I thought the death of the killers in The Strangers sequel was very satisfying. What made the first movie both great and disturbing is that they got away with it making the second flick an awesome conclusion. The audience (at lest the normal ones) wanted payback and actually got it! It is too bad that the Jaws: The Revenge writers did not include the reason for Helen's supposed psychic connection. In the book, the family is cursed by a Voodoo doctor which kina/sorta connects her to the shark (I know, it's still stupid☺) but they, for some reason, left that out of the movie making a bad movie worse.
I 100% agree. The way the movie started off felt like a retread. With the kid drowning in the pool I figured it was just a matter of time before they were all dead. Being saved was a super satisfying twist imo. And they barely survived in the end giving it a down to earth feel in the other direction from the first movie. Although the very end was kind of goofy because there's no way that any survived so the only option now is a retcon or supernatural explanation.why can't horror movies just let series end and reboot if they want more money?
I think the Strangers simply being humans and possibly any one of us is what makes it so scary. And being vulnerable goes with showing that. I didnt want three Jason’s. I wanted a movie where the guy who served me coffee may be spending his nights killing people for kicks.
Sympathetic for the kid who killed a hamster with a hammer due to being teased? Nah. The only moment Freddy ever looked sympathetic was in the remake where it appeared that he was actually innocent and that was quickly dashed.
With Welcome to Raccoon City, the moment I saw a lot of the characters my only thoughts were "They don't look that way (not just Leon, but Wesker, Chris, just almost the whole STARS group) and nor is Leon a bumbling idiot." Now I will give the actors some credit, they did what they could with the script and it was okay, but to completely turn one of the games' most resourceful badasses into a "OH DAMN SARGE I CAN'T DO THIS! WHAT'S THAT MONSTER THERE?! A HOY A DOY!" Was just the shitiest thing to do to him. If you're gonna make a movie based on the game series actually stick to who the characters truly are and not make them into your Fantasy Reality OC characters of them
That's part of the issue I have with a lot of adaptations. While a perfect one for one take is impractical, it seems a lot of directors are more concerned with putting their mark/stamp/spin on an IP than the IP itself, thus missing the point of doing an adaptation where fans of the IP are presumably your target audience. You end up with movies/shows that seem more like original stories with a thin coat of IP paint slapped on for brand recognition. If you're not going to give due respect to what you're adapting, then you shouldn't do an adaptation. As soon as I saw an interview clip where the director said something to the effect of "this isn't the original Leon S. Kennedy, this is my take on Leon S. Kennedy", I knew the movie was in trouble (that and the CGI looked laughable in the trailers).
How in the world do you believe that Freddy's Dead was trying to paint him as a sympathetic figure? The "bullying" scene, he is literally killing an animal for fun. His entire back story was showing that he was a sociopath.
High Tension’s Aja had to change it up because it’s almost a direct rip off of Dean Koontz Intensity. In fact I read Koontz’ negative take on the obvious plagiarism that Aja committed. And that Aja vaguely acknowledged similarities between the two but only in the “beginnings”. 🙄 The whole time I was watching High Tension I was frowning because I felt I had seen the movie before. I had. When I watched the BRILLIANT acting of John C McGinley’s performance of a MUCH better killer. But I didn’t figure that out until I got home and went to imdb and their forums ( oh how I miss those - where you could go talk films much like here ). And that’s when someone answered what a bunch of people were wondering. I still love watching High Tension, but I stop before Marie walks up to Alex near the end. Just wanting to believe the twist never happened.
Who would have guessed that an unreliable narrator was unreliable? It's almost as if taking the word of a crazy person leaves massive gaps in plausibility.
Being completely honest, Apollo 18 is one of my all time favorite horror movies. I know the rock monsters seem kind of underwhelming, but the final scene with them gives me the creeps every time. If that’s not a win then I don’t know what is.
While I think Friday the 13th series actually self-destructed when Jason, ahem, "took" Manhattan. I will give you the point that Jason Goes To Hell is a dumpster fire. However, it is still entertaining as.. Hell🔥🔥😈
I prefer to imagine that the end of high tension would have gone on to explain that she hadn't actually been the killer but that the last however much of the film was some time after the fact. That the killer was never found and the other girl had been killed but that she had been painted as the killer. That it was either a break down on her part that she was locked up for the murders and didn't have the wherewithal to say otherwise having experienced such horrors and lost someone clearly so important to her. We know the impossibility of it all and it was meant to be obvious to us the viewers as it would be to anyone that actually investigated the case which would point to a larger conspiracy of inaction by the police for either fear or compensation, if whomever was a well known though unspoken Jason Vorhees type, or that he was someone serving a larger group like the butcher from the Midnight Meat Train, or those people rounding up victims in Hostel. If the film concluded on this or, were to be explained in a sequel movie or tie in in-universe film, that would save it.

It's only just come out and I've not seen it (for the reason I'm about to give) but last voyage of the demeter- dracula is just a giant screaming bat. When I heard about the movie I was enthralled. It's a brilliant idea, taking a small untouched skipped part of the dracula book which has some of the best horror moments despite only being a single chapter, if even that, and turning it into a full movie. It could give such a good chance to see dracula as a cruel monster, stalking the crew, slowly taking them out one by one, showing off his powers as he appears and disappears in shadows, crawls up walls to avoid being seen. Is stabbed only to smile as the knife goes right through him like described in the book. There was so much potential, it could have been one of the best dracula movies in decades. And than the trailer dropped and there starring at me was a giant ugly bat monster. There in the trailer was generic, giant screaming monster that lacked anything and everything that makes dracula and vampires in general fun. For me, the movie was dead the moment that trailer dropped
The young characters in Texas Chainsaw Massacre were the biggest issue. They were so unlikeable! The only one that wasn;t totally awful was the blonde girl who died first
I could live with Michael disappearing at the end of Halloween kills But the fact that he murdered ALL OF THEM after being savagely beaten and shot multiple times That pisses me off IMMENSELY They made them stupid for no reason other than to make a sub par 3rd film That was just bad writing
My question about Jason Goes To Hell is why didn't the f.b.i do that sooner?, they easily could have sent in a tactical s.w.a.t team armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers after Jason Lives to turn him into swiss cheese, but movies have to movie
Am I the only one to think that in Haloween Kills, they intended to turn Myers into a metaphorical "fear" that creeps into everyone, no matter what ? I experienced the end of this movie as such : they do killed the real Michael, but his impact on Haddonfield and on its inhabitants will live forever. The final scene, where he still manages to kill Karen was, to me, supposed to be an image on how he still managed to "kill" her being. Even though he's dead, she would never stop to think of him and to be afraid of what lurks in the dark. I thought this was a real good way to end a "Halloween" movie 43 years after the original ... until Halloween ends came out.
I absolutely loved Rawhead Rex when I was a kid, but I think I was the only person that saw because whenever I mentioned nobody else seemed to know what I was talking about!
"Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" - - I thought for sure Alice Cooper was Freddy's Uncle. You said Step-Father and on IMDB it says he played his Father?! I am so confused. 😂 I thought his Uncle raised Freddy and abused him?
Welcome to racoon city was a fucking joke and it makes me so mad cause I was so excited to see that movie. Leon is my favorite character and they made him look like a idiot. I mean the dude single handedly took out thousands of zombies and ganadoes by himself and was a secret service member who worked directly under the president. Fucking waste of a good movie plot
I might be alone but High Tension's twist didn't bother me one bit, certainly not as much as it bothers WhatCulture. Is that a requirement of working for this channel, you MUST hate High Tension (Switchblade Romance)?
First, it was the invincibility of the trio in The Strangers that made the movie just boring torture-porn. Next you forgot the self-destruct in Wolf Creek when the protagonist didn't kill the slasher when she had the glaringly obvious chance to do so... It ruined the rest of the movie
Then why should we care. It was all a dream, fantasy or illusion "twists" are even worse cliches. The hate is valid. The ending has no rational explanation other than it was tacked on to avoid the movie being a complete copy of Robin Cook's Intensity.
@@uiscepreston well that comparison depends on the viewers minds imo. To me, as a viewer, the movie is SO OUTLANDISH that you either believe her or call her ass out during it. You can go either way. Is it the most cleverest of “twists”?? Absolutely not. But there are FAR WORSE than this one imo. I just think most see it as a big waste of time. I don’t. Also, we’re not supposed to care. We’re supposed to be entertained.
Because the ending of that movie was even more nonsensical than Jason Goes To Hell's. Jason gets hit with toxic waste and then... there's this kid laying where he used to be? One that clearly isn't Jason as a child. What? Why? There's no coming back from that ending.
Surprised I had to scroll as far down as I did to find comments about the sound quality lol. The videos lately have been pretty annoying but ignorable in that department but this one was just atrocious
That was the dumbest take I've heard for High Tension. That movie was good and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thought the twist in the end was great! Sure they could have done it better but to say you didn't understand or it ruined the movie is absurd. The ones that didnt like it are just upset that in the end it was the woman that was the murdering crazy psychopath perv instead of it being an actual man.
Or it could be because we were made to root for Marie the entire time only to discover that most of the movie was imagined. We have no idea what actually happened. If there was no man, who was she chasing? Was there ever a chase? It's asks too many questions and supplies few answers.
On of the killings required her to like pick of a body for a long stretch and carry it. There is a video exposing why it's nonsensical. Upon a first viewing I had a moment where it was absolutely not believable. It wasn't an awful movie because of that though just kind of makes you think
The main problem is the 99% of the movie was stolen from a Robin Cook novel. And when Aja was told he needed to change something to avoid him and the studio getting sued, he came up with the most absurd, illogical and stupid ending possible to try and distance the film from Cook's Intensity. There is absolutely no way she could be the killer. Not even in an "it was all in her mind" stupidity. There are times when she would have to be chasing herself in the presence of other characters that can see both the killer and her. Back on the IMDB movie boards, people tried for years and failed to come up with valid reasons on how the ending works. It simply does not. Robin Cook even said that taking the filmmakers to court and further exposing how moronic the film is would only embarrass the thieves and give them and their crap movie undue publicity. You are more than welcome to try and explain how the ending makes a lick of sense. But we have heard it all before and can shoot down any claims. It simply has no rationale. Ever.
@@uiscepreston NOT Robin Cook. Dean Koontz. But the rest of your argument is completely sound! I just made a pretty similar one. It’s a direct rip off of Intensity. The mini series is so great because John C McGinley is diabolical! And it has a great twist of its own that actually can work. And all of it following Koontz work but listing him in the credits. Truly that is all Aja would’ve had to do. His movie is great for being a rip off.
I could not disagree with you more. The strangers was so stupid because normal people seemed invincible. It was unwatchable bad. The sequel made The Killers human which made it far more interesting
It's utter nonsense. The whole movie is rendered pointless because we have no clue what actually happened. It's all cast into doubt. All we know is the Marie is nuts. The end.
@@lonellfletcher HOW? If she was the kidnapper the whole time, who was she chasing? Was she chasing anyone or did none of that happen? If Marie was the killer, why was the house broken into? Was it broken into? Everything has to be called into question.
@@Bluesit32 exactly, there probably was no break in or a car chase, its the fantasy of a crazy woman, its the narrative she formed in her head because she repressed shes the killer. its a great movie imo, but i can see that some of the scenes seem illogical, but its mostly not what happened. not every movie has to be straightforward.
Honestly, I love what Welcome to RC did with Leon. I am well passed giving a damn about gamer sensibilities and the pearls they clutch at every little thing that doesn't go their way. Now, dgmw, I love Leon in the games. 2 is my favourite of the series. However, I found the bastardising of Leon wonderful and I will always celebrate anything that pisses off anyone who is so easily offended.
Whatculture Horror really, really hates Haute Tension/High Tension/Switchblade Romance, doesn't it? I mean, the twist is silly, but it's not worth harping about as much as this channel always does
You are never supposed to sympathize with Freddy there. A monster being abused does not make them become sympathetic. If you felt bad for him because his daddy beat him, you may not get Freddy.
I mean, Freddy is grinning when his foster dad beats him and properly kills him with a straight razor. After the kids mock him, little friend kills the class hamster with a hammer. Nobody feels bad for him.
Jaws The Revenge self destructed as soon at it was green lit.
I couldn’t get through trying to read a synopsis of Jaws 4 without laughing hysterically
I thought the death of the killers in The Strangers sequel was very satisfying. What made the first movie both great and disturbing is that they got away with it making the second flick an awesome conclusion. The audience (at lest the normal ones) wanted payback and actually got it!
It is too bad that the Jaws: The Revenge writers did not include the reason for Helen's supposed psychic connection. In the book, the family is cursed by a Voodoo doctor which kina/sorta connects her to the shark (I know, it's still stupid☺) but they, for some reason, left that out of the movie making a bad movie worse.
I agree. It felt wrong that the pair never once injured the Strangers in the original.
I 100% agree. The way the movie started off felt like a retread. With the kid drowning in the pool I figured it was just a matter of time before they were all dead. Being saved was a super satisfying twist imo. And they barely survived in the end giving it a down to earth feel in the other direction from the first movie. Although the very end was kind of goofy because there's no way that any survived so the only option now is a retcon or supernatural explanation.why can't horror movies just let series end and reboot if they want more money?
Why does the audio sound like it was recorded while dude was in the bathroom
I think the Strangers simply being humans and possibly any one of us is what makes it so scary. And being vulnerable goes with showing that. I didnt want three Jason’s. I wanted a movie where the guy who served me coffee may be spending his nights killing people for kicks.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 had me laughing.. the only scene I could stand was the bus massacre.. Those lines were just hilarious!
Sympathetic for the kid who killed a hamster with a hammer due to being teased? Nah. The only moment Freddy ever looked sympathetic was in the remake where it appeared that he was actually innocent and that was quickly dashed.

Nightmare on elm street self destructed in no. 4 when Freddy is resurrected by a dog pissing fire on the floor.
Yep
That was awesome!
How in the world do you believe that Freddy's Dead was trying to paint him as a sympathetic figure? The "bullying" scene, he is literally killing an animal for fun. His entire back story was showing that he was a sociopath.
It must be hard to make all these videos all the time they are running out of stuff to pump out.
The third act of “The strangers: Prey at night” Is what made it good. Everything before it was just terrible.
I actually like Nightmare on Elm Street the final nightmare. Watched it as a kid in the 90s. Loved it back then and its pure nostalgia for me.
High Tension’s Aja had to change it up because it’s almost a direct rip off of Dean Koontz Intensity. In fact I read Koontz’ negative take on the obvious plagiarism that Aja committed. And that Aja vaguely acknowledged similarities between the two but only in the “beginnings”. 🙄

The monster reveal in Apollo 18. It immediately goes from decent found footage horror to unintentional comedy.
Being completely honest, Apollo 18 is one of my all time favorite horror movies. I know the rock monsters seem kind of underwhelming, but the final scene with them gives me the creeps every time. If that’s not a win then I don’t know what is.
Halloween Kills is so dumb but so fun. Great popcorn movie.
Fucking superman Myers lol. It was great.
It’s completely dumb. But I fail to see the fun, lol…
While I think Friday the 13th series actually self-destructed when Jason, ahem, "took" Manhattan. I will give you the point that Jason Goes To Hell is a dumpster fire. However, it is still entertaining as.. Hell🔥🔥😈
They did my guy Leon wrong as hell. As a fan of ALL of the resident evil games, that was disrespectful.
You'd think they'd try a little harder with the Most Popular Character in the entire franchise.
Seriously Chris is a _distant_ second at best.
I prefer to imagine that the end of high tension would have gone on to explain that she hadn't actually been the killer but that the last however much of the film was some time after the fact.

Watching those "From the Depths" clips all I can think is, "Plumber... telegram... flowers... candygram... I'm only a dolphin ma'am."

I refuse to see that resident evil movie. But I did hear a few things about it. Like how Wesker is a total buffoon. I didn’t know that about Leon tho.
As bad as the Netflix version was, it's still better than the "Do your thing, cuz" one. Also, Michael Myers was also attacked with an clothes iron.
"The death of Pin-up girl"
No, not really
I blame the Halloween Kills ending on the studio. "WE GOTTA MAKE A SEQUEL. Don't kill Michael."
I actually like the fact that Freddy's past is explored in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare."
Great video!
Audio on this is very annoying and tinny, echos back and headache inducing.
Was this video literally phoned in? 😋
Good video, but why does it sound so weird?
They couldn’t even get Leon Kennedy’s hair right 🙄
Dewey Riley’s death in Scream 5 should have been on here. He of all people should have known to go for the fucking head 🙄
I'm trying gnto forget halloween ends exist
The young characters in Texas Chainsaw Massacre were the biggest issue. They were so unlikeable! The only one that wasn;t totally awful was the blonde girl who died first
I could live with Michael disappearing at the end of Halloween kills
But the fact that he murdered ALL OF THEM after being savagely beaten and shot multiple times
That pisses me off IMMENSELY
They made them stupid for no reason other than to make a sub par 3rd film
That was just bad writing
Hiring Jamie Lee Curtis, since she's said horror is stupid and pointless and how she hates the genre
In your intro, I like how “these pictures” sounds like “ these bitches” 😆😆
My question about Jason Goes To Hell is why didn't the f.b.i do that sooner?, they easily could have sent in a tactical s.w.a.t team armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers after Jason Lives to turn him into swiss cheese, but movies have to movie
Because nobody thought he was real until he went through Manhattan.
The priest on raw head rex deserves a. Oscar.
Could the next list possibly be "10 Movies That AREN'T 'Jaws: The Revenge'"? Seems to be popping up on here a lot lately.
Am I the only one to think that in Haloween Kills, they intended to turn Myers into a metaphorical "fear" that creeps into everyone, no matter what ?

I thought this was a real good way to end a "Halloween" movie 43 years after the original ... until Halloween ends came out.
Jaws the Revenge was awful. The shark freaking followed an airplane to the Bahamas.
Never expected to hear a Minoru Suzuki reference on this particular channel, but here we are. It was a pleasant surprise lol
This was a cool video!
Newest texas chainsaw (2022) might be one of the worst movies ive ever sat through
Was this recorded in a bathroom stall?
I hear it 😂
As bad as they made Leon, they also did Wesker dirty too.
I absolutely loved Rawhead Rex when I was a kid, but I think I was the only person that saw because whenever I mentioned nobody else seemed to know what I was talking about!
It's a great film, and the monster's appearance didn't matter to me at all.
"Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" - - I thought for sure Alice Cooper was Freddy's Uncle. You said Step-Father and on IMDB it says he played his Father?! I am so confused. 😂 I thought his Uncle raised Freddy and abused him?
I think Jason goes to hell might have been the first (and only?) Movie I've watched from the series....
Halloween Kills is awesome. Gets better every time I watch it.
Great white sharks have been seen and tracked in every ocean including the Bahamas
Welcome to racoon city was a fucking joke and it makes me so mad cause I was so excited to see that movie. Leon is my favorite character and they made him look like a idiot. I mean the dude single handedly took out thousands of zombies and ganadoes by himself and was a secret service member who worked directly under the president. Fucking waste of a good movie plot
I don't think these guys watch the same version of Freddy's Dead that I did
Jason goes to hell is the worst of the Friday the 13th series. Yes worse than a new beginning AND takes Manhattan.

Oh this list just made miss Jules and Ash soooo much 😢
Omfgggggg will y’all stop with the High Tension hate!
We are listening to the musings of a CRAZY WOMAN. The whole film is her fantasy!
Then why should we care. It was all a dream, fantasy or illusion "twists" are even worse cliches. The hate is valid. The ending has no rational explanation other than it was tacked on to avoid the movie being a complete copy of Robin Cook's Intensity.
@@uiscepreston well that comparison depends on the viewers minds imo. To me, as a viewer, the movie is SO OUTLANDISH that you either believe her or call her ass out during it. You can go either way.

Dude did you record the VO on one of those wax cylinders they used before vinyl records were a thing? A $10 store brand mic would've sounded better.
Jason Goes to Hell isn't actually a Friday 13th film. It's a Jason film only hence why there's no continuation from Jason Takes Manhattan.

I blame the badness on the rushed production and offscreen drama between the studios and the director.
Hey I liked strangers prey at night Texas chainsaw massacre 2022. And halloween kills as well as high tension we entertaining too
I could not disagree with you more. The strangers was so stupid because normal people seemed invincible. It was unwatchable bad. The sequel made The Killers human which made it far more interesting
something tells me you didn't understand quite well High tension and it's plot twist
It's masterpiece
It's utter nonsense. The whole movie is rendered pointless because we have no clue what actually happened. It's all cast into doubt. All we know is the Marie is nuts. The end.
@@Bluesit32 that's what happened. Marie went nuts and killed everyone. How hard is that to understand?
@@lonellfletcher HOW? If she was the kidnapper the whole time, who was she chasing? Was she chasing anyone or did none of that happen? If Marie was the killer, why was the house broken into? Was it broken into? Everything has to be called into question.
@@Bluesit32 exactly, there probably was no break in or a car chase, its the fantasy of a crazy woman, its the narrative she formed in her head because she repressed shes the killer. its a great movie imo, but i can see that some of the scenes seem illogical, but its mostly not what happened. not every movie has to be straightforward.
@@dxrules85 Then what was the point of sitting through it? It's worse than a time travel movie where everything that happened gets reversed.
I cringe every time this channel refers to High Tension as Switchblade Romance.
Why? This is a UK-based channel, and that's the name it was released under over here.
I cringe every time that they wine about the twist ending.
@dysartes It''s just a bad name. Doesn't even come close to the original French translation and doesn't make sense as a title.
Halloween ends was weird and unnecessary. People only like it cause it’s popular.
But... nobody likes it. It isn't popular.
I hate it. Ends and kills were terrible. Halloween was great. They dropped a moon sized ball with the last two.
I'm the first one was Great! The second one was ehh. And the their was HORRIBLE.
The characters in TCM were awful and didn't deliver any message besides "hipsters suck"
Honestly, I love what Welcome to RC did with Leon. I am well passed giving a damn about gamer sensibilities and the pearls they clutch at every little thing that doesn't go their way. Now, dgmw, I love Leon in the games. 2 is my favourite of the series. However, I found the bastardising of Leon wonderful and I will always celebrate anything that pisses off anyone who is so easily offended.
That twist in High Tension made absolutely zero sense. It just didn't work. Shame cause the movie was good up until that point.
Whatculture Horror really, really hates Haute Tension/High Tension/Switchblade Romance, doesn't it? I mean, the twist is silly, but it's not worth harping about as much as this channel always does
You are never supposed to sympathize with Freddy there. A monster being abused does not make them become sympathetic.
If you felt bad for him because his daddy beat him, you may not get Freddy.
I mean, Freddy is grinning when his foster dad beats him and properly kills him with a straight razor. After the kids mock him, little friend kills the class hamster with a hammer. Nobody feels bad for him.
@@Bluesit32 Exactly. Those scenes are all about how Freddy was always a broken monster who was never sympathetic.
