This movie sounds like it would be even funnier if the 3 killers didn't actually do anything and they just really wanted their buddy's phone back and the true killer ends up being the protaganist because she just starts murdering these people based on a misunderstanding of a video on the phone
Tbh, he could just say she went crazy and attacked him and he couldn't call for help because she had his phone. Smash everyone else's phone including your own. Find a way to get the phone back from her, kill her, delete the video then put on your best acting skills and call for help saying, "this girl, she went crazy and killed my friends. My friend had an emergency so I shut my house party down, but she stayed and hid till everyone else was gone and got the jump on us. She.....she wanted me to tell my dad to write her a recommendation and......when I said no she killed [whoever that girl is]. (Make sure you kill the best friend too there is no guarantee she won't talk) Her friend knew this had gone too far after that and tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen and she killed her. (If the best friend isn't dead, you're going to have to bargain with her and convince her to stay silent). Anyway there's more to this, but the point is he definitely could finesse the situation. Remember the people alive are the ones that tell the story. Dead people talk, but you can make them say whatever you want them to.
Just an initial thought, they could've solved the phone issue easily. She could have left the party, taken it home, felt safe making a good decision, then the goon platoon could've use Find My Phone and showed up at her house knowing the phone was there. It would have given the main character intelligence, and added suspense that we thought she was safe, but suddenly she's not. Lazy writing.
Well her friend was still passed out drunk and the guys were dangerous, she couldnt really leave her behind. Im not defending the movie entirely but that part kinda made sense. The best thing she couldve done was indeed yell out the window for help which wouldve worked, especially if these kids were picked up by their sober parents
Couldn't they just have shortened the video that had been filmed by a whole lot? Or not even give her a chance to properly watch it beforehand? Like, have her be creeped out and disgusted by the pictures he had taken for a couple of seconds. Ignore it for a bit since her friend made a sound and she needed to go find her something to puke into or whatever and then have her scroll and see a small clip of the video before the movie, well, move on. Have the suspense be her uncertainty of what that video could mean before those guys start going bananas making her realize this video might have proof of what happened to the missing girl. That would make her seem decently smart as she puts two and two together realizing that the video probably shows something they REALLY do not what out, make her proactive in helping her friend and show a kind and helpful side (She need that as all we had seen of her so far was her literally trying to use a rich kid to get into a college...making her clearly annoying and selfish, so giving her a few scenes that showed a caring side like helping her friend would REALLY help make up for it.) AND give the goons time to figure out that the phone is missing and react to it without it being forced.
You know there's going to be a lot of dumb character decisions in horror movies, but it's when you can no longer suspend your disbelief that you know you have a comedy winner on your hands. The *entire* movie hinges on the stupid phone, which could've been tucked away anywhere, and the main girl could've gone straight to the police.
Or she could have at VERY LEAST skipped through the video and recorded the important parts on her own phone. Case like… why doesn’t she and/or her friend have their own phones.
That girl had such little common sense, reasoning, and downright lack of intelligence, that I'm legitimately surprised she didn't just try to fly away off the roof with those Party City angel wings to safety... 😒 🤦
That is usually a thing with characters in horror movies. Even without a guide book "what to do if you're in a horror movie", common sense should help a lot. Like don't split up in that ruined old villa, don't yell up the stairs "is someone there" if you know you're alone. If you've met the villain halfway through the story, and 5 hits don't keep the monster down, assume that hasn't changed and be extra sure in disposal.
No wonder she was trying to get a recommendation from a rich politician just to get into college since once from her teacher wouldn’t get her anywhere.
Fun fact, most regions have building codes that require bathroom electrical outlets be GFCI protected.

Of course, don't try this at home, but most likely scenario of this scene 24:41 would have resulted in the hairdryer turning off and basically nothing happening.
True. We updated the electrical in my house and the electrician made sure the bathroom and kitchen has the right kind of plug. So this plot point in a nice/newer house is kinda ridiculous

@@unclewiley1986the phone would still die as it did in the movie so it wouldn’t send, and who in this generation have plans to leave there house for more than 30 mins and leave their charger?
One of my favorite things about your videos is that you explain the plot of the movies you watch so well. Sometimes commentary channels will solely focus on what they found funny which can be great; but then I lose track of what’s happening and can’t really follow the plot of the film they are goofing on. But you are always so clear and concise while also making the video entertaining. Great video Elvis!
Why didn't she just take the phone, get out then hand it over to the Police? Even if they DIDN'T kill her in the end of the video they were still the last people seen with her so it's still something the police should've seen. But then it wouldn't have been a "horror/thriller" movie I guess...
Rather than her running back into the bathroom, a sprint to the police department with him trying to murder her would have been so entertaining. Hell, even a car chase through the neighborhood with her on foot jumping over walls, trying to hide in bushes, and going into yards would have been hilarious!
Electricity fun fact: There's no way that a house like that doesn't have ground fault current interrupters (GFCI) of some kind, at the very least in the bathrooms (it turns out you can see one on the plug in a shot or two). That means that her threatening him with a hair dryer in the bathtub is ultimately an empty threat
And the fact that she was just threatening him, it's not like she actually did it, means it would have been a really funny moment if she had thrown the hairdryer in and nothing happened. I mean she didn't kill him with it anyway so it's not like it would effect the plot
If we *reeally* wanna give credit to the movie, it's possible that the family paid to have the house built and ignored some building codes. I've seen it pretty often actually. The outlets in my apartment actually don't have a GFCI and I've been planning on getting an inspector in to have my landlord get fucked
So much dumb shit happened that by the time 23:20 came up and he said "college of her dreams" I had entirely forgotten about that being a motivation at the start. On top of that... the fact that they think they are going to have blood all over the yard, blood in the bathroom, 2 missing highschool girls, another missing girl from a week prior, a broken door, signs of struggle everywhere, no allaby, about 1000 witnesses that can put them at the scene of crime, etc. They think that without the phone their son will be fine. That is the most hilarious part to me.

This is the epitome of writers who dont review their material before publishing to make sure things line up 😂😂😂 I proof read my stuff almost too much but it prevents massive plotholes and stupidity
@@KekoKasaney’know, my first reaction was “of course not, this would’ve been in production before the strike”. And then I remembered how awful the movie is. And now I agree.
You know that this sort of writer is the one you can find on TH-cam trying to teach people how to be a "successful writer" right? 😂 "oh I'm a professional, working in the industry, pls pay me for my courses"...
This HAS to be satire, right?! No one would write these characters so trope-ily stupid and predictable and expect this to be taken seriously, right? ... Right?
24:45 do you ever wonder about all of those electrocution scenes... Where the heck are fuses? It's like connected directly to the grid and it will work until the body is charcoal or cable melts down.
t would be the GFCI that pops rather than the fuse but yeah your agrument stands killing someone by throwing a hair dryer into water is basically impossible with modern wiring
I'm personally having an issue with the categorisation of movies of late, I am all in for the good, bad and downright ugly of horror movies, I'm ok with a laugh even if its at how crap the thing is, I'm a product of the late 70's and entire 80's horror genre, , , but when ya looking for a movie for the grand kids the children section and there's John Wayne Gacey just because he's got clown make up on, no my sweet, horror should only be tagged with horror no matter how funny it is....
Okay so I know that when you’re in a fight or flight, you don’t always make good decisions. It always feels easier to hide when in an unfamiliar environment, because it’s more common to be overlooked than to survive being cornered. HOWEVER, This isn’t dumb in the realm of possibility. A movie that does this type of concept but better in my opinion is “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies”. They’re all stupid still, but within the realm of “we’re stupid 20 something year olds”. These guys remind me of writers that come up with the ending first and goes “how the hell do we get here”, and can’t find a plausible reason. Then instead of changing the ending, they force bad choices to get there. Although one or two bad decisions are okay, it gets to the point where the entire thing feels like “I’m not changing the finale, these people are doing what I want for that to exist, instead of making the characters believable or interesting”.
thinking about it this way, it's like they wanted a similar ending to Get Out but couldn't figure out a good plot line to justify the protagonist going on a killing spree 😂
Another movie that does this concept way better is Green Room (2015). The characters (both the good guys and bad guys) make stupid decisions because they are in a high-stress situation, but at least the individual decisions track with the situation, rather than come out of nowhere.
Oh god... it's the exact reason so many plots are so bad, people don't communicate or take obvious actions. They deliberately do the stupidest things or the only thing that would make the situation possible precisely because the writer can't think of any other way for it to happen, and that's because they're terribly uncreative.
When a movie's entire premise requires the protagonist (and other characters) to NOT make a single smart decision, it makes for a pretty terrible movie... We've learned that from Prometheus...
I would choose 4. Call the police with the phone Im holding and give them the evidence to a missing/murdered girl. Also, I think the movie is a play off of a real-life HS kids who recorded their victim before they killed her.
What would have been a better excuse to take forever to give the phone back would be if she was trying to upload the huge ass video onto youtube or something rather than watching it since you could easily skip through the video or speed it up rather than sit there for 5 hours watching it lol
there's an issue that Rotten Tomatoes has where sometimes it'll look like a movie is highly rated, when it really just doesn't have a lot of rotten reviews. They're either "fresh" or "rotten" and nothing in between. The 'positive' reviews on this by critics, on RT, are like "it's predictable but good performances" or like "well this thing was bad but this thing was good" and no praise seems particularly strong. For whatever reason, they like something about it and are willing to write a middling review, write off some of the bad stuff, but the 86% fresh rating is deceptive.
Totally agree. RT scores are less than worthless. Hypothetically, if every review for a movie was 6/10 it would score 100%. It's a really bad way of presenting data.
People just don’t understand RT. 86 percent doesn’t mean the movie is “86 percent good,” it means that 86 percent of the reviews are better than a 2.5 rating out of 5.
Gooch is his god given Christian name. Gooch Goochy Goocherson the 3rd. He can trace his family back to the 1400's in England where his distant relative worked for the king by flashing his taint, or gooch, on command. Henry VI just really loved glaring at gooch and taking in the taint, hence the family sir name was born. the long line of gooches lead to this fine specimen. The coat of arms for the family is fantastic. it is just a large flesh colored shield, sparsely covered in hair, with a pair of testicles at the bottom.
WHOA! No way! I’ve actually met the guy who plays Barrett. He was in two of my classmates’ college thesis films. It’s so bizarre to see he’s made it into an Elvis video
We'll to be "fair".... I'd totally believe real Onision just wouldn't want any video of him to be deleted. His ego wouldn't allow it. And I'd definitely believe he'd be the type to film himself harassing and murdering someone, and then want to keep it just to rewatch himself over and over. Buuuut, if it were real Onions he also wouldn't admit to doing something wrong. The whole movie would be him cry screaming that he had to harass and murder her and it was all her fault. And everyone should thank him for it. Probably something about how she's not a vegetarian. 😂
One of my biggest turnoffs for a movie is a really simple, and generic concept that's fluffed out into a full length film. Like bow much better would this movie have been if she gets to like a halloween party, and they're reenacting scenes from iconic horror films, and killing people at the party. You could do this neat thing of trying to figure out who's actually being killed, while also trying to figure out who in the audience is knowingly killing people and who's just oblivious and going along for the ride.
this movie was like if a nine year old made a horror movie They had a party and then this guy being reallly creepy and then he leave his phone is room, and then the girl sees a creepy video but the phone died, and then the dude and his frends go crazy! and then his parents were actually crazy too!
I think i wouldve just found the video, sent it to myself, leave the phone, leave the party, and go to the popo Or like send it directly to them because you can do that If the video is too long to send then id just clip a portion of it showing them harassing this girl, or skip through until i see something horrible and clip that. Problem solved
As a former highschooler who went to high school parties. Yeahhh that was 100% not accurate…we had a party at house in literally In the middle of nowhere. Cops showed up. Everyone was taking forever to get out of the house. My ex left her shitty jacket there. It was about 1am. So outside stranded in a field….I had to do the most saddest thing ever…. call my mom to pick us up💀 I had at least 4 people with me plus my ex. There’s wayyyy more to this story💀 got a lil worse.
I can't believe I just witnessed someone make a Bert McCracken reference in 2023. Also, I'm kinda shocked you thought he looked more like Bert and not Kevin Bacon, which was my immediate association.
The actress that played the killer's mom is Anne Heche, who was very popular in the late 90s. She also dated Ellen DeGeneres and they were known as Hollywood's first gay power couple. Her death in 2022 was completely bonkers, she was high on cocaine and fentanyl and crashed her car twice before driving 30 ft into a house. She became trapped in her car, which caught on fire.
I haven't seen Fall, but I've heard it's actually alright. With decent tension at times, relatable and likable characters, and decent problem solving skills once things start to go downhill.
No wonder she needs mr senator to get into that school; she sure wouldn't make it on her own with a brain like that 😂Could probably make it as a Hollywood writer tho
This feels like this is the Illumination's _Super Mario Bros. Movie_ situation all over again, where the movie got praised by the audience, but the critics loathed it for invalid reasons. The current state of online critics is killing me. *Edit:* The people in the replies who agree with the critics really proved my point even further.
The Closer Look made a great point about critic and audience perceptions; audiences who rate a movie are almost always those who seek the movies out, but critics are often forced to watch these movies which they have no interest in. So on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is the target demographic, and the critics’ consensus is a miscellany of people who may or may not have wanted to watch it
Honestly, if I found a video like that on someone's phone. The first thing I'd do is send it to my phone so that way, I can give the phone back without letting the people know that I know. Then I'd leave the party (taking my drunk friend with me) and immediately go to the police and show them the video.
I feel half of the bad desisions the characters make in this movie where made because the film crew didn't had access to another locations. Why didn't Eden ran away when Onision kicked everybody out of his house? Why didn't Onision took Kendra to the hospital ans tried to get the phone back the next day? Because the filmakers didn't have the permits to shoot a chase scene throught the woods, or in the highway, or Eden's neighborhood, or anywhere else besides the mansion and its lawn... that's my theory
Maybe true, but I think the script comes first and it was just written like this so they didn't even try to get access to more locations bc the script was focused on one location anyway. They wanted so badly to have this "everything goes crazy in one location" horror trope. Probably they asked the writer/s to write the story in this way, bc it would be cheaper to execute. A lazy production from start to finish.
She had video evidence that the three creeps committed a murder she had one of the killers' phone......and she didn't upload it to TH-cam? That video would've gone Viral in a heartbeat and they would've been screwed.
I could give a few arguments about why some characters made such dumb decisions, though the movie does seem to kinda debunk one of them. 1. Zarza isnt stumbiling drunk because the shock of the situation scared her out of her stupor. She didnt notice the barricaded door because she was too focused on throwing up. She thought Gooch locked himself out so him going through extremes for the window didnt make her think anything. 2. Protagonist ran for the ladder because she felt more safe being by her friend / strength in numbers. Though i do agree with Elvis 99.9% of people would see trying to climb the ladder as a big hazard in such a situation.
I would argue that taking the gamble on being on the roof before the guy gets to the ladder seems better than trying to simply outrun him on flat ground. Also the higher she is on the ladder the harder it would be for him to tip it over. Seems like a decision that definitely more than 0.01% of people could make. Aside from just running onto the street and screaming on top of your lungs, which probably would be a better gamble.
I didn't watch the movie but when you started to describe what she does when she finds the phone filled me with such raw rage that i had to sit down, look at the wall and breathe for a moment.
This is probably the dumbest excuse to get rid of phones in a horror movie I've ever seen. EDIT: Yes, it might be reasonable that the kid of the congressman demands it. But why would you ever comply? (Especially if it's Onision...)
I thought it was pretty convincing. If one's dad was a public figure such as a politician, one wouldn't want people possibly recording some inappropriate stuff at his home and with his kid possibly appearing too, it could hurt his image, especially since it's a party with alcohol involved.
How so? I thought it was a surprisingly good reason. Its a party at a huge politicians house by his son, of course you don't want that shit going public
@@asterionarts7490 well, yes....? He acts like a normal guy up until the moment Cooch loses his phone and I would have no reason to suspect him of doing anything shady. To me he would be just a rich kid throwing a party at his parent's house, what is so weird about that?
The longest you can record for TikTok is ten minutes. As for what I'd do - I'd leave the party but in the meantime I'd start uploading the video to platforms like TH-cam so even if he gets his phone back and deletes it it's still uploaded somewhere for the cops to see.
Why are we still getting writers who refuse to make realistic and believable characters and motivations. It's the first thing you learn in a writing class that characters who make unrealistic and bad choices are immediately unlikable unless they want everyone to hate the characters. It might be called your killing me because I keep telling myself that after every decision is made.
The “stuck in the room” section was fuckin KILLING me (did not use this phrase ironically, I was legitimately dying). WHAT WAS SHE DOING?! I almost skipped forward cos I was so frustrated with this character’s decisions. Edit: I skipped forward cos I couldn’t stand it. Omg. This was terrible.
One of my more popular friends’s last name is actually gooch and it’s actually grown so much on everyone around him that we all call him that and don’t even register the jokes anymore
My phone cameras all seem to have a "pause" button when I start recording a video, I can pause the recording and then restart it again and it creates an automatic time cut in what is still one full video file. I do this for my cooking videos a lot so I don't have one big long video or a bunch of little videos to edit later. I'll get some footage, pause recording to stir or prep some other ingredients, place everything and unpause the recording to record the next part, etc.
True, if someone is interested in a movie that a TH-camr clowns on, they don’t have to be dissuaded into watching it. Also, far too many people consider tubers like Elvis to be a critic, when he’s clearly just watching movies, and having fun making videos, nitpicking and picking them apart (which I find more entertaining than a movie reviewer)… but if your broke, watching these videos are way better than spending money on a movie like this one that I personally concider doggy doodoo

Sometimes commentary channels will solely focus on what they found funny which can be great; but then I lose track of what’s happening and can’t really follow the plot of the film they are goofing on. But you are always so clear and concise while also making the video entertaining. Great video Elvis!
Why didn't she just take the phone, get out then hand it over to the Police? Even if they DIDN'T kill her in the end of the video they were still the last people seen with her so it's still something the police should've seen. But then it wouldn't have been a "horror/thriller" movie I guess...
Rather than her running back into the bathroom, a sprint to the police department with him trying to murder her would have been so entertaining. Hell, even a car chase through the neighborhood with her on foot jumping over walls, trying to hide in bushes, and going into yards would have been hilarious!
It would have made too much sense. That wasn’t what they were going for..
Electricity fun fact: There's no way that a house like that doesn't have ground fault current interrupters (GFCI) of some kind, at the very least in the bathrooms (it turns out you can see one on the plug in a shot or two). That means that her threatening him with a hair dryer in the bathtub is ultimately an empty threat
Ah? I had no clue about this so it would have worked on me!
And the fact that she was just threatening him, it's not like she actually did it, means it would have been a really funny moment if she had thrown the hairdryer in and nothing happened.
I mean she didn't kill him with it anyway so it's not like it would effect the plot
If we *reeally* wanna give credit to the movie, it's possible that the family paid to have the house built and ignored some building codes. I've seen it pretty often actually. The outlets in my apartment actually don't have a GFCI and I've been planning on getting an inspector in to have my landlord get fucked
So much dumb shit happened that by the time 23:20 came up and he said "college of her dreams" I had entirely forgotten about that being a motivation at the start.
On top of that... the fact that they think they are going to have blood all over the yard, blood in the bathroom, 2 missing highschool girls, another missing girl from a week prior, a broken door, signs of struggle everywhere, no allaby, about 1000 witnesses that can put them at the scene of crime, etc. They think that without the phone their son will be fine.
That is the most hilarious part to me.

Tbh, he could just say she went crazy and attacked him and he couldn't call for help because she had his phone. Smash everyone else's phone including your own. Find a way to get the phone back from her, kill her, delete the video then put on your best acting skills and call for help saying, "this girl, she went crazy and killed my friends. My friend had an emergency so I shut my house party down, but she stayed and hid till everyone else was gone and got the jump on us. She.....she wanted me to tell my dad to write her a recommendation and......when I said no she killed [whoever that girl is]. (Make sure you kill the best friend too there is no guarantee she won't talk) Her friend knew this had gone too far after that and tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen and she killed her. (If the best friend isn't dead, you're going to have to bargain with her and convince her to stay silent). "
Well his father is a powerful man. The laws don't apply to rich people
That's so incredibly untrue.
If anything it applies more because districts love to make big political arrests.
It's not money that keeps you safe from the law, it's connections.

Its hilarious to me how the most unbelievable part is everybody leaving the party in 5 minutes
This is the epitome of writers who dont review their material before publishing to make sure things line up 😂😂😂 I proof read my stuff almost too much but it prevents massive plotholes and stupidity
That goes beyond reviewing... this whole script feels like a haphazardly put together first draft.
makes me wonder if this is a product of the writers strike lol...@@purrgundy
@@KekoKasaney’know, my first reaction was “of course not, this would’ve been in production before the strike”. And then I remembered how awful the movie is. And now I agree.
You know that this sort of writer is the one you can find on TH-cam trying to teach people how to be a "successful writer" right? 😂 "oh I'm a professional, working in the industry, pls pay me for my courses"...
They should really not give things a score on Rotten Tomatoes if it only has seven reviews.
This HAS to be satire, right?! No one would write these characters so trope-ily stupid and predictable and expect this to be taken seriously, right?
... Right?
24:45 do you ever wonder about all of those electrocution scenes... Where the heck are fuses? It's like connected directly to the grid and it will work until the body is charcoal or cable melts down.
lets not mention that the hair dryer has a fuse block built in it that will pop if you look at it wrong.
t would be the GFCI that pops rather than the fuse but yeah your agrument stands
killing someone by throwing a hair dryer into water is basically impossible with modern wiring
Wild. I unironically knew a guy in highschool who was called Gooch by everyone, parent's included.
Elvis really sat there and called this dude onision for the whole video 😂
This movie should be put under the comedy category.
No comments let me fix that
horror comedy is always hard to do. Either they suck at horror, they suck at comedy, or both. But a bad horror movie can be absolute comedy gold.
@@HappyBeezerStudios so true
I'm personally having an issue with the categorisation of movies of late,
I am all in for the good, bad and downright ugly of horror movies, I'm ok with a laugh even if its at how crap the thing is, I'm a product of the late 70's and entire 80's horror genre, ,
, but when ya looking for a movie for the grand kids the children section and there's John Wayne Gacey just because he's got clown make up on,
no my sweet, horror should only be tagged with horror no matter how funny it is....
It actually says horror / comedy on amazon
Okay so I know that when you’re in a fight or flight, you don’t always make good decisions. It always feels easier to hide when in an unfamiliar environment, because it’s more common to be overlooked than to survive being cornered.
HOWEVER, This isn’t dumb in the realm of possibility. A movie that does this type of concept but better in my opinion is “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies”. They’re all stupid still, but within the realm of “we’re stupid 20 something year olds”. These guys remind me of writers that come up with the ending first and goes “how the hell do we get here”, and can’t find a plausible reason. Then instead of changing the ending, they force bad choices to get there. Although one or two bad decisions are okay, it gets to the point where the entire thing feels like “I’m not changing the finale, these people are doing what I want for that to exist, instead of making the characters believable or interesting”.
thinking about it this way, it's like they wanted a similar ending to Get Out but couldn't figure out a good plot line to justify the protagonist going on a killing spree 😂
Another movie that does this concept way better is Green Room (2015). The characters (both the good guys and bad guys) make stupid decisions because they are in a high-stress situation, but at least the individual decisions track with the situation, rather than come out of nowhere.
I bet the writer just really wanted that "You're killing me" death scene and the entire movie was made to get that.
This is what they teach writers, to think about the ending first. But I guess they forget that the whole journey has to be believable.
Oh god... it's the exact reason so many plots are so bad, people don't communicate or take obvious actions. They deliberately do the stupidest things or the only thing that would make the situation possible precisely because the writer can't think of any other way for it to happen, and that's because they're terribly uncreative.
This is what happens when nowadays literally everyone can be a creator with just a bit of money and no bits of skills
When a movie's entire premise requires the protagonist (and other characters) to NOT make a single smart decision, it makes for a pretty terrible movie... We've learned that from Prometheus...
I would choose 4. Call the police with the phone Im holding and give them the evidence to a missing/murdered girl. Also, I think the movie is a play off of a real-life HS kids who recorded their victim before they killed her.
What would have been a better excuse to take forever to give the phone back would be if she was trying to upload the huge ass video onto youtube or something rather than watching it since you could easily skip through the video or speed it up rather than sit there for 5 hours watching it lol
@@TheGoldenDunsparce TH-cam would just delete her channel for breach of TOS.
@@Hoganply Oh yeah that's true lol
Movie is so good that I literally want somebody to kill me after watching it. Or at least blind me.
Like in the Ring, but instead of being killed by a ghost girl, you *want* to be killed.
Blinding doesn't help. You have already seen it, it will stay in your head.
there's an issue that Rotten Tomatoes has where sometimes it'll look like a movie is highly rated, when it really just doesn't have a lot of rotten reviews. They're either "fresh" or "rotten" and nothing in between. The 'positive' reviews on this by critics, on RT, are like "it's predictable but good performances" or like "well this thing was bad but this thing was good" and no praise seems particularly strong. For whatever reason, they like something about it and are willing to write a middling review, write off some of the bad stuff, but the 86% fresh rating is deceptive.
Totally agree. RT scores are less than worthless. Hypothetically, if every review for a movie was 6/10 it would score 100%. It's a really bad way of presenting data.
"it's bad but I'm enjoying it"
just saw the page for this movie and there's a 2,5/5 review that's classified as fresh...
"Rotten Tomatoes under fire after PR firm's scheme to pay critics for positive reviews uncovered" article from 11-7-2023
People just don’t understand RT. 86 percent doesn’t mean the movie is “86 percent good,” it means that 86 percent of the reviews are better than a 2.5 rating out of 5.
a horror film like this is just disrespectful to anyone watching. like how dumb do they think we are? they cant be serious
I gotta admit the whole "School's gonna be real weird on Monday." thing is hilarious.
I thought you were going to say “Put him in a courtroom and he’d show up in a bulletproof vest” like Greg actually did when he was suing people
Everyone in this movie shares a single brain cell and it's constantly coming in fourth
Gooch is his god given Christian name. Gooch Goochy Goocherson the 3rd. He can trace his family back to the 1400's in England where his distant relative worked for the king by flashing his taint, or gooch, on command. Henry VI just really loved glaring at gooch and taking in the taint, hence the family sir name was born. the long line of gooches lead to this fine specimen. The coat of arms for the family is fantastic. it is just a large flesh colored shield, sparsely covered in hair, with a pair of testicles at the bottom.
WHOA! No way! I’ve actually met the guy who plays Barrett. He was in two of my classmates’ college thesis films. It’s so bizarre to see he’s made it into an Elvis video
We'll to be "fair".... I'd totally believe real Onision just wouldn't want any video of him to be deleted. His ego wouldn't allow it. And I'd definitely believe he'd be the type to film himself harassing and murdering someone, and then want to keep it just to rewatch himself over and over. Buuuut, if it were real Onions he also wouldn't admit to doing something wrong. The whole movie would be him cry screaming that he had to harass and murder her and it was all her fault. And everyone should thank him for it. Probably something about how she's not a vegetarian. 😂
One of my biggest turnoffs for a movie is a really simple, and generic concept that's fluffed out into a full length film. Like bow much better would this movie have been if she gets to like a halloween party, and they're reenacting scenes from iconic horror films, and killing people at the party. You could do this neat thing of trying to figure out who's actually being killed, while also trying to figure out who in the audience is knowingly killing people and who's just oblivious and going along for the ride.
It would require to have more actors on the stage actually acting, not just a bunch of nobodies pretending to be a crowd
The guy playing the killer has great acting skills, ngl.
Can’t believe they got Jerma in that movie. He totally stole every scene he’s been in.
Jerma is actually in every movie, he's just such a good actor you usually don't know it's him.
this movie was like if a nine year old made a horror movie
They had a party and then this guy being reallly creepy and then he leave his phone is room, and then the girl sees a creepy video but the phone died, and then the dude and his frends go crazy! and then his parents were actually crazy too!
The congressman thing is actually a pretty clever way to get rid of phones
I think i wouldve just found the video, sent it to myself, leave the phone, leave the party, and go to the popo
Or like send it directly to them because you can do that
If the video is too long to send then id just clip a portion of it showing them harassing this girl, or skip through until i see something horrible and clip that.
Problem solved
Yeah, I always come to see Elvis reviews instead of watching the whole movie. For the bad ones I mean. The good movies, I usually avoid spoilers!
As a former highschooler who went to high school parties. Yeahhh that was 100% not accurate…we had a party at house in literally In the middle of nowhere. Cops showed up. Everyone was taking forever to get out of the house. My ex left her shitty jacket there. It was about 1am. So outside stranded in a field….I had to do the most saddest thing ever…. call my mom to pick us up💀 I had at least 4 people with me plus my ex. There’s wayyyy more to this story💀 got a lil worse.
Gotta say, quite enjoy the MatPat-esque stills whenever they pop up.
It’s like if MatPat was good.
I can't believe I just witnessed someone make a Bert McCracken reference in 2023. Also, I'm kinda shocked you thought he looked more like Bert and not Kevin Bacon, which was my immediate association.
Same, I automatically thought of Kevin Bacon haha
I've seen movies rely heavily on a mcguffin but holy hell this movie takes it to a WHOLE new level!
I have two theories on why his name is Gooch 1) it's a demeaning nickname 2) he's Italian and his last name is "Gucciarelli" or something
Omg, youve never seen Ma?? I NEED that to be the next review! 😂
The actress that played the killer's mom is Anne Heche, who was very popular in the late 90s. She also dated Ellen DeGeneres and they were known as Hollywood's first gay power couple. Her death in 2022 was completely bonkers, she was high on cocaine and fentanyl and crashed her car twice before driving 30 ft into a house. She became trapped in her car, which caught on fire.
It reminds me of that terrible movie about two girls climbing onto a tower in the desert 😃
Fall right 😂
Saw that one yesterday, funnily enough. It was lame af and the actor for the Dad chatacter was the only good thing about it
I haven't seen Fall, but I've heard it's actually alright. With decent tension at times, relatable and likable characters, and decent problem solving skills once things start to go downhill.
Ahhh Fall is so bad and stupid ! 🤣The characters don't make sense either
No wonder she needs mr senator to get into that school; she sure wouldn't make it on her own with a brain like that 😂Could probably make it as a Hollywood writer tho
Nah she's over qualified to be a Hollywood writer
The movie script seems like generated from an AI 😂
Fed the worst scripts in existence.
This feels like this is the Illumination's _Super Mario Bros. Movie_ situation all over again, where the movie got praised by the audience, but the critics loathed it for invalid reasons. The current state of online critics is killing me.
*Edit:* The people in the replies who agree with the critics really proved my point even further.
Like the title of the movie!
But this movie strangely got 86% from both critic and audience which is weird AF, so it's a different situation compared to Mario.
@@ryantheanimator1156what judging a video by it's tittle dose to you
The Closer Look made a great point about critic and audience perceptions; audiences who rate a movie are almost always those who seek the movies out, but critics are often forced to watch these movies which they have no interest in. So on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is the target demographic, and the critics’ consensus is a miscellany of people who may or may not have wanted to watch it
The criticism for the super mario movie were not invalid?
Honestly, if I found a video like that on someone's phone. The first thing I'd do is send it to my phone so that way, I can give the phone back without letting the people know that I know. Then I'd leave the party (taking my drunk friend with me) and immediately go to the police and show them the video.
If only anyone involved with this movie could comprehend that level of intelligence, this movie wouldn't exist lol
Elvis, you're killing us by holding us hostage in your basement forcing us to watch your videos
Here before this blows up!!
Elvis you're killing us
Kevin... I mean Jim, I mean Elvis: let me go please.
I wasn't held hostage just dont have anything better to do
I feel half of the bad desisions the characters make in this movie where made because the film crew didn't had access to another locations. Why didn't Eden ran away when Onision kicked everybody out of his house? Why didn't Onision took Kendra to the hospital ans tried to get the phone back the next day? Because the filmakers didn't have the permits to shoot a chase scene throught the woods, or in the highway, or Eden's neighborhood, or anywhere else besides the mansion and its lawn... that's my theory
Maybe true, but I think the script comes first and it was just written like this so they didn't even try to get access to more locations bc the script was focused on one location anyway. They wanted so badly to have this "everything goes crazy in one location" horror trope. Probably they asked the writer/s to write the story in this way, bc it would be cheaper to execute. A lazy production from start to finish.
She had video evidence that the three creeps committed a murder she had one of the killers' phone......and she didn't upload it to TH-cam? That video would've gone Viral in a heartbeat and they would've been screwed.
It’s sad seeing Anne Heche here. It was filmed just before she died. RIP
It certainly is... and it's kinda weird how he casually mentions it tho: "so yeah, there's that"... a bit insensitive maybe?
@@LucyTohsakajust a lil bit “oh yeah, this lady got into a crazy accident and died🤪”
@@RatKingTerry Also, buy my shirts!
Kind Of Strange Hearing Someone calling other people sociopaths and then casually mentioning a persons death as a fun fact…
I could give a few arguments about why some characters made such dumb decisions, though the movie does seem to kinda debunk one of them.
1. Zarza isnt stumbiling drunk because the shock of the situation scared her out of her stupor. She didnt notice the barricaded door because she was too focused on throwing up. She thought Gooch locked himself out so him going through extremes for the window didnt make her think anything.
2. Protagonist ran for the ladder because she felt more safe being by her friend / strength in numbers. Though i do agree with Elvis 99.9% of people would see trying to climb the ladder as a big hazard in such a situation.
I would argue that taking the gamble on being on the roof before the guy gets to the ladder seems better than trying to simply outrun him on flat ground. Also the higher she is on the ladder the harder it would be for him to tip it over. Seems like a decision that definitely more than 0.01% of people could make. Aside from just running onto the street and screaming on top of your lungs, which probably would be a better gamble.
Eden *REALLY* wanted to kill someone with a toaster bath. Once she got that out of her system, she didn't care about shooting the actual villain. 😌
Dude, you described the killers look perfectly.
I didn't watch the movie but when you started to describe what she does when she finds the phone filled me with such raw rage that i had to sit down, look at the wall and breathe for a moment.
Honestly, someone recording a video of the person they killed and not deleting it off their unlocked phone, isn't too far off from reality
"Your killing me (2023)" a guide on what not to do in this situation
They should've renamed the movie to "Let Me Watch The Video: I Need A Charger".
“Anne Heche died, here’s my clothing brand”
Bro why didnt she just send the video/air drop it to herself 😂😂😂
Or to the police
@@awkwardotter13 you cant just send videos to the cops lol. you would need to actually physically show them.
Not only would some people be too drunk to leave but there would also be a bunch that wouldn't leave just to be contrarian.
All I could think of each time onion boy was on screen was how much he looks like Bradley Uppercrust III from An Extremely Goofy Movie.
This is probably the dumbest excuse to get rid of phones in a horror movie I've ever seen.
EDIT: Yes, it might be reasonable that the kid of the congressman demands it. But why would you ever comply? (Especially if it's Onision...)
I thought it was pretty convincing. If one's dad was a public figure such as a politician, one wouldn't want people possibly recording some inappropriate stuff at his home and with his kid possibly appearing too, it could hurt his image, especially since it's a party with alcohol involved.
How so? I thought it was a surprisingly good reason. Its a party at a huge politicians house by his son, of course you don't want that shit going public
@@Condorian_ Alright. But imagine you actually go the the party of Onision. Would you give him your phone?
@@asterionarts7490 well, yes....? He acts like a normal guy up until the moment Cooch loses his phone and I would have no reason to suspect him of doing anything shady. To me he would be just a rich kid throwing a party at his parent's house, what is so weird about that?
@@asterionarts7490 The irl Onision, no. But Barrett who we're CALLING Onision? Yes.
The longest you can record for TikTok is ten minutes.
As for what I'd do - I'd leave the party but in the meantime I'd start uploading the video to platforms like TH-cam so even if he gets his phone back and deletes it it's still uploaded somewhere for the cops to see.
As far as contrivances go, the whole congressman phone yoink actually is sorta refreshing
This movie was reviewed by 7 critics on rotten tomatoes. Sample size matters people.
I didn't connect the rich kid to Onision at all until Elvis mentioned it. But now that I've reached that point in the video, I can't unsee it.
If she’s a high school girl I’m a damn senior citizen
4:54 the bloodborne sound effect made me panic for no reason. My brain was like “what’d I press?!?!”
THE GOON PLATOON, OMG! I was laughing so freaking hard😂😂😂
Why are we still getting writers who refuse to make realistic and believable characters and motivations. It's the first thing you learn in a writing class that characters who make unrealistic and bad choices are immediately unlikable unless they want everyone to hate the characters. It might be called your killing me because I keep telling myself that after every decision is made.
This is what happens when a pantser writes a script. The premise is quite unique, but I don't think they thought this one through
2:05 He actually looks like a cross between a young Kevin Bacon and Willem Dafoe
with Nicholas cages Snakeskin jacket
The thumbnail had me wondering if Onionboy was in the movie, the actual actor still makes me question that.
Come on Elvis, let's be real.
This is one of MANY reasons why we don't trust critics lol.
To be fair my phone has no pass code but i delete everything 24/7 from the phone. 😅
CORRECTION: this is why you don't trust rotten tomatoes. IMDB has this shit at a 5.0 LOL
Fun Fact: Movie Ma was also a "you killing me" type of movie😅
"You're killing me" is definite an appropriate name for this film because it was making me laugh so hard 😂
Your voice reminds of that guy from office space, it makes the reviews much more entertaining.
If your characters have to be needlessly stupid for your story's plot to work, then REWRITE THE STORY.
The “stuck in the room” section was fuckin KILLING me (did not use this phrase ironically, I was legitimately dying). WHAT WAS SHE DOING?! I almost skipped forward cos I was so frustrated with this character’s decisions.
Edit: I skipped forward cos I couldn’t stand it. Omg. This was terrible.
I never trusted any critics
That’s so cool
One of my more popular friends’s last name is actually gooch and it’s actually grown so much on everyone around him that we all call him that and don’t even register the jokes anymore
Kids, this is why you study. So u don't act the fool like the kids in this movie.
My phone cameras all seem to have a "pause" button when I start recording a video, I can pause the recording and then restart it again and it creates an automatic time cut in what is still one full video file. I do this for my cooking videos a lot so I don't have one big long video or a bunch of little videos to edit later. I'll get some footage, pause recording to stir or prep some other ingredients, place everything and unpause the recording to record the next part, etc.
He really does look like Onion Boy. Good casting and makeup for a psychopathic character, honestly.
You can tell who commented before they made it to the end because, what the actual fuck?? excuse me? Can you elaborate on that end part a bit, sir?
you should pretty much always form your own opinion and not rely on others
True, if someone is interested in a movie that a TH-camr clowns on, they don’t have to be dissuaded into watching it. Also, far too many people consider tubers like Elvis to be a critic, when he’s clearly just watching movies, and having fun making videos, nitpicking and picking them apart (which I find more entertaining than a movie reviewer)… but if your broke, watching these videos are way better than spending money on a movie like this one that I personally concider doggy doodoo
i was more surprised by th fact that a killer even cared for his friends deaths at all, like obviously the phone with evidence is way more important
This isn’t a so bad it’s funny, it’s so bad it actually annoys me
Now I need you to review MA 🤣 I absolutely dig your critiques 🤣
He already did
@@salty_deez he said he had not done it yet.
