@@DHGxMcFlurry it's a movie dude. Normally that character would be straight evil, seeing the world as black and white as you clearly do instead of the shades of grey that exist in people even if they do bad things they aren't going to be bad in every moment. What's the world come to when people have such surface level shallow thinking and think they're the wise one?
@@ErinJeanette Yeah it's "grey" to despise the deadbeat father who leaves his kids to make dangerous poisons that fucking kill and ruin other people and the world. I'm sorry Erin you are right, we need to start seeing meth cookers and addicts as good people, Hell doing meth sounds great now! I should do it right!
the real villain of this movie is cps for not getting those kids out way before the dad turned from a drug dealer to a corpse eater. seriously no one could take them?? there's 0 foster parents or spare rooms in the whole town??? i'm not american so can someone tell me if this is normal?
Sadly cps is incompetent due to it being under funded and staff and due to some of the social workers either not caring or to willing to take kids from good homes while doing nothing for those being abused
It's really hard to actually get kids removed from parents. With this movie taking place in small town USA I'd bet the odds they even have local CPS are pretty low, meaning they'd be relying on the state adding a case to some already-overworked case worker who'd have to set aside an entire day to drive out there for an investigation that probably wouldn't result in anything more than a correction plan being put in place with followup being highly unlikely.
@@QQyoko thanks for your reply. that sounds horrific, and explains the actions of the police and school a bit more. tbh if other authorities are so rarely around i would honestly consider some light child kidnapping just to get the kids out. i guess the trick would be not getting killed by a junkie while doing it.
@@Ïurossa this is the stupiest thing ive ever heard you have a higher chance of survivng a damn knife wound than a gunshot bullets are usually a one hit kill in real life unless they miss your vitals and thats unlikely people aim for the chest or head
Well it also doesn’t have a lot of flesh it physically relies upon being a a mutant cannibal undead thing. Usually it takes fire to kill these things but smashing its body to bits (despite them being Uber durable and strong, making such an idea foolish) would probably do better
@josh5598 sure… I’m not saying it’s illogical to use that in desperate times. I’m saying it’s weird it was so effective when bullets did Jack. Even in full fight mode and 100% adrenaline this woman is not driving steel into the wendigo more effectively than a bullet can
The thing that made me so sad about the movie is that despite their issues and paranormal aspects, the family all tried to protect each other. Lucas tried to take care of his little brother and his dad. Even while transforming, his dad took Aidan in to the attic with him to keep him from hurting Lucas. Even after he fully became a Wendigo, his dad still tried to protect his kids. And even after becoming beasts, Lucas still wanted to help his family. They all still tried to take care of each other through all the chaos.
Same. The family was definitely bleak but it was nice to see not a completely evil dad, trying desperately to keep himself from hurting his kids. Even before he's attacked he was sweet with Aiden. Not a model citizen obviously but still.
3 reasons I'd guess the older cop didn't tell them about the Not Deer sooner. 1 He wasn't sure if it was a Not Deer or a hide-behind. The two are very different and killed in different ways. 2 He knew they woukdnt believe him and the mine was too dangerous for them to think he was off his nut 3 He didn't want to attract its attention by talking about it in its DEN. (Some legends say to name the beast is to draw it to you. *) *This doesn't work with Chris Hemsworth.
Right? I was like, old BIPOC man starts saying 'hey, this is probably a supernatural monster' - gets immediately institutionalised. Also, the principal who visits the house - call 911 because the house stinks? Yeah, that's not people's first instinct, I'm not surprised she looked around for another minute. But MAYBE take a second person with you before doing a house visit. That might be a more reasonable expectation.
@@MortalOrder Obviously I'm not OP, but from what I understand the Not Deer, and Hidebehind aren't straight Native American legends, but rather stories that came out of the mixing of European colonisers with the indigenous people/tribes. The Not Deer stories seem to mostly be based in the Appalachians, when Irish people settled there and integrated their own superstitions with indigenous superstitions and mythology. Descriptions vary but basically, they're like something that pretends to be a deer, or looks a lot like a deer, but gives the viewer a sinister sense of foreboding. They've been described with predator-like eyes, and/or sharp teeth/fangs and/or walking on hind legs like a person and/or moving unlike a natural animal... basically, imagine a deer that's... wrong and terrifying. It's possibly inspired by the Wendigo (human flesh eater) or the Navajo myth of the Skinwalker (which was an evil magic user who could use an animal form). The Hidebehind is more akin to Europeanised folk tales like Paul Bunyan. It's a creature that has no description because its main trick is to hide as soon as you try and see it, then grab people, which it eats. So the only people who may have seen it were eaten up. If you hear a twig snap in the woods, maybe it was the Hidebehind!
@@aroha9090 Essentially, yes. Some people have used the Not Deer name for the flesh eater due to the antlers some legends claim they have. Again, there are tons of stories of things lurking in the woods and few are friendly. A really big difference (from what I've read) is you want to keep a flesh eater in sight and move as far away as fast as you can. Never ever run from a sk!nwalker and don't you dare look at the hide behind. Things go south very fast. Also, I think fire only works on the not deer but none of the three would be able to cross the medicine bags
@@Sate12 I think the association between the flesh-eater and antlers is a fairly new development too, popularised by film, mostly. But I think the physical descriptions in the indigenous stories were far vaguer.
Yeah the smell of death is more than enough probable cause to enter the house without a warrant. They wouldn't have needed to wait for a warrant the next day. Love your videos man. You're awesome.
@@urbanguy1191 I had this thought too but I'm not sure if it's bad writing or not. He's shown to be a weak character throughout the movie where he responds to almost every situation with inaction . It's possible he knew entering a junkie's home without a warrant was going to stir something up. Even if he knows he's in the right it's not out of character for him to dismiss this situation by opting to get a warrant first.
It's sad that the smartest person in this movie is the traumatized 12 year old. The meth cookers use flares in a lab (asking for an explosion) and then follow spooky sounds past protective talismans in an abandoned mine. The teacher and the principle casually walk into the house of a known meth cook, which is incredibly stupid even if he isn't possessed. The deputy clearly knows what it going on the moment he sees the eaten body, and understands that it will only get worse, yet doesn't gather a hunting party to deal with the problem. If I'm him, I'm not going anywhere without one of those medicine bags and an automatic shotgun loaded with slugs. If possible, I'm calling the national guard and having them set up a trap with some dead animals in a killbox covered by a couple mk 19 grenade launchers. I don't know if you've seen it, but there is a good similar movie called Dark Was the Night that you might want to check out. It's less depressing, and with fewer stupid people, but the monster CGI is somewhat worse. People in it actually load up on guns and try to use choke points for defense though, so it's a lot less exasperating.
@@dylanmonstrum1538 I don't believe in magical talismans. However, I do believe that people don't put down walls of them unless the perceive a serious threat to protect from, and hearing noises like that in a cave is going to make me think that whatever that threat is could be present. If the threat is confirmed to be a skinwalker, I'd start believing in talismans because the supernatural is confirmed to exist, and it can't hurt.
"So, of course, we're going to watch a bunch of white people try and deal with it." -Kevin Costner waves. You've always been pretty spot on with your comedy. But you keep getting better and better. I laughed loudly at that one.
@@kelyspo 59 seconds in. Two Native American men are riding horses and the view flips to a white man waving at them. That is Kevin Costner & the scene if from Dances With Wolves.
To note the dad was still in the proccess of becoming a monster and locked himself up when they found his partner's dead body in the woods. So there very much is still the first windigo from the mineshaft to deal with. Just saying
The thing with this movie is that it shows them getting infected, but it never shows what happen to the first one. Like, where did it go cause if it was dead, the body should still be in that mine? If it is alive, it is probably still out there, killing more people. So basically, we might have 3 in the kid and cop turn, and I know that the teacher isn't getting any more plot armor.
I thought this would be more from Lucas point of view. What’s he supposed to do? Also just want to say, Lucas’ actor did a great job. Felt really depressed after this movie especially the scene of him screaming behind the door of his dad and brother 😢
Yeah, I agree. A Wendigo movie would be an opportunity to have a Native American lead. Or First Nations. You don't get to see many Native American leads. And almost every movie that has someone Native American in it, ends up being a favored character. Speaking of, I'm curious to see how you would do Prey cause that girl was pretty smart. Most have her choices were the dead point. However, I do love Karey Russel. But Wendigo is a great folklore to do a horror movie on. I find it to be one of the most terrifying creatures. This was a good movie. But again it was a missed opportunity for more native american actors.
YESSS, a modern native person suddenly finding out that their ancestor's stories aren't just metaphors and they have to deal with it would be AMAZING to watch. I would watch that.
I've been told that one should never openly talk about the beast unless you wish to attract it. Still a bad call to not inform everyone, but if I saw signs of that creature I'd probably move away from the area.
You should never openly pronounce its name properly. You can speak of them, but only if you improperly name them I personally use the term Windy boys because I’m not sure which pronunciation is the correct one the one with the hard jago or the hard or dago so best to be safe, never speak their name
"Julia, the overworked, underpaid, PTSD-suffering schoolteacher, can barely generate any enthusiasm from her students" ....I FELT THAT, I FELT THAT FR YOU GOTTA ATTACK ME LIKE THIS MAN!?
Be honest. if this was real,pretty sure no one would just walk in a house that smells like 4 sweaty toes mixed in with rotten fish and decide:"Hey,I'm gonna try to find out the problem on my own!"
When the principle went to the attic I would want to add that if you see a door with locks on the outside, it's not to prevent people from going in. It's to prevent something from coming out. So I don't think it would be smart to go in
Protective services in this world is literally the worst they can’t find a family member to take care of them so they leave them with a literal cursed being
Another banger video, thx for uploading! They're great dinner entertainment for me, which is a little concerning given how these movies seem determined to take away appetites but I'll choose to ignore any signs of psychopathy that might imply. Oh btw, I recently watched a cosmic horror movie called Color Out of Space with Nicholas Cage, I think it might be up your alley to cover if you haven't heard of it before. I hadn't so I figure it might have flown under the radar. Anyways, thanks for all the great videos! Looking forward to the next one as always
I fucking love how you describe all this shit I don't even watch this for the survivaltips anymore because I know my dumbass wouldn't get killed in any situation
I love how the Wendigo got white washed, a wendigo is something you can’t kill only run away or cast it away. Wendigos are monsters that hunger for human flesh but will eat smaller animals if it’s first choice isn’t near. They stalk their prey and when it comes to humans they love to toy with them and get the scared. A wendigo never sleeps and doesn’t mind the light, it hunts in deep forests without mercy, it cannot be reasoned with in this movie the wendigo would’ve ate his kids with no care in they stayed true to the legends. Also, wendigos have power to manipulate your mind to make you image things that aren’t their. Like making you sleep walk into their lair for them to eat you. They have super healing and any damage done will heal when they eat. The wendigo “virus” is super contagious like with a werewolf a single scratch will turn you. They do not hunt in packs they are solitary creatures. To put a legend against a legend, a skinwalker would fall to a wendigo 9/10.
What upset me the most is that the wendigo's home is around the great lakes area and Canada but the movie made in Oregon instead but anyway it was a great movie wish we seen more of the wendigo instead of the humans because I love wendigo's they are very cool creature to me at the end of Antler it sad when the lady teacher killed the wendigo.
First time I watched one of this series I was honestly exspecting a bit more from this video Summing up the plot of the movie quickly, then going into detail about the origin of the wendigo and atleast the weaknesses of it
God- its supposed to be a serious recap but I keep cracking up everytime Nerd audibly gets angered over Paul and Warren holding out on the info and tools
For a home with a grass yard near a forrest it looks surprisingly well kept. Even tho it's supposed to not have been for a little while. But whatever I'm no expert.
Yeah, the guy calls it a derelict skeleton of a house. And I'm like, really? Because it's in an incredibly poor part of the country. I've seen people live in a LOT worse. Hell, I think I lived in worse when I was a student. I don't think anyone ever thought of calling the cops about it.
I think it's interesting that the dad and brother had enough sanity left to recognize Lucas as a son and brother so they refrained from attacking him and as interested as they seemed when it comes to using him to get meat, it also is obvious that they refuse to allow him into the attic because they know they won't be able to control himself and would hate to hurt someone they love so much.

Kinda sad that horror movies can't create new, horrifying monsters that aren't a rip-off of another, already well-worn monster. I'm tired of seeing horror monsters that can be easily defeated with a pinch of common sense and sufficient ammo.
But then You run into the problem of the monster Being some super gimicky creature that can only be beaten in a very specific way. Like i would rather have powerfull but beatable creatures than the same old demon or shadow monster from the abyss that You need to think happy thoughts to defeat or something. Also it's just very hard to make something that can both fit in a horror movie And be original.
@@youcanhandlethetruth4695 A overgrown Plant is more original than a xenomorph? Also the OP wasn't just talking about originality, they were also talking about the fact that a smart enough person could easily dispatch of creatures Like this. So how the hell does a big Venus fly trap Better than something that can actually hunt.
Fun fact: that depiction came from the melding of European settlers and native tribes storytelling to one another. The European settlers biggest fear were Werewolves and vampires, the depiction of a Werewolf at that time was much closer to what you’d see in the movie Dog Soldiers, or the werewolves in Skyrim, long toned slender limbs. A pretty typical werewolf as we know them. But eventually the Native tribes stories mixed with their new neighbors, and somewhere along the line the fear of “Men with antlers and gaping maws of teeth” Became the tale of what we know as The Wendigo.
@@gigawattsfactory6777Im not part of these indigenous tribes, but I’m pretty sure it’s just cultural misinformation. Because indigenous people from what I’ve heard still don’t view the wendigo as an antler bearing creature. It’s just white people who took the native legends and twisted it into something that made more sense to them.
every other windigo movie I have hated, to the point of hating the crature it's self, yet this was a good apadtation of it I think. making me rethink my position on them.
Could you please do a “how to beat” video on a movie called “attraction” or it’s second part? It has cool alien water benders and giant space ships capable of deep faking , controlling mass media and framing people for domestic terrorism. And it has a cool revolution and a government corruption scheme.(It also has a cool underwater scene).I am asking for the fifty fifth time and will continue asking. (It’s my birthday today!)
Culturally Speaking, it's taboo to talk about the Wendigo because its said to summon their spirits. So I wouldn't fault the Native American for that. Honestly, this film was so close to having accurate Wendigos in the film... but they just HAD to use the pop culture Pet Cemetery version of the creature. People need to STOP using Leshen to depict the Wendigo.
Just some tips to keep you alive just in case of those things are alive or real. Do not say their names free times or they will hunt you down that’s why you can call big Timmy like I do or big John, big George something just not its real name
5:16 Jessie Plemons is saying stay away from there simple stay away people’s meddling leaves them to situations that can be avoided the kid is saying leave it be
Whole wendigo thing aside. The dad tried to be the best dad he could be. Before and AFTER transforming. I hope someone creates an alternate universe where they all lived happily together (officer lady included for parental support)

I've been told that one should never openly talk about the beast unless you wish to attract it. Still a bad call to not inform everyone, but if I saw signs of that creature I'd probably move away from the area.
You should never openly pronounce its name properly. You can speak of them, but only if you improperly name them I personally use the term Windy boys because I’m not sure which pronunciation is the correct one the one with the hard jago or the hard or dago so best to be safe, never speak their name
Never say it's name? Hell no
Im gonna use what the internet taught me And mispronounce it's name on purpose to get on it's spiritual nerves.

13:32 man went off right about here, all good questions but the sheer number of ideas is staggering. this is why I'm here.
its like how to beat, but even more funny, more jokes, swearing and less censorship
Be honest. if this was real,pretty sure no one would just walk in a house that smells like 4 sweaty toes mixed in with rotten fish and decide:"Hey,I'm gonna try to find out the problem on my own!"
So like a female post hike
This channel is the best. Every insight counts as one of the best.
I hate how horror movies rely on the stupidity of the characters rather than the intelligence of the villain
When the principle went to the attic I would want to add that if you see a door with locks on the outside, it's not to prevent people from going in. It's to prevent something from coming out. So I don't think it would be smart to go in
For something that's always hungry the wendigo seems to leave a lot of meat behind.
I've got ADHD. Sorry, Mr. Perfect.

Honey, wake up! Nerd Explains posted another banger 🥳
"This rute gigant that clearely killed the devil and is wearing his horns as a suvanier" That's one way to describe a Wendigo, and an accurate one.
I find it funny, that the couple of natives are in this movie but as soon as they found out what was happening they just noped right out 😂
He honestly looks like a life of luxury character, just more real
Another banger video, thx for uploading! They're great dinner entertainment for me, which is a little concerning given how these movies seem determined to take away appetites but I'll choose to ignore any signs of psychopathy that might imply.
Oh btw, I recently watched a cosmic horror movie called Color Out of Space with Nicholas Cage, I think it might be up your alley to cover if you haven't heard of it before. I hadn't so I figure it might have flown under the radar.
Anyways, thanks for all the great videos! Looking forward to the next one as always
Killing a skunk with a rock seems like the start of a very bad day.
I fucking love how you describe all this shit I don't even watch this for the survivaltips anymore because I know my dumbass wouldn't get killed in any situation
I love how the Wendigo got white washed, a wendigo is something you can’t kill only run away or cast it away.
Wendigos are monsters that hunger for human flesh but will eat smaller animals if it’s first choice isn’t near. They stalk their prey and when it comes to humans they love to toy with them and get the scared. A wendigo never sleeps and doesn’t mind the light, it hunts in deep forests without mercy, it cannot be reasoned with in this movie the wendigo would’ve ate his kids with no care in they stayed true to the legends. Also, wendigos have power to manipulate your mind to make you image things that aren’t their. Like making you sleep walk into their lair for them to eat you. They have super healing and any damage done will heal when they eat. The wendigo “virus” is super contagious like with a werewolf a single scratch will turn you. They do not hunt in packs they are solitary creatures.
To put a legend against a legend, a skinwalker would fall to a wendigo 9/10.
Wendigos... *shivers* still freaks me out.
This aint yo rp games
The kid needs a Oscar…
OMFG I just watched this last night with 2 friends and was correcting what they did wrong because of you correcting horror movies was in my head lmao
And me and my friends mentioned Lucas was a genius even from the start when we saw him making traps and his final plan to give his “dad” food
Love the "Breaking bad" callout at the beginning, lol. It is funny since Jesse Plemons who plays Paul, played Todd in "Breaking Bad."
As a wise man once said every problem ever can be solved with a Barrett 50 cal
I'd prefer a couple mk 19s. Sixty 40mm incendiary grenades every minute is going to ruin anything's day.
Or a nuclear bomb, cleans everything up with no evidence and possibility of anything surviving.
@@theprogressivecynic2407if you have that budget just send a tomahawk at that thing
This will be unbeaten, as the spirit transfers
What upset me the most is that the wendigo's home is around the great lakes area and Canada but the movie made in Oregon instead but anyway it was a great movie wish we seen more of the wendigo instead of the humans because I love wendigo's they are very cool creature to me at the end of Antler it sad when the lady teacher killed the wendigo.
This movie deserves a sequel
FINALLY HE’S COVERING THIS ONE
17:40 Killed the devil and is wearing his horns as a souvenir is quite the line 😅
Man am I happy another video from you to download for my flight for korea😊
This movie is really on the side of the monsters. Might as well call it 'Gone with the Wendigos".
“Talk about generational trauma” is crazy bro😂😂
holy hell its ABOUT FUCKING TIME someone actually talked about this gem. thank you kind sir
First time I watched one of this series
I was honestly exspecting a bit more from this video
Summing up the plot of the movie quickly, then going into detail about the origin of the wendigo and atleast the weaknesses of it
This is just an average chicago household
Wendigos are misunderstood, they simply want a friend to vibe with cuz they feel lonely
That’s what a wendigo would say 😑
@@user-oi1rg2le7sshhh
As I white women I'm happy to help. Show me the poor antler puppy, I'll pet and love them until I'm eaten.🥰🥰🥰
They don't want a 'Friend' because they're 'lonely' they want a Snack because they're HUNGRY
@@Sate12 anyone here volunteering I’m hungry
nerd all these videos back to back i’m eating good 😩
God- its supposed to be a serious recap but I keep cracking up everytime Nerd audibly gets angered over Paul and Warren holding out on the info and tools
That 5 gum joke was amazing lol
Exigent circusmtances would allow the police officers to enter without a warrant if they have reasonable belief that someone is in danger
For a home with a grass yard near a forrest it looks surprisingly well kept. Even tho it's supposed to not have been for a little while. But whatever I'm no expert.
Yeah, the guy calls it a derelict skeleton of a house. And I'm like, really? Because it's in an incredibly poor part of the country. I've seen people live in a LOT worse. Hell, I think I lived in worse when I was a student. I don't think anyone ever thought of calling the cops about it.
I think it's interesting that the dad and brother had enough sanity left to recognize Lucas as a son and brother so they refrained from attacking him and as interested as they seemed when it comes to using him to get meat, it also is obvious that they refuse to allow him into the attic because they know they won't be able to control himself and would hate to hurt someone they love so much.
Bro we need a horror movie with smart people in it I swear it will absolutely sell
Your videos are 100% worth the price of Patreon. I still subscribe here so I am reminded when videos are uploaded but I hate *stage-youtubesstupidcencorshipbullshit-whisper*. Please keep up the good work. I appreciate someone who lets me decide for myself if I can hear the naughty words or not.
Bro said “this little town in Oregon…” and i said AW HELL NAH im moving to Oregon in 2 days for college😭
Apparently, there’s an actual psychological condition that is related to the wendago it’s called Wittiko Psychosis
It’s a cultural bound syndrome
Fascinating
I stopped watching you for a few month and now I have a lode of vids to watch tonight just got good 👍
Well I be damned. So much about sleeping 7 hours that night. 6 1/2 it shall be.
I saw this movie twice, and it sure was an interesting and different concept of the Windigo legend.
A local junkie evolving rapidly in any way is already horror itself. Fear the Evolved Junkies.
Kinda sad that horror movies can't create new, horrifying monsters that aren't a rip-off of another, already well-worn monster. I'm tired of seeing horror monsters that can be easily defeated with a pinch of common sense and sufficient ammo.
But then You run into the problem of the monster Being some super gimicky creature that can only be beaten in a very specific way.
Like i would rather have powerfull but beatable creatures than the same old demon or shadow monster from the abyss that You need to think happy thoughts to defeat or something.
Also it's just very hard to make something that can both fit in a horror movie And be original.
@@youcanhandlethetruth4695 A overgrown Plant is more original than a xenomorph?
Also the OP wasn't just talking about originality, they were also talking about the fact that a smart enough person could easily dispatch of creatures Like this.
So how the hell does a big Venus fly trap Better than something that can actually hunt.
He says: you cant go over there no more
What she hears: she needs to be more creative with her snooping
😂😂😂😂
“Principals ravaged skin sack” 😭😭
I do wonder where the idea of Wendigos having deer skulls and having long arm limbs
Fun fact: that depiction came from the melding of European settlers and native tribes storytelling to one another. The European settlers biggest fear were Werewolves and vampires, the depiction of a Werewolf at that time was much closer to what you’d see in the movie Dog Soldiers, or the werewolves in Skyrim, long toned slender limbs. A pretty typical werewolf as we know them. But eventually the Native tribes stories mixed with their new neighbors, and somewhere along the line the fear of “Men with antlers and gaping maws of teeth” Became the tale of what we know as The Wendigo.
@@gigawattsfactory6777Im not part of these indigenous tribes, but I’m pretty sure it’s just cultural misinformation. Because indigenous people from what I’ve heard still don’t view the wendigo as an antler bearing creature. It’s just white people who took the native legends and twisted it into something that made more sense to them.
@@jean-luchidalgo5774hence a fusing of settler myth and indigenous myth
Cause it's cool
every other windigo movie I have hated, to the point of hating the crature it's self, yet this was a good apadtation of it I think. making me rethink my position on them.
9:11 just call Dracula and his brides
You should cover dark was the night on how to survive that situation
Can you do again your first video? I will like to see if you change some of your tactics or ot would stay the same on "it follows"
Could you please do a “how to beat” video on a movie called “attraction” or it’s second part? It has cool alien water benders and giant space ships capable of deep faking , controlling mass media and framing people for domestic terrorism. And it has a cool revolution and a government corruption scheme.(It also has a cool underwater scene).I am asking for the fifty fifth time and will continue asking. (It’s my birthday today!)
The fact that the boy already beaten the movie near the beginning with no one the wiser .Is a nice pace.The adults on the other hand.
We need nothing but Sir Hammerlock and a couple of Vault hunters to beat a wendigo!
He's so sassy in this one. I love it
Culturally Speaking, it's taboo to talk about the Wendigo because its said to summon their spirits. So I wouldn't fault the Native American for that.
Honestly, this film was so close to having accurate Wendigos in the film... but they just HAD to use the pop culture Pet Cemetery version of the creature.
People need to STOP using Leshen to depict the Wendigo.
This movie brought tears to my eyes.
Been waiting for this one!
Just some tips to keep you alive just in case of those things are alive or real. Do not say their names free times or they will hunt you down that’s why you can call big Timmy like I do or big John, big George something just not its real name
5:16 Jessie Plemons is saying stay away from there simple stay away people’s meddling leaves them to situations that can be avoided the kid is saying leave it be
"Just bring a flamethrower man"
-Me
thats actually one of the only way too kill wendigo's (burn there hearts (made of ice))
How to beat I love you videos and how you follow different characters not just the mc keep up the work
Whole wendigo thing aside. The dad tried to be the best dad he could be. Before and AFTER transforming. I hope someone creates an alternate universe where they all lived happily together (officer lady included for parental support)
Love the videos, would love to see u do the feast series and stay alive
17:40 lmao best way to describe a wendigo
Naw I be in japan
Narrator have me crying the serascum voice 😭🤣🤣🤣
Alternate title: "Nerd Explains" insults people's decisions
You should do one on “don’t listen”
A actual wendigos heart is so cold, you must throw it into a fire to permanently kill a wendigo.
This movie is seriously underrated.
The kid was so smart to able hide everything and adults were thinking like a kid
Lukas was fighting demons at 12. Poor kid.
Why is the main antagonist which the movie is named after given SO little screen time?
