    Coincidentally (or perhaps not) The Book of Enoch, as well as Hebrew and Christian Folklore ranks the "Sons of God" from Genesis as part of a group of angels/gods called "The Watchers."

    Kind of reminds me of mother! in terms of the theme. Weird, but draws you in. There's more to horror than giving you jump scares. There's always underlying meanings to be dissected.

      Alot of people get that you have to read between the lines with films try and figure stuff out but then there is cheese like this film. felt like I had seen most of before If you haven't seen "From" the tv show then watch it very similar feels like that show was ripped off I did figure some of the twist if you can call It that this film isn't that good.

    Did no one notice how , she just randomly was sent with a parrot by a boss we never actually see , was he a fairy and sending her there, go back, check, his face is either blurred/out of focus or from his back , I think there's more to the boss that we don't get..

    Would love to hear your take on MGM's From! I read some theories that link the story to The Watchers and found your video very compelling! I know it's an ongoing show, so you can't really analyze it with certainty, but it would be very interesting to hear what are your thoughts and theories about the plot.

    I love folk horror, especially when it’s based on ethnic European mythology/folklore. I live in America now, but was born and raised in Eastern Europe. I’m half Slav myself, and Slavic folklore is full of these fascinating old ancestral tales and myths. I’m glad you’ve brought up the Nephilim who were created by fallen angels (the watchers) and human women

  • @yasisoufi

    Finally a real true semiotic analysis of this film. I really appreciate every bit of your insight and thank you so much for sharing it . I was wondering about the meaning of Watcher and gaze and voyeurism, also the Lacanian mirror and self realization. How about looking at the changeling and Mina’s twin as a Jungian archetypes ? The creatures as our shadow self? Looking within?

      @chamoisauce7491 6 місяців тому

      while it may be obvious to some, i think some just forget to think abt that possibility cause they’re so drawn into the story and the “wildness” that’s going on we just see them as human and are stuck wondering what the fairies are as we don’t truly know until near the end. loved this movie was so invested

    @muffyscrazyworld2707 5 місяців тому

    While watching it I also saw the connections to the bible. M night Shyamalan always has biblical undertones in his movies so his daughter doing the same makes sense.
    Some of us believe in the fae in the sense that they are similar to the nephilim so some people can take it as only fiction but these stories and lore all have to come from something...

    • @ThorogoodFilms
      @ThorogoodFilms  5 місяців тому

    I didn't see the twist, really. I'll admit that, but to say horror/fantasy when this movie leans more into a thriller is upsetting.
    Especially when the psychological part was very mute. So I'd say fantasy/thriller.
    Overall, i enjoyed the movie n hope to see her grow as a director.
