I committed great crime, its a saab not bmw lol
You also had a typo in the description. Tfw you retain to monke
Lol I came here to say this. The writers really didn't know cars but most non car people wouldn't know anyways so I get it.
Also, as it's a convertible, they very likely couldn't access the trunk through the backseat as the convertible top is stored there.
Don’t worry, I know much less about cars than you but still love the science in these
Came down to say this, only to find that you not only realized the error but pinned the acknowledgement/correction as well.
This kind of earnest, down-to-earth attitude (and obviously the videos/channel focus) is exactly why I decided to sub. Keep up the good work man!
I hate sand, it's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere... Oh, and it apparently has weird monsters in it that eats you if you set foot on it.
Poor Anakin.
As he still Spies on Rey and telling her to get off his property and dig up his Lightsaber and his daughter’s too and buried it with Padme in Naboo.
Noting turns his older girlfriend on more, well maybe dead younglings.
Beach or mountains?
That scene was so cringy, that entire movie was cringy
Don't forget when storms make the sand strip the flesh from your bones on desert worlds
I don't always make requests, but I'm pretty sure the monster in The Quarry will make for an interesting breakdown, and hearing you complain about their absolutely ridiculous decisions in the breakdown would be even better
Hi icy
You read my mind.. Was about to make the same request
Great suggestion!
Yyyyg
Yeah, I'd love to hear that as well
Finally an Alien that actually struggles to hunt on Earth
Most movies make aliens overpowered, almost as if they were designing a creature that is even more adapted for earth than earth creatures themselves
I mean, most invasive species are hardy generalists that thrive in the new conditions they find themselves in, so… you’re not wrong?
@@UGNAvalon well, in order to become an invasive species, it has to be able to survive well enough to establish a population in the new habitat. Stuff that isn't well suited for the environment it's been introduced to just doesn't become an invasive species. so when it comes to fictional alien species being introduced to the earth environment, it's just as plausible that they'd suck at hunting here and die out quickly as it is that they'd excel and become a very dangerous invasive species.
THIS.
Like they're not from this planet, how on earth (pun not intended) are they so good at outsmarting humans.
Like, our thousands of years of evolution and adaptation to earth are thrown out of the window while a lifeform that shouldn't even be capable of breathing oxygen proliferates.
@@whoamu.8439 "our thousands of years of evolution and adaptation to [our home ecosystem] are thrown out the window while a lifeform that [has never lived in our type of environment] proliferates."
Congratulations, you just summed up the thoughts of every ground-nesting animal in the Pacific islands on the day that rats came ashore.
Dude that happens all the time on earth with different species. Just for plants, animals, insects all have their specific environment with their own predators to live but if you put them in a place that has everything they need with no major predators they will thrive in there.
Yeah it might be dumb that most aliens in movie would thrive on earth but here's the thing, on their own planet which probably had same environment as earth then that means thay had thei own predators that keep them in check and now on earth where we as humans dont know anything about them, of course they would have it easy.
If curious you could always do research on how invasion species work and how removing a predator will damage a whole ecosystem.
Also you're forgetting that aliens in movies are super advanced, way more than us. And we as humans have become top of the food chain in our planet because of technology, humans are not made for extreme heat/cold environments yet with our knowledge we are capable of doing that. So a way more advanced and intelligent race would of course have it easy on our planet
Here in Louisiana in the swamps there is a particular "quicksand" type hazard. There will be endless layers of rotting vegetable matter covering the edges of some still bodies of water or covering some areas of water completely. This stuff can be feet or even meters thick and will look like dry ground. In some areas you can even walk on it and it will feel like spongy ground. But in some spots you will sink into it, especially if you jump off of a log into it or take some such action. You can end up going through it to the water below and it will close up over your head. This can happen near instantly in some cases. The plants won't support your weight and so you keep going through to the water underneath and the dead vegetation closes up over your head.
I was once fishing with my stepfather when I was about 13 or so and jumped off of a log onto what looked like completely solid ground. I instantly sank up to my waist in water and up to my shoulders in the soaked mucky vegetation - and was sinking quickly. My stepfather had his wits about him and had me grab one end of a large branch and he hauled me out. If I had been alone my story would have ended right there. There was no way in hell to extracate oneself from that stuff without something to grab hold of. And even if you don't completely sink to the water below the stuff you might suffocate on the rotten vegetation.
I never thought twice about alligators or snakes or poisonous plants or the trees with the 9 inch thorns etc. But I am hyper vigilant for any false "dry ground."
I don't know of anyone who has died from that shit, but I have to imagine it's taken a few unwary outdoorsmen. I imagine some may have simply been reported missing and never been found. Especially since one can be skeletonized in a week out in the swamps during the summer.
You talking about the bog? We have them in Texas too. You think it's muddy, but solid, ground and then you step in and sink to your knees.
In Canada we call it muskeg, you can get swallowed by it so fast its crazy
Nature is scary.
That entire comment was an exercise in horror for me. Holy hell that is all both fascinating yet terrifying at the same time!
had shit like that in certain places in Pennsylvania and NJ, I worked on a farm in PA and we knew exactly where it was, because the top of an old tractor was sticking up. We took 2 sheets of plywood and worked our way out there with a 30 foot pole or pipe or something, stuck it straight down, and lost the entire thing. Steered WELL clear of that part of the farm from that day on.
Another survival tip for this movie. As soon as they saw that the leather boots of the patrolmen secured his mobility, they should have gotten to cutting up the leather seats of the car and fashion at least one set leather boots to walk the remarkably small distance to safety. Even if they didn't go immediately for help, the boot wearer could toss the boots to the next person getting the majority of them out alive... Well majority of those who woke up that is.
The thing just starts yeeting and deleting stuff around it at night or when it cant reach it's target. There is no safety, and likely gathering at a site for safety would attract it.
Another consideration for nightfall. Hopefully one of them passed enough home ec to make boots in time.
Did they really hare any cutting tools available to them? Were the seat covers actually made of leather?
@@Asertix357 Break the glass of the rear view mirrors into pieces as long as possible and rap a towel around one end to make a hilt. That would make a makeshift knife they could use to cut up the seats. As far as it being actual leather? 🤷♀ I don't know, but it appears to be at least faux leather(which might do better to repel the creature). The trick with making boots would be making them thick enough to disinterest the creatures as much as it was disinterested the Kennedy Experiment. If they decided to make thick boots of faux leather, keep wounds from weeping, and even using the pepper spray on the bottoms, then it seems they'd have a greater chance of success than when they used arm rail bridge to move deeper into the creatures maw. Or at least what I remember from the movie.
"Help me step-monster" thank you Roanoke for my "adult" film script writing premiere.
"I've literaly ripped the interior of a car with my bare hands"
Guess that neanderthal DNA is starting to take hold of Roanoke
Is it possible that the "hairs" actually have some kind of barb on the end? It would explain why they couldn't pull away. With hundreds of hairs now embedded in your body and filling you with a toxin to prohibit muscle movement it would be damn near impossible to just pull your arm back out.
Kinda like Jellyfish
Bobbit worm anemone jellyfish hybrid
I assumed they went under the skin and held on
@@XDarksoulX1129
kinda like velcro
Especially considering the main monster is so large. One or two ‘hairs’ might break but there are seemingly millions of them, like jellyfish nematocysts but giant…so there are millions of tiny things grabbing you with a ton of strength behind them.
Your plot summaries are ridiculously entertaining and surprisingly comprehensive.
6:41 Okay, in defense of just this moment, have you tried "hopping" in a metal can like that? It's not that easy to do so without falling over. Because the weight is distributed more vertically than... well, wide, it's not as stable. Plus, it seems like a good portion of his own body weight is above the rim, so it would only take that top-heavy area reaching a point over the line of balance (no, I do not know the scientific terms for these) and the dude would topple over. And while I don't know this for sure, I think the sand would make this even harder, since sand itself isn't as stable as solid ground.
Maybe he could have very slowly shifted himself over to the ramp, but with all that weight digging into the unstable sand, there's a chance he would have dug himself deeper, snagged the edge, and tipped over without meaning to.
Then again, I am likely overthinking this.
I was thinking the same thing^^
Big man wasn't moving all that weight 😂
Don't jellyfish have a polyp phase in their life cycle where they fix themselves to the ocean floor. The monster could be just the polyp that evolved to hide beneath sand once it eats enough it transform into a jellyfish and leaves for the ocean.
Yes, but a jellyfish type creatures (cnidarians) lack the structure to survive in sand. Sand is dry and delivers crushing pressure. It is exposed to open air so provides no opposition to gravity. Cnidarians are mostly water so the viscosity of water supports them. On land, they collapse into blobs. They do not have strong muscles needed to borrow into or move on sand. They are so frail they cannot even pull struggling prey into their mouths. Their stings are so strong to knock out prey quickly and prevent struggle. I think the sand creature is a siphonophore like a man o' war. The man o' war looks like a jellyfish but is made up of many distinct cells working in unison, not a true multicellular creature like a jellyfish. Each cell (zooid) can adapt to unique functions such as stinging, floating on the open sea, digesting, etc. A zooid sand creature would exist as many loose cells to conform to sand rather than burrow under. They form up into specialized structures like tentacles and stingers when needed. The creature looks so big underwater because it is a very loose network of cells. The huge form is mostly empty space.
Or to do so under the ocean floor but had to make do with a soft beach.
Also just a small point, now I'm no Marine biologist but if you notice when the tentacles come up they also heavily hydrated with some kind of mucus or perhapse a thin layer of water retained via surface tension so theoretically it could expose it's self fully when in day light but incredibly briefly hence why we see the tentacles grab the man in the barrel, this would also backup the theory of hydro static presure giving it more structural support, it's also possible that it's some kind of muscular membrane kind of like a Nictitating membrane or something that leads back to whatever the core body of this creature is, allowing it to contract and move it's body when outside of water.
the hoof thing... eh... not so much. hooves do have soft squidgy parts in them that would allow for it to get a hold. given how many tendrils it will send out, it would absolutely find those squidgy bits. it may be delayed given the limited surface space, but with how effective it was at freezing up a human's mobility, something like a goat or small deer wouldn't have a prayer.
Thinking about the deep sea + horror combo, now I'm thinking about the absolute most plausible creature-driven horror plots we could have.
Imagine the following:
Submarine crew, right? Sub loses mobility, ok, that's bad enough, I'm sure movies have already been made about this. However. Radio still works. Rescue *is* coming. Mobility is out, but other systems are still mostly working.
However.
Hull is being attacked. Not quickly, mind you. Not by a giant creature. Slowly. Crawling and/or sucker-mouthed creatures, previously unknown to science. Not to get at the humans inside - the creatures don't even know about those. No, they're attacking the sub itself - gnawing, sawing, rasping away at the hull. Slowly, agonizingly, the crew has to cannibalize the sub to maintain some sort of bastion against the cold dark waters, as breach after breach is bored into the husk of the ship.
As with all horror, only later will the crew understand any of what is occurring. This is man-driven evolution. For a fair time now, we've been sending huge iron hulks to the seafloor - shipwrecks. And even before that, iron-metabolizing bacteria have existed around geothermal hotspots for possibly billions of years.
A species developed a symbiotic relation to the bacteria, hosting them in its gut. Possibly, the relationship was originally parasitic, as the bacteria fed on iron in the blood. But now, the creature - which could be a type of snail, a lamprey-like creature, something akin to a cookie-cutter shark, or a number of other things - has adopted a metallovoric behavior to feed the bacterial colonies within it, just as other creatures in the deep sea use bacterial symbiosis to feed, like the giant tube worm.
...well, maybe that wouldn't have a broad appeal. But I liked writing the idea, at least.
You just described much of the monster in his previous video on "Sea Fever".
Damn you need to copyright this stat
@@jeffumbach I have not watched that one yet. I will do so now!
this needs to be a movie.
Needs a bit of work, especially since submarines shells are made out of a steel alloy, and they typically have two hulls, but sounds like it has potential.
I love it when a low budget monster movie spends 99% of it's time focusing on a small group of nobodies then ends up spending 90% of it's special effects budget on an avengers level threat that takes up the last 30 seconds of the movie.
Roanoke: "We only explored like 5% of the ocean"
Every marine biologist and ichthyologist: "And I took that personally."
But it’s true tbh
Yeah, it's true in a way. I believe at one point we knew more about space than our own oceans? I'm not sure if that's still the case, but the ocean is still relatively unexplored iirc
Much of the ocean isn't worth exploring. Sonar mapping shows mostly nothing there except for plankton which are everywhere. Opportunistic feeders like whales and whale sharks roam there as well as a small number of predators like great whites to target the weak or injured. Reefs and other underwater landmasses are where most interesting underwater life is. The abyss is mostly lifeless with rare life subsisting on refuse from the shallows, carcasses, and sulfur from deepsea vents.
@@MunkyDrag0n and very very large squids and jellyfish
We've only applied 10% of our brain to 5% of the ocean!
I would like to hazard a headcanon for this creature:
The creature evolved from either a traditional jellyfish or a siphonophore (colonial cnidarian made of specialized zooids, like the Man o' War). Regarding the jellyfish idea, I think it's a polyp, or the first stage of a jellyfish's life cycle, that grows into a medusa at the end. Clearly, though, it's way more capable of above-water movement than cnidarians, so it's either an example of convergent evolution, or it evolved to use muscles instead of hydrostatic movement.
The other idea, the siphonophore, has two possibilities: One, it's an individual zooid that has not been able to bond with a colony; Two, it's a colony of juvenile zooids that mature by the end of the film.
Alternatively it is a type of zooid that can change structure really fast. It is originally just a loose network if simple cells. When it senses animal blood or rhythmic pressure the zooid forms up with other members into specialized hunting tentacles. Who knows, the zooids may move so fast the tentacles could be injecting zooids into the victim's flesh. They may be stinging and digesting the body at a rapid pace, leading to weakness, open sores, and rapid death.
I still got no clue why the dude was getting cut to shreds in the barrel, it literally is designed to have a smooth edge inside, he was cutting his stomach apart on a freaking smooth rounded edge.
maybe something that happened in the movie that just got glossed over in the recap
Probably mostly because the movie writers aren’t very smart
Maybe it's an old barrel and the paint and cover around the edges got rubbed off, making the edges go rusty. Really rusty.
Omg it's not a BMW it's a Saab! I waited almost half an hour to get that off my chest. Anyway, I always love the videos, I feel smarter after watching them. But now it's time to share my knowledge with you. The reason they can't use the trunk through (in the middle seat in the Saab) is because the roof is in the way. It's mostly leather and interior padding, but it's also got a few heavy steal beams and some safety glass, so you would have to go through all of that in a very confined area. And I still say you should watch The Beach House. More biological oceanic weirdness.
Times like this are when TH-cam needs a "meh" vote option for a video where the bad cancels out the good.
@@jeffumbach I don't think this would rate a 'meh'. Most people don't have a clue how convertibles work, and Saab's weren't exactly common even before they went under. It was just something that made me laugh every time I heard it.
@@jeffumbach You'd be surprised how many know fuck all about cars. Majority of people cant even change a spare tire. Plus the dude is a biologist or some shit, cut him some slack.
20:11 Maybe this is not a deep sea animal, but an animal that lives close to the surface, and the stories of krakens attacking ships weren't squids, but this creature.
15:08, i love how you say it would be bodied in seconds, it really shows the mosnters in most movies would not stand a chance in real life, they would be killed pretty fast modern firepower is powerfull.
“Ronnie says ‘it’s poison’ but it’s actually venom.” Made me laugh really hard
I agree I thought quick sand and catching on fire was going to happen a lot. I have only dealt with both once in my 32 years.
I was convinced every car crash resulted in an explosion
Sounds very unlucky to be caught in quicksand while on fire
@@Dramenknight152 “This is the last time I smoke in tar sands!”
Thanks for providing a brief explanation of why deep sea gigantism happens. I've always wondered.
18:29 Megalodon was not adapted for the deep sea, it was adapted for warm coastal waters.
It's such a common mistake people make
No fucking clue where it came from
@@Stormeris originally some scientists speculated that Megalodon would stalk its prey then dive down really deep before attacking its prey from below
@@mmstudios4538 Would make sense. Modern great whites have countershading to be harder to see from above and below. Sperm whales are grey everywhere because they are mostly deepsea hunters. As a coastal water hunter, megalodon having countershading is reasonable though they are most likely related to mako sharks and not great white sharks.
@@MunkyDrag0n yeah it does make sense but I probably should have also stated that the documentary that I watch, that went over this particular theory also believed that Megalodon was an open ocean predator. As in it spent most of its time in the open ocean, not around coastal waters
“Help me step monster” best line I’ve heard all day
Seeing how far the small tendrils extended to stab the guy's stomach, it makes me wonder why they never extend that far to stab anything else, like the banana or the hand holding it or their feet when walking on the railing.
Mystery Recapped said that the creature had fully grown by the time the sun went down. I think that's what's canon instead of it being nocturnal, Roanoke. Especially since it was seen approaching another beach in the day time at the end of the movie.
Heh this was indeed a stupid, but fun lil horror movie, thank you very much for covering it. Any chance of you covering the parasite based vampiric infection from The Strain tv series? The effects of vampirism in that series are rather unique, and wholly interesting like no other case of vampirism I'm aware of.
Bro, I love that show! I think it'd be awesome if he did that.
Oooh yeah, that would definitely be a crazy interesting biological deep dive! Those tiny wigglers grossed me allllll the way tf out. lol 🤢
I just watched this movie yesterday. Ro is monitoring his fan base y'all! He's got eyes stronger than Sauron
And today I learned this movie was NOT a fever dream, neat.
The best thing about this channel.... I get the cliff notes to a bunch of corny movies that in themselves I probably would never watch or finish if I did. Then add the entertaining commentary and I get to be entertained from a movies material that I would have other wise ignored. Hell yeah
I literally got on TH-cam today to specifically look for a video explaining this movie Roanoke. you, filmcomics, nerd explains and wow such gaming, are all Champs!!!!
Gotta say I used to love listening to reddit no sleep then I found your channel and this is my immediate go to for third shift.
The summary and science makes my nights amazing. Don't go changing too much. Love your content 😁👍
That’s a Saab 93 not a bmw 😂
Roanoke I know you mentioned anything with hoves would be immune to this thing. Not likely in-between the hoved toes gets fleshy in around an inch for most things besides horses. Even cows have it and the back of a horses toe above the hoof is within the range of the creature if the horse wasn't running it would likely get grabbed
Now this is a movie I haven't seen in a while! Awesome video! Im still hoping there will be a video for harbinger down.
I love your breakdowns of these kinds of movies! I wouldn't sit down and watch a movie like this, but your synopsis and analysis are so interesting I am engrossed by your content lol
Thank you for posting! Content starved!
Your channel is definitely in top 10 of my favorite things on the internet.
Bless you
Remember watching this when I was a little younger, while the movie itself is pretty bad the concept scared me pretty good. It’s kind of nice seeing his again
@@treeisme6714 oh yeah, tremors is one of my all time favorite movies
Nah this traumatized me when I was younger
Who is the blithering cidiot that decided that "cnidarian" needed a silent "C"?
On a side-note: Whenever someone points out that you don't just get "knocked out" for half a day without major brain trauma, I grow an additional thumb, just so I can give them a thumbs-up!
Of all my numerous pet peeves, misrepresentation of concussive force applied to the cranium is one.
My sister has had multiple traumatic brain injuries without getting knocked out
I imagine actually getting hit hard enough to be knocked out would be worse
Once got knocked out for about 3 hours. I was fine 🤷🏿♀️ But that was just a few hours.
Just quick note, at the 5:11 mark after you said BMW, it has the guy jumping out of the car, and its a Saab.
Loved the video by the way!!!
This was fun! I think I'll subscribe for more lol
The monster things from The Quarry would make for an interesting episode
They are werewolves btw. Plenty of evidence in the game to support it, but with minor differences to how a typical werewolf would be. The transformation and lack of hair ect
I literally was just thinking you should do a video on this movie!
When I heard that bioshock music in the background... It was like a flashback. Thanks for giving me a blast from the past, man :')
I have been waiting for this one. I’m excited!!
If you just added two scenes to this movie(or made it into a flashback section of a series), it would make perfect sense: A scientist talking about how it excretes a substance that when evaporated in the sun and inhaled, disrupts the neocortex, similar to how stress and substance abuse reduces your ability to reason and reflect, making people act like they did in the film - and that it's an aquatic predator that was brought out of it's natural habitat by the students in it's egg stage and that's why it sucks at hunting in the sand and couldn't get out of there until it grew big enough to use it's larger tentacles to slip back into the sea.
It would make for a pretty good underwater monster that hides in the sand like angel sharks and bobit worms, but on land it's pretty damn limited.
I remember this movie. Such a cool concept. Reminded me of graboids from the Tremors franchise. Death coming for you from under the ground is terrifying as a concept. Like an invisible shark. All to fuck it up with dumb unlikable characters and unrealistically stupid decisions.
new
Roanoke Gaming video lets go
Thank god, i needed stimulus to get through my Friday at work, youre doing the sky wizards work Roan.
Hey Roanoke, not to bug you but could we see an analysis of the monster in Carrion? It’s a pretty interesting thing
I was hoping you would cover this eventually
This is why I always wear my boots
Great video, thanks mate!
I think the can shows that ungulates are not completely safe. It will mistake you for a rock, but stay too long and it will go after you, like with the metal can.
I mean sometimes fire pits can hold heat for awhile maybe not all night and into the morning but it depends on when it went out. I made the mistake of kneeling in one that had been out for several hours and burnt the absolute shit out of my knee
Did it hurt😂😂😂
@@passdatsmokedogg1835 yeah it did I yelled out super loud and a bunch of people came running thinking I must’ve cut my hand or something
THANK YOU!!!! I wanted you to cover this one soooo bad cause it's so stupid but i am curious about the creature.
You're AWESOME!!!!!
Great video!!!
Hope you do the werewolves from "the quarry", seems like a very interesting infection. 🤔 keep up the awesome content!
One of the easiest and possibly most fun ways to get out is to take a surfboard (or any flat surface), break off 2 planks of handrail from the lifeguard house, and sand ski your way to safety. Shows us the real biggest threat to everyone's safety in this film was the alcohol; speaking as a non drinker.
As someone who's tried shit like this (I live next to a beach), 80% odds you fall over at some point. Or, if you're drunk/hungover, 99%.
@@AnEnormousNerd as someone who's watched this channel before, I'll let someone else try this strategy first and see what happens.
These videos are so dang informative
i honestly wondered when you was gonna do this movie. keep up the awesome work.
It's a FWD Saab. Also you can't get to the trunk of a BMW convertible through the back seat because theres a roof compartment in the way. You get a ski hatch at best
I don't think the creature avoided the fire pit because of temperature, I think it was more likely a sensitivity to something in the ash (probably lye)
because lye would or coud eat through it's flesh i presume? interesting idea.
I don't think the directors were smart enough to come to that conclusion 🤔
i love how often your car knowledge is relevant in movies
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO! OH MY GOD!
Roanoke read my mind. I've always wanted him to do a breakdown on this sandy bugger.
gotta love how Roanoke doesn't even think twice about telling his viewers to look up nude yoga on TH-cam
Ive been waiting months to watch this for the second time. In my opinion, this was THE video that cemented why my science friends and movie friends put your vids on EVERYTIME we hang out and drink on discord. Its such a perfect meeting of drunk minds. Science boys are giggling, movie bros saying "most people dont know!!!!" Its super fun. Good people that like you.
You always review some neat b movies that I've never heard of, it's really neat because it's a cool breakdown and a neat movie recommendation.
I love your new format for videos 💯
Good to know I'm not the only one who, as a kid, was terrified that quicksand would be a regular and inescapable obstacle later in life.
Thanks for the video, entertaining as always :) Would you consider covering Spectral at some point? Would love to hear your take on the science in that one 🤓
One of the funniest videos you’ve ever made lol
"help me stepmonster" sometimes i wonder who tf lets you talk roanoke
this is a joke ily man
Roanoke really just made a video on how to beat the meat on a beach
And insisted that he knows cars while getting multiple details wrong including the make of the car a dozen times and clearly having never tried to access the trunk through the backseat in a freakin' convertible.
I've been waiting for this day
One of the few channels I look forward to watching
Couldnt it also be possible that it uses internal processes to bring water into its body to support its frame? like some ability to hold water and use muscle contractions along the appendage to facilitate movements?
Yes, countless animals including starfish, slugs, and jellyfish use hydraulic pressure differences to move. They lack muscles how we would understand it. Truly amazing works of nature.
HEEELLLL YEAH NEW VIDEO!!!
Lmmfao! That introduction is perfect.
I love this guy’s humor so much.
The title made me laugh.
Hey Roanoke, if you see this...I just wanted to let you know that your videos are a highlight of my day every time you upload. I hope that makes you feel good because your videos make me feel good!
Your too obsessive, it's not healthy
@@richardhands904 You meant You're.
And watch a youtuber talk about how making other people happy makes them happy. *eye roll*
Honestly?
cheap movie and all... but dang I love this Monster, It's a very cool idea and design, and the final shot when you see It's Massive body in the water is actually pretty terrifyin'
👀
Love the WoW references. If even for a moment! So much lore and story-telling beyond the video games.
First, thanks for the video, a fun watch. Second, do you still have plans on video games, like prey and the Typhon. Mainly because I feel like it would be cool to see how they would fair against the flood or necromorphs.
How is the guy in the trash can supposed to "hop" it over without it just falling over and leaving him helpless on the sand?
Yeah i was looking for a comment saying this. Cmon roanoke, you wouldn't manage that yourself lmfao
Honestly if this was in real life he'd still be better off trying than staying there. There is NO fucking way that man could have stayed in that trash can for as long as he did in the sun like that. That is a steel drum, that fucker will easily get over 200 degrees in direct sunlight. Even if he managed to bare it for a while there is no human on Earth who wouldn't be trying to get out once your skin, fat and possibly even muscle was cooking off. Sand monster or no, you'd be trying to find someway out even if it meant possibly tipping the drum.
Still patiently waiting for you to review / breakdown the monster in the miniseries the creature
Sir I believe that’s a Saab, love your stuff much respect
PUTTING THIS IN ALL CAPS CUZ IM HYPED FOR CALLISTO PROTOCOL AND YOUR VIDS EXPLAINING THE ENEMIES IN IT
It's a SAAB not BMW. FWD but yeah, would still be stuck in the sand.
Christ to call out the film for not knowing cars but call a SAAB a BMW 103 times.
Some of the Saab 9-3 convertibles aren't able to drop or raise the roof either when there's a battery problem and did require the ignition key put in the head rests locks- that are surprisingly hard to find! Which led to the odd fun time for some owners who locked their keys in the boot (trunk in burger-english) to end up calling a locksmith because you guessed it, they couldn't access the back seat key.
Course if you're a wasted teenager with a hangover, trying to work out the peculiarities of annoying euro-car quirks its a stretch.
Also this is an old one and a convertible as well so the retracted roof and the mechanisms are between the backseat and the trunk ergo no access via the backseat. However they could have still opened the trunk with the key but try doing that while not walking on the ground.
I always felt like the tendrils were actually piercing the skin and wrapping around stuff beneath. And, their adrenaline kept them from reacting to the pain they were feeling, if they felt any.
Oh this is the best thing to see first thing after camping. :D
Good kills, interesting concepts and that's about it.
Would just like to say, despite the 5% stat, we would know if there were an animal the size of that worm or with those kind of habits. It's really hard to be a large animal that's a completely new species and hide from us. Most discoveries you here about in regards to large oceanic creatures are likely just subspecies which are easily confused as just a mutated version of the original or not even noticed.
I disagree as we fine alot of vary large colony orgains in the nidaerine family fairly often. Most are gigantic filter feeders. That can be hunders of meters long and many deep sea life that we know of has only been stupid at all thanks to ROVs a technology invented in the 1900s . So there are many huge animals we have only resantly encontered
I mean if we just recently saw the first confirmed panther with leucism in the 2013 that roams freely in plain sight I feel like large sea based life form could definitely hide from us. I mean this thing was spotted just walking around not even hiding. And to note all the discoveries I’ve hear of are far from average looking for their species. Like blood red jellyfish or the glass octopus. Or the big fin Squid! Those are massive and look like nothing I’ve ever seen before and only have been confirmed to be spotted 20 times. That’s not a lot compared to the vastness of the world. I remember there was a viral video of everyone freaking out over these things.
@@YCLPM_Art Land animals are far smaller though and easier to hide, the same goes for small sea animals like the Big fin squid. We've known about their existence for over 50 years at this point.
Something like this killer worm, a new species of shark the size of a great white, or a megladon or completely different whale species (not a subspecies) is going to be easily discovered and documented. Those kinds of animals are restricted to very specific areas because of their feeding habits, tolerable temperature zones, and other restrictions. That's what helps scientists basically be authoritative in saying yea they're either extinct or straight up don't exist.
Hiding as a small animal is easy, hiding as a large animal that resembles nothing else is near impossible nowadays.
@@madmachanicest9955 I'm assuming you're reffering too Pyrosome's which are typically semi translucent which of course would make them extremely hard to spot. They also aren't actively hunting down large animals and in reality are thousands upon thousands of smaller free floating tunicates. We've known about them for over a century, recent discoveries have been primarily identifying more specific traits or how deep they exactly go.
Something like a megladon, whale that isn't a subspecies, or killer worm like this would never be able to hide. It's required to live in a specific region due to a variety of biological factors, that specific region would likely be near the surface or coasts, areas where we have explored near everything major and would certainly know about this.
@@YCLPM_Art fyi, you can't have a panther with leucism because panthers are melanistic leopards (or jaguars). it'd be a leopard with leucism.
discovering a member of a species with a color mutation is different from discovering an entire new species, simply due to the numbers involved. A breeding population of a species is, bare minimum, about 500 individuals (any less than that and the species is basically passing time until its extinction thanks to lack of genetic diversity, so we wouldn't consider that a "breeding population"). But with a rare color mutation, the number of animals out there to be found will be much lower. Let's take albinism specifically for instance, which occurs at a rate of 1 in 10,000 births for mammals - that means in a population of 100,000 leopards, there will only be on average 10 albino leopards to be found at any given time. It is _much_ harder to find 1 individual out of 10 than it is to find 1 individual out of 500.
however, i do agree that the deep sea is a different story. there's just so much of the deep sea out there and so little of it that we've observed directly, and deep sea creatures don't venture into shallower waters where they might be found by accident unless they're already dead or dying. I mean, we didn't capture a specimen of the Colossal Squid until, what, the late 80s? It's very easy for creatures living exclusively in the deep sea to elude discovery, even very large ones, because it's just harder for us to look down there and find them.
I've came across this film a few years ago, Similar to the blood beach, maybe even inspired by it. It's an ok movie. The soundtrack at the end hits.
I was thinking it might be inspired by Stephen King's short story The Raft which also got a anthology segment treatment in Creepshow 2. Really similar idea, except in the story the teens are on the water and just separated from the touch-monster by the floor of the raft.
EDIT: Just looked up Blood Beach and that one is really similar too!
Got to say, I enjoy your breakdowns.
hi roanoke, happy friday
