One missed detail I liked is the kid with the bike they almost hit at the beginning. When it happened they said he's probably heading to school. Then when Pedro makes it to the school at the end, it's the same kid, finally arriving to the school.
I ain't gonna lie this guy's put me on to countless underrated movies I would've never heard of & save me countless hrs of bad movies I would never wanna sit through!
It's been the worst sitting and watching about an hour or half an hour of a horror movie, then realize the waste of time you've spent on a shit story. I appreciate this mans work he is amazing
I feel like you missed calling out the fact that after Pedro took out the necklace from Jair's mouth, Jair suddenly looks at his father - despite the fact that this isn't something he does normally. In my opinion, this is the demon still looking at Pedro to enjoy the moment.
Agreed. And, to add to that, it can be gathered that Pedro actually kills Jair at the end. When we see Pedro collapsing in front of his house during the final shot our attention is focused on him because he is centered in the shot and showing the most movement. But if we take in the borders of how this scene was shot we will also see that the chimney pipe at the top left has smoke coming from it. This suggests that Pedro killed Jair and burned his body, delivering that final blow to Pedro's mind and soul. This is further suggested when we see his brother Jimmy looking at the smoke during the final shot. It also calls back to the film's hints that Pedro had tried to kill the boy before. Now, with having been successful in his second attempt at filicide, Pedro's mind finally snaps. I have to praise the camerwork in this film. I found so many little details throughout the use of continues, sweeping shots that both showed the gore and hid parts of it at times that really made me appreciate the hard work and effort that must have gone into making this fantastic horror movie.
The Director about the movie: At the beginning of the film, it becomes clear that the government has systems in place to handle the encarnado, and those systems have failed entirely because of bureaucratic indifference and laziness. Rugna’s inspiration for the movie explains a lot about where that theme came from: As he told the Fantastic Fest audience in a Q&A after the movie’s premiere, he got the idea for When Evil Lurks from a series of news stories about farm pesticides in his native Argentina causing widespread health issues. “The owners of those lands contaminate those fields with glyphosate to kill bugs - pesticide,” he said at the Q&A. “There’s a lot of people who work in those fields, and they get cancer. You’d probably see a little kid with cancer, because they are workers. They didn’t say anything - or if they say something, nobody knows.” He suggests that corporate apathy about the workers’ health, and the way the issue occured “out in the middle of nothing,” where it’s easy for profiteers and city-dwellers to ignore the impact of their choices, started him thinking about the idea of lurking evils given free rein to spread. “The pesticide infected them,” Rugna told Polygon. “Kids were born with cancer. Sometimes you see something in the news, but then there’s nothing more to say, and you forget the image. They’re in the middle of nothing, the middle of poverty. They must do work for less than a couple dollars, and they’re all ill. After you turn off the television, you forget, but they are still there, they are still probably gonna die.” He said it happens too often, that “people who work the land” get “abandoned” by the system. “When I decided to make a movie with some kind of exorcism, I thought, OK, but what happens if the people cannot reach a priest? All the Exorcist movies happen in the city, in a big house. But what if we’re in the middle of nothing, in a poor house, with poor people who nobody cares for? Even the owner of the land wants to get rid of them, to burn their houses. It happens in my own country all the time - not the demons, [but the rest].”
Forestry nerd correction: glyphosate is a herbicide not a pesticide. We use it to kill invasives or unwanted trees. Small correction but i cant help myself haha good info otherwise!
The ending is a gut punch. There are no more churches because the Rotten have been killing off the cleaners. Very few cleaners are still alive and won't risk their lives to cleanse evil. I'd like to see a prequel/sequel about the cleaner origins and end the movie can be the beginning of this film.
I got bit and had surgery from a dog bite when I was 6, I still have a scar from the stitches on my face. I literally felt the tension because it's exactly what happened to me. Dog and I chilling and then him attacking me. I love that this movie did scenes other movies are too scared to do.
Pretty sure the evil sought Pedro out knowing he could be manipulated. I’d love to see a sequel to this! The world crafting and lore was pretty great, as well as the camera work and acting.
One clarification - I don't think Amanda became possessed when she killed her husband with the axe right after he shot the goat. They explain in the movie that the evil spreads to you if you kill it improperly, so Amanda killed her husband after he kills the goat, and then kills herself, in a desperate attempt to stop the 'chain' of evil spreading. It's an eerie scene because it makes clear how much weight everyone puts on stopping the spread of this evil before it becomes endemic - even a pregnant woman would take her own life to try and stop its spread.
And every other character that didn't follow the rules. Movies that purposefully have their characters make inexplicably wrong decisions over and over just to move the plot forward is weak storytelling.
I would assume it was the demons influence slowly killing any form of sense these people had, especially on Pedro who's already lost it at the end of the movie. Remember it had been a year since Uriel was reported as possessed and the authorities didn't believe it until it was too late. I'd say the only truly bad decision made was to move the body which made everything so much worse. It was just very unfortunate all of this happened to fall on poor Pedro, an already flawed person to begin with.
@@nikkijadesola23 true; Miles Morales' "Imma do my own thing" works because he thinks which style/plan works best for him and everyone else while here, Pedro's "Imma do my own thing" works in favor FOR the bad guys.
I love the fact that they chose the name Uriel. In Christianity, there are the Four Last Things (there's a well-known painting by Hieronymus Bosch called "The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things). The Four Last Things are death, judgment, Hell, and Heaven, each of which have an associated archangel. Death is Raphael, judgment is Gabriel, Heaven is Michael and, of course, Hell is Uriel.
@@kalaegambol7195 He is also the angel of the sun, yes. He has a number of things he presides over. One of them is the sun, one of them is divine judgment, one of them is the keeper of Hell who oversees the punishments of fallen angels, and a few others. I just found his connection to the Four Last Things to be the most interesting with regards to this movie 🙂
@@LykouDanthat may connect to the drawing Jair did, and the paper cutouts the school children made, of them gathered around the evil as they walk towards the sun
The word in the original lenguage for the Rotten is "encarnado" wich can mean "incarnated" but can also mean "ingrown" like an ingrown nail...or a demon. Also, the brothers call them "embichado" wich is kinda of a rural term for something that has bugs or parasites inside, kinda like "infested"
In Portuguese encarnado also means incarnated, the other meaning being reddish, as something blood red or of the colour of flesh. Also, an ingrown nail is said unha encravada. Curiously, the root word, cravo, not only translates to nail but also to carnation (the flower), so one is left to wonder if there's an etymological link between the words.
It’s easy to miss but it’s possible Santino was jimmy’s son, the entire movie he’s in the same emotional state until he sees Sabrina eating Santino then he breaks down then it’s revealed they were having an affair. Also in the phone call she mentions a broken son but doesn’t say anything about Santino
I found it very aethetically pleasing that Pedro's jacket is that specific shade of red, mirroring the beast at the end of the movie, covered in blood after being born.
Bro I almost fainted when I watched Atterados by this director. And just watched this movie but I didn’t know it was the same director until I looked it up. Argentina really has great stuffs. I have watched few romantic movies also and they were great. Left me with a lump in my throat.
I like that these people, while definitely loving their children, keep failing them and not listening when they’re told not to do this or that. They blindly keep making terrible choices and ignore what’s going on with the kids. It feels like a reference to poor parenting and how it can majorly effect children, that it can even follow some into adulthood to make the same mistakes.
Did anyone else get underlying feminist vibes from this movie? With the men ignoring women and acting on emotions, women and children end up dying because of them
In the car where the grandma is naming different names of demons Jair also named Azrael again. You only catch it with the subtitles on. Also the drawing Jair had is pretty much what happened at the end of the school scene.
Watching Pedro is like watching a playthrough of a Quantic Dream game (detriot become human, beyond two souls, heavy rain) where they purposely make the wrong choices/deliberately missing QTEs.
This was a blind watch for me. I was presently surprised and confused as to why I haven't heard more noise around the movie. While watching the movie it felt very familiar, now I realize its because of the director. I had no idea the director behind Terrified, also brought us this. Great job as always FoundFlix.
Same for me. But I accidentally watched it without subtitles lol. Still was a interesting watch, even tho I couldn't understand what anyone was saying. But I was guessing probably some possession thing was going on with a little mix of zombie stuff in there.. I'll have to rewatch it with subtitles
The dog scene and the mom with the son scene.. I’ve seen so much gore in movies but something about gore with kids just makes it so much more unsettling.. Probably because few movies have the balls to hurt/kill kids and show it on screen, but this movie seemed to proudly display it 💀
Yeah that’s something I appreciate a lot in horror movies. When kids get ruined. Not because I particularly like watching that, but because it brings a whole new level of realism in the sense that there’s nothing truly stopping kids from being hurt in real life. Yet they always scrape by relatively unharmed in movies.
This movie's atmosphere was amazing, and Uriel's appearance was the hook to really rattle me! The roles rules, doubt, fear, and panicked self-damaging action play in the film remind me of my own struggles with mental health. I've never plugged a gas vent, but I relate to Pedro. Pedro's entire trial seems like a protracted version of The Moment before trying to end it; feeling constricted, powerless, yet having to do Something in the throes of pain...but this time Pedro's Something was bad news for everyone.
This director is killing with his Argentinian Horror movies. If haven't checked it out yet, Aterrados is also an amazing watching with great atmosphere
Yes, the fact they kept going back to what the dog was doing, being petted, listening in to arguments etc, I kinda knew something like that was going to happen. Yes I agree, what happened was so much worse and intense than what I had in my mind, in this case what I was imagining was so much more benign that what was shown. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie.
From my understanding, he gave him the "First" mark of the beast. Since he is reborn, the count starts over. He was allowed to leave because even if he didnt realize it, he was one of his most faithful servants the entire movie. The last cleaner lady told him, the beast doesn't always do it one way, and manipulates people to do his deeds also. He always choose the WORSE/BEST way to help the beast spread and expand. ALSO maybe he too is autistic.
@@NotTheGrimmReaper lmao relax I like the channel he just happens to have the most annoying voice ever. It could be Fred Flintstone the host I couldn't care less
I actually think one of the scariest moments of the film was when Jair is caught having eaten his grandmother and his eyes flick to and focus on Pedro for a split second, revealing that he is actually just mimicking being autistic. It’s really subtle and well-done, and very disturbing.
@@Jaywant811 Mirta explains some people are more susceptible to the evil than others. Some people can't get technically possessed, but their fears still give power to the evil.
I was watching this movie with my family and I said in the beginning “nah once the autistic kid starts speaking regular Spanish, I know someone getting bodies” and the grandma got fucking bodies bro really walked in there normal talking about some I’m hungry and feeling a bit chilly, grandma heard bro conversing with her and knew she was cooked, like how u make someone speaking normally scary and tense. W movie
I LOVE the fact that you're still covering movies like this. You are the 🐐, and nothing like the suicide by farmer goat towards the beginning of this movie.
i’m from argentina (where the movie is also from) and i feel so proud! the acting, the photography, it all took me back to when we went camping in the countryside as kids and you would hear all kinds of stories at night! truly recommend watching it in it’s original language
At the end we were under the impression that Pedro burnt Jair in the fireplace. Jimmy walks and looks through the door to inside and breaks down. There is then smoke billowing from the chimney. Anyone else think the same??
I think most ppl saw something big with the dog coming ever since he sniffed the clothes and the way the camera focus kept shifting back and forth. Great scene!!!
Waaait, so being autistic just ends the possession in a stalemate? Demon: WTF HOW DO I STEER THIS BODY!?! Kid with ADHD: butterfly! What was I doing? Demon: FUUUUUCK!
@@elvangulley3210dam ur going into every comment hating. If ur not a fan of the movie then just don’t watch or support the content. But the fact that ur goin outta ur way to hate is crazy
@@a.nobodys.nobody the way they made the protagonist the dumbest man on earth breaking every rule he and everyone living in that world know works for no reason even as he sees ignoring those rules cause disaster and death I can understand maybe breaking one rule but not all of them
I also loved Terrified and hate how I have to clarify to every single person I talk to that I don't mean Terrifier... but yeah this movie was another win from Rugna!
7:31 the clock shows 44 til 7pm. 44 min later in the film Pedro is decieved by the young boy telling him to go to the traffic circle, which sets off the events that seal their failure at the school, leading to the birth of the Red Son, for him to complete of the group of... 7.
Ive been waiting for you to cover this movie, this movie is awesome and i knew you were gonna be covering it the second i heard of it saw the teaser and watched it myself, crazy that i managed to watch it before you uploaded a cover of the movie!
Yeah, and he foolishly went to his ex wife’s house and thought she was just going to hand over the kids to him. And he should have immediately burned the old clothing after he had undressed. Or not gone there at all.
@@zukini8763he didn't ask her to simply give the children away, he said that EVERYONE had to get out of there immediately, not to mention that he also shouted several times that he needed to get rid of his clothes but the other two ignored him and continued arguing and after he spoke about the possessed no one believed him and they simply called him crazy and it's not like the possessed were something new, everyone knew about their existence and the danger they represented, in short everything that went wrong in this film happened because no one listened to each other or followed the rules, preferring to make decisions based on emotions, which led everyone to damnation
Pedro.....YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!!!!! If this movie was a game, then Pedro basically on purpose achieved the "bad ending" in that last 10ish mins
Realistically most of us would answer outta curiosity. And like another comment mentioned, he may have thought that maybe he was going crazy since he didn’t confirm with anyone else what happened to Sabrina. So worth answering. That being said, I would’ve hung up immediately after she started talkin mad shit
@dracodaym715 except possession is a very public and well-known threat in that world. There's gov't protocols to turn off city lights, the abolition of churches, children songs to teach kids the dangers and rules, and a once public organization, the cleaners. Pedro should not have taken that phone call. He saw the possessed, dumped its body, heard Ruiz died, saw the dog attack, leo shooting the dog and crashing into his wife. Zero reason to answer that phone call. The reason he answered is b/c his character is dumb, everything he does is a mistake. I don't think any of his actions are meant to be explained by logic but rather his own ineptitude and poor decisions which is why he's the chosen tool of manipulation by the demons.
please continue to make more videos. I just love watching your videos even as background noise while I’m doing other things. something about the voice and the connotation in the way you explain everything. You’re really great at what you do. 🙏🏻😎
Pedro really pissed me off like if you're such a coward and scared you'd listen to the cleaner rather than following the obvious demon says. When the cleaner screamed dont leave me alone I wished I could pull Pedro's hair and drag him back to the cleaner
I personally found Pedro's constant idiocy detracted from my enjoyment. I get that he was being manipulated by the demon, and there was likely some bigger point about people not learning, but his incomprehensible stupidity in the school scene really took me out of the movie. One other thing I didn’t understand was the goat scene. The goat they were pointing at kept changing, it seemed, and didn’t look particularly notable. What was it they saw (before scaring the rest of the herd away)?
Maybe it's just because I've had to deal with some extreme unfortunate situations before, but I just can't ever empathize with people making stupid decisions because of emotional mistakes. If you're in a survival situation, stop fucking feeling things and just focus on surviving. Anyone who's a hindrance needs to be left behind, no exceptions. But emotions are what makes us humans, so that's pretty hard to do.
crazy concept here, not everyone is YOU. i can also stay relatively calm during emergencies since i worked in some health care related stuff, but not everyone can. this dude was trying to keep his entire family alive and was fighting against an incomprehensible demon. which i am very sure you have never experienced (the demon shit at least) the rotten even tells him that he needs to hurry and get to his son, despite it knowing it already killed him. they already established that the demon cant possess them but it CAN look into their minds and know every fear and trauma they have. so while it might seem stupid at the time, he was in a hurry and thought the risk would worth the pay off. he literally had the tear the entire stage apart with a tiny ass hammer while his son was with a horrifically violent demon
I watched this movie with my husband on New years lol. Way to start my year off right, lol. We really stumbled on this movie. I've never heard about it. We just looked up good scary movies, and this popped up on Google. It was soooooo good. The best part is that there are really no cheap jump scares that other movies rely on. This movie is so disturbing with subtle things. The scene with the dog 😮. The scene where his autistic son walks in the house and speaks👀. The scene with the mother eating her kid😱. The scene where Pedro's dumb azz leaves the woman😡. The scene where the fat man raises his head out of the stage🥶. Pedro pulling his mothers hair out his sons mouth😢. Once the movie was over, you still felt your hair standing up and an eerie feeling looming over you. I watch a lot of scary movies, but this I will always recommend first to people.
I would love to hear what happens after the end of the movie. I know it would steal some of the magic of the film, but I hate being left wondering when the world is really interesting. There's no way that a "beast" hasn't been born in that universe before. They have terms and knowledge of such a scenario. The Cobra monks sound super cool, and I would love to ear more about this cult/secret society.
Title: When Shadows Return **Prologue:** The village had barely begun to heal from the horrors that Pedro and Jaime had inadvertently unleashed. The land, once fertile and vibrant, now lay under a perpetual shadow, as if the very earth remembered the evil that had walked upon it. The villagers whispered of the "Rotten" and the demonic infection that had nearly consumed them all. But evil, once awakened, is not so easily put to rest. **Chapter 1: The Omen** It began with the livestock. Animals that had survived the initial chaos started behaving strangely. Cows refused to graze, sheep huddled together in fear, and the dogs howled at the moonless sky. Pedro, now the reluctant leader of the village, couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. He had seen the signs before. One night, as Pedro patrolled the outskirts of the village, he stumbled upon a sight that chilled him to the bone. A circle of dead birds, their bodies twisted and contorted, lay in the middle of a clearing. In the center, a single black feather stood upright, defying the laws of nature. Pedro knew this was no ordinary omen. The evil had returned. **Chapter 2: The Return** Jaime, who had left the village in search of answers, returned with grim news. He had found an old hermit who spoke of an ancient curse, one that could only be broken by confronting the source of the evil. The brothers realized that their previous actions had merely delayed the inevitable. The demon was not defeated; it was merely biding its time. The villagers, though terrified, rallied behind Pedro and Jaime. They prepared for the worst, fortifying their homes and arming themselves with whatever they could find. But deep down, they knew that no amount of preparation could protect them from what was coming. **Chapter 3: The Descent** As the days grew shorter and the nights longer, the village was plunged into darkness. Strange figures were seen lurking in the shadows, and the air was thick with the stench of decay. Pedro and Jaime led a small group into the heart of the forest, where they believed the source of the evil lay. They found an ancient, crumbling temple, hidden beneath the roots of a massive tree. The air inside was suffocating, and the walls seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy. As they ventured deeper, they encountered grotesque creatures, twisted and deformed by the demonic presence. The group fought valiantly, but the odds were against them. **Chapter 4: The Confrontation** In the deepest chamber of the temple, Pedro and Jaime came face to face with the demon. It was a monstrous being, its body a writhing mass of darkness and despair. The brothers realized that they could not defeat it with brute force alone. They needed to confront their own fears and guilt, the very emotions that the demon fed upon. With a surge of determination, Pedro and Jaime confronted their past mistakes, acknowledging the pain they had caused. The demon, sensing their resolve, began to weaken. The brothers, drawing upon their inner strength, managed to banish the demon back to the abyss from whence it came. **Epilogue:** The village slowly began to recover, but the scars of the past would never fully heal. Pedro and Jaime, though hailed as heroes, knew that the battle against evil was never truly over. They had learned that darkness could never be completely vanquished, only kept at bay. As the village rebuilt, a new sense of hope emerged. The villagers, united by their shared ordeal, vowed to remain vigilant. For they knew that when evil lurks, it is the strength of the human spirit that will ultimately prevail.
90% of the movies you cover I haven't even heard of and probably would never see, but your videos are super entertaining and well made so i watch all of them.
Just finished watching this and the breaking point for me was Pedro going to get that axe. It literally couldn't have been simpler for him. Just drag Uriel's body out a few inches and the whole thing would be over. After that, I gave up hope and lo and behold, he didn't disappoint by unleashing the beast. Well done, Pedro. You doomed everyone from the start.
Yeah just lift a 200kg body infested with a demon from an undergrown place filled with dead bodies. Average man can barely lift his own weight, Pedro was probably somewhere around 80-90kg. Remember it took 3 of them to barely move Uriel in the first place with the help of a sheet. There was no chance for Pedro to get that body out of there by himself. Also all the kids griefing and the old lady yelling, anyone would've panicked in that situation
I think Jair was possessed at the moment the grandma called the devil name Azrael. And in his drawing 14:26, that foreshadowing the last scene when devil reborn and leaving with the kids. The mark on Pedro can’t be washed just to show how extremely unclean the devil is, everything will become corrupted on its path.
Great coverage, per the norm. I remember watching this movie and being really impressed by it overall. But MAN Pedro was like the physical embodiment of the Bad Decision trope. I just got so frustrated as the movie went on. I still enjoyed this take on possession while completely agreeing with you on the thin lore building. I am of the mind that the world the characters live in is already dying/dead. It is just taking its sweet time falling completely into ruin. And our boy Pedro really helped move it along by the end of the film. I could totally see another movie in the realm. Maybe a redemption arch for Pedro. He and his brother can be the last Cleaners on the earth...
Terrified is one of the most underrated , best horror movies I've ever seen. Truly. Almost perfect. This movie was really good. Didn't realize it was the same director. Really cool. Good 2 movies
I have just finished watching this film. Several times I ended up shouting at the screen, " What do you think you're doing? " and calling the main guy an idiot. He just couldn't follow basic instructions.
I didn't interpret Ruiz's Wife killing him and herself as her being possessed. I felt she was trying to prevent the spread, knowing what would happen because he used a firearm. Also , the mark left on Pedro's forehead at the end is clearly whatever's Demony Spanish for "Useful Idiot". Loving Demián's stuff! I heard a sequel to Terrified is coming next.
In the scene where the grandma is naming fallen angels. After she is told to stop, with subtitles on, you can see someone says Azazel. I thought it was Jair that says it but no idea
I don’t always want/expect sequels to good films, but I feel that the world building with this one has so much potential. I think a prequel would be great.
This feels like falling over stairs and hitting EVERY SINGLE FUCKING STAIR on the way down. When you think that it cant get worse, OH BOY, IT GETS WORSE.
One missed detail I liked is the kid with the bike they almost hit at the beginning. When it happened they said he's probably heading to school. Then when Pedro makes it to the school at the end, it's the same kid, finally arriving to the school.

Pretty sure the evil sought Pedro out knowing he could be manipulated. I’d love to see a sequel to this! The world crafting and lore was pretty great, as well as the camera work and acting.
No sequel, it was the apocalypse. Not much after that 😅
One clarification - I don't think Amanda became possessed when she killed her husband with the axe right after he shot the goat. They explain in the movie that the evil spreads to you if you kill it improperly, so Amanda killed her husband after he kills the goat, and then kills herself, in a desperate attempt to stop the 'chain' of evil spreading. It's an eerie scene because it makes clear how much weight everyone puts on stopping the spread of this evil before it becomes endemic - even a pregnant woman would take her own life to try and stop its spread.
Thank you, no video i watched about this movie so far mentioned it
I think she got posessed and made to kill herself, after all, Uriel said he was going for her and the child inside her when he was taunting.
@ajjordan7286 think you may be correct.
The demon literally told him in Maria's house that the second he killed him, he'd possess the baby and therefore the wife.....
@@Lwilibertright like he literally told ruiz what would happen/what he'd do
Good going, Pedro. You have the emotional maturity of a toddler. It's aggravating watching him repeatedly screw up! Also, was that kid not creepy af?!
Which kid lol. There were so many creepy children. 😂
@@fuzzycatbutts Ha! True! I was referring to the antichrist kid though
@@amandaredd3057 Ohhh, definitely, total sleep paralysis demon vibes
And every other character that didn't follow the rules.
Movies that purposefully have their characters make inexplicably wrong decisions over and over just to move the plot forward is weak storytelling.
I would assume it was the demons influence slowly killing any form of sense these people had, especially on Pedro who's already lost it at the end of the movie. Remember it had been a year since Uriel was reported as possessed and the authorities didn't believe it until it was too late. I'd say the only truly bad decision made was to move the body which made everything so much worse. It was just very unfortunate all of this happened to fall on poor Pedro, an already flawed person to begin with.
"Follow the rules"
Pedro: Nah, Imma do my own thing.
😂😂😂 miles morales npc
@@nikkijadesola23 true; Miles Morales' "Imma do my own thing" works because he thinks which style/plan works best for him and everyone else while here, Pedro's "Imma do my own thing" works in favor FOR the bad guys.
Both destroy their universe and world cause they want to do their own thing.
When being your own worst enemy is an understatement
I love the fact that they chose the name Uriel. In Christianity, there are the Four Last Things (there's a well-known painting by Hieronymus Bosch called "The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things). The Four Last Things are death, judgment, Hell, and Heaven, each of which have an associated archangel. Death is Raphael, judgment is Gabriel, Heaven is Michael and, of course, Hell is Uriel.
Isn't Uriel the angel of the sun
@@kalaegambol7195 He is also the angel of the sun, yes. He has a number of things he presides over. One of them is the sun, one of them is divine judgment, one of them is the keeper of Hell who oversees the punishments of fallen angels, and a few others. I just found his connection to the Four Last Things to be the most interesting with regards to this movie 🙂
@@kalaegambol7195He's the angel of light
@@LykouDanthat may connect to the drawing Jair did, and the paper cutouts the school children made, of them gathered around the evil as they walk towards the sun
Uriel is also an extremely typical name in Argentina
The word in the original lenguage for the Rotten is "encarnado" wich can mean "incarnated" but can also mean "ingrown" like an ingrown nail...or a demon.
Also, the brothers call them "embichado" wich is kinda of a rural term for something that has bugs or parasites inside, kinda like "infested"
It's the same way in French: incarné = incarnated, ongle incarné = ingrown nail
In Portuguese encarnado also means incarnated, the other meaning being reddish, as something blood red or of the colour of flesh. Also, an ingrown nail is said unha encravada. Curiously, the root word, cravo, not only translates to nail but also to carnation (the flower), so one is left to wonder if there's an etymological link between the words.
It’s easy to miss but it’s possible Santino was jimmy’s son, the entire movie he’s in the same emotional state until he sees Sabrina eating Santino then he breaks down then it’s revealed they were having an affair. Also in the phone call she mentions a broken son but doesn’t say anything about Santino
Good catch! I like that take and it fits logically into the narrative.
She said you took my children and i want them back.....
@@Leoprincess3038bc they are all HER children. But one has a different dad possibly…..
Also she said on phone that she cheated on him and fucked everyone
Yup, she said she cheated on him with everyone
I found it very aethetically pleasing that Pedro's jacket is that specific shade of red, mirroring the beast at the end of the movie, covered in blood after being born.
The red sun in the drawing from the autistic son = the red son birthed to complete the 7. In biblical numerology 7 representing completeness/fullness.
As an Argentinian I'm really proud of this director and his incredible work.
Bro I almost fainted when I watched Atterados by this director. And just watched this movie but I didn’t know it was the same director until I looked it up. Argentina really has great stuffs. I have watched few romantic movies also and they were great. Left me with a lump in my throat.
Judging by this movie and Terrified, you guys don't fuck around.
Amazing.
Saludos a Argentina desde EU!
Argentinos que buena película!! Saludos de EU soy mexicano/uruguayo so somos mitad hermanos 😂😂
I like that these people, while definitely loving their children, keep failing them and not listening when they’re told not to do this or that. They blindly keep making terrible choices and ignore what’s going on with the kids. It feels like a reference to poor parenting and how it can majorly effect children, that it can even follow some into adulthood to make the same mistakes.
It's human nature. Deep down we all know what the right thing to do usually is, but most of the times we are too weak to do them
Did anyone else get underlying feminist vibes from this movie? With the men ignoring women and acting on emotions, women and children end up dying because of them
@@josermtzhow does that relate to feminism
@@josermtzNo. I think conservative media just really f***ed up your mind.
@@josermtzseems like a huge reach you're trying to make but I'm not seeing it, no
Between an expert at killing demon told me to stay and a creepy little kid told me to go elsewhere. Geez, I wonder who I should listen to.
Yeah like we can excuse all other mistakes but that one? That's just unforgivable.
Yep that’s when I started disliking the movie. It’s just so out of place and out of character.
All of this trouble could have avoided if they would just listened
tbf, Ruiz didn't listen first. The way the camera is behind him in that scene, the goat's ears a framed above Ruiz's head like devil horns.
@@kurks001at first, i thought the goat became bigger lol
As in life in general😂
That would be a fanatically boring movie
Almost all horror movies would suffer from logic
@@a.nobodys.nobody nah, they have horrors with logically characters and decisions if they have without, it's just poor writing.
funny little thing, at 5:50 you can see the shot was done in reverse as the goats hair reaches up to grab the gun barrel.
Nice observation
I didn't see that, nice catch
Missed that. Very easy to miss. Good catch
In the car where the grandma is naming different names of demons Jair also named Azrael again. You only catch it with the subtitles on.
Also the drawing Jair had is pretty much what happened at the end of the school scene.
The dog scene is one of the most nail biting scenes I've ever seen and everyone saw that coming from a mile away and it was still effective af lol
Didn't even notice the dog smelling his "infected" clothes, leading him to attack. That's why I love this channel.
Try paying attention to the things you watch
@@GZP1023haha. seriously. Pedro is trying to be careful by setting his clothes on fire but lets the dog sniff them beforehand? What the hell Pedro??!!
@@GZP1023 yeah i dont know how he missed that...
@@purplevincent4454 Probably checking their phone every few minutes like all those social media addicts.
@@Glotttispeople like you are insufferable LMAO
Watching Pedro is like watching a playthrough of a Quantic Dream game (detriot become human, beyond two souls, heavy rain) where they purposely make the wrong choices/deliberately missing QTEs.
This was a blind watch for me. I was presently surprised and confused as to why I haven't heard more noise around the movie. While watching the movie it felt very familiar, now I realize its because of the director. I had no idea the director behind Terrified, also brought us this. Great job as always FoundFlix.
Same for me. But I accidentally watched it without subtitles lol. Still was a interesting watch, even tho I couldn't understand what anyone was saying. But I was guessing probably some possession thing was going on with a little mix of zombie stuff in there.. I'll have to rewatch it with subtitles
If you put on the subititle for the film, Jair is apparently saying one of the demons names repeatedly when hes in the car.
He kept saying azrael and the old lady later said he was possessed
Best scenes was when the special child talk like a normal person, unexpected, really frightening
And later, suddenly looks at his dad with very clear and awake eyes
The dog scene and the mom with the son scene..
I’ve seen so much gore in movies but something about gore with kids just makes it so much more unsettling.. Probably because few movies have the balls to hurt/kill kids and show it on screen, but this movie seemed to proudly display it 💀
Yeah its jarring, but not like in a "hell yeh edgy lololol killing kids" but in a way that makes sense and not there as only shock value.
Yeah that’s something I appreciate a lot in horror movies. When kids get ruined. Not because I particularly like watching that, but because it brings a whole new level of realism in the sense that there’s nothing truly stopping kids from being hurt in real life. Yet they always scrape by relatively unharmed in movies.
Bruh, trust me it's just the U.S. that is scared of going there. There is tons of foreign movies out there that are brutal with kids
There are consequences to releasing and showing movies which imply the torture and killing of Kids and animals.....
@@malikjw1 id prefer that anger be aimed at REAL people torturing REAL animals and kids on film.
my dawg, if I were Satan at that moment, I would even let Pedro go; like, holy shit, what a way to help me, thanks!
his worst punishment is letting him live after all he went throug by his own selfish acctions...
He did, actually. He even marked him, as if thinking: " this adult here is one of the books" 😂
This movie was by far my favorite demon possession movie of all time. I wanna know more of the lore of this world
Thanks for covering this movie.
It brings me joy to see a movie from my country getting worldwide attention.
This movie's atmosphere was amazing, and Uriel's appearance was the hook to really rattle me! The roles rules, doubt, fear, and panicked self-damaging action play in the film remind me of my own struggles with mental health. I've never plugged a gas vent, but I relate to Pedro. Pedro's entire trial seems like a protracted version of The Moment before trying to end it; feeling constricted, powerless, yet having to do Something in the throes of pain...but this time Pedro's Something was bad news for everyone.
This director is killing with his Argentinian Horror movies. If haven't checked it out yet, Aterrados is also an amazing watching with great atmosphere
Praying for healing, and just know that your life matters ❤
I honestly saw the dog thing coming, and it made it worse. The effects for that part made it so intense.
Yes, the fact they kept going back to what the dog was doing, being petted, listening in to arguments etc, I kinda knew something like that was going to happen. Yes I agree, what happened was so much worse and intense than what I had in my mind, in this case what I was imagining was so much more benign that what was shown. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie.
Yea i was waiting for something to happen but i didn't expect to be this effective
From my understanding, he gave him the "First" mark of the beast. Since he is reborn, the count starts over. He was allowed to leave because even if he didnt realize it, he was one of his most faithful servants the entire movie. The last cleaner lady told him, the beast doesn't always do it one way, and manipulates people to do his deeds also. He always choose the WORSE/BEST way to help the beast spread and expand. ALSO maybe he too is autistic.
You don't create enough videos. You're my favorite channel to watch. Super enjoyable and not obnoxious.
Quality over quantity but it's so hard to wait for that quality. Totally agree.
Minus his annoying voice lol 😅
@@resevoirdogCertainly isn't any more annoying than a twat commenting the same thing numerous times.
@@resevoirdog Don't watch then....
@@NotTheGrimmReaper lmao relax I like the channel he just happens to have the most annoying voice ever. It could be Fred Flintstone the host I couldn't care less
When a serial killer breaks into Pedro’s house, he definitely runs upstairs instead of out the open front door. Lol
Me and my friends were just browsing for some horror and decided to watch this one and DAMN we were blown away. This was so good
I found it SO interesting that the men basically werent surprised and the mention of no more churches is a subtle bit GREAT but of world building.
I actually think one of the scariest moments of the film was when Jair is caught having eaten his grandmother and his eyes flick to and focus on Pedro for a split second, revealing that he is actually just mimicking being autistic. It’s really subtle and well-done, and very disturbing.
Why was evil not killing Pedro while everyone was getting killed the children killed that lady but not Pedro while he was right there
@@Jaywant811 Mirta explains some people are more susceptible to the evil than others. Some people can't get technically possessed, but their fears still give power to the evil.
@@corina1244 so in a way he was immune to evil
@@Jaywant811 basically yes, to the possession part at least. the evil could still use his mind to cause him pain tho, just from the outside.
I agree 100%, that part was chilling af and follows me still
I was watching this movie with my family and I said in the beginning “nah once the autistic kid starts speaking regular Spanish, I know someone getting bodies” and the grandma got fucking bodies bro really walked in there normal talking about some I’m hungry and feeling a bit chilly, grandma heard bro conversing with her and knew she was cooked, like how u make someone speaking normally scary and tense. W movie
I love it when no one is safe in horror movies, everyone can get it; kids, animals, babies, no one is safe. Makes the threat feel real.
Yeah. Quiet place played it really well. Set the tone of the whole movie
I LOVE the fact that you're still covering movies like this. You are the 🐐, and nothing like the suicide by farmer goat towards the beginning of this movie.
i’m from argentina (where the movie is also from) and i feel so proud! the acting, the photography, it all took me back to when we went camping in the countryside as kids and you would hear all kinds of stories at night! truly recommend watching it in it’s original language
At the end we were under the impression that Pedro burnt Jair in the fireplace. Jimmy walks and looks through the door to inside and breaks down. There is then smoke billowing from the chimney. Anyone else think the same??
I think most ppl saw something big with the dog coming ever since he sniffed the clothes and the way the camera focus kept shifting back and forth. Great scene!!!
Yeah they def telegraphed that one
Yeah that's called suspense and buildup lol.
@@donventura2116 there was a build-up but no suspense.
The part where you see the mom with the little boy…. Wow… haunting as hell. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Waaait, so being autistic just ends the possession in a stalemate?
Demon: WTF HOW DO I STEER THIS BODY!?!
Kid with ADHD: butterfly! What was I doing?
Demon: FUUUUUCK!
Dude is it weird I fall asleep to your videos? I just relax and listen to descriptions of people dying lmao. Your voice is relaxing
Just watched the movie and immediately ran to youtube to see if it was here, you never disappoint!
This movie was like a new genre.....like anxiety thriller horror. I loved it
Bad writing has been around for a long time there was nothing new about this
Wah, wah, wah.
@@elvangulley3210dam ur going into every comment hating. If ur not a fan of the movie then just don’t watch or support the content. But the fact that ur goin outta ur way to hate is crazy
@@elvangulley3210what was bad about it?
@@a.nobodys.nobody the way they made the protagonist the dumbest man on earth breaking every rule he and everyone living in that world know works for no reason even as he sees ignoring those rules cause disaster and death I can understand maybe breaking one rule but not all of them
This movie was soooo good! I’m so glad I watched it. I went into it blind and honestly, it’s the best decision.
I also loved Terrified and hate how I have to clarify to every single person I talk to that I don't mean Terrifier... but yeah this movie was another win from Rugna!
2nd Terrified would've been nice too. Even though I appreciated the mystery behind the terror
It was awesome, both parts. Also they already announced a third one, which will probably be the goriest movie of all time. Cant wait!
The dog mauling and dragging away that child literally gave me nightmares!
The drawing of "kids and the sun" was the ending scene of the evil and ths kids coming out of the school. Which was also the drawing that jamair had.
You forgot the moment when Jair got possessed. When the grandmother was naming the evil he said the demons name started with an A.
7:31 the clock shows 44 til 7pm. 44 min later in the film Pedro is decieved by the young boy telling him to go to the traffic circle, which sets off the events that seal their failure at the school, leading to the birth of the Red Son, for him to complete of the group of... 7.
Tf? 🤨🤔😑😒👎
I see the upload and immediately watch before watching your video. Thank for turning me to so many great movies I would never have tried!
Ive been waiting for you to cover this movie, this movie is awesome and i knew you were gonna be covering it the second i heard of it saw the teaser and watched it myself, crazy that i managed to watch it before you uploaded a cover of the movie!
Pedro did it to himself. Reacts on impulse without thinking first. Glad the woman got a restraining order we can clearly see he has tendencies
Yeah, and he foolishly went to his ex wife’s house and thought she was just going to hand over the kids to him. And he should have immediately burned the old clothing after he had undressed. Or not gone there at all.
Yeah he is a fking moron (that character) zero sympathy for him.
@@zukini8763he didn't ask her to simply give the children away, he said that EVERYONE had to get out of there immediately, not to mention that he also shouted several times that he needed to get rid of his clothes but the other two ignored him and continued arguing and after he spoke about the possessed no one believed him and they simply called him crazy and it's not like the possessed were something new, everyone knew about their existence and the danger they represented, in short everything that went wrong in this film happened because no one listened to each other or followed the rules, preferring to make decisions based on emotions, which led everyone to damnation
BROOOOO, when his son lets the necklace fall out of his mouth then looks up at his Dad at the end💀💀💀💀
Pedro.....YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!!!!!
If this movie was a game, then Pedro basically on purpose achieved the "bad ending" in that last 10ish mins
Love a new Found Flix, best time after work I could ask for.
Moral lesson don’t bring pedro in missions, he’ll totally f*ck it up. 😂
Every time he uploads I get so excited. I used to binge these in middle school
Nice. I'm Argentine, born here, live here. You nailed it, completly. You have a new suscriber.
“Demon infected man about to give birth “…… was enough for me to be scared…. Yet enough for me to get my security blanket cuz I’m gonna watch this 😂❤
Pedro was the definition of an idiot. Piss me off when he left that woman on the stage to go find a axe 😂
If Pedro knew the ex was damned, why even answer her phone call? Some decisions in horror movies I just can't understand 🤷♀️
They make that the plot has to roll on.
There's a part in the movie where he doesn't believe she actually died, because he was the only one to see her die and he was going mad
@@antocastro5107 He probably wanted to believe she and specially his baby girl were still alive and that he imagined the whole thing
Realistically most of us would answer outta curiosity. And like another comment mentioned, he may have thought that maybe he was going crazy since he didn’t confirm with anyone else what happened to Sabrina. So worth answering. That being said, I would’ve hung up immediately after she started talkin mad shit
@dracodaym715 except possession is a very public and well-known threat in that world. There's gov't protocols to turn off city lights, the abolition of churches, children songs to teach kids the dangers and rules, and a once public organization, the cleaners. Pedro should not have taken that phone call. He saw the possessed, dumped its body, heard Ruiz died, saw the dog attack, leo shooting the dog and crashing into his wife. Zero reason to answer that phone call. The reason he answered is b/c his character is dumb, everything he does is a mistake. I don't think any of his actions are meant to be explained by logic but rather his own ineptitude and poor decisions which is why he's the chosen tool of manipulation by the demons.
please continue to make more videos. I just love watching your videos even as background noise while I’m doing other things. something about the voice and the connotation in the way you explain everything. You’re really great at what you do. 🙏🏻😎
Pedro really pissed me off like if you're such a coward and scared you'd listen to the cleaner rather than following the obvious demon says. When the cleaner screamed dont leave me alone I wished I could pull Pedro's hair and drag him back to the cleaner
I personally found Pedro's constant idiocy detracted from my enjoyment. I get that he was being manipulated by the demon, and there was likely some bigger point about people not learning, but his incomprehensible stupidity in the school scene really took me out of the movie. One other thing I didn’t understand was the goat scene. The goat they were pointing at kept changing, it seemed, and didn’t look particularly notable. What was it they saw (before scaring the rest of the herd away)?
Maybe it's just because I've had to deal with some extreme unfortunate situations before, but I just can't ever empathize with people making stupid decisions because of emotional mistakes. If you're in a survival situation, stop fucking feeling things and just focus on surviving. Anyone who's a hindrance needs to be left behind, no exceptions. But emotions are what makes us humans, so that's pretty hard to do.
lol are you fucking for real acting tough in youtube comments
crazy concept here, not everyone is YOU. i can also stay relatively calm during emergencies since i worked in some health care related stuff, but not everyone can. this dude was trying to keep his entire family alive and was fighting against an incomprehensible demon. which i am very sure you have never experienced (the demon shit at least)
the rotten even tells him that he needs to hurry and get to his son, despite it knowing it already killed him. they already established that the demon cant possess them but it CAN look into their minds and know every fear and trauma they have. so while it might seem stupid at the time, he was in a hurry and thought the risk would worth the pay off. he literally had the tear the entire stage apart with a tiny ass hammer while his son was with a horrifically violent demon
It always amazes me how the main character never listens to anyone even when they have all of the information available to them.
I saw this movie by accident and I've been waiting for this video. This movie is more brutal than this video can ever depict.
I watched this movie with my husband on New years lol. Way to start my year off right, lol. We really stumbled on this movie. I've never heard about it. We just looked up good scary movies, and this popped up on Google. It was soooooo good. The best part is that there are really no cheap jump scares that other movies rely on. This movie is so disturbing with subtle things. The scene with the dog 😮. The scene where his autistic son walks in the house and speaks👀. The scene with the mother eating her kid😱. The scene where Pedro's dumb azz leaves the woman😡. The scene where the fat man raises his head out of the stage🥶. Pedro pulling his mothers hair out his sons mouth😢. Once the movie was over, you still felt your hair standing up and an eerie feeling looming over you. I watch a lot of scary movies, but this I will always recommend first to people.
I would love to hear what happens after the end of the movie. I know it would steal some of the magic of the film, but I hate being left wondering when the world is really interesting. There's no way that a "beast" hasn't been born in that universe before. They have terms and knowledge of such a scenario. The Cobra monks sound super cool, and I would love to ear more about this cult/secret society.
Sometimes you just have to take what they give you and then jump to another story. If not, you end up getting "Fast and Furious 11".
Title: When Shadows Return
**Prologue:**
The village had barely begun to heal from the horrors that Pedro and Jaime had inadvertently unleashed. The land, once fertile and vibrant, now lay under a perpetual shadow, as if the very earth remembered the evil that had walked upon it. The villagers whispered of the "Rotten" and the demonic infection that had nearly consumed them all. But evil, once awakened, is not so easily put to rest.
**Chapter 1: The Omen**
It began with the livestock. Animals that had survived the initial chaos started behaving strangely. Cows refused to graze, sheep huddled together in fear, and the dogs howled at the moonless sky. Pedro, now the reluctant leader of the village, couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. He had seen the signs before.
One night, as Pedro patrolled the outskirts of the village, he stumbled upon a sight that chilled him to the bone. A circle of dead birds, their bodies twisted and contorted, lay in the middle of a clearing. In the center, a single black feather stood upright, defying the laws of nature. Pedro knew this was no ordinary omen. The evil had returned.
**Chapter 2: The Return**
Jaime, who had left the village in search of answers, returned with grim news. He had found an old hermit who spoke of an ancient curse, one that could only be broken by confronting the source of the evil. The brothers realized that their previous actions had merely delayed the inevitable. The demon was not defeated; it was merely biding its time.
The villagers, though terrified, rallied behind Pedro and Jaime. They prepared for the worst, fortifying their homes and arming themselves with whatever they could find. But deep down, they knew that no amount of preparation could protect them from what was coming.
**Chapter 3: The Descent**
As the days grew shorter and the nights longer, the village was plunged into darkness. Strange figures were seen lurking in the shadows, and the air was thick with the stench of decay. Pedro and Jaime led a small group into the heart of the forest, where they believed the source of the evil lay.
They found an ancient, crumbling temple, hidden beneath the roots of a massive tree. The air inside was suffocating, and the walls seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy. As they ventured deeper, they encountered grotesque creatures, twisted and deformed by the demonic presence. The group fought valiantly, but the odds were against them.
**Chapter 4: The Confrontation**
In the deepest chamber of the temple, Pedro and Jaime came face to face with the demon. It was a monstrous being, its body a writhing mass of darkness and despair. The brothers realized that they could not defeat it with brute force alone. They needed to confront their own fears and guilt, the very emotions that the demon fed upon.
With a surge of determination, Pedro and Jaime confronted their past mistakes, acknowledging the pain they had caused. The demon, sensing their resolve, began to weaken. The brothers, drawing upon their inner strength, managed to banish the demon back to the abyss from whence it came.
**Epilogue:**
The village slowly began to recover, but the scars of the past would never fully heal. Pedro and Jaime, though hailed as heroes, knew that the battle against evil was never truly over. They had learned that darkness could never be completely vanquished, only kept at bay.
As the village rebuilt, a new sense of hope emerged. The villagers, united by their shared ordeal, vowed to remain vigilant. For they knew that when evil lurks, it is the strength of the human spirit that will ultimately prevail.
Pedro pissed me off. The rules were clear😂
Never ran across this channel surprisingly, subscribed, solid content
Your channel has come a LONG way. Coming from a recommended video from many years ago and then now. Great great job.
When Sabrina was eating Santino's brains like popcorn my jaw was on the floor, this film was so good!!
90% of the movies you cover I haven't even heard of and probably would never see, but your videos are super entertaining and well made so i watch all of them.
Just finished watching this and the breaking point for me was Pedro going to get that axe. It literally couldn't have been simpler for him.
Just drag Uriel's body out a few inches and the whole thing would be over. After that, I gave up hope and lo and behold, he didn't disappoint by unleashing the beast.
Well done, Pedro. You doomed everyone from the start.
Yeah just lift a 200kg body infested with a demon from an undergrown place filled with dead bodies. Average man can barely lift his own weight, Pedro was probably somewhere around 80-90kg. Remember it took 3 of them to barely move Uriel in the first place with the help of a sheet. There was no chance for Pedro to get that body out of there by himself. Also all the kids griefing and the old lady yelling, anyone would've panicked in that situation
I absolutely loved this movie! Basically a non-stop thrill ride, where absolutely anything could happen and no one was safe.
I think Jair was possessed at the moment the grandma called the devil name Azrael. And in his drawing 14:26, that foreshadowing the last scene when devil reborn and leaving with the kids. The mark on Pedro can’t be washed just to show how extremely unclean the devil is, everything will become corrupted on its path.
Let's all huddle around the warm campfire🔥👻 while we hear a spooky story from found flix!
YES! FINALLY! I've been waiting for *you specifically* to tackle this movie.
Great coverage, per the norm. I remember watching this movie and being really impressed by it overall. But MAN Pedro was like the physical embodiment of the Bad Decision trope. I just got so frustrated as the movie went on. I still enjoyed this take on possession while completely agreeing with you on the thin lore building. I am of the mind that the world the characters live in is already dying/dead. It is just taking its sweet time falling completely into ruin. And our boy Pedro really helped move it along by the end of the film. I could totally see another movie in the realm. Maybe a redemption arch for Pedro. He and his brother can be the last Cleaners on the earth...
I was so pissed at him for abandoning Mirta
This movie is nuts. Glad we got a crazy movie like this
The parts that are unexplained give this movie mystery and more tension, better horror. It’s a masterpiece.
Terrified is one of the most underrated , best horror movies I've ever seen. Truly. Almost perfect.
This movie was really good. Didn't realize it was the same director. Really cool. Good 2 movies
Just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put in. You are appreciated.
I have just finished watching this film. Several times I ended up shouting at the screen, " What do you think you're doing? " and calling the main guy an idiot. He just couldn't follow basic instructions.
I didn't interpret Ruiz's Wife killing him and herself as her being possessed. I felt she was trying to prevent the spread, knowing what would happen because he used a firearm.
Also , the mark left on Pedro's forehead at the end is clearly whatever's Demony Spanish for "Useful Idiot".
Loving Demián's stuff! I heard a sequel to Terrified is coming next.
10:54 “well, that’s pretty catchy” i dont know what the word for it is, but this guy has mastered the opposite of sarcasm
For the first time in a long time I actually saw the movie before the EE came out! I loved it! And yeah... you had like ONE job Pedro... ONE job!!!! 😂
In the scene where the grandma is naming fallen angels. After she is told to stop, with subtitles on, you can see someone says Azazel. I thought it was Jair that says it but no idea
I don’t always want/expect sequels to good films, but I feel that the world building with this one has so much potential.
I think a prequel would be great.
This feels like falling over stairs and hitting EVERY SINGLE FUCKING STAIR on the way down. When you think that it cant get worse, OH BOY, IT GETS WORSE.
Why can I close UA-cam but FoundFlix keeps playing even they know he’s the goat
