Review exorcist 3 for the fans
I just watched a playthrough of a incredible Chinese horror game, Paper Dolls, with John Wolfe. It is really cool and scary. Check it out if you want a good game that's Asian horror.
Imma need another video sponsered by them so i can hear the song again
As a native chinese speaker, the translations about “throwing her away” is actually totally accurate HAHA she says “丢掉” which is literally throw away
That's so sad. I was hoping it was just an error. 🥲
So watch it in Mandarian with subtitles? Or english w subtiles?
@@tomolvera3383 mandarin with English subs
Oh shit that is actually sad. I thought she actually meant something like “give me up”.
Agreed, I noticed that too! 你是中国人吗?
Something about mistagg reassuring everyone that everything related to the curse in the movie being fake is really wholesome for some reason.
Agreed. Some people watching may be superstitious or something and may feel a bit uncomfortable by that point (especially the symbol eye trick) so him explicitly telling them it was all fictional was actually really thoughtful.
I appreciate it tbh, tried watching it with a cousin but she got freaked out with the whole eye trick, almost had a panic attack at the end of the movie thinking we were getting a curse or something. Gonna send her this video now lmao
Yop, I’m not a very religious person but I do believe in ghosts and actively avoid to piss them off. So I’m glad it was all fake.
Yeah, it's really great.
Ikr, I sometimes deal with delusions when my mental health tanks and stuff like that can honestly be so reassuring
1 saving grace of overthinking the implications of this movie is that because the curse gets more and more diluted the more people watch it the curse evolves from the "a demon will possess you and literally use your body to shoot yourself" into like "you will lose 50 cents when you check into your pocket" and I think its somewhat soothing
This is hilarious and deserves more love.
That sounds like such a fun concept, by the time the curse reaches enough people it's like the general population has lost a single point in their "luck" stat.
will it eventually start giving positives?
@@aisaacux8549”you get stabbed but the knife only perfectly cuts out a tumor while leaving the rest of your body unharmed”
how about "you will ALWAYS" be $0.50 short of whatever you wanna buy...ALWAYS
I thought it was creepy specifically because the whole “if you think about it too much you’re inviting it in” thing especially freaks me out, bc I already have weird ass intrusive thoughts to begin with lol
in magick and occultism thats actually a real thing. The more you put yourself in the mood the more you attract entities, like shining a beacon in the astral that they can see.
@@j.2512 yet by the same logic perception can alter the threat aka if you think about the supernatural alot but constantly rationalize and limit or explain it it lessens your fears about it even if you belive it as it begins to feel less "unknown'.
aka if you belive in demons but think possensions are hyper rare and diffcult to occur your at way less risk then someone who thinks it could happen at any moment.
Definitely don't look up Solar Plexus Clown Gliders then
then you’ll be the one to go first 😂 Hell i’ll be right with you my mind will get me killed immediately 😂

i watched another analysis about this film and they provided a pretty good theory about Ms. Hsia's death. Ms. H is dead even though she didn't watch the video probably because she asked another god to protect Dodo. The slip that Ms. Hsia gave to Ronan is actually an amulet to protect Dodo (that's why Dodo's name is on it). People usually get this kind of amulet by praying to god in temple to ask for blessing and protection. Dodo is chosen and possibly protected by Mother Buddha, and by asking other god to protect Dodo, Ms. H pissed Mother Buddha off so she was cursed and killed.
I was about to comment the same, by Ms H trying to protect Dodo from MB. She pissed MB and got herself killed.
Explains the brutality then damn, thanks both of ya
Damn that explanation makes alot of sense
Honestly, I love the Mother Buddha face reveal. It reminds me a lot of something you might see in a Junji Ito book, like in Uzumaki when the one girl's face just sort of spirals into itself. I'm also loving all the cultural information and perspectives people are offering in the comment section; I think it does really help to understand the movie, knowing the religious and cultural implications of the events in the plot. Awesome video as usual!
I think its the best possible thing they can show. It would be hard to be scared if it was just a face. BUT subvert that and make it a faceless void instead, and it works with the themes.
Oh God, that part traumatized the heck out of me from that movie. To be honest, I think it caused me to develop a phobia for nasty-looking holes now. 😨😵
@@okami-chan9772 me too
I agree! The face is so unnatural, unexpected, and mysterious that it instantly blew me away. I loved/hated it in the best way lol
Is it just the lighting, or do the walls of the hole appear to be covered in blood?! Like a scooped out face ugh!!
13:37
That's actually foreshadowing. Ronan actually knew about the curse the entire time. She got her daughter for that very purpose, hoping to alleviate her own curse by replacing the Chosen Child with Dodo. That's why she gets her to chant her own name the very first night in the house. But somewhere down the line, she said she ending up falling in love with her daughter. So she went from trying to save herself to trying to save her daughter. Even sacrificing herself in the end. It's sad and messed up on Ronan's part, but I guess that's just human nature, to want to preserve your own life
what??? hold on, my brain is fried right now after editing, let me come back to this comment tomorrow lol
@@MistaGG lol ok. I'm enjoying the video so far btw
I understood it and literally got emotional in the end of the movie for this reason 😭
This didn’t even occur to me! Thanks!!
HOLY SHIT. You're right!! I had not caught that!
I felt so bad for Ronan during the movie, because her friends and boyfriend were the biggest assholes and she didn't do shit to get this curse. She didn't break down a temple shrine door or mock a religion, she just spent time with a disturbed kid for a little bit.
yeah i feel bad for her too, but what did she expect, she decided to go even though she knew that something was bound to happen when they went.
@@this_my_sausage8491 I don't think she thought people would die, just some "oooh spooky weird rituals," and that's about it.
@@shadowdroid776 No she is not that innocent
She brought Dodo home to feed Dodo to the black Buddha at first because after the tunnel event she lived in fear from black Buddha that she scared to even think about her name.
The prove is right after she brought Dodo home she told Dodo her name and made Dodo read it and terrible things started happen
she know the result of saying your real name if you rewatch it you’ll find out she didn’t mention her name until the end of the movie
But after lived with Dodo some days and saw Dodo suffer from the curse she gradually change her mind and decided to let us share the curse for Dodo so she posted “this documentary “showed the black Buddha face to the audiences
That’s why in the whole movie you keep seeing the symbol and the spell she even tricked us it is a bless in the beginning and told us to say our name
The curse is not real but this is why this movie is so good.😂😂
@@noheaven209 no she thought what she saw and dealt with was all a result of mental illness. That was shown in the movie. She soon realized that it was real and got upset she brought her child into this.
@@shadowdroid776 Well that's a silly line of logic, because none of them thought anyone would die probably.
if i remember correctly, the reason why they all deteriorated/got affected by the curse differently is based on how much they knew about the curse itself which is why guy who wanted to be Dodo's dad and doctor died quickly as they either researched about the cursed and/or saw the final video of Rona's friends. (they essentially got a crash course on the curse if they watched it) and the only reason why Rona didn't get affected by the curse until much later is because she "offered" her unborn baby to Mother Buddha (i.e. when it was revealed she was pregnant and urged to offer her child as well, so she was being spared as Dodo was the expected to be the NEW SACRIFICE) But since she rescinded that offer as she grew to love Dodo and wanted her to live freely (why she went to the monk in the first place and tried to find a way to end the curse), but when nothing worked she instead decided to bear the Sacrifice role instead of Dodo and had us cursed as well to ensure that the remaining curse on Dodo gets lessened. hope this helps! ^7^
tk u
This ^ lol I'm glad someone paid attention
There were signs that Ronan planned this from the beginning. The closet with statues, her hair,tooth and everything was placed waiting for Ronan. I think she thought she could offer up Dodo in her place, because she didn’t expect to fall in love with her. At the end, she said she didn’t know when, but she loved the girl.
That’s disturbing
She didn’t plan it from the beginning
Nice theory, since the movie doesn't specify it or explain what it really means, it's actually very interesting that you can have many interpretation of this movie
@@KimJongUnnie She did planed it from the beginning, but she's acting to be innocent all the time. She wanted to offer up Dodo.
@@KimJongUnnieShe did, she learned about the curse when she was pregnant. The Great Aunt even tells her she can offer up her child’s name. She did that at some point to protect herself from the curse.
I think that, with the monk scene, it's supposed to show that Ronan knew about the curse from the beginning. When she's teaching Dodo to write her name right after taking her home, that's apparently her TRYING to pass the curse from her onto Dodo. She then feels guilty when she sees Dodo is cursed, and attempts to reverse it the rest of the movie. Dunno how accurate that is but it's what I've read
That makes sense, just finished the movie and came her to get some jokes. I’ve been trying to figure out why she even brought her home in the first place if she knew all about the curse when she was still pregnant. But your explanation makes the most sense.
Yeah the little girl saying "did you throw me away because you were scared of the monsters " could mean two things as well. One being dodo thought the mom didn't want her to get "sick" so she sent her away or two the mom threw her away (giving her soul up) in order to cure herself. I feel like guilt plays a big role when you see the mom crying after eating and allowing dodo to believe that they are both starving. Just like the girl with the missing ear, dodo is kinda like a sacrifice. That leads me to think that maybe dodo is also a "blessed" child maybe that's why she didn't immediately die after being cursed because the intent was different? (Like her purpose to be a sacrifice). That's just speculation.
@@kyliesmith521No I think she was hoping the curse was fake, I mean remember nobody believed her and it had been 6 years. She was told NOT to say Dodo’s real name… but she did and well that’s when all hell broke loose.
Ronan has mother buddha statues at her place because she was still trying to bear that curse or whatever. After seeing the end, we know that she'd been involved with it all this time. I think she was planning on sacrificing her child, but fell in love with her baby so she ended up wanting to save her instead.
I know this is stupid, but I do really appreciate you warning us about the reveal of the face before showing it, and making a point to say the chant an everything was made up for the film. I have really bad anxiety, and while I know it's fake, because it's a movie, and everything, it's still something does really trigger my anxiety. I just wanted to thank you for a small, but greatly appreciated gesture.
Same here
Same! I don't believe in stuff like that and rationally I know it's not real but sadly my anxiety doesn't care :')
Exposure therapy will help (or CBT, might be thinking the wrong thing for anxiety), so do it often!

@@lainiwakura1776 I believe CBT is primarily for things such as Borderline? At least that was the original intention
This concept is actually really common in a lot of Asian movies, particularly Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Vietnamese films. Sharing a curse is a huge superstition in these cultures. There's even a Japanese movie very similar to this one that I recently watched, where a bunch of teenage girls invoke a curse by accident. At the end, the surviving girls curse the audience so they can live decades peacefully before the curse gets back around to them (they found a way to skip over themselves, but the curse always comes back). They then apologise to the audience for involving them, admitting it's selfish but determined to live.
Another non asian mansplaining our culture to us. And doing it incorrectly 😋
Do you know what the Japanese movie is called?

Ok so, the thing about her being pregnant, if you take into account the fact that she says a couple of times that the more you know about the curse, the more it effects you, it implies that everything is happening because she knows so much. And the video of her pregnant shows she knows everything.
This movie hits even harder within a Buddhist cultural context. Statues of some Buddhist figures do have covered faces, particularly wrathful deities (using the word deity here loosely). I learned that this was to prevent those of us not spiritually strong of mind from looking upon the wrathful deity's face and questioning Buddhist belief and doctrine. So, to look at the Mother Buddha face is to directly pervert the Buddhist doctrine of the temple. This explains the heaviness of the action within the film. The gang signs (lol) used by the temple are mudras, used as ritual gestures for the purpose of meditation or prayer. There do also exist some more gorey Buddhist stories or rituals, so that too is somewhat rooted within realism although it usually would not be to that extent and such rituals are rare. One example would be Chöd, a Tibetan Buddhist ritual meditation in which you offer yourself physically to demons to be eaten and separate yourself moreso from your flesh (which is an earthly attachment). Typically though these are simply ritualistic thought experiments. To avoid the curse by giving up all attachment, even your name, seems suitable as well. The twist that Ronan was trying to spread the curse and offload it from herself was really interesting. I did not expect it at all. I might have to check out the movie.
I enjoyed it without the context and now I'm kind of itching to watch it again with this context because this really does change the whole movie! I think you'd enjoy it, just maybe watch it during the daytime if you're scared easily lol. It's not the scariest movie I've seen but it is definitely gripping, like I couldn't look away.
PS thank you for the context it seriously brings so much light to the more ritualistic aspects of this film :)
Double edit-- an unformed thought but the idea of you not being allowed to look at certain buddhas faces for your own protection reminds me of when I was a kid and we weren't allowed to take communion because if you eat Jesus' body without already being 'saved' you'll have a one way ticket to hell. Or something like that lolol. Idk I can kind of understand it, as you don't want people who are not spiritually strong to partake in more dangerous spiritual rites.
@@mightymeatymech uh oh they never said that, I took communion many times before I got baptized :( I got baptized late though so I already had a strike.
@@mightymeatymech oh, i dont remember that part about communion, i just remember it was frowned upon due to its religious meaning

Now I may have to read about buddhism.... because I am curious about it.
No cap, Im not superstitious but I appreciate the "it's not real" at the end because, in my opinion, they did quite the job of making it seem like it's real. I usually laugh at people who exaggerate on the occult but I understand the mom's reaction because my ass would've turned it off too lmao.

Not sure if you noticed, but everything starts going to shit because the mom starts to say Dodo's real name and the spirit recognized it, seeing as her name was offered up during the ritual as well. Dodo's nickname therefore was most likely made to avoid using her real name which I say is plausible because in my culture (I am hmong which borrows from many other asian cultures) you would change your name whenever you're severely sick so the spirit or curse won't be able to recognize and afflict you.
Proud of Taiwan’s media production and how it’s steadily coming into it’s own in terms of aesthetic and story telling. This movie reminded me of Taiwanese indie horror game “Devotion” because they both capture elements of the country so well.
The first scene wasn't abrupt! It started after Ronon made Dodo write her real name. You pledge your real name to the god, as Ronon did for herself and her unborn daughter and are not allowed to ever say those names again. While Ronon calls Dodo "Dodo", the god can't claim her as your name/fate/life are tied in this conception of religion.
Wait, so you didn’t understand that the mother knew about the curse and she brought the daughter back specifically to lift her own curse off using the daughter? That’s why she teaches her her name the first day and that’s why all the shit starts happening
But at the near ending she sacrificed herself for her daughter??
@@tocaeli5683 in the footage she says “I don’t know the exact moment when I started loving you” (don’t remember the exact words), meaning she felt bad doing so and decided to step up and protect her daughter
@@thisishowitallends9321 That line actually made so much more sense now that you put it that way! Damn, how did I not notice that?

@@thisishowitallends9321 The mother is a villain protagonist who saves her daughter from her own machinations. It is impressive the way the movie (and the acting) make you sympathize with her. Although, if not for the twist that she was a villain protagonist (if that was at the beginning) it probably wouldn't have worked.
Bro, mad respect for blurring out the trypophobia scene. I would’ve thrown up, died, resurrected, and died again.

I wanted to watch it but after the trypophobia TW, I will not lmao
I liked the Mother Buddha's face. To me, it felt like a representation of that whole "if you stare too long at the void, it stares back at you", as well as the "knowledge that is not wished to be known" from the Mandela Catalogue.
It also explains why Dodo develops those weird wounds. I like to imagine that the Buddha Mother was gumming on her like a 1000 year old grandma with no dentures
Yes I liked its design!
Someone else already explained it in another comment, but in Buddhism, certain figues do have their statues' faces covered up, because if someone who's not spiritually strong looked at them, they might question the belief and doctrine.
it freaked the out of me
Scariest shit was when she said I didn’t have to say it and that I could just think it. Everyone knows obviously it’s the curse but man that is so invasive to think the only escape is to just stop watching. Also breaking into my mind opens the door that anytime I think about something demonic/supernatural it could inadvertently be a beacon for all that shit.
Yeah some people do believe that. Like some heavy christians/Catholics won't even speak demons' names for that reason. I'm not sure what my opinion on it is. I've messed with ouija boards before and stuff like that. But idk if I should have lol
This is the same as Roku's Basilisk. Which is a thought experiment, I highly recommend finding a video explaining it if interested. Though it's considered bad knowledge to have, lol.
@@mynamewastakin That one doesn’t both me as much. But Mr. Basilisk I support your creation just to sorta cover my bases.
@@mightymeatymech yup, my mom isnt heavy christian or anything but she refuses to watch movies with anything demonic related, which is funny considering she played with a board younger and use to watch ghost/paranormal stuff with us
but actually yes, you emit a light in the astral plane that elementals latch onto so if you are in the right state you are calling them, this is literally high magick lore. Why so many magicians tell people to not be playing with ouja
For the end of the movie, the reason Ronan got cursed was not coz who sees the face probably gets cursed but because whoever reveals the face gets cursed.
And seeing the face lol
That makes sense! I got confused as to why she did that when she blocked her eyes.
after having a horrible day, seeing Mista gg upload is like a treat. I’ve been watching you for years GG!

@Chebe Chebito you got issues
checkout tireo on yt
you saying the cops 'defunded' themselves was so fucking funny! I love your comedic timing, especially with such dark subject matters
" we can still have opinions"😉🤣🤣
some corrections for you:
-The reason she has buddha statues is the same reason she knew the people at the Buddha temple so well its implied she went through a heavy religious phase to fight or spread the curse before having a mental breakdown and ending up in a psychiatric hospital
-The reason the little girl tries to take the camera is the same reason the uncle tells Ronan to fuck off when the ghost busters arrive. They dont want outsiders to also be a part of their horrible karmic retribution despite what it might seem in their worship and rituals to appease the mother buddha.
-The reveal well not really well done is supposed to imply that she knew this shit and probably had already seen what was in the tunnel video meaning she might have willfully killed her family (maybe accidentally in this case) and those 2 cops at the beginning in order to spare herself and more importantly she uses Dodo at the beginning of the movie in a similar way by getting her to give up her name. One of the reasons she gave her away was so she didn't fall in love with her making it easier to do something so vile.
-the reason she shows the mother buddha's face at the end is so people watching incur the "heaviest burden" ensuring Dodo's safety. as long as there are those with heavier burdens to be punished Dodo will hopefully be spared.
- this correction is purely speculation but I think part of the reason Ronan has been somewhat spared from death is because she is a very unreliable narrator she has been using opportunities to spread the curse and ease her burden like when she got Ming to chant while they were in the car. By offering the ear at the end and basically fucking up the shrine in hopes to spread as much curse as possible she had also effected her own survivability succumbed to the curse. not to mention that the writing on her body is basically saying that she is sacrificing herself to the deity in order to spread its power.
-and finally a lot of people would succumb to the call of the void and be curious enough to look at mother Buddha's face regardless of how they felt about he lying
she also had so many buddha statues because she was supposed to pray to them at least once a year to appease them
Huh, alright.
Thank you so much for this comment! It explains a lot of missing context that was most likely lost in translation through no fault of Mista GG
Oh and she wasnt supposed to say her childs name as it was mother buddhas now. So when she made the decision to have her child in her life again and say her name, she was actively going against the religon. And thats why she was scared for her to be in the buddha room because she knew Mother buddha would make the little girl sacrifice herself.
@@vcgvictory6162 I guess Dodo had to be sacrificed in the Buddha room, otherwise idk why she didn’t die when she did a Tears in Heaven
the weird part about this is that people are taking this movie as non-fictional, even though it states that it’s entirely a work of fiction. Am not sure if it relates to anything that would happen in the real world or not but it is harrowing to think that people think this is real
EDIT : spelling check
Looooollll. In Chinese TikTok, people have been commenting under videos of this movie saying that bad stuff happened to them within 24 hours after watching this movie. I think they’re just hallucinating
Netflix did put in the description “inspired by real events” but the dude wrote the movie loosely based on a cult so that’s the closest to real life this movie ever was
It's a synchronicity thing combined with psychodrama. People can cause bad things to happen to themselves by believing they will happen, and they'll immediately assume every bad thing happening is connected to some random but similar thing that happened in the past. It can work the other way too, and the combination of these things is probably the origin of religious belief. A bit problematic, but it's totally normal.
I mean i used to think a lot of found footage horror movies on netflix were genuine when they first started streaming movies on their website all those years ago. I was also in middle school so i didnt know much about anything lol
Tik tok takes any work of Fiction as Non fiction because they can not tell fiction from reality. It's a issue alot of the time with anyone that wants to do any type of Unfiction or ARG on tik tok people will constantly be screaming for someone to call 911 or say "That is horrible and not ok" ummm it's supposed to be horror and terror and supposed to be not ok, it's a scary spooky stuff. It's weird and I blame tumblr.
I doubt I'm the only person that's mention this, but Ming's death where he looks up and then bashes his head into the laptop is totally inspired by that old viral marketing clip "Girl goes psycho during makeup tutorial" in which she goes out the same way. It ended up being a promo for this video project called the 15 Experience. It's already been talked about here on youtube but I wouldn't mind MistaGG taking a look at it too!
“And they promptly defunded themselves” has me in stitches lmao!!!

same, I was chewing a chicken when he said that
same i had cinnamon toast crunch 💀
Exactly
Deadass, that was some trippy shit
Lmao right I was eating chicken quesadillas
So about the “im sorry i lied” part of the video, yes i think Ronan knew the whole time how the curse worked… but in a nut shell she was told she was crazy and superstitious when she got back.. that’s also why she may have given up the child along with it a curse. But then through therapy an possible meds they managed to convince her that this cant be real… after years of being miss lead she thought she could get her child back but what she did was being the child back in close to the curse.
I was thinking the same thing too! Cuz I was hella confusion lol
As someone who has really bad trypophobia, I can't thank you enough for the blurs and warnings.

I have huge trypophobia and when THAT scene came I was literally about to vomit. Had to close my eyes and cling to my bf, almost had a meltdown. Still love the movie though lol
This! Omglad people are finally taking it seriously
I paused this video at like six minutes to watch the movie and I wish I had that warning. I don’t think I have trypophobia since it doesn’t freak me out or scare me but it just makes me squeamishness and like just very uncomfortable like nails on chalk board and get all not itchy but idk but I don’t need to avoid them. It just isn’t pleasant. Like I wouldn’t look away at a warning but warnings are nice.

[he's more an anime boy anyway so luckily he doesn't encounter stuff like this a lot]
Dude the Trypophobia wa the scariest part of this movie. The budha's 'face' had me glitching
So about the statue room, it's actually pretty common to have shrines everywhere in most asian countries. My aunt had a shrine pretty much identical to the one in the movie (yes even the creepy red light, it's essential) my grandmother had a shrine in the living room and a small one outside and I personally have one in my living room too. In my area it's not uncommon for people in small apartments who dont have room for shrines just find a small unrented room and just devote that one to a shrine room, everyone pitches in to pay and everyone can use it. So maybe it's just difference in culture if you don't quite understand
What’s odd is the real estate agent says something along the lines of “that room upstairs is unsettling”
Very true about the shrine with the eerie red lights. I'm always the last one to leave the living room at night, and so always the one to close the lights, except those red lights, they're always left open at night. Not sure about other households though, if they do that or not.
Yep, every household! At least in my family. Every night when I get a glass of water it's like I'm in a horror movie
A lot of it depends on your understanding of the culture and its kinda sad that he doesnt even stop to think that.
Is this a religious thing or a cultural thing?
Knowing your creativity, it's an absolute waste of talent to require you take a sponsorship verbatim. Just give you bullet points. I would honest to god offer you a bonus if you managed to make a sponsorship of mine rhyme. Absolutely.

I have to genuinely thank you for blurring the holes on her body, Mista GG. I have both trypophobia and a fear of skin-related illnesses, provided they look realistic enough. I blame Cabin Fever for pushing that one over the edge for me, as a kid.
I would never ask that a content creator edit their video to keep me comfortable.

Literally the only content creator that makes me actually want to watch the sponsored segment! 🔥🔥
literally i don’t drink anymore but i was vibing
Yep Mista GG and Call me Kevin 😆
For real or GGs songs for his sponsors reminds me of when my friends and I would f around and make music I had to replay the add twice 😂😂
Truth!!!
He actually puts effort into the sponsored sections.
Rounan tells you to close your eyes after the optical illusions because its meant to be like an ARG. Since the illusion burned that image in your head, while the monk is explaining it, its some extra spooky factor since you can see the symbol with your eyes closed.
Also idk whats so confusing about the pregnant thing, or the ending lol
the idea of involving the viewers its pretty damn neat and refreshing! that would totally freak me out to watch, even knowing its all fake
The bit about switching jumpscare timestamps genuinely made me laugh out loud. I love the format where you retell stories I would never be able to watch on my own. You are an amazing creator, hope you have a good day!
i love horror and i am not good with jumpscares or tension, but what scared me more than any jumpscare it could've thrown at me was the visual of the statue's face, or lack thereof. the fact that you could see how the space extended far beyond its physical properties made for a much worse effect than just having a black empty void, or a hole that can physically be there. i was genuinely terrified upon seeing it, not the "ha ha this is a movie and i like to be scared" but a "this clawed at some deeply basal, instinctual fear so now i feel like i'm in real life danger" kinda way.
Tbh when I watched this movie and saw the mother Buddha statues face I was like “….ohhhh!!” and I’ll tell you why, this might just be a coincidence but idk hehe
So the people who see mother Buddhas face tend to off themselves in a very specific way, by repeatedly smashing their face against a hard object. This feels like a really really weirdly specific way to go about it, so I wonder if the hole in the statues face is alluding to this. The repetitive smashing kinda felt like the characters were replicating that really gross open wound looking gape by disfiguring themselves.
That makes sense! It does look more like a deep red wound than a hole to me
yeah as if trying to disfigure themselves in a way that looks akin to mother Buddha
Kind of reminds me of that one Korean horror movie, found footage I believe, when a group of young adults go into an insane asylum. And of course it has a horrible back story and it doesn't end very well for any of them.
You're thinking about gonjiam.
Love that movie
Absolute taste right there
Ah yes, gonjiam. I thought it would be a movie with a lot of jumpscare and no substance, but damn i was so wrong. In my country there's so many movie with that kind of plot and i guess almost all of them are shit lol. So I'm quite surprised of how good it was
Love this movie
it's my first time on this channel and this review was a blast! The Finding Nemo chant intro, the sick ad read, the "no crying over spilled milk joke" etc etc. I think I've just found a new TH-cam channel to binge!
Been watching him for years, love his jokes and ads, and the Finding Nemo chant got me good, been ages since I last heard that one hahaha.
Everyone already brought up the "defund themselves" joke, so here's a shout out to "Idk she had to leg-drop a car to get a knife" because that made me choke on my spit.
Bro same 😂 that sent me
I cracked up when he cried over spilled milk lolol
That was probably one of the most effective jumpscares I've seen in years. Lost all bodily control for a hot second there
“So I’m gonna need you to stop chewing your food so damn loud and listen to me” -👺
I’m so happy you reviewed Incantation. I’m Taiwanese-American and there are some cultural features in the movie that were frightening for me because of my background. Like the scene when Ro-nan returns to the couple after Do-do eats the pineapple: the little statues with the flags on them moving suddenly was the biggest jump scare for me. As a child, when we visited Taiwan, those little statues are representations of god-generals that would be in the temples.
My great-aunt loved telling us scary stories before bedtime and that lore and tales of Taiwanese boogeymen shows in Incantation.
Indeed. That indicated Ro-nan should deal with her own karma instead of sacrificing more people into this curse. They felt hopeless to her evil intention so they decided to turn their back not to see this tragedy.
Ain't gonna lie, I was gonna skip the sponsored segment but man.. I gotta say that your sponsor efforts are top notch 🤣 I just can't help but watch them lmao love the creativity. Your content, skits, and sponsor segments always make me laugh and smile haha 🙏
Agreed his sponsor segments are always enjoyable plus their definitely certified bangers 😌
i genuinely love this movie so much. it's slow in all the right places and the studio and audio team did a fantastic job at making sure the viewer never feels "safe" it's so tense nerve wracking that it is a difficult watch. the first time i watched it i was on a plane home from thanksgiving break and i remember being so genuinely horrified about it that i had to call my grandma (someone who hates horror) to calm down.
spoilers
The scene with the guy i can't remember if its Dom or Yuan pulls out his teeth triggered my odontophobia something wicked and each time i saw it i had to turn away from whatever i was watching it on so i didn't have to see it.
OH HELL NAH. I was wondering if you were going to ever review this movie😭😭movies rarely ever creep me out but this one left me really paranoid and creeped out. I would never watch this at night by myself. This movie really had me thinking “should i be watching this?!” A movie never made me feel like that before lmao
OMG I was like that after watching The possession of Michael King. When it first came out and blockbuster was still a thing, I was like oh this movie looks interesting and might be fun to watch. Anyways, I watched a few before it and left it for the last one and was a very bad idea 😂😭 scared the absolute bonkers out of me hahahaha.
Movie was more depressing than scary. Still really good though
@@larajayne4934 I've never heard of that one before? Would you say its worth watching?
@@spacecowboy225 to each their own. Fear is as subjective as comedy. But i agree it was sad as shit too.
Fr, my sister was the one who recommend this movie to me, and each time Ronan asked us to repeat something or look at stuff id skip or pause and when she said shit like "the more you know the more cursed you are" i would pause and think "maybe i should just stop watching now", even when we were shown the tunnel video i tried my best not to look and skip it and stuff, but i wind up watching it thinking "its okay this is not real, it's not that scary" boy was i wrong, i was so frustated they went into that tunnel in the first place and got pissed everyt time Yuan tried to touch something liek "you fool, y'all shoudl leave" as if id change anything and when Dom saw the face of the statue and froze my heart stopped and when he beat his face up against the wall i had a heart attack like i can't even-
When it was reaveled she tricked us and at that time i couldn't pause the video and watched intently for god knows why even though i was shitting my heart out, i was so scared i called my sister whos aboard to ask her wtf did she ask me to look that up for ?! And she reassured me saying it ain't real and all like okay
But what was the last straw for me when she showed us the face of the mother buddha and then proceeded to bang her head like it was so abrupt i was frozen the entire time and when came the time i had to got to sleep i couldn't and woke up every 5 to 10 minutes, i ended up watching cute cartoons until i was so exshausted and couldn't stay up.
This shit ain't real but it made me shit myself fr fr fr
I was raised religious and am very superstitious, so this movie was SO effective at creeping me out. I highly recommend watching it before watching this review, it's such a wild ride
I genuinely didn’t expect the twist of the incantation and symbol, they caught me so off-guard (literally as I was jokingly saying it) and had me kinda freaked out. I have a massively over active imagination so this is gonna haunt me hard for awhile lmao. Sleepless nights and incantations playing on loop in my head here I come
"So stop chewing your food so damn loud and listen to me"
Me: *chewing my breakfast, slowly stopping chewing my food after such a command*
Been watching GG for years. One of the few to bring great content and stay out of controversy. Much love.
lmao he did the Finding Nemo chant, man that took me back,
hard to believe it's been about 2 decades.
The only thing I liked about the movie is how it involves the viewers into the curse, which is a neat concept. The major thing that took me out of the movie is the constant cut to multiple camera angles even though the character on screen only has one camera. Made it feel like one of those prank videos.
Keep in mind that there's a camera in the bunny. There were a few times I questioned what camera we were viewing from only to realize it was the bunny.
She had multiple cameras for a reason. She says it's a journey for when Dodo grows up, but it's really to give as much knowledge of the curse as possible and to feel the audience to feel bad for her. Because as she said before, the more you know about it, the worse the curse will be. It's to alleviate her own curse
Time to to take a break from rewatching GG videos to cure my boredom and watch a new one. Perfect timing!
If you enjoyed this movie, I highly recommend "Noroi: The Curse." It's a very similar feel, and it's honestly the most disturbing and terrifying movie I have ever seen.
Ka...Gu...Ta..Ba..
Ahhhh both of these films actually got me sleepless😭
if i watched this with no previous knowledge of the movie i would definitely be terrified bc i hate the way the curse can be spread without saying it, that thinking about the phrase is enough to spread the curse. it's a pretty effective scare for me. luckily i got plenty of spoilers so i can enjoy the movie for the scares only lol.
i remember reading a horror manga as a kid and in one story, they said that a particular ghost will come for you if you still remember it until you're 20... sure enough, i keep thinking about it every 2 years or so. i'm now 23, healthy and ghostless. but that kind of curse scares me the most.
Dear Mista GG, I respect your opinion when it came to the suggestion of watching the subtitled version of the movie, but due to my more recent immunity to the horror genre, I challenged myself to this esteemed experience while stoned on an edible of only the most high caliber of legal thc, which hindered my ability to keep up with such a feat of comprehension, thus requiring the assistance of the dubbed version to enjoy the film.
PS, I thought it was cold af when you rhymed "redacted" with "I almost yakd it"
So is GG's suggestion to watch the mandairian w subs or english w subs?
@@tomolvera3383mandarin with subs. English dub is TRASH
I love horror movies, as does my husband, and it’s been awhile since we both got legitimately creeped out by a movie. I’ve gotta agree with you, there’s a lot of plot holes and unexplained things in the movie. However, I think that kind of fits the whole “found footage” sort of genre. I think Ronan knew much more than she let on, as evident by the fact that she knew the statue placements, but also by the hints dropped by her doctor that Ronan was obsessing over this for a long time. I mean, Dodo is 6 years old, and Ronan had been searching for answers well into her pregnancy, as evident from the monk clip. Who knows exactly when Ronan actually checked herself into a psychiatric hospital.
Like other people have mentioned, I think Ronan was planning on sacrificing Dodo to save herself, but ultimately completed the ritual she stopped years ago with the “chosen girl” to save her child she had grown to love. I also think that the reason the “chosen” girl was found in a ditch implies that Mother Buddha didn’t want her anymore. Maybe because she had tried to save Ronan? Idk. Just spitballing here.
Well I didn’t expect this movie to make it’s way into the English speaking world lol.
Actually after watching this horror movie for the first time I was left more *sad* than *scared* .
If sharing a piece of the curse with a lot of people can spare the little girl from her doom then I am willing to, it’s actually just like a “Gofundme” situation, but instead of giving money to the troubled ones, you share a piece of curse, you ease the burden from the troubled ones by taking a small piece of that burden, and just like how it’s explained in the movie, the more people share this curse the less powerful it is, and thus less burden was put on a single person.
A lot of people in my country gave this movie a 1 star review simply because the movie tried to “curse” them in the end and they got angry lmao, people are stupid.
Though this kind of “cursed tape” skit is not at all unique in supernatural horror movies nowadays, I still appreciate it that they tried to use this to break the 4th wall and connect with the audiences.
The poltergeists in the city storyline and those hauntings in their apartment is kind of cliché for a supernatural horror movie. However, my favorite part in this movie is actually the village and that tunnel in the flashbacks, the village was so creepy and deranged, with half of the movie building up for the villagers’ sinister and mysterious secret, followed by the scene in the night of pure horror and pure chaos. I think that’s awesome.
That part also kind of reminds me of Outlast 2 lol
Actually one of the coolest TH-camrs ever. Going “watch it pussy” for a jumpscare. Top tier humor, I’m gonna ring the bell for you my friend
this film is absolutely terrifying and I haven't been scared of a film for decades
Switching up the time stamps for the jump scare and calling us out for skipping the jump scare, had me laughing out loud
Holy shit, that tone shift with Dodo starving came out of no where. Even just watching this I still felt the emotion!
GG, on the off chance you see this. A movie I would love to see you take apart is Followers. A British hand cam horror about a disgraced vlog youtuber investigating a ghost in their university flat to get famous again. It is...so so bad.
Dude. You just talking about Dodo saying "pineapple, bunny..." as she passed out almost got me choked up
When I first saw the movie myself, the reveal at the end gave me the weirdest feeling as if I was being pulled down into the statue. It's probably my anxiety, because I don't think I have trypophobia. It felt like in Get Out when he is sinking into the dark place.
What trypophobia has to do with anything? It’s just a single hole
@@thisishowitallends9321 its a single hole filled with many holes around the edges
@@sugarpea4484 it’s a single hole with the crystal cluster inside it lol
9:18 I laughed wayyyy too hard at them throwing up gang signs 😂😂😂😂
The way he set up the joke was so good as well, I didn't see it coming.😂
Legit and sincere thanks for blurring the trypophobia stuff. That's like my only ick and very few people think to include it in even the most massive trigger warnings and whatnot.
I didn't realize how much of superstition i retained from my parents until you warned of the face reveal and i closed my eyes lmao. The revealing of it being all for the movie also eased me without me realizing i was getting stressed subconsciously lol crazy
( as in i didn't realize i was getting stressed until i felt the relief)
The thing is so effective that i took my headphones off and put my hand over the screen when they were chanting and showed the sign, and I am from south America
Hey, my dude. Mind putting the captions on this video? Deaf guy. I'm glad you're back to doing movie reviews. It's what first sucked me into the Mista GG universe.
bro you said: 'i need you to stop chewing your food so loud.' i was actively chewing very loud on my quarter pounder and it felt personal. love you bro
I also picked up on that shadow on screen illusion when I watched it! I was so excited you mentioned it! they force you to stare right at the center with the text appearing there, and then you get the cool shadow. I loved it.
I didn’t think this movie was particularly scary, mostly incredibly sad, on par with Hereditary sadness. I wanted so bad for DoDo and Ronen to be happy.
Dude, I really appreciate the effort with the ads. They are actually fun to watch. They are lucky to work with a creator like you.
Absolutely love this movie. I have been a horror fanatic for over 45 years. I do believe the reason they showed her pregnant is so that you knew how the curse had been passed to dodo. She was there at the site and willingly participated in this curse. At the end she offered herself up as a sacrifice hoping this would save her daughter. This is just my interpretation of the movie I've got a lot of other great analogies in your comments as well.
this movie sucks☠️
The reason she was not dying was she was passing it off on other people through out the film in order to pass the miss fortune on others
6:12 - Okay, but imagine a horror movie actually starting like that.
Just all that energy and enthusiasm of a modern day TH-camr.
This movie literally freaked me out I loved it
Same! It was great haha finally something great and scary made by netflix^^
I knew it, as soon as I heard her ask us to chant along to help her daughter i knew it was some "Ring" type bs to spread the curse on me instead
This is my first time watching you, you have put my faith back in film reviews and making light of a confusing, but interesting horror movie. Thank you
This movie was extremely hit or miss for me. I was laughing my ass off at every part to do with the kid and her ghost friend. But the village creeped me the fuck out
The effort put into the ads is above and beyond any other TH-camr. I’m here for that.
This movie sounds like such a cool concept. I like the idea of getting the audience in the curse and also saying the incantation is a blessing when its not.
On the babies in horror films I feel it's because they sometimes add babies to the film to force you to like the characters and forget that they actually have to put in work for you to care about a character/characters.
I recommend you watch, "The Call" (2020) it's a Korean film and it's an excellent horror film!!!
IT'S SO GOOD I LOVED THAT MOVIE OMG he HAS to see it! Nobody ever talks about it!
I dont know if anyones ever told you this but your sponser songs are literally the best things ever and i hope you never stop doing them. Its part of what makes you unique. And i would absolutely add all of them to my playlist rotation if they were released as tracks.
Thank you so much for the triphobia warnings. I would have been freaked for weeks had I not known. Also glad I didn’t make it past the first 5 minutes of this film before I got bored. Truly, thanks 🙏🏾
People like you who get bored after 5 min because no boom and bang jumpscares are a plague to the movie industry
4:48 I was crunching really hard on an apple and I've never been so attacked by a fourth wall break like this. I'll never be the same, with the shame I felt
Bro this intro was spot on. The incantation chant vs the finding Nemo chant absolutely love it my dude 🖤
I've seen ads for Bright Cellars easily over a dozen times by now, so I'm super excited to finally pull the trigger on a trial box now that it's a channel I have zero misgivings about. A Mista GG video is always an instant click BANGER way to spend however long the runtime is.
