Imagine having some evil clone steal your life as a child and after decades of planning you try to get your revenge but the clone that has no soul comes out as the victor and kills you.
Ann Criss this movie is so unique. Jeremiah 11:11 and the tethered coming up 33 years later displayed 11 22 33. The connection of the mind, body, and soul
The Female agreed. If he was the tether then why would the kid follow all the way to his death in the fire? They have no choice but to follow for the most part, at least. The creepiest thing by far is a baby born laughing. That’s got to be like... all of them, right? Because most babies cry after being born. Like immediately. Could you imagine having a newborn for a few minutes laughing? That’s a sociopath child I would give up for adoption for sure.
The female that totally makes sense. Did you notice how he was the only one that could control his doppleganger? I'm still confused about the mom though
Omega Alpha Lol! It does seem like an overreaction and a pretty low bar for a baby to just be given away! Agency: “So, why did you choose adoption for your baby?” CarlyK: “When he was born, he laughed.” 😂 😂
Cedric W Still no guarantee you’d be able to kill them. They’re faster and have had years to plan their attack. You saw how fast they took out the entire white family. Unless you have a gun glued to your cock 24/7 even when you’re at home late at night in a dressing gown. Plus how fast would you react to recognise your doppelgänger and your first instinct is to shoot an exact copy of yourself. Obviously some people did succeed as their were helicopters flying over the line in the ending, unless those helicopters were from other governments.
Lol. Well you'd be surprised to know your doppelganger also is trained to shoot and only needs to find a gun above ground before catching you by surprise...lol. muahahahahahahah. JK. But could happen though

There is no "REAL VERSION" of Jason! Both he and Pluto are half breeds (half tether and half human). Jason gave his mom (clone Adelaide) that look bc he now knows his identity and his mom's unlike his dad and his sisters. The reason why Jason lacks rhythm is bc he inherited clone qualities from his mom (clone Adelaide).
More terrifying with explanation. We are our worse enemy. Look at how some of us got to have the lastest iphone. I think that is lost pursuit because some of us don't even have a place to stay or nothing to eat. A great situation for our replacements to kill what is left of our humanity.
They weren’t snapping off beat, they were snapping on the upbeat. Which is even more symbolic that he could’ve been a tether because conventionally, people clap on the downbeat. They snap on the second half of the note hinting they are the other side/part of the same person/note.
The son is a product of a tether and regular person. This would explain why he's weird. The tethered version of the son is also half regular and half tether. This explains why the sons connection with his tether is strongest. They're the same. Wouldn't be much of a twist if they were swapped because it wouldnt matter. They're the product of the same thing. And if he's a swapped out tether why can he talk? Makes more sense that he's unique in the sense that he's from both worlds, essentially. The mask may represent this fact in some way or something else entirely, Idk.
@@TruYu maybe it's how young the boy is. The older a person gets the more experiences they have which would lead to more opportunities for your tether to resent you. Jason is young and aside from burned face they seem very similar. If anything it shows how we are more of a product of nurture versus nature. Our surroundings and experiences/friends and direct family mold is into who we are. I for one believe in personal accountability and that choices define who we are ultimately and that even someone born into a bad situation can get themselves out with the know how and dedication. Although learning proper values can be difficult with parents who think they are victims and claim the same for you. Anyway this comment isn't about that though. I might know why Jason wears the mask. I think he is compelled to wear the mask because his connection with the tether is so strong he feels the need to cover his burned face, even though it is not his face that is burned. Yo ken let me know if you think that's right I'm just spit-balling here. :D
John Gleue that is why the children were easy on killing! Half soul on them. It shows at the friend’s house they kill easily the tethers while the father doesn’t.
Both children are definitely in touch with their tethered side. When the daughter kills that first twin tether, it is a bit of a mirror to how adelaide kills the other twin tether.
The Jason theory is flawed because if he did get swapped how does one year in the tethered world make him become animalistic..and on the flip side how does one year in the SURFACE world teach the tethered version speech. Lupita had to go to years of therapy to learn speech.
Jason was also the only one to use “puppet power” on the tethered Jason causing him to walk backwards into the fire. None of the other family members did this with their tethered
@@Mimi-yo6wj I have a question If you have sibling does both if you share same interest and talents and even abilities has your sibling and your mom and dad have?
I think the real explanation for why Jason is "different" is he is more strongly "tethered" to his doppelganger than the others, so the thoughts and feelings of his doppelganger bleed into his mind and psyche affecting his behavior and personality.
Yeah, I think that's also why Pluto was different from the rest of the family. He wasn't interested in stabbing, he wanted to burn them, which explains why he didn't have scissors.
um then what about all of the other tethers and real humans that died? one problem with the audience is that we focus too much on the Adelaide switch + Wilson family and not the fact that every real human in Santa Cruz , and beyond, was killed by their clone.
Same here. I went in without hesitation to see this one knowing it would captivate my interests. I was much more excited than I was scared. I’ve been obsessed for like two weeks too. XD
Try hereditary, it’s another horror film with a satisfying deep lore. Hereditary and Us are my two favorite horror films right now. I would also recommend the witch, but that’s a slower burn than hereditary, and can be off putting if you’re not into pre 1800s themed horror. But I swear I’m tellin u hereditary is some good shit, just remember it’s half family drama/half horror
The boy was switched. The tether below controlled what the humans above did. The humans repeated the actions of the tethered. The tether boy caused the human boy(burnt face) to walk backwards into the fire and die.
Honestly that's the least of the plotholes in the film; start asking questions and the entire thing falls apart. I think the film works best if you try to think of it as like an old fairytale or parable where the message is more important than the story actually making sense. eg. Little Red Riding Hood; it shouldn't make sense that a wolf is able to secretly replace the grandma without anybody really noticing; but it is important to the message as the story was originally intended as a metaphor warning young girls to avoid rapists and pre-marital sex; both of which are represented by the wolf.
Dont Worry He’s still a thethered, that’s just like saying “i was born and raised in England but moved to France and therefore I’m french” that doesn’t mean you’re french, you’re still English.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT JASON CONTROLLING HIS DOUBLE?? jason immediately started making his double move when they first met. as if he knew what to do. and he was the only one who did this the whole time!! what’s that about??
There's no Tether like behaviour though. The Tether just don't have the same upbringing. Because they lack certain opportunities they didn't have ability to talk and possibly even write however they are exactly like their counterparts. So it would reason that Tether like behaviour due to being birthed shouldn't matter. This is exemplified simply by the fact that Red took Adelaide's place and assimilates into the above world. So even if you were to argue that the children are half Tether, they aren't in the same situation as those below so it wouldn't affect their speech and behaviour.
Ruthie Bella He might just forgot the magic trick. His other didn’t know how to do it either. It’s a great theory that he switched places too because the ‘other’ Jason face is burned off, but the surface Jason knows how to talk properly.
Many of the tethered mirrored the actions of the real ppl. The roller coaster scene, every scene at the boardwalk showed that. Jason learned his shadow mirrored him in the closet. He's not tethered, but his shadow probably was trying the magic trick underground and burned himself.
I just thought at the end Jason knew something was up with his Mom, but said to himself "meh" pulling his mask down...because he knew she'd never let anything bad happen to him anyway
They wouldnt be weird because they were born in the surface with different privelages... the tethered are weird because they're born beneath the ground in tunnels, eating raw rabbit and walking into walls constantly.
I have no issue with that whatsoever. If he’s leaving you asking questions and forming your own opinions he’s done a great job as a film maker. Not everything needs spelling out ffs.
@@MCR-M8 Never said that it did...but with ppl on this thing called the internet, wondering what a sequel could be, I'm just saying, prequel would be more interesting.
Jason is not a tether... he is a hybrid... Jason would have had to learn how to talk in order to switch places without suspicion and he would've had to do that instantly. He's just in touch with his mother's true nature.
Yeah THEM, or if Jordan went really deep it would be T.H.E.M. standing for Tethered Humans Eliminate the Masses. Now that would be scarier than a zombie movie
i thought the son lowered his mask because he was scared and that was his way of saying "i'm on guard". the twist was cool but it still had some plotholes for me.
I actually like hearing the movie explained to me because it makes it less scary. I also watch the making and bloopers of movies afterwards as well because it prevents me from constantly thinking about it at night and having nightmares about it.
@@floatinghamstick all of the kids were half human and half tethered... both of the "above ground" kids had a tethered for a mom and human for a dad, and both of the "below ground" kids had a human for a mom and a tethered for a dad.
I just don’t believe that the original son would change “that” much in one year. I understand the burns, but running around on all fours just one year after switching places seems too much.
7:40, no that makes 0 sense. Jason can't be his tether because he is the child of a tether and normal being. His tether has his face burned and cant speak.
Not necessarily. He could have been switched when he was very young and still very impressionable. Spending a few years underground eating rabbits with crazy people would probably make you run around like an animal too.
and HE'S more intuned because he isnt totally brainwashed by society just yet. it's a certain age you reach before you disconnect from your innate self which holds discernment and intuition.
@@birhangijam3679 lol no. 1. How come Pluto can't talk 1.5 how come Jason didn't need speech therapy since he wouldn't have known English, unless u think Red taught him only and no one else. If thats the case then both adelaide and Red would know thats not their son 2. Why can't the rabbit be a pet? I wanted a chinchilla when I was 10 3. Red said Pluto was a pyromaniac, Pluto likes fire and has a fucked face. Jason didn't play with actual fire. It's a shit theory mate sorry
@@chrisprilloisebola right. And how come the daughter isnt mentioned. She's half tethered aswell. I guess the son just have more of higher sense of what's going on. He's more intuned and the daughter has already adapted the ways of the world. Hell idk
@Bill Kill the real tether was distraught when the tether daughter was dying in the tree because, duh they are both tether. There is still that connection.
The only thing that will scare you is your mind. So for me and my friend, we are both, what I would consider intellectuals, so we went home and it wasn’t scary. But when we kept thinking about it and analyzing the situation, you sincerely get lost in your mind. Like how it would be to be hunted by yourself and how that would feel and stuff. It truly scared me to look at my reflection and then have my reflection smile at me or something. It’s just such a dark feeling
I thought it was kinda funny how that bad dad joke was foreshadowed. “Knock knock” said the dad, “who’s there” says Zora, “you” says the dad. Lol and red zora was the one who opened the door to get into the house
Jason was not replaced. Here's the reason. Red is good at ballet, Pluto is good at fire trick, Umbrae is good at running, Then Adelaide is bad at ballet, Jason is bad at fire trick, Zora is bad at running, You can see both underground and surface kids inherited their respective mom's bad or good talent. We can see that Adelaide and Jason are both bad at their talent so Jason was not switch. And also, Pluto's face burned coz while Jason was always failing to light the lighter, Pluto was always successful burning his face in the process since tethered people just copy the surface people's movement.
Can we agree that it was a great horror movie for using the amazing acting and directing to create an eery, tense atmosphere rather than relying on cheap jumpscares like most movies do nowadays, It, Insidious, happy Deathday, the ritual, truth of dare
OKAY I agree with every movie you listed except IT it does not use cheep jump scares, it has some jump scares but it does not rely on them and we watched a very different movie if you think it did
Disagree. There were some stupid jump scares in this. Loud noise of truck passing by when the family arrives at their vacation home. Boy jumping out of cupboard to scare his sister in bathroom. Those were still cheap. Albeit, it stopped pretty much after the tether family arrived.
In the Jewish order of books, Jeremiah is also the 11th book (1) Genesis (2) Exodus (3) Leviticus (4) Numbers (5) Deuteronomy (6) Joshua (7) Judges (8) 1&2 Samuel (9) 1&2 Kings (10) Isaiah (11) Jeremiah
Jason isn't a tether because he understood that the tethers just copy their human counterparts (after being in the closet with his tether) and knew that when he saw him standing in front of the car on fire, all he had to do was walk backwards and his tether would follow, walking right into the flames. I only know this because a friend got violently mad when also he presented this theory and couldn't explain away that scene.
@@xgamerchica3827 Because when the surface world Jason would practice his magic trick and fail to get the device to spark, the tethered Jason would do the same, activate his lighter, and burn himself.
@@PantherSV but why did he just forget how to do the magic trick since last summer, it makes sense that they switched because he also knew how to get the the underground tunnels to meet his mum
HE'S more intuned because he isnt totally brainwashed by society just yet. it's a certain age you reach before you disconnect from your innate self which holds discernment and intuition.
Regardless of scariness, I felt like I n e e d e d the explanation. While both Get Out and Us use unique plot-lines to tell storeis with a deeper meaning, I felt the Get Out plot was more put together/concrete compared to this one. And rather than being afraid, I was curious/confused as to how this would have come to be.
Without explanation (the last 20 minutes) the movie would have been a 40%. With all the explanation i give it a 90%+. I didn't understand RT's good scoring until it reached the very end.
Scissors is a sign two symmetrical sides coming together for one purpose to divide
Good point!
Wow physics

Thank you!!!! People keep saying he was switched and it felt like my bf and I were the only ones who said he wasnt switched lmao
I literally said the same thing after watching the movie
The boy was switched. The tether below controlled what the humans above did. The humans repeated the actions of the tethered. The tether boy caused the human boy(burnt face) to walk backwards into the fire and die.
Pacc Butler No you got it backwards the Humans above controlled what the ones below did.
If tethered Jason had matches why where they eating raw rabbit tf
Lmao
Cook the damn rabbit
asking the real questions
Honestly that's the least of the plotholes in the film; start asking questions and the entire thing falls apart. I think the film works best if you try to think of it as like an old fairytale or parable where the message is more important than the story actually making sense. eg. Little Red Riding Hood; it shouldn't make sense that a wolf is able to secretly replace the grandma without anybody really noticing; but it is important to the message as the story was originally intended as a metaphor warning young girls to avoid rapists and pre-marital sex; both of which are represented by the wolf.
The biggest question is why the tethered came out only now? They could have left the underground during all those decades since the door was open...
The more you watch this movie and the more you understand every little detail... The writer is a GENIUS
It's just like Hereditary and Midsommar, the more you pay attention, the more secrets/hidden things you find out
I haven’t laughed like that In a while
“See I told them, give me back my son!”
😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
S Lo I know right I’m still laughing 5 minutes later 😂😂😂
Wait where is this?
Lol yes that was truly hilarious!
lmao yeah that was pretty funny, caught me off guard
that really got me
That would explain how jason knew how to control his double but never told the others.
But... if the son is real, how could he be controlled? The shadows copy the actual, not vice versa. This is why red never copied adelaide.
He figured that out in the closet I'm pretty sure
@Bill Kill yeh but Jason grew up on surface therefore he wouldn't exactly be a tether since he was brought up In the surface enviroment
Dont Worry He’s still a thethered, that’s just like saying “i was born and raised in England but moved to France and therefore I’m french” that doesn’t mean you’re french, you’re still English.
Okay so both boys are born from a tethered and a surface parent so how come Pluto could be controlled but not Jason?
Its scarier now. Imagine the life of the real people having to live underground while their families go on without them
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT JASON CONTROLLING HIS DOUBLE?? jason immediately started making his double move when they first met. as if he knew what to do. and he was the only one who did this the whole time!! what’s that about??
The two being hybride because both have one real, and one tethered parent

You didn’t mention that Jason was holding a rabbit in the car at the end. Tonight’s dinner?
He kept it as pet. Be advice the kid is already weird as shit
A pet? Idk what you want me to tell you
Just a pet.
Could be a meal to him, why pet?
Pham Long because Red complained about it...seemed like it was never the meal they really wanted to eat
Why was Jason the only one who was actually able to control his other?
AimXD curiosity they both have curiosity of things around them learning
cuz he's born from a tethered, he's a hybrid
@@donteprieto41 what about the daughter ?
@@peaceofmind104 🤔 got me there bud
because jason was still a child i think most likely thats stops at a certain age
The children are half tether, so is it surprising that he picked up tether-like behavior from his mother?
no wonder why the mom and jason seemed closer than the mom and the daughter
enyuh Uh.......
There's no Tether like behaviour though. The Tether just don't have the same upbringing. Because they lack certain opportunities they didn't have ability to talk and possibly even write however they are exactly like their counterparts. So it would reason that Tether like behaviour due to being birthed shouldn't matter. This is exemplified simply by the fact that Red took Adelaide's place and assimilates into the above world. So even if you were to argue that the children are half Tether, they aren't in the same situation as those below so it wouldn't affect their speech and behaviour.
People are Saying Jason is Tether but not the daughter cause think of it Jason always wears a mask when he attacks
@@youtubefan449 But.... he was never in the underground. There aren't multiple copies of ppl in the underground, only one.
I don’t believe Jason switched spots with his Tidered*, but he inherited his mother genes.
I agree
Me too. He's part tethered.
that actually makes a lot of sense....
Yep
Ruthie Bella He might just forgot the magic trick. His other didn’t know how to do it either. It’s a great theory that he switched places too because the ‘other’ Jason face is burned off, but the surface Jason knows how to talk properly.
Real Jason controlled his tether and made him walk into the car fire. He figured out he could control him while in the closet.
Exactly. Pluto, being young, probably wasn't able to resist mimicking his counterpart fully yet.
Oh yeah...makes sense
Many of the tethered mirrored the actions of the real ppl. The roller coaster scene, every scene at the boardwalk showed that. Jason learned his shadow mirrored him in the closet. He's not tethered, but his shadow probably was trying the magic trick underground and burned himself.
Shima G that last part made sooooo much sense
Axel Janson is Jason real though, even if his mother is the clone?
I just thought at the end Jason knew something was up with his Mom, but said to himself "meh" pulling his mask down...because he knew she'd never let anything bad happen to him anyway
My tether likes binge watching Game of Thrones and eating cheesecake instead of doing things. Oh wait. That's me.
My tether also likes binge watching GOT!

Billy London there’s only one way to explain it lmao
Maybe this is why Pluto was snapping when he lit the car on fire. Maybe he was on rhythm.
no he was mimicking the magic trick that Jason had
I think the son being weird was a Subtle way of letting us know his mom was the clone.
If so, then the daughter would be weird as well, but she's not.
Exactly. I don’t get it
They wouldnt be weird because they were born in the surface with different privelages... the tethered are weird because they're born beneath the ground in tunnels, eating raw rabbit and walking into walls constantly.
But why wasnt the daughter....
I don't think this movie needs a sequel, but it could use a prequel. So many unanswered questions.
I have no issue with that whatsoever. If he’s leaving you asking questions and forming your own opinions he’s done a great job as a film maker. Not everything needs spelling out ffs.
@@MCR-M8 Never said that it did...but with ppl on this thing called the internet, wondering what a sequel could be, I'm just saying, prequel would be more interesting.
Watchu gn call the prequel? WE? Lmao
I feel like this movie was left purposely vague for the sake of more follow up films. There’s so much in this universe that could be explored.
I'd watch 'Us Too' (lol) even if I don't think it's necessary.
My first Eric voss of the day makes me feel amazing
Cool flat Earth symbol
The ones above control the ones below, not the other way around. That's why the Tethereds' lives are so horrifying.
Jason is not a tether... he is a hybrid... Jason would have had to learn how to talk in order to switch places without suspicion and he would've had to do that instantly. He's just in touch with his mother's true nature.
That means the daughter is a hybrid as well
Sequel:
Them
( It'll be about us vs the government )
"And after all, we're only ordinary men."
A prequel would be even more interesting and would answer A LOT of questions.
Yeah THEM, or if Jordan went really deep it would be T.H.E.M. standing for Tethered Humans Eliminate the Masses. Now that would be scarier than a zombie movie
@@TheBlackLodger When I read Steve's comment, I started singing Us and Them, then I read your comment.
i thought the son lowered his mask because he was scared and that was his way of saying "i'm on guard".
the twist was cool but it still had some plotholes for me.
Shy or sensitive kids definitely "hide" in this manner, makes perfect sense
Yeah that's exactly why he wears the mask. He even lowered it when he spent time with his tether in the closet.
Well that mask and that Lil boi scared the hell out of me
No its just, you don't understand everything in the movie. Peele put a lot of hidden messages. You just gotta find them
There are no plotholes that ive noticed yet
I actually like hearing the movie explained to me because it makes it less scary. I also watch the making and bloopers of movies afterwards as well because it prevents me from constantly thinking about it at night and having nightmares about it.
I think Jason and his mole person are extreme connected. That's why he seems wierd, and also why he was able to get him to back into the fire.
Jason and his tether were both half human and half tether. Thats probably why they were so odd.
@@floatinghamstick all of the kids were half human and half tethered... both of the "above ground" kids had a tethered for a mom and human for a dad, and both of the "below ground" kids had a human for a mom and a tethered for a dad.
Craig Raboteau yes but Jason could of just inherited the genes that make the tethered weird
CeeCee yes. That was my point, too
@@craigraboteau7024 I never knew this
I just don’t believe that the original son would change “that” much in one year. I understand the burns, but running around on all fours just one year after switching places seems too much.
Joshua Tice but if the lighter was left behind the whole year how could the other one burn his face
Your right, surely he acts different because hes half tether half human
traumatic experiences can do a lot in one year & when your face is burned like that & affects your face.
you gonna feel like a monster .
@@jessicabenton5215 Did you stretch before you reached for that? Im assuming you took ONE psychology class LOL
He was young and impressionable. Prolly scarred by the experience of switching
They were red jumpsuits and one glove because lupitas character as a child was given a Michael Jackson T-shirt and it’s from that.

They eat each other or their babies.

That's a dope theory..especially since this movie is loaded with 80s movie refrences..I missed that one
Pluto is the god of fire
marcusinHD he is actually named after a god in the underworld named Pluto this is why red said he was burn with fire.
Pluto is also Goofy's dog. Weird that Pluto is a dog on a leash and Goofy is a dog walking upright

Red was
@@FiNn-nk2se free red?
I’m pretty sure Red.
It was a communistic action
Yoooooooooo😅
7:40, no that makes 0 sense. Jason can't be his tether because he is the child of a tether and normal being. His tether has his face burned and cant speak.
Not necessarily. He could have been switched when he was very young and still very impressionable. Spending a few years underground eating rabbits with crazy people would probably make you run around like an animal too.
Nah Jason isn't a tether, he just has half tether genes
that's what i was thinking too. There is no logical explanation to why he would be.
Exactly and more intuned because he isnt totally brainwashed by society just yet.
and HE'S more intuned because he isnt totally brainwashed by society just yet. it's a certain age you reach before you disconnect from your innate self which holds discernment and intuition.
So it means so is Zora?
us is way creepier when it isn't explained. the movie was so intense my heart was racing for the entirety of the 120 minutes..
Same!!! I was like jumping in my seat. But personally I like the explanations because u can continue thinking about them after watching
You should totally begin the next episode with: “Hi I’m Erik Voss! Yes... definitely the real Erik Voss. No other explanation...”
this is gold
While wearing red clothes and carrying a pair of scissors
How could Jason be so human like even speech in just one year? They walk, talk, move completely differently.

@@chrisprilloisebola I think it's very significant. It emphasizes and outright confirms that the Son is in fact a Tethered.
@@birhangijam3679 lol no.
1. How come Pluto can't talk
1.5 how come Jason didn't need speech therapy since he wouldn't have known English, unless u think Red taught him only and no one else.
If thats the case then both adelaide and Red would know thats not their son
2. Why can't the rabbit be a pet? I wanted a chinchilla when I was 10
3. Red said Pluto was a pyromaniac, Pluto likes fire and has a fucked face. Jason didn't play with actual fire.
It's a shit theory mate sorry
@@chrisprilloisebola right. And how come the daughter isnt mentioned. She's half tethered aswell. I guess the son just have more of higher sense of what's going on. He's more intuned and the daughter has already adapted the ways of the world. Hell idk

Y’all talking about Jason but what about his Sister ?
What about it?
Ffs
Right. I want to know more about the sister.
Im wondering too.
_TheQueen C the kids are half tethered cuz of the mom
Another clue for the sons switching was when surface level Adelaide (the real Tether) was distraught when the red son walked into the fire and died.
@Bill Kill true
Bill Kill the theory is saying that Jason was switched before he got the scars, so he got the scars later on. Once he was already underground.
@Bill Kill the real tether was distraught when the tether daughter was dying in the tree because, duh they are both tether. There is still that connection.
I'm too scared to watch these movies but you just brighten it up.
It's not scary
I said the same so I went with someone else who was scary like me. Lol It was more creepy than scary. There weren't a lot of things that made me jump.
@kishenkoolskills90 oh god
Not scary just a good movie
The only thing that will scare you is your mind. So for me and my friend, we are both, what I would consider intellectuals, so we went home and it wasn’t scary. But when we kept thinking about it and analyzing the situation, you sincerely get lost in your mind. Like how it would be to be hunted by yourself and how that would feel and stuff. It truly scared me to look at my reflection and then have my reflection smile at me or something. It’s just such a dark feeling
"See, I told them. Now give me back my son!!" 😆😂🤣

I thought it was kinda funny how that bad dad joke was foreshadowed. “Knock knock” said the dad, “who’s there” says Zora, “you” says the dad. Lol and red zora was the one who opened the door to get into the house
Thanks Mr. M
Wow!
Chris Miller no red opened the door.
Yeah u fricken dingleberry
Zora's clone broke in through a window tho. Red and the dad clone used the door. So...??
Jason was not replaced. Here's the reason.
Red is good at ballet,
Pluto is good at fire trick,
Umbrae is good at running,
Then
Adelaide is bad at ballet,
Jason is bad at fire trick,
Zora is bad at running,
You can see both underground and surface kids inherited their respective mom's bad or good talent. We can see that Adelaide and Jason are both bad at their talent so Jason was not switch. And also, Pluto's face burned coz while Jason was always failing to light the lighter, Pluto was always successful burning his face in the process since tethered people just copy the surface people's movement.

Can we agree that it was a great horror movie for using the amazing acting and directing to create an eery, tense atmosphere rather than relying on cheap jumpscares like most movies do nowadays, It, Insidious, happy Deathday, the ritual, truth of dare
OKAY I agree with every movie you listed except IT it does not use cheep jump scares, it has some jump scares but it does not rely on them and we watched a very different movie if you think it did
Disagree. There were some stupid jump scares in this. Loud noise of truck passing by when the family arrives at their vacation home. Boy jumping out of cupboard to scare his sister in bathroom. Those were still cheap. Albeit, it stopped pretty much after the tether family arrived.
Mikolaj Grudziak its not a horror film
I saw the 1st insidious in the theater. There were grown men screaming during that movie. Sometimes cheap jump scares work.

@Angel Johnson Correcting myself, a lot of books come before Jeremiah in the Bible. It's been a while since vacation bible school.
Jason isn't a tether because he understood that the tethers just copy their human counterparts (after being in the closet with his tether) and knew that when he saw him standing in front of the car on fire, all he had to do was walk backwards and his tether would follow, walking right into the flames.
I only know this because a friend got violently mad when also he presented this theory and couldn't explain away that scene.
Steven Foster but why do you think his clone face was burned? Every other clones face was fine except Jasons’
@@xgamerchica3827 Because when the surface world Jason would practice his magic trick and fail to get the device to spark, the tethered Jason would do the same, activate his lighter, and burn himself.

Regardless of scariness, I felt like I n e e d e d the explanation. While both Get Out and Us use unique plot-lines to tell storeis with a deeper meaning, I felt the Get Out plot was more put together/concrete compared to this one. And rather than being afraid, I was curious/confused as to how this would have come to be.
Exactly. Regardless of the symbolisms. This left me down right and confused. Leaving me scratching my head.
Yea, I liked "Us" but there are a lot of plot holes
I like "US" better because it makes you think. "Get out" was good also, but the meaning was in your face.
I keep trying to like this movie, but there are way too many plot holes. I still fully support JP tho, he's becoming a pioneer in the movie game.
Without explanation (the last 20 minutes) the movie would have been a 40%. With all the explanation i give it a 90%+. I didn't understand RT's good scoring until it reached the very end.
