She was trapped by a single man with a tiny knife in a room that was almost undoubtedly full of things she could use as makeshift weapons, and all she did was stand there, scream, and get caught.
It's like they just think that sociopath=superhuman. Like he's still just a 20-something guy that doesn't look all that well built, pretty much any of them could put up a fight with him if they had a weapon.
Super Mutant Sam and Mas He obviously has Super Speed like Quicksilver or the Flash. That's how he's able to be outside a place in one costume, and then inside with a different costume by the time our retarded hero gets up the stairs
"And this was all because some girls made fun of his school project" It's actually because for literally the only time in any of their lives apparently, they acted like completely normal human beings. "Haha I tortured an animal it's funny right?" "Wtf no" "OVERLY CONVOLUTED VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE"
No they didn't, because a normal child's reaction to seeing that mutilated rat being cruelly tortured would be screaming in terror and running to tell every adult they knew about this psychopath, not slowly taking it in, looking at him like he just told a racist joke, and replying to his question nonchalantly with just a hint of disgust.
@julie martinez except that regardless of how awful of a person hitler was, his art was genuinely good. Perhaps not ground breaking, but he could have learned and improved with instruction and encouragement. This child's project was horrible and disturbing whereas Hitler painted pretty landscapes and buildings and felt he was a failure due to his rejection. Those are two very different narratives.
Im still not convinced the killed is supposed to be the same guy in all those stories. They look nothing alike, and I would not be surprised if they got different actors to play the role.
I'm wondering if this is a comedy-horror. No-one goes through life and doesn't know what a wilhelm scream is. I know what one is and I have zero interest in western movies. And some of the shit is just so ridiculous that it can't be serious. Are they trying to make jokes?
That's probably the most nonchalant reaction a 9 year old girl could have looking at a mutilated rat in a box. "It's funny, right?!" 8D - "Noo!....it isn't." >;( Most kids would flip their shit if a bee flew by them, let alone witnessing the twisted animal torture of a psychopath.
True, I always face palm when I see a movie where a normal, healthy, mentally stable child talks to a demon (Or ghost, monster, killer, etc) and doesn't flip out. Do movie directors think that every child is psychopathic? When I was a kid, and I met a demon, I would shit myself and be traumatized for the rest of my life. Even better, if I met a demon today, I would shit myself and be traumatized. It is so FUCKING stupid.
+Alien Xenomorph Nerd Omg , grow a spine. Being able to meet a demon would actually be pretty cool as long as it doesn't kill you. But that girl really should of been more angry and told a teacher.
Oh wow! We have a big boy over here! If you met a paranormal entity, without pissing yourself, then you most likely have a mental disorder. We are not talking about a guy that looks like it is in cosplay, we are talking about some fucked up shit.
+Alien Xenomorph Nerd I know . I've been studying the occult for a few years now and I would actually like to have a real encounter as long as I don't get hurt. Yes I admit I would initially be scared but I would reflect on the one in a lifetime experience and cherish it.
It's like he had all of these (in and of itself interesting) ideas, got absolutely FUCKING hammered, and while being plastered out of his mind decided that these concepts don't need no story.
They hardly made "fun" of his art project. If anything, they were grossed out and downright scared by it. So really, the "backstory" just shows that he always had these "tendencies" and explains nothing.
Fabian Engelsdorfer It feels like there were some deleted scenes that showed that they told on him and that had big consequences on his life? I don't know.
10 points in luck+the bobble head+the special book from 4+clothing that adds to luck. Also he is actually role-playing as the mysterious stranger. That explains how he teleported.
Nah, this movie obviously takes place in a universe where John Kramer never became Jigsaw and passed his all-knowing powers onto his son, our antagonist here.
a fun fact. You do not have to wait 24 hours to file a missing persons report. if your friend goes missing the morning after getting a ride home from a creepy guy at a bar. you can call the cops and say "Hey my best friend is missing and I think this creepy dude kidnaped her"
@@DystopianPigeon Exactly. Time is everything. The more time that goes by, the less likely you are to find someone. It's common sense. It's like saying you have to wait 30 days before investigating a murder.
That actress was a lead character in once were warriors, one of New Zealand's most venerated and successful films (apart from lotr I guess). She won best actress in at least 3 international film festival awards. Just look at how far she's come.
Also, another issue I have with the whole art project thing. He obviously wasn't concerned with being caught, cause it was a school art project. Meaning he would have had to turn it in to his teacher. He would have been caught regardless if the girls interfered, unless he had another non future serial killery art project to turn in. His motivation is ass backwards from every way you look at it.
The backstory might have actually worked, but they needed to build on it more. Here's a few ideas for how it could have worked. 1. The boy actually lets the girls hold his box, not realizing that they wouldn't approve of his animal torture. When they see the rat, they appropriately freak out and throw the box away from them. Doing so breaks the box and kills the rat (maybe its neck snaps, maybe a hook pierces an organ, maybe its skin tears apart more and it can't take the pain, I don't know). The boy gets furious about how they ruined his project. Maybe if you want to really drive his budding psychopathy home, have him say something like "Do you know how many rats it took before I got one that didn't die after I got it set up?" Because he has no project, he fails the assignment (not knowing he would have failed it anyway) and, maybe, because of this, his abusive step-father sends him to military/boarding school. He blames these three girls for ruining his project and thus ruining his life. Hence why he wants revenge on them. 2. The boy didn't actually do anything wrong. He's just very good with special effects and puppetry, just with a twisted sense of humor. The rat is just a puppet he made and the gore is also fake (it would both explain why it looks so fake and why there's no blood). But the girls don't know that it's not a real rat, and thus decide to tell the teacher about him torturing an animal. He gets in serious trouble for what he did, and even after he shows that it's just a puppet, everyone in the school still treats him like a psychopath. After several years of people demonizing him and treating him like a psychopath, he finally snaps and goes "Well, if they think I'm a psychopath, then I'll show them what a psychopath can do!" and goes after these girls because he holds them responsible for everyone turning against him. But the way the movie is, we're supposed to believe his whole motivation for killing these girls is just "The meanies didn't think my project was funny, so they deserve to die!" It's just not a believable or understandable motivation.
Well, I believe practical effects are a kind of special effects, specifically ones physically on-set. But yes, "practical effects" would be an applicable term in the scenario I described.
The killer obviously has an audio tape recorder with a metal mechanism designed to press the play button whenever he firmly steps on the fake floor that is actually a switch right below him. Duh!? Anyone could easily notice that.
What I love is how the premise of each story completely collapses about six different ways. But this third story really stands out, because on top of all the normal impossibilities, in order to get the shock of revealing that he's gonna sew her into a bed (?) we're shown that he's done this enough to populate every single bed on the entire floor. THIS IS A WAY BIGGER DEAL THAN TAKING REVENGE ON THREE PEOPLE! It was at this point that I knew for certain this movie was a true masterpiece of failed storytelling
Well he killed the trucker, the first boyfriend, the babysitter, and this boyfriend so he clearly doesn't care about killing people who aren't involved, so maybe he just killed a bunch of people three years ago because he knew their bodies would make cool set pieces when this girl came into the house for some reason. It wouldn't be the most unrealistic aspect of his plan
z beeblebrox I can see that they're trying to make something creative but the whole damn story of this goes off the rails the same killer somehow learned how to shapeshift forms and teleport. Like what
ALSO DID THE MAN BUY THAT ABANDONED BUILDING IN TOWN JUST TO GET THAT GIRL? LIKE HE DESIGNED AND FURNISHED THE BUILDING, BOUGHT IT WITH HIS OWN MONEY, BOUGHT A GRAMOPHONE (AND RIGGED IT WITH A KILLING DEVICE???) AND MADE A BACKSTORY TO THE PLACE THAT HE TRAPS PEOPLE THERE AND DOESN'T LET THEM LEAVE JUST TO APPREHEND ONE GIRL? And he knew that all of these events would take place? I thought the blonde sandwich girl was just apprehended by police and is still being questioned. That means the incident in the last part didn't happen all that long ago at all and he still had the time to go through with all of this? Like he created this whole plot behind this place and it wasn't even real? Like no one was real, it was all an act. The one person you'd expect to be real to add some validity to the main antagonist's psychopathy was the main antagonist in makeup? Also, how did he do all this with the time given? In the beginning, the two friends said he was new to town. How did he furnish his new place, get everything together, sew those people into beds (also does that mean he was killing random people here for fun? Like I thought his whole goal was to get the girls that made fun of him as a kid? Why would he just randomly kill people? Doesn't that invalidate his whole plan and scheme?) And he still had the time to create OC's of him being a ruthless kidnapper and also of him being one of the kidnapped. Fuck man, this film is just too genius for me too handle.
Bad writing. I guess he's just a serial killer? Then why does it matter? Is he just kills people anyway, what makes these girls so special? I mean he made that squirrel torture thing for a school project right? I have to assume he did actually turn that in. Yet his parents or the school did nothing? I know it shows he has a psych file, but why isn't he locked up? There's no way someone who did that to a squirrel, and turned it in for a school project would not be locked up for life. He's clearly worse as an adult, so I guess no one tried to help him or admit him to a mental hospital when he was a kid.
what you have witnessed is truly horrifying...but before your heads explode like that guy from Scanners, I urge you to repeat after me: IT IS ONLY A MOVIE, IT IS ONLY A MOVIE, IT IS ONLY A MOVIE, IT IS ONLY A MOVIE, IT IS ONLY A MOVIE, IT IS ONLY A MOVIE
No, this is actually a secret genius move on the part of the movie makers. Since it was the inbred weirdo who was the killer, that means there was nothing to grab the girls attention so he also anticipated needing to do that so he had a speaker downstairs make a stock sound effect. Oh wait, that's fucking stupid. Jesus Christ this movie sucks.
Me too. At the very least when he revealed who he was he could have said "I can't believe you fell for that overused stock sound effect". I mean, come the fuck on!
This is my 3rd time watching this tear down and I just realized that the kids in the flashback look grade school aged (middle school at most) yet part one says this movie starts with the line “be careful who you make fun of in High school, with what appears to be high school yearbook photos and everything. Did the production crew forget that part of the movie when they got to the flashback?
Nice catch. What gets me is the fake wound on the back of the setup he made in chap 3. That wound is duplicated on the rat he was torturing. But... neither the audience nor the kids looking through the hole in the box would be able to see it. this movie has no logic.
"And this is all because some girls made fun of his art project." ...I go to art school, so I'm probably going to get put in a bed because of the critiques I give, god damnit
CubiksRub You can tell when somebody has never worked in the art industry or even knows anything about it when they assume every single artist is in poverty.
Adum, this ain't a bad film. This is just the story of the greatest Serial Killer of all time. Every single plan of his GOES TO PERFECTION WITH NO FLAWS, HES SO SMART GUYS.
13:30 His rant about the phone reminded me of Spongebob when he was telling Squidward to get a job. Why don't I use my PHONE? You know why? Because when I have a PHONE that has a charge as well as reception, I should use the PHONE to call someone to help, or else there's no point in me showing the audience my PHONE!
So you're telling me a kid brought a live, tortured animal to a public school, and the most he got was a psychiatric examination and a slap on the wrist? Seems like something that'd land a kid in a psych ward for most of their life.
You people have far too much faith in the system. In America, he'd probably be able to buy a gun when he grew up. People don't get institutionlised because they tortured an animal as a kid.
Person Oisels He didn't just torture it. He meticulously made a contraption that showed its inner organs while keeping it alive and brought it to school as a project for everyone to see. He'd be locked away no doubt.
A judge can't just arbitrarily decide to lock him away because his type of animal torture was weird. That's not how this works. There are people out there... not like this, because this is retarded and weird and impossible, but similar, in as far as torturing animals and being psychopaths, who are perfectly free walking around now. And many of them will do no more harm than a normal person. They can't be locked away unless they've committed a crime and you can't throw a juvenile away forever unless they're charged as an adult (and even an adult wouldn't go to jail forever for torturing an animal).
I'm pretty sure he would be institutionalized. I've heard about young kids who have been sent to live in psych wards for the rest of their lives because they're psychopaths, and animal torture is one of the early signs.
Six Gun Shauna Someone wouldn't be institutionalized for life just for making some contraption to torture an animal one time, especially when they were just a kid, that doesn't make any sense. Institutionalization for children usually doesn't have to do with legal necessity, usually it's because of self injurious/dangerous behavior or the kids parents/school request them to be institutionalized. When the latter happens there's no "sentence" they have to stay there for, it's based on their recovery. No one will be institutionalized permanently in one place for life, even if they do wind up living a life of being institutionalized typically they will go to multiple institutions or try to live outside of them.
_EVERYONE I JUST MADE AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY:_ That kid playing the child version of "Lisa"....Do you recognize that face? Give it a second........ Alisha Boe. In otherwords: Jessica from 13 Reasons Why. *YMS cinematic universe (YMSCU) confirmed.*
I think out serial killer put all of his points into charisma, because: He convinces a trucker that he himself is a trucker and to take the backroads He convinces two children to not tell their aunt about him after killing their baby sitter He moves into a new town and is so charming that despite living in an abandoned building he is well known and all the girls want him He convinces a therapist that TREATED HIM AS A KID that he is an fbi agent in an underground basement Man, what a charismatic guy
Oh, here is a big logic flaw. A smart person would not have tried to kill a health inspector for they would most certintly know that offing someone who has to report back to a superior at a designated time about a specific place would bring all suspicion to them. Jesus christ, it's even a thing heist movies and games cover where killing a gaurd will cause someone to go looking if someone does nit report in
benracer don’t think he let his superiors know where he was going since he wasn’t planning to go in there as an inspector in the first place. And besides if he’s dating that idiot clearly he might not be that smart either
+KC NotQuiteHD But, aside from his omnipotence and omniscience which probably isn't canon, the killer had no way of knowing that. He flashed his badge and said he was a health inspector. As far as the killer knows, he's there to do a health inspection.
5-year old: takes a rat,cuts it open, straps it to something in a box, tortures it while it screams, shows it to little girls and laughs about it. Parent: (calmly) stop it
That "9-1-NOPE!" joke almost killed me! Seriously I laughed so hard that it triggered my asthma and I havent seen my pump for weeks. Luckily I have a spare in the bathroom. I should get a new prescription.
*gets trapped in a house, completely terrified about to die at any minute* *takes out perfectly working good phone* I'm hungry. *calls a pizza place and dies*
Angie Bee the song is Full Mouth by Neil Cicierega, and he has three albums of "smashups" (smash mouth related mashup content) and they are so goddamn beautiful
This film is so unintentionally hilarious but your editing and well written commentary adds so much. I’ve seen this review probably over ten times in the past five years and I always find new subtle things you put in here on every rewatch. Great content❤
Two people disapearing when going in the same building on different occasion and she goes in without getting help ? Damn the killer could have been carbon monoxide poisoning it would still win.
It's so fucking obvious that the FBI dude is the killer as well, they showed both too little of his face and too much. Like they obscured it so much that it's obvious that there's a reveal but they also showed too much so you're like "Oh it's Jan from Always Sunny" and no, I haven't seen this movie before, yes I will delete this comment if I'm wrong.
Return of the Living Dead had people calling for help in a realistic and logical way, only for the help to arrive and also get royally fucked up. More movies should do this. None of this "Oh, the signal's mysteriously gone" bollocks. Have them call, have help arrive, have the help get caught up in the problem with the main characters. Or, you know, just have your characters act like braindead morons for no reason...that TOTALLY works too.
Paul Dennett True. Return of the Living Dead is among those seemingly rare horror movies, where the characters' reactions to the things they experience are fairly logical. Like calling for an ambulance when the two guys, who were covered in the zombie gas, got sick, or the cops when the dead started attacking them. Heck in general the characters in that movie rarely behaved like morons. They were fucked because the situation they were in was fucked up. So I agree with you; it would be nice to see more horror movies, where the characters are screwed no matter what and not simply because they didn't leave the haunted house, call the cops cause the signal was out for contrived reasons or they were too stupid to call them in the first place, and other similarly dumb plot devices.
Paul Dennett Well, to be fair, the incompetent help cliché is also a...cliché. I mean, in a couple of horror movies, the police (or similar) can also be so bad at supplying help that it just makes the movie dumber. The prime example would be Wrong Turn; talk about an useless policeman...
tentativaX I can definitely agree with that too. Unwilling or incompetent authority figures (like the police) is a common trope in horror films. However, I think in the example of Return of the Living the authorities didn't react that incompetent though. Like the cops near the end were basically out in full force with barricades, shotguns etc. but that simply didn't work due to them not knowing how to defeat the undead. *SPOILERS FOR A 32 YEAR OLD MOVIE* Even the army's attempt to stop the undead using another well known trope: nuke and forget, only made it worse by spreading the gas via the ashes to other places. In a way that movie basically took most of the actions I recon many people in real life would resort to, if they were in a similar situation, and made them useless. That in and itself is pretty horrifying on its own: being utterly helpless even if you aren't a moron.
tentativaX If you watch Phelous' videos, you'll know that the sequels are worse. The cops are fucking useless, the inbred, chemical, mutant cannibals have become unrealistically unstoppable forces as if they were like five Prometheus' or Harvests from Cry for Justice and The Culling respectively because they're _oh-so-super-duper-ultra-maxi-extremely-awesome!_ So basically, they're like Jeff the Killer fanfics.
I mean, I think it MIGHT be possible to open its skin like that if you were able to keep it from bleeding out or dying of shock (I'm no medical expert, so I could be completely wrong), but that would require tools and knowledge that kid absolutely can NOT have.
Worst part is that he has tied the rodent up with tiny yarn limb from limb. First how did he even get a rat that isn't biting his fingers as soon at a hand comes near him. Secondly this kid is throwing the box around while the rodent is strung up like that with his guts hanging out. Lastly Why the fuck is that girls reaction so muffled from seeing that ? I would be going to a teacher as soon as i saw that shit. Fuck this honestly makes me mad.
Hi i own multiple rodents. Mouse. Hamster and chinchillas. My experience with mice is that they can resist a lot of pain. ( I don't torture them) It is normal behaviour to hide pain when they are in a group to hide they are weak. But to see a rat like that does not make any sence. How did he stop the bleeding? And why didn't it die from shock? _BUSTED_
There's always that one fucked up kid who fries ants or eats leaves because their parents don't love them. What this film fundamentally doesn't understand is that this kid is a dumbass who can't enact his fantasises of being a powerful megalomaniac.
If that's all happening just because these girls not liking his school project, how come it's that he is only taking revenge on them? Didn't at least the art teacher had to have a look at this box aswell? Shouldn't the entire fucking class become aware what for a sick twisted psycho he is? Shouldn't the school immediately call parents, police or any form of psychological officials to take this kid? Why is he still only taking revenge on these 3 Girls then when there must've been atleast 2 dozen people involved in all of this????????????
Sheepy007 not sure what you mean? Obviously the rest of the class and the teacher loved it and thought it was funny like he does. It's because these three girls didn't and it's totally reasonable. These three girls are like the gross minority, such as people that claim Batman V Superman is the greatest film ever made. It just pisses you off when you find someone so strange but when you have three at the same time... Well then you have to kill them
Maybe no one in this story's universe knows how to call the police.And the teacher and all the other kids somehow knew to fake laugh at the dying rodent. Or the teacher didn't feel like grading the projects so they just never looked and gave everyone an A.
Hi, I am the teacher in question, here to bring some clarity to the subject. Although torturing a rodent was out of taste, the mere fact that a ten-year old kid managed to keep the rat alive with its guts hanging out was somewhat impressive. What is not mentioned in the movie is that the exercise "Your future dream house" came with a small paper where the student where asked to motivate the construction. This was the body of the exercise and focus was to test the students spelling ability. As far as I remember there were no major grammatical faults in the paper so I graded it a C with a comment about how he should avoid animal abuse in future school related projects.
I just can't believe... like. It's literally so easy to fix the childhood scene! It's so fucking easy. Just have it so, like, the first girl sees it and starts crying, second girl says it's awful/gross but also says it's fake and he's a liar, last one looks at it and decides she just has to save the creature so she snatches the box and destroys it. He gets REALLY upset, maybe even angry/threatening, but the girls never tell any adults because they're little kids, they didn't think to say anything, and they were maybe too scared of the boy to go to the adults. Like. Of every single mistake in this film, this is the one that pisses me off the most. Even more than the lack of calling 911, the costume change the guy pulls off, like. Not even that babysitter running into the shed and incapacitating herself. Out of everything, this is the part that really riles me up. Like, with every other part, I can at least sort of see how an incompetent writer would make these errors while stringing together different scenes and twists they thought were scary, without any real regard for or understanding that it makes no logical sense. I can even understand the phone, maybe the writer thought it would build tension to know that help is RIGHT THERE but isn't actually reached at any point! But... this... This is the part I can't understand, and it's making me SO MAD. What was the thought process? What part of this was a scary idea badly connected to an awful whole? What part of "nobody is much bothered by a thing they all witness, they think it's a lil' weird but mostly no one cares and they go on their own merry ways without much regard for each other because they have their own interests to entertain them" was a Spooky Concept to the writer??? I want to die im so upset.I'm so upset I want to physically be dead. My soul has been forcefully shunted onto the astral plane and I'm typing this message from the Astral to say that I really fucking hate that scene it doesn't amke sense it doesn't make any gODDAMN SENSE The entire film is a contrived plothole, but imo the childhood flashback is the MOST egregious one.
12:52 she takes like a second to react lol wtf? Why is she reacting so slowly!? Also The scene with the bottles is so fucking dumb. Why were there bottles on the stairs? Why did she fall over them? That was obviously a plot device but it really didnt need to be there. It's clearly implied that he was expecting her, so why didnt they make it that he booby-trapped the place and she tripped on one of his traps alarming him that she was there. This whole tripping over the bottle thing just makes it all look so much more convenient, that she just so happened to alarm him allowing him to enact his perfect plan that could never ever work if he wasnt completley omniscient. And all of this can be avoided so easily but this is just the most contrieved piece of shit movie i've ever seen in my life
I'd argue he did use it as an alarm to where she is, as he walks outside off of the stair case where he heard the noise, and then realizing she might be in the house, he (somehow) manages to quickly change looks and get into whichever room she was going into before she went into it. There are many more better ways to go about doing this, but I feel this is what the script writers had in mind.
It's sad because this movie is loosely basing each killing on Urban Legends. Both Clown Statue and Body in the Bed are known stories that could be really creepy but this movie doesn't give them any justice.
If there is one legit compliment I can give the movie, it’s that the little kid version of the Killer was well cast. Not saying he was a phenomenal actor or anything just that he looked surprisingly a lot like the killer’s actor.
Trying to understand everything that doesn't make sense in this movie is a reality altering experience. Not just by what Adam says in the video itself, but checking the comments this part of the review could've been 30 minutes long if Adam tried to point out every single part of this chapter that made no sense. The density of failure is almost impenetrable.
listen i think it was clearly established in the film that the guy had very complicated underground passageways that could get him anywhere shorter and or could teleport
I watched this review so many times, I just notices, the little girl at around 1:18 is the actress for the role of Jessica Davis in 13 Reasons Why. (which was obviously a glorious disaster as well).
7:00 - My expectations of this film are so low, that when that scene started playing, I began questioning myself as to whether that was even Adam's editing.
You know those are some pretty fucking elaborate ass art projects...Fuck if I was a kid I'd just have a toilet tube and a spider running around in there if someone told me "Make a display in a box". Holy shit kids never put in that much effort...and how the fuck does a little boy not only know how to surgically cut open a rat, but how does the rat not bleed out or freak the fuck out? When a rat doesn't want to be held by you or you try to do something against it like that, it's going to bite the shit out of you. I am also pretty doubtful a child knows how to drug a rat. I am also doubtful a little girl or fucking anyone wouldn't scream like shit when a rat is cut open in some box. Also he made fun of their projects far worse than any of them did to his. Hell they didn't even make fun of his project, they just told him it was wrong. Every single elements of that scene is horrible and I think it's a legit contender for worst scene ever.
That whole rat part just confuses me, lets disect this: by the time he had brought the rat to school and showed the rat to the girls it would of bled to death. But to be generous lets say he found it right before showing the girls, by the time he had look at all of their work the rat would of passed out from blood loss, and wouldnt be squeaking. Rats have artery's just like humans and some are in the torso. *This movie is dumb*
ThomasHeadly Man shit like this has to account for at least half the times people get these 'mixed up'. If you loudly announce that something pisses you off that much you are basically guaranteeing someone will abuse that.
She was trapped by a single man with a tiny knife in a room that was almost undoubtedly full of things she could use as makeshift weapons, and all she did was stand there, scream, and get caught.
But the guy made a real spoopy face and laughed at hear real spooky like. How do you fight THAT?
It's like they just think that sociopath=superhuman.
Like he's still just a 20-something guy that doesn't look all that well built, pretty much any of them could put up a fight with him if they had a weapon.
Super Mutant Sam and Mas
He obviously has Super Speed like Quicksilver or the Flash.
That's how he's able to be outside a place in one costume, and then inside with a different costume by the time our retarded hero gets up the stairs
Guys I'm pretty sure Luke is talking about the black girl not the blonde one
This is the same girl who had a working cell phone and refused to call law enforcement and instead called her boyfriend.
"And this was all because some girls made fun of his school project"
It's actually because for literally the only time in any of their lives apparently, they acted like completely normal human beings.
"Haha I tortured an animal it's funny right?"
"Wtf no"
"OVERLY CONVOLUTED VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE"
Well not exactly. If anyone saw a tortured animal they would be screaming their heads off.
Mitchell Dale gotta love the fact he also made fun of their projects
No they didn't, because a normal child's reaction to seeing that mutilated rat being cruelly tortured would be screaming in terror and running to tell every adult they knew about this psychopath, not slowly taking it in, looking at him like he just told a racist joke, and replying to his question nonchalantly with just a hint of disgust.
It would have made a little more sense if it was his dick in the box. You know, many people are sensitive with that stuff.
@julie martinez except that regardless of how awful of a person hitler was, his art was genuinely good. Perhaps not ground breaking, but he could have learned and improved with instruction and encouragement. This child's project was horrible and disturbing whereas Hitler painted pretty landscapes and buildings and felt he was a failure due to his rejection. Those are two very different narratives.
I don't get how the girls all look around teenager/early 20's age but the killer looks like a full grown adult if he was the same age as them
Noot Noot tis but a disguise
Noot Noot Here’s a like for your name and profile pic. 👍
Noot Noot the girl who plays Tabitha is actually older then him lol.
Bad Genetics.. probably explains why the killer is so fucked in the head too
Im still not convinced the killed is supposed to be the same guy in all those stories. They look nothing alike, and I would not be surprised if they got different actors to play the role.
The Wilhelm scream fucking killed me.
I cannot believe they unironically put that in their horror movie.
I'm wondering if this is a comedy-horror. No-one goes through life and doesn't know what a wilhelm scream is. I know what one is and I have zero interest in western movies. And some of the shit is just so ridiculous that it can't be serious. Are they trying to make jokes?

Most kids would flip their shit if a bee flew by them, let alone witnessing the twisted animal torture of a psychopath.
True, I always face palm when I see a movie where a normal, healthy, mentally stable child talks to a demon (Or ghost, monster, killer, etc) and doesn't flip out. Do movie directors think that every child is psychopathic? When I was a kid, and I met a demon, I would shit myself and be traumatized for the rest of my life. Even better, if I met a demon today, I would shit myself and be traumatized. It is so FUCKING stupid.
+Alien Xenomorph Nerd Omg , grow a spine. Being able to meet a demon would actually be pretty cool as long as it doesn't kill you. But that girl really should of been more angry and told a teacher.
Oh wow! We have a big boy over here! If you met a paranormal entity, without pissing yourself, then you most likely have a mental disorder. We are not talking about a guy that looks like it is in cosplay, we are talking about some fucked up shit.
+Alien Xenomorph Nerd I know . I've been studying the occult for a few years now and I would actually like to have a real encounter as long as I don't get hurt. Yes I admit I would initially be scared but I would reflect on the one in a lifetime experience and cherish it.

It feels like the "writer" only had all these cool ideas for shocking reveals and visuals, but no clue on how to connect them (or write a story).
Julien Gravier so Rian Johnson?
@Brigitta Freya Rian Johnson confimed.
It's like he had all of these (in and of itself interesting) ideas, got absolutely FUCKING hammered, and while being plastered out of his mind decided that these concepts don't need no story.
They hardly made "fun" of his art project. If anything, they were grossed out and downright scared by it.
So really, the "backstory" just shows that he always had these "tendencies" and explains nothing.
Fabian Engelsdorfer It feels like there were some deleted scenes that showed that they told on him and that had big consequences on his life? I don't know.

Also, another issue I have with the whole art project thing. He obviously wasn't concerned with being caught, cause it was a school art project. Meaning he would have had to turn it in to his teacher. He would have been caught regardless if the girls interfered, unless he had another non future serial killery art project to turn in. His motivation is ass backwards from every way you look at it.
Imagine being an art teacher and for show and tell some kid brings in a mutilated rat in a box
@@gregjayonnaise8314 I mean it’s creative…
The backstory might have actually worked, but they needed to build on it more. Here's a few ideas for how it could have worked.
1. The boy actually lets the girls hold his box, not realizing that they wouldn't approve of his animal torture. When they see the rat, they appropriately freak out and throw the box away from them. Doing so breaks the box and kills the rat (maybe its neck snaps, maybe a hook pierces an organ, maybe its skin tears apart more and it can't take the pain, I don't know). The boy gets furious about how they ruined his project. Maybe if you want to really drive his budding psychopathy home, have him say something like "Do you know how many rats it took before I got one that didn't die after I got it set up?" Because he has no project, he fails the assignment (not knowing he would have failed it anyway) and, maybe, because of this, his abusive step-father sends him to military/boarding school. He blames these three girls for ruining his project and thus ruining his life. Hence why he wants revenge on them.
2. The boy didn't actually do anything wrong. He's just very good with special effects and puppetry, just with a twisted sense of humor. The rat is just a puppet he made and the gore is also fake (it would both explain why it looks so fake and why there's no blood). But the girls don't know that it's not a real rat, and thus decide to tell the teacher about him torturing an animal. He gets in serious trouble for what he did, and even after he shows that it's just a puppet, everyone in the school still treats him like a psychopath. After several years of people demonizing him and treating him like a psychopath, he finally snaps and goes "Well, if they think I'm a psychopath, then I'll show them what a psychopath can do!" and goes after these girls because he holds them responsible for everyone turning against him.
But the way the movie is, we're supposed to believe his whole motivation for killing these girls is just "The meanies didn't think my project was funny, so they deserve to die!" It's just not a believable or understandable motivation.
Well, I believe practical effects are a kind of special effects, specifically ones physically on-set. But yes, "practical effects" would be an applicable term in the scenario I described.
You should make a movie
2 is actually pretty good
Or you realize this setup as a scene was never plausibly convincing to begin with. The best option would've been to just not create this scene.
That sound's 10x better than what the Lazy writers came up with.
I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE WILHELM WAS YOU TROLLING HOLY HECK THIS FILM
The killer obviously has an audio tape recorder with a metal mechanism designed to press the play button whenever he firmly steps on the fake floor that is actually a switch right below him. Duh!? Anyone could easily notice that.
What I love is how the premise of each story completely collapses about six different ways. But this third story really stands out, because on top of all the normal impossibilities, in order to get the shock of revealing that he's gonna sew her into a bed (?) we're shown that he's done this enough to populate every single bed on the entire floor. THIS IS A WAY BIGGER DEAL THAN TAKING REVENGE ON THREE PEOPLE! It was at this point that I knew for certain this movie was a true masterpiece of failed storytelling
To be fair the only living mattress person was her friend, the others could have been props or something. He is a master of arts and crafts after all.
Not funny
Im inclined to agree, as the stink from the corpses would have been overwhelming, not that the film makers would think of that.
Well he killed the trucker, the first boyfriend, the babysitter, and this boyfriend so he clearly doesn't care about killing people who aren't involved, so maybe he just killed a bunch of people three years ago because he knew their bodies would make cool set pieces when this girl came into the house for some reason. It wouldn't be the most unrealistic aspect of his plan
z beeblebrox I can see that they're trying to make something creative but the whole damn story of this goes off the rails the same killer somehow learned how to shapeshift forms and teleport. Like what

ALSO DID THE MAN BUY THAT ABANDONED BUILDING IN TOWN JUST TO GET THAT GIRL? LIKE HE DESIGNED AND FURNISHED THE BUILDING, BOUGHT IT WITH HIS OWN MONEY, BOUGHT A GRAMOPHONE (AND RIGGED IT WITH A KILLING DEVICE???) AND MADE A BACKSTORY TO THE PLACE THAT HE TRAPS PEOPLE THERE AND DOESN'T LET THEM LEAVE JUST TO APPREHEND ONE GIRL? And he knew that all of these events would take place? I thought the blonde sandwich girl was just apprehended by police and is still being questioned. That means the incident in the last part didn't happen all that long ago at all and he still had the time to go through with all of this? Like he created this whole plot behind this place and it wasn't even real? Like no one was real, it was all an act. The one person you'd expect to be real to add some validity to the main antagonist's psychopathy was the main antagonist in makeup? Also, how did he do all this with the time given? In the beginning, the two friends said he was new to town. How did he furnish his new place, get everything together, sew those people into beds (also does that mean he was killing random people here for fun? Like I thought his whole goal was to get the girls that made fun of him as a kid? Why would he just randomly kill people? Doesn't that invalidate his whole plan and scheme?) And he still had the time to create OC's of him being a ruthless kidnapper and also of him being one of the kidnapped. Fuck man, this film is just too genius for me too handle.
It's like Jigsaw 2.0
Bad writing. I guess he's just a serial killer? Then why does it matter? Is he just kills people anyway, what makes these girls so special? I mean he made that squirrel torture thing for a school project right? I have to assume he did actually turn that in. Yet his parents or the school did nothing? I know it shows he has a psych file, but why isn't he locked up?
There's no way someone who did that to a squirrel, and turned it in for a school project would not be locked up for life. He's clearly worse as an adult, so I guess no one tried to help him or admit him to a mental hospital when he was a kid.

SpectacularName So did I... Who the fuck puts a wilhelm and expect to be taken seriously
No, this is actually a secret genius move on the part of the movie makers. Since it was the inbred weirdo who was the killer, that means there was nothing to grab the girls attention so he also anticipated needing to do that so he had a speaker downstairs make a stock sound effect. Oh wait, that's fucking stupid. Jesus Christ this movie sucks.
It's all for your amusement.
Me too. At the very least when he revealed who he was he could have said "I can't believe you fell for that overused stock sound effect". I mean, come the fuck on!
This is my 3rd time watching this tear down and I just realized that the kids in the flashback look grade school aged (middle school at most) yet part one says this movie starts with the line “be careful who you make fun of in High school, with what appears to be high school yearbook photos and everything. Did the production crew forget that part of the movie when they got to the flashback?
Nice catch. What gets me is the fake wound on the back of the setup he made in chap 3. That wound is duplicated on the rat he was torturing. But... neither the audience nor the kids looking through the hole in the box would be able to see it. this movie has no logic.
To be fair, I looked about 6 years old in high school
Not even middle school. Like 5th grade.

So you're telling me a kid brought a live, tortured animal to a public school, and the most he got was a psychiatric examination and a slap on the wrist? Seems like something that'd land a kid in a psych ward for most of their life.
You people have far too much faith in the system. In America, he'd probably be able to buy a gun when he grew up. People don't get institutionlised because they tortured an animal as a kid.
Person Oisels
He didn't just torture it. He meticulously made a contraption that showed its inner organs while keeping it alive and brought it to school as a project for everyone to see. He'd be locked away no doubt.
A judge can't just arbitrarily decide to lock him away because his type of animal torture was weird. That's not how this works. There are people out there... not like this, because this is retarded and weird and impossible, but similar, in as far as torturing animals and being psychopaths, who are perfectly free walking around now. And many of them will do no more harm than a normal person. They can't be locked away unless they've committed a crime and you can't throw a juvenile away forever unless they're charged as an adult (and even an adult wouldn't go to jail forever for torturing an animal).
I'm pretty sure he would be institutionalized. I've heard about young kids who have been sent to live in psych wards for the rest of their lives because they're psychopaths, and animal torture is one of the early signs.
Six Gun Shauna Someone wouldn't be institutionalized for life just for making some contraption to torture an animal one time, especially when they were just a kid, that doesn't make any sense. Institutionalization for children usually doesn't have to do with legal necessity, usually it's because of self injurious/dangerous behavior or the kids parents/school request them to be institutionalized. When the latter happens there's no "sentence" they have to stay there for, it's based on their recovery. No one will be institutionalized permanently in one place for life, even if they do wind up living a life of being institutionalized typically they will go to multiple institutions or try to live outside of them.

He convinces a trucker that he himself is a trucker and to take the backroads
He convinces two children to not tell their aunt about him after killing their baby sitter

He convinces a therapist that TREATED HIM AS A KID that he is an fbi agent in an underground basement

Return of the Living Dead had people calling for help in a realistic and logical way, only for the help to arrive and also get royally fucked up. More movies should do this. None of this "Oh, the signal's mysteriously gone" bollocks. Have them call, have help arrive, have the help get caught up in the problem with the main characters.
Or, you know, just have your characters act like braindead morons for no reason...that TOTALLY works too.
Paul Dennett True. Return of the Living Dead is among those seemingly rare horror movies, where the characters' reactions to the things they experience are fairly logical. Like calling for an ambulance when the two guys, who were covered in the zombie gas, got sick, or the cops when the dead started attacking them.
Heck in general the characters in that movie rarely behaved like morons. They were fucked because the situation they were in was fucked up. So I agree with you; it would be nice to see more horror movies, where the characters are screwed no matter what and not simply because they didn't leave the haunted house, call the cops cause the signal was out for contrived reasons or they were too stupid to call them in the first place, and other similarly dumb plot devices.
Paul Dennett Well, to be fair, the incompetent help cliché is also a...cliché. I mean, in a couple of horror movies, the police (or similar) can also be so bad at supplying help that it just makes the movie dumber. The prime example would be Wrong Turn; talk about an useless policeman...
tentativaX I can definitely agree with that too. Unwilling or incompetent authority figures (like the police) is a common trope in horror films.
However, I think in the example of Return of the Living the authorities didn't react that incompetent though. Like the cops near the end were basically out in full force with barricades, shotguns etc. but that simply didn't work due to them not knowing how to defeat the undead.
*SPOILERS FOR A 32 YEAR OLD MOVIE*
Even the army's attempt to stop the undead using another well known trope: nuke and forget, only made it worse by spreading the gas via the ashes to other places.
In a way that movie basically took most of the actions I recon many people in real life would resort to, if they were in a similar situation, and made them useless.
That in and itself is pretty horrifying on its own: being utterly helpless even if you aren't a moron.
tentativaX If you watch Phelous' videos, you'll know that the sequels are worse. The cops are fucking useless, the inbred, chemical, mutant cannibals have become unrealistically unstoppable forces as if they were like five Prometheus' or Harvests from Cry for Justice and The Culling respectively because they're _oh-so-super-duper-ultra-maxi-extremely-awesome!_ So basically, they're like Jeff the Killer fanfics.

The fuck how is that rodent still alive ? How does a kid have the ability to do that ? That shit is so fucked and it doesn't even make sense.
Congratulations, you've already put more thought into the idea than any of the producers
I mean, I think it MIGHT be possible to open its skin like that if you were able to keep it from bleeding out or dying of shock (I'm no medical expert, so I could be completely wrong), but that would require tools and knowledge that kid absolutely can NOT have.
Worst part is that he has tied the rodent up with tiny yarn limb from limb. First how did he even get a rat that isn't biting his fingers as soon at a hand comes near him. Secondly this kid is throwing the box around while the rodent is strung up like that with his guts hanging out. Lastly Why the fuck is that girls reaction so muffled from seeing that ? I would be going to a teacher as soon as i saw that shit. Fuck this honestly makes me mad.
Hi i own multiple rodents. Mouse. Hamster and chinchillas. My experience with mice is that they can resist a lot of pain. ( I don't torture them) It is normal behaviour to hide pain when they are in a group to hide they are weak. But to see a rat like that does not make any sence. How did he stop the bleeding? And why didn't it die from shock?

Sheepy007 not sure what you mean? Obviously the rest of the class and the teacher loved it and thought it was funny like he does. It's because these three girls didn't and it's totally reasonable. These three girls are like the gross minority, such as people that claim Batman V Superman is the greatest film ever made. It just pisses you off when you find someone so strange but when you have three at the same time... Well then you have to kill them
But only kill them a decade later...
Maybe no one in this story's universe knows how to call the police.And the teacher and all the other kids somehow knew to fake laugh at the dying rodent.
Or the teacher didn't feel like grading the projects so they just never looked and gave everyone an A.
Hi, I am the teacher in question, here to bring some clarity to the subject.
Although torturing a rodent was out of taste, the mere fact that a ten-year old kid managed to keep the rat alive with its guts hanging out was somewhat impressive.
What is not mentioned in the movie is that the exercise "Your future dream house" came with a small paper where the student where asked to motivate the construction. This was the body of the exercise and focus was to test the students spelling ability.
As far as I remember there were no major grammatical faults in the paper so I graded it a C with a comment about how he should avoid animal abuse in future school related projects.
he killed all of those other people too. didn't you see the beds?
"You're drunk, ms Swan."
"Yeah, and you're celibate". BURN, one of the writers said. That's a big, fat burn right there!
Don’t make me laugh while I’m *applying*
Oh boy, Adam uploaded! Today is going to be a good day!
Hed like to come and meet us

Very good dat is happening
I know right. I've been waiting for part two!~
He's just recording a Nine Inch Nails video, that rodent is under strict contract
I just can't believe... like. It's literally so easy to fix the childhood scene! It's so fucking easy. Just have it so, like, the first girl sees it and starts crying, second girl says it's awful/gross but also says it's fake and he's a liar, last one looks at it and decides she just has to save the creature so she snatches the box and destroys it. He gets REALLY upset, maybe even angry/threatening, but the girls never tell any adults because they're little kids, they didn't think to say anything, and they were maybe too scared of the boy to go to the adults.
Like. Of every single mistake in this film, this is the one that pisses me off the most. Even more than the lack of calling 911, the costume change the guy pulls off, like. Not even that babysitter running into the shed and incapacitating herself. Out of everything, this is the part that really riles me up. Like, with every other part, I can at least sort of see how an incompetent writer would make these errors while stringing together different scenes and twists they thought were scary, without any real regard for or understanding that it makes no logical sense. I can even understand the phone, maybe the writer thought it would build tension to know that help is RIGHT THERE but isn't actually reached at any point! But... this...
This is the part I can't understand, and it's making me SO MAD. What was the thought process? What part of this was a scary idea badly connected to an awful whole? What part of "nobody is much bothered by a thing they all witness, they think it's a lil' weird but mostly no one cares and they go on their own merry ways without much regard for each other because they have their own interests to entertain them" was a Spooky Concept to the writer??? I want to die im so upset.I'm so upset I want to physically be dead. My soul has been forcefully shunted onto the astral plane and I'm typing this message from the Astral to say that I really fucking hate that scene it doesn't amke sense it doesn't make any gODDAMN SENSE
The entire film is a contrived plothole, but imo the childhood flashback is the MOST egregious one.
Best comment on the web
im just commenting so that you see this comment notification, and are forced to look at this video again, to be reminded of how horrible it all is. :)
bloke wrote a whole novel in the comments 😂
I thought you edited that Wilhelm Scream, but that was legit and unironic? Holy fck..
fuck*
12:52 she takes like a second to react lol wtf? Why is she reacting so slowly!? Also The scene with the bottles is so fucking dumb. Why were there bottles on the stairs? Why did she fall over them? That was obviously a plot device but it really didnt need to be there. It's clearly implied that he was expecting her, so why didnt they make it that he booby-trapped the place and she tripped on one of his traps alarming him that she was there. This whole tripping over the bottle thing just makes it all look so much more convenient, that she just so happened to alarm him allowing him to enact his perfect plan that could never ever work if he wasnt completley omniscient. And all of this can be avoided so easily but this is just the most contrieved piece of shit movie i've ever seen in my life
That's too much effort m8
don't you get it? the bottles WERE the booby traps!
I literally would have never thought of it if it wasn't for this comment. "why are there bottles? why isn't there anything to alarm him?" heh
Of course! He knew all of the girls are such klutzes she just HAD to trip over them
I'd argue he did use it as an alarm to where she is, as he walks outside off of the stair case where he heard the noise, and then realizing she might be in the house, he (somehow) manages to quickly change looks and get into whichever room she was going into before she went into it. There are many more better ways to go about doing this, but I feel this is what the script writers had in mind.
5 bucks says that the director read Junji Ito's story "Human Chair" and went 'oh! i can do that, i'll just do it with beds!'
It's more similar to a thing in the movie seven
Actually “body in the bed” is a pretty popular urban legend
OMG the girl that plays Lisa is on "Gotham" now playing a villain...she's...matured lol
Yes! Kinda ironic that another chick in the movie was named Tabitha
Tabitha's actress is also canadian...*FACT!*
"You like my project?" "No" Triggered for life
Sebas7710 the government owns you tho
It's sad because this movie is loosely basing each killing on Urban Legends. Both Clown Statue and Body in the Bed are known stories that could be really creepy but this movie doesn't give them any justice.
The first Urban Legends movie was awesome.
Fellas 👏 take note and touch your girl's lips like👏in👏this👏movie!!
Get you a man that can touch your lips like that.
Okay👏👏👏
That was offensive. Deaf people don't fingerfuck people's mouths to communicate.
@@dirrdevil who said anything about communicating 😏
THE 7:00 MIXUP IS EPIC
Full Mouth - Neil Cicierega
If there is one legit compliment I can give the movie, it’s that the little kid version of the Killer was well cast. Not saying he was a phenomenal actor or anything just that he looked surprisingly a lot like the killer’s actor.
11:32 What a powerful scene. Literal tears ran down my face of both joy and sadness
Is it Christmas 2025 already?!
Sahantara ye
I guess.
8:47
That’s a good Harry Potter theme music box, though...
Trying to understand everything that doesn't make sense in this movie is a reality altering experience. Not just by what Adam says in the video itself, but checking the comments this part of the review could've been 30 minutes long if Adam tried to point out every single part of this chapter that made no sense. The density of failure is almost impenetrable.
listen i think it was clearly established in the film that the guy had very complicated underground passageways that could get him anywhere shorter
and or could teleport
I know he is count olaf
I watched this review so many times, I just notices, the little girl at around 1:18 is the actress for the role of Jessica Davis in 13 Reasons Why. (which was obviously a glorious disaster as well).
So she’s the Asian guy from 13 Reasons Why?!
@@galleryofrogues and the murderer was also the Asian guy from 13 reasons why
It's been 84 years...
babehunter1324 worth it
lol, 84 likes
I seriously thought the Wilhelm scream was added as a joke by Adam.
Same here
That would be too easy.
1:35
Main character: ew there's a weird small deformed snake in there
The killer: yeah there is- oh :(
7:00 - My expectations of this film are so low, that when that scene started playing, I began questioning myself as to whether that was even Adam's editing.
That's some Roger from American Dad bullshit.
I will forever be scarred of the poor rat being tortured, thank you
7:35 Her boyfriend to me looks like whatshisname from American Werewolf in London.
YES that's the guy.
Thanks for saving me a google search
*_LIP FLAPPING INTENSIFIES_*
I come back each year for the magnificent edits
"An Australian trying to do a southern accent" Yep, basically a kiwi in a nutshell.
A horror film that uses the fucking wilhelm scream for a jumpscare. What a world we live in.
The destiny child song took me out LMAOOOOO in dead 💀😂🤣
You know those are some pretty fucking elaborate ass art projects...Fuck if I was a kid I'd just have a toilet tube and a spider running around in there if someone told me "Make a display in a box". Holy shit kids never put in that much effort...and how the fuck does a little boy not only know how to surgically cut open a rat, but how does the rat not bleed out or freak the fuck out? When a rat doesn't want to be held by you or you try to do something against it like that, it's going to bite the shit out of you. I am also pretty doubtful a child knows how to drug a rat. I am also doubtful a little girl or fucking anyone wouldn't scream like shit when a rat is cut open in some box. Also he made fun of their projects far worse than any of them did to his. Hell they didn't even make fun of his project, they just told him it was wrong. Every single elements of that scene is horrible and I think it's a legit contender for worst scene ever.
Well, that Full House Smash Mouth mash up is gonna get filed under Crimes Against Humanity.
Schwarzwald are ye guilty
A username chooses its dominus.
「Cast in the name of God, ye not Guilty」
How dare you call Neil Cicirega a crime against humanity
Full mouth
Your sense of humor obviously just isn't sophisticated enough.
That whole rat part just confuses me, lets disect this:
by the time he had brought the rat to school and showed the rat to the girls it would of bled to death.
But to be generous lets say he found it right before showing the girls, by the time he had look at all of their work the rat would of passed out from blood loss, and wouldnt be squeaking. Rats have artery's just like humans and some are in the torso.
*This movie is dumb*
Not to mention the girl would have looked shocked instead of just mildly annoyed.
Never call a Kiwi an Aussie. *Ever.*
