Right? Those guns would still be heavy as fuck and a blow to the face would not be fun at all.
Except it was an elephant gun. Did you see those huge bullets?
@@brennanhearn6342 Not sure how that makes it any less of a club when unloaded. In fact, I'd argue it's a better club.
@@Allstar-yl1ek Oh it is. Was just correcting someone on what ind of gun it was.
This would make an excellent singleplayer horror game.
Yes I would love this
I agree with you, I would totally play it if that is a thing.
strong resident evil 7 vibes tbh. i want it now.
OMG yes!
I guess its like the Friday the 13th game but instead of one versus many, its many versus one. They both have the same premises of surving and hiding.
the fact that alex doesn’t tell her anything beforehand shows that he didn’t care to see her survive
@@thatannoyinghobo7101 *SELFISH FUCK* HAHAHAHAH
He was hoping for another card for her
Hey! Here's a funny thought, just something to mention:
Isn't it kinda Sick that Bloody Horror like this counts as Comedy nowadays? The Perception of the People, of the Viewers, is changing - anyone but me noticed?
Not necessarily. He tried to warn Grace because pulling out that card, he might lose her. But not marrying her, he's afraid he would lose her either. And I love how much he loved Grace but in the end, his desire to keep her ultimately became selfishness that he'd rather sacrifice her if she wouldnt stay. I just applaud how they were able to somewhat tell that sometimes our human nature could bring the devil inside of us.
Well to be fair, I think his turnaround in the end is because he thought she killed his brother.
That’s the context I got out of it.
Alex was a selfish rich kid who despite desperately wanting to separate himself from his family he never had the strength to. And I totally agree with the fact that if he really thought he could save grace he would have NEVER taken her there in the first place. This movie just shows how strong and hard it is for some people to abandon family pressure and indoctrination.
Well, he would've died if he hadn't took her there, because according to the movie lore, it's a must for new family members to play the game, otherwise they'd both die.
Despite being born rich, Alex was dealt a bad hand in life. With his family and their satanic cult, his options were pretty limited.
Dying Alone: 50/50
Ending Up Like His Family: 99/100
Marrying: 85/100 (he is rich)
Marrying Someone After Telling Them About the Satanic Cult: 1/100
Marrying Someone _Decent_ After Telling Them About the Satanic Cult: 1/1000000
Marrying Someone Decent If He _Doesn't_ Tell Them About the Satanic Cult: 85/100
His Bride Draws the Hide & Seek Card: 1/5+
I think he was caught in an impossible situation. He wants to get away from his family, but he can't. If he told everyone he tried to date that he was part of a satanic cult, the smart ones would leave and the ones who would agree to it would be exactly the kind of people in his family he wanted to escape from. Once he & Grace were married, he had at least a 3/4 chance that she'd get a normal game, and then he'd have at least 10+ years (however long until one of those kids can marry) to tell her about the bullet she dodged while they get far away from his family.
Alternatively, they could just date forever.
@@resnardlapiz3250 He could have dated her forever and she would have never needed to be part of the family in the first place. What's not clicking... He just couldn't distance himself from the family because he's a coward, he wants the best of both worlds and that's why he returned. If he wasn't so selfish he wouldn't have needed to play the game to begin with.
I think that Grace only escaping because she got lucky a bunch of times was actually really realistic and well written. It crushed the trope of “female protag suddenly becomes hardcore fighting machine when in a dire situation”. Grace was a completely normal person with no survival abilities outside of natural instincts, thus she makes a lot of dumb decisions & mainly gets lucky to survive. Not only did it make her character more relatable but felt really fresh for a thriller.
Yes true. I really thought the film would make her some kind kung fu ninja mma fighter who would hunt the family instead. But this way it felt more relatable to a situation how a normal person would behave. Making dumb decisions and somehow getting lucky.
To her credit, she legit tries to escape every time. Most victims in other horror movies just sticks around despite having the chance to escape for no reason.
@@isaacgray2909 most horror movie characters are either obnoxiously dumb or unbelievably competent. Grace falls in the middle, more to the competent side though.
@@anubis7457 if you love unbelievably competent horror movie characters, then watch The Thing (1984)
@@synapse5796 Dude, I love how rational everyone was in that movie.
Alex: How dare you kill my family in self defense. They were trying to maim and and sacrifice you to the dark one. I hate you now Grace.

Keep saying that til it happens to u ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Actually he doesn't turn on her until he realizes that she is no longer in love with him.
GippyHappy true. But. He still hates her for killing a family member in self defense
Oh my god. Alex is the Anakin Skywalker of this movie. That actually adds to the comedy of this movie
Can we just appreciate the fact that in the end, her white wedding dress is black? Like funeral or grieving clothes? She went from being happily married to “grieving” her new family in 6-7 hours
there's a whole video about it with the costume designer!!
Lol the same thing happened to me when I was born 😂
@@mcsheesh2611 it was only 15 but still a lot
actually the blood turned it red and the smoke turned it black
but yea they probly had multiple dresses
Actually, there were instances where Grace could have just beaten the game after Alex's initial attempt to save her. After she realized the game was lethal, all she had to do was hide. The family ends up finding her multiple times precisely because she tries to escape to a place outside of the property. One particularly great hiding spot that we get to see in the movie itself is the area where they dump all the bodies. It is an area with no security cameras, is dark, has multiple humanoid figures to hide herself amongst, and is an area that they really wouldn't look for her at. Only issue with that spot was that she only went in there after she was found by the little brat who shot her hand and the door was smashed by her falling through. (honestly, I'm surprised how incompetent these people were that they didn't search down there). Had she climbed down there on her own, the family would probably have failed to find her and lost the game. Even if people came to dump the maids' bodies, they'd just throw them down, not actively search the area. If she's lying down underneath the piles of corpses, she'd been basically undetectable.
The most GRACEful way of thinking
I really like this idea of all the other 7k ppl idea in this comment section
Do you wanna spend 6 hours in a waste pit of decayed bodies from which, if anyone finds you, you are a fish in a barrel; or try to escape?
Remember she only went to the barn because Alex deactivated the lock system
i dont think she knew the game would end by sunrise?
And how tf was she supposed to survive the smell without vomiting her intestines out?
You forgot the brother he’s a massive help and obviously is willing to die to save her.
How I will use the shotgun find the person that has the loaded pistol use the gun butt knock her unconscious pick up the gun in if it alerts the family I will shoot them of if I run out of ammo I will pick up one of the weapons and then kill the rest
And btw you can knock out someone using the gun stock and I will not trust Alex after killing his family and kill him

He didn't turn on her because she killed family members. He turned on her because he realized that after everything that had happened even if she survived she wouldn't have continued their relationship. So being the selfish douche he was like if I can't have you...
Oh
Exactly! This guy gets it.
Also, he didn't go about it business as usual because he secretly believed the curse was real, he did it because the chances of her drawing Hide and Seek were very small. Imagine a game of Russian Roulette, but there's 100 chambers.
@@LnPPersonified I wouldn't believe that it's a small chance, because of how the grandmother's husband picked up that card, and there was at least, from what I remembered mentioned, 4-6 other games.
Could it be a bit of both.
but wouldn't he have died anyway? If she survives everyone in the family dies right? so why even try to get married in the first place if you know that either you or your fiance will die?
The reason why Grace just cant stay hidden all night long is because she probably doesnt even believe that her husbands family will die in the morning and she believes that she has to get out or else her husbands crazy family would kill her
Years later, but yes. At that point she had already discovered that the family is a grouping of serial killers, teaching the kids to follow in their footsteps. For her to remain hidden would require buying into the curse, and ignore the much more real possibility that even if they all saw the sun rise, the family wouldn't kill her for knowing too much before riding off to the sunset amongst themselves.
Yeah I mean this is possible, but when I was watching the movie I remember thinking "just hold out until morning, once the sun comes up and everyone is still alive they will see the curse is fake." Of course the curse ended up being real, and it's definitely a possibility that even if it wasn't real, they would kill grace out of vengeance
" they won't beat the curse if I kill myself first"
Easy win
Edit: some people say that it would be a stalemate or draw or whatever but i win because i get everything i want: they wont beat the curse and i get to leave this mortal coil.

one thing that bothered me, the only family member grace intentionally killed was the mom. she didn’t kill daniel, his wife charity was the one who shot him, alex just assumed it was grace since he didn’t see it

@@Toast-th1ro In the video it's stated that Alex specifically changed sides because Grace killed some of his family members

@@kiak5606
Because horror movie characters make such irrational choices, you can’t wait for them to die

'Dobby never meant to kill. He only meant to maim, or seriously injure.'
Tbh, Emilie cracked me up real good during the whole movie. 🤣🤣🤣
"You better get outta here before my bo es grow back dobby, or I'll beat you"
_just between us did the love affair maim you too?_
Okay so, hear me out: divorce.
I think the couple seconds of her saying “Alex, I want a divorce” right before he dies is what spares her from Mr. Le Bail. Here’s why:
When Alex is explaining how his newly-married family members died by *not* playing the game, he includes their new spouses among the deaths.
So for Grace to *actually* win, it wasn’t about staying alive until sunrise. She’d doom herself too.
It was about separating herself from the family and legally ending the marriage. Le Bail saw that the marriage was over and she found the loophole, which is why he appears and gives her that “damn girl” nod.
I just finished watching the movie and had the same idea as yours. I completely agree.
no i think its bcs she's technically isn't apart of the family yet, bcs the game isn't finished properly
Annulment. She was married under false pretenses and while I bet they've done the deed it technically isn't consummated yet. That matters some places.
Saying "I want a divorce" does not legally divorce you.
@@anubis7457 the paperwork shouldnt be too hard to print off.
I think there _is_ a viable solution for Grace to survive, actually.
Given the large amounts of furniture, she could purposefully set up the rooms such that they only have one opening etc. She can anticipate the enemies coming by making them enter from a single chokepoint. And if she hears a lot of them coming about she can always pull the sofa from the door and sneak out another way, relocate to another part of the mansion etc.
That's provided she somehow manages to get the map early on, though. So it's really tough.
There are a fair amount of rooms you could just investigate. Also rooms like bathrooms and closets are amost always only gonna have 1 entrance.
"You can't win"
The protagonist actually wins
By skill too
She won because they all died in the end For not killing her in time. Did you watch the movie?
Pathetic lol don’t decredit her for surviving so long. If she didn’t resist and fight back, then time wouldn’t have been in her favor
True wis
All of those times were based on position, time and luck.
If she made one wrong move in those moments, she would be either captured, and slaughtered.
Or just killed anyway.
And if the family was more prepared, like they rigged the card draw, if they were more skilled with their weapons, rigged the house full of traps and all, she would be butchered anyway.
The dead family: you werent supposed to do that
Solution: Have him take her last name. And leave the family.
Hannah Avila wow... who cares about after party’s just run the papers and do it the be like peace! Actually Alex won’t be in the deal anymore cause it’s for the family and he change his name so ysah
She did not have a family, though
NooTz She could still have a last name

Advice for your cat:
Cats usually like pets, but when your cat lays on their belly, they doesn’t mean they want belly pets. I mean in some situations maybe they would, but cats usually don’t like people touching their belly. The reason why they roll on their belly’s in frount of you is to show that they trust you, because cats find the belly as their most vulnerable spot. Maybe this will help with you cat problems.
also beyond that, cats always give a warning, if you're not getting it, that's because you're either ignoring it or not paying attention enough
I'm a bit late, but another thing to be careful of is over stimulation. Some cats can get angry and bite/scratch you if they get too much stimulation from petting, primarily on the back. If you still _really_ want to pet the cat, do it on it's head. Additionally, not all cats get angry from over stimulation, and a lot also don't show it until you realize it's claws are in your arm.
An even easier solution: Don't get married, stay in domesticated girlfriend-boyfriend bliss. The curse only activates when you get married, if they never formally got married, the curse wouldn't have activated.
as it's said in the movie, grace wouldn't stay with him if they hadn't gotten married. it was her dream to have a real family of her own, and to her, that could only be achieved by marrying into a family.
@@sonabuvelle7493 that's fair, but she can't have a family if she dies or his entire immediate family dies ---- including him. If he cared he wouldn't have married her, and if that would be a deal breaker for her (not getting married), then they shouldn't have been together
But this world totures unmarried mothers. Just doesn't work that way.

Family: OH SHIT!!! NUKE THE FUCKING HOUSE NOW!
I’m confused. Why would he marry her if he loves her? He would know and if he marries her, they have to kill her. If they don’t, he would die.
The game is randomly determined, the newlyweds don't always play Hide and Seek.
That's because he didn't actually love her. He would rather play the odds and have her stay with him no matter cost. I wouldn't qualify that as love.
@Deborah Tunis Maybe. Depends on how theological we want to be. In older Christian tradition, sex is in and of itself an act of marriage. As in, if you do the do you are married no ifs ands or buts. I'm pretty sure Le Bail is based on the Christian Satan as that character is understood in pop culture, so if they never had sex that would possibly work.
he tells her in the movie that he married her because if he didn't, or told her the truth, she would have left him. He would rather risk her dying than leaving him.

Can we just acknowledge how weird it wouldve been if Alex never went back to his family and they lost a future game of hide and seek..? Cause whether or not he married grace, he’s still a part of the family. So, if somehow he convinced Grace not to get married and they just remained dating and he never went home, she wouldnt be a part of the family, but he’s still blood related. So just imagine Grace and Alex laying in bed, sleeping, then at sunrise, she wakes up covered in blood because her boyfriend inexplicably spontaneously exploded. And who would explain it to her...? the whole fam would be dead...! It’d be the weirdest shít... but *that’s* the movie *I want* .

you know what i like the most about this movie is that the protag isn't invincible.
spoilers below
she gets shot through the hand, nearly sliced open by the fence, and stabbed in the shoulder by the end. she is clearly traumatized by the end and at one point is just like a cornered animal with a knife before the family started exploding
I mean that’s the same thing either every horror movie protagonist to be fair Laurie strode got her arm sliced and was traumatised for I think it was 40 years? A lot of horror movie protagonists actually die but it’s usually in a sequel and I do agree with you to some extent since Ripley didn’t get injured once in alien and tbh she didn’t actually seem too phased by the whole thing
mark my words, in 2021 there's gonna be a duck-duck-goose horror movie.

They never checked the elevator she was hiding in at the beginning so she could’ve stayed there the whole time
Wasn't that before she knew it was life or death? I believe she left the elevator because she got tired of waiting and wandered out to be found and end the game. And later somebody died in the elevator, ruining it as a hiding place.
Brittany Reacts true but I wasn’t saying that it should’ve happened anyone in there right mind would leave but no one ever did check there so theoretically she could’ve stayed there the whole time and won be they didn’t do that because the movie would’ve been terrible and wouldn’t sell
she would have died. the dancer was there right. so if the dancer saw her the dancer will call the family thus kill her
hwangyunie would she though? She was going to hide in the shaft elevator to get away from the family she might’ve just ran away to another hiding spot and if she did call the family over grace could’ve easily made the elevator go down and they might not of found her
@@Drklra well i mean theres 5 other possibilities of where that elevator ends up. if they know shes there they can coordinate themselves, therefor trapping her on either floor she stops on
Hehe she had the "devil's luck." Maybe the devil wanted the family to break the contract. So he lent grace his luck.
it might be because she made a toast to him
He did
He certainly wanted them to break it.

Grace was always going to survive though. Her name literally means mercy from God, so the good of God was basically engrained on her side, which is the only thing that can basically beat the devil, which is what the family made a deal with.

@@redhead_bebs I think that le bail was helping her because the family was a bunch of thots and f-bois
@@redhead_bebs That's because she is the main character of the movie, if this was a real life situation she wouldn't really survive, specially if the family well planned for this.
More like…
Grace: “How about I do so anyway?”
imagine seeing a job ad online like "Looking for cook/maid!" and you show up expecting to pay your bills but you get fucking crushed in a dumbwaiter.
Also, why they had to participate? I probably being helping the bride or going home!
this was f*cking traumatizing
@@theGhostSteward Idk I don’t think they had to participate. Just notify the family when they see her and ensure she doesn’t escape. As the butler and maids never try to kill grace and only try to help the family find her (aside from when the Butler swung a knife at her in self defense)
Also I think there’s a risk of the maids and butler going to the police about the neighborhood of homicidal satanists.

@@Boudi45 agree
Solution: set fire to the house.
This does depend on Grace getting hold of at least some matches or a lighter, or getting to the kitchen. That old house sure does seem to have a lot of old drapes and carpets and super-burnable bookcases and booze, and no sprinklers or fire extinguishers in sight. She starts the fire and lets it spread. First of all, its the best kind of distraction for her. Plus if the family is inept at hunting her down, they're going to be equally inept at fighting a fire. They (or their neighbors) will have to end up calling the fire department, which will bring the police as well and tie up the estate with potential witnesses to their crimes for hours. All that will give Grace plenty of time to sneak away or to openly come out and talk to the police and firefighters.
I do think it's unlikely that most people would think of this off the bat, but as the scenario played out the victim got more desperate it might. And I do think it's a workable solution.
This is a better solution
I do remember the house catching fire towards the end. No one noticed, so they kept hunting grace. It didn’t play a role until they failed and the curse killed them and accelerated the fire. So in order for it to work, Grace would have to start the fire intentionally and have a planned escape route so she doesn’t burn in the fire too
I was thinking find the boiler room/heater and blow that, like The Shining (book).
This wouldn’t work because it depends on Alex telling her the family wants to kill her. Why would she set fire to a house to win a game of hide and seek when she doesn’t even have to win it or know the people playing are trying to kill her.
She needs some sort of mask for the fire, or the smoke will kill her.
If she could take a clean piece of cloth out of her wedding dress, put it under the water and burn the house she could however succeed in your plan
Her husband only switched sides after he realised she was going to leave him regardless considering the shit-show he led her into. So if she'd just kept his hope alive long enough to wipe out his family or survive the night, she could have used him and survived.
Grace: **barely survives through cleverly adapting to situations, the family being inept, and the curse being real**
"PLOT ARMOR!"
This is an important point. The family was inept, because rich. That was the whole point, I think: they had gone soft and the game is how Le Bail gets out of the contract after a few generations
@@jwhite-1471 I mean, I've never hunted but I now what's a trigger and how I don't have to push it with the crossbow pointing at someone. Even more, literally never point a crossbow at someone at least you want to kill him or something
She should have changed clothes too. They're expecting her in a white dress and might think shes someone else and its easier for her to run and get away.
Gillian Glasses I mean the two maids that Alex's sister killed were wearing all black
nah, that wouldn’t work because they shot the two maids dead bc they thought it was her. So if anything, she would be in more danger than with the white dress
Also consider that it's not that easy to remove a wedding dress
but its a really nice dress though. the kind of thing you only get to wear once in your life. need to make that moment last!!!
She looks badass in that wedding dress , thank god she didn't change her clothes before the game XD
I feel like some of these solutions could’ve incorporated Daniel. He was clearly willing to help her, that should’ve been taken into consideration. I think in the end he was more loyal to Grace than Alex was. (Also, they had way more chemistry)
yeah, she made a mistake marrying Alex. Daniel however....

I thought about that but she tries several times throughout the film to convince Daniel to help her, and he kinda sorta does and also doesn't, only making a hard choice right at the end. I couldn't think if a clean way to incorporate Daniel because he was too unpredictable until the last moments of the film.
@@FilmHerald You are a pretty cool dude, Late Happy New Year!
@@FilmHerald she could have worked with the fact that they need her alive to do the ritual, either threatening to kill herself or destroying the thingy that they use for the ritual
One strategy I thought of was never officially marrying her, just keep her as a fiance, so they never must play the game. And if the want children, they could just have children and give them the last name of the domas. But Alex would have to prepare, but if he figured this out, it wouldn't danger either his family, or fiance. Or just nuke em. That normally works
Yeah, just in case probably wouldn't give them the Domas last name, just in case
Theres clearly only one solution to this scenario
Divorce
That's what my mom said

thisuserlovesyou andstraykids yes,yes we are
lmao
No, we are not. It was appreciated
Yes
I just thought of something
Let’s say she didn’t know she was going to be killed and sacrificed while playing the game and wasn’t told about it during the game. Wouldn’t it then be smarter for the family to not have weapons and simply try to find her? The weapons only serve a purpose if she knows she’s going to be sacrificed. The family could find her and say something along the lines of come with us so we can finish the game or tradition, they take her to the sacrifice room and then incapacitate her and then sacrifice her, the weapons are more of a detriment to there hunting then a help.
Bruh whose side are u on lmao
PewPewPies I’m just pointing out that the family could have easily won this and this is something in the movie which didn’t make sense
TH-camSaidToCreateAUsername oh wow this is smart but they probably didnt think of this- also ignore that just for the sake of entertainment
Well they DID cheat (by attempting to use the security cameras). I agree that logically, they would rig the game and use deception to basically win by default. However, in the context of the film, they are playing a game. Their family legacy is built upon the concept of beating the odds. I.e. did you draw the wrong card? It's based on chance, luck, and skill (the latter of which they clearly lack). Grace had a string of horrible bad luck, but she got herself out of trouble using her wit.
The family was very superstitious and tried following the (implied) rules of Hide and Seek, in fear of the consequences.
I mean in that case why even play the game at all, just drug her, tie her up and do the sacrificey thing. They're rich eccentric assholes. This is the kind of shit rl rich eccentric assholes do. That's why the real way to beat these guys is with guillotines.
this movie is the EPITOME of realizing you got the lame brother
I have a solution. They never get married. They could have kids, they could have a civil union. If he thought the curse was real, never get officially married.
Edit: To add to this. This would go for the whole family. None of them ever get married. They'd cheat the devil by getting the wealth without ever having to play the game and they'd keep getting heirs
Their kids must do the game I guess
They address this in the movie. Alex never wanted to get married, and blames Grace for the whole situation because she was pressuring the situation so he did it. (even though he could have just told her a reason why he didn't believe in marriage) I believe eloping was not an option because past family tried it before and they were the ones that died.
Civil union in the best option for them but Alex never took the time to give Grace a reason not to want marriage.
@@LaCrownedGamer yeah but my solution goes to the whole family. To never get married. They'd be able to cheat the devil. They family gets to be rich and prosperous and it'd continue the grow they'd just never get married
@@raien6092 i don't think so because a baby can't play hide and seek and they never mentioned any kids playing the game. Even so sadly you might just have to sacrifice a kid once every like 40 years
@@jayceewilliams5250 that would be the best solution, in the movie it wasn't stated what would happen if people never got married so it would be path of unknown, I'd say try it :).
The only thing I can see happening is either the devil coming back to revamp his deal or just taking away the family fortune with each new generation of non-married couples, both of which are way better than death.

One thing I really liked about this film is that, to me, it really does all seem to be about playing the game. What I mean is, at the end of the film when the family realises they've lost, they don't immediately die- it's only after the Aunt tries to kill her anyway that they start blowing up like water balloons full of mince meat. I genuinely feel like the deal they made is entirely hinged upon respecting the game itself, and not on who wins or loses- like Alex said, she didn't have to win to be a part of the family. I think the same goes for the rest of them- they didn't have to win to fulfil their end of the deal, they just had to play the game.
This. I initially thought the twist was they were unnecessary killing supposed-to-be members of the family and they could have just went along their merry way in the beginning if they realised no one really has to win or lose and play just for the sake of the game.
Grace should've married Daniel lol
If she would’ve married Dan.... he would have PREPARED a backpack FOR HER survival. They would really make a good couple.
grace shouldn’t have married
She shouldn’t have married in the first place! If Alex really loved her he wouldn’t have married her and risk her pulling out the bad card
But we gotta admit, Daniel was more helpful than Alex.
@@sunoo_sun2162 honestly he was the best family member there.
the reason the le domas’ play this game at all is because of a deal with the devil. so how you beat it is very simple

Best solution 😁
Nah bro, just send in Meliodas. He’ll sort ‘em out in a flash. Actually, maybe Ban would be better. You can’t sacrifice someone who can’t die.
Make a deal with the Devil to break the curse
Shadow Marco Uh, the curse was the result of a deal with the devil. That’s how the whole problem started. Their ancestor got greedy, and they suffered as a result.
Alex could've prepared a place safe enough for grace to hid in. He should've prepared the worst case scenario which is drawing the one bad card. The rule is to not be found till sunrise, she just needs to win the game.
Alex doesn’t really want Grace to survive, deep down he loves his family and believes in the curse and that means he wants Grace to die, even if he may have convinced himself otherwise.
itsanna07 Not really that he loves his family, but he does believe in the curse and it would mean he’d die too. He’d also lose his part of the inheritance were he to help Grace and lose in the process.
Alex wouldn’t sacrifice himself to let his wife grace continue to live. He would have exploded if he tried to save grace
13 seekers with 6.25 hours to find her amounts to 81.25 man hours. It would be as if someone hid a dummy and gave you two full work weeks to find it. Do you really think she could go unnoticed, even in a building that large, for over 6 hours while over a dozen people look for her?
I think Alex is a good guy, yes he brought grace to the house, which is dumb, but there are more horror movie characters with fewer braincells than Alex. When his wife kill his mom in front of him, he probably just had a rush of anger or didn't want any more of his family getting killed. Him begging for mercy is probably just him being afraid of death. No one wants to explode.

@@Miraculousdragoneyes i agree, the curse would not pass to her, but she should get an actual legal inheritance of the family fortune. Assuming Alex doesn't have a will because most people his age don't, everything would go to his wife, who never actually killed him, so the slayer rule shouldn't apply. If I remember correctly, Alex was the last one to die, so everything should go to him. (Of course this would be assuming the police believe her story XD)
@@ziwuri tie it into The Winchester House movie, she uses the fortune to start building endlessly to create the perfect "hide and seek" home.
Alex did not turn on Grace when he saw that she killed his mom. Alex told his own mom that he would kill her if they harmed Grace. He turned on Grace when he realized that she wouldn't be with him after what she went through because of him and his family.
If I was in this situation I’d probably try to distract them than make an escape. The house seems to have a lot of candles in it so I’d set fire to a wing of the house, maybe even setting multiple fires so that it burns quicker and causes more commotion. I think it’s fair to assume that a lot of the family would be distracted or panicked by the fire burning their house to the ground so while the majority is in or near that wing of the building find a window that you can reasonably climb through and break it with some furniture (sorry if the glass is said to be reinforced or something but I don’t think they said so explicitly). Hide out somewhere in the woods until dawn, if I found that dead body pit, as mentally scarring as it might be, I might try to hide out there as it doesn’t seem like anyone was checking it and most family members seemed just a bit too sqimish to go in or look super closely. Not a foolproof plan by any means but I think it would give you a decent shot of survival.
Fenris ChainedCaseySloop OMG that’s right. It’s a rustic ancient ass mansion; of course it has candles everywhere. JUST SET FIRE TO THE BITCH AND DIP OUT A WINDOW
@@crimsonmaverick8237 Fire spread way quickly then people believe, a wing would become a house in not less in ten minutes.
The Complexed Even better; so once a couple candles are thrown down, there’s already a foolproof diversion to escape the house
Not to mention the fact that old mansions burn really fast.
2 things the devil might protect the house from burning because of the deal and you would die in the fire most likely
Isn’t the reason he betrayed her was because she would leave him after this? “If I can’t have her, no one can” scenario? He did say that he’d kill his own mom.
I thought it was cause she killed his mom and so he decided to help the fam. He didn't warn her about the game because he thought she would leave him
I think in the film, if they stay married, the rest of the family dies and they survive. But if she divorces him, he dies along with his family 🤔
And after killing his mom, she meets him and she rejects him
When he saw his dead mom I thought he was thinking, “Heeeeyyy, I wanted to kill her. No fair!” Jokingly.
“You won’t be with me after this, will you” were his words before he betrayed her. Nothing about his mother. And the fact his FAMILY killed his brother, the only family he cared about. He didn’t tell about his family’s “traditions” because she would leave. He married her because if he didn’t she would leave.
To be fair they were all nervous so they made more mistakes than they would've have done if they were more prepared, plus one of them was literally high and wasn't in full control of her abilities. Grace was also full of adrenaline, and all of that combined with the fact that at first there was someone helping her, I personally found it pretty believable she survived. I had a lot of fun watching this movie and I love watching these videos, I always look forward to Film Herald videos on the movies I watch 💜
Quick question - what if we came at this from another angle: attract as many people as possible to the area and use it to get out? The house is on a large forested estate, and from what I gather the house uses a lot of wood in its structure/furniture - what if you used the cooking oils and matches from the kitchen and started a massive fire? That would attract the fire, ambulance and police units and you'd have enough distraction to get out?
Good idea.
I think the issue still remains. Everyone is out to get her and she will be caught. The fire will restrict the amount of the property she can hide in making it easier for her to be caught. I like the idea though
Danny Phantom
Maybe the police and fire department will get there in time. Sure, the house seems pretty far away from any other buildings but if Grace could just get a weapon, run, and hide for long enough she could just wait it out, it’s not that hard to sneak up on someone and beat them with a gun, especially since they don’t expect it. Plus, the fire could also distract the family since they probably don’t want their house burning down.
itsanna07 it’s a good idea and I wouldn’t have thought of it. It works but also relies on luck. In the movie she was caught with the whole house so she has less of a chance now and could even die in the fire. In all fairness, the family would be even less coordinated in a fire and some members might even up and leave because they think the curse is fake so it has ups and downs. It could work but isn’t full proof. Good idea though
it could work i’m not disagreeing, however the house starts to burn at the end but the family is relentless and WILL NOT give up. they’re still trying to sacrifice her even when their house is burning and they’re all in danger. even the kids remain in the house to see the ritual through. fire is the least of their concerns
I think that if he loved her at all they wouldn’t get married, they could just stay boyfriend and girlfriend.
The family could of forced it
He said it in the movie if Im not mistaken that if he didnt marry her she'd leave
@@Dani-du7je oh ok I didn't watch the film I was just thinking that

So... Were going to ignore the fact that we can distract? There's 77 rooms, set a few on fire, the firetrucks, ambulance and police would all show up. It's hard to sacrifice someone in front of the police officers
Oh my gosh. That’s such a good idea
I think if I were her, I'd just be scared the cops would be corrupt too and in on it. So often in movies/series, they call for help only for the help to arrive and be discovered to be working with the villains they're trying to escape from in the first place (example: I Spit On Your Grave; the police officer she finds ends up raping her too and bringing her back to her original captors). These people are super rich, it's not too far a stretch to think they'd be in it too. At the point where she talks to the trip help guy in the car, I thought that was gonna be a twist where he was gonna turn out to be in on it too
@@ssnow08 either way it would distract the family and allow grace to escape
@@ssnow08 Where on earth do you live that that's a legitimate concern? I know about 50 officers in my city they are all chill people xD

I think there is the fact that she sort of tried to survive. When we see her she's not waiting to be saved. And if I was at this situation I'm very lazy. Very soon I'd be like: "Please just kill me I'm too tired." But when we look at her she uses every moment to make it harder. Kinda like her mindset was OK IF YOU GONNA KILL ME YOU HAVE TO EARN IT.
This movie reminds me of a Japanese legend were they groom a girl to be pure and innocent from birth, sheltering her from the outside world, then sacrificing her through a brutal and torturous ritual. The ritual has to happen once during a set about of years or decades, maybe it was once every 100 years, I forgot. But in the legend, the girl actually broke away from the family one night and met a young man her age, thus ruining the pure nature they raised her to be, thus tainting her and the family only find out when they preform the ritual which has served a demon sealing ritual to prevent a curse, similar to the movie. The movie comes across like an Americanized version of the story, but it could be a coincidence that the movie and legend are so similar.
This sounds interesting. Do you happen to know the name of this legend?
Jocose Sonata they’re different versions of the story out there, but a good place to start is ‘Himuro Mansion’.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Grace wouldn’t have drawn hide and seek... like what if the game was monopoly or something lmao
Isn’t it strange that hide and seek would’ve the only game for the losers to explode into bits?
Imagine if the game was monopoly and if she got into debt or however you lose at monopoly (I lost my playing rights a long time ago after I tried to choke someone with a house or something) and she would die although I don't know what would happen if another family member lost...
Since all the other games are non-lethal, the family would just have to beat her in monopoly and they keep their wealth and status. It was only Hide and Seek that "Mr. Le Bail" demands a sacrifice.
What if its just a game of Among Us?

I honestly believe that the only reason Alex decided to betray Grace and side with his family towards the end was because he believed she would leave him after that night.
Earlier in the film we see Grace tell Alexs' mother that Alex was perfectly happy living in sin but he married her because she insisted on becoming a family due to her past with foster care.
Later Alex tells Grace that he married her because she would have left if he didn't ( again as she was driven by her desire for a family) .
He didn't tell her about the murder because he didn't want to scare her away.
When he finally decided to side with his family it's after she moves away from him, scared, and he says something like" you're going to leave me after this, aren't you".
In the end Grace calls him a selfish fuck and I completely agree.
Which is why if she lied about staying with him even after the game, he probably would have continued to help her.
I think he wanted to kill her because if she saves her and let his family die he would be alone as she would leave him, but if he let her die he would still have his family
I saw "ready or not" and didnt realize that it was NOT talking about the 5 player realistic police game and instead about a romance film
Further weight to your theory: if Grace lives then Alex dies (as he’s a family member the curse applies to him).
My take on Alex is he just hoped she didn’t draw that card (odds were very good for this) and then once they payed whatever safe game she did pick they could move on. Sure, the curse would still exist but then Grace would be safe from it, albeit now cursed like him, which is the real issue for me with him.
Alex condemns Grace by marrying her no matter what. He’s an ass. I cheered his death.
Side note: Favourite death from the film is the housekeeper in the dumb waiter. I know. And Grace trying to save her was a great character moment showing she was kind even when betrayed.
couldnt the family just use a maid as a sacrifice? i mean, they kill some in the movie, and they seem to put up a lot just for one person. they couldve just used a maid, tbh.
That's what snitches get
@@haamsters4890 it has to be a spouse I think.

seriously? that defeats my whole point then.
Yeah, Alex was never a good guy. He was just kind of a pussy who wanted to weasel his way out of his end of the bargain. He wasn't heroically protecting Grace, he just sat back and hoped for the best, and when that didn't happen he tried to keep her alive in a way that would have benefited _him,_ not her. As soon as things swung against him, he turned on her. Alex was always a tool.

For the first solution, I don’t think Grace would want to cheat. She wants to join the family and wants to show a good expression, as seen in the wedding and before. I think she would want to win properly and feel more determined to play properly.
They specifically mention that some of his cousins tried eloping and staying away from them but were found dead shortly after. Doesn’t exactly go against the “Curse is real. I love family more theory.” But felt like it was an important piece of the puzzle.
The important lesson of this movie is learn survival skills before marrying into a Rich Family. 😁

But just telling her and not getting married would. If the Le Domas family would just stop getting married they would avoid the curse all together and keep their wealth, as being part of the family is clearly defined by getting married and so being together and having children without getting married would then create a new family.
