My mother has dementia. It terrifies me. I don't want her to lose herself. It's such a cruel trick of fate, to live a life so long that eventually all you have is your memories, only for those to be stripped away as well. Being left all alone, without even your own cognitive mind to comfort you at night.
Yeah... My Grandfather had it he had such a hard time remembering stories an his old jokes.... When he forgot what he was gonna say he'd get Soo angry then start crying I'd take a seat beside his bed an just tell him stories... Cause after 31 yrs of him raising me..... It was my turn to tell the stories.... God how I miss him. RIP Grandpa! Love you!
@@drople6050 oh yeah always! He's a war vet he fought in the Korean War... He used to tell me stories about his time over there... They had a boxing ring set-up over there for the troop to let off sum steam... He whooped the tar out of 10 guys in his first month being there! Even a few Golden glove boxers... Like that's awesome!!!
I take care of my grandma and this movie hit home. She just used to be the sharpest, healthiest person, even a little mean, so it's weird to watch her decline. But everyone else in my family has started treating her like a burden or a Child. She wants to stay in and die in her own home, though, and that's something I can really understand, so I'll keep taking care of her if it means my aunt doesn't force her to leave.
Always keep them at home my grandma hit 90 this year she is very sharp but had a stroke 1 year ago. She constantly reads. We have always kept her in a environment she was comfortable with retirement homes destroy people.
William Vallespir in Australia, some of them are really good. My mum works in one and took me once when i was a kid, the oldies seemed so happy. But there’s definitely bad ones.
Try playing your grandma’s favourite music for her if she seems lost. In the last 6 months of my grandma’s dementia before she died I found playing music would make her the most lucid I’d seen in a long time. At this point she couldn’t recognise me, her daughter, probably not even my grandad, but when I played her favourite music she would be singing all the words and you could see the light in her eyes again
William Vallespir Before my great grandfather passed, he and my great grandmother were in a home(idk what kind) and the apartment/room was *infested* with bed bugs. They had to get rid of 75% of their positions and the home was forced to get them new furniture and stuff like that.
My father had dementia the last few years of his life. The funniest and sweetest guy turned into someone who I was so scared of. Once he woke up in the middle of the night, came in my room while I was sleeping and started to hit me. He thought I broke into the house and was a burglar. His last 3 or 4 months he was the most angry and confused he’d ever been. He was so violent to me I had to put him into a nursing home / hospital. Being a caregiver for him was so tiring and depressing seeing his mental well-being descend so fast. At times it felt like a demon took over my dad, it wasn’t him. Truly horrific
Sometimes the best and safest thing for everyone is to put loved ones in the care of experts with training in looking after them. It sounds like it was a really hard choice and I'm sorry for your loss.
In scared of that happening to me because my mom's cousin says that she will kill me and that somebody will whenever I try to get her to do things to help herself. She pulls knives on people and tried to with me when I was saying get out of the kitchen she's not allowed in there anymore. I was able to pop it out of her hand with a belt saving my life cuz she hit me in the head breaking my glasses it's been 6 months without them. Before that she had got a skillet I told her many times to put it back then I told her to give it to me so I can put it away she grabbed me and wouldn't let go looking evil I had to hit her then she back handed me with the skillet putting a hole in my lip then say she didn't do anything. It hurts that my mom still won't put her in the nursing home.
@@kelviannaepperson3677 oh my gosh. Being a caretaker is so beyond exhausting mentally and physically. You’ve had your fair share of scary experiences. My dad thankfully never pulled out a knife or anything to hurt me, he’d just hit me. I understand your mom though, it’s so hard putting a loved one into a nursing home. I tore myself up after putting my dad into a nursing home because I felt like I had failed him. Those nurses had cared for him better than I ever could’ve, so I know I made the right choice. I visited him twice a day up until his passing. It seems like putting her into a nursing home would be the best for you and your mother. I’ll be keeping you all in my prayers, I know this isn’t an easy time. Hope you had a good Christmas and have a good new year :)
I worked in the dementia unit of a psych hospital. We got the cases that were too difficult for the nursing homes to handle. One day after visitation, I was leading a family out of the unit, and they asked why their father was in restraints. I told them a partial truth, that he had attempted to assault another resident. The actual truth was that he had attempted to sexually assault another resident, but I obviously wasn't going to tell them that. They were shocked and said that couldn't possibly be true, because their father would never hurt anybody. I told them that I believed them that he wouldn't have before the illness, but that the tragedy of his dementia was that it changes people, and makes them do things they would have never done. Some of them were still in denial, but most of them seemed to accept this answer.
My mom has early onset dementia.. She’s only 56. This movie was actually really sad because it shows exactly how you sometimes view your own loved one who you used to recognize. It can be terrifying. Sometimes she screams and gets violent, other times she’s loving and sweet. The ending showing the hopelessness of the situation is what really hit home for me... Knowing one day I too could be what my mom is to me, to someone else.
I may be a random person on the internet but I have no doubt in my heart, that you love your mother and that your mother loves you. I’m sorry to hear about that
@Content Corrector Yes I know how this can turn,my siblings couldnt get rid of mum,quicklly enough,it broke my heart,she had nursed others for 30yrs,when she needed help,no one wanted to know,it has affected me so much,yet they left me to deal with it ,as they are well off.You should be proud of yourself ,for caring ,too many dont ,peace to you.
MrGoat Man I really appreciate the kind words. It doesn’t matter if they come from the internet the fact that you took the time to say something is extremely appreciated. Thank you again
Content Corrector your comment didn’t make me cry there’s just a leak from ceiling.. What you said is true. So many people are so quick to put them into a home and they go downhill faster from there. It’s usually not out of spite but because people don’t know how to handle it. Seeing a person you used to know who you love and respect and was one of the smartest people you’ve ever met turn into a full grown toddler is humbling and terrifying. People panic and I can’t blame them. I really appreciate the prayers and the comment... thank you!!!
my grandpa had dementia. he would go to the door in the middle of the night and yell into the dark hello and come in. and when we asked him who he was talking to he said his friend was out there. he then would threaten to call his dad on me who was a cop when i wouldnt let him yell into the dark anymore.... a 90 yr old man threatening to call his dad on me
There is something important that is missed here. The supernatural entity is her great-grandfather, whose presence has been brought in by the "relic" of the installed window from his former log cabin. As he aged he was not properly taken care of by Edna, and so slowly takes possession of her as her mind deteriorates, letting him in. When what has been left of Edna has been replaced by the ghost of her grandfather, it seeks to attack the Mother and daughter, easily being put down by her frailty. However, instead of leaving Edna alone to die like her grandfather, the mother stays and to take care of her, and finds that what was under her skin was in fact the great-grandfather. She proceeds to peel away Edna's shell, and comforts the ghost of her great grandfather, who did not know such comfort in his own dying day.
@Mandi Pudding it’s probably a 2 way meaning. Depends on what the viewers want it to be. I know it is about dementia. The deterioration of the mind and body but still why is the house winding and changing like a maze? Can somebody explain that part? It happened to the grand daughter so that shouldn’t be a dementia.
@Mandi Pudding if you like movies like this I suggest the visit. It has a similar plot but some twist to it. I just watched it last night and it was all kinds of scary, creepy, f’d up and sometimes funny. It’s directed by m knight shayamalan. I recommend it.
Dude just leave the explaining to foundflix instead of playing smart and not being clever if you knew all that why come here pretentious much..just shut up and listen to the person who knows.
@@DensilGrant I am free to comment, that's why the comment section exists. I'm sorry my free speech offended you. However, I'm not sorry I made a comment on what I think. My advise is for you think for yourself.
Yeah. A lot of people said they didn't like the movie because they didn't get the metaphors, and they didn't get what the film was trying to say which is sad because this movie is so good and so emotional, and it sucks that most people don't get it.
"A body that has outlasted the existence of the personality; that is far, far more horrifying than any spook or ghoul that you could ever hope to glimpse, believe me. "
@The Pornographer Didn't read it, I watched it. It was a 2010 BBC adaptation of "Whistle and I'll Come to you" by M.R. James. Worth watching if you get the chance.
@akshay satish People have forgotten what horror is supposed to be. Doing the cinematic equivalent of jumping out of a cupboard and shouting "boo" does not make a horror film.
@@midnightmosesuk It makes my horror film. What's scary about old people being old people? This is the natural progression of life and anyone scared of it needs to grow up and face reality.
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 Old people being old doesn't worry me. I'm not that young myself. I'm talking about the death of personality. Your memories fade, your personality fragments and everything that made you a person rots away. All that's left is a hollow shell with just shreds of you left behind. How can "growing up" bring you to terms with that? I think you are the one that is out of touch with reality.
I went through two different types of dementia with both my maternal grandparents. It doesn't get easier. Best way to cope is to find people who are willing to listen and try to forgive yourself for any misunderstandings or mistakes. If you can, tell your grandparent you love them as often as is comfortable. It's rough, but both myself and my mom were grateful that we were there in the end.
This hit me. When my grandma passed away, she had severe dementia. She could barely even speak a word, just grunts and groans. It's so scary to see someone you love forget you. Edit: thank you all for the kind comments 💕
Both of my grandparents had dementia watching them over the years geting worse and worse until they passed shit was real hard, they are in peace now. My condolences to you and your family.
At nine minutes in, almost teary. Almost. At 20:43 the tears are very, very real. My mom's side of the family consists of a lot of stubborn idealists that all agree that one must die with their boots on and therefore will not waste their money on a nursing home. So, grandmas 90 and still kicking. Had to help out taking care of grandma since elementary school and it definitely gets more difficult as the patient's condition worsens. Sticking to your ideals in this way is difficult unless you have friends and family to support you. I flew back from uni this past winter to help out with grandma while my parents settled into their new office. I've gotten better at speaking my grandmother's native languages while away, and it's made taking care of her a bit more fun. Even though she can't remember me anymore, she's chill and acts like it's her birthday whenever you remind her of your identity, how old she is, how many grandbrats she's got. Our youngest dog established itself as grandma's therapy dog and footwarmer on the first day they met (We have a maltipoo mini and a blue heeler and they both use grandma as an excuse to sleep on the couch and on my bed). My family's lucky that grandma stopped denying her condition, accepted and prepared herself for being a disoriented time traveler aka dementia patient (all she did was right tons and tons of letters to anyone and some with no recipient). She said goodbye while she was still herself. But sometimes her wit and sharp tongue returns and catches us off guard, or she's got this look in her eye that makes it seem like we just got played. I want covid to end so she can laugh while watching me get my ass beat playing games. (She really like BOTW and DkS1) Hell, this old lady might outlive me
Yeah the real horror is watching your parent deal with their parent's dementia and knowing you can't help them. The horror of understanding that your parent is likely to have dementia, you yourself could have it, and the cycle will continue because there's no cure. The horror of realizing your child will have to deal with you, too...
Just because there isn't a cure now, doesn't mean there never will be. Never assume that what took your grandparents will also take you cause in the time between then and now we make leaps forward in medical aid, who knows maybe being sick won't even be in fashion anymore by then
Macgaming-the incredible fast learning gamer True, they know that is it caused by a abnormal build up of proteins in/on the brain like plaque on teeth. They are researching how to prevent that from happening. The old place I used to work would donate proceeds to a charity that funds some of the research.
The locked in the closet part scared the everliving shit out of me cuz of how close it hit for me. My great grandfather had severe dementia and in the first stages of it he hid me and my sister in the basement thinking we were trespassing into his home. After what it felt like several hours one of my aunts came home and found us there and called our parents to pick us up. I never went back nor were we allowed to go see my great grandfather after that. Ever since that experience, I’ve been afraid of dark, enclosed spaces l
My grandfather went through it. It was horrible, but the worst, the absolute worst, was the rare moments of lucidity where I could see he knew how much he had lost. Those broke my soul.
At the end of this video, I'm in floods of tears, those last few scenes are so powerful to me as my nan had Dementia for 6-7 years before she passed away in 2013. As an only child and her being a widow, she was my best friend, I have so many lovely memories of her growing up. But she grew to forget everything and everyone around her by my early-mid-teens. It was literally like looking in the mirror at that ending, that my kind, beautiful nan had become someone so unrecognisable-more like a husk of the person she once was, yet I couldn't help but still love regardless of how much anguish her distance and lack of acknowledgement caused me. My heart has been broken since she passed and while time has healed some pain, there's not a day that goes by where I don't miss her. More films like this need to be made, to make others aware of this horrible illness and perhaps teach ways to accept/find help in these situations.
The only similarity is the dementia element. Deborah Logan was a well paced, well written story that actually had an explanation. This one was a long, dry metaphorical bore.
This really hit home for me. My Grandma suffered from Dementia as time went by she slipped away from being this bubbly sweet and loving lady it wasn't all it once, it look a few year but it was like she was becoming hollow, the film's portrayal of the transitions of dementia is absolutely horrifying and breath taking, for the last month's of my grandma's life we visited her often, my father was there everyday to look after her and just be with her, it got hard for him as time went on as my Grandma started to forget who he was. She would say that he was her husband or her neighbor, and when it got really bad my dad would stop trying to correct her. I've never seen my dad so emotional as the time he tucked her into bed and my Grandma said "promise you won't leave me Lesley (my dad's dad, he passed way from cancer about 19 years prior) I don't know what I'd do without you" he promised he never ever would leave her and after he left the room he broke down in tears, it was only for about 15 seconds but I will never forget how much my heart hurt seeing my dad in so much pain. Fuck dementia.
This is so sad... I had a great grandparent pass away with dementia and it can feel this dark sometimes. He was always himself though. He never forgot me and I’ll always be so thankful for that.
Stage 1- the first signs Stage 2- awareness Stage 3- the last of the memories Stage 4- pre confusion and horror Stage 5- confusion repetition and horror Stage 6-
You forgot when Kay came downstairs during the night and sees Edna talking to herself while the shadow person stands right behind her. It was creepy af.
@@mrsx7944 I think it was just a metaphor for old memories getting twisted. But someone else speculated it was her grandfather who died alone at the start. He wanted love and affection he didn't get in life.
we saw "the rental" and "relic" at the drive in last weekend, my whole family was confused by this one but I found it fascinating, although most of the horror was lost in the nachos
I've been watching your channel for years. There are many "movie recap" youtube channels, but youre is clearly just one of the best. One thing I like in particular is how you use the still images while you're telling the story. Its obvious you put in thought to what will best compliment the narrative.
At first I thougt its really not her mom, its probably a skin wearing creature but then at the end No, she is her mom And its no Creature or Alien, its just the cycle of life
Ye but why did she turn into that thing. I don't understand was she possessed?? Like that is not the life cycle of a human loose all ur skin an turn into E.T.
“You are loved”. My grandfather writes notes and labels everything as his memory is starting to escape him. I would be in agony if he had to be reminded of how much my family viscously loves him.
My great grandma struggled with *Alzheimer’s* It was a Long and terrifying process. But mostly just sad. She used to love me. But when she Devolved she didn’t know my name no more. She only knew simple names like my brother. She was angry. And she was bitter.But she had those funny moments. Those break of characters.... Those are the moments I remember. Fondly... After I moved from New York. SHe ended up passing away in an old folks home. Saddest part is.. She had signs of abuse It eats at me every day. Knowing the unknown. Was she getting up and falling. And injuring herself Or did a nurse hit her out of frustration I know things are better now. Because she’s no longer here. But just thinking of anyone else I love and care for going through that. It’s horrible I wouldn’t wish on my Enemies. This movie was simply *Beautiful*
FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING THE Differences from *Alzheimer* and *dementia* From what I gathered. They are similar. But all Alzheimer’s is the more dramatic lethal and evasive While dementia is longer lasting. And doesn’t always result in Complete memory loss. Depending on which part of dementia is taking a hold of the brain. Some people can even remember far in the past.
mark molina I am confident that one day we will solve this disease. And know how to help people better. There has been great developments on this disease. I suggest anyone to donate. And if not, Get educated on it. So we can help others and understand better. I heard eating healthy. And limiting sugars is a great way to Lower your chances. Being that a certain proteins that damages The brain through this disease . is associated with sugars. But Just enjoying your life. And living through it with no regrets. Is a good way to secure your happiness and others. In Every part of your life. The beginning middle and end
My grandmother and a great aunt had dementia. It’s a very very slow forgetting. And yes both of them could remember when they were young. But then would forget that people had died or what year it was. They would also confuse people and forget names.
Lizzie Bee Yes it’s very sad. But it’s good to talk about it. Thank you so much for telling us This sensitive part of your past. Just know Everyone will experience and has experience losing a loved one. One way or the other. But You sharing this. Shows us That You’ve been through the grieving process. That even though you Can’t forget. you accept that. And that takes a really strong person to go through a hard journey like that
This brings back awful memories my grandmother went through a very similar decline after a stroke it was terrifying. I was eleven at the time and we moved in to help take care of her.
My mom works as a nurse in an asylum for Alzheimer's patients and she always tells me that the most heartbreaking moment is when the patients have some moment of lucidity and realize they are in an asylum because most of them were proffesors, detectives, doctors or engineers and never thought for a second they would end up there. Also, there are tons of social cases which means they were abandoned by their family or brought in by some neighbour or police officer.
Did not expect a symbolic journey into losing a loved one to dementia or Alzheimers. Having gone through this with my grandfather, it was painful enough just to watch this synopsis so I'm not sure if I could handle watching this movie. That part about shedding the illusion of grandma to reveal the stranger underneath...that one hurt. The truth there hurt. A lot.
Before I saw this upload last night I had a dream about MY nana declining mentally and turning violent against me and my mother despite my nana passing years ago. The dream was very vivid and frightening. I didn't know this was today's upload or what the movie was even about. It was the first thing to pop up in my reccomended feed this morning. Seeing it now is very similar to my dream with my nana last night despite never seeing this movie. Just strange wouldn't you say? I got the chills.
I help both my parents currently. They are still competent but my mom broke her hip and they both forget things. It's scary and even scarier to think about losing them.
My grandma had dementia and it really is like they are a different person. It’s scary, but I still stepped in with my mom to take care of her. Thankfully she didn’t deteriorate like this, but on a mental level I can totally relate to this movie
A great album about the stages of dementia is “everywhere at the end of time” it simulates the stages of dimentia with instrumental old music and is definitely worth a listen Definitely a sad and scary experience
I'm easily frightened AND overly emotional so I'm watching this so I'm prepared when I go to watch the full film. My grandmother died of dementia/Alzheimer's and the experience was so sad that I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to watch this one but I've heard such fabulous things about it.
Out of all the horror films that I’ve enjoyed watching over the years the ones that are somehow rooted in reality scare me the most. Awesome critique!!!
I was about to leave my grandma alone to work in the city, after seeing the note "I am loved" I started crying and it hits me hard. I love my grandma and im reconsidering to stay. She's all i have. I love you grandma
This is a movie Id like to see but it might hit to close to home. I always watch horror movies with my mother and just last year the state place her mother/ my grandmother into a nursing home. It was after years of trying to find the best option for her without belittling her wishes. She didn't want to leave her house that was decaying from burst frozen pipes and various plumbing issues.
My father had dementia just before he passed. I can finish this review like I want too. This is making me remember how troubled my dad was at the end of his life.
Thanks FF. I feel his movie somes up how dementia eats away at you and can be truely heartbreaking. My mom had dementia and the last 2 years were very hard. I actually quit my job to look after her as I was the one person she remembered the most (being the oldest). She past away last November from a stroke.
I only just watched this last night and enjoyed it greatly. While not classically "horror", it certainly is creepy with some great skin crawling moments and a touch of body horror. Also, it's pronounced "Melbun", not "Melborn"... if there's a lazy way to say a word, us Aussies will take it!
Wow I didn't see the movie and just watching the ending of it through your video made me cry. None of your other videos have had that impact for me. This story is powerful. Something we all have to face in one way or another.
That ain't dementia, that's my neighbor Rayray. He's always doing stuff like that. He called that ladys daughter and said she was missing. After he replaced the note reminding her to take her pills with a note reminding her to write a note...you know dementia suff.
After losing my grandpa/father figure to dementia, this movie hit hard. He fought for 8 years. It’s been 7 years since he left us. I still miss him more than anything, but find comfort in knowing he’s not suffering any longer.
Existential horror is the kind that sticks with me the longest after. This film almost made me burst into tears, which isn’t usually a reaction I experience with horror movies. Dementia doesn’t run in my family, but I’ve seen people suffering from it and it haunted me to see. Kay realizing only too late how much her mother needed her made me go straight to my mom to give her a hug after this movie ended. Truly a well-written and well-conceptualized film. Thanks for covering it!
Reminds me of the short story “The yellow wallpaper” the way the decaying of the walls mirror the character’s mental state decaying. Literally right out of “The yellow wallpaper”.
I worked in Alzheimer's facilities for years, & this is a very creepy, but still mostly accurate portrayal of what people & their families go through when someone has dementia.
Honestly subscribing to this channel was one of the best subs I could give. I’ve seen so many annoying breakdown hosts that go over the top. But not this one. Keep up the great work man
With my grandma having had dementia and her have been in the last stage before dying, the movie hits on a more personal level. Seeing a loved one changing due to dementia is horrible and sad as well as hard to accept.
My grandpa had alzheimers and was getting bad when he passed away. It's hard to see someone's personality disappear and just become a shell of the person they use to be. But I am thankful for having the expertise, he is the reason that I became a nurse
My grandfather suffered from dementia until he passed. It's one of the most heartbreaking things you could ever experience. Especially when you've grown up really close to that family member. The only thing that brought us comfort was that even though he couldn't remember us, he was still a kind sweetheart
Oh gosh, so glad I saw this and not the actual movie, cried my eyes out at that last scene. Just hearing your description and the pictures, it still hit me, the whole message and scene. :(
I thought it was a horror movie I was getting but in reality I’m getting a metaphor for the cycles of living and how you can’t outrun the inevitable in life that’s gonna happen to all of us. It’s okay to be scared of losing someone you love so much. But don’t that person feel alone on the ride be by their side. It’s a beautiful yet tragic movie about the fear of loss.
This is super unsettling. I never had grandparents in my life until my husband. Both my husband's grandmothers, who are absolutely amazing people, suffered horridly at the end due to mental state. It hurts to lose someone you've only known for a few years, much less your whole life. I just wish I could have helped.
My great-aunt developed dementia. She would call me to come help her because of the little man who keeps coming out of her vent. I thought maybe a maintenance man had come to check on her apartment. But one time, she froze and pointed towards the bathroom asking me if I saw him crouching above her mirror near the ceiling. It was a horrific moment both because I thought someone/thing was there and the realization we were seeing different things now. On a funnier note, she kept telling me that I was a sweet girl, but I needed to leave [my husband] alone because he's married to a nice girl and they have children. She was one of the first people to hold me when I was born, and she was a beautiful, intelligent, and funny woman throughout my life of loving her.
This hits home pretty hard. My Tia(aunt) had early Alzheimers disease and died at 53. I never fully experienced it with my Tia and I barely remember her because I was so young. My grandma (her mother) currently has dementia and its getting worse. She still remembers me but will forget what she said or repeat stories over and over again. Its hard to see her go through this. It hurts to think that she will be gone soon, I love her so much.
4:13 got my brightness cranked up to max at 1080p and I can see folds in the nose area, so it's way more likely just a piece of clothing that was tucked away at the back.
Gods, this movie is so much like The Babadook that I'm surprised it's the person's debut movie...And DAMN it affected me so hard. I had to pause several times to cry while watching it. My mother's mother suffered dementia before she died...Having to watch her mind slowly waste away, forgetting everything and everyone she loved...The GOOD days were the worst. When she REMEMBERED what she was slowly forgetting, and SAW how much it hurt us to watch it happen...
is it just me or is chris looking mighty fine this video? i mean he’s been super attractive in previous episodes but something about today just makes me feel all warm
My partners maternal grandfather had Alzheimer’s and every time his mother begins to forget things I start to worry. This hit my heart and I def got a big choked up when seeing that last part.
Wow. This movie ♡ We brought my dad home after being ventilated 3 times in the ICU & it was like bringing home someone in the thick of dementia. He had a terrible case of ICU delirium (I can't believe doctors don't talk about this! We had to research everything on our own & that made the experience that much more harrowing) & suffered really intense paranoid delusions. Every day was a battle because he thought we were poisoning him, or we were robots or demons, etc. He'd hide his pills pretending to swallow them. He'd wrestle freshly cooked food from my hands & throw it on the floor. Changing his diaper was a nightmare. *sigh* It was the hardest few weeks of my life & I have a whole new found respect & compassion for families dealing with this. Thank God his mind came back. He's still not 100% there like he was before but I just pray every day he gets better. I'm terrified it might come back in his later years & I just hope to God I'm financially in a much better place to care for him if it does. My heart goes out to all who are suffering ♡♡
Watching my mother deal with her the best way to take care of her father when the Alzheimers worsened was so rough. He was such a brilliant, bright, inventive and just magnificent person. Very ADHD and impulsive which left some disconnect between him and my mother (He might not have been the most reliable dad, but he was the BEST Grandpa, you know?) and seeing him be sort of... trapped in his own mind and body as he slowly got worse... it was a relief when he finally passed, like he could be free, but holy cow, do I miss the man I hardly got to know. And it worries me because it affected my father's parents too but he has loads of siblings that are closer to them, and my mother was my grandpa's only child. I know this is going to affect me at some point, and I dread how it will affect my parents, but it just feels like an inevitability. My Grandpa survived SO MUCH STUFF and this sort of Alzheimer's/dementia is just genetic timebomb. If something else doesn't kill you before it happens, _This will._ I can't really say I have the wisdom to know how/when I want to die, but wow, I hope it doesn't have to be like this.

My mother has dementia. It terrifies me. I don't want her to lose herself. It's such a cruel trick of fate, to live a life so long that eventually all you have is your memories, only for those to be stripped away as well. Being left all alone, without even your own cognitive mind to comfort you at night.
Big hug. I'm dealing with it first hand caring for my Nan. But I'd go to pieces if it was my mother. Sending you love. 💜
Yeah... My Grandfather had it he had such a hard time remembering stories an his old jokes.... When he forgot what he was gonna say he'd get Soo angry then start crying I'd take a seat beside his bed an just tell him stories... Cause after 31 yrs of him raising me..... It was my turn to tell the stories.... God how I miss him. RIP Grandpa! Love you!
Sending prayers your way. It's hard to go thru with loved ones that have it.
@@tormentedslayer7498 your grandpa seemed amazing! Im sorry for your loss but you love him in your heart even if you're dead
@@drople6050 oh yeah always! He's a war vet he fought in the Korean War... He used to tell me stories about his time over there... They had a boxing ring set-up over there for the troop to let off sum steam... He whooped the tar out of 10 guys in his first month being there! Even a few Golden glove boxers... Like that's awesome!!!
The ‘I Am Loved’ note threw me for a loop- I genuinely sobbed through the ending
Never had a horror movie make me cry before.
ugh, that kicked me right in the feels
I take care of my grandma and this movie hit home. She just used to be the sharpest, healthiest person, even a little mean, so it's weird to watch her decline. But everyone else in my family has started treating her like a burden or a Child. She wants to stay in and die in her own home, though, and that's something I can really understand, so I'll keep taking care of her if it means my aunt doesn't force her to leave.
Always keep them at home my grandma hit 90 this year she is very sharp but had a stroke 1 year ago. She constantly reads. We have always kept her in a environment she was comfortable with retirement homes destroy people.
William Vallespir in Australia, some of them are really good. My mum works in one and took me once when i was a kid, the oldies seemed so happy. But there’s definitely bad ones.
Try playing your grandma’s favourite music for her if she seems lost. In the last 6 months of my grandma’s dementia before she died I found playing music would make her the most lucid I’d seen in a long time. At this point she couldn’t recognise me, her daughter, probably not even my grandad, but when I played her favourite music she would be singing all the words and you could see the light in her eyes again
William Vallespir Before my great grandfather passed, he and my great grandmother were in a home(idk what kind) and the apartment/room was *infested* with bed bugs. They had to get rid of 75% of their positions and the home was forced to get them new furniture and stuff like that.
No one care about your grandma
My father had dementia the last few years of his life. The funniest and sweetest guy turned into someone who I was so scared of. Once he woke up in the middle of the night, came in my room while I was sleeping and started to hit me. He thought I broke into the house and was a burglar. His last 3 or 4 months he was the most angry and confused he’d ever been. He was so violent to me I had to put him into a nursing home / hospital. Being a caregiver for him was so tiring and depressing seeing his mental well-being descend so fast. At times it felt like a demon took over my dad, it wasn’t him. Truly horrific
Sometimes the best and safest thing for everyone is to put loved ones in the care of experts with training in looking after them. It sounds like it was a really hard choice and I'm sorry for your loss.
In scared of that happening to me because my mom's cousin says that she will kill me and that somebody will whenever I try to get her to do things to help herself. She pulls knives on people and tried to with me when I was saying get out of the kitchen she's not allowed in there anymore. I was able to pop it out of her hand with a belt saving my life cuz she hit me in the head breaking my glasses it's been 6 months without them. Before that she had got a skillet I told her many times to put it back then I told her to give it to me so I can put it away she grabbed me and wouldn't let go looking evil I had to hit her then she back handed me with the skillet putting a hole in my lip then say she didn't do anything. It hurts that my mom still won't put her in the nursing home.
@@kelviannaepperson3677 oh my gosh. Being a caretaker is so beyond exhausting mentally and physically. You’ve had your fair share of scary experiences. My dad thankfully never pulled out a knife or anything to hurt me, he’d just hit me. I understand your mom though, it’s so hard putting a loved one into a nursing home. I tore myself up after putting my dad into a nursing home because I felt like I had failed him. Those nurses had cared for him better than I ever could’ve, so I know I made the right choice. I visited him twice a day up until his passing. It seems like putting her into a nursing home would be the best for you and your mother. I’ll be keeping you all in my prayers, I know this isn’t an easy time. Hope you had a good Christmas and have a good new year :)
@@tatum5747 thanks for understanding Merry Christmas!!
I worked in the dementia unit of a psych hospital. We got the cases that were too difficult for the nursing homes to handle. One day after visitation, I was leading a family out of the unit, and they asked why their father was in restraints. I told them a partial truth, that he had attempted to assault another resident. The actual truth was that he had attempted to sexually assault another resident, but I obviously wasn't going to tell them that. They were shocked and said that couldn't possibly be true, because their father would never hurt anybody. I told them that I believed them that he wouldn't have before the illness, but that the tragedy of his dementia was that it changes people, and makes them do things they would have never done. Some of them were still in denial, but most of them seemed to accept this answer.
I came here for the scare.
Not for the feels. :(
Ayaya 0 replies so hey
Hey
It couldn't have ended better, though that supernatural house maze was pretty awesome.
Sometimes the feels are the scares
Was anyone else expecting Kothoga?
As in the monster movie also named Relic? XD
My mom has early onset dementia.. She’s only 56. This movie was actually really sad because it shows exactly how you sometimes view your own loved one who you used to recognize. It can be terrifying. Sometimes she screams and gets violent, other times she’s loving and sweet. The ending showing the hopelessness of the situation is what really hit home for me... Knowing one day I too could be what my mom is to me, to someone else.
I may be a random person on the internet but I have no doubt in my heart, that you love your mother and that your mother loves you. I’m sorry to hear about that
@Content Corrector Yes I know how this can turn,my siblings couldnt get rid of mum,quicklly enough,it broke my heart,she had nursed others for 30yrs,when she needed help,no one wanted to know,it has affected me so much,yet they left me to deal with it ,as they are well off.You should be proud of yourself ,for caring ,too many dont ,peace to you.
MrGoat Man I really appreciate the kind words. It doesn’t matter if they come from the internet the fact that you took the time to say something is extremely appreciated. Thank you again
Content Corrector your comment didn’t make me cry there’s just a leak from ceiling.. What you said is true. So many people are so quick to put them into a home and they go downhill faster from there. It’s usually not out of spite but because people don’t know how to handle it. Seeing a person you used to know who you love and respect and was one of the smartest people you’ve ever met turn into a full grown toddler is humbling and terrifying. People panic and I can’t blame them. I really appreciate the prayers and the comment... thank you!!!
dont worry she's not going to chase you around with crooked legs and still have the strength to grab and toss you lmfao
my grandpa had dementia. he would go to the door in the middle of the night and yell into the dark hello and come in. and when we asked him who he was talking to he said his friend was out there.
he then would threaten to call his dad on me who was a cop when i wouldnt let him yell into the dark anymore.... a 90 yr old man threatening to call his dad on me
that is terrifying
my grandad had dementia too,he passed away last month.
You should have asked him to introduce u
I feel sorry for u and toch
What if you looked outside at who he was yelling to and seen a tall dark figure standing in the yard
There is something important that is missed here. The supernatural entity is her great-grandfather, whose presence has been brought in by the "relic" of the installed window from his former log cabin. As he aged he was not properly taken care of by Edna, and so slowly takes possession of her as her mind deteriorates, letting him in. When what has been left of Edna has been replaced by the ghost of her grandfather, it seeks to attack the Mother and daughter, easily being put down by her frailty. However, instead of leaving Edna alone to die like her grandfather, the mother stays and to take care of her, and finds that what was under her skin was in fact the great-grandfather. She proceeds to peel away Edna's shell, and comforts the ghost of her great grandfather, who did not know such comfort in his own dying day.
@Mandi Pudding i thought they were some kind of aliens. Like it’s in their blood. I think that really is her mom not the grandfather.
@Mandi Pudding it’s probably a 2 way meaning. Depends on what the viewers want it to be. I know it is about dementia. The deterioration of the mind and body but still why is the house winding and changing like a maze? Can somebody explain that part? It happened to the grand daughter so that shouldn’t be a dementia.
@Mandi Pudding if you like movies like this I suggest the visit. It has a similar plot but some twist to it. I just watched it last night and it was all kinds of scary, creepy, f’d up and sometimes funny. It’s directed by m knight shayamalan. I recommend it.
Dude just leave the explaining to foundflix instead of playing smart and not being clever if you knew all that why come here pretentious much..just shut up and listen to the person who knows.
@@DensilGrant I am free to comment, that's why the comment section exists. I'm sorry my free speech offended you. However, I'm not sorry I made a comment on what I think. My advise is for you think for yourself.
As someone who has Alzheimer’s in her family this is terrifying and scary, truly a good film.
@Larry Enticer wtf
Yeah. A lot of people said they didn't like the movie because they didn't get the metaphors, and they didn't get what the film was trying to say which is sad because this movie is so good and so emotional, and it sucks that most people don't get it.
Same.

"A body that has outlasted the existence of the personality; that is far, far more horrifying than any spook or ghoul that you could ever hope to glimpse, believe me. "
Dank quote my boi. Saved it into my phone notes.
@The Pornographer Didn't read it, I watched it. It was a 2010 BBC adaptation of "Whistle and I'll Come to you" by M.R. James. Worth watching if you get the chance.
@akshay satish People have forgotten what horror is supposed to be. Doing the cinematic equivalent of jumping out of a cupboard and shouting "boo" does not make a horror film.
@@midnightmosesuk It makes my horror film. What's scary about old people being old people? This is the natural progression of life and anyone scared of it needs to grow up and face reality.
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 Old people being old doesn't worry me. I'm not that young myself. I'm talking about the death of personality. Your memories fade, your personality fragments and everything that made you a person rots away. All that's left is a hollow shell with just shreds of you left behind. How can "growing up" bring you to terms with that? I think you are the one that is out of touch with reality.
its really scary when your own grandmother is going through dementia.
Agreed. I’ve been helping my grandma with her memory issues and making sure her things are okay (meds, appts, groceries etc)
It really is, especially when your mom neglects her
Yeah when my neighbor who I was close to when I was younger got dementia it broke my heart that she didn't remember me and got sicker and sicker
I worked with ppl like that. Acted like wild animals.
I went through two different types of dementia with both my maternal grandparents. It doesn't get easier. Best way to cope is to find people who are willing to listen and try to forgive yourself for any misunderstandings or mistakes. If you can, tell your grandparent you love them as often as is comfortable. It's rough, but both myself and my mom were grateful that we were there in the end.
Feels like this movie is more dark than scary. Learning to accept the inevitable, without trivializing the horror is accepting dementia.
I just watched a guy explain a movie I've never seen or heard of and enjoyed the hell out of it
Haha, welcome to the channel! seems to be a theme with most of FoundFlix's videos. Pretty great content.
I forget to turn on subtitles
Welcome to the channel brother lol
those are called stories, and storytellers
Dude I never watch a horror movie that this guy hasn’t explained and recommended.
Her carrying her mom up the stairs brought some tears not gonna lie.
Rest in heaven mom, miss you😢
This hit me.
When my grandma passed away, she had severe dementia. She could barely even speak a word, just grunts and groans. It's so scary to see someone you love forget you. Edit: thank you all for the kind comments 💕
My deep condolences
i'm so sorry you had to experience that. it is indeed very hard.❤
Hugs
Thats really sad you went through alot. Hope she rests in peace
Both of my grandparents had dementia watching them over the years geting worse and worse until they passed shit was real hard, they are in peace now. My condolences to you and your family.
At nine minutes in, almost teary. Almost. At 20:43 the tears are very, very real. My mom's side of the family consists of a lot of stubborn idealists that all agree that one must die with their boots on and therefore will not waste their money on a nursing home. So, grandmas 90 and still kicking. Had to help out taking care of grandma since elementary school and it definitely gets more difficult as the patient's condition worsens. Sticking to your ideals in this way is difficult unless you have friends and family to support you.
I flew back from uni this past winter to help out with grandma while my parents settled into their new office. I've gotten better at speaking my grandmother's native languages while away, and it's made taking care of her a bit more fun. Even though she can't remember me anymore, she's chill and acts like it's her birthday whenever you remind her of your identity, how old she is, how many grandbrats she's got. Our youngest dog established itself as grandma's therapy dog and footwarmer on the first day they met (We have a maltipoo mini and a blue heeler and they both use grandma as an excuse to sleep on the couch and on my bed).
My family's lucky that grandma stopped denying her condition, accepted and prepared herself for being a disoriented time traveler aka dementia patient (all she did was right tons and tons of letters to anyone and some with no recipient). She said goodbye while she was still herself. But sometimes her wit and sharp tongue returns and catches us off guard, or she's got this look in her eye that makes it seem like we just got played.
I want covid to end so she can laugh while watching me get my ass beat playing games. (She really like BOTW and DkS1)
Hell, this old lady might outlive me
Yeah the real horror is watching your parent deal with their parent's dementia and knowing you can't help them. The horror of understanding that your parent is likely to have dementia, you yourself could have it, and the cycle will continue because there's no cure. The horror of realizing your child will have to deal with you, too...
Just because there isn't a cure now, doesn't mean there never will be. Never assume that what took your grandparents will also take you cause in the time between then and now we make leaps forward in medical aid, who knows maybe being sick won't even be in fashion anymore by then
Macgaming-the incredible fast learning gamer True, they know that is it caused by a abnormal build up of proteins in/on the brain like plaque on teeth. They are researching how to prevent that from happening. The old place I used to work would donate proceeds to a charity that funds some of the research.
I'm pretty sure dementia isn't guaranteed. My 86 and 76 year old grandparents are very healthy, and have no signs of it and take care of themselves.
@@jimmey0 it is more likely in a family that has it
@slothkingn1 End of life assistance is available in a lot of countries.
The locked in the closet part scared the everliving shit out of me cuz of how close it hit for me. My great grandfather had severe dementia and in the first stages of it he hid me and my sister in the basement thinking we were trespassing into his home. After what it felt like several hours one of my aunts came home and found us there and called our parents to pick us up. I never went back nor were we allowed to go see my great grandfather after that. Ever since that experience, I’ve been afraid of dark, enclosed spaces l
it really is sad...my grandmother would forget who i was. would scream and cry thinking i was a man trying to rob her. it broke my heart
Im so sorry
Had the same experience. It was terrible
😞💔
This hits home. My grandmother has Alzheimer... She doesnt even remember her daughters. She doesnt remember anything, like a child.
That sucks
Unlucky.
But does your mum peel off her skin?
My grandfather went through it. It was horrible, but the worst, the absolute worst, was the rare moments of lucidity where I could see he knew how much he had lost. Those broke my soul.
@@Tanstaafl_74 i feel that man. I hope everything is a bit better
Didn’t point out how cool it looked where she looked like she was talking to the door but was facing the other way the whole time.
That got me, I was less scared by it and more impressed by the cinematography lol
Time stamp please!!! 🤔🤔🤔
If you want the whole scene it’s 32 minutes in and ends at 33 minutes, if you want specifically just that part it’s 32:55
Slylox M. Shi had me all twisted. Da goat thoe for the time stamp
@@slyloxm.6260 the video isn't even 30 minutes long
At the end of this video, I'm in floods of tears, those last few scenes are so powerful to me as my nan had Dementia for 6-7 years before she passed away in 2013. As an only child and her being a widow, she was my best friend, I have so many lovely memories of her growing up.
But she grew to forget everything and everyone around her by my early-mid-teens. It was literally like looking in the mirror at that ending, that my kind, beautiful nan had become someone so unrecognisable-more like a husk of the person she once was, yet I couldn't help but still love regardless of how much anguish her distance and lack of acknowledgement caused me.
My heart has been broken since she passed and while time has healed some pain, there's not a day that goes by where I don't miss her. More films like this need to be made, to make others aware of this horrible illness and perhaps teach ways to accept/find help in these situations.
This channel is better than Netflix.
I am not saying, that FF is a bad channel, but being better than netflix isn't so hard
@Fred T I drink apple cider when I'm feeling sad.
No
one day he'll have his own channel/app, with all the movies he has explained
Hes very entertaining, plus you get extra credit for the wall of content behind you
this movie seems a little similar to “the taking of deborah logan” which is a great movie and definitely worth a watch!! it’s on shudder !!
Thought the same when watching
More than similar. Darn near the same movie.
The only similarity is the dementia element. Deborah Logan was a well paced, well written story that actually had an explanation. This one was a long, dry metaphorical bore.
@@ocky88 that surprises me - the ending explanation here was so terrifying, claustrophobic and sad that I'm afraid to watch the actual movie.
@@seraphik the only thing to fear is boredom. The ending was good an intellectually curious kind of way, but everything leading up to it was dry.
The hair style looks spiffy my guy.
Right? It looks good on him.
Look at James A. Janice
Oh I was thinking something more like “lesbian on a scary movie date” look
I liked him with his long hair.

This really hit home for me. My Grandma suffered from Dementia as time went by she slipped away from being this bubbly sweet and loving lady it wasn't all it once, it look a few year but it was like she was becoming hollow, the film's portrayal of the transitions of dementia is absolutely horrifying and breath taking, for the last month's of my grandma's life we visited her often, my father was there everyday to look after her and just be with her, it got hard for him as time went on as my Grandma started to forget who he was. She would say that he was her husband or her neighbor, and when it got really bad my dad would stop trying to correct her. I've never seen my dad so emotional as the time he tucked her into bed and my Grandma said "promise you won't leave me Lesley (my dad's dad, he passed way from cancer about 19 years prior) I don't know what I'd do without you" he promised he never ever would leave her and after he left the room he broke down in tears, it was only for about 15 seconds but I will never forget how much my heart hurt seeing my dad in so much pain. Fuck dementia.
This is so sad... I had a great grandparent pass away with dementia and it can feel this dark sometimes. He was always himself though. He never forgot me and I’ll always be so thankful for that.
My grandmother passed away 2 months ago with dementia and im just so glad my mother was there for her till the very end. Thank you foundflix

Exactly. It doesn't make sense that this is a metaphor for dementia. I think they were supposed to be aliens.
@@mrsx7944 I think it was just a metaphor for old memories getting twisted. But someone else speculated it was her grandfather who died alone at the start. He wanted love and affection he didn't get in life.
we saw "the rental" and "relic" at the drive in last weekend, my whole family was confused by this one but I found it fascinating, although most of the horror was lost in the nachos
I've been watching your channel for years. There are many "movie recap" youtube channels, but youre is clearly just one of the best. One thing I like in particular is how you use the still images while you're telling the story. Its obvious you put in thought to what will best compliment the narrative.
At first I thougt its really not her mom, its probably a skin wearing creature but then at the end
No, she is her mom
And its no Creature or Alien, its just the cycle of life
Arguably even scarier
I will not follow any "cycle". I will always and forever be as and what I am.
Ye but why did she turn into that thing. I don't understand was she possessed?? Like that is not the life cycle of a human loose all ur skin an turn into E.T.
@@blaisenbuds5879 just a metaphorical figure of death
@@blaisenbuds5879 they're aliens.
“You are loved”. My grandfather writes notes and labels everything as his memory is starting to escape him. I would be in agony if he had to be reminded of how much my family viscously loves him.
My great grandma struggled with *Alzheimer’s* It was a Long and terrifying process. But mostly just sad.
She used to love me. But when she Devolved she didn’t know my name no more. She only knew simple names like my brother.
She was angry. And she was bitter.But she had those funny moments. Those break of characters....
Those are the moments I remember. Fondly...
After I moved from New York. SHe ended up passing away in an old folks home. Saddest part is.. She had signs of abuse
It eats at me every day. Knowing the unknown.
Was she getting up and falling. And injuring herself
Or did a nurse hit her out of frustration
I know things are better now. Because she’s no longer here. But just thinking of anyone else I love and care for going through that. It’s horrible I wouldn’t wish on my Enemies.
This movie was simply
*Beautiful*
FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING THE
Differences from
*Alzheimer* and *dementia*
From what I gathered.
They are similar. But all Alzheimer’s is the more dramatic lethal and evasive
While dementia is longer lasting.
And doesn’t always result in Complete memory loss.
Depending on which part of dementia is taking a hold of the brain. Some people can even remember far in the past.
Thats sad Amy, I never wanna experience that. It so painful just thinkin of it..

I am confident that one day we will solve this disease. And know how to help people better.
There has been great developments on this disease. I suggest anyone to donate. And if not, Get educated on it. So we can help others and understand better.
I heard eating healthy. And limiting sugars is a great way to Lower your chances.
Being that a certain proteins that damages The brain through this disease
. is associated with sugars.
But Just enjoying your life. And living through it with no regrets. Is a good way to secure your happiness and others. In Every part of your life.
The beginning middle and end
My grandmother and a great aunt had dementia. It’s a very very slow forgetting.
And yes both of them could remember when they were young. But then would forget that people had died or what year it was. They would also confuse people and forget names.

Yes it’s very sad. But it’s good to talk about it. Thank you so much for telling us This sensitive part of your past.
Just know Everyone will experience and has experience losing a loved one. One way or the other.
But You sharing this. Shows us
That You’ve been through the grieving process. That even though you Can’t forget.
you accept that.
And that takes a really strong person to go through a hard journey like that
Literally going through this right now with my father and my grandma. To all those out there going through the same, I’m here for ya.
I recently lost my grandmother and I’ve NEVER cried watching a horror movie and I sobbed at the end of this movie. It’s so beautifully written story.
This brings back awful memories my grandmother went through a very similar decline after a stroke it was terrifying. I was eleven at the time and we moved in to help take care of her.
The note that looked like “I am love?” Actually said “I AM LOVED”
My mom works as a nurse in an asylum for Alzheimer's patients and she always tells me that the most heartbreaking moment is when the patients have some moment of lucidity and realize they are in an asylum because most of them were proffesors, detectives, doctors or engineers and never thought for a second they would end up there. Also, there are tons of social cases which means they were abandoned by their family or brought in by some neighbour or police officer.
the sound at the very start of the video made me feel things i never want to feel again
It made me roll my eyes lol.
Did not expect a symbolic journey into losing a loved one to dementia or Alzheimers. Having gone through this with my grandfather, it was painful enough just to watch this synopsis so I'm not sure if I could handle watching this movie. That part about shedding the illusion of grandma to reveal the stranger underneath...that one hurt. The truth there hurt. A lot.
Before I saw this upload last night I had a dream about MY nana declining mentally and turning violent against me and my mother despite my nana passing years ago. The dream was very vivid and frightening. I didn't know this was today's upload or what the movie was even about. It was the first thing to pop up in my reccomended feed this morning. Seeing it now is very similar to my dream with my nana last night despite never seeing this movie. Just strange wouldn't you say? I got the chills.
Last night I had dream a girl sat on my lap but if I had your dream I would never go to the bathroom at night
Maybe you told somebody about your dream and the phone heard you. They listen to everything, ya know?
I help both my parents currently. They are still competent but my mom broke her hip and they both forget things. It's scary and even scarier to think about losing them.
Jesus Christ this is heavy. Can we get a mindless slasher soon? 2020 is too harsh already
Terrifier 2 trailer has been released last month. That may scratch your itch for a while.
Tell me about it 😩
Don't watch "Don't listen" then. I watched both this and that in the same day. I'm a mess
My grandma had dementia and it really is like they are a different person. It’s scary, but I still stepped in with my mom to take care of her. Thankfully she didn’t deteriorate like this, but on a mental level I can totally relate to this movie
A great album about the stages of dementia is “everywhere at the end of time” it simulates the stages of dimentia with instrumental old music and is definitely worth a listen
Definitely a sad and scary experience
Just listen to me play an instrument. You'd be convinced I had dementia....at the least.
@sole survivor
It is a very sad disease.
It's only 6 hours and 30 minutes, but it truly feels like you're listening to a lifetime of memories slowly fade and entangle
I’m so sorry to everyone who lost someone to this awful illness. I’m right there with you.
I had tears in my eyes when I got to the end with the sticky note that said, "I am loved" 🥺
Nice. It reminds me of Freud's analogy of a house to represent the subconscious, preconscious and conscious.
I'm easily frightened AND overly emotional so I'm watching this so I'm prepared when I go to watch the full film. My grandmother died of dementia/Alzheimer's and the experience was so sad that I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to watch this one but I've heard such fabulous things about it.
Out of all the horror films that I’ve enjoyed watching over the years the ones that are somehow rooted in reality scare me the most. Awesome critique!!!
This movie honestly made me sad, mainly because of how terrifying dementia is
It can be scary and sad especially when it hits close to home. And even if you think you're prepared for it, it still blindsided you.
I was about to leave my grandma alone to work in the city, after seeing the note "I am loved" I started crying and it hits me hard. I love my grandma and im reconsidering to stay. She's all i have. I love you grandma
This is a movie Id like to see but it might hit to close to home.
I always watch horror movies with my mother and just last year the state place her mother/ my grandmother into a nursing home. It was after years of trying to find the best option for her without belittling her wishes. She didn't want to leave her house that was decaying from burst frozen pipes and various plumbing issues.
My father had dementia just before he passed. I can finish this review like I want too. This is making me remember how troubled my dad was at the end of his life.
Thank you for coming through with videos during these times, Found Flix. I’m on a binge ❤️
Love when FoundFlix reviews movies. Especially the good ones that needs extra explaining ☺️
My grandfather had dementia, and it's hella hard to deal with someone who you loved wanting to hurt you all the time
Thanks FF. I feel his movie somes up how dementia eats away at you and can be truely heartbreaking. My mom had dementia and the last 2 years were very hard. I actually quit my job to look after her as I was the one person she remembered the most (being the oldest). She past away last November from a stroke.
I only just watched this last night and enjoyed it greatly. While not classically "horror", it certainly is creepy with some great skin crawling moments and a touch of body horror. Also, it's pronounced "Melbun", not "Melborn"... if there's a lazy way to say a word, us Aussies will take it!
Isn't it pronounced Melbin?
@@Nesaru Actually it's pronounced closer to "Melbn" than "Melbun" or "Melbin". Gotta get rid of as many vowels as we can!
We do not speak of that city
@@TwirlyLamb You mean Plague Central?
Australians, stop asking people to say Melbin if you’re saying Califohnia instead of California. People have different accents.
Wow I didn't see the movie and just watching the ending of it through your video made me cry.
None of your other videos have had that impact for me.
This story is powerful.
Something we all have to face in one way or another.
That ain't dementia, that's my neighbor Rayray. He's always doing stuff like that. He called that ladys daughter and said she was missing. After he replaced the note reminding her to take her pills with a note reminding her to write a note...you know dementia suff.
He makes these so interesting and only starting watching his videos because his voice is so captivating. His mannerisms give me Spencer Reid vibes
Lucky for me no one in my family has ever had dementia or anything else like it. Having to watch someone go through that would be hard
Did you ever see "The Taking Of Deborah Logan"?? A horror found footage movie about a team that documents a woman with Alzheimer's
I’m so used to watching random uploads that I didn’t even realize this was a new upload until I read the date of the title.
After losing my grandpa/father figure to dementia, this movie hit hard. He fought for 8 years. It’s been 7 years since he left us. I still miss him more than anything, but find comfort in knowing he’s not suffering any longer.
I don't think I've ever been this early, I'm excited for this!
Existential horror is the kind that sticks with me the longest after. This film almost made me burst into tears, which isn’t usually a reaction I experience with horror movies. Dementia doesn’t run in my family, but I’ve seen people suffering from it and it haunted me to see.
Kay realizing only too late how much her mother needed her made me go straight to my mom to give her a hug after this movie ended.
Truly a well-written and well-conceptualized film. Thanks for covering it!
Reminds me of the short story “The yellow wallpaper” the way the decaying of the walls mirror the character’s mental state decaying. Literally right out of “The yellow wallpaper”.
I worked in Alzheimer's facilities for years, & this is a very creepy, but still mostly accurate portrayal of what people & their families go through when someone has dementia.
Heard a good review of this elsewhere... Looking forward to getting around to seeing this.
Honestly subscribing to this channel was one of the best subs I could give. I’ve seen so many annoying breakdown hosts that go over the top. But not this one. Keep up the great work man
Isn’t almost all Horror Movies labeled “the scariest movie since _____”
Only the bad ones
Cancer Connoisseur are any of the ones that came out now good?
@Thomas Light
Agreed.
Over-hyping can kill a movie quick, and I see it happen waaaaay too often these past few years.
@@tidepride86 Right, movies have become jumpscare jumpscare jumpscare jumpscare scary demon ghost jumpscare end of movie

Lol that's pretty damn accurate.
With my grandma having had dementia and her have been in the last stage before dying, the movie hits on a more personal level.
Seeing a loved one changing due to dementia is horrible and sad as well as hard to accept.
My mother has been forced into a 24-hour caregiver role with my grandmother. There is no horror more terrifying than reality.
My grandpa had alzheimers and was getting bad when he passed away. It's hard to see someone's personality disappear and just become a shell of the person they use to be. But I am thankful for having the expertise, he is the reason that I became a nurse
I look forward to these movie explanations. Thank you.
My grandfather suffered from dementia until he passed. It's one of the most heartbreaking things you could ever experience. Especially when you've grown up really close to that family member. The only thing that brought us comfort was that even though he couldn't remember us, he was still a kind sweetheart
When you’re so early, you don’t even have time to get scared
Oh gosh, so glad I saw this and not the actual movie, cried my eyes out at that last scene. Just hearing your description and the pictures, it still hit me, the whole message and scene. :(
Its rampant in my family, it's a cruel and unforgiving illness.
I thought it was a horror movie I was getting but in reality I’m getting a metaphor for the cycles of living and how you can’t outrun the inevitable in life that’s gonna happen to all of us. It’s okay to be scared of losing someone you love so much. But don’t that person feel alone on the ride be by their side. It’s a beautiful yet tragic movie about the fear of loss.
This movie really hit home as my grandma, after 20 years of constant love, can't even remember my name anymore...It really does suck tbh
This is super unsettling. I never had grandparents in my life until my husband. Both my husband's grandmothers, who are absolutely amazing people, suffered horridly at the end due to mental state. It hurts to lose someone you've only known for a few years, much less your whole life. I just wish I could have helped.
My great-aunt developed dementia. She would call me to come help her because of the little man who keeps coming out of her vent. I thought maybe a maintenance man had come to check on her apartment. But one time, she froze and pointed towards the bathroom asking me if I saw him crouching above her mirror near the ceiling. It was a horrific moment both because I thought someone/thing was there and the realization we were seeing different things now. On a funnier note, she kept telling me that I was a sweet girl, but I needed to leave [my husband] alone because he's married to a nice girl and they have children. She was one of the first people to hold me when I was born, and she was a beautiful, intelligent, and funny woman throughout my life of loving her.
Lol 😂 she thought you were the side chick!! Honestly she couldn’t tell it was you and still spoke so highly of you .
That would scare the shyt outta me!!
My grandmother had dementia. She was constantly angry, hurting herself and others. It is sad.
I just finished this movie like a minute ago...I didn't expect it to be so beautiful and heartbreaking. I nearly cried at the end
This hits home pretty hard. My Tia(aunt) had early Alzheimers disease and died at 53. I never fully experienced it with my Tia and I barely remember her because I was so young. My grandma (her mother) currently has dementia and its getting worse. She still remembers me but will forget what she said or repeat stories over and over again. Its hard to see her go through this. It hurts to think that she will be gone soon, I love her so much.
When she pulls the clothes to the side to reveal the rotting is that a forehead and nose sticking out from the right side???
4:13 got my brightness cranked up to max at 1080p and I can see folds in the nose area, so it's way more likely just a piece of clothing that was tucked away at the back.
Excellent breakdown of the movie, per usual. Thanks for reviewing it.
Fun fact the actress who played Kay in this movie Emily Mortimer also played in Scream 3. In Scream 3 her character's name was Angelina Tyler
How is that a fun fact? She's an actress in her 50s. It's normal that she's been in other movies..
Gods, this movie is so much like The Babadook that I'm surprised it's the person's debut movie...And DAMN it affected me so hard. I had to pause several times to cry while watching it. My mother's mother suffered dementia before she died...Having to watch her mind slowly waste away, forgetting everything and everyone she loved...The GOOD days were the worst. When she REMEMBERED what she was slowly forgetting, and SAW how much it hurt us to watch it happen...
is it just me or is chris looking mighty fine this video? i mean he’s been super attractive in previous episodes but something about today just makes me feel all warm
My partners maternal grandfather had Alzheimer’s and every time his mother begins to forget things I start to worry. This hit my heart and I def got a big choked up when seeing that last part.
Wow this is probably the earliest I will ever be

Yup, me three

haha same! :)
Wow. This movie ♡ We brought my dad home after being ventilated 3 times in the ICU & it was like bringing home someone in the thick of dementia. He had a terrible case of ICU delirium (I can't believe doctors don't talk about this! We had to research everything on our own & that made the experience that much more harrowing) & suffered really intense paranoid delusions. Every day was a battle because he thought we were poisoning him, or we were robots or demons, etc. He'd hide his pills pretending to swallow them. He'd wrestle freshly cooked food from my hands & throw it on the floor. Changing his diaper was a nightmare. *sigh* It was the hardest few weeks of my life & I have a whole new found respect & compassion for families dealing with this. Thank God his mind came back. He's still not 100% there like he was before but I just pray every day he gets better. I'm terrified it might come back in his later years & I just hope to God I'm financially in a much better place to care for him if it does. My heart goes out to all who are suffering ♡♡
Are you and James from Dead Meat cosplaying as each other? that's pretty cute ngl

Ronald Gomez grow up
Ronald Gomez so what?
Kat Rose age has nothing to do with maturity if thats what you meant
Watching my mother deal with her the best way to take care of her father when the Alzheimers worsened was so rough. He was such a brilliant, bright, inventive and just magnificent person. Very ADHD and impulsive which left some disconnect between him and my mother (He might not have been the most reliable dad, but he was the BEST Grandpa, you know?) and seeing him be sort of... trapped in his own mind and body as he slowly got worse... it was a relief when he finally passed, like he could be free, but holy cow, do I miss the man I hardly got to know. And it worries me because it affected my father's parents too but he has loads of siblings that are closer to them, and my mother was my grandpa's only child. I know this is going to affect me at some point, and I dread how it will affect my parents, but it just feels like an inevitability. My Grandpa survived SO MUCH STUFF and this sort of Alzheimer's/dementia is just genetic timebomb. If something else doesn't kill you before it happens, _This will._
I can't really say I have the wisdom to know how/when I want to die, but wow, I hope it doesn't have to be like this.
