Hiya james
Hey James, can you make a Kill Count review of Netflix's Circle from 2015?
Do armdammd 1988 iced 1988 x ray 1982 and night game 1989
Is squid game getting a kill count
Hii
If you look carefully at the start, you can see that when she leaves, her brother is in the same position that she finds him in during the end - meaning she didn't even have to go in the first place if she checked on him as he already had died.
Twisting the knife even more. Horrific.
Now that's attention to detail. Also completely Horrible.
God damn, I thought Midsommar's beginning was depressing, but this takes it to a whole new level
There's a silver lining here though, she gets to keep all of the money for herself
@@ctakitimu is the money even worth it if you have no one? no brother? no parents? trauma? and the overbearing guilt of ending an innocent man’s life?
@@ctakitimu yeah, but the reason she went through all that is gone. She killed Lucas for nothing. Now she doesn’t even have a way to justify herself.
I like this movie because of all the devastating turns it has. Cal dying when everyone fights back, Barden ALMOST succeeding to rescue Iris, Iris shooting Lucas before even letting him talk, and don't forget Iris' brother at the end. It really separates itself from what movies usually do (a happy ending, a successful rescue). It reminds you that the good guys don't always win.
i wanna like this post but the like number is 420 and i cant break that... so me like verbally
Except no where in this film did Barden have any role let alone come close to saving anything.
@@hayden8414 you can like now, the 420 was broken
Even just Barden dying so fast and sudden, knowing he endured all this in the past
@@bunnytailss I don't need to be reminded of reality
The ending of Would You Rather is soul crushing. After putting herself through hell for her brother, she comes home to find him dead. It's such a great movie, but damn, there's a good reason why I have only seen this movie twice.
Not soul crushing, poop-level silly.
@@CatGamer-wc2ij For some people, it is sad and hard to watch.
@@CatGamer-wc2ij wdym silly LMAO
@@LilliRo15 one the kid had no sentimental value to the audience because he wasn’t a strong character. Two, his death was very expected. Three, it was for shock value. Four, it was silly overkill. They should have had her die from a falling brick too, and some kittens run over.
It would have been tragic if she got him better but offed herself out of regret.
doing all those risk only to find the person you did this for dead
I just realized how painfully ironic Amy's death was, at the end of the video. Her daughter drowned to death because her husband did it. And she suffered the same fate because someone else forced her.
That last kill was cold as all hell. After everything she went through, and the guy cutting his eye, she just shoots him outright during his emotional speech. Almost makes the last death even more tragic to see.
This wouldn't be the 1st time I've seen the game of "would you rather" turned deadly if you remember an episode of regular show where Mordecai, Rigby, Eileen, and C.J played that game in which "would you rather's" question for Mordecai resulted in him and Rigby getting trapped in a port-o-potty set to be taken to a nuclear testing site where port-o-potties are being blown up by a government laser
I'm gonna say it: I would've done the same.
No way I'm going through all this fucking crap just for two of us leaving without any money. If that was the price, I could've stayed at home in the first place and not even be severly injured, so yeah. I'm gonna shoot the other person and go home with the dough, sorry.
@@damianprock1650 Yeah that episode is actually what this movie is based on.
Realegh
I think that's actually why she killed him at that moment though. She had probably already resigned herself to do it and hearing his own tragic story would have just made it even harder on her after she pulled the trigger.
For the scene with the barrel or card, it should have always been the barrel. The human brain can sustain oxygen loss for around 4 minutes, and one’s heart would still be beating when the two minutes were up.
That won't matter if the person panicks and swallows water. Drowning is about swallowing water through the nose too much and filling up your lungs. People can drown with less than a minute if they can't hold their breath long enough underwater.
Yup. Every person should definitely have picked the barrel.
You probably didn’t watch the part where they wouldn’t even let the person take a breath or get ready first. The only reason why Amy died in the first place.
the line "I'm James A Janisse" lives in my mind rent free at this point
literally , now i quote horror movies like a true movie nerd lol
These AI bots r getting out of hand
@doeybap7719 same here.
I don't know why, but I really like horror stories that twist the concepts of childish games we all played at least once in our life.
My personal favorites are the "Jinrou Game" book series and the manga "Doubt", which both twist around the rules of "Mafia"/"The Werewolves" to make them psychological thrillers.
So is doubt kinda like among us?
My favorite take on this genre is Ready or Not. It's a brilliantly done movie.
@@danielf1833 Uh... Well it's much older than Among Us, but yeah you could say that.
BUT! There's actually "Judge", another manga done by the same author and it's basically an Among Us debate for 6 tomes. There's even two imposters. (It's also much older than the game though)
(It's pretty damn good too. There's also a movie that doesn't follow the manga at all apart from the base premise.)
@@broceollomon Ready or Not is a banger indeed.
Ghost in the Graveyard (2019) is another good one!
I found this film really depressing when I first watched it, it made me so uncomfortable, I couldn’t help but imagine myself in their position constantly, its so frightening. Guess that’s a sign of a great horror film!
“The Mist“ and “Would You Rather“ are perhaps some of the most blatant and tragic movie examples of a pyrrhic victory-you’ve won, but at a cost so high it was more-so comparable to a loss.
I watched this movie with a group of friends in early March 2020, it was the last time we all hung out together before Covid and i remember all of us just going to bed right after because of how bleak the ending was. A seriously incredible movie
I always find it so interesting when an ending leaves you with the immediate need to just go sleep it off
Going to bed?
Do you live with them or something?
@@pyromaniac709 you ever had a sleepover before bud?
Sometimes it's a little refreshing to see the bad guy win
@@user-fe8rh9rg7j what did they say?
A step above Torture Porn, with great characters, Jeffrey Coombs and a gut punch ending. Very underrated film.
“before The Question can finish his question”
love Jeffrey Combs in that role (JLU). he also did an AMAZING Braniac in Injustice 2.
“the plastic tips on shoelaces are called aglets, but their true purpose is sinister.”
I know Combs from Transformers Prime as Ratchet.
Brittany Snow should definitely do more horror movies because this and X were great movies.
She played the lead role in "Prom Night" (2008).
I remember watching this movie when it first came out. The movie did a good job making you get attached to these characters by nothing having them be the usual a-holes that are all in it for themselves and when they do becomes more self-preserved, their motivations justify it. And that moment of slight relief when she wins just for the ending to sucker-punch you in the gut had me reeling the first time I saw it.
First time I watched this movie, I went to bed so bummed out 😂😭 I just wanna shout out James and Chelsea releasing some lovely commentary tracks over on Patreon, because they have one for this movie, and it makes it much less depressing to have their voices with you while you watch 😂
Man it’s insane James still has energy for making such a high quality video like this for The second time The same day
Wdym?
If you watch the end card the first take of this got corrupted so he had to do it again
@@twbillionare9568 I didnt watch that part. Thanks for letting me know though
I think having so many actors known for campy/loveable/comedic roles really elevates the utter hopelessness of the film. You're waiting for a millisecond of levity that you know these actors are all capable of and it just never comes.
I like the grittiness of this movie. There’s not always a happy ending it’s a part of reality I think this movie captures that very well. That said I do like movies where the heroes win but every once in a while it’s good to mix in a bitter story
Screw reality sometimes
I remember when I watched this the ending will never not make me feel terrible inside because in the end she did all that for nothing all of that pain and trauma she went through…..only for it to not matter is honestly really gut wrenching when you think about it
Man this hits different now, now that we have a prime real life example of this rich privileged scumbag, toying with people for his own amusement (and/or for even more money, and fame), all while disguising his actions as something different entirely, daring to paint himself and pretend like he's the good, bah, the best guy, the bestest of the good guys and some kind of genius at that. And there sure are many, many more such people. The world is such a dark place... (Well actually not "the world" but rather "this planet", given how Earth is just a singular planet existing among countless others and who knows how many are there with sentient life, but you know what I mean).
The commentary in this video sums up the situation and it's messages really well.
And just like pretty much the entirety of this video/movie is on the nose, 20:17 feels especially so... If you know you know.
I heard about this movie years ago and would only see clips of it, i decided to watch it and it's not that bad. It's not afraid to hurt or kill off characters. I really liked the protagonists acting since she was in a Disney movie and in Prom Night, also The Penguin from Gotham is in the film.
That alone got me to watch the film. Loved Robin Lord Taylor as the penguin. Honestly most of the actors who played villains in that series were amazing was a big reason as to why I loved it so much. Know a good amount of people disliked it but I really enjoyed it. Honestly most of the villains in that series are my favorite on screen versions of them. Like Taylor as Penguin seeing how Danny Devito version was way to Burton for my liking. And I liked Colin Farrell but haven't seen enough of him yet as Penguin. Then Cory Smith was my favorite Riddler. Really liked Paul Dano in The Batman but felt Smith was a lot closer to the comic being more playful. And then might be a sin to say this but Cameron Monaghan was my favorite Joker.
@@wisewolftony 'tis no sin I assure you, Cameron Monaghan is also my favorite "Mr J"... *Gotham* indeed had many great actors playing great villains for 5 badass seasons...
On top of those you've already listed, I'd also nominate B.D Wong as _Professor Hugo Strange_ , Alexander Siddig as _Ra's al Ghul_ , Benedict Samuel as _Jervis Tetch aka the Mad Hatter_ , and David Zayas as _Salvator "Sal" Maroni_ as my personal favorites.
edit:
How did I manage to forget to give a shout out to my man Anthony Carrigan for his role as _Victor Zsasz_ !
It's a very different Zsasz from what we're used to, but that role really changed the way lots of people view the character.
For instance, they copy-pasted him 100% for the (lesser) show *Batwoman* in which Mr Zsasz is played by another actors fans of *Gotham* will be familiar with, Alex Morf.
@@randallflagg3700 Yea only reason I didn't list any of them off was because I was just listing my favorite villains from the series who also appeared in films. Although I should have included Anthony as Zsasz seeing how Zsasz did appear in the Birds of Prey film although I have refused to watch that film due to what they did to my 2nd favorite member of the Bat Family Cassandra Cain. As they made her into a generic teenage girl who freaking talks non stop from what the trailers show and can't fight both utter opposites from her actual character. She's a mute or mostly mute badass who is so skilled at fighting even Batman know's he could never beat her. But I love Anthony as Zsasz and how different it is seeing how he's kind of boring in the comics and games just basically a generic crazy serial killer. Anthony was also the reason I started watching the show Barry which he's amazing in as Noho Hank.
All the others you listed were amazing as well. Wong felt very similar to the only version of Hugo I really know which is the one from Arkham City game. Should have included Siddig as Ra's as he's a better Ra's to me then Liam was in Batman Begins. And Samuel as Mad Hatter was one of my top 5 favorite villains in the series. Also one last actor I have to give some praise to was Cerveris as Professor Pyg. Know in Gotham he was a serial killer impersonating Pyg but still Cerveris his actor nailed Pyg in terms of his voice sounded almost exactly like the Pyg from Arkham Knight.
@@wisewolftony - It's cool, you couldn't list everyone after all, and you already listed the top 3, so I figured I would give a few less established charas a push.
I also checked *"Barry"* out because of Anthony Carrigan, and I'm so glad I did!
In some comics, Zsasz can be boring, but properly used he can be terrifying...
Don't worry about *Birds of Prey* , you haven't missed much, and I'm saying that as someone who usually defends the DCEU (or the good movies in it at least) tooth and nail.
My biggest motivation to go watch it is that Roman Sionis, the Black Mask, was finally on the big screen in a major role!
But much like Cassandra Cain, he is nothing like his usual self, and only wears the mask for a couple scenes...
It's so weird that I had to watch a terrible show like *Batwoman* to finally get a decent live action Black Mask!
He is the Big Bad of season 2, and his False Face society is pretty much the only thing that kept this crappy show together in S2...
*Peter Outerbridge* did a fantastic job as Roman Sionis, and it's a shame he was wasted on Batwoman...
I also agree with *Gotham* 's Ra's being superior to the one from *Batman Begins* , and also IMHO to the one from *Arrow* season 3, played by Matt Nable.
Nable was good in *Arrow* , and his League of Assassins ninjas looked great in this show, better than the ones from BB&Gotham (but that's just personal taste for that choice)
Matt Nable played the "noble demon" Ra's, the well-intentioned extremist willing to sacrifice millions to save billions, the martial artist with a strong code of honor and sense of respect for the "detective" as he calls Batman...
In *Gotham* , Alex Siddig did a fantastic job playing the "bastard" Ra's, the psycho who wants to shape the world to his image and doesn't really care for human beings.
The difference between his daughter Nyssa in the 2 shows (Arrow&Gotham) really highlights his different persona.
Though I guess in Gotham, Nyssa was just a more fleshed out version of TDKR's Talia al Ghul.
I still loved her, Jaime Murray was so good in that role...
Wish we got more fighting scenes out of her, her fight against Jim Gordon is one of my favorites in the 5 seasons...
19:00 me when I see my favorite character get more screentime in a show 😅
I love Robin Lord Taylor as The Penguin and seeing him in this was such a treat
He seems like he would be great playing these arrogant, bratty, sniveling spoiled characters
I went into this film with very low expectations.
However this is now one of my favourite movies. Such dread, psychological torment, physical torture and a fucked up ending… I love it
The cast of Gotham was insane! Literally the entire cast absolutely carried the show even when it wasn’t that good. Easily the best CW /FOX show they ever made.
being the best cw show is not hard of a challenge
I honestly can't remember where and when I watched this movie, but it was definitely four or five years ago. And I really enjoyed it...but James is right. It made me feel miserable, with how the evil guys all got to 'win' in the end, and the horrible ending. But, despite all that, I still loved the movie and thought it was great.
20:30 that joke was so dumb but so good
this is just mrbeast right now
I love every detail given in every kill count. I would’ve have never known the brother was the dude from Escape room.
Jeffrey's performance makes me want a Transformers Shattered Glass movie with him reprising his role as Ratchet
In the beginning before Iris left, her brother was seen lying motionless, implying that he overdosed before Iris went thru the whole game.
14:17 *Ballroom Blitz starts*
"This ending makes me miss The Mist." That's saying something!
Lovely KC as always!
just watched this after the latest kill count, now I get the barrel of Tromaville waste joke at 19:08 lol
7:05 kind of broke my heart tbh
I can't watch horror movies without not being able to sleep for a few days, so this is really helpful to get the best parts of a movie without being terrified
These movies teach me that when you’re in a situation where someone explicitly gives you the choice to leave, you should take it in a heartbeat.
Jeffrey Combs is also a Amazing Voice Actor as Well. I love his Role as Ratchet in Transformers Prime.
Handcuff Jeff Bezos to a chair and make him watch this movie
Growing up a Star Trek fan, my first introduction to Jeffrey Combs was through that medium. Having discovered his horror chops (through this channel no less) has made me appreciate his acting even more!
Also, I appreciated the “pink skin” reference. Got a good chuckle out of me!
I really enjoyed this movies. No over the top gore needed, just imagine yourself in there seats makes it really hit psychologically. Great stuff James and team.
Fun fact: Julian isn’t actually his son! He’s just some rich A hole that Lambrick let in on the game
I feel like this movie is so tragically underrated, almost as tragic as its ending. I never see it get talked about, and when I first watched it years ago it really left an impression. I hope it can start to get more appreciation.
From memory, I read that being hit with that specific stick can actually kill you. It's a horrific form of shock (in the category of toxic shock, I guess) that messes with your muscles, nerves and can shut down your organs.
Anyone more familiar, please chime in to correct and expand on what I said!
As cold as Lucas' kill was, I think Iris made the most human reaction ever. Killing somebody right before he gets emotionnal, because we all knows it would be WAY more difficult to make a choice after, and after hearing the story it would have also make the Guilt scale override.
I remember finding this on Netflix and rewatching it again and again, it wasn't a slasher or something that kept you on the edge by not showing you what would happen next. It showed you exactly what was happening and still had the horror aspect to it and its villain didn't need a backstory or an explaination for why he does what he does to help the story. There is just a sick businessman playing a sick game with desperate people who all need help and it's great, and I remember watching it wondering who would win and how the rest would die even though I knew Iris was the main character. It was just a great movie and I think it's a bit better for those who like the genre but can't always handle the gore
6:28 - "We've already determined what you are. Now we're just negotiating the price."
Man, I cannot express how much i adore this new set! The lighting is absolutely gorgeous, the corner allows for more of your super sick stuff to be seen! Ik its not new new, but I had to come back and say smth about it
3:14 I didn't see anyone else mention it so I thought I'd point out that in addition to Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Logan Miller also acted in TWD as Benjamin in Season 7
"YOUR EATING TAINTED MEAT!"
*Bob stooky,*
I read the summary for this movie on Netflix and knew I could never watch it. This type of movie would just make me feel miserable. So kudos for you James to be able to sit through it multiple times for a Kill Count! I don't think I could have that kind of determination!
I'm really excited for Dracula! It's cheesy for today's standards, but I've always loved the Universal Monster movies. You can't have Bright Cellars as a sponsor for that video though. Dracula never drinks... wine.
this is 100% the best channel. this is what i watch when im sad and it always cheers me up whenever something gross happens and James goes "What the f**k!" keep making vids!
21:09 Graphic Kill For Drown Barrel 😂😂
"He tore off whatever Star Trek makeup he was wearing at the time and signed on 48 hours later."
That one line sums up Jeffrey Combs perfectly.
The barden Bella aches joke had me rolling at 4:22
So glad you did a kill count for this not-so-known horror film, I watched it for the first time a few years ago and wished there were more videos on it since I really enjoyed the film
This is honestly one of my favorite horror movies! But personally human vs. human vs. environment is my favorite genre. Some of the Saw kills and Circle are examples of what I mean.
I remember loving this so much when I first saw it, the ending will stay with you for days and the cast is amazing! I didn’t even know Jeffrey combs was in this movie also😂 was so hyped when I found out you were covering this! Long live dead meat
4:33 Nice "Prom Night (2008)" reference...
You are correct, btw, about Robin Lord Taylor. His character in Gotham was simultaneously so compelling and so eclectic, that when they arranged an episode where he reunites with his father, they can only bring in Paul Reubens to do the job.
I know its not technaclly a horror film, more of an action thriller... (Still horrifiying though)
but would it be possible for you to cover The Hunger Games Franchies?
13:10 I'm no doctor but pretty sure a stab will not cause you to lose a lung
He meant that she almost stabbed her Lung
I was impressed to see that Eddie Steeples (The guy who plays Cal) also plays Darnell in NBC's 2005-2009 "My Name Is Earl"!
I love his pitch perfect references through out this
21:20 MORE OF THESE I SAY!!! MORE!!!
Honestly would rather eat the battery than the dark chocolate
8:36 Out with a bang.
2:08 I like the drunk Disney reference lol
Oh my god I just had a late revelation, these are the drunk Disney people! I'm so stupid lol 🤣😂
19:42 "This ending is such a downer, it makes me miss The Mist" 🤣👏
Ugh i love this movie and so glad you finally did it! Idk what I would have done in these situations but damn that ending always kills me… so shady!
8:36 BOOM! CONWAY’S BEEPING DEAD!
Also if Braden’s relationship with Lambrick is any indication, Iris will probably be forced to maintain a relationship with him and maybe even help him lure in other victims. Meaning she’ll never really get to escape the game.
Travis couldn't get a break during the jambak (jumbak-? jamback-? I dunno-) whippings. The villain didn't give him any sympathy whatsoever. Savage.
A dinner party with Dr. Herbert West, The Penguin and Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys sounds like a good time!
6:17 Ok that sounded sus James.
Fun fact. There is another would you rather released in 2012 (or 2013 I can’t remember) It’s also a horror movie. And it’s more in the vain or truth or dare. It’s also like truth or dare in that it’s one of if not the most mid pieces of cinema ever. Just THE definition of 4/10 but the kills are cool so there’s that
I'm so pissed that the doctor got killed. But at least he went out quickly and painless.
Would you ever cover kill counts in TV shows like episode by episode or season by season , it would be so fun to watch like a series or something
Shepard Lambrech: "Well, I've paid your brother's medical fees, your college and some monies beside to ease your life. Don't you OWE ME A THANK YOU?"
oooo....that's the coldest line in the movie. Who would have enough resources to tell him what they really thought, while their gambling cash not yet secured? Plus you are prettymuch broken in your mind....from the way the Lawyer just folded, they might be broke for life! (I realized he tried to be a hero after some regrets, if he could stand against Lambrech directly.)
19:43 best line reading ever.
Although not shown in the movie, is it safe to assume that Peter the gambler decided to shock Travis the army vet instead of himself?
8:19 ooh, nice one. “Home Alone” thought we wouldn’t catch it
15:10 "This movie has more thigh drama than a KFC" got me on the floor
Ayo is that- *YO! THAT'S CRABMAN!*

Would You Rather and The Mist fighting over the most soul-crushingly depressing ending ever
That's one of the reasons why I could only watch it once - so many things could have been avoided and prevented, and you ended up feeling horrible for every single character in this movie, except for the host of course.
I think the mist takes it me and my mom watched the movie when I was younger and I cried so much. And refused to watch it for a bit
Rabidly clawing tooth and nail for it
I hated the mists ending
Duel of the fates start playing
As a recovering alcoholic, the scene with the decanter really ticked me off and made me hate the villain in the movie. I literally had to take a couple minutes to just sit and process what I was watching, as I know how hard it can be to stay sober. Props to the director for making a villain really easy to dislike.
Same bro this really bothered me…. 8 months clean in a few weeks.

i know james says kill counts dont replace watching moves but for movies like this I appreciate it because I would never sit through this bummer of a film otherwise lol
sammmeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for most, bu i did watch his one a few years ago. oooffff never again
Agreed 100%! I watched this one and still regret it.
Agreed. I couldn't watch this movie
100% agree lol
Most certainly! I wouldn't be able to stomach a movie like Hereditary either! oof..
This was so sad cause Lucas really wanted to escape you can see he regretted everything near the end then when he realized she was gonna shoot he looked so sad and tried to talk about it- that’s honestly the saddest movie death I’ve seen
Agreed. He was a terrific guy all along
Then they ruined it with the silly level poopie ending where the brother dies.
@TheWaffleStudio Wish it was sad, unfortunately comedy not tragedy. It would have been sad if the brother was alive, then she offed herself out of guilt one day and he was left alone. Unfortunately we got to see a nobody in the film do it.
@@CatGamer-wc2ij well, I can’t say if it was a bad movie due to how much it seems to have stuck in your head and how you really feel the need to explain the ending, bad movies tend to be a ‘watch and forget’ kind of deal, with maybe a few jokes.
Also, I feel that the foreshadowing of the ending was pretty obvious, at least from what I’ve seen, and that the tragic ending is the house winning, her brother being dead just proves the suspicions that she was doing it for nothing.
TL;DR I feel like the ending was Dramatic Irony
@@Serrifin oh it didn’t stick at all. This kill Count reminded me lol. James’ stuck in my head ♥️. But all lighthearted humor aside, yeah the ending was completely forgettable so by your own statement, it therefore must be crap.
As for explaining it, I’m more annoyed at people who like things like Baby Shark 🦈 and this movie. We’ve become so dumbed down we love average, and I was castigating the audience rather than the movie, but politely.
This movie left me feeling so empty and miserable for hours after watching it. Having lost both my parents (one of whom died of cancer) I can understand where Iris was coming from, but the ending was devastating. I don't think I'll ever watch this movie again, just like with The Mist - once is enough.
Had no sympathy for her. The character was already bland and unlikeable even before she killed some guy for money.
I watched this movie super late, and I think I finished at something like four am. I was tired as hell, but I had to immediately watch something else because of how I felt.
@@EnclosedPoolArea Get off your high horse
@@EnclosedPoolArea Having sympathy for someone doesn't mean you're letting them off the hook for any wrongs they've done. It just means you have a basic level of empathy, jack*ss.
@@EnclosedPoolArea listen to darius, your horse isn't made for those altitudes.
That ending ALWAYS shocked me. When I saw Raleigh lying in bed like that, I thought he died succumbing to his illness. When they reveal he's dead but show empty pill bottles next to him, my jaw dropped realizing he took his own life. This was a tragic and shocking ending but give major props to the cast & crew for the film.
I will say, with the ending of this movie it truly shows how sucky life can actually be. Sure the game itself seems pretty farfetched but people will do awful things to get what they want, even if it is for a good cause. And the fact that all of the awful things Iris did ended up being for nothing made it even more bitter to see.
Edit: Holy crap yall, I didn't think this would get this many likes. Thanks!
Capitalism* not life
The fact that it was all for nothing is a stinger. Like, the character would have to live with the memory of what transpired but the fact that she loses even when she wins is such a gut punch. Whew.
@@shatzngiggles8911 pretty sure regardless of socio-political system, life can still suck
@@shatzngiggles8911 Both tbh

Fun Fact: This movie came out the same year as Pitch Perfect, another movie Brittney Snow had a major role in.
How does one do two completely different roles in the span of a year?! Especially considering this movie's downer ending
@nijuo joing And he also voiced Ratchet in Transformers Prime (aka arguably the last decent Transformers show), as well as the Leader in the under-appreciated Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Combs has made quite the name for himself in the world of voice acting, suffice to say!
Damn, she really deserves more credit for that
She’s such an underrated actress
It’s her job? LOL
@@toaleydanza14 True lol😆
This horror movie definitely feels more real than whatever ghost movie recently came out. The old rich villain is genuinely evil, and the worst part is he would probably face no punishment because he would likely just bribe his way out of the slammer
My main grip with modern day horror movies is how the general viewer mostly only knows about ghost or supernatural movies thanks to the Nun and other movies as well. There can be other sub genre horror movies but marketing prefers to advertise those ones instead of the others and it grinds my gears
@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349Agreed. Those movies also push a huge religious backing too. Specifically the Conjuring series. It’s so obvious that they’re trying to turn the masses into Christians, it’s painful. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good scare, but I roll my eyes whenever the Warren’s show up and make the magic boogeyman go away with…… words.
Then, the movies that do talk about politics and capitalism being shit, they are always written and directed by lib rich capitalists. Their movies always come off so phony and cringe.
@@antisocialal4799the exorcism stuff is so cheesy in any movie
and also annoying. hate when people just yell and the movie frames it like ‘wow!! hes doing it!! its working! so brave!’ its so corny
lol trying to turn the masses to christians. okay pal@@antisocialal4799
“The shot John Heard around the world.”
That was truly mind-blowing.
That joke went right through my head at first
Not your best. It was worth a shot.😉
That was a good one for sure a bullseye
Oooh let me get a shot at it.....nah I got nothing.
@@SilkyLew That joke was a miss ngl
10:43 we talked about this in our Holocaust Studies class junior year. My teacher called it a "choiceless choice". The idea is that if both options end in death, it's not /really/ a choice. In a lot of these peoples' cases, it's either go to a sketchy dinner and worst case scenario be kidnapped best case scenario have all your financial problems solved OR go into poverty and spend the rest of your life fighting for not only your survival but the survival of your loved ones. It's a choiceless choice, and as we noticed in class, 9 times out of 10 people won't go down without a fight. self preservation and all that
Having the extra detail of former movies with the same count and ratio is a great addition! I would love to see more random bits of information like this in the future.
Definitely agree
Also the little “ I dunno” 😆
This channel has singlehandedly expanded my willingness to watch films I wouldn't otherwise watch. James and Chelsea are truly unique in this over saturated TH-cam market. They're independent, creative and have impeccable taste in horror. Whether it be serious, 'elevated horror' or fun going slashers, they never cease to amaze on the consistency or production value of their Kill Counts. These two belong in the film industry, charging what they like. But we have the pleasure of enjoying their content for free! Must we remember that. Please keep up the high standards, and I look forward to the next entry :)
Same!! Dead meat is the reason I opened myself to the horror genre and I'm so happy that I did.
I'm the same way. This channel has really helped me appreciate media more and expand my horizon
Agreed but may I mention the title “elevated horror” is dumb because the idea behind it makes other horror films come off as lesser or dumber than what gets that label-and considering what can be considered elevated horror can be applied to a ton of horror films that don’t get this label which makes the label meaningless.
Maybe arthouse or indie horror works a little better? But the term elevated horror has always been dumb to me and it’s an underhanded insult to other films in the same genre.
Ikr I’ve seen and heard of movies I never would have because of dead meat
lol nah I watch this shit so I don't have to watch the actual movie
