Christian Bale is one of the few actors who can get my attention with his name alone. When he's in a movie, I know that it's gonna be great or he's gonna be the best part of it.
Harry Melling has come SUCH a long way since Dudley Dursley. From The Tragedy of Macbeth, to The Queen's Gambit, and now as Edgar Allen Poe alongside Christian friggin' Bale!
Bale is one of those actors that seems to shed a small piece of himself for each roll, you wonder how much of him there is left at this point. He's an artist.
You said exactly what I was reaching for words for. I have never watched a movie that Christian Bale was in that I did not enjoy. His dedication is top notch!
91 years old, and Robert Duvall is still doing what he loves. What an icon and legend. Crazy to think Boo Radley was 60 years ago. I hope he's got 91 more to go
The only genre he said he'll never work in is romance movies (in one interview he said it's because since When Harry met Sally no one wrote a good script for a romantic (comedy)), so now my dying wish is for someone to write a script for a romance movie good enough for Christian Bale! :D
Now what a plot twist that was. I honestly didn't see that one coming. All of the cast did a phenomenal job. Especially Poe. Harry Melling did a fantastic job. Loved it!
Yes, we do! I am glad Netflix is doing a “The Fall of the House of Usher” miniseries with the people that created The Haunting of Hill House… but I’m shocked there hasn’t been more created out of Poe’s works in particular.
Either it's something unexplainable or just sheer screen presence, Christian Bale is one of a kind. He's a perfect mix of many legendary actors and surely delivers accordingly.

This basically checks all the cinematic boxes for me personally, Bale is one of my favorites, he's versatile, immerses himself into whatever he does, and most importantly, he is BELIEVABLE in whatever period his film is set it...but also the visuals look stunning, the mood is dark and quiet, I honestly cannot wait to take this film in.
The Pale Blue Eye's cinematography just captures the essence of lingering sadness. Seems like the landscapes perfectly adds emphasis to the hollowness of the characters themselves.
I remember seeing Christian Bale in Empire of the sun and being amazed at this young kid's acting ability. Same with DeCaprio in Gilbert Grape. But the best thing is that they both realised their incredible talent as adults and nail every, single, role!
I really appreciate the attention to historical accuracy. Few people realize that in the 1800s people could only whisper or shout. It wasn't until 1903 when William Speaker invented the Voice Regulation Treatment that people could merely speak at what we now consider to be a "normal volume" (aka our "inside voices"), something people today take for granted.
Just finished watching this movie. Harry Melling is phenomenal 👏 I loved the character of Poe, his fragility and depth. The ending is beautiful. It’s great to see an actor from the HP saga evolving and becoming great. Bravo Harry, you are the true magician here. Ps I couldn’t recognize Timothy Spall! 😳
To see Christian Bale and Daniel Day Lewis in a film together would be beyond insane!!! The two as method actors of their caliber would be off the charts. NETFLIX make it happen!!!!
beginning with his starring role in Steven Spielberg‘s “Empire of the Sun” when he was only 13 years old, this 48-year-old English actor has indeed made a huge impact in the world of acting... ❤️
@@melanierhianna Nah, he is English, he said it himself a couple of times(once I he said it while correting someone who said he was Welsh) his parents are English, but he was born in Whales...
It's a joy to watch Harry Melling act his way up the ladder. Most will only know him as Harry Potter's fat cousin, but he proves time and again what a fantastic actor he is. He is really the only one of the young actors in the Harry Potter series who has really been able to break free from his role. Of course, he benefits from the fact that he has lost an extreme amount of weight and thus has a completely different physical presence, but he also simply acts well. So far, he has had rather short appearances in films, but among them were brilliant performances like in "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs". Now he seems to be taking on a leading role, which pleases me very much!
@@OnlyFacts662 I don't think you understand what we are writing about here. We are all aware that an actor plays roles. Just because someone does it doesn't mean that he/she does it very well, let alone gets offered roles of any kind or passes auditions. Whether these roles are good and require the actor to show all his/her skills is another matter. With Herry Melling, everything is (slowly) coming together: he is playing really well, he is gradually getting bigger and better roles where he can show what he is made of. That's far from a given, because there are dozens and dozens of actors out there who are all terrific, some of whom have gone through acting schools of the very highest level and still don't get roles in film and television and maybe not even in theatre. There are no guarantees in the film, television and theatre landscape. One's own ability alone is not enough to get roles. This is not the actor's fault, because it is due to the sheer amount of actors there are; there is an oversupply. You have to be lucky to be in the right place at the right time to get a foothold in the industry. Even if you are already an established actor, that doesn't mean that roles will come to you and you don't have to worry about it. Even seasoned actors still run to auditions. Have you ever thought about that? The world is not as simple as you imagine it to be!
Christian Bale is probably my favorite actor, and I love Edgar Allen Poe's stories and gothic mystery so this looks right up my alley! And Scully is in it too
Omg, that twist in the end! Very heart breaking and wonderful slow burn murder mystery thriller! I totally enjoyed the movie, definitely worth watching.
Had to explain to my teenage daughter who Robert Duvall was as we watched this together. I teared up telling her about this epic American actor. This was a great film, so good to see Netflix doing some serious film work.
That Harry Melling guy is so talented. I remember watching him in Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Devill All The Time and thinking, man this guy is great at acting! Proud for him.
If you are about to watch the movie and looking for comments. Yes, watch it. If you like mystery movies, this movie is a really, really good choice for you.
You know what you're gonna get with Christian Bale. A bloody good performance. Also love Edward Norton. And Sean Penn. Those 3 in a movie together please. No brainer
This is a brilliant film. Christian Bale's performance was great; and the actor playing Edgar Allan Poe was outstanding. Moving; thoughtful with a good storyline.
Very excited about this! I love historical dramas, mysteries and spooky stuff and this blends together so many of my favorite things. I also live only about 10 minutes away from Old Economy Villiage in Ambridge, where some scenes for this were shot. Super interested in spotting them in the film! 😁
Henry Melling needs to be the next greatest actor of our time. He’s been climbing that rope just like Robert Pattinson. They’re both going to be icons one day.
Such a thrilling movie , when last half an hour was left , I thought the story was finished but there was more and the ending gave me jitters . Absolutely loved this movie
Everyone talking about Christian Bale, I’m excited to see Harry Melling’s performance. Ever since his role in 30 Days of Night, he’s been a favorite of mine.
I reckon all the great actors have been cast under one umbrella in this film. Bale is mesmerising, as always and Duvall simply magnificent. No need for me to re-list the actors in this film but Toby Jones is one I have always loved. An actor I believe who is understated in his elegance. And as for Gillian Anderson, Timothy Spall et La these guys are always in their element no matter the story or characters they play. True A Listers all of them, and bravo to their dedication to Film. This particular story is played with such a beautiful quiet strength. I’d love to see Gillian playing Susan in my novel Soft in Flowers. I’m sure she personifies the character really well.
@@jroc1919 That's not "formal". That's "learning on the job". There's a massive difference between the two. Namely financial. You pay to have to first. You get paid on the second.
Yep, he's what one calls a natural, a born actor. As far as acting is concerned, I do believe that the best ones require no formal training. For a very simple reason: Acting is basically mirror work, it's a work of mirror like empathy. Some people are just natural chameleonic empaths, born mirrors, as it's very easy for them to channel any kind of energy, and make any story their own, that's what makes an actor. If you have to acquire it through training you don't have it, and you can't actually acquire it. You can be born with it and perfect it with formal training, but if you are not born a mirror, there is just no amount of formal training that can make you into one. Most people in the industry are either phonies or people who have the inclination but are just trying; Bale is one of the very few who was actually born with the gift, a born mirror, an empath of the deepest most connected order. He is every person, and every person is him, he feels everybody like it is him, because it is. Deeply connected to the source of everything born mirrors are. That is not something that you can acquire through any sort of training, formal or otherwise. You are either born with it, or you're not. It's a channeling job, actors are mediums, mirrors and mediums, all artists are.
Looks captivating. I love Christian Bale I think he's one of the best actors out there, completely versatile. I'm also glad to see that Harry Melling seems to have a very important role, he's really talented! I saw him in The Queen's Gambit and in The Devil All The Time (GREAT movie and it's so underrated). He derserves more recognition. I can't wait to see this movie, I really like this kind of dark, gloomy ambience. The aesthetic of this just looks gorgeous and the plot seems interesting as well. I bet they worked hard on this one, I'm looking forward to watch this :)
Not so crazy when you realize that Harry Melling attended drama school, and is a classically trained actor now. Which is why he is objectively the best actor of the “Harry Potter” kids.
Wow this looks so cool! Harry Melling was great in The Devil All The Time on Netflix. And Christian Bale is great in literally every role I’ve seen him play. Incredible actors. Can’t wait to see this! The cinematography looks beautiful!
@@user-tl8dq4cu8c if that’s all you care about, go watch willow or the rings of power. you can’t expect the cast of every movie to look like the population of modern los angeles.
I can’t even begin to describe my elation with this. Bale. Poe. Gothic, macabre setting. I’ll go on record and say this will be one of my favorite films of all time.
The book is incredible. I would also suggest Matthew Pearle’s “The Poe Shadow,” Jason Martin’s “Witches in the Morgue,” and Harold Schechter’s “The Tell-Tale Corpse.”
I was going to watch this for the cast alone, but having seen what they’re going for here, this looks like it checks all the boxes for me. Can’t wait to check it out.
In my opinion underrated movie. What a fabulous acting, not only from the Bale side but even from Melling. Well done! Minimum vote 8/10. Very good crime/mystery movie, horror not at all really. Worth watching definitely.
Why is every Scott Cooper/Christian Bale project so criminally underrated?! This movie and Out of the Furnace are 2 amazing movies. They’re not perfect but defiantly worth _some_ hype 🤔
Another piece of cinematic artwork. Wonderful performances with Christian Bale leading the charge with twists and turns at every corner leading right down to the suspenseful last half hour. Oh, the surprises that await first-time viewers, I envy you!!!!!!!
Harry Melling and Christian Bale, star as a great partnership in this really emotive, chilling and tense thriller. With eerily ghostly music, superb cast and a twisted story with an unexpected ending. Costumes, setting and cinematography are on point. Absolutely fantastic. Robert Duvall at 91 still shows he has got what it takes and delivers effortlessly. Is it a witch hunt? Is it revenge, a cover up, or satanic cult practices? Highly recommend watching. Melling and Bale deserve Oscars for their roles here. Since Harry Potter movies, Melling has become an outstanding actor, especially his poetic role in The Ballad Of Buster Scraggs movie, and he just gets better and better. Superb actor.
One of those times when I'm glad I'm already subscribed to Netflix so I won't miss it. Regardless of what some folks say they always manage to keep me entertained with good shows.

Exactly! I was looking for a comment about him, working along this great cast!

He’s incredible, he and Daniel Day-Lewis and Denzel , imo are in a league of their own
Reminds me of when Peter Sellers once said, when he was a guest on the Muppet Show, "There used to be a me, but I had it surgically removed".
Hostiles was incredible and touching
Cool, like a horcrux
I wonder if this makes him immortal
91 years old, and Robert Duvall is still doing what he loves. What an icon and legend. Crazy to think Boo Radley was 60 years ago. I hope he's got 91 more to go
He was a handful on set. Lol.
He's one of the greats! He's great in everything he does, but he was at his best in Lonesome Dove.
I just wish he’d done more westerns
Yeah, he's looking good for 90. He doesn't look a day over 79.
Question... is this movie racist? Because I haven't seen a single black person or people of other ethnicity in it.
An absolute gem of a movie. Plot, cast, story, dialogue, cinematography and above all performances.
Climax twist is amazing
Christian Bale is hands down the most versatile actor in the industry. From comedy to drama to sci-fi to thriller to horror - he does it all.
The only genre he said he'll never work in is romance movies (in one interview he said it's because since When Harry met Sally no one wrote a good script for a romantic (comedy)), so now my dying wish is for someone to write a script for a romance movie good enough for Christian Bale! :D
Right? He was funny as hell in Amsterdam & sooo intense in Hostiles.
Gary Oldman is up there right alongside Bale.
I’d say leo is
i think Tom Hardy is more versatile than Christian Bale
The era, the setting, the cold, the sadness, the actors, the feel. My type of film
(Thanks for the likes, thats wild)
This a perfect time of the year to dive into it!
100%
'Xactly !!!

No need for me to re-list the actors in this film but Toby Jones is one I have always loved. An actor I believe who is understated in his elegance. And as for Gillian Anderson, Timothy Spall et La these guys are always in their element no matter the story or characters they play. True A Listers all of them, and bravo to their dedication to Film. This particular story is played with such a beautiful quiet strength. I’d love to see Gillian playing Susan in my novel Soft in Flowers. I’m sure she personifies the character really well.
Love seeing Scott Cooper continuing down the horror path
I love the fact that bale has no formal training as an actor. Just incredible. Pure talent.
@@jroc1919 That's not "formal". That's "learning on the job".
There's a massive difference between the two. Namely financial.
You pay to have to first. You get paid on the second.
He’s like a child prodigy, pure talent.
Yep, he's what one calls a natural, a born actor. As far as acting is concerned, I do believe that the best ones require no formal training. For a very simple reason: Acting is basically mirror work, it's a work of mirror like empathy. Some people are just natural chameleonic empaths, born mirrors, as it's very easy for them to channel any kind of energy, and make any story their own, that's what makes an actor. If you have to acquire it through training you don't have it, and you can't actually acquire it. You can be born with it and perfect it with formal training, but if you are not born a mirror, there is just no amount of formal training that can make you into one. Most people in the industry are either phonies or people who have the inclination but are just trying; Bale is one of the very few who was actually born with the gift, a born mirror, an empath of the deepest most connected order. He is every person, and every person is him, he feels everybody like it is him, because it is. Deeply connected to the source of everything born mirrors are. That is not something that you can acquire through any sort of training, formal or otherwise. You are either born with it, or you're not. It's a channeling job, actors are mediums, mirrors and mediums, all artists are.
Looks captivating. I love Christian Bale I think he's one of the best actors out there, completely versatile. I'm also glad to see that Harry Melling seems to have a very important role, he's really talented! I saw him in The Queen's Gambit and in The Devil All The Time (GREAT movie and it's so underrated). He derserves more recognition. I can't wait to see this movie, I really like this kind of dark, gloomy ambience. The aesthetic of this just looks gorgeous and the plot seems interesting as well. I bet they worked hard on this one, I'm looking forward to watch this :)
Crazy to think that Dudley is not only playing more serious roles than his Harry Potter co-stars, he's also a better actor.
Not so crazy when you realize that Harry Melling attended drama school, and is a classically trained actor now. Which is why he is objectively the best actor of the “Harry Potter” kids.
I haven't seen any of his other stuff, but he killed it in Buster Scruggs.
Brilliant movie. Those looking for a decent murder-mystery movie should watch this.
Wow this looks so cool! Harry Melling was great in The Devil All The Time on Netflix. And Christian Bale is great in literally every role I’ve seen him play. Incredible actors. Can’t wait to see this! The cinematography looks beautiful!
I just watched Amsterdam, and that was one of the finest performances Christian Bale has given yet. He's still the best actor in the game.
Such a breath of fresh air. Love the stark cold imagery, time period, Gothic style. Harry Melling is riveting. Great casting for Poe.
excited to see more of harry melling. could definitely see him becoming a big name, and not just for his older roles
for me i don't watch racist movies that excluding black people and you should do the same it 2023 time to change
@@user-tl8dq4cu8c if that’s all you care about, go watch willow or the rings of power. you can’t expect the cast of every movie to look like the population of modern los angeles.
@@user-tl8dq4cu8c lol sounds like your the racist. You hate seeing white people in movies, we get it
@@user-tl8dq4cu8c that's the dumbest think I've read in my entire life
@@user-tl8dq4cu8cpathetic
I got to say, Harry Melling seems to be doing it right in regards to becoming one of the great character actors of our time.
i was pleasantly surprised to see Dudley back on the screen :D
I can’t even begin to describe my elation with this. Bale. Poe. Gothic, macabre setting. I’ll go on record and say this will be one of my favorite films of all time.
The cinematography alone it's worth a watch
Agreed. And great actors. I almost couldn't see Gillian Anderson.
If Christian Bale accepted to be in this movie, it has to be a great movie, and judging by the trailer, it is.
Well he also accepted to be in "Love and thunder". I quite enjoyed this movie tho
Sorry but it isn't a great movie. Even Bale's good performance can't help such a slow and boring film
He’s friends with the director Scott Cooper, they’ve made films together and they’ve always been excellent.
how disappointed are you after the watch ? :)
Harry Melling is such an intriguing actor! I love everything he's done and his range is phenomenal.
Doesn't matter if the movie is good or bad Christian Bale never disappoint in his performance
Trailers from Netflix come out more often than I do on the street ...
Harry Melling...wow...👏👏👏👏its like he isnt acting but living...what a performance..enchanting
It's amazing how Christian Bale has evolved with every new film. For some reason I believe his best movies are yet to come.....
Not a bad Netflix film “The Pale Blue Eye” held my interest the entire film. Well done to all involved!
I must say , the acting was something else that I had never witnessed somewhere else.
A must watch no matter the movie preference .
With enough patience a suspect will offer. And oh boy! We didn't see it coming.
The twist got me. I wasn't expecting it. Good movie. Well acted. Im going to watch it again knowing the twist.
The book is incredible. I would also suggest Matthew Pearle’s “The Poe Shadow,” Jason Martin’s “Witches in the Morgue,” and Harold Schechter’s “The Tell-Tale Corpse.”
I was going to watch this for the cast alone, but having seen what they’re going for here, this looks like it checks all the boxes for me. Can’t wait to check it out.
it makes me happy that Harry Melling is in so many awesome things right now.
In my opinion underrated movie. What a fabulous acting, not only from the Bale side but even from Melling. Well done! Minimum vote 8/10. Very good crime/mystery movie, horror not at all really. Worth watching definitely.
Bale is one of the few actors that into out of my way to watch his movies. The man rarely misses. I mean if he even misses
Excellent! Lot's of twists,turns,surprise ending!! A must watch thriller! Great casting!
Finally Netflix! a fantastic movie. More like this please.
This looks amazing and Christian Bale makes it ever better. I can't wait to watch it!
Why is every Scott Cooper/Christian Bale project so criminally underrated?! This movie and Out of the Furnace are 2 amazing movies. They’re not perfect but defiantly worth _some_ hype 🤔
He deserves the Oscar. Is the most versatile actor in the actual industry and he has always bring a powerful interpretation.
He won
Classic movie 🍿 worth the watch Netflix did something dope
Another piece of cinematic artwork. Wonderful performances with Christian Bale leading the charge with twists and turns at every corner leading right down to the suspenseful last half hour. Oh, the surprises that await first-time viewers, I envy you!!!!!!!
Love the atmosphere and the setting of this. Reminds me of Taboo... shame that there was no second season.
Wow--the credits at the end are maybe the most exciting part of this great trailer--what a line-up!
Thanks for commenting 🎉text me for your reward☝️✅….
Harry Melling and Christian Bale, star as a great partnership in this really emotive, chilling and tense thriller. With eerily ghostly music, superb cast and a twisted story with an unexpected ending. Costumes, setting and cinematography are on point. Absolutely fantastic. Robert Duvall at 91 still shows he has got what it takes and delivers effortlessly. Is it a witch hunt? Is it revenge, a cover up, or satanic cult practices? Highly recommend watching. Melling and Bale deserve Oscars for their roles here. Since Harry Potter movies, Melling has become an outstanding actor, especially his poetic role in The Ballad Of Buster Scraggs movie, and he just gets better and better. Superb actor.
If you wanna see more photos of “West Point” from the film, they filmed at Westminster College, PA.
One of those times when I'm glad I'm already subscribed to Netflix so I won't miss it. Regardless of what some folks say they always manage to keep me entertained with good shows.
Their shows are often good but their movies until very recently are usually hit or miss. They're stepping up the game though.
@@mikexxxmilly what shows exactly? i dont remember single show that was good in last 2 years. They should focus more on making good content and less lgbtq propaganda
