Your channel is really interesting and I love watching it. Are these vids monetized and do you worry about copyright issues when uploading clips from actual movies and tv shows
You should watch "The Innocents" (1961) and "The Wailing" for horror movies.
Hey thanks! It’s usually a hit or miss with monetization. I usually don’t care about monetizing as much as visibility.
First time I watched this i was like ehhh then the car scene with the pole happens i was entranced and I dont think I blinked the rest of the time
@24:40 when it goes from day to night and a of the sudden you see the naked cult leaders now standing in the shot but they weren't before! That somehow scared the ish out of me! It's just so unsettling.
Also one of Peter's friends is in the final shots proving the the cult had their grasp on his life from the beginning of the movie.
Wait woah really???
@@JamesVSCinema Yeah, the cult is influential. Drugs and other substances are sometimes used in occult ceremonies.
@@JamesVSCinema Yep! During the scene where Peter is choking after smoking under the bleachers, its his friend on the far left of screen and then subsequently at the end praying to Pamon.
@@xxmcnuggetxx1 Oh damn, thanks for this!! I have seen this film like 3 times but never caught that for some reason
It’s basically the whole town every random person you see is part of the cult. Even the teens at the party. Even Peter’s crush. It’s just so hopeless for this family..
love how they did the marketing for this movie. the little girl was featured heavily in the promos so we didnt expect her death especially so early on in the film.
14:44 i thought it was strange they sent the son back to school so soon. he went through something traumatic i cant even imagine how fucked up
he is. get the kid some therapy wtf.
Right!? Like..wanna take a sick day or something? 😂
Yeah, I remember thinking from the trailers that she was not only the star, but likely the main antagonist.
@@ibuprofriends I know, when a similar thing happened with me, I never went back. Had 3 months left senior yr. high skool. But I stopped paying attention around 6th grade so no biggie.
I love how Joan says it's Louie's favorite chalkboard and you can actually notice her just buying the chalkboard (in the back of her car) at the craft store. One of the little details to appreciate on re-watch
I didn’t even catch that!!
So it's the demon who write things on the chalkboard??
@@natanlopes4000 Maybe she was capable of witchcraft, but they still would need energy from the demon to perform those spells so it was all Paimon directly of indirectly.
@@natanlopes4000 yes paimon. pretending to be the grandchild to fool the mom. notice the grandchild is called louie... lucifer?
There are so many little things thrown in throughout the movie, that you always notice something new every time you re-watch it.
Things you might have missed:
-One of the guys handing the joint to Peter is a member of the cult. He did something with the joint to open him up to accept Paimon
-The first time they come home after the grandma's burial, if you pump up the volume, you can hear someone walking in the attic (probably putting the grandma there)
-The image of Paimon is holding a stick which is an arm pointing at something, that would explain why Peter put his arm up when possessed at school
-That same picture contains 3 heads, which are the heads of the sister, mother, grandmother.
-During the movie, we see the mail coming in throught the door. The first pamphlet is the spiritual seance. Since she didnt came to the seance, they sent Joan in the parking lot to meet her.
-The paint bottle falls by itself, Annie didnt touch it.
Yeah definitely missed the first one!! So crazy!
@@MrfuckinBeilke I know, but if you look closely at the ending when they are all bowing, he's there and the only way to start the transfert is by injecting some herbs. That herb is there throughout the movie, Annie finds it in her cup at Joan, You see a picture of the grandmother giving that herb to charlie in the pictures when she was a baby. It was also mentionned somewhere in the movie, dont remember the part.
@@0725038 it must have only affected peter then as his friends were smokin it too?
@@thegirlinquestion I dont remember if it was a special joint for him, but it's pretty much just an herb. Could be sage or basilic as far as we know. All we know is that it was needed to Paimon could enter his body and that it doesnt seem to have a strong taste since Annie drinked it in her tea ealier in the movie.
@@0725038 thank you for your observations!
"Oh god, I just want to die. I need to die!!" The screams..
Haunting.
Yeah..that was a rough one
When I was about 10 we were on holidays in France and a little boy drowned in the pool. The anguished screams of his mother sounded exactly like the actress in the movie… Haunting indeed.
When Tony Collette screams ar you at the dinner table that she’s your mother, everyone in the audience knew it was meant for them too
What scares me a lot is how comforting Joan is, the way she manipulated her grief.
Yup! Creepy old ladies I’ll tell ya
How wasn't Toni Collette not Nominated for an Oscar for this? That dinner scene alone deserves her an Easy nomination.
The academy doesn’t like horror movies :/
@@guen4413 They liked Get Out tho, also The Exorcist, Jaws, The Sixth Sense, Black Swan and The Silence of the Lambs (which had elements of horror not a complete horror film but for sure had it horror moments). It's just rare to see a horror film get Nominated for Oscars but it does happen.
@@nox5870 but they nominated get out as a horror because it depicted racial issues so no...they don’t like horrors💀
@@salemwitchfairy9009 I mentioned not just Get Out.
@@salemwitchfairy9009 Also Rosemary's Baby, so Oscars do like horror films.
The first time I saw this film I was with a friend of mine, and by the end of it we were just in shock. This film is horrifying because of how it uses themes of loss, grief and trauma and blends them with supernatural elements. Great reaction as always James. Much love
Yeah it’s like a Greek play..just straight tragic! Much love as well brother!
There's a dialogue of Annie when she meets Joane.
"My daughter was killed"
And she is surprised of what she said, thinking of Peter as a murderer, she could said "My daughter died" but the choice of words is even more raw.
killed =/= murdered
I didn't want to be scared shitless today, but you roped me in. Gotta watch the full commentary... the last time I saw this movie I was afraid for weeks that toni collette was lurking behind me in every ceiling corner.
Hahahaha honestly I wouldn’t blame you!! 😂
same
That damn drive to the hospital when she's having the allergy reaction will always haunt me! Such a great movie!
Yeah the sense of dread was beyond f’d!!
Camerawork and Sound design make it so unsettling
100%!
This Halloween movie reactions should end with Cats (2019)
LMFAO...stop 😂
What I noticed about this film is the outside beauty of the landscape. Like the funeral of the daughter... most horror movies would have it done in rainy dark days. No... it’s sunny with the beautiful mountains in the background. Then when you get into their house... it’s dark and intimidating.
Oh man, not sure I can't watch it again, even with you.
Also, I agree that Toni Colette is absolutely amazing in this, but kudos to Alex Wolff too. He really impressed me.
Incredible performances all around!
I saw this in the theater not expecting it to mess with my brain so much. I saw it and could NOT sleep that night. I had to keep every light on bruh. One of the only horror flicks that I can remember genuinely being shook to the core.
Shoutout to Alex Wolf though growing up watching him and his brother in their lil band to see them become apart of iconic movies is so lovely!!! He did such a good job!
Crazyyyyy carrrr 🎶
It's subtle but if you look closely no one knocked over the paint Annie was using while making some of her miniature models. Leading her to go back to the art store where she meets Joanie again to tell her about the seance. So yeah it emphasizes that they really do not have any control of the whole situation. A lot of reaction vids I see about this film either miss this or just choose to ignore this tiny detail
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. Thank you for covering it James. As a man with a diploma in film studies I went into this with a slight arrogance and left absolutely terrified. Hope you’re well buddy can’t wait to see what’s next!
Hahaha happy to hear that brother! Hope you’re just as well!
My favourite horror film of all time. It’s just sooo good & scary. Glad you’re rewatching this for your channel. I was really looking forward to seeing your reaction/commentary to Hereditary. Thanks James.
Happy to hear that man, I feel the same way and it’s awesome to see myself learn from..well..myself xD
Still one of my favorite shots in the movie (and recent memory) is when Peter is blowing smoke out of his window and you see someone’s breath in the cold meet it. Then instantly cuts to the next scene so on the first watch you’re questioning what you really saw.
Brilliant
Yes!! Those details are sprinkled throughout the film!
As I get older, real-world horrors seem to trump the out of this world ones and seem to make the best horror stories. Grief, mental illness, loneliness and even the affects of the actions of your family members can truly be haunting when things go wrong. The atmosphere and sound design in this film along with the score...it fills in the space so well. The whole miniatures vibe too...it feels as they're always being watched. And of course...they were...
I thinks that’s why this film haunts a lot of people..and probably why it got some mixed reviews because it hits close to home on those aspects of horror!
Completely agree and I think ari aster does an AMAZING job at blending the traditional horror elements with this sort of psychological- realism in which the real horror stems from experiences we have all faced,: loss, trauma, guilt, grief; and in midsommar: dependency, loneliness, toxic relationships, etc.
Oh man, you're a brave one for watching this a second time lol I remember this movie messing me up when I saw it at the theatre, it instantly became one of my all time favorites in the genre. I also noticed in my second watch the stuff with the miniature house and how it portrays the cult controlling every aspect of their lives. Gotta love Ari Aster for what he does in his movies, I don't think I've ever been that uncomfortable and anxious while watching a movie (Midsommar did it too). The part where Charlie dies is a masterclass in making the audience feel grossed out, anxious and just not wanting to be there. He does this so well. Alex Wolff´s acting is great, you can see every emotion he's feeling through his eyes and the way the camera just lingers on his face is simply genius, probably my favorite scene in the film.
There is no fat on this film. The genre is used very deliberately and very effectively to present the story (which is rock solid) in a particular way. You don’t see tropes and cheap techniques used as crutches. Every moment is earned. Great acting. Innovative score. Just a very exceptional piece
Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I’ve seen it 8 times, it still freaks me out. That song that plays at the end credits legitimately makes me get incredibly scared, just because of what I relate it to. Great reaction, keep up your re-watches!
Happy to hear that Wyatt!! Hope your day is well!
Absolutely my favorite movie of 2018. Such a great surprise. The night I went to see this one, I had had a horrible day at work, my brother invited me to go to the movies, but I almost didn't go. I just wasn't in the mood to leave the house. But I sucked it up and went anyway. Well...I'm so glad I did. This turned out to be very different than I had expected from the trailer - in a good way! I was so disturbed when I left the theater, but I had to see it again asap. I've watched it several times since and each time I appreciate the storytelling and direction even more. Ari Aster is kind of a freak (don't know if you've seen his short films 😲) but he's a talented freak and I love it.
Gotta love the talented freaks!! We love em!
Love the details you pick up on on your second watch. This, my man, this, is why I love your channel! :)
"Can you [old people] just, y'know, learn to send an emoji on Facebook first?" - James on Hereditary 😂
Like dammmmnn that’s how they be getting down 😂
Love your levity there. 😂
Watching Hereditary for the second time definitely was so rewarding! Loved watching you pick up on and comment on the deeper meaning and themes. First time watching was rough emotionally and there was a lot of stuff I missed then due to that and because of the shock of seeing it all for the first time.
Definitely one of my favourite movies of 2018 :)
Right!? Definitely gotta shout out the writing and cinematography!
@@JamesVSCinema For sure! You can so clearly see how much effort and care was put into every aspect
your videos are amazing!! love seeing you upload
Ayyy happy to hear that Gianna!!
The first time I saw hereditary my heart sunk when I saw the grandma in the dark at the beginning, I felt it in my body. I usually don't get scared like that watching movies. Maybe it's the fact that that's how the real experience would be. No sound effect, no jump, just the sudden realization.
I saw something recently that pointed out the light that moves through the hallway and through a few other scenes is like from the mothers glasses as she works on the miniture
Came here from your grand Budapest hotel reaction lol when you kept saying the framing reminded you of a dollhouse I instantly thought of this film. Man, the way this is shot is so so good, it enhances the horror incredibly well.
I loved your commentary! Hereditary is my favorite horror film. Every time I watch, it still gives me the same dread, chills, and eeriness. Ari Aster is a genius, that is all!😂
You should check out "The Lodge". It had some similarities to hereditary although it was made before it, but it's a pretty great film. It's also psychological horror done right. Goodnight mommy is by the same people too which is also good.
But I'm excited to hear your thoughts on hereditary now! 😊
The lodge is the shiiit - I went in with such low expectations and it blew me away
@@bigfishboobs its understandable why it has some mixed reviews but i personally was also blown away lol
I’ll be sure to give it a look then!
what year did the lodge come out?
@@jimster805 Pretty sure it was January or February this year
There’s a hilarious SNL skit called “Wes Anderson Horror Movie”, definitely check it out.
Oh snap really!? Hahaha definitely will
Hereditary impressed me a lot. I'm a horror movie buff and so I'm rather desensitized and rarely get truly scared. I mean that I still can get in the mood, get immersed in the atmosphere (if it's done well), but the feeling of dread rarely lingers after the movie ends. But this one really got to me and it actually was the first time in 10-15 years I had nightmares after watching a movie. I can't even think of anything I can compare it with. Great fucking horror movie.
Edit: I thought of an apt comparison - Polanski 'apartment trilogy'. Highly recommend.
This movie made me feel how Sunset Boulevard made me feel the first time i watched it. Just uncomfortable and anxious. Loved Midsommar as well. But. This one made me excited to see Ari Aster more.
Just watched this for the first time and now I'm here for your reaction! This movie blown me away, best horror film I have seen in a long time! I had to rewind a lot of times just to take in what I just saw, amazing movie!!
I think the casting and the style of editing is key. The actors feel like people. Real people. Love this movie.
The editor did Manchester by the Sea, Marriage Story, and Tenet. She’s legit.
Agreed! Brilliant people behind the film!
Truly a brilliant, terrifying, imaginative and perpetually disturbing movie... one of the best horror/thriller films of the past decade.
Yes!! Loved all the risks it took telling this film’s story!
Excellent choice , James. It's a nice gift before my 20th B-day tomorrow. Btw, you should check out Midsommar if you enjoyed this.
On word!! Yo happy upcoming birthday brother!
I’m a huge horror fan and this is the only movie that had legit disturbed me to point where i only seen it twice
I'd LOVE to see your commentary on ANNIHILATION, James! I think you answered one fo my coments a few videos ago confirming you've already seen it so, yeah, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Keep up witg the amazing content!
Not only one of my favorite horror films, but also one of my favorite films in general! For a first feature from Ari Aster he’s already proven to be a master of his craft, and I feel the same way about Midsommar. Can’t wait to see what he does next
Loving your content man. Keep up the good work! You gotta add Blue Ruin to the list of must-sees. It’s directed by Jeremy Saulnier, the same guy who did Green Room.
yes! one of my best experiences in a cinema... you're literally on the edge of your seat the whole time ...
Let’s just watch out for any incoming telephone polls!
The channel Collative Learning made several videos analyzing the details of the film-making, as well as the lore behind the demon Paimon
I’m not a big fan of horror movies but this definitely my favorite horror movie. It’s not cheesy and full of jump scares, it’s different. I haven’t even been able to sit down by myself and watch this, I only seen clips on TH-cam and people reacting the movie 😂 great reaction
Love this commentary on this wonderful film
Definitely one of my favorite movies, I love the landscape of the housing
The way the mom screams over her daughter's death in contrast to her reaction at her mom's funeral just shows how "polluted" of a person her mom must have been.
My parents watched this for the first time last week and they’re still traumatized by it. Doesn’t bother me as much because I had seen it twice before. Definitely the most insane horror film I think I’ve ever watched. Toni Collette should’ve WON best actress for this film and didn’t even get nominated.
Have you watched Sinister? Came out in 2012 I think. Some might write it off as a jumpscare fest but imo it’s right up there with this as the scariest horror film since the Exorcist. Pretty sure I saw a post somewhere that scientists deemed it the scariest horror film ever by studying the heart rate of people.
Btw great videos and love the channel. Been watching since I think 2K subs. Keep it up 💯
I couldn't get this movie out of my head for a week!! This was movie was insane!
This movie blew me away the first time I saw it. Every time I thought I understood what was happening or what I thought was going to happen, I was thrown again. That shot of Peter's face just lingering in the car followed by the sounds of Toni Colette screaming in despair.... Chills. Ari Aster knows what the hell he is doing.
Amazing movie, amazing acting from everyone. Man, when horror movies are top quality like that, i remember how much i love horror movies.
A lot of shots in Invisible Man remind me of these shots. The focus on one corner of the room or a chair. It gets people to focus on the smallest details and greatly heightens paranoia.
Why didn't the girl have an Eli-Pen?
Just in case. I mean, plot....but still.
Aye I never noticed the people in the day to night transition lmao. Explains a lot!!!
I’m an avid watcher of horror movies and nothing usually phases me, but the cinematography and sound design of Hereditary haunted me so much that I had to sleep with the lights open for 3 days following.
I went in completely blind and I’m so glad I did, I was NOT prepared.
The movie really gets to you, because from the accident to the very end of the film, it’s just an uphill road of anxiety and you never truly get a break, I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time.
It was amazing when the scene where Annie is on the ceiling in Peter’s room, in theaters you could barely see it, some people didn’t even notice. You could hear other watchers audibly gasp when they’d finally noticed.
I genuinely think this film rivals the likes of The Shining, so so good
Crossing my fingers that Fallen is on your list this month. Very underrated thriller starring Denzel Washington, John Goodman, James Gandolfini, and Donald Sutherland
🤞🤞🤞
🎶 Tiiiime is on my side, yes it is!🎶
Hahahaha we shall see indeed!
@@ghadrackpotato960 yeah, thanks. I've been suggesting both Frailty and Fallen and I guess autocorrect took over 🤦♂️
@@JamesVSCinema don't play with my emotions like that James! 😂
@@ghadrackpotato960 same here... I do that with Frailty too. Both great and underrated!
Yo after this movie I had to look up Colin Stetson’s music (he did the soundtrack.) he does the weirdest most unique things with saxophone making it so weird and creepy and other times beautiful.
Late to this video but great content keep it up bro
Following this line of psychological horrors, you should definitely react to Saint Maud (A24), it’s one of my favorite horrors, along with Hereditary and The Witch! Love your videos, man!!
You got me really paying attention to the sound design now. The second time I saw this movie, that part at 25:58, I thought "Dang, he's like a gazelle or something. He didn't even have a chance to see her before he _bolted._ That's crazy instincts."
Well, watching this with you, I realized why I thought that. It's a lion's roar that plays right then. Even the sounds they use are planting thoughts in our heads.
So thanks. 😊 For helping me pay attention to things I wouldn't have otherwise.
That’s so awesome! Good catch!
I'll always turn out for Toni Collette. She's from Blacktown, New South Wales, like me. She's such a good actress and it always gives me joy to see her having Hollywood success.
Just got around to this video cuz I wanted to watch this movie for myself first. Excited to see what you're thinking about it :)
This film has haunted me for quite some time. Great flick!
The problem is, that this movie isn't an horror movie, not even scary. It's just a long TRAUMATIZING video.
One of the best horrors!🙌
I agree!!
I liked your commentary because it was intelligent and analytical rather than purely emotional, like many others.
You pretty much nailed it (in a roundabout way). This is as close to a Wes Anderson horror film as there is.
Man one of my favorite horror films. I still think about it
Is that esoteric cult approach that adds an extra layer of fear, the unknown. Lovecraft is right when he says that the strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown.
My gf and I put this on the other month to rewatch it, and we had to stop right around the party scene. We just really were not ready to go back yet. Very rare for a movie to have that affect on me, it’s genuine horror.
Toni Collette deserved every award available for her performance in this film. The best horror movie of the decade 👌
liked the video before the ad was over, the fact that it’s good is just a given
Hahaha wow you rock man, seriously thank you
@@JamesVSCinema thank you, of course dude
I'm glad you didn't show the mom sawing her head off with the piano string. She had that wide-eyed, possessed Carrie look on her face, staring directly into the eyes of her son. So horrifying!!
I just found your channel , and i like it 👍 greetings from 🇩🇪✌.New Subscriber here .
One of my favorites, thank you! If you haven’t yet, watch “train to busan” one of the best zombie movies. Or “Cemetery Man” from 1994, hard to find but an awesome movie!
It's been almost a week since I lost my father. Now all of movies with grief and death as a theme, even zombie films, give an even greater impact than ever before. And I'm already traumatized by Junji Ito manga.
One of my favorite horror films. I think having a little knowledge on the occult and names of demons like "Paimon" and certain aspects of the rituals can boost your rating. Otherwise, it'll feel like a dark comedy to some.The details are even in the melody at the end there's a specific sound certain believers say this demon "Paimon" is associated with. The people who do these rituals aren't always sinister, but it's not farfetched to think some use it for bad intentions. This was a worst-case scenario. They did so much research for this film. A lot of foreshadowing and the family aspects make it feel authentic. Great reaction though brother, I always enjoy your take on films.
There was actually a SNL skit 5-ish years ago about a horror movie by Wes Anderson lol. I’d recommend it to people who even hate SNL, it’s pretty funny imo.
Horror is my fave genre because it's so unbelievably diverse. E.g. Someone once told me that Gone Girl wasn't horror and I was shocked, how can't that movie not be horror, to this day I'm still kind of afraid of marriage because of a human being like that. Horror is twisting the mind to a breaking point and to me how that is portrayed in media is amazing.
18:56 I was thinking the exact same thing. Just picked it up now.
The Mist is a pretty good horror film. Definitely one of those that will stick with you for quite a long time! I suggest you watch that too!
Have you watched Suspiria? From Dario Argento, one of my favourite horror films.
Hey man I have a question have you ever watched the terminator movies? (first 2)
I've waited so long, and it's worth it
Hahaha I can tell by your profile!
@@JamesVSCinema next reaction should be The Room, so it's a polar opposite
The Dinner scene is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen… the rest of the movie, with all it a supernatural terror, was a relief after that.
I hope I never meet Toni Collette.
The true horror of this film is inevitability. Events set in motion long ago, that no matter what you do now, you’re pushing ever on to that inevitability, and nothing you do will or could ever change it. You’re doomed. THAT is true horror.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has stil not 'recognized' Toni Collette.
This Dinnertable scene.
The Car Scene in 6th Sense
The ENTIRETY OF Muriels Wedding.
All of Little Miss Sunshine.
I mean...what are they even for?
I watched this movie 3 times in theaters.
I love this movie.
HEREDITARY!!!! HELL YES!
Let’s goooo spooky time
I remember in high school my English teacher told us to watch this and everyone got so upset because it was to scary
at 9:49 Peters friends are watching on the laptop a video of a person been decapitated on the guillotine, a foreshadow of what later the mom will do to her self.
btw I DID NOT see the naked people around the house at my first watch. So shockingly creepy.
