I love this movie, saw it in theaters back in 2015. My solution was to fly to a far away country, sleep with a prostitute, then fly all the way back. I gambled the It would not be able to book a flight to the right country and so would have to walk across the surface of the ocean to get to the prostitute who would have slept with a bunch of dudes in the meantime from all over the world probably so it could be decades before the It gets back to me.
That's why it's such a problem, your plan could realistically work BUT no matter what you will always be on edge. Because you know maybe tomorrow, next week, next month or next year it's possible for it to find you. And even more terrifying is if you forget after years and move on only to have it kill you when you least suspect!

My mind went off on a weird train. What if you got a lot of guards for your castle/ heavy fortified house and slept with them all. And then everyone kept watch all the time cause everyone knew what it looked like and so it could never get in.

0:37 It is standing on the roof, because of the window that leads directly into her room. There was a shot earlier in the movie about the window, which would make you think it was a filler shot, until this scene came.
Good reminder of how smart it is, given Jay would have boxed herself in from the door. It is willing to change up the strategy, which raises so many questions on why it only walks anyways...
We only see it walking. Maybe of you fly away somewhere it would also board the other plane to same place. It seems that it wants you to be afraid. It could have grabbed the girl by the neck and kill her but it grabbed her hair. It wanted her to know that it caught up with her and that it has her
Equipment: - 5-6 metal boxes in increasing size - rope (ca 3m) - welding equipment - motion sensor alarm - lotsa guns Drive into the middle of the desert. Wait for it (alarm to not get caught sleeping). Shoot to stun. Tie it up with rope. Put it in the first box, weld it shut, repeat with larger boxes. Bury the thing in the desert (this way the boxes won't rust and it won't get dug up accidentally). Happy ever after.
I liked the quick cement idea a lot. Get a group of friends to dig the hole while you’re running then meet up and get them to shoot it in without making directly contact, and hope it falls in. Then cement the thing and it’s pretty much trapped forever.
I believe the Director has already stated that the entity is able to get to you anywhere (space, deepest trench under the ocean inside a submarine and impenetrable rooms etc). Its also suggested that the entity is able to level the playing field should the target try to impede it in anyway, eg trap or kill it. So if you could trap it inside a coffin made out of the toughest manmade material, it would either destroy the coffin or simply pass through it. Which suggests that it acts how a human would act when walking, like using bricks to break into houses or will use its power to escape traps or whatnot.
seems like a cop out by the director of it is true since in the movie it had to break the doors multiple times and couldn't just phase thru solid opaque objects
@@roxannewolfproductions8556 Here's the problem, 1: I made this comment over 2 years ago, so I've forgotten where I seen it. 2: You can't post links on UA-cam including other UA-cam videos without being authorized by the uploader. 3: Why don't you try and Google it? Try "director reveals how the monster from It Follows works".
I wonder what would happen if you managed to get the monster in like a woodchipper or something; we know that while immortal, the monster still has the bodily composition of a normal human (based on when it was shot in the head), so what would happen in that scenario, especially if the body was chopped up to the point of being mush? Would it be killed? Would it regenerate? Or would it result in a Tomie-like situation?
That'll never work - It doesn't care about your consent. If it's after you, it'll kill you if it gets too close. It doesn't listen to reason and doesn't feel fear as it's completely single-minded in the pursuit of it's targets.
My idea was just getting a boat and heading out directly past the Marianas trench then shooting it then slam a hook into its back and toss an anchor overboard so that the current would make it impossible for it to come back up even after getting unhooked.
@@potatolord7970 of course but I don't think he's able to get a boat bigger than a boat that could be used for 3 people I mean, it's not like he could have access to military boats which are trained to fight currents/ström.
Problem: all the rules were canonically guess: what characters were able to piece together. There is no way to know if it can simply board a plane or teleport if you get out of a range, and while we never see it do anything too above the range of a human, it still can become any human ever, and quite possibly any being. For as much as we know about it, it could get on a plane and follow you, and when you shoot it and try to bury it in cement, it becomes the Rock on steroids and breaks out.
In addition, it obviously has some telepathy of some sort, as it always knows where it's victims are, and can turn into people relevant to the person, at the right moment (such as the MC's dad) The spray paint plan seems like it'll work the best, but for all we know for sure, it could start fucking sprinting & busting down walls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is outright shown to be thwarted by physical obstacles tho. It can't always smash through doors or walls, for instance. It can take damage and can be stunned. It is abnormally strong but not too much past human. As far as I recall the best feat of strength it has is smacking a guy off his feet and breaking a pretty shabby door. Beyond what most humans could do but not incomprehensible.
@@alertedcoyote7892 it is onky thwarted by physical obstacles if there is another path to it's victim, if you hide the target inside a room that has 10m thick metal with no doors or windows, it would destroy it and make a hole or tear it like paper. it only has one weekness, it's slow. that's it!
What kind of a job do these zombies hold? Meaning - if you fly away to another place to escape it, how does it get the money to buy the plane ticket to board a plane to fly to your location to get you? What do zombies make per year? How can they afford a plane ticket at current prices? So many questions.
Few issues, that I know others have said, but still. 1. It most definitely has superhuman strength; maybe not enough to bust through or out of solid concrete, but it could probably bend prison bars to escape. It’s shown tossing people around like ragdolls and twisting someone into a pretzel (I think) so it could definitely bust down a wooden door if it had to. 2. As you said, the demon does have rudimentary intelligence, and from what we’ve seen I think that intelligence can somewhat scale to the complexity that it would take to reach their target. I wouldn’t take it as totally out of the question for it to wander onto a cargo ship in order to reach your destination quicker. What I would do in that situation if I chose the whole overseas route is to definitely stay vigilant for the first and last few months. If it manages to reach you sooner than should be possible by a human at a walking pace, then you’d definitely be able to figure out that it has some more tricks up it’s sleeve that it probably only utilizes when it absolutely has to.
yea not me. im gonna shoot a dozen airtags into his scunt, douzing it with paint and calling the police simultaneously. then I'm slapping that bugger in area 51 asap.
I like to think of what you did, @@FilmHerald, to be basic human decency. Far too many UA-camrs for the last year or so now have been pretending up to alot of their older videos are brand new ones when they have had to reupload their said video(s) due to copyright BS. So thank you, Film Herald, for not BSing us. As for that The Lobster movie, dude, I have never heard of that movie before watching the original cut of this video and this new cut of this video too.
"The monster is only as strong as a regular human." I don't know many regular humans who can shrug off getting whacked with a folding chair without flinching, and then fucking YEET a 100+ pound man clear off screen with a single strike.
Gonna make a parody where the monster catches the protagonist girl at the end, and proceeds to give her back her wallet he's been trying to return for days and weeks now
Make the creature follow you and just go to a public place like the mall with buckets of paint and call the authorities. Start getting everyone's attention and tell them that there's something following you, at first they'd think you're crazy but show them by throwing paint on the creatures face. A floating head should be enough to persuade them that you'd on to something. The police would probably try to investigate the floating head and would be supernaturally killed. This event should draw enough attention that you'd probably be safe for life, under some government protection or something, as they study and contain the creature. Basically scp shit
I don't think the monster's abilities are as concrete as you're making it to be. For example, considering the protagonists constantly drive a car to go around, and the monster seems to always be just not that far behind them despite only being on foot, it might be the case that the monster can teleport when it's not being directly observed. So, going to another continent might be useless. And the monster seems to only attack when its victim is conscious, not while asleep. Maybe the monster also wants to "marinate its victims in fear," Pennywise-style.
This is one of my favorite films ever and whenever a video like this pops up I always watch it regardless all of the times I have seen similar ones before
It's definitely waaaaaay stronger than a person. You saw the intro right? No one is mangled by bare hands like that. I'd say at minimum, it's as strong as a person. Also, it launches the kid away with the chair on the beach.
I think the most foolproof way of stopping it is to trap it in some type of contraption that shoots or stabs it every couple of minutes indefinitely. It is shown in the movie that you can briefly stun it. What if you are able to permanently stun it over and over again so that it will never get anywhere?
The trick after spray painting it, is to place the intended victim just ahead of it, having placed it unconscious onto a treadmill. Hey presto, unlimited power.
If any of these ideas were put into the movie, the director would give it an attribute to solve it (maybe it starts phasing into other bodies like the matrix or breaks down it's properties into atoms and reforms elsewhere, just adapts, etc). The point is that it is unstoppable and you're never safe. Not fun for our thought experiment but yeah
I never really liked the final strategy they decided on in the film - i.e. sleeping with a prostitute to pass the curse on as far as possible. With this method you would still have to live in constant fear that every knock on your door could mean death. You have no way of knowing for sure that the monster hasn't got back to you - maybe that prostitute took a holiday shortly after sleeping with you, or for some other reason the curse didn't get very far. I would prefer a more permanent solution personally, one where you can be sure that it will *NEVER* come back to you. However, we don't really know what this thing's limitations are. For example, could you keep it suspended in acid like SCP-682 rendering it immobile as it's muscles are constantly dissolved by the acid? Can it dig, swim, climb, even fly? Can it break through walls, doors, metal? If it only had the strength of a human, and no special abilities we don't know about, it would actually be fairly easy to contain. Like someone else said, a metal box buried in the desert - job done. Or just to be sure, throw the box down the Mariana Trench - unless it's got some super powers like SCP-096 in which case it will never stop coming and you're screwed no matter what. We also don't know what happens when everyone it's ever pursued is dead. Does it just pick a new person at random, or does it disguise itself so that someone has sex with it? If it pursued your parent(s), will it pursue you if they died of natural causes before it could reach them?
you forgot one detail: At the beginning of the movie it has demonstrated the ability to teleport. So locking it up and travelling will not help. There's also the fact that it can turn into someone else, bypassing infiltration and presumably removing the paint. You're gonna have to go to UCF...or sleep with my ex-roommate, whichever comes first.
Worst part is that even if you pass it on to other people, if they get die from other means not even the monster then it's back to you as well. The person you transferred it to could have a heart attack later in the same day and it would screw up the plan
It is not as strong as a human. It appears to be much stronger, able to easily break even the thickest bones in a human body. It also clearly seems to have the capacity to avoid obstacles, climb, crawl, and generally do what is necessary to ensure its pursuit of its victim is never obstructed for very long. I'm not sure trapping it is a realistic option. And as for getting the police to believe in an invisible monster by painting it, I think they're far more likely to think you're performing some sort of street magic for UA-cam and ignore it until it's too late.
Even if they at first think it is street magic, I am sure any cop would be curious enough to try and touch it at least and try investigating it. If you're convincing enough and the monster starts attacking the police, the situation will escalate as the cops try to take it down.
Strong as any human is. Did you forget what it does to the first victim we see in this movie? That's not made by human hands. How ever. Reveal it to the public is most likely the smartest thing to do, because it has a physical body in this world, and can act against it as such.
The fact that it can be made visible to others without sleeping with them is IMO the best route to go down and you wouldn’t need to get close enough to spray paint it just get a bucket of paint or for humor tar and feather the bastard you could pretty quickly get people on board to science out ways to deal with it but since it’s fiction the rules of the creature are left to our imagination so creating loopholes for rules is up in the air but based on the movie my best bet would be using teamwork to subdue it(thats when you get really creative) unless the creators of this specific concept elaborated more on its abilities then there’s really not much to say but also if this route did work it wouldn’t require ridiculously expensive or impractical ways of getting rid of it like flying around the world or taking a trip to the Marianas trench
According to the director, even being in outer space wouldn't save you because the Entity WOULD find a way to get to you. So no matter what, all you can do other than suicide is buy yourself more time. I think the best way to beat the Entity (or the closest you can get to beating it) would be to combine the video's methods: 1. Use the spraypaint technique in public near law enforcement or military personnel AND in view of a camera, such that it becomes physically visible and its existence becomes known by others. This will provide you with much-needed support for step 2. 2. Trap the Entity (or chase it down) into a large pyramid-shaped hole with spikes or a flamethrower or an acid bath at the bottom. The shape of the hole makes it difficult to climb out of, and the hazard at the bottom will do enough damage to incapacitate it (like shooting it in the head during the pool sequence) 3. Fill the hole with concrete. Top that hole with some kind of steel plating, and surround that hole with an additional hazard (spikes, gates, electric fence). Assuming the Entity doesn't have some overpowered teleporting ability, it has to find a way around all of that, which takes time. 3a. If possible, drop that concrete pyramid into the Marianas Trench, or some other extreme location, just for extra insurance. 4. Be promiscuous with other promiscuous people in locations separated by long distances.
So, if you managed to get to a planet on the other side of the galaxy, it would just show up. Like Q from Star Trek:TNG, it would pop-in and then proceed to walk toward you again. So there is no trapping it, even superman throwing the thing in a black hole would not work. Director would be like nope, it has God like powers and just gets more powers I didn't explain before. It is like two five year olds playing superhero, you know that friend who would just make up more superpowers as he went along so he would always win. I suppose you could stop it if you were the last in line and young enough. If you were to survive the creature your entire life until old-age, and hope everyone else the creature was after has died already, then if you die naturally or the creature gets you in the old age home it has no one else to get. No but wait, I bet the rules will change for the creature in that scenario as well, right?
The monster clearly changes forms at will like during the beach scene. The question is if it's shape-shifting or manifesting a new form. If it's the latter, does it respawn in place or in place of the nearest corpse. In any case I would be on a cross country tour to visit every sperm donor that exists.
Trapping it like the jail cell may not work. It constantly changes shape and size. Becoming a big giant man to break down doors, becoming a small scrawny kid to squeeze through small holes. We don't see many of its forms and whos to say it doesn't have something that could squeeze through jail bars. It also begs the question on if the paint would stay on it when it changes form.
"It's only as strong as a person" You might have forgotten the part when the guy hits it with a chair. But i can't blame you, why the hell is it so strong on some occasions but instantly becomes "human like" after.
can you PLEASEEEE make a video on “How to escape Yonder in the Vivarium.” just finished watching the movie and i would love to see someone make a video about how the couple could have escaped or possibly could have survived longer!
I did some math and the creature walks at 72 miles a day so just take a 48 km drive every day as it will give you 6 hours of peace and quiet but the average human needs 8 hours of sleep so you'd need to drive a little bit further
Here's kind of an idea on how you can get away from the monster . You could fly to the farthest country from you preferably one not on the same continent or one that needs to be reached by plain then have sex with a very attractive prostitute there or go to a brothel where the prostitute is likely to have sex with plenty of foreigners, In this way the monster has to walk back and forth in between continents while the number of host is still being increased . An example is if someone who lives in Florida sleeps with a Japanese person it would take about 77 or more days to walk from Japan to Florida not including swimming slowing them down. Also The demon would have to walk to the country you flew to following you .
Unsure if it's true, but writers said even traveling in space wouldn't keep you safe. That does radically change how we understand it, however it seems to spawn a few hundred yards away from its victim before deciding to walk. But then again I feel like it definitely chose to spend days walking within the movie (smart enough to avoid getting ran over I'm guessing), but then again how time passed in the movie isn't the most clear, but days would go by between encounters. It is also super smart and evil. It probably has the strength to bust down doors but still knocks for torment sake. It knows how doors work, it can climb up on roof of a house, knowing how to attack from windows, it knows what electricity and water is, how people may try trapping it, etc... escape routes its victims may take and what not. Really one of the more interesting monsters we've seen in horror films.

But the monster changes it's body every time we see it, which makes me think it loses it's physical form most likely right? So any type of trap it may just dissipate and you'll have it following you again somehow
@@jaijoerik6233 not invisible, we see it as a Granny in one scene, then this very tall man, then an average size woman, so unless it morphs, then to me I think it loses it's physical body and would just pop up somewhere else as someone else

So if you could trap it inside a coffin made out of the toughest manmade material, it would either destroy the coffin or simply pass through it. Which suggests that it acts how a human would act when walking, like using bricks to break into houses or will use its power to escape traps or whatnot.
seems like a cop out by the director of it is true since in the movie it had to break the doors multiple times and couldn't just phase thru solid opaque objects
@Johan Liebert Maybe because It prefers "normal" methods as long they get the job done?
give me a link to him saying that please
@@roxannewolfproductions8556 Here's the problem, 1: I made this comment over 2 years ago, so I've forgotten where I seen it. 2: You can't post links on UA-cam including other UA-cam videos without being authorized by the uploader. 3: Why don't you try and Google it? Try "director reveals how the monster from It Follows works".
I wonder what would happen if you managed to get the monster in like a woodchipper or something; we know that while immortal, the monster still has the bodily composition of a normal human (based on when it was shot in the head), so what would happen in that scenario, especially if the body was chopped up to the point of being mush? Would it be killed? Would it regenerate? Or would it result in a Tomie-like situation?
It would definitely reassemble.
Probably just break the woodchipper
It would definitely respawn.
Probably regenerate but take waaaaay long

Or you can just say no. It can't hurt you without your legal consent
It’s your body! No one has the right to touch it if you don’t want to!
mY BoDy mY cHoIcE
That'll never work - It doesn't care about your consent. If it's after you, it'll kill you if it gets too close. It doesn't listen to reason and doesn't feel fear as it's completely single-minded in the pursuit of it's targets.
You know, you say that, but it does rape you to death...
My idea was just getting a boat and heading out directly past the Marianas trench then shooting it then slam a hook into its back and toss an anchor overboard so that the current would make it impossible for it to come back up even after getting unhooked.
You’ve thought about this too much
Stirling Shears your bokat would be to Weak against the currents or whatever they are called, i forgot but in my Language We call it ström
It really depends on what boat is used
@@potatolord7970 of course but I don't think he's able to get a boat bigger than a boat that could be used for 3 people I mean, it's not like he could have access to military boats which are trained to fight currents/ström.
Corona virus Ok BOoMer you’ve got a point there
Problem: all the rules were canonically guess: what characters were able to piece together. There is no way to know if it can simply board a plane or teleport if you get out of a range, and while we never see it do anything too above the range of a human, it still can become any human ever, and quite possibly any being.
For as much as we know about it, it could get on a plane and follow you, and when you shoot it and try to bury it in cement, it becomes the Rock on steroids and breaks out.
In addition, it obviously has some telepathy of some sort, as it always knows where it's victims are, and can turn into people relevant to the person, at the right moment (such as the MC's dad)
The spray paint plan seems like it'll work the best, but for all we know for sure, it could start fucking sprinting & busting down walls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is outright shown to be thwarted by physical obstacles tho. It can't always smash through doors or walls, for instance. It can take damage and can be stunned. It is abnormally strong but not too much past human. As far as I recall the best feat of strength it has is smacking a guy off his feet and breaking a pretty shabby door. Beyond what most humans could do but not incomprehensible.
This sounds like a follow up sequel. Character thinks they beat it, hops on flight, follows to next country and the whole tradition starts over.
@@alertedcoyote7892 it is onky thwarted by physical obstacles if there is another path to it's victim, if you hide the target inside a room that has 10m thick metal with no doors or windows, it would destroy it and make a hole or tear it like paper. it only has one weekness, it's slow. that's it!
What kind of a job do these zombies hold? Meaning - if you fly away to another place to escape it, how does it get the money to buy the plane ticket to board a plane to fly to your location to get you? What do zombies make per year? How can they afford a plane ticket at current prices? So many questions.
Few issues, that I know others have said, but still.
1. It most definitely has superhuman strength; maybe not enough to bust through or out of solid concrete, but it could probably bend prison bars to escape. It’s shown tossing people around like ragdolls and twisting someone into a pretzel (I think) so it could definitely bust down a wooden door if it had to.
2. As you said, the demon does have rudimentary intelligence, and from what we’ve seen I think that intelligence can somewhat scale to the complexity that it would take to reach their target. I wouldn’t take it as totally out of the question for it to wander onto a cargo ship in order to reach your destination quicker.
What I would do in that situation if I chose the whole overseas route is to definitely stay vigilant for the first and last few months. If it manages to reach you sooner than should be possible by a human at a walking pace, then you’d definitely be able to figure out that it has some more tricks up it’s sleeve that it probably only utilizes when it absolutely has to.
yea not me. im gonna shoot a dozen airtags into his scunt, douzing it with paint and calling the police simultaneously. then I'm slapping that bugger in area 51 asap.

It follows is the type of horror movie I can cozily sit through on a brisk Saturday afternoon
OMG TOTALY
This is the kind of film that seems pretty easy and beatable and chill but is terrifying af if it happened in real life
it doesn’t seem beatable at all
@@ImSakina_ Seems pretty easily beatable the very moment you know it exists.
Make the creature follow you and just go to a public place like the mall with buckets of paint and call the authorities. Start getting everyone's attention and tell them that there's something following you, at first they'd think you're crazy but show them by throwing paint on the creatures face. A floating head should be enough to persuade them that you'd on to something. The police would probably try to investigate the floating head and would be supernaturally killed. This event should draw enough attention that you'd probably be safe for life, under some government protection or something, as they study and contain the creature. Basically scp shit
Nothing is stopping the monster from taking a plane or getting in a Helicopter and jumping out of it into your fort.
You would hear it's body go splat. Tie it up and bury 60 feet under.
I don't think the monster's abilities are as concrete as you're making it to be. For example, considering the protagonists constantly drive a car to go around, and the monster seems to always be just not that far behind them despite only being on foot, it might be the case that the monster can teleport when it's not being directly observed. So, going to another continent might be useless. And the monster seems to only attack when its victim is conscious, not while asleep. Maybe the monster also wants to "marinate its victims in fear," Pennywise-style.
This is one of my favorite films ever and whenever a video like this pops up I always watch it regardless all of the times I have seen similar ones before

Not gonna lie, the spray paint idea is genius.
You should go with flame thrower
It's definitely waaaaaay stronger than a person. You saw the intro right? No one is mangled by bare hands like that. I'd say at minimum, it's as strong as a person. Also, it launches the kid away with the chair on the beach.

I think the most foolproof way of stopping it is to trap it in some type of contraption that shoots or stabs it every couple of minutes indefinitely. It is shown in the movie that you can briefly stun it. What if you are able to permanently stun it over and over again so that it will never get anywhere?
The trick after spray painting it, is to place the intended victim just ahead of it, having placed it unconscious onto a treadmill. Hey presto, unlimited power.
Where’s that “The Lobster” review
It's around
Your answer are direct and clear unlike others who covered this topic all beating around the bush.
If any of these ideas were put into the movie, the director would give it an attribute to solve it (maybe it starts phasing into other bodies like the matrix or breaks down it's properties into atoms and reforms elsewhere, just adapts, etc). The point is that it is unstoppable and you're never safe. Not fun for our thought experiment but yeah
1. Find a dolphin
2. Do unspeakably awful things
3. Release the dolphin
4. Frequently bang so you can have an early warning system
I never really liked the final strategy they decided on in the film - i.e. sleeping with a prostitute to pass the curse on as far as possible. With this method you would still have to live in constant fear that every knock on your door could mean death. You have no way of knowing for sure that the monster hasn't got back to you - maybe that prostitute took a holiday shortly after sleeping with you, or for some other reason the curse didn't get very far.
I would prefer a more permanent solution personally, one where you can be sure that it will *NEVER* come back to you. However, we don't really know what this thing's limitations are. For example, could you keep it suspended in acid like SCP-682 rendering it immobile as it's muscles are constantly dissolved by the acid? Can it dig, swim, climb, even fly? Can it break through walls, doors, metal?
If it only had the strength of a human, and no special abilities we don't know about, it would actually be fairly easy to contain. Like someone else said, a metal box buried in the desert - job done. Or just to be sure, throw the box down the Mariana Trench - unless it's got some super powers like SCP-096 in which case it will never stop coming and you're screwed no matter what.
We also don't know what happens when everyone it's ever pursued is dead. Does it just pick a new person at random, or does it disguise itself so that someone has sex with it? If it pursued your parent(s), will it pursue you if they died of natural causes before it could reach them?
i haven't thought about this in a hot minute tbh
Can we all agree this is a fuckin terrifying concept, sure the movie was cheesy but it follows has an idea, was unique and scary af
Still happy you came back though 🥰
Im patiently waiting for the video "how to beat 2020"
As soon as I come back to this channel you upload! Love it, and love your content! :)
you forgot one detail:
At the beginning of the movie it has demonstrated the ability to teleport. So locking it up and travelling will not help.
There's also the fact that it can turn into someone else, bypassing infiltration and presumably removing the paint.
You're gonna have to go to UCF...or sleep with my ex-roommate, whichever comes first.
When was it shown to teleport?

I’m in love with the zombie walking animation, lmao. Spinning
Seeing it was 6 hours ago really freaked me out until I saw the comments
Worst part is that even if you pass it on to other people, if they get die from other means not even the monster then it's back to you as well. The person you transferred it to could have a heart attack later in the same day and it would screw up the plan
It is not as strong as a human. It appears to be much stronger, able to easily break even the thickest bones in a human body. It also clearly seems to have the capacity to avoid obstacles, climb, crawl, and generally do what is necessary to ensure its pursuit of its victim is never obstructed for very long. I'm not sure trapping it is a realistic option. And as for getting the police to believe in an invisible monster by painting it, I think they're far more likely to think you're performing some sort of street magic for UA-cam and ignore it until it's too late.
Even if they at first think it is street magic, I am sure any cop would be curious enough to try and touch it at least and try investigating it. If you're convincing enough and the monster starts attacking the police, the situation will escalate as the cops try to take it down.
Recently discovered this channel and I am obsessed....gonna go and binge watch every upload lol
Strong as any human is. Did you forget what it does to the first victim we see in this movie? That's not made by human hands.
How ever. Reveal it to the public is most likely the smartest thing to do, because it has a physical body in this world, and can act against it as such.
Thanks for releasing the video! I missed your content but health always comes first, take as much time as you need

Let’s be honest, we watched the original but we’re liking and fully watching this to support our boi 😸
Glad you're back man! Great video
Great thing to watch after missing a class! :0
The fact that it can be made visible to others without sleeping with them is IMO the best route to go down and you wouldn’t need to get close enough to spray paint it just get a bucket of paint or for humor tar and feather the bastard you could pretty quickly get people on board to science out ways to deal with it but since it’s fiction the rules of the creature are left to our imagination so creating loopholes for rules is up in the air but based on the movie my best bet would be using teamwork to subdue it(thats when you get really creative) unless the creators of this specific concept elaborated more on its abilities then there’s really not much to say but also if this route did work it wouldn’t require ridiculously expensive or impractical ways of getting rid of it like flying around the world or taking a trip to the Marianas trench
Just frickin concrete the nerds...
i remember watching this, i know it’s probably just a reupload but dude i have no sense of time so i’m kinda freaking out
According to the director, even being in outer space wouldn't save you because the Entity WOULD find a way to get to you. So no matter what, all you can do other than suicide is buy yourself more time. I think the best way to beat the Entity (or the closest you can get to beating it) would be to combine the video's methods:
1. Use the spraypaint technique in public near law enforcement or military personnel AND in view of a camera, such that it becomes physically visible and its existence becomes known by others. This will provide you with much-needed support for step 2.
2. Trap the Entity (or chase it down) into a large pyramid-shaped hole with spikes or a flamethrower or an acid bath at the bottom. The shape of the hole makes it difficult to climb out of, and the hazard at the bottom will do enough damage to incapacitate it (like shooting it in the head during the pool sequence)
3. Fill the hole with concrete. Top that hole with some kind of steel plating, and surround that hole with an additional hazard (spikes, gates, electric fence). Assuming the Entity doesn't have some overpowered teleporting ability, it has to find a way around all of that, which takes time.
3a. If possible, drop that concrete pyramid into the Marianas Trench, or some other extreme location, just for extra insurance.
4. Be promiscuous with other promiscuous people in locations separated by long distances.
Were did you get that director info.
So, if you managed to get to a planet on the other side of the galaxy, it would just show up. Like Q from Star Trek:TNG, it would pop-in and then proceed to walk toward you again. So there is no trapping it, even superman throwing the thing in a black hole would not work. Director would be like nope, it has God like powers and just gets more powers I didn't explain before. It is like two five year olds playing superhero, you know that friend who would just make up more superpowers as he went along so he would always win.
I suppose you could stop it if you were the last in line and young enough. If you were to survive the creature your entire life until old-age, and hope everyone else the creature was after has died already, then if you die naturally or the creature gets you in the old age home it has no one else to get.
No but wait, I bet the rules will change for the creature in that scenario as well, right?
id already watched this one and i was caught out by the reupload, but its so good im finna watch it again
The monster clearly changes forms at will like during the beach scene. The question is if it's shape-shifting or manifesting a new form. If it's the latter, does it respawn in place or in place of the nearest corpse.
In any case I would be on a cross country tour to visit every sperm donor that exists.
Trapping it like the jail cell may not work. It constantly changes shape and size. Becoming a big giant man to break down doors, becoming a small scrawny kid to squeeze through small holes. We don't see many of its forms and whos to say it doesn't have something that could squeeze through jail bars. It also begs the question on if the paint would stay on it when it changes form.
"It's only as strong as a person"
You might have forgotten the part when the guy hits it with a chair.
But i can't blame you, why the hell is it so strong on some occasions but instantly becomes "human like" after.
The way it pushes him back looks so fucking stupid

Past the curse to the enity that way it will be on an endless loop trying to kill itself
The real question is what if someone screwed an animal would it transfer to that animal?
That's a great idea! They should have passed it to something fast like a cheetah. Or maybe a fish in case It can't swim
I did some math and the creature walks at 72 miles a day so just take a 48 km drive every day as it will give you 6 hours of peace and quiet but the average human needs 8 hours of sleep so you'd need to drive a little bit further

The [REDACTED] contains the anomalous threat, therefore stopping and preventing anymore harm.
So the Solution is to just spray paint the monster, seems simple enough.
even after 4 year it's still a great video
Here's kind of an idea on how you can get away from the monster . You could fly to the farthest country from you preferably one not on the same continent or one that needs to be reached by plain then have sex with a very attractive prostitute there or go to a brothel where the prostitute is likely to have sex with plenty of foreigners, In this way the monster has to walk back and forth in between continents while the number of host is still being increased . An example is if someone who lives in Florida sleeps with a Japanese person it would take about 77 or more days to walk from Japan to Florida not including swimming slowing them down. Also The demon would have to walk to the country you flew to following you .
“Spray paint it”
That... actually makes sense
2:03 wait, is that the dude that plays Sam in atypical? or am I crazy?
google confirmed: he is
Unsure if it's true, but writers said even traveling in space wouldn't keep you safe. That does radically change how we understand it, however it seems to spawn a few hundred yards away from its victim before deciding to walk. But then again I feel like it definitely chose to spend days walking within the movie (smart enough to avoid getting ran over I'm guessing), but then again how time passed in the movie isn't the most clear, but days would go by between encounters. It is also super smart and evil. It probably has the strength to bust down doors but still knocks for torment sake. It knows how doors work, it can climb up on roof of a house, knowing how to attack from windows, it knows what electricity and water is, how people may try trapping it, etc... escape routes its victims may take and what not. Really one of the more interesting monsters we've seen in horror films.

But the monster changes it's body every time we see it, which makes me think it loses it's physical form most likely right? So any type of trap it may just dissipate and you'll have it following you again somehow
It just becomes invisible it's still physically there.
