My favorite detail about this movie is that Sophie went to rehab and her friends abandoned her. The same friends who enabled the drug problems in the first place. And then when Sophie shows up again, they're all holding their breath.
I also like that it leads to one of the few times in the movie where bigotry actually does play a role and isn't just being used byt the characters as a tool.
@@vikramprasanna8908 oh sure, im not saying Sophie wasn't responsible for her own addiction, she went to rehab. Just pointing out they are really bad friends lol
Pretty much, and unfortunately it’s not uncommon. I saw my best friend through each of her rehab stints until she died. It’s that much harder to kick when you have almost nobody on your side. It disgusted me how quick people were to drop her when her addiction was at its worst instead of trying to understand what she was going through.
The kids I work with (thank god no one has a gun-- yet) will hit one another, turn around, look at me and say, "I didn't hit him!" Now THAT'S how you gaslight, people.
I love how they called Greg an “Afghan Vet” which they probably got from them hearing he took care of an Afghan Hound for his job- that gag clicked for me a few minutes after they revealed he was a Veterinarian’s Assistant-
Oh lmao. Never caught that So he’s technically is an Afghan Vet at the same time? Considering he is a veterinarian, or soon-to-be ig, who happens to care for an Afghan. Thats actually hilarious
This movie is a fucking FEAST of tiny details. There are SO many little moments that you barely catch the first time through that could incriminate any of the characters at any moment. It's genuinely fantastic and I really hope more people here actually take the time to watch it for themselves. This movie deserves the recognition.
Yeah I really thought that my money was on Alice because they said she had a Podcast and if theres one thing people love its True Crime podcasts so I was thinking she'd want to do the Classic Ghostface move and pretend to be the sole survivor and then use it to boost views on her Podcast, but I definitely like the movies much more original and funny ending more
I love how in his haste to imitate Greg David forgot the most important part of what Greg did. Moved the blade away from his body, which I I think perfectly demonstrates how much more knowledgeable Greg is then everyone else that he remembered the most important blade safety rule and they didn't.
I think this movie is genius in a way that a lot of people kept guessing seriously about who was the killer but that sudden revelation that they just killed each other for no reason was actually shocking but totally realistic. Some people quickly jump to crazy conclusions & theories and it leads to terrible endings.
exactly! i went in expecting a murder mystery and slowly figured out what was going throughout the movie so when the twist was revealed i felt like it made perfect sense. but naturally the people who went in expecting a slasher movie were prob left disappointed and feeling tricked idk
I saw this in a theatre with a friend and the collective reaction to the twist was a choir of gasps before giggles and laughter started slowly fading in, absolutely loved it
I do wish I saw this movie in a cinema just for that ending, not to mention the extended buzzword filled argument. Both would have gotten big reactions like your cinema gave.
As a gen z kid, this movie was terrifyingly accurate to how people I know would react in a scenario like this. I was genuinely terrified because I could draw parallels between the characters and the people I know
I feel so bad for Greg specifically, the poor guy wanted to tag along and have fun. I was wondering why he was hanging out with people so much younger and less mature than him, after David started bothering me, I would have just went home and read a book
I didn't really feel bad for him because why the hell would he hang out with a bunch of youngsters plus they're dumb as hell. He's very endearing though.

True. She claims she only did it to protect Sophie and that she had to do it. No Bee, you didn’t. At most, you just needed to knock him out. Even then, Greg was totally calm and chill until the girls started viciously attacking him. Emma and Sophia literally just immediately accused him of killing David without even giving Greg a little bit of time to explain himself
I think it's to tie in to the theme of needing to fit in and go along with things even is you don't usually want to; the other characters were getting more and more agitated so she hopped to kill instead of knock out since David was already dead
@@superjackster0165 just knocking somebody out, is actually not a real thing. That is a movie thing. There is no specific amount of hitting somebody in the head that guarantees them being unconscious versus them dying.

The entire time I watched the movie, I kept thinking “if that person is the killer that would make no sense” about all of them so the fact that it was David who offed himself is hilarious Thanks for the 1k likes!!!
This movie just has so many little details that are so funny. Like the fact that Alice is so quick to accuse Jordan and Bee of being the killers but still defended Greg’s innocence to the rest of them. And then admits to everyone that she’s only known him for six weeks. Jordan must’ve not had that Libra moon too
I wanted to like Alice. But my god, she got on nerves. She has this annoying character trait where she repeatedly changes sides non-stop with no explanation. Whenever someone is accused of being the killer, Alice says, “That’s true. She has a point.” She does that over and over throughout the whole film and just wouldn’t shut up. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on whose side you’re on
Alice actually had only known Greg for two weeks! Bee and Sophie had been dating for six weeks. Alice mentions it in the kitchen after Greg dies (but before Emma died I think).
For anyone wondering why the kill counts have been changed from Last Night in Soho and Nope to Malignant and Prey, It’s likely because both Last Night in Soho and Nope are Universal films and James mentioned he had a hard time posting The Black Phone kill count (also a Universal film) because they started allowing people to only use so much footage from their films in videos
as a gen z myself... that ending feels too real... one person did something dumb and then another dies from accusations and the panic from no one asking any real questions leads to more harm because everyone wants results without taking the steps to see the results due to a lack of patience
Seeing Pete Davidson with all his tattoos on display makes me really appreciate the work of the makeup team on this movie, like damn! It looks so seamless!
Rachel Sennott as Alice is definitely the best performance and best character in this movie! She was so funny and how she always switched sides was hilarious. I really hope she gets more acting roles.
I wanted to like Alice. But my god did she get on my nerves. She is so hypocritical and constantly contradicting herself. Every time that someone was accused of being the murderer, Alice would immediately agree with the accuser and say, “That’s true. She has a point”. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on who’s side you’re on
@@Schnipps But still, it raises the question of why none of the other 4 girls became suspicious of Alice and questioned her about being the killer because her repeatedly changing sides should've immediately made her the primary suspect
i feel so bad for bee honestly. the poor girl was terrified out of her mind and trying to protect her girlfriend and inadvertently started a massacre, all while having to deal with the knowledge that she was cheating on her and trying to pin the blame on her
I somewhat sympathize with Bee as well, although I think she was coming from a place of insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with the rest of the group
Agreed on almost every episode. ESPECIALLY THIS ONE. I have some issues with a few Doctor Squatch ones because they are SO science-phobic. I don’t remember which one where James pretends he doesn’t know niacin is vitamin b, or Chelsea being like, “These aren’t even words!” When reading soap ingredients (which were all chemicals that naturally occur in coconut oil). Science is important. Nothing wrong with wanting more natural or vegan ingredients or without artificial scents, but chemistry is cool. And super necessary for cool horror special effects.
I never noticed this, but Bee is *almost* vindicated pointing a gun at Sophie at the end. Sophie possibly killed Emma, or at least knew how Emma died - and chose not to speak up and let Bee take the fall when Alice locked Bee out of the house.

@@superjackster0165 sort of the point if her character lol. A character doesn't need to be likeable to be fantastic. Rachel Sennot's performance was literally one of the best of the year and the writing was so good. That Alice switches sides so quickly is core to who she is as a person. Also, she speaks/acts/looks like people Iike A LOT of Gen Z girls.
So, two things lmao a) that is my FAVORITE sponsor segment you’ve done yet. Chelsea’s dedication to the bit was impressive! b) I honestly get why they would want to turn off the news, it’s basically the only thing that doesn’t seem too spoiled or callous to me. Hurricane parties are MEANT to be a distraction from what can be a really nervewracking ordeal. I dunno, it definitely hits different if you’re from hurricane country.
justifying feeling so threatened by greg with a "he's 6'4 of muscle and we're one-wet-tshirt-away-from-100-lbs" would have been so much more logical but i love how jordan immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion it tells so much about her character
It reminds me of how people who blow nothing-burgers out of proportion are the ones with the stinkiest skeletons in their closet Like the youtuber SquimpusMcgrimpus, they were allowing another youtuber to remake their seried until that youtuber made a joke about another content creator being dead, sure the joke wasn’t funny but it wasn’t heinous or deplorable, it was just a bad joke but Squimpud made a whole song and dance about how “disgusting” it was and how the youtuber no longer had permission to remake the series Then it was revealed that Squimpus was a groomer, something that is way worse than making an unfunny joke
3:55 I love how Chelsea starts sobbing and James decides that this was a good time to give viewers the Raycon code You can STILL hear Chelsea in the background when the code shows
I will say it is quite refreshing to have a cast of characters that are dislikable because they are written very well to serve that purpose instead of them being unlikable because they’re lazily written and one dimensional. I did began to watch this kill count before watching the movie but I’m glad I listened to James because it truly is better going into that movie without knowing anything. Truly A+ material even though I do feel a little mixed on the ending though I will say after experiencing said ending it truly was the most fitting way to end that roller coaster of a movie.
Honestly, as a Gen Z myself, I was expecting this movie to be cringy as hell. But honestly, it was surprisingly accurate. The classic "gen Z lingo" worked SUPER well. I especially liked the "you're silencing me!", because that sounds like something I would say ironically to my friends 😅 Something a lot of people miss about Gen Z is the diversity (haha more lingo) of us. While some of us would say "gaslighing" as a joke, others would be serious, and others would complain about it. We all grew up on different parts of the internet, and where we congregated shows our humor and language. So, this movie was pretty accurate to the gen z experience imo, the "fighting over phone not gun" part was a bit silly, but considering how silly these characters are I don't mind.
Yeah same, the Gen z thing is very rarely actually portrayed accurately or not being slander, all of this movie was so enjoyable as a Gen z myself and the jokes were genuinely funny and not slid in to be forceful
It's fucked up cuz Gen z doesn't really have a culture. You're just children of the internet like we were. Everything you do is just a continuation of what we did with no discernable differences
I’m also gen z and I did find it cringy as hell though 😅 to each their own I guess. I’m not a fan of comedy as genre so maybe thats where my issue was. It just didn’t feel like anything actual people would say
I'm a millenial and I was sure this movie would be a lazy cringfest and potentially preachy movie thinking it's making witty commentary bout "kids these days" and the evils of "woke PC culture", phones, tiktok blah blah blah but this movie was so much smarter and fun than I anticipated.
You know, James, lots and lots and lots of things have made me happy in your references, but the Dear Evan Hanson reference at 10:50 has got to be my favorite so far. Top tier, buddy.
I feel bullied at how hard i tried guessing the killer (i was adamant it was Sophie having revenge on her old friends) and i was SO WRONG! That twist was frustrating, hilarious, and super tragic, cause it totally fits Pete Davidson😆
@@BrianaNicoleeI honestly thought it was gonna be Alice because of how she constantly kept changing sides every time that someone was accused of being the killer
I remember watching this film in theaters and when the ending twist was revealed I immediately thought to myself "Bruh..." Perfectly sums up the finale of the film
I called the twist about 2/3rds of the way through of there being no actual killer, but the reveal of how actually David died still caught me off guard.
For a modern day horror film that's actually a pretty clever twist at the end to find out that it was all mistake that's why I like Dale and Tucker so much because of how it played into the poor genre tropes but for this one to end up where they essentially were killed by accident or through sheer paranoia without an actual psychopathic killer is a clever twist
My wife and I were the only people laughing while watching it in the theater, it was incredibly funny to us that the ending confirmed our comedy reading

Because of this kill count, I went to watch this movie on streaming right away, just to watch this episode! This movie is a masterpiece. It kept me guessing through and through, and when the reveal came, I was shocked. This movie was so intelligent, destined to become a cult classic one day.
I love how in 9:46 James reference Lee's character (Greg) as the pie maker as a reference to his old acting job as a pie maker in Pushing Daisies. Also love how many references he made about the show with Lee's character
This Kill Count cleaned up a good amount of things in the movie that I was confused by. (And that Hunger Games reference was very well done) The announcement of this Kill Count was the cataylst to lead me to watch this movie, so I did, knowing next-to-nothing about it. And yeah, I loved it. But not for the reasons I expected to. I found it more suspenseful than funny overall (though I DID chuckle a few times)... until THAT reveal. Then yeah, I ended up finding it a lot funnier. I DEFINITELY want to rewatch this one; I honestly expect to find it even *funnier* on a second viewing. And that sponsor segment was CLASS, those are just getting better and better. It even tied in to the movie itself.
@@Spider-Man_234 An excellent recommendation, and I think everyone should read it, if only because it's a damn good book. Worth pointing out, though, that while Bodies Bodies Bodies is a comedy, And Then There Were None is viscerally cruel - in a very good way - about a bunch of very unpleasant people. Expect a very different tone.
Sarah Delappe is amazing, she visited my college last year and did this really cool artist talk with a small group of us from the playwriting class. She’s a really cool lady and her play The Wolves is extremely good

Like halfway through the movie I was like "hey wouldn't it be funny if whatshisname just killed himself dicking around with the sword and all of the killing was for nothing?" Literally the only time I have correctly predicted a plot twist, 10/10 movie and experience
So I had never heard of this movie until my old man texted me saying he hated it. I genuinely don’t get why, I thought it was really solid. Not the best by any means, but I thought it was really fun, and just HILARIOUS. Also James has found my weakness of liking him, Chelsea, and Zoran more than I dislike ad segments.
I think people who don't understand the "Gen-Z talk" like saying "silencing" "toxic" etc don't like it as much. My bf didn't like it as much as I did and he didn't laugh at the lines that I laughed at because he said that he didn't get it or get why it was funny. I think if you are/were part of the "liberal" tumblr(or now TikTock) group, you'll like it more because you can find the humor in things like "You're silencing me" and other buzzwords like that.
18:33 - This kind of easter egg is one of the reasons I watch these Kill Counts. I LOVED this film, although I feel the audience I saw it with were not in on the joke. I could not stop laughing at the final reveal but I was almost alone in that. Also, Pete Davidson also seems like a cool guy, I do appreciate his stan Up and he did a pretty good job on the film.
I love the touch of showing a brief still of the production people you mention like disasterpiece! Really helps put a name to the face even without a clip of them talking
I really liked how they handled the twist reveal - not too heavily foreshadowed, so it'll still surprise most people, but so firmly in-character that you're immediately like "oh, of course!"
I watched this with my friends, and none of us could’ve guessed the ending the scariest part is the fact that this is totally how we would act in this situation. (Maybe a little more rational)
I remember thinking that I was gonna not like the 3rd act. I was like it's gonna be revealed that someone is the killer and then a typical 3rd act fight will ensue. Little did I know I would see one of the best twists of the year. I loved this movie and damn what a year for horror!
This channel goes so hard. I'm sure everyone knows, but you can send your recommendations into James. I'm still waiting on a "deep blue sea" kill count lol
Another movie I probably wouldn't have watched if not for Deadmeat. This movie was pretty entertaining and the ending twist was brilliant. Really enjoyed it 😂
Love this channel. I can usually only listen so I never realized how much work goes into an episode. Keep up the good work, even though it may go unnoticed!
My favorite detail about this movie is that Sophie went to rehab and her friends abandoned her. The same friends who enabled the drug problems in the first place. And then when Sophie shows up again, they're all holding their breath.

So, so true. I think the issues with online culture come from being exposed to social issues purely online, while not really knowing anyone impacted by them in real life. That combination makes it easy to 1. get overly focused on language above anything else, 2. convince yourself you're a tolerant person even though you've never really been tested, and 3. make things about yourself (since you can't make it about the people in your life). This character group is perfect to explore that with. All young, well-off, and very sheltered.
To me, Bee really started it off. The group weren't actually going to kill Greg and then she just did it no hesitation.

No that part will be the next 10-20 years.
It's extremely faithful to how real Gen Zs act and talk. I like it
@@JohnJohnson-mf3dv ok? And in 10-20 years you’ll be dead 💀💀💀

@@arenagrenade4485 No I won't. I'll be quite alive when the pendulum comes swinging back to crush you.
The entire time I watched the movie, I kept thinking “if that person is the killer that would make no sense” about all of them so the fact that it was David who offed himself is hilarious
Thanks for the 1k likes!!!
1k likes and no replies??
@@bigmannnnn oh shoot my bad I didn’t realize I got so many likes😂
This movie just has so many little details that are so funny. Like the fact that Alice is so quick to accuse Jordan and Bee of being the killers but still defended Greg’s innocence to the rest of them. And then admits to everyone that she’s only known him for six weeks. Jordan must’ve not had that Libra moon too
I wanted to like Alice. But my god, she got on nerves. She has this annoying character trait where she repeatedly changes sides non-stop with no explanation. Whenever someone is accused of being the killer, Alice says, “That’s true. She has a point.” She does that over and over throughout the whole film and just wouldn’t shut up. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on whose side you’re on
Alice actually had only known Greg for two weeks! Bee and Sophie had been dating for six weeks. Alice mentions it in the kitchen after Greg dies (but before Emma died I think).
For anyone wondering why the kill counts have been changed from Last Night in Soho and Nope to Malignant and Prey, It’s likely because both Last Night in Soho and Nope are Universal films and James mentioned he had a hard time posting The Black Phone kill count (also a Universal film) because they started allowing people to only use so much footage from their films in videos
thanks mate
Oh wow very interesting to know!
Thanks, this is what I was thinking but nice to have some confirmation
Thanks
Which is interesting because I thought Warner Bros was pulling the same stunt-so how is he going to do Malignant?
Alice's body dysmorphia line was probably one of the biggest laughs I had last year. It's just a perfect Gen Z aside.
That line specifically got me laughing the hardest, too.
Probably doesn’t even know what that entails.
I hate that „oh I have x diagnosis because it’s nice now“
I love how this film poked fun at gen z'ers without feeling like an old man yelling at a cloud.
as a gen z myself... that ending feels too real... one person did something dumb and then another dies from accusations and the panic from no one asking any real questions leads to more harm because everyone wants results without taking the steps to see the results due to a lack of patience
I can tell you are gen-z due to the run on sentence. Gen-Z are known for being horrible at punctuation, grammer, spelling, etc.
Don't forget the drugs they were on
Seeing Pete Davidson with all his tattoos on display makes me really appreciate the work of the makeup team on this movie, like damn! It looks so seamless!
You mean skete?????
I have no idea why people hate Pete fr
@@Randomclipsposter Ye is a literal anti semite and possible Nazi, calling Pete a nickname Kanye came up with is dumb
@@DevanAshborne they're Ye dick riders that's why

I love how it keeps the audience as paranoid as the characters the whole time, keeping us in their heads as opposed to looking down on them.
I ALWAYS appreciate when a sponsor segment is written with entertainment in mind
This is a scam don’t believe
I appreciate it more when there’s no sponsor at all
@@supremeleader7863 well how do you expect them to make money
@@tavinprice2310 I know they need to do it it’s still annoying tho
@@supremeleader7863just skip over it
Rachel Sennott as Alice is definitely the best performance and best character in this movie! She was so funny and how she always switched sides was hilarious. I really hope she gets more acting roles.
I wanted to like Alice. But my god did she get on my nerves. She is so hypocritical and constantly contradicting herself. Every time that someone was accused of being the murderer, Alice would immediately agree with the accuser and say, “That’s true. She has a point”. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on who’s side you’re on
@@superjackster0165 I mean, she's on her side. She thinks it could be anyone, so anytime something logical is said she agrees with it.
@@Schnipps But still, it raises the question of why none of the other 4 girls became suspicious of Alice and questioned her about being the killer because her repeatedly changing sides should've immediately made her the primary suspect
i feel so bad for bee honestly. the poor girl was terrified out of her mind and trying to protect her girlfriend and inadvertently started a massacre, all while having to deal with the knowledge that she was cheating on her and trying to pin the blame on her
She was an idiot for killing Greg
@@BigShakh19 SHE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA KILL THEM FIRST!
I somewhat sympathize with Bee as well, although I think she was coming from a place of insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with the rest of the group
@@priinglescafe I mean, statistically, he was the most likely person to be a killer in the group!
Bro James telling me about raycon while Chelsea was crying actually killed me. These sponsor segments are the best.
I can't think of anyone who has better sponsor skits than Dead Meat. Whoever it is on the team that thinks of/writes them is hilarious
Agreed on almost every episode. ESPECIALLY THIS ONE.
I have some issues with a few Doctor Squatch ones because they are SO science-phobic. I don’t remember which one where James pretends he doesn’t know niacin is vitamin b, or Chelsea being like, “These aren’t even words!” When reading soap ingredients (which were all chemicals that naturally occur in coconut oil). Science is important. Nothing wrong with wanting more natural or vegan ingredients or without artificial scents, but chemistry is cool. And super necessary for cool horror special effects.
internet historian
I agree for the most part, but Brutal Mooses' Hello Fresh song will always be #1.
/love when companies let shows write their own adverts
@@keyboardwarrior8905 agreed
Internet historian has better ones but these are still great
I never noticed this, but Bee is *almost* vindicated pointing a gun at Sophie at the end.
Sophie possibly killed Emma, or at least knew how Emma died - and chose not to speak up and let Bee take the fall when Alice locked Bee out of the house.
Didn't Emma Trapped because she was so high?
@@Isabelle-hv6ny Sophie saw her fall and die, but came back later so she could pretend she found Emma like everyone else
@@melleen629Sophie was just awful. The fact that she refused to show Bee her texts is enough to prove that she cheated on her with Jordan
Alice was the best character of the movie for me, her dialogue was absolutely hilarious.

@@superjackster0165 Very intentional for what they are going for given the theme of the movie
the "YESSSSSSSSSSSS" at the start was so funny!
@@superjackster0165 sort of the point if her character lol. A character doesn't need to be likeable to be fantastic. Rachel Sennot's performance was literally one of the best of the year and the writing was so good. That Alice switches sides so quickly is core to who she is as a person. Also, she speaks/acts/looks like people Iike A LOT of Gen Z girls.
"how long have you known greg?"
"like...long."
So, two things lmao
a) that is my FAVORITE sponsor segment you’ve done yet. Chelsea’s dedication to the bit was impressive!
b) I honestly get why they would want to turn off the news, it’s basically the only thing that doesn’t seem too spoiled or callous to me. Hurricane parties are MEANT to be a distraction from what can be a really nervewracking ordeal. I dunno, it definitely hits different if you’re from hurricane country.
I appreciate that small nod James gave to Lee Pace being the pie maker in Pushing Daisies. Lee Pace is 100% always the right choice.
God, I don't think I've even run into any reference to that show since the writer's strike
@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 i've seen even less references to Wonderfalls, another one of Bryan Fuller's masterpieces
justifying feeling so threatened by greg with a "he's 6'4 of muscle and we're one-wet-tshirt-away-from-100-lbs" would have been so much more logical but i love how jordan immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion it tells so much about her character
It annoyed me how the girls just immediately accused Greg of killing David without even asking him or letting him explain himself
@@superjackster0165it’s almost like that’s the point of the scene or something..
It reminds me of how people who blow nothing-burgers out of proportion are the ones with the stinkiest skeletons in their closet
Like the youtuber SquimpusMcgrimpus, they were allowing another youtuber to remake their seried until that youtuber made a joke about another content creator being dead, sure the joke wasn’t funny but it wasn’t heinous or deplorable, it was just a bad joke but Squimpud made a whole song and dance about how “disgusting” it was and how the youtuber no longer had permission to remake the series
Then it was revealed that Squimpus was a groomer, something that is way worse than making an unfunny joke
@@higaiwokeru ugh thats just sickening, people put up such a front online and hide behind slogans and movements and whatnot.
He's actually 6'5
3:55 I love how Chelsea starts sobbing and James decides that this was a good time to give viewers the Raycon code
You can STILL hear Chelsea in the background when the code shows
I will say it is quite refreshing to have a cast of characters that are dislikable because they are written very well to serve that purpose instead of them being unlikable because they’re lazily written and one dimensional. I did began to watch this kill count before watching the movie but I’m glad I listened to James because it truly is better going into that movie without knowing anything. Truly A+ material even though I do feel a little mixed on the ending though I will say after experiencing said ending it truly was the most fitting way to end that roller coaster of a movie.
Honestly, as a Gen Z myself, I was expecting this movie to be cringy as hell. But honestly, it was surprisingly accurate. The classic "gen Z lingo" worked SUPER well. I especially liked the "you're silencing me!", because that sounds like something I would say ironically to my friends 😅 Something a lot of people miss about Gen Z is the diversity (haha more lingo) of us. While some of us would say "gaslighing" as a joke, others would be serious, and others would complain about it. We all grew up on different parts of the internet, and where we congregated shows our humor and language. So, this movie was pretty accurate to the gen z experience imo, the "fighting over phone not gun" part was a bit silly, but considering how silly these characters are I don't mind.
Yeah same, the Gen z thing is very rarely actually portrayed accurately or not being slander, all of this movie was so enjoyable as a Gen z myself and the jokes were genuinely funny and not slid in to be forceful
U pretty much read my mind lol
It's fucked up cuz Gen z doesn't really have a culture. You're just children of the internet like we were. Everything you do is just a continuation of what we did with no discernable differences
I’m also gen z and I did find it cringy as hell though 😅 to each their own I guess. I’m not a fan of comedy as genre so maybe thats where my issue was. It just didn’t feel like anything actual people would say
I'm a millenial and I was sure this movie would be a lazy cringfest and potentially preachy movie thinking it's making witty commentary bout "kids these days" and the evils of "woke PC culture", phones, tiktok blah blah blah but this movie was so much smarter and fun than I anticipated.
Just watched this movie, so good and the podcast episode was 10/10. Don’t stop making these kill counts they make so many ppl happy
You know, James, lots and lots and lots of things have made me happy in your references, but the Dear Evan Hanson reference at 10:50 has got to be my favorite so far.
Top tier, buddy.
I thought I was the only one who got that one 🤣
THAT ONE MADE ME CRACK UP
Fellow Theatre kids!
just realized i watched deh over a year ago now wow
I noticed it too
I feel bullied at how hard i tried guessing the killer (i was adamant it was Sophie having revenge on her old friends) and i was SO WRONG! That twist was frustrating, hilarious, and super tragic, cause it totally fits Pete Davidson😆
I honestly thought it was a two-person job & it was Sophie & Jordan 😭
@@BrianaNicoleeI honestly thought it was gonna be Alice because of how she constantly kept changing sides every time that someone was accused of being the killer
“Hi I’m Pete Davidson and this is jackass”
I remember watching this film in theaters and when the ending twist was revealed I immediately thought to myself
"Bruh..."
Perfectly sums up the finale of the film
“I have reception.”
This movie genuinely has one of the best plot twists in horror history it’s hilarious and insane
I called the twist about 2/3rds of the way through of there being no actual killer, but the reveal of how actually David died still caught me off guard.
For a modern day horror film that's actually a pretty clever twist at the end to find out that it was all mistake that's why I like Dale and Tucker so much because of how it played into the poor genre tropes but for this one to end up where they essentially were killed by accident or through sheer paranoia without an actual psychopathic killer is a clever twist
My wife and I were the only people laughing while watching it in the theater, it was incredibly funny to us that the ending confirmed our comedy reading
I think I laughed literally every time Alice opened her mouth 😆 2022 was such a great year for movies
It really was Especially for horror
I wanted to like Alice. But my god, she got on nerves. She has this annoying character trait where she repeatedly changes sides non-stop with no explanation. Whenever someone is accused of being the killer, Alice says, “That’s true. She has a point.” She does that over and over throughout the whole film and just wouldn’t shut up. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on whose side you’re on
Because of this kill count, I went to watch this movie on streaming right away, just to watch this episode! This movie is a masterpiece. It kept me guessing through and through, and when the reveal came, I was shocked. This movie was so intelligent, destined to become a cult classic one day.
This, right here, is a movie James likes. You can tell by the passion he has for the skits and all the jokes and whatnot.
Good to see.
Yo I actually LOVE that twist ending. Would NOT have seen that coming.
Dead Meat has the only sponsored segments that I never skip. Also, Zoran does an oddly hilarious death gurgle.
I love the sponsor segment. Yours and Zoran's friendship just makes me smile so wide. I love you guys on the deadmeat team!
I love how in 9:46 James reference Lee's character (Greg) as the pie maker as a reference to his old acting job as a pie maker in Pushing Daisies. Also love how many references he made about the show with Lee's character
This Kill Count cleaned up a good amount of things in the movie that I was confused by. (And that Hunger Games reference was very well done)
The announcement of this Kill Count was the cataylst to lead me to watch this movie, so I did, knowing next-to-nothing about it. And yeah, I loved it. But not for the reasons I expected to. I found it more suspenseful than funny overall (though I DID chuckle a few times)... until THAT reveal. Then yeah, I ended up finding it a lot funnier. I DEFINITELY want to rewatch this one; I honestly expect to find it even *funnier* on a second viewing.
And that sponsor segment was CLASS, those are just getting better and better. It even tied in to the movie itself.
This just shows how good Horror can be when you allow it to become something special
An accidental Who Done It with no killer is a pretty interesting concept
If you like that, i think you’ll like “And then there were none” by agatha christi
@@Spider-Man_234 An excellent recommendation, and I think everyone should read it, if only because it's a damn good book. Worth pointing out, though, that while Bodies Bodies Bodies is a comedy, And Then There Were None is viscerally cruel - in a very good way - about a bunch of very unpleasant people. Expect a very different tone.
the sponsor segments never fail to impress me and somehow get better with each one!
Great video as always!
“Did you just fucking shoot me”
“No”
That was amazing
That's a really clever ending. Spending the whole movie scared of something that doesn't exist.
I always appreicate how James and co always make the sponsor segments entertaining.
Sarah Delappe is amazing, she visited my college last year and did this really cool artist talk with a small group of us from the playwriting class. She’s a really cool lady and her play The Wolves is extremely good
The Wolves is so good. Got to see it on an actual stage they converted into bleachers and the stage proper was the pitch.
7:37 me when James announced the scream recounts
The best part is Alice screaming yes😂😂😂😂
So excited to finally see the kill count for this! I honestly went to see this in theaters on a complete ‘hell why not’ whim and ended up LOVING it
Me and my friends did the exact same thing lol
The sponsor segments are always better & better each release. Good job James.
One of my favorite movies of 2022 I was so confident with who I thought the killers were, but that plot twist changed everything
Same but the ending got me good😂
i love how creative you guys can get with the ads! i never end up skipping past them since they give me genuine laughs! kudos to yall and may zoran RIP (raycon in peace)
7:57
Gotta love how the Dutch name for the game translates to literally little murderer
It’s mad to see this channel grow more and more. Been here since 500 subs and now you’re almost at 6 million. Amazing work to all the dead meat team

The acting in that skit was a top tier James where is your award 3:40 I also felt his death
God I love how great these sponsor segments are, and Chelsea's great acting.

This might be the best sponsor segment yet. And that's saying something considering how incredible they've been recently!
Like halfway through the movie I was like "hey wouldn't it be funny if whatshisname just killed himself dicking around with the sword and all of the killing was for nothing?" Literally the only time I have correctly predicted a plot twist, 10/10 movie and experience
So I had never heard of this movie until my old man texted me saying he hated it. I genuinely don’t get why, I thought it was really solid. Not the best by any means, but I thought it was really fun, and just HILARIOUS.
Also James has found my weakness of liking him, Chelsea, and Zoran more than I dislike ad segments.
I think people who don't understand the "Gen-Z talk" like saying "silencing" "toxic" etc don't like it as much. My bf didn't like it as much as I did and he didn't laugh at the lines that I laughed at because he said that he didn't get it or get why it was funny. I think if you are/were part of the "liberal" tumblr(or now TikTock) group, you'll like it more because you can find the humor in things like "You're silencing me" and other buzzwords like that.
@@DrKritter The reason your boyfriend and I didn't find it funny, is because we're not cringey people.

A24 is just so amazing. The reach peak level cinema by making the unofficial Among Us movie. Truly a film and a studio that created high art cinema.
Its so nice seeing the team members being more included into skits and videos in general :D
18:33 - This kind of easter egg is one of the reasons I watch these Kill Counts. I LOVED this film, although I feel the audience I saw it with were not in on the joke. I could not stop laughing at the final reveal but I was almost alone in that. Also, Pete Davidson also seems like a cool guy, I do appreciate his stan Up and he did a pretty good job on the film.
I love the touch of showing a brief still of the production people you mention like disasterpiece! Really helps put a name to the face even without a clip of them talking
A cast can make or a break a movie and I think the cast did a really terrific job with this film
please never stop making Kill Counts! been a ride or die since day one and I thoroughly look forward to every one you put out slick!
As a dutch person i finde it hilarious how James pronounces Reijn’s name 😂. I love it!!
Hey I just wanted to let you know that there is multiple bots in this comment section copying your comment.
His dear evan hansen quote is absolutely beautiful ("...dear david, tap tap tapping on the glass, waving through the window")
3:58 James: I know I just killed Zoran, but gotta do the sponsor.
Many horror movies have a twist.
In this movie it wasn't a twist, but a punchline.
And it is glorious.
I really liked how they handled the twist reveal - not too heavily foreshadowed, so it'll still surprise most people, but so firmly in-character that you're immediately like "oh, of course!"
A24 is pumping out masterpieces at this point
I watched this with my friends, and none of us could’ve guessed the ending the scariest part is the fact that this is totally how we would act in this situation. (Maybe a little more rational)
I remember thinking that I was gonna not like the 3rd act. I was like it's gonna be revealed that someone is the killer and then a typical 3rd act fight will ensue.
Little did I know I would see one of the best twists of the year. I loved this movie and damn what a year for horror!
OMG I've been waiting for you to kill count this movie for so long, I was so happy to see this in theaters. Definitely one of my favorites of 2022.
0:13 The way he said "bodies bodies bodies is a horror comedy" reminded me of the dreidel song
That sponsor segment was the absolute funniest thing I have ever seen. Props to Zoran and Chelsea for the SS tier acting. So good!
16:27 is pure gold
7:36 that *"YEEEEES* never fails to make me laugh
Alice is hands down my favourite character. Rachel Sennott absolutely killed this role.
Absolutely
The way she said yes had me dying😂😂😂😂 7:37
This channel goes so hard. I'm sure everyone knows, but you can send your recommendations into James. I'm still waiting on a "deep blue sea" kill count lol
That plot twist is actually one of the best I've seen in YEARS.😄
Was really surprise with this movie. I got to see it in a theater with just my friends and we were having such a great time
This movie has one of the most satisfying twist endings I have ever seen.
Another movie I probably wouldn't have watched if not for Deadmeat. This movie was pretty entertaining and the ending twist was brilliant. Really enjoyed it 😂
the effort in your videos amaze me every single time, the quality, editing, and james in general is just perfect. keep it up!💜
Love this channel. I can usually only listen so I never realized how much work goes into an episode. Keep up the good work, even though it may go unnoticed!
