This was the only horror movie that I ever walked out on in the middle of the movie. The concept of being terrified of the dark while a cloying, toxic demon allegory of depression was preying on one of the characters hit me in such a visceral way that I couldn't stay in the theatre without absolutely losing my mind. Being medicated now and in therapy, I hope to watch the movie and not feel like I'm crawling out of my skin at the same time that I'm drowning.
Been watching you for a bit now, and this one came up on my recommended. To this day I can't revisit this movie, even in review form, but I appreciate all the different movies you cover in the horror genre ❤️
As someone who's mother has always suffered from mental illness, so bad that she doesn't notice it herself and that my brother and I have to keep an eye out, this movie hits hard for me. I only just found out about it, and I haven't watched it, but I think it would be very triggering just because of how much I've been through due to my mother's mental illness.
@@CZsWorld She's been getting better. I told her about this movie, and about how I don't think I'd be able to watch it because of everything that's happened, and she understood because it really is awful. Medication and therapy do wonders though.
Lights out was fantastically horrifying, also seeing the police get involved was genius cause in reality who wouldn't call 911 seeing something like that.
there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on THERE’S NO SHAME IN SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHTS ON
I think depression also hits harder at night to when you're trying to go to sleep because you're not doing anything and it's usually dark so your mind for some reason usually takes a turn for the worst. I just feel like that's how it is for someone people. Not saying Everyone.
Elric Engquist you’d be surprise, the state between sleep and being awake, is when your brain is the most activate and the most likely to think of higher ideas and ideologies.
As someone with panic disorder, this movie meant a lot to me and scared me in a way a lot of others can't. Thanks for making this video dive into mental illness in a way that didn't feel patronizing. Great stuff man
The first time I had a panic attack I thought is was gonna die but the keep on coming back and I got diagnosed with panic disorder and l m only 12 it really hard for me I hope you are good man and say inside
I noticed that when you first see the daughter, if you look in the mirror after she takes a shower she has cutting scars. Which means she's struggled with the same problems her mom had, she was just able to "beat" her depression unlike her mother.
The most disturbing part of Diana’s backstory is that her condition is all too real. It is called xeroderma pigmentosum, and anything like “heliotherapy” would actually be torturously painful to anyone with this genetic condition. It wouldn’t make them just disappear, but it could certainly cause them to die in agony, like being set on fire.
As a person diagnosed with major depressive disorder I can tell you this movie hit very close to home, I live with Diana everyday. Sunlight therapy helps but so does animal therapy, which I feel they missed in this really really close to reality movie, then again I'd hate to see what Diana would do to a doggo.
@@e6e6fa. I was diagnosed at 14, for me it is bouts of extreme depression. There are times that I am just "tired'. I dont get out of bed for days at other times I am full of energy and cant sleep overly hyperactive. I have been hospitalized twice once for a suicide attempt and the other for working 20 hrs a day 6 days a week for 9 weeks straight. MDD is different for everyone though. I have been in treatment for 26 yrs, it's on going and will never get any better for me but I take it one day at a time and learned coping skills that helps. If you feel sad to extreme frequently or think about harming yourself even if it's just frequent dreams of self harm seek help pls.
Diego Rojas Is there a way to change the comment to the old ways again? I hate having to click open the comment or skip it entirely then having to scroll back up.
I also thought that the first time I saw this movie, and I felt sorry for Diana(just like I did for the little girl in The Ring)because kids can't help how they're born or who they're born to? I of course am not condoning the bad things she did. I wish they'd make a sequel explaining more about Diana because for all we know, she might've lashed out at ppl due to how they treated her....we all know how nasty human beings can be. It's definitely not a secret how doctors back in the day were even more POS with how they experimented on patients, especially when they didn't need extensive intensive treatment.
I feel that this movie is the best way to describe depression, I found that when the little boy was saying that people don’t believe him about Diana, was kind of the connection into some people denying they have a mental illness and that it’s just them being sad so they refuse help
I feel like Diana is literally supposed to represent depression or mental illness as a hole. It's this scary thing that makes you feel vulnerable, afraid, anxious, stressed out, and crazy. And most times it always comes back when you're at your worst. It hurts other people too, not physically but more mentally and emotionally. Maybe the killing part she does is supposed to be like depression and insecurities or anxiety shutting you off from everyone in the world. And it disappears when you do aka when you die. This might be obvious but it's interesting
It was also said that Diana didn’t have parents like she came out of nowhere. Pretty much like depression it came out of nowhere and everyone started calming to have it when in reality it’s all in your head and how you live your life.

My favorite thing about Diana is that shes a very fair antagonist as far as supernatural villains in horror go. A very specific set of rules applies to her and she sticks to those rules even in circumstances where the plot in other movies would conveniently forget about her limitations. I really enjoyed that.
First time I have cried from an episode. Best one yet and thank you for going in depth with the metaphors, so many forget that horror isn't a "surface" genre. There is much more to them. Can't wait to see more content like this in the future. 🖤
I am legitimately considering showing this movie to my mother and telling her to think of Diana as depression She doesn't seem to understand that therapy is an on going process and that just because you feel good for a week it doesn't mean you don't need help anymore. I have panic disorder, depression, anxiety,b.e.d.,and I suspect I may have other mental illnesses. and I suspect I may have
I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, purely for the novelty of the scares. I never bothered to look deeper into the now seemingly obvious analogy to depression. As someone who has suffered from depression the majority of my life, your analysis made me interpret this film differently and appreciate it much more than I ever would have. All I can say is that I wish I had found your channel earlier because your content is some of the best on the platform.
This movie definitely hit home for me, as someone who deals with chronic depression and severe anxiety. I also really love the way you handled the connection between Diana and mental illness. It wasn’t patronizing or demonizing. Good job! 👌🏻
@Kelsee I suffer from one, too. I was able to watch it, but the ending is distressing. The movie resonated with me though. I am currently going through depression. (Sprung back due to Covid.)
I have bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. I used this movie as an example of what I sometimes deal with, so a friend of mine could understand. He said that if that's the day to day for a person suffering from mental illnesses, then he wants to help people to see the brighter side of life in anyway he can. He contacts me every day, and has for years now. He goes out his way to help. This movie is kinda responsible for his attitude now.
You forgot to add the resources in the description. Thank you for this vid. I struggle with chronic depression, this was very informative for not just people who deal with it directly, but also indirectly.
The original short is so much scarier than the movie. Maybe because I watched it when I was like 13 and the movie came out when I was older but the short scared the crap out of me as a kid.
I hope we all can appreciate, regardless of intentional or not, being able to make good horror content while picking a character that would allow you to encourage people to remember to stay connected and mentally healthy during oneof the most separating and mentally unhealthy times
Maybe more info on some of the parents? I'm curious about what all happened to Henry's mother, did Butch really kill her or did she run away? Maybe something about Vic & Belch's families too? Just a few things to think about. Stay safe out there.
@@sirenofthesea7802 The information from those videos come from the novel itself. There isn't a lot in there about any of those characters. King himself says he doesn't like notebooks so there would be none to draw from. The only thing would be to talk to King himself, if he even remembers. In horror, some things are just better left unknown.
@@williamerickson520 Damn. Fair point. I sorta hate myself for actually wanting her to be dead. Just the thought of her leaving Henry in that situation knowing what Butch will do to him just sends me into a small panic attack every now & again.
Me and my best friend watched the movie at the theaters when it was night time. After it was over we went outside and realized that his mom wouldn’t be there to pick us up till another 40 minutes. It was dark and we avoided any semblance of a dark spot due to our fear of Diana. We ran to Walmart.
Can you do a video on courage the cowardly Dog? I think it’s a very unique and intelligent show for kids, it showed us even though courage is Easley scared and is faced with terrifying supernatural threats he still faces what scares him to save his owners. Big one episode that shows this especially is the mask episode where courage even know he is scared of the masked girl you know it’s her friend bunny who is being tormented and held prisoner by her pimp boyfriend and gang. He goes out to look for when he sees what she’s been through through saves are at greater risk it was life is so short of courage is it’s being scared but doing the right thing anyway I think if more kids are raised with courage the cowardly dog they would know what bravery really is.
What if Diana didn’t die? She’s like a Marvel character. In the movie she could shadow hop, and even before her extreme light procedure had super strength (broke other people’s bones). When the Mulberry doctors did the extreme light therapy, and under intense stress just developed her powers. Diana’s powers would be shadow hopping, telepathy, super strength, cat claws, and scary face.
I may be stating the obvious but I noticed you didn’t mention it, the reason Diana doesn’t like sunlight as her “ghost” form could be related to her skin condition too where she couldn’t be in sunlight or light at all, please correct me if I’m wrong.
I think I loved this episode so much is because I suffer from depression and anxiety myself. All the ties he made to this mental illness were very well described and true for me. Seeking help from someone close is the best option but also the hardest. I went to my cousin first and she encouraged me to go to my mum and get professional help. I'm currently seeing a therapist and on medication for my depression to help me
What it means is that sometimes when someone commits suicide they think that they’re making the world a better place or that their relieving the pressure on their family and friends but it’s not actually helping at all. I think maybe in the moms mind everything worked out in the end but it didn’t
this horror movie was my freaking childhood memory I forget abt it, but then my cousins mentioned horror movie abt shadows like dianna, and then that's the moment when I remember her again:(
As a person diagnosed with major depressive disorder I can tell you this movie hit very close to home, I live with Diana everyday. Sunlight therapy helps but so does animal therapy, which I feel they missed in this really really close to reality movie, then again I'd hate to see what Diana would do to a doggo.
I feel like the reason Diana can't come to light Is because she had the disease/disorder that made her sensitive to light, as she never came to light she is still sensitive after turning to what she is, I don't think it's because of what u said but just my opinion...
one of the worst things about depression is feeling helpless because the people around you just don't understand or won't understand that something they can't see can be so powerful you would do anything to make it stop
as someone who struggles, and from family around getting upset that im struggling.. i just wanna say, you're not weak for going thru it. I've been called lazy, a whiner, etc but they dont understand and thats okay. hang in there
I saw the short when i was like 8 and it scared me so much! I decided that I wouldn’t see the movie until i realized that the monster from the short doesnt look like the one from the movie... before i watched it tho i decided to see the ending scene but when diana died i was confused about “how” so i watched this and it helped a lot! Thanks!
Gotta be real, sometimes that does feel like the only way to protect loved ones from being hurt by depression. But I've learned that there's no such thing as a stupid reason to keep going.
I’m actually depressed my girl dumped me cuz we never see each other even tho WERE LOCKED DOWN and now she’s dating a very rich guy :/ I really hate my life rn
If I'm not mistaken, Diana said that she would show Rebecca where she kept Rebecca's father. That implies Diana killed Rebecca's father, just like Martin's father.
My friends and I were watching this at their birthday and I was terrified already, but then it turns out my friends had put a creepy baby doll behind me and then two hours later I turned around and screamed so loud i woke up their neighbors
Technically most cases of depression can only be suppressed not cured, especially is bad enough, so Diana’s suppression could still be connected to depression
Bro i didnt even last 10 minties into this movie, got the literal shit scared out of me. That alone makes it a 10/10, no horror movie has done that to me in a LONG time
How did Diana manage to stay at the same facility after all the people she hurt there? Clearly they were under equipped to handle her case, wouldn't they have sent her to a detention centre for the criminally insane, or a version of that exists for kids? I know it was the 70's and all that, but damn didn't all the patients who got hurt raise any alarms? Didn't any of their guardians complain? At least isolate her or something...
A few years back I suffered a minor case of depression, not bad enough to be considered depression but I started a little coping mechanism just to get through the day. That coping unfortunately was to buy stuff and I ended up spending $1000 in a month on music, gaming stuff and movies. The reason I got into that situation was because I got into an argument with my mother and for that entire month she refused to even talk to me. It only ended when my dad came home for a few days and he managed to make things a little better. Things still aren’t completely okay since the thing that’ll help me most right now is to just move away from my mother’s reach since she’s gotten to the point of being mentally and emotionally abusive that I’m afraid she’s going to break me if I don’t leave.

I want CZsWorld to introduce himself one day as “the non-killer ghostface.”
I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, purely for the novelty of the scares. I never bothered to look deeper into the now seemingly obvious analogy to depression. As someone who has suffered from depression the majority of my life, your analysis made me interpret this film differently and appreciate it much more than I ever would have. All I can say is that I wish I had found your channel earlier because your content is some of the best on the platform.
This movie definitely hit home for me, as someone who deals with chronic depression and severe anxiety. I also really love the way you handled the connection between Diana and mental illness. It wasn’t patronizing or demonizing. Good job! 👌🏻
As some who does struggle with mental illness it would probably be a safe bet if I skip watch this movie
Kelsee same 😐
@Kelsee I suffer from one, too. I was able to watch it, but the ending is distressing. The movie resonated with me though. I am currently going through depression. (Sprung back due to Covid.)
My birth mother suffers from schizophrenia. I was adopted from Poland.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!! This day just got significantly better.
I have bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. I used this movie as an example of what I sometimes deal with, so a friend of mine could understand. He said that if that's the day to day for a person suffering from mental illnesses, then he wants to help people to see the brighter side of life in anyway he can. He contacts me every day, and has for years now. He goes out his way to help. This movie is kinda responsible for his attitude now.
What a great friend I have mental illness too and i have taking big steps being social again with great friens who supports me.
You forgot to add the resources in the description.
Thank you for this vid. I struggle with chronic depression, this was very informative for not just people who deal with it directly, but also indirectly.
A great breakdown as usual 😊 Yes, the sunlight helps with my depression 💯 & thank you for the links for those that need the help 💙
Have you done Horror history to Sinister!? I would love to see that.
The original short is so much scarier than the movie. Maybe because I watched it when I was like 13 and the movie came out when I was older but the short scared the crap out of me as a kid.
"Like a ginger on July" I felt that one because my cousin is ginger.
She smelled like copper tone all summer
Lol even tho I have dark brown hair, my skin is pale af from being Scottish and irish, and I burn all summer, every summer.
Yh
I hope we all can appreciate, regardless of intentional or not, being able to make good horror content while picking a character that would allow you to encourage people to remember to stay connected and mentally healthy during oneof the most separating and mentally unhealthy times
My friend was like: watch the trailer it made me scared of the dark for a few weeks.
Me: I WATCHED IT, it’s not scary like bruh
Her: your crazy
Lights out is so under appreciated.
Can you cover any more IT characters? If you think of any. Like so he can see plz
Like who?
Maybe more info on some of the parents? I'm curious about what all happened to Henry's mother, did Butch really kill her or did she run away? Maybe something about Vic & Belch's families too? Just a few things to think about. Stay safe out there.
And he went through all of the it characters
@@sirenofthesea7802 The information from those videos come from the novel itself. There isn't a lot in there about any of those characters. King himself says he doesn't like notebooks so there would be none to draw from. The only thing would be to talk to King himself, if he even remembers.
In horror, some things are just better left unknown.
@@williamerickson520 Damn. Fair point. I sorta hate myself for actually wanting her to be dead. Just the thought of her leaving Henry in that situation knowing what Butch will do to him just sends me into a small panic attack every now & again.
The phase 16 origin of Mr. Incredible becoming Uncanny.
That’s literally the only reason why I came here
@@eriao05 same
Pretty sure Esther is the person who played the main character when this was only a short film on TH-cam
Me and my best friend watched the movie at the theaters when it was night time. After it was over we went outside and realized that his mom wouldn’t be there to pick us up till another 40 minutes. It was dark and we avoided any semblance of a dark spot due to our fear of Diana. We ran to Walmart.
Can you do a video on courage the cowardly Dog? I think it’s a very unique and intelligent show for kids, it showed us even though courage is Easley scared and is faced with terrifying supernatural threats he still faces what scares him to save his owners. Big one episode that shows this especially is the mask episode where courage even know he is scared of the masked girl you know it’s her friend bunny who is being tormented and held prisoner by her pimp boyfriend and gang. He goes out to look for when he sees what she’s been through through saves are at greater risk it was life is so short of courage is it’s being scared but doing the right thing anyway I think if more kids are raised with courage the cowardly dog they would know what bravery really is.
The ending was so wholesome...
What if Diana didn’t die? She’s like a Marvel character. In the movie she could shadow hop, and even before her extreme light procedure had super strength (broke other people’s bones). When the Mulberry doctors did the extreme light therapy, and under intense stress just developed her powers. Diana’s powers would be shadow hopping, telepathy, super strength, cat claws, and scary face.
A excellent analysis of an often overlooked modern classic.
Ive watched this movie so many times, and to know the real story behind it is amazing. Keep up the good work!
As a ginger that July joke is very accurate. Well done well done.
Day walkers live!!!!!!!
I may be stating the obvious but I noticed you didn’t mention it, the reason Diana doesn’t like sunlight as her “ghost” form could be related to her skin condition too where she couldn’t be in sunlight or light at all, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Does anyone agree he should do “the strain?” That’s is one of my fav tv shows
Hits too close to home now!
CZsWorld plz
I think I loved this episode so much is because I suffer from depression and anxiety myself. All the ties he made to this mental illness were very well described and true for me. Seeking help from someone close is the best option but also the hardest. I went to my cousin first and she encouraged me to go to my mum and get professional help. I'm currently seeing a therapist and on medication for my depression to help me
Diana also gives me possessive vibes and her relationship with Sophie gives me mutual codependency vibes as well
I hate that the moral of the story seems to be overcome depression with suicide to protect the people you love
What it means is that sometimes when someone commits suicide they think that they’re making the world a better place or that their relieving the pressure on their family and friends but it’s not actually helping at all. I think maybe in the moms mind everything worked out in the end but it didn’t
@@jennamichie7245 which would be fine if they made it clear that the “mom” in any story like this is WRONG. sometimes they don’t make that clear.
I think it's more a message about how far too many cases of depression end this way
I think the faces of horror in the 2010's are both Diana Walter and Pennywise the dancing Clown
i think another reason diana is “powerless” when the lights are on is because of her skin condition that she had when shes alive
this horror movie was my freaking childhood memory I forget abt it, but then my cousins mentioned horror movie abt shadows like dianna, and then that's the moment when I remember her again:(
As a person diagnosed with major depressive disorder I can tell you this movie hit very close to home, I live with Diana everyday. Sunlight therapy helps but so does animal therapy, which I feel they missed in this really really close to reality movie, then again I'd hate to see what Diana would do to a doggo.
I really appreciate him talking about the less known problems of this year. And also how he was able make it interesting using Lights Out
This movie has been the most successful in scaring the shit out of me when im alone
I feel like the reason Diana can't come to light Is because she had the disease/disorder that made her sensitive to light, as she never came to light she is still sensitive after turning to what she is, I don't think it's because of what u said but just my opinion...
one of the worst things about depression is feeling helpless because the people around you just don't understand or won't understand that something they can't see can be so powerful you would do anything to make it stop
so the best way to fight diana is to have one of those $100 lightsaber
I’d love to see a Horror History of the cursed mirror in the film “Oculus”! Love your videos! 🤗
as someone who struggles, and from family around getting upset that im struggling.. i just wanna say, you're not weak for going thru it. I've been called lazy, a whiner, etc but they dont understand and thats okay. hang in there
I saw the short when i was like 8 and it scared me so much! I decided that I wouldn’t see the movie until i realized that the monster from the short doesnt look like the one from the movie... before i watched it tho i decided to see the ending scene but when diana died i was confused about “how” so i watched this and it helped a lot! Thanks!
Gotta be real, sometimes that does feel like the only way to protect loved ones from being hurt by depression.
But I've learned that there's no such thing as a stupid reason to keep going.
I’m actually depressed my girl dumped me cuz we never see each other even tho WERE LOCKED DOWN and now she’s dating a very rich guy :/ I really hate my life rn
I'm here man 😣✌
It's ok my guy, she was a gold digger
this movie is based on a 5 minutes shirt film that scared me shitless when i was 14
If I'm not mistaken, Diana said that she would show Rebecca where she kept Rebecca's father. That implies Diana killed Rebecca's father, just like Martin's father.
My friends and I were watching this at their birthday and I was terrified already, but then it turns out my friends had put a creepy baby doll behind me and then two hours later I turned around and screamed so loud i woke up their neighbors
Technically most cases of depression can only be suppressed not cured, especially is bad enough, so Diana’s suppression could still be connected to depression
This actually made me cry. To have someone understand what it’s like makes me feel less alone and so relieved. Thank you so much.
Light: Exists
Diana: ...and I took that personally.
His voice became one of my favorite voices here in yt
This is a great movie I thought... Diana was creepy AF and it really did unnerve me more than most scary movies now a days which are lame jump scares
Bro i didnt even last 10 minties into this movie, got the literal shit scared out of me. That alone makes it a 10/10, no horror movie has done that to me in a LONG time
How did Diana manage to stay at the same facility after all the people she hurt there? Clearly they were under equipped to handle her case, wouldn't they have sent her to a detention centre for the criminally insane, or a version of that exists for kids? I know it was the 70's and all that, but damn didn't all the patients who got hurt raise any alarms? Didn't any of their guardians complain? At least isolate her or something...
A few years back I suffered a minor case of depression, not bad enough to be considered depression but I started a little coping mechanism just to get through the day. That coping unfortunately was to buy stuff and I ended up spending $1000 in a month on music, gaming stuff and movies.
The reason I got into that situation was because I got into an argument with my mother and for that entire month she refused to even talk to me. It only ended when my dad came home for a few days and he managed to make things a little better. Things still aren’t completely okay since the thing that’ll help me most right now is to just move away from my mother’s reach since she’s gotten to the point of being mentally and emotionally abusive that I’m afraid she’s going to break me if I don’t leave.
Okay, who asked?
@@gothiqz3363 bro stfu, this whole video is literally talking about how the movie's villain is an allegory for depression and this guy is just commenting about their experience. Nobody has to "ask" in order for someone to share an experience of theirs. It's freedom of speech, and this is a public comment section. Don't try to bring people down for opening up about their lives.
I'm glad that you were able to feel better! It was probably the right decision to move away or else things might get worse for you
