched this last night and what I love most about this movie is the surprise ending. I was guessing something else but I was so wrong and I actually laughed at the revelation before the film ended.
I went into it expecting a horror film and soon into it realized it wasn't. While I won't say any of the actors were bad, most of the characters, I thought atleast, were beyond awful. I kept thinking the entire time, "I wonder if Pete Davidson said he'd do it, only if he didn't have to be in it for long?" The last 30 minutes, while nothing funny happened, I was laughing just thinking how horrible the scenes were. If it was your cup of tea, good for you. I'm entitled to my opinion on it, and I have the right to voice it.
As someone from the south though, hurricane parties are VERY common with people of all class levels, so I can see how from someone else's point of view that can add to the entitlement aspect of the characters but for me it was a completely normal thing to do lol
A24 is one of my recent favs. Yet comedy horror is very rarely well done. Raimi the master of it. Sounds like a "Gen Z Clue".... I'll give it a try though.
Just because of the shirt you're wearing your credibility shot through the roof! Thanks I was really just wanting a slasher film, after seeing your review i know this movie isn't for me.
My coworker and her boyfriend went to see this yesterday. The trailer looked kinda like Scream 1 vibes, to me, but I haven't gotten to ask her how it was.

Without spoiling anything… This movie gave me one of my biggest laughs of the year, it was a dark laugh, but a very good one
The ending scene? That cracked me up
the ending got a huge belly laugh outta me. Fuckin killed me
The "I hAvE bOdy DySmOrphiA" ended me 😭
I was so damn sure who the killer was from the beginning.
The reveal was probably the hardest I've laughed at a movie in a while.

Right all that for nothing 🤣

I only noticed it had to be satire during the gun scene. The dialogue was ridiculous 😂
People are split on the ending, but for me it makes the most sense as to how the movie should end.
Agreed!!
I figured it out as a possibility half way through but the build up and actually reveal were funny, smart, and worth it.

@@Bat_Boy Shut up
The reveal is top tier. Such a tense movie. So hilarious. 10/10 atleast on first viewing.
When the satire finally clicked with me in the last half hour I couldn't stop laughing, it was great
I give it 3/10. Didn’t work for me at all.
yeah im sure this movie is 10/10 if your I.Q is lower than 70 and you drink your own drool.
I guessed the “twist” 5 minutes after David died. It was clear with the satire that no one killed him
There was tense moments, this just sucked
A24 also distributed Marcel the Shell With Shoes on, which is way better than it should be. Adorable and such a fantastic movie, one of the best I’ve seen this year.
Facts, I’m sad that Chris never talked about that and The Northman since they’re by far some of my favorite movies from this year.
It was really cute. Wouldn't say it's one of the best of the year though.

A24 doesn’t go out making movies knowing everyone will like everyone of them. They make movies that are original and crazy! That’s why I love them 🙏

I feel like it would've been less effective to me if I had watched it as a funny movie. :D
Hurricane Parties are pretty typical in Florida to be fair xD
I’ll admit that the previews for this movie whenever I went to see other indie films turned me off hard from it due to how cringey and “how do you do, fellow kids?” it seemed. But the fact that it’s meant to be a satire of current Gen Z and internet culture does have it somewhat make more sense, and while I still doubt I’ll head to theaters to see it, I might check it out when it eventually ends up on streaming.
Your first comments about satire made me think of Dual, with Karen Gillan. Starts off as a psychologic drama and add suddenly dark humor until the end. I liked it. But then again, i love dark humor.
Spoiler
The end where we saw Pete's death as a attention stunt gone wrong had me in stitches
I'd love to hear your review on Smile. It scared the fricking shit out of me. I found it a very creepy disturbing interpretation of depression and trauma
Chris you’re amazing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and bringing new movies to my attention
What you said about satire and knowing what you’re in for couldn’t be more true than with The Cabin in the Woods. I have friends that had a bad experience with that film because they didn’t know what it was and it explained to them wrong which gave them the wrong expectations.
I'm hoping to see this some time. I personally didn't buy the trailer but I have been impressed by Amandla Stenberg.
I like that you stopped grading movies. I used to skip to the grade for movies I wasn’t really interested in but not anymore. Smart move Chris.
My absolute favorite satire of the last decade is Assassination Nation (2018)
Good to see Pete Davidson in another movie
He’s a very average actor in my opinion, I’m looking forward to this but I don’t think he plays anyone but a stoner kid
I want to see him in more horror. In slashers. If they make another Scream movie he should consider being in that
@@shawnhall3849 pretty sure they’d have to ask him first
About what you said with how the film was marketed as a slasher horror instead of a satire, I think thats brilliant. I think so because if this wasn't marketed as a slasher, it wouldn't have succeeded financially. Most a24 movies don't always get big at the box office, so the director tricks audiences into seeing it so that the film can make a better profit out of people. It's the same way M. Night Shyalaman marketed The Village. It wasn't the best, but it was a hit when it came out after the anticipation from him. Other than that, this film is a masterpiece, so yeah.
This is an absolute beautiful film!!!!! One of the better ones I’ve seen in the past 3 years
i thought it was refreshing. something that taps into a little bit of old school with the general mindset in todays time. your modern day “clue”.
Was expecting an annoying satire from the trailer, and while the "your toxic" dialogue was kinda cringe the ending was so great that it made the movie
This movie didn’t have enough jokes to call itself a comedy. If you’re going to go there, really go there. Alice was definitely the funniest to me hands down though. I had a few really good laughs from her
A24 doesn’t write, direct, or act in films. Let’s stop talking about production companies like they’re creatives.
I loved the ending of that movie so much!
what killed me was the first scene when Amandla was like "I love you" and the girl didn't say anything back, then later on we find out she' s been dating that girl for only 6 weeks. and when they fought for the phone and Amandla thew it away that was hilarious. This movies was funny no lie.
Chris. I didn’t know you were at 2 million subscribers. Congrats.
Would love to know your thoughts on NotOK on Hulu. Thought it was brilliant with similar geb z critiques.
I just watched this last night and what I love most about this movie is the surprise ending. I was guessing something else but I was so wrong and I actually laughed at the revelation before the film ended.
I went into it expecting a horror film and soon into it realized it wasn't. While I won't say any of the actors were bad, most of the characters, I thought atleast, were beyond awful. I kept thinking the entire time, "I wonder if Pete Davidson said he'd do it, only if he didn't have to be in it for long?" The last 30 minutes, while nothing funny happened, I was laughing just thinking how horrible the scenes were.
If it was your cup of tea, good for you. I'm entitled to my opinion on it, and I have the right to voice it.
You're giving me strong "Cabin Fever" vibes and I hated that, not because I "didn't get it" but because it suuuuucked.
Question: Is Shelby Oaks going straight to VHS, for $6.99 if I act now?
Chris hit 2 mil congrats 👏👏👏
As someone from the south though, hurricane parties are VERY common with people of all class levels, so I can see how from someone else's point of view that can add to the entitlement aspect of the characters but for me it was a completely normal thing to do lol
A24 is one of my recent favs. Yet comedy horror is very rarely well done. Raimi the master of it. Sounds like a "Gen Z Clue".... I'll give it a try though.
Just because of the shirt you're wearing your credibility shot through the roof! Thanks I was really just wanting a slasher film, after seeing your review i know this movie isn't for me.
Your insight is appreciated as always, Chris.
Hope the fam is doing alright.
~_~
I had no interest, but, That fucking Girl from fucking Borat 2. She's a great actress, and now I'm curious.
I'm glad I watched this before going to the theater. Thanks, Chris!
I’m so excited to see this movie. Hope everyone has a great day!
Best reviewer on the Internet.
I really hope Chris saw Elvis! Austin Butler is Oscar nomination worthy! I wish he reviewed the movie.
Don't forget that Halina Reijn is a dutch actress and this is her first movie she's directed...
I just bought the tickets and 5 mins later you post a video about it super excited because I love whodunnit movies
Wow. Pretty much my thoughts exactly but Rachel Sennott was the standout for me.
I’m intrigued… generally I’m not a fan of these horror movies but might give this one a go some day.
to me most unexpected movie of the year, definitely my fav horror of the year behind bones and all
My coworker and her boyfriend went to see this yesterday. The trailer looked kinda like Scream 1 vibes, to me, but I haven't gotten to ask her how it was.
Chris I’d love to know what you thought of sandman, it’s one of the more inspired stories I’ve seen recently and loved it more than I thought I would.
