I am actually glad, most of the characters in this movie were quite smart and made relatively good, yet realistic, choices. It was a refreshing change to the usual decisions made by characters in survival films.
Yeah it was pretty good they still did make many mistakes but it was better than seeing people only makin mistakes in these kinds of scenarios. Though I think there best scenario idea would have been to keep the red door Hidden. They should have just hidden the door from outside and should have had another exit prepared, with seperate food supplies.
Look at: "Cargo" It's infection movie with most stupid MC I've ever seen. Including movies about people with development difficulties.
@@Petaurista13 That movie truly is the worst. I couldn’t even understand how those characters managed to survive as long as they did seeing as how stupid they were. Why wouldn’t the husband communicate to his wife that he suspected a zombie was present in the abandoned boat with the supplies?? What was he to gain from keeping that secret? So many dumb decisions in that film really made it irritating to watch.
@@dealneil4982 IMO, he didn't respect her as a genuine partner and wanted to continue a false perception of normalcy. His wife always taking care of the baby, both shielded from the ugliness of the real world. If he came to terms that normal was over, allowed his wife to do the same tasks while he watched the baby and tackled larger problems together....maybe they would all still be alive.
That's because It Comes At Night is a really good movie. I couldn't recommend it any higher.
this movie really does show what Nerd Explains has in mind when he says "one misstake is all it takes" when talking about these scenarios. Dog had a bad leashe, and not following the protocol, that is it.
The leash isnt really the problem. Almost no one uses wire reinforced leashes these days and no one expects a dog to bite through a normal rope material leash especially one that seems trained and well behaved.
i'm a dog lover and i would problem do the same because my dog is the only thing i care a lot for
@@FoxSenpie ur name is fox senpai. u would be the bait everyone uses.

@@FoxSenpie jesus christ how old are u? U think just because u can run ur gonna be able to outrun a bullet? Fuck sake are u 9?
Travis fucked up one of the best survival scenarios in movies ever , what a shame .
Facts no cap
He was a good man. What a rotten way to die.
Unironically this could have been a really good TV show
Ok
How else would they push the story along without his stupid decisions he makes.
Nerd explains: “you’ll have to live knowing that you caused someone innocent to die.”
Cinema summary: “ah yes very sad, anyways.”
Ying and yang
hmm yes true
As much as I enjoy Cinema summary I do think some of his plans and ideas are very short sighted or even plot armour like. His plan to sacrifice everyone works in the short term till people realise your that type of guy and then well game over. He is way to quick to just think kill someone to be honest and he also seems to rely way to much on hindsight or narrator vision to come up with his schemes and not what an actual person in the story would have.
Nerd Explains seems more grounded with his replies.
@@RomanHistoryFan476AD You just revealed your true feelings about Cinema summary. This was your biggest mistake.
@@wasabi622 I like Cinema Summary a lot his videos are great. But I will not lie and pretend I agree with everything he says.
I do think he is short sighted sometimes in his plans and rely on backstabbing and foresight for his ideas.
(Love the joke comment by the way classy)
I like the sort of duality between Nerd and Cinema. Nerd is softer, focusing on the importance of teamwork, sorta; whereas Cinema is harsher and prioritizes the importance of individuality, sacrificing everyone else to get the best chances of survival.
A collab between these two would be *really* interesting.
it would be cool to see them play off each other like good cop bad cop or something seeing how they both approach these situations so differently
Do they know/word with eachother? They have the same thumbnails, video style, and started doing these videos barely 2 months apart
it'd be like having an angel and devil on your shoulder! id watch that
ikr
No, a debate would be better than a collab.
All I can say is that I recall this film didn't do well with audiences, because the marketing all played up the angle of a concrete, physical "it", like a monster or something, that would come in the night, bringing now-standard action-horror.
Instead we got a fairly obvious metaphorical "it"; human fear and paranoia being the primary threat, putting the virus as a secondary issue.
There is a background presense of a possible "It" monster at several points in the movie, but that's a very minor thematic device. It sucks that the marketing (which is out of the filmmakers control) decided to heavily play that up. Because this movie is incredible and it has been review bombed because of that marketing decision.
I'll be one who admits that I was about to post a comment asking what the 'it' was supposed to be for this movie, but then I saw this comment here. Makes a lot of sense, and shame on me for not realizing it for more than half an hour!
@@enotsnavdier6867 yeah, but the only indication of that is the kid's drawings. the faceless, shadowy figures in the trees. It never really goes further than that. There's Paul's while thing about not going out at night, but that's never really expanded on about WHY. They burn Bud's corpse, and we never hear or see any sign of a monster. All we know is that Stanley the dog sensed something, ran off after it, was suddenly silenced, and later returns (or is returned?) badly injured, dying,, and clearly infected with the disease the humans are hiding out from. We don't know if the dead revive as zombies or whatever other possible nature the disease might have. Clearly the rule about not going out at night isn't absolute, since several times the characters do go outside at night, and even spend the whole night outdoors, so it's not a guaranteed death sentence, like "there are things roaming around at night that'll kill you if you're outside, but they sleep during the day, so it's safe" or anything like that.
Uh, guys? The "It" is the symptoms of the disease. Every night he had dreams of infected people infecting him, the flesh sores only come out at night, and that's the only time his eyes do the thing. The "it" are the symptoms. The reason no one leaves at night is because that's when the disease is most infectious. It's not some metaphor for fear
@@chukita374 in-universe, yes. As a movie, in a meta sense, the "it" is fear and paranoia, both of which are exacerbated on a fundamental psychological level by darkness and the night.
11:00 That was the smoothest transition to a sponsor i ever heard, i wasn't looking at the screen for a second and thought he was still talking about the movie.
Same lol I was so confused for a second 😂
Really smooth
Broo so smooth
those 3 questions rick grimes ask are how many walkers have you killed ,how many people have you killed and why
😂😂😂
I expected to be scared by this movie; I came away sad and disturbed.
hehehehehe
If you changed sad and disturbed to bored, me too.
@@MrMasterCGO I can't disagree with you more. This is one of my favorite movies, it's outstanding. The tension, suspense, themes, acting, and overall filmmaking are superb. I understand that many people don't like slow pased movies, but I think this movie does a slow pace phenomenally. I won't insult you for not liking something I do though, I've been bored myself by many movies that people gush about.
@@enotsnavdier6867 my issue isn't that it was a slow paced film, my issue is nothing happened the whole movie.
So no jumpscares?
One small detail about Paul’s prepping: his beard and gas mask. If he want to get a proper seal and effective protection with a gas mask, he needs to shave it regularly. Travis is a young man who would have started growing facial hair at this point, and appears clean shaven throughout the film. Paul would have had the same access to shaving supplies. As cool as the survival beard is, in this scenario it’s got to go.
Fun fact that's exactly why the military no longer allows beards in active service
@@dadcomeback1470 we’ve got waivers of course, but they require beards to be maintained at a certain length.
It is said that Hitler had his mustache the way it was because any more facial hair would have ruined the gas mask seal. I don't know if this is complete bullshit but I've heard it somewhere and thought it sounded interesting.
@@maximalsakerhet7930 That sounds like bullshit to me, there is no gas mask that is sucked so close to your face that your mustache has any impact. Any gas mask you look at the nose region gives plenty of room. Even the old ones
@@bigbay1159 your beard pulls your mask away from your face, letting the booboo air get in. mustache can do the same thing, though that's very unlikely even with a really fucked beard
Alright, so I know the easiest answer is that Travis got infected by bringing in Stanley. But there's actually a lot of problems with that answer. The most pressing one for me is how did he manage to not get blood on himself while transporting Stanley? Why not wear a gas mask, why would he leave the door unlocked? Did he sneak back into his parents room to return the key, then go back to his room, lay down, get back up, find Andrew, return him to his parents, and then go downstairs? Also, remember that Will got into hand to hand combat, and could have become infected easily.
I've seen it's implied that a side effect of the disease is sleep walking. And remember how Andrew was found in the middle of the hall? So was Andrew actually infected beforehand, possibly by Will who got into hand to hand combat? Maybe he infected Travis when Travis taught him how to color? Idk, I think the fact that no one actually knows what happened, yet people blame Travis is a big mistake. As pointed out, maybe older people get sick quicker, so maybe the reason Travis kept dreaming of Bud is because Bud infected him before the movie even started.
Giga brained answer. Dude that’s a great assumption. I wonder what the OP thinks of this…
Dang that actually makes total sense. Good point! In the video I assumed that Travis only went outside to look for Stanley in his dream too. Wasn't 100 percent sure if I missed a part of the full movie or something.
There are some facts that we can be sure of. Sorry for my english, it's not my first language.
First - Who gets infected, already shows clear symptoms in 24 hours.
Reason: Paul leaves Will tethered around this time in the tree to confirm the infection.
Second: The Dog was brought into the room.
Reason: When Will breaks into the house at the beginning of the movie we can clearly see that there is another door after the red door.
Third - No one was infected until the dog showed up infected.
Reason: Will had been in the house for days after touching the blood of the two men who attacked them.
Fourth - The only way to open the door is from the inside, and with the key.
Reason: It was said and we all saw it several times during the movie.
The questions that will solve these mysteries are the following:
Who had the motivation or innocence to want to go out at night and drag an infected dog into the house?
Who could open the doors?
Who had access to the keys?
And last and foremost, who got infected first at the end of the movie?
All answers point to Travis.
Bro wrote a whole paragraph
@@VitorGamesPlayy that seems reasonable, but opperates under the assumption that if you get infected you show symptoms whithin a day (that is what they believed, but they also said they escaped early during the infection and may not be informed of the many different possible cases)
I feel sorry for Stanley, really sad to see doggos die slowly and painfully like that

Jesus loves you very much repent and believe onto Him for salvation that He died, was buried, and rose and be saved from hell :)

Travis was very childlike in his maturity. I don't know if the directors were purposely using Andrew as like a mirror for him, but he seemed like a big kid. In my head I imagine the parents were so overprotective of him that they never let him develop and mature.
Fr this honestly seem the most realistic
I was thinking the same thing...they only prepared for survival right now and didn't build him to be prepared without them. Perfect example would be the Walking dead....Rick prepared Carl for the new situation and didn't just keep him locked away. Teenagers always have some form of rebellion so it makes sense that he would think I could find him on my own instead of listening to his dad.
I feel like many people today know you can't really knock someone out conveniently. You either are hitting them hard enough to nearly kill them or you're just hitting them just hard enough to cause pain/shock and pacify them.
How are we supposed to knock people unconscious?
@@erinw.9256 Sedatives, I guess? But even that's not really safe outside of a carefully controlled environment.
Choke them. Cut off blood circulation on the left and right of their neck. Do not press frontally unless you want them to die.
After a few seconds of left and right choke you got them unconscious. But thats no "2 hours later he woke up" type of unconsciousness
“As soon as people started getting sick he headed for the hills” makes you wonder if anyone’s been living off the grid like that thinking the world has collapsed after covid started
Kind of, there was a man who had lived completely off grid for a few years who came back off the mountain in July of last year, needless to say he was a bit confused
Is this really a "head to the hills" virus tho yes millions have died but it has a very high survival rate
@@vegetalover9297 Only if they get treatment in time. If left untreated,50% of bubonic victims die, and pretty much all of septicemic victims.

The pillow trick only works with pistols, a revolver won't work like the one he uses as there is a gap between the cylinder and barrel. So, no difference between shooting with a pillow and without. About the only perk will to limit blood and tissue from making as big a mess, it won't stop most but will stop some.
A revolver is a pistol.
@@Texasp12 a revolver is a stronger pistol
@@Texasp12 While that may be true on a technical level, on a colloquial level there is a difference. For example when I think of a pistol I think of a .45 1911 or a mauser, when I think of a revolver I think of a smith and wesson snub nose or a colt army revolver.
@@vaultdweller1386 A pistol is a firearm that is designed to be used by one hand. A 1911 is a pistol as much as a Colt single action is one. A bolt action rifle is still a rifle even if it's not a semi-auto. Just because they use different loading mechanisms, and doesn't make it pistol or a rifle.
@@KorukLanut I would say that pistols can shoot bigger bullets, but i still wouldn't want to be shot by a semi-auto that shoots 22lr.
Travis seems to have been in the Apocalypse for years. I wanna say Paul probably never allowed Travis to perform with agency in these scenarios. Children who grow up without agency do tend to snatch freedom when given the chance even at stupid moments. Travis, without the proper rearing that reinforces his agency, decision making, upbringing and identity, would probably have settled on smart decisions rather than desperate ones as a teen. I’d say Travis was a time bob set by Paul’s overbearing nature as the paranoid survivalist leader of the pack, but this was the first confrontation they had to probably assess that Paul was not reinforcing Travis in the ways that would help assert a need for independent thought.
I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly, the "Apocalypse" of this movie had only been 1 year at the most. None of the characters really ever knew the full scope, or what was truly going on. I don't personally think that Travis was overly dumb, he's not a kid but he's pretty young. I think its reasonable for him to have never truly believed that it was the Apocalypse or that they would be safe. There's also the fact that there's no reason to believe that Travis had ever faced much direct conflict. Paul likely had ample experience with conflict at some point, whether during the crisis or before. I think Travis' lacking in competence can be chalked up to those things, plus the fact that average people aren't generally that competent in the situations he was in.
thats called a liability ...and the moment it starts to rear its head you beat it until it conforms...or shoot it before it dooms you all.
@@HiragamaIkunai And then eventually the people around you start to hate you enough that they rise up against you and YOU become the next victim. Have you EVER watched an apocalypse movie, or studied real life history? Things don't end well for the person who acts the way you're suggesting.
@@LordofFullmetal Mishima's suggestions would have worked in this situation.
@@AlphaFoxAdam Or ended with more tension that just kills everyone involved. You know, like trying to shut shit down with force and fear tends to do in incredibly tense situations.
So the final "nightmare" Travis receives is when he supposedly goes outside to find Stanley. If this nightmare was what had really happened and he was the one who drug the dog inside, then does that mean he and Kim really did smash? Especially with the flirting that had gone on. It would make sense if the nightmares are repressed memories instead of just simple nightmares, though obviously they're twisted slightly because of the plague itself. Plus not to mention that most likely would turn into a repressed memory as to not tick off Will. Opinions?
I like how you got 146 likes and no one decided to mention any opinions. As for me I think the first few were nightmares while the last dream was him recalling what he did followed up with his nightmare gramps. I also like the theory were maybe Travis was infected before the movie even started by his gramps but that would disprove the 24 hour infection time. Then again younger people do have better immune systems so it's not entirely impossible.
@@JCfireman i agreed
@@deadded5793 I agree that you agreed
@@JCfireman I was on 3% and did not want to leave this comment without opinions.
@@deadded5793 agreed 👍🏾
Those nightmares Travis has almost feels like fever dreams, as if he’s been infected already but it’s taking longer because he’s young and fighting the virus .
I dont know why this annoys me so much but it does, the pillow "silencer" isn't there to be a silencer. If you're shooting someone in the head, it's gonna be kind of messy, blood, brain and skull fragments are gonna be flying around and at you, if you put a pillow directly on them, that doesnt happen and it's much cleaner.
To be honest I thought they used the pillow so they didnt have to see his face when they shot him
@@thedancingsphee5318 yeah, the cliche of the pillow is used in other things where the killer does not care about the person they're killing so that leads me to believe that it's the cleanliness thing but its definitely a huge positive here. The guy was a family member, it probably makes it way easier to do when he doesn't have to see his face.
He mentioned that too
i thought they did they so blood doesnt fly everywhere
I always wondered out the loud ass gun kill then location give away by burning near the house thing.
Rules of being in a horror film:
1: If you hear a strange noise in hallway/entrance, DON'T check it out. Get out!
2: We travel IN GROUPS. DO NOT go ANYWHERE alone for any reason, even if it's to use the bathroom.
3: If you Break Rules 1&2, you will be quarantined for 1 week. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
4: New additions will be quarantined and questioned for 1 week.
5: Be prepared to cut EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS. It may seem cynical but you CAN NOT risk the GROUPS safety for you personal feelings.
6: Failure to adapt or the intentional rebellion against the above rules will result in IMMEDIATE expulsion, possibly subject to termination.

@@faust6837 😂😂
@@faust6837 it could be a direct wired connection
My favorite part of this movie was how they handled the intruder.
No boneheaded-flubs, no pointless emotional hysterics, well rehearsed defensive actions where each member pretty much knew their role and didn’t break from the plan.
But that damned bolt-action rifle: I really feel like it’s for higher skilled gunsmen. I mean, even a lever-action seems preferable to me, but that being said they probably didn’t have their pick o’ the litter weaponry-wise.
Ok but hear me out, the dreams the kid was having was delirium brought on from early stages of the disease. They were infected before the other group showed up, before the dog was lost, everything.
This entire movie could’ve been Beaten by the simple thing of
“KEEP your dog in a leash or make a dog gate so he can’t jump over and into the door”
Also don't have a Travis as your survivor buddy.

@@jeofbrinclhof7861 17:32
I know Paul made mistakes but damn he was a hell of a survivor for the most part.
I think Travis was traumatized by what he saw happen to Stanley and temporarily repressed the memory. When he realized he was responsible for opening the door and causing the mistrust, he panicked and refused to tell anyone. He saw what happened to those who are infected. He knows his dad is paranoid and takes extreme measures. He was already doomed, but wasn’t ready to accept it.
The movie is told from Travis point of view and ultimately he is an unreliable narrator because he didn't want the truth of what he did to come out, only the dreams he has tell the truth, hence why the film is called it comes at night
Smoothest ad transition ever. I didn’t even notice until it was halfway through
17:31, Side view of driver with driver window in full view, clearly a man sitting on a stump they drive by.

Sick detail
The way the camera moves to keep that "detail" in the center of the screen made me think that it wasn't really meant to be a detail. i however had to go back to make sure the shape was actual human and not a weird tree. Clever move either way, they made it obvious and hidden at the same time.
Yep the same happens at 21:33

For every 1 person who uses The Walking Dead as an example of how to survive an apocalypse, is at least 5 people I won't have to worry about.

Same.
I've got ADHD but I feel ya with eye contact. I've practiced looking at foreheads, noses, and cheeks instead, but it still feels awkward lol
Honestly, I think autism and ADHD can work in a survival situation. The inattentiveness is a bitch to deal with usually, but the details that are noticed would be worth it.
looks like this could have been an actual functioning "after Apocalypse" movie,
but the creator decided to throw in a useless teen just to create chaos and fuck up everything in the end anyway.
kinda sad
tbh it's only non-realistic character
If you watch the movie, Travis isn't really that incompetent. Some of the stuff Nerd Explains says, like Travis going looking for his dog, are stated too much like facts in my opinion. That's because it isn't certain that Travis did so. The movie leaves a lot of stuff up to the viewers interpretation, and there are numerous theories about certain parts. A huge theory was that Travis DID open the door, but that he did it while sleep walking. And because it's heavily implied that sleep walking is a symptom of the illness in the movie, one of the most prominent theories was that Travis was infected the entire movie. The movie doesn't answer every question on purpose, to put you in the mindset of the characters. The major theme of the film is what paranoia and fear do to people, and it does an excellent job immersing you in that. I'd wholeheartedly recommend watching it, because it's a phenomenal movie.
@@enotsnavdier6867 Finally somebody with some intellect... I just saw some kid say "Why would they let another family into their "safe haven" not fully understanding the story nor the moral behind it.
@@enotsnavdier6867 Exactly. People are just saying that Travis is dumb or a liar for opening the door and not telling, but I think he did it while sleepwalking and that it is a symptom of the illness. What I liked the most about this film is the scene of the dog because it's never explained what was hiding in the woods or what did that to the dog. Could be an animal, could be a survivor... Could be another thing. And the movie also kept me wondering if the virus had some kind of zombie mutation or something, because of the dreams with the infected with black eyes. I mean, it's not a zombie virus itself because, for example, Travis didn't become one, he just died. But couldn't be other people that got infected and turned into zombies out there? Maybe one of them did that to the dog. I suppose I made up this part because before seeing the movie I was waiting for some zombies to appear (not that I was disappointed at all), but I don't know, maybe it was more dangerous out there than we (or the characters) know. But I guess it's just a very infeccious, killing virus.
@@enotsnavdier6867
well yes. you are right and all, but: on the surface you just replaced "useless teen" with "already infected teen" or "mentally ill teen". you gave me a reason, but this does not change anything.
the problem stays: "someone fucked up to create chaos"
I always love the same thing which other people pointed out that Nerd explains makes each advice to the characters personal and individual taking into consideration charachter flaws and emotions and psychological deadhead which can and most of the time is crucial while making poor choices. As well as provides us with simple yet effective solution which doesn't require Navy Seal skill to pull off.
going out at night with your flashlight off seems like a bad idea. I know it’s for catching potential raiders off-guard, but it’s just as bad for you because it’s near pitch black in the middle of a forest while you’re hunting for a dangerous person.
They could potentially have night vision goggles or there could've been some infected around the place
With a flashlight you can see 50 yards in front of you, but you are visible from a mile away in all directions. The person without a flashlight has an advantage.
Turning on your flashlight in the dark is just as bad of an idea imo. You want to be the one to spot the threats first, not be spotted by them.
@@KorukLanut not even bro my dude had a whole flashlight outside he was a whole beacon.
@bLackstar That's assuming you turn the light on once you know where the person is and can catch them immediately with your flashlight in which case of course the flashlight is a good option. I think the argument is more for whether you should be turning on the flashlight to find the person outside in which case you have to correctly guess and hit the person with relatively limitless options for hiding with a fairly narrow beam of light. Whereas you become immediately visible to anyone anywhere near you. That being said I think the best case scenario is to not abandon your defensible house to go waltzing about the woods light or no.
Honestly, It's refreshing to see everyone make reasonable decisions, even if they weren't 100% perfect. I can't even fault Travis that much because it's really clear that he's been undergoing some really extreme mental disorders triggered by the stress of the situation. I believe him that he genuinely doesn't remember and doesn't believe that he ever left the house. All in all they just got unlucky that things didn't work out.
I never understood the need to keep the infected man in the house. That risk is way to great.
Clearly Travis is the weakest link. As old as he is I would be doing my best to teach him how to be productive and survival minded in case something happened to either of the adults. I completely understand the loss of the dog. However, it was completely reckless. Human life > Dog
The infected man was the Wife's father and Travis' grandfather. I think its pretty reasonable that they wanted to treat him well when they suspected he might be sick.
They should've had a better leash so the doggo won't be able to go and then try to feed the doggo so it can calm down
Dog>human life, not to be a annoying old woman or anything but human destroy planet.
@@Kyuubey0406 nah human>=dog
@@minatonaruto8813 explain how? i dont see dogs destroying the planet
Why would Travis go out side for the dog. It was 100% his fault why everyone died
Ok
Dogs are cool
This movie pissed me off for that reason do bsd lol
As much as I would do for my animals, if my dog ran out like that I wouldn't chase the fucker down.
Worst case the dog is killed and now I know exactly where atleast one enemy is.
They should've used a better leash. Still, Travis sucks
So... Knocking someone out with a rifle butt is actually a great way of killing them. Choke holds are much more, though not completely, predictable, but frankly, handcuffs (wrist restraints if you want to sound tactical) and handcuffing procedures are both easy to acquire. Just thumping someone in the head only works in movies (eh, sorta... it may work, but it is unpredictable and dangerous).
100% depends on how hard you hit them, a rifle butt too the gead absolutely doesn't mean you're going too kill them.
@@aarons6935 The point is that it's unpredictable, especially with a hard ridged item like a rifle butt. It is not completely, or even near completely, dependent on the amount of force used. A strike with a boxing glove following boxing rules may be mildly predictable, but that is simply not comparable to smashing someone in the head at unawares with what is essentially a heavy, ridged stick.
it would've been absolutely hilarious if, after being gun-bashed, he wakes up as a brain damaged paraplegic.
would've gained 10 points in my book due to realism
@@SOLARITY333 then he sharts his pants with a blank stare as Paul asks him the questions
2:15 it was necessary - to prevent wild animals or insects to become carriers. Big grave + burning the body + lime would have been better though.
Travis probably had a schizophrenia, but why his family were not aware of that?
Pro tip- its better to have a displaced light like holding one in your hand because when you have a rail mounted light all the assailant has to do is aim right at the light hit you in the face/chest
But if you are holding it LEO style resting you’re firing arm over your flashlight arm if they shoot for the light it will only hit your shoulder or miss you entirely
21:32 Is that someone sitting in the woods?!?! Jesus. Ive seen this movie before multiple times and never noticed that scene. Spooooooky
Omg it sure looks like it! Idk if it’s supposed to be a character or if it’s a fluke and maybe a crewman but either way it’s eerie
@@emily.g.929 right? The whole movie was terrifying, but noticing that guy gives me more shivers than any other scene.
The same figure can be seen at 16:49 , makes me think that maybe the movie director either dressed extras up in black or had vaguely humanoid figures/mannequins colored all dark made and placed appropriately and had them appear in blink-and-you'll-miss-it-scenes since that seems to ratchet up tension for sharp-eyed viewers who wonder if they just saw a person in the woods. It fits very well with the paranoia theme the film has going for it.
I wish Travis would have been more cautious about the dog sure he was probably the only friend you got.However he does need to understand that if he is gone in a post-apocalypse forest there is good chance he may be dead.Not to mention he is dealing with a family they just met not too long ago.Everyone so far made good decisions but didn’t think some of them threw but in heat of certain moments it’s just how humans are.
He is definitely reaching 1 mil after this video
Wooooo
The Prophet has spoken
You are correct!
He did
no shit , a toddler would come to that conclusion
Literally the best opening scenario in survival, literally group gets bigger via accepting people that bring their own supplies, literally a hidden away position that can be fortified relatively well and everything gets ruined by an idiot kid that killed them all by letting in an infected dog.
They effing had everything...
It's the parents fault theu didn't teach travis how to not be a bitch AND they didn't have a better leash
Let me give you some advice bud. Stop "literally" so often. It's making you look stupid. You misused it 3 times in a row.

Gotta love the ad tie ins. They aren’t all gems but a lot of them are so smooth. You can tell these scripts are really well thought out
I don't think Will was lying. We don't know how long this whole pandemic thing in the movie has gone on for and if it's been a while, it could make sense why he refers to his brother in law as his brother since they could have been staying together a decent chunk of time, plus we also don't know how close he was to his wife's brother, the two could have been good friends before he married Kim, in both these situation, or even both being true at the same time, Will could genuinely view his brother in law as his brother, and saying they were at his brothers, was quicker then saying his brother in law's every time he mentioned him. Found family is a real thing and people will often refer to people they aren't blood related too but have a strong bond with as family titles, like calling your mother's best friend who've you've known your whole life your aunt, even though there's no actual familial relation. Or calling your step-parents mum or dad. Him saying brother then revealing he meant brother in law isn't enough of a change to me for say Will was lying at any point. He had Paul alone for three days, or even had Paul with his family, and with a decent chunk of supplies, as well as access to Paul's truck and a route back to Paul's house, if he really meant ill he could have done it then, I think the fact he didn't speaks more then his vocal slip does.
Now Paul is 100% right to be a bit paronoid, he has just taken these total strangers into his home with his wife and son and obviously isn't going to trust them enough to let that slip go. He totally should have questioned Kim separately after Will's slip, ask if she had siblings, but also ask how well Will and her brother, if she admits to having one, got along, if she said what I said, that they were good friends before Will and Kim married, then that explains the slip. Paul was reasonably smart about planning stuff out, he made some mistakes but he's human, those mistakes are understandable since no one is going to think of everything, and he did take a lot more precautions then a lot of other people in these kinds of movies.
Travis is an idiot. He screwed up and got two families killed.
This is why I'm not afraid of the apocalypse itself but the people I might have to deal with,everything fell apart because of someone's rash decision
Damn fast upload hell yeah I can't get enough of these

Well this is rare, a pretty competent group of protagonists that make pretty good decisions most of the time. Weird to see how much NE agreed with the actions of a movie character for once lol
in regards to flashlights a good idea would also be to have one person in the group using the flashlight while the rest stay back and use their light to see the people your aiming at as well, makes it harder to tell how many people there are and thus lulls any potential threats into thinking they might have an advantage
I don't care how many times I have to say it. House of a thousand corpses my guy. Please... this has been my 15th video at least I've asked. I've Been watching for over a year. I just want one how to survive series of house of a thousand corpses
That movie is so evil
Right on time. I love watching these to help me get through long night shifts
Just watched this on my night shift lol
The transitions to ads are always so smooth, it catches me off guard everytime
17:31 does anyone else see what looks like a person or humanoid creature in the woods?
Yes! I’m surprised nobody else has noticed it so far. It looks to me like someone hunching over the stump of a tree and I’m not sure if it’s some weird branches
@@marleyl5494 exactly! Super creepy
I thought that when I watched the movie
This movie puts a weird focus on the fact that Will considered his brother-in-law his brother. It's not unheard of for the two to either have a friendship that came before the marriage or them to become great friends after the marriage.

Just wanna say. You’re by far my favorite channel for stuff like this. You don’t metagame and you always take perspective into consideration. None of your survival methods are outside of possibility for the characters that should have done them.
Much better than certain other similar channels out there of the same type.
Are you thinking of who I'm thinking?
Could you cover Superdeep? It's a fantastic Russian movie that makes me think of The Thing, the Penumbra games and a hint of the Last of Us!
The killing of the child in this movie and the mother's screams still haunt me the acting was too genuine I was a just recent father when I first seen this movie.
As for the revolver shot through the pillow, it wouldn’t silence it like a semiautomatic handgun because too much gas escapes through the cylinder gap of the revolver, creating noise.
Love the connection you made with the characters in the movie and then transition it over to your sponsor, also another amazing video
this man has the smoothest ad transitions in the history of youtube.
I saw this in theatres and everyone hated it. Someone literally yelled, “BOO MOVIE! BOOOOOO.”
Its amazed me how so many people have their front door made by wood. In my Country, almost everyone not only have an iron steel gate but also have double doors with the trellis iron steel on the front the wooden ones. The same goes to every windows on the front of the house.
This has been 2 years ago, but I'm really curious, where do you live cos that's highly unsual in most of the world.
I'd love to see you analyze something like The Belko Experiment or Mayhem. Closed quarters, pandemonium, limited weapons, I think it's right up your alley.
At the time of writing this, he is at 999k subscribers.. Glad you made it so far man! Totally deserved :)
I’ve watched this movie so long ago but forgot the name and it killed me not knowing what it was called. So thank you so much man it used to stress me out because I only watched it once but the plot was so good and I couldn’t find any other movie that really satisfied me much like this one
The biggest sin in this movie is that Paul wouldn’t be able to get a proper seal with his gas mask because of his lumberjack beard.

He really put The Sniper’s quote from TF2 into the end
Hey Nerd was rewatching some of your old videos like the one on Cube and it made me wonder -Where are the cube sequel videos? Was the first one just that complicated? Understandable.
I think it broke him, he went super deep into the mathematics of it only to conclude that it wasn't beatable. The sequels would probably feel futile after that for him, since it started off unbeatable
The cubes get bigger I think. If the first one broke him, oof
iirc the second movie makes use of some time travel bull shit because it takes place in a "hypercube" which would probably just throw a lot of logic out the door and the third one was some kind of prequel and would probably be very similar to the first one
That being said i would also like to see videos on the sequels

All horror movies have to have an isolated building in the woods I swear
Then what kind of location do you want?
The Hollywood elites want people to fear the woods smh
I personally think we should probably be more worried about major Cities like and New York or California.
Or any kind of large area.
Bro, I would stay in town because literally everybody is gonna go straight to the countryside. The farmland isn't gonna be isolated anymore and the city will be less crowded and thus more safe; there will be the occasional robber, but that's only during the first few months/weeks.
That voice line at the end of the video from meet the sniper is just perfect.
