"Sammi... Those are fuckin onions" is possibly my favorite line read in recent years. The casting of this movie was so perfect and really elevated it from just being a good movie to a genuinely fun watch
Yeah that Line made me laugh out loud as well! We need more Movies like this, the only bad Thing about the Movie was that when you watched it on Netflix (at least in my Country Germany) was that the Background of the Page basically spoiled the whole Vampire thing, before i saw that, i had no idea that there will be Vampires in this Movie Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
This movie would’ve been absolutely awesome if it was marketed as “kidnap dangerous man’s daughter for ransom, father’s hitman is now killing them off with them trapped” and they never mentioned the vampire aspect until you actually SEE it in the movie
I think watching it again months later, away from all that, it's better. Plus there's a lot more of the movie where you know she's a vampire than don't
I never watched the trailer (because trailers are fucking terrible nowadays and spoil the entire movie) so I was actually surprised that it was a vampire. But I read the description and they did say she's no ordinary girl, so that part still bummed me out for ruining the surprise that she's not normal.
@@fortnort7350 That’s kind of the thing, even the synopsis hints at it at least and most of the main images when you get the movie up on streaming will show some kind of image making that clear. Even the title alone shows that she’s important in some fashion. Doesn’t ruin the movie, but it would be good for these things to be dialed back.
“Watching a Kill Count is never a replacement for watching a film.” I watched Abigail today purely so that I could watch this Kill Count. Glad that I did!
I freaking love the dance sequence when Abigail takes control of Sammy, she looks like she’s breaking her bones in the process and I can’t get enough of it without chills either
I really hope this movie ignites Alisha Weir's career and she goes on to other things. I don't think I've ever seen a child actor have this much fun. Even Willem Dafoe would tell her to spit out the scenery.
I can’t help but feel like the marketing severely let this movie down. the movie tries to do this mystery for almost an hour about what Abigail is, but if you have seen any piece of marketing for the film, you already know she’s a vampire. so while I still loved the movie, the long build-up felt wasted for me; it would have been nice to be in the same position as the characters and figure out what's going on.
Even if they wanted to use the vampire part as a sell point; giv is more vampire! Let us know what a couple centuries as a kid has done to make her just as dangerous as an adult. Hav an actress who’s a contortionist and run around low to the ground. If u hav ever been chased by a small dog u know y it works lol😂
Yeah, they could have marketed it using the threat of 'Valdez' and kept Abigail's vampirism/true identity under wraps instead of revealing the twist in the marketing.
I don’t mind it, it lets suspension still build as you wait for the characters to find out. Dramatic irony is a very good plot device and it’s used pretty wisely, especially since the first death is a clearly indicator that what they’re up against isn’t human(at least for the audience) and Rickles death only adds to the suspense as it’s clearly not done by a human, plus the hints with the statue and painting. To me, Abigail being a vampire isn’t supposed to be the big reveal but more so that the entire crime family is full of them. I can see why maybe it’s disappointing but I think going into the film knowing she’s the real antagonist helps the ending not feel flat and forced(it might feel as though there’s too many twists and that gets boring)
RIP Katie Ballantine. She loved deadmeat, even had tattoos from the show and several horror movies. Taken before her time. She never got to see this episode and any future ones. I will love you forever.
Kathryn Newton is definitely a modern horror icon. More than a Scream Queen, she is just as willing to be a killer or monster as a Final Girl. You can tell how much fun she's having playing the partial vampire trying to draw everyone in.
It's all about Dan Stevens' delivery. Annoyed, but not the least bit surprised. He was at Alan Rickman levels of "surrounded by idiots" attitude in this film.
It's probably my favorite line in the movie to because when I watched it and Sammy came back with them I said to myself but those are onions then frank gave that line and I was cackling
18:03 Missable detail: According to Melissa Barrera, when Screen Rant visited the set of Abigail, she crafted her character's real name, Ana Lucia Cruz, from a combination of references and a hint to her character's ending. "Ana Lucia" was chosen as a reference to Lucy Westenra from Bram Stoker's Dracula, while "Cruz" was chosen because it's Spanish for "cross" and it's (in Melissa's words) "something that would kill a vampire, that protects [someone] from the vampire."
Angus Cloud was so authentic cause that’s just how he was in real life. I’m from where he’s from so I’ve heard a lot of stories from people who knew him and he was basically the same as the characters he played as far as the chill personality.
for the marketing: the couldve left ambiguous that abigail is the vampire. maybe couldve framed it so that you might think something else is there. like a family guardian or something
That’s what I thought when I first watched the trailer! When Abigail says “I’m sorry about what is going to happen to you” I thought it was alluding to a monster bodyguard
I can't remember the name, but there is another movie I remember that did that! They intentionally misled the audience with the trailer, which made the actual twist in the film much more surprising and awesome.
honestly man. it’s crazy how much dead meat has become a part of my life, i found the channel when i was depressed in 2019 finally found a job after 6 months of unemployment, first time working night shift, stumbled upon my first kill count ever “and then there was shaun” this channel brought me so much comfort during a time of uncertainty, only time i stopped watching for a time period was when i lost my brother in 2020, understandably kill counts weren’t hitting the same after i lost him 😔 took some time before i could come back to the channel but man, that intro sound and that deadmeat logo will always have a special meaning to me.
I felt SUPER lucky to get the chance to meet Melissa at Monster Mania this month! She took the time with every person, I waited 4½ hours in line. And it was super worth it. She's incredibly sweet and so involved in getting to interact with the fans. One of the last things I told her was how she fucking killed it in Abigail. I babbled on about how I had my dad go with me and everything. She's truly so lovely to interact with. If anyone gets the chance at a con, take the time to talk to her. She's really appreciative of the support. 🥺🖤 She also said she loved my makeup! I did a black, white and grey eye look with red drippy liner for blood, to honor ghostface with toooons of glitter and she leaned over the table to really get a good look. 😭 Sooo sweet. I was like omg thank youuuu!!!
Fun fact: I have actually met Alisha Weir, my dance group we’re doing Matilda the musical a year ago, and she called us wishing us good luck on it, and told us how delighted she was for us
Abigail being an eternal kid is definitely a reference to Kirsten Dunst role in Interview with the vampire, another vampire film. She plays a kid turned vampire that can't grow and thus matures in the body of a little girl. In the film, her character can be as ruthless as Abigail
I really like the addition to the script “and show you how they’re made”. Team Dead Meat really do their homework. Clearly a shared passion. Such a good channel from the jump.
@@DodoRibeiro-ts6pohe was the only good thing about that show, the only reason I watched it in the first place, glad he got to visit my country before he died.
Pretty cool seeing Dan Stevens, who’s not only Sir Lancelot in “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb”, but also Haller in “Legion” -No, not the one at 12:04, but rather the X-Men show - and as the new voice of Korvo as well.
One of my favorite things about the music was the score, Brian Tyler knocked it out of the park with Abigail's Theme, he also worked on Scream VI and Far Cry 3
Fun fact, this is the second time Matthew Goode shows up after Dan Stevens' character dies! In Downton Abbey, Matthew Goode's character marries Mary, after her previous husband, played by Dan Stevens, passes away
@@iheartbusterk82 I liked him in Night at the Museum 3 and Godzilla x Kong. He was also okay in Beauty and the Beast, but he didn't have much to work with through the CGI.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Godzilla x Kong was the beginning of making me a fan, then you have this. And Cuckoo, I was all in by the time you reach the hospital at the end. I think the little niche he’s made for himself in horror will serve him well, much as the niche Patrick Wilson made has worked for him.
when matthew goode showed up in the movie i yelled "oh my god" in the theater because of the downton abbey connection. i'm sure it wasn't planned but it was so funny to me
this is a movie I’ve been meaning to watch since it came out and this kill count is what finally made me do it. I knew I’d want to watch this kill count but didn’t want anything to be spoiled so I waited until I had time. just finished the movie so here we are
If only they hadn't spoiled the twist in the trailers. This movie spends so much time building up the mystery many watching will already know. The film's still great, though.
Fair and the film is fun regardless, but I'm not sure how else it could've been marketed without both telling the twist and keeping the trailer's tone in line with the movie.
Yeah, agreed. I watched this movie completely blind, never heard of it, and I do think I enjoyed myself more than I would’ve if I already knew the twist
Idk about Hollywood, but in Florida’s Halloween horror nights, the classic monsters house references Abigail. A bloody pair of pointe shoes can be spotted on a shelf in a hall after Dracula’s castle
Matthew Goode is spectacular casting for Dracula, he's a bit like Christopher Walken playing David Bowie. Kevin Durand was one of the stars of The Strain, a show by Guillermo del Toro about vampires taking over New York, he played an exterminator for the health department that acted like an edgy 90s cop, it was fantastic. Well, for a couple seasons at least.
This film is SO MUCH fun. All of the cast do really well. Alisha Weir, Dan Stevens, and Kathryn Newton are particular standouts. So her dad was totally meant to be Dracula right?
Yes, he's Dracula. Not only is the Dracula crest scattered around the mansion, there's the line from him when he shows up. "I've gone by many names over the COUNT-less centuries."
Giancarlo Esposito is such a good "bad guy" actor, i was first introduced to him as the dictator from farcry 6, and i became a fan pretty much instantly he just brings such a detached, cold aura to the characters he portrays- its great! but he equally plays dramatic emotional moments really well too
My favorite lines are “Sammy, those are fuckin onions!” and “… I thought her name was Abigail?” lmao Peter and Sammy are great through the whole movie but the real star is Abigail. That little actress deserves a ton of awards and recognition for this role… she was hilarious, terrifying, and genuinely sympathetic. Such a talented actress, I hope she has a good career and she doesn’t fall victim to the dark sides of growing up in Hollywood.
I get a slight giggle at this vampire daughter of dracula doing all this to get her dad to notice her. Meanwhile Dracula is with his fifth wife and sending money to the dead beat child who "totally will get that NFT startup off the ground." And his other daughter is attending Monster High 😂😂😂
Sorry to hear about Abigail's box office. I had a good time with it! Honestly, was hoping it would pop up this year at HHN. After the success of the M3GAN flash mob style thing, Abigail could have worked there, if not as a full on house. Also, got REAL Resident Evil vibes from this movie. Mostly the first game (especially the greenhouse and library) but now I'm curious if they filmed Welcome to Raccoon City there too.
🤣🤣🤣 Great, now I'm imagining like, Matilda secretly being a vampire and never using her physical fangs because she's not THAT much of an asshole now THAT would be a wild Matilda adaptation lmao
LOVED this movie saw it the same week it opened! it sucks more people didn't give it a try, hoping it'll become a hit through blu ray/digital . this has to be one of my favorite killcounts of all time, including the chemistry with the actors and the added interviews really enhanced it . A+ jokes also i'm happy to see this movie get the love it deserves!

Dead Meat: the closest I will get to horror movies since 2021. Since I can't spent tome watching horror movies on my computer for free without looking suspicious. I also have a job since 2023.
Compare his role here with his goofball kaiju dentist in "Godzilla X Kong" (where he was easily the best thing aside from the monsters). Dude has serious range.
This is one of the most entertaining action horror films I've seen, probably my favourite since Prey. I loved Abigail and I think I'm becoming a radio silence fan.
17:58 I feel the opposite. That is actually one of the best scenes of the movie, and it only works so well because of Alisha Weir's phenomenal acting. The cast is what elevates this entire movie and Alisha was definitely the standout.
Same! This scene was when I said "They casted this girl so well, what a great actress" I think she did phenomenally and this scene didn't feel like it messed up the flow of the movie for me.
14:52 Abigail’s first fight genuinely got a rise out of me. She punches the living hell out of Sammy, stabbed the shit out of Peter.. with his own crucifix, and lastly stabbed the fuck out of Frank’s knee. That one got me
Thank you James! I see so many people complain about the trailers spoiling the Abigail is a vampire thing, but the trailer would absolutely have led to people walking out and demanding money back because non-horror people would’ve gone into it thinking that it was a kidnapping/heist movie without the twist. I mean the CinemaScore is a B, which as we all know is amazing for horror. Don’t include it and it would be much lower. Plus it’s not like it’s the only surprise in the whole movie.
I saw it when it aired in theaters, and I really enjoyed it. My mom and sister were too scared to see it, so I went alone. I have severe mental disorders, so I am kinda proud of myself for going alone.
i watch this movie with a friend and i went into it completely blind. i remember giving so much credit to the actress that plays Abigail saying how good shes doing being scared and when the twist happened, i was shocked and amazed. for the rest of the movie i just the biggest smile on my face
4:02 People don't say kidnapping just to refer to the abduction of a child anymore, though, but to abduction in general, and the meaning of language is determined by how it is used.
⚠️POSSIBLE SPOILER⚠️ Never seen this, but at the vat of bodies, I'm calling it: it was never a kidnapping, they were set up as food, all those bodies were "teams" meant to kidnap her, but it's just so she can eat in peace without it becoming public. Just guessing tho EDIT I was almost right, it wasn't necessarily for food
The moment I realized it was Alisha Weir, I was sold on the film. She was next level in Matilda, being able to sing and channel all the heavy emotions needed for the role. Like holy shit, go watch it for her performance alone.
The trailer for this movie did it so dirty. I took a friend who only goes to the theater when I ask and I knew he hadn't seen anything about this movie, so at least I got to live through his experience vicariously. STOP PUTTING SPOILERS IN MOVIE TRAILERS!
James is really rocking that Dan Stevens look Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the second time James has worn glasses in a kill count with the first being Re-Animator, I mean we see Zoran wearing glasses all the time but hardly ever James
I was looking for a kill count for the blob 80's ver. Looks like you've never done one. Was actually pretty shocked. It's like the fly, body snatchers and the thing where they outdo the original in most opinions.

In my headcanon, this is how Abigail gets to experience life outside of a child's body. I adore this movie soooo much.
Absolutely the best scene
So good.
The Danzig music along with it was a horrible choice
I really hope this movie ignites Alisha Weir's career and she goes on to other things. I don't think I've ever seen a child actor have this much fun. Even Willem Dafoe would tell her to spit out the scenery.

I love that little bit of trivia. Also, it took this movie and Cuckoo for me to finally become a fan of Stevens.
That's a better Matthew Goode connection than the one I noticed. He was in the 2013 fim Stoker(which isn't about Dracula but...)
@@iheartbusterk82 I liked him in Night at the Museum 3 and Godzilla x Kong. He was also okay in Beauty and the Beast, but he didn't have much to work with through the CGI.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Godzilla x Kong was the beginning of making me a fan, then you have this. And Cuckoo, I was all in by the time you reach the hospital at the end. I think the little niche he’s made for himself in horror will serve him well, much as the niche Patrick Wilson made has worked for him.
when matthew goode showed up in the movie i yelled "oh my god" in the theater because of the downton abbey connection. i'm sure it wasn't planned but it was so funny to me
“You eat a lot of sweets. Drug addict” lmao, movies always make me laugh
this is a movie I’ve been meaning to watch since it came out and this kill count is what finally made me do it. I knew I’d want to watch this kill count but didn’t want anything to be spoiled so I waited until I had time. just finished the movie so here we are
This film was surprisingly fun like M3gan was lol, let’s gets a vs movie between the 2 like FvJ & AvP🤣
Omg that would be sick 😂
@@marybonner7432 GOD NO
One better: Abigail vs. M3GAN vs. Esther. None of the three are actual children.
Maybe at the next Horror rumble?
In a movie I believe Abigail would f*ck M3gan up in 10 seconds 😅
Short women battle@@coolnerdlll6053
I honestly just love this channel. It enhanced my already existing love of horror.
Same, it brought me into horror by showing me that not all horrors are jumpfests and that they all weren't scary like I was told
@CovenantoftheFatherland-e1wNo one cares 👎🏾
indeed
Same, my first horror move was Scream

If only they hadn't spoiled the twist in the trailers. This movie spends so much time building up the mystery many watching will already know. The film's still great, though.
Fair and the film is fun regardless, but I'm not sure how else it could've been marketed without both telling the twist and keeping the trailer's tone in line with the movie.
@@ksmnocreativity I feel like you could show certain things like the pool of dead bodies and people being attacked without spelling it out completely.
@@TheMirkstaYes, exactly that. Show her getting kidnapped, show that something creepy's going on, but don't show what the creepy thing is.
I'm glad I knew nothing about the movie.
Yeah, agreed. I watched this movie completely blind, never heard of it, and I do think I enjoyed myself more than I would’ve if I already knew the twist
Idk about Hollywood, but in Florida’s Halloween horror nights, the classic monsters house references Abigail. A bloody pair of pointe shoes can be spotted on a shelf in a hall after Dracula’s castle
Matthew Goode is spectacular casting for Dracula, he's a bit like Christopher Walken playing David Bowie.
Kevin Durand was one of the stars of The Strain, a show by Guillermo del Toro about vampires taking over New York, he played an exterminator for the health department that acted like an edgy 90s cop, it was fantastic. Well, for a couple seasons at least.
This film is SO MUCH fun. All of the cast do really well. Alisha Weir, Dan Stevens, and Kathryn Newton are particular standouts.
So her dad was totally meant to be Dracula right?
Yes, he's Dracula. Not only is the Dracula crest scattered around the mansion, there's the line from him when he shows up.
"I've gone by many names over the COUNT-less centuries."
I'll admit, the onions line was good, but "He's dead! She got him ... oh no," line had me in tears 😭
almost reminds me of "They got him, he's dead"
Giancarlo Esposito is such a good "bad guy" actor, i was first introduced to him as the dictator from farcry 6, and i became a fan pretty much instantly
he just brings such a detached, cold aura to the characters he portrays- its great! but he equally plays dramatic emotional moments really well too
But I love when he gets to play a not so bad guy like in MaXXXine.
His breaking bad role was excellent
It's ironic given his breakout role was Buggin Out in "Do the Right Thing", who is anything but cold and detached.
@@austinclements8010 He is great playing bad guys period but i loved that im MaXXXine he played as supportive guy
You're so far behind
My favorite lines are “Sammy, those are fuckin onions!” and “… I thought her name was Abigail?” lmao
Peter and Sammy are great through the whole movie but the real star is Abigail. That little actress deserves a ton of awards and recognition for this role… she was hilarious, terrifying, and genuinely sympathetic. Such a talented actress, I hope she has a good career and she doesn’t fall victim to the dark sides of growing up in Hollywood.
I get a slight giggle at this vampire daughter of dracula doing all this to get her dad to notice her. Meanwhile Dracula is with his fifth wife and sending money to the dead beat child who "totally will get that NFT startup off the ground." And his other daughter is attending Monster High 😂😂😂
Sorry to hear about Abigail's box office. I had a good time with it! Honestly, was hoping it would pop up this year at HHN. After the success of the M3GAN flash mob style thing, Abigail could have worked there, if not as a full on house. Also, got REAL Resident Evil vibes from this movie. Mostly the first game (especially the greenhouse and library) but now I'm curious if they filmed Welcome to Raccoon City there too.
Matilda really went wild after the musical
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty 😊😂
Too much unresolved childhood trauma 😅
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.
🤣🤣🤣 Great, now I'm imagining like, Matilda secretly being a vampire and never using her physical fangs because she's not THAT much of an asshole
now THAT would be a wild Matilda adaptation lmao
Matilda AU fanfic… now that’s a thought I associate with this
Angus Cloud was one of my favorite parts of the movie RIP
I’d never seen him before and he was so good that it made me sad we weren’t going to get more of him.
He was my favorite euphoria character
@@iheartbusterk82 he has a real “I don’t know I’m in a movie” feel to his roles
Yeah I was sad when his character died, I wanted to see him more. 😢
@@Rcurtis777 I know what you mean. I really love actors who can do that.
LOVED this movie saw it the same week it opened! it sucks more people didn't give it a try, hoping it'll become a hit through blu ray/digital . this has to be one of my favorite killcounts of all time, including the chemistry with the actors and the added interviews really enhanced it . A+ jokes also i'm happy to see this movie get the love it deserves!
That's Seriously Not Calming Down Young Lady 16:59
What are you talking about? she said it calmly in the book
angus passing was pretty sad for me too he seemed like a nice guy and down to earth not your typical Hollywood star R.I.P. angus

I loved this movie! It was campy and gory and had so many great one-liners. “Sammy, those are fucking onions” is peak comedy and so satisfying.
Dead Meat: the closest I will get to horror movies since 2021. Since I can't spent tome watching horror movies on my computer for free without looking suspicious. I also have a job since 2023.
"'lets have some fun' this fight is sick. she wants to steak his heart with a wooden stick" LKJFHASKDLFJALKS always kills me
Honestly, I am here for the Dan Stevens Horror Renaissance. He’s such an underrated actor
Compare his role here with his goofball kaiju dentist in "Godzilla X Kong" (where he was easily the best thing aside from the monsters). Dude has serious range.
@@geoffreyfyfe2248he’s such a good actor. i love how much he disappears into his roles tbh no matter if he’s playing a good guy or a bad guy
He’s amazing in Legion, and a personal favorite role of his is in Eurovision Song Contest
Kevin Durand is great in just about everything he's in - he was one of the fun spots of X-Men Origins Wolverine
He did a fantastic job in the newest Planet of the Apes movie too!
Fun fact: Both of Mary’s husbands from Downton Abbey are in this film.
'' It takes a really long time to do all the cool shit'', I don;t know why but that is my favorite line.
I can never watch the Netflix "Matilda" musical movie in the same way ever again after seeing Matilda's actress playing a vampire ballerina.
This is one of the most entertaining action horror films I've seen, probably my favourite since Prey. I loved Abigail and I think I'm becoming a radio silence fan.
17:58 I feel the opposite. That is actually one of the best scenes of the movie, and it only works so well because of Alisha Weir's phenomenal acting. The cast is what elevates this entire movie and Alisha was definitely the standout.
I feel the same way! I loved this scene, too.
Same! This scene was when I said "They casted this girl so well, what a great actress" I think she did phenomenally and this scene didn't feel like it messed up the flow of the movie for me.
personally im a big fan of how dan stevens turned into gollum when getting choked
I cant believe how good she looks en pointe for only wokring for a few months. That little girl is insane
Giancarlo Esposito?! On the Kill Count? Impossible.
The “just normal men” reference was incredible 7:08
Looking for this comment - it was perfect
Caught me off guard, I laughed so hard
It was so shocking to see something from cbbc on dead meat
REST IN PEACE ANGUS CLOUD 🕊️
14:52 Abigail’s first fight genuinely got a rise out of me. She punches the living hell out of Sammy, stabbed the shit out of Peter.. with his own crucifix, and lastly stabbed the fuck out of Frank’s knee. That one got me
15:39 This Was Literally ME 😂😂😂
I guess VHS2 video has copyright problems? It's not up yet 👀
haha I was wondering that too
came here to ask this
Probably due to a scene that happened in the section "Safe Haven"
Thank you James! I see so many people complain about the trailers spoiling the Abigail is a vampire thing, but the trailer would absolutely have led to people walking out and demanding money back because non-horror people would’ve gone into it thinking that it was a kidnapping/heist movie without the twist. I mean the CinemaScore is a B, which as we all know is amazing for horror. Don’t include it and it would be much lower. Plus it’s not like it’s the only surprise in the whole movie.
I saw it when it aired in theaters, and I really enjoyed it. My mom and sister were too scared to see it, so I went alone. I have severe mental disorders, so I am kinda proud of myself for going alone.
Proud of you!
@keeekeeey5422 awh, thank you!
I never knew the mansion was filmed in Dublin at the GUINNESS estate. I love this film even more now
12:56-13:01
I just thought of Solar Opposites since Dan Stevens is the voice of Krovo
"Terry, those are f**king onions!!!"
12:04, Why not mention Kevin Durand work on the Strain, a horror series which always gave me chills?
15:37 i was waiting for Tim to scream like Sammy did.
i watch this movie with a friend and i went into it completely blind. i remember giving so much credit to the actress that plays Abigail saying how good shes doing being scared and when the twist happened, i was shocked and amazed. for the rest of the movie i just the biggest smile on my face
RIP Angus Cloud loved him in this movie
4:02 People don't say kidnapping just to refer to the abduction of a child anymore, though, but to abduction in general, and the meaning of language is determined by how it is used.
That pool really disturbed me. Geeze! Great Stuff, as always!
never have i seen a movie that got me genuinely scared and genuinely laugh like this one 😂
“Sammy those are fuckin onions” best line of the year
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE
⚠️POSSIBLE SPOILER⚠️
Never seen this, but at the vat of bodies, I'm calling it: it was never a kidnapping, they were set up as food, all those bodies were "teams" meant to kidnap her, but it's just so she can eat in peace without it becoming public. Just guessing tho
EDIT
I was almost right, it wasn't necessarily for food
The moment I realized it was Alisha Weir, I was sold on the film. She was next level in Matilda, being able to sing and channel all the heavy emotions needed for the role. Like holy shit, go watch it for her performance alone.
The trailer for this movie did it so dirty. I took a friend who only goes to the theater when I ask and I knew he hadn't seen anything about this movie, so at least I got to live through his experience vicariously.
STOP PUTTING SPOILERS IN MOVIE TRAILERS!
James is really rocking that Dan Stevens look
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the second time James has worn glasses in a kill count with the first being Re-Animator, I mean we see Zoran wearing glasses all the time but hardly ever James
This movie was an absolute blast.
I hope this gets more people to see it
Also, holy *shit* I didn’t realize she was Matilda until now.
I was looking for a kill count for the blob 80's ver. Looks like you've never done one. Was actually pretty shocked. It's like the fly, body snatchers and the thing where they outdo the original in most opinions.
8:00 "Is that Jamiroquai?"
This is the same mistake in the Robot Chicken skit all over again 😭
Dead Meat is the only UA-cam channel that I think of every time I watch a horror movie 😅
19:27 The DJ spit reference got me 😭😭😭
I was thinking the same thing
Siri call the hospital man
I steal these things man

Will always and forever appreciate a Smiling Friends reference
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE.
How many bodies in the pool, two? Three?.... nah, the HYSTERICAL SCREAM amount.
15:18 - 16:06 😰🤢Wow, not since Dario Argento's Phenomena have I been close to throwing up from a corpse pool.
25:58 Dead Meat Video
The “I’ll make Tim do it” bit made me laugh so hard
I went into this movie without seeing a trailer and was very surprised
Sammy those are freaking onions 😂😂😂😂😂
