Mainerd Loyd yeah actually as it turns out the whole rhino theory is mainly because mokele mbembe is some times confused with the emela notuka which is either believed to be a ceratopsid(doubt it) or a rhino
Mokele-Mbembe: Is safe, won't eat ya, just wants his fish. His giant crocodile friend, on the other hand... Big, angry, doesn't like people being near Mokele-Mbembe, thinks you are REALLY tasty.
+Alex DuRain Added an annotation to cover what I was saying that got cut out right then. Still really annoying that it got screwed up by the UA-cam processing..
Seriously Decker, don't ever put a "Mermaid" like that in my face again, ever. Probably the most terrifying thing in this review. That should've been the horror film he made.
Amara reveals that she was supposed to lead the group to do some records at a safe place in the jungle but she refuses to go towards the gateway and leaves, taking one of the boats.
Alright, you fukk'n got me with the long pause edit. I actually thought my internet was being shit for a sec. The video started EXACTLY when I was sitting up to check. Well done
So, I am pretty sure the giant "bat" things that attacked them at the village were supposed to be dimorphodons, a smaller species of pterosaurs with a short snout , raptor like teeth, and a wingspan of about 1.3-1.4 meters
And Dimorphodon is also known to be a very poor flier given its massive head and reduced wings. So the pterosaurs that attack them are actually flightless due to their wings being repurposed for greater movement on the ground, only allowing them to flutter up trees or glide to the ground.
So let me get this straight Sauropod=Plesiosaur Giant Bats= Dinosaurs Dilophosaurus Ripoff= "Ornithopod" "Psittacosaurus" The Hidden ~Great Valley~ Dino Valley is where Gustave has been hiding out all these years Humans = Tools Yeah checks out
So the largest living bird by wingspan I could find ranged anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5m, about 8ft to 11.5ft. So no, planes aren't getting taken down by water fowl with 15 foot wingspans. Also, what the hell kind of Brit uses the feet instead of metres?
Hewy Toonmore yep definitely would watch that movie over this one any day of the week at least they get it right in that movie ..... APART FROM A SEX SENE the heck if it’s a kids film why have a sex sene
@JurassicHero 3 That's living under the assumption that 65 million years isn't enough time for a descendant of sauropods to adapt to an amphibious/aquatic lifestyle.
Hey Shado love your movie reviews. I support you , Dr Wolfula, & Dead Meat......i love the fact yaw 3 review the whole movies & gives us a little comedy to keep us interested. I'm a horror movie fanatic its cool we in the horror community have our own movie reviews...good job.
Never seen this movie, never want too... but as someone thats had an interest in Cryptozoology for 40+ years it appears this movie took all the main African dino cryptids and then completely screwed the fuck out of them. Mokele Maembe is supposed to be like Diplodicus not a Plesiosaur, the ones your mention ARE, from the small few reports people have had of them, supposed to look like Dimorphodons or closely similar and both live in parts of the Congo you simply cant get too even today, im talking jungle so thick and impassable and swamps so large if you arent careful you aint getting out of them alive. Really as someone that takes these things seriously, this movie is kinda insulting.
I thought the title was familiar, I caught this on a netflix binge. Wasn't the worst, but man was not good. It wasn't Alien Origin by any means. I personally thought the flying creatures were a type of pterosaur, and judging by the teeth were probably fish-eaters...making their attacking of large prey odd AND making their 'escape' by boat even more laughable.
I like found footage movies because they do one thing really well that horror fails at most of the time these days: they maintain the mystery. Horro movies working off fixed cameras now always have to throw some CGI monster at you in the third act that, when you see it, makes you go "Well that's not scary at all." Found footage though, at least when its done well, never really shows you what the monster looks like outside of some vague single frames or shadows. A good example is the show Lost Tapes, which each episode tackled a creature that someone supposedly encountered. The Monster of Monterey Bay episode is a good example, the person on the boat has a setup of several cameras that are streaming her trip online, and from various angles you can occasionally see some slight movement in the water right before something happens.
"Remember that whole reason they came out here, Mokele-Mbembe? They like to hang out by the gateway to greet tourists!!" (Camera guy gets eaten) I literally laughed so hard I just peed a little!!
12:01 actually the film describes the creatures as having lost their ability of powered flight in favor of hunting on the ground, a glide is the best their wings can allow. So yes, escaping on the boat makes perfect sense in the logic cannot reach without the risk of drowning.
This reminds me of some loch ness movie i saw once that was made to look like a documentary. I didn't know it was a movie when i first started watching so it actually was freaky at first when weird things started happening
Rewatching old Decker Shado reviews, because, why not? Edit: Also, my mother brought this film home for me from a video store back in 2013, and, well, I never took the disc out of its case. Thanks for the review! Nice to know I didn't miss anything special!
Dang it; this video almost inspired me to name one of my Plesioaurs "Mokele" - as in Mokele Mbembe - in a video game, but now I can't possibly do it without imagining Decker staring at me disapprovingly. Eh, I guess I'll just name one of my Brachiosaurs that.
How are those things bats? They have reptile dinosaur snouts, and are hairless. I’m confused, are we sure the night/boom mic things aren’t the same pteradons from earlier?
12:14 idk what made you think they were bats but they weren't, they were ptrerosaurs, not accurate ones granted but they looked alot more like pterosaurs than bats
+Tyler Law Hollywood bigshots for some reason think it's a goldmine in terms of action and horror. But in reality, it's just obnoxious and a dead gimmic that has overstayed it's welcome years ago. Especially one that eliminates parts of the audience that suffer from motion sickness.
I don't get why if they planned on having multiple types of ancient creatures outside the "source" material. That they didn't just choose to go with the known dinosaurian and pterosaur/giant bat cryptozoological explanations. Both have supposed sightings and myths surrounding them. It's not like they couldn't have also pulled from other cryptozoologist's hypothesises about how Plesiosaurus and other prehistoric water creatures exist in the oceans and other large bodies of water. It's like they barely did any research on this subject at all.
Because of course, if you're a biologist in the field and encounter the young of a carnivore, you should reach your hand out to it and touch it. If it bites you, you definitely won't be in trouble from bacteria.
Plesiosaurs were only about 10 to 12 feet long nose to tail. What they are looking at, by the implied size was either an elasmosaurus, or a hydrotherosaurus. Now Mokele Mbembe is most likely an apatosaurus, or other sauropod.
Watched this as a kid, watched an underwater dinosaur movie too, dinotopia, nat geo's dino documentaries. Still love dinosaurs, hate them water dinosaurs though. They are scary as hell.
Okay, I'll set aside the plesiosaur bit for a moment, and question who the hell decided it was a good idea to use the surgeon's photograph, literally the most iconic image of *the Loch Ness monster,* to depict Mokele-Mbembe? Isn't that kind of like using a still from the Patterson film to depict the Jersey Devil? Also, I _thought_ that the bats were supposed to be pterosaurs, but I guess not. What, were the plesiosaurs and pterosaurs and raptors and shit not enough for you movie, and you *had* to atick giant bats in there?
No, those were supposed to be pterosaurs, a genus called _Dimorphodon._ The problem is, the makers of this film don't know shit about dinosaurs, pterosaurs or any group of extinct animals.
I just saw this movie on tv today and I thought it was.. mmm.. pretty bad. So I came here to see if my opinions were shared. This was a great review, keep it up my dude.
Okay so I’m gonna guess these are the criptids in the movie Mokele Mbembe: plesiosaur some how seriously how a plesiosaur get so far inland or the souropods we see at the end Kongomuto : pteranodon and weird bat things Kaisai rex: that’s my best guess for the Dillo thing
you may want to look into the movie "Turkey Hallow" the kid friendly theme might be out of your area, but it's worth it to see a tree huger who doesn't like to hug and other "issues".
6:00 I thought my iPad just froze and was so scared then I realised this is decker
Me tooo
Same.
I live in South Africa and I can confirm that we are actually the Congo and have bat-dinosaurs made of CGI.
That's pretty cool try not to die
To be fair there was pre historic bats
( gives him a AK-47 with drained uranium rounds and several full clips ) there you go
Nothing matches the tokolosie
JurassicHero 3 r/whoosh
nothing funnier than Decker pissed off kicking a tree
+Rony valadez i agree
Rony valadez Pretty Much XD next thing you know he would be pissed and punching a bush
Rony valadez I just want a. Idea where he just kicks trees
Rony valadez Agreed! XD
Rony valadez it be funny if he kicked two trees
Laughed very hard at the statement of "It's either a sauropod or a rhinoceros". They look so similar.
Mainerd Loyd yeah actually as it turns out the whole rhino theory is mainly because mokele mbembe is some times confused with the emela notuka which is either believed to be a ceratopsid(doubt it) or a rhino
Troll Hunter is a found footage film that actually does the genre justice
And it's Norwegian, so that's a rare gem
After I got a dog, my couch became the couch with the best hair
Ghost81, U are so funny.😅
Lol I have a golden retriever and that is so true
Mokele-Mbembe: Is safe, won't eat ya, just wants his fish.
His giant crocodile friend, on the other hand... Big, angry, doesn't like people being near Mokele-Mbembe, thinks you are REALLY tasty.
His best friend knows what humans can do apparently
That's not crocodile that's mosasaurus
That freeze frame Decker, was pure gold
*Slow claps*
The tree of kicking, wouldn't mind seeing a return of it every so often
Kiba Kush ( insert lenny face )
The tree-kicking scene actually made me bust a gut laughing. Aw, man, you haven't gotten me to laugh that hard in a while. Nice one, as usual! :)
Decker when you say "no one cares" the video freezes for a few seconds.
+Alex DuRain Weird.. I have no idea what happened, the file I uploaded plays fine but on UA-cam it's messed up. :/ goddamnit..
+Alex DuRain Added an annotation to cover what I was saying that got cut out right then. Still really annoying that it got screwed up by the UA-cam processing..
Keep up the good work Decker. We all appreciate your dedication
Shit happens sometimes
+Decker Shado , I thought that you were making a joke about the editing with that. XD.
Decker walks across the news channel at 3:03 but is wearing glasses as a disguise. CLever !
Seriously Decker, don't ever put a "Mermaid" like that in my face again, ever. Probably the most terrifying thing in this review. That should've been the horror film he made.
The Darkest Vader true
So true I go into a panic attack every time I see that and that's what made my nightmares.
Amara reveals that she was supposed to lead the group to do some records at a safe place in the jungle but she refuses to go towards the gateway and leaves, taking one of the boats.
Decker has the most binge-worthy content. It's amazing.
Alright, you fukk'n got me with the long pause edit. I actually thought my internet was being shit for a sec. The video started EXACTLY when I was sitting up to check. Well done
So, I am pretty sure the giant "bat" things that attacked them at the village were supposed to be dimorphodons, a smaller species of pterosaurs with a short snout , raptor like teeth, and a wingspan of about 1.3-1.4 meters
And Dimorphodon is also known to be a very poor flier given its massive head and reduced wings. So the pterosaurs that attack them are actually flightless due to their wings being repurposed for greater movement on the ground, only allowing them to flutter up trees or glide to the ground.
So let me get this straight
Sauropod=Plesiosaur
Giant Bats= Dinosaurs
Dilophosaurus Ripoff= "Ornithopod" "Psittacosaurus"
The Hidden ~Great Valley~ Dino Valley is where Gustave has been hiding out all these years
Humans = Tools
Yeah checks out
I'd rather watch your review than the movie.
John Massari good
To be honest i do the same with these movies
I've seen it it's actually pretty good for a straight to DVD movie
So the largest living bird by wingspan I could find ranged anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5m, about 8ft to 11.5ft.
So no, planes aren't getting taken down by water fowl with 15 foot wingspans.
Also, what the hell kind of Brit uses the feet instead of metres?
Brit? I thought he was an Aussie
you should review the Norwegian movie Troll Hunter.
Frederik Toft I love that movie !
Dido
@@gadielgonzalez2755 ditto*
That movie was a cinematic classic
If I want to watch a movie about Mokele-Mbembe, I'll watch Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend!
That movie was awesome.
Hewy Toonmore yep definitely would watch that movie over this one any day of the week at least they get it right in that movie ..... APART FROM A SEX SENE the heck if it’s a kids film why have a sex sene
Hewy Toonmore that movie destroyed me as a child . I still can’t watch it to this day at 37 years old LOL
@JurassicHero 3
That's living under the assumption that 65 million years isn't enough time for a descendant of sauropods to adapt to an amphibious/aquatic lifestyle.
Have you considered reviewing Slither (2006)?
The trees are your friend Decker, don't kick'em. They're defenceless, don't be mean to them. ; )
trees killed his father
And don't forget about Evil Dead that proved to me the trees or evil when you get you knowed by a tree I think hes earned the right to kick them
Trees with spikes and venom : Yea... were totally defenseles... yees they know nothing... our plan is going real good
When I saw some of the creatures in this film I was pleasantly surprised as well.
to be honest yeah i was prepared for dog shit cgi then they show them and im like aight not bad
This is probably the best Found Footage Film I have ever seen.
There’s also Cloverfield
14:00 and also despite the size in Jurassic Park, the Dilophosaurus was between 15 and 20 feet long.
0:11 That's some great artwork. It's supposed to look like a dinosaur head, right?
Decker i know how you feel:i'm tired of found footage in almost every genre.You kicking the tree was so funny.
Watch trollhunter, the vhs series, and some good episodes of lost tapes, and if you've got the stomach for it cannibal holocaust.
Hey Shado love your movie reviews. I support you , Dr Wolfula, & Dead Meat......i love the fact yaw 3 review the whole movies & gives us a little comedy to keep us interested. I'm a horror movie fanatic its cool we in the horror community have our own movie reviews...good job.
Krypto: Mom dad my friends about to be killed by a guy with a club
Parents:Don't worry be right there. Ok honey time to kill another bully
10:53 What are they? Their appearance is similar to those of Dimorphodons, but I'd like a second opinion.
i think thats what they are attempting to be
Never seen this movie, never want too... but as someone thats had an interest in Cryptozoology for 40+ years it appears this movie took all the main African dino cryptids and then completely screwed the fuck out of them. Mokele Maembe is supposed to be like Diplodicus not a Plesiosaur, the ones your mention ARE, from the small few reports people have had of them, supposed to look like Dimorphodons or closely similar and both live in parts of the Congo you simply cant get too even today, im talking jungle so thick and impassable and swamps so large if you arent careful you aint getting out of them alive.
Really as someone that takes these things seriously, this movie is kinda insulting.
Pete was definitively the best and most consistent character in the whole movie as well as being the ultra Chad he was
Did anyone else think the video messed up when he stopped in the middle of “nobody cares”
Chase Payne me
Yo wait this happened to other people
that poor dead tree man. where's the greenpeace man?
So it's basically "Baby, Secret of the lost legend" lol
Being a paleontologist is awesome. You can always make that alternate timeline a reality Decker!
Hey Decker, have you ever been pointed at the found footage movie "Eyes in the Dark"?
It is actually a decent gem in the found footage genre.
is anyone else seeing the glitch free 6:09 in the video
6:00 decker stares into your soul
21:56 a beautiful landscape full of dinos
Look closely at them there seems to be sauropods and a lone theropod there too
I thought the title was familiar, I caught this on a netflix binge. Wasn't the worst, but man was not good. It wasn't Alien Origin by any means.
I personally thought the flying creatures were a type of pterosaur, and judging by the teeth were probably fish-eaters...making their attacking of large prey odd AND making their 'escape' by boat even more laughable.
Theyre problaby dimorphodons because dinosaur in real life had hair like proto feathers... :^ just like the ones in this movie have
You really think they would do that much research
Well to be fair, dimorphodons did have proto feathers, which made them look like fuzzy giant headed piranah bats
This may actually be the only found footage film, that I'd watch again.
plesiosaurs are NOT dinosaurs, So why is this movie named like this?
T2266 they are acuatic reptiles
Because dinosaur project sounds better than aquatic repitile project... or Plesiosaur project
OMG YES! How DID the footage of the backpack get included with the found footage stashed inside the backpack?
I like found footage movies because they do one thing really well that horror fails at most of the time these days: they maintain the mystery.

6:00 i thought my phone froze for a second there.
Yeah this "found footage"is about as real as Planet of the Dinosaur
This reminds me of some loch ness movie i saw once that was made to look like a documentary.
I didn't know it was a movie when i first started watching so it actually was freaky at first when weird things started happening
" 6:03 " I actually thought my wifi had cut off. Well played.
7:28 "That's not the point" as spit appears on the camera. Say it don't spray it mister
so the congo is Jurassic Park..........SWEET I AM GOING TO THE CONGO!!!
1:30 hey what's up guys it's scarce here
Rewatching old Decker Shado reviews, because, why not?

I love how the cover for this movie makes the shape of a raptor's head ^_^
What the FUCK is with movies and "found" footage
I have no idea
it's cheaper to make
+Tyler Law Hollywood bigshots for some reason think it's a goldmine in terms of action and horror. But in reality, it's just obnoxious and a dead gimmic that has overstayed it's welcome years ago. Especially one that eliminates parts of the audience that suffer from motion sickness.
Tyler Law sometimes it's ok
but it's done way too much
it's like zombie films
some are good
but there are way too many
Stefan Homberger 410 represent ✌️
So chomper can be friendly to even humans!
I know it was unintentional but the that hiccup was going on during your rant about not caring about the editing....kinda made me laugh...but yeah lol
So a movie about the mokele mbembe?
14:10 I think he said Lesothosaurus
Do Raptor Island next!
5:58
..Did I stroke out?
Did you stroke out?
SOMEBODY...must've STROKED OUT JUST NOW!.....
You are my new favorite movie reviewer. Definitely in my top 4, along with Jeremy Jahns, Chris Stuckmann, and Nostalgia Critic.
That is exactly what reaction we all have to found footage film.
Brilliant ending to the "Additional Notes." Hahahahahahaha.
1:39 Oh, come on, Decker. Found Footage isn't all bad.
one of the pictures for the moerllo mombebe monster, is of the Loch Ness XD
You deserve way more subs. You're just great.
I don't get why if they planned on having multiple types of ancient creatures outside the "source" material. That they didn't just choose to go with the known dinosaurian and pterosaur/giant bat cryptozoological explanations. Both have supposed sightings and myths surrounding them. It's not like they couldn't have also pulled from other cryptozoologist's hypothesises about how Plesiosaurus and other prehistoric water creatures exist in the oceans and other large bodies of water. It's like they barely did any research on this subject at all.
damn decker !
also where the hell do you go for your outside shots ?
+Airsoft AL My lawn. It's freakin' huge.
damn...ever thought of doing an epic sword battle or something of that nature with chibbytulu out there for a review ?
People seem to think its a requirement that dinosaur movies be as stupid and scientifically illiterate as possible.
3:10 discount Sam Worthington?
Because of course, if you're a biologist in the field and encounter the young of a carnivore, you should reach your hand out to it and touch it. If it bites you, you definitely won't be in trouble from bacteria.
you didn't have the primal movie they went to Congo to studies the deforestion
Plesiosaurs were only about 10 to 12 feet long nose to tail.
What they are looking at, by the implied size was either an elasmosaurus, or a hydrotherosaurus.
Now Mokele Mbembe is most likely an apatosaurus, or other sauropod.
I find it funny that the video cut out while you were talking about the movie having terrible cut problems XD
1:05 Poor Decker
I just met someone who also knows a lot about dinosaurs and why pterosaurs and such aren't dinosaurs. You're my best friend :D
If I am to guess, the pliosaur might of been the nguma monene, a crocodillian animal said to live near where mokele lives, as far as I know.
Watched this as a kid, watched an underwater dinosaur movie too, dinotopia, nat geo's dino documentaries. Still love dinosaurs, hate them water dinosaurs though. They are scary as hell.
Okay, I'll set aside the plesiosaur bit for a moment, and question who the hell decided it was a good idea to use the surgeon's photograph, literally the most iconic image of *the Loch Ness monster,* to depict Mokele-Mbembe? Isn't that kind of like using a still from the Patterson film to depict the Jersey Devil?
Also, I _thought_ that the bats were supposed to be pterosaurs, but I guess not. What, were the plesiosaurs and pterosaurs and raptors and shit not enough for you movie, and you *had* to atick giant bats in there?
No, those were supposed to be pterosaurs, a genus called _Dimorphodon._ The problem is, the makers of this film don't know shit about dinosaurs, pterosaurs or any group of extinct animals.
6:02 you actually fucking got me there.
Mokele-Mbembe's 2nd explanation is actually an elephant sticking its trunk out while swimming. Also, the tree was already halved, give it a break.
Hey Decker could you after Dinocember look into John Carpenters The Thing(1982) and the prequal The Thing(2011)?
everyone always remembers Paranormal Activity when they hear about a found footage and they always forget about Cloverfield and Quarantine
My mind always goes to Earth To Echo and Project Almanac where I hear found footage lmao
Don't forget about Blair witch... It's a classic, like it or not.
Dinosaur Project
1 aquatic reptile
2 horrible pterosaurs
only dinosaur in the movie
For what called Dinosaur Project?
Thats that... Jurassic park dilhoposaur like dinosaur thats the main dinosaur of the movie... how did you not mention it...
@@CristianoRC tf
I can't even understand your sentence...
Wasn’t it recently ruled that Mokele Membe was most likely an elephant?
1:32
Just when we think Decker couldn’t get more relatable
I'm still pissed we didn't get the T.Rex that was on the main poster
I just saw this movie on tv today and I thought it was.. mmm.. pretty bad. So I came here to see if my opinions were shared. This was a great review, keep it up my dude.
Okay so I’m gonna guess these are the criptids in the movie
Mokele Mbembe: plesiosaur some how seriously how a plesiosaur get so far inland or the souropods we see at the end
Kongomuto : pteranodon and weird bat things
Kaisai rex: that’s my best guess for the Dillo thing
you may want to look into the movie "Turkey Hallow" the kid friendly theme might be out of your area, but it's worth it to see a tree huger who doesn't like to hug and other "issues".
8:00 from the looks of it they are pteranodon, the most famous of the Pterodactyls however I don’t now if they were in africa.
17:29 the giant beast is a sarcosucas impiritor a giant croc that eats souropods for lunch
+Will Cagle and it lived in africa what a couwinkidink
No that was a Pliosaur of some kind. 😑
