I think it was really smart to put away the "Toby the demon plotline," because it was getting so convoluted. But ya, the "Paranormal Activity" title is solely for marketing lol
@@edgarharo7434 I actually had a thought about that too! Or maybe revealing later down the line in potential sequels that the two demons are in the same universe /giving Toby an official demon name like Asmodeus
Occurs to me at the end here, having a 'found footage' horror film from the point of view of policemen with body cameras would actually work quite well since you'd never question why they have them on.
Asmodeus is Tobi. We see in this film that his full name is Asmodeus of the Book of Tobit. Tobi is the nickname Kristi gave him. I'm glad they got rid of the nickname because I can't take a demon named Tobi seriously.
Still dumb though. Tobi possessed Katie and her sister after attacking them one time but in this case they needed to perform a ritual to posses Margot? And the way they made her mom look as asmodeus🤦🏾♀️ so dumb. Would have been so much scarier if she went down in the well and saw her mother down there looking normal but acting creepy because she’s possessed. Then they could have made a story line out of that with Margot trying to help her mom escape not realizing she’s possessed.
At least they're consistent. It's silly that people criticize works they couldn't make themselves or do better making themselves. Those who can't are always critics.

If they had just called this movie “Next of Kin” or something instead of attaching it to the paranormal activity franchise, this would’ve been really good on its own.
I think because of the footage and some multi-generational entity. That _is_ the Paranormal Activity trademark. If they omitted the name, then people would say it is a Paranormal Activity ripoff.
This actually gives an interesting idea for a future horror flick--where the evil "helps" the heroes because it wants to be set free and it turns out the cult are right to be doing what they're doing even if it's horrific. Just an idea.

@@nailinthefashion THANK YOU. This didn't feel like a Paranormal Activity film because it wasn't really found footage. Just keep it found footage of hauntings around the world, it doesn't have to have this overarching, interconnecting story. And it doesn't have to be the same demon. After the 3rd film they should've just moved on to a different demon/entity.
I feel like a way how they could connect this with the main story is that Tobi/the original demon was actually a servant of Asmodeus and wanted a body so he could set him free, which would kinda explain the whole cult this cause he’d want a physical body to have a better chance at setting him free without being detected. Though since Asmodeus is free they might meet up to try to Simon the other princes of hell or something like that and it would be up to the next main cast to try to stop them, but considering that the demons got what they wanted the other princes will be set free into the PA (Paranormal Activity) world
No one in horror movies ever has any point of reference. "Oh my god. What's Asmodeus." "He's a prince of Hell." "How do you know that?" "Did you guys never read the Redwall books?"
Finding out that this demon that's been targeting children is supposed to be Asmodeus Lord of lust really adds an uncomfortable feel when rewatching the original movies
They seem to be unleashing super powered badass demons at the end of these now. Maybe they are putting together a squad of baddies so that they can do a super hero team up movie to battle them, like a Ghostbusters team or a Exorcist Squad.
Hey this is not related to the video but I just wanted to say Thank you for making this vids, they are in their own way entretaining to watch, the time and effort to write a script and the patience to watch some of the worst stuff just so we can enjoy here with you. Thanks man I been loving your content for so many years and ill keep loving it. Keep up the good work and have fun with what your doing
I find it interesting that the protag's mother is named Sarah. Coincidentally, a woman named Sarah was pursued by Ausmodeus in the Book of Tobit. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk also side note* As soon as the name "Ausmodeus" was mentioned, my mind immediately went to Episode 7 of Helluva boss😂 House of Ausmodeus lives forever rent-free in my head
I think this movie is worth it solely for the ending. The whole sequence is really interesting and enjoyable. I loved the things they did with the camera with the slowed down effect (not sure what it's called). Dale was such an enjoyable character too. Also I don't know if anyone else thought this but the scene where Margot is attacked in the night, I thought she was r*ped by the demon/entity. It is a demon of lust etc, after all. It would be a reference too to the older horror film, The Entity, where a woman is r*ped by a spirit/unknown entity. In this video, he says the demon was trying to get rid of Margot so they couldn't do the ritual but if that was the case, it would have killed her, not simply made her bleed. It seems powerful enough to follow through, so with that theory in mind, it's weird that it let her live. I agree with what a lot of people have said here. The Paranormal Activity thing was just a marketing thing. I think it could have stood alone with the title being 'Next of Kin'.
The fact they were turned away at first makes it even more sinister. The cult planned the entire visit so meticulously, the only slip was the teenage girl asking about tik tok 😂😂😂😂
I guess not a lot of people noticed it but at 20:25 you can clearly see her hair shaped like a devil horns. Don't know what it means but I'm guessing there might be two demons: 1 in the cave and 1 in the attic?
This channel deserves every ounce of success and more that is has earned. Your channel has helped me watch and find many films, mainly horror, that have been a thrill to watch. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this one. I think what was above Margot's room was Toby. Also Dale was amazing. Every line from him was gold. Dale talking about the pigs *"So, do they all have like nice butts?"*
@@ralphwarom2514 yeah it looked great and had some fantastic ideas. It kind of felt like chernobyl Diaries where some shots couldn't have had someone filming. The way they are running from "sarah" toward the end right as the chain is breaking free and it has a semi frame cut to the chain breaking. It's Almost like a visualization to the sound.
Always great content from you. I usually watch this before watching the movie to decide if I wanna waste 2 hours. And you thankfully save me from wasting time or make me want to watch. Thank you

@@anubusx it should've ended with the first version, where she flung him into the camera Yes I know there's a version where the cops kill her but that one just sucks
This is such a weird and confusing series. Although I only saw 1, 2 and 3, they were still good. Do you think you could explain Don’t Look Now (1973), or 2001: A Space Odyssey? Or bring back the community vote?
I just rewatched your previous video on the paranormal activity saga and at one point it's mentioned that toby's one of the 7 princes of hell, so now that Asmodeus is in play in this one maybe moving forward it'll be the other princes also making their way into our world.
It's amazing the Paranormal Activity is still going. The first movie really gave me nightmare, I couldn't sleep for weeks. I watched a couple of following movies after it and completely forgot about it. Then YT recommended me this video and this gives me the nostalgia.

@@DanteArisen wow two different opinions. Hmm well I can kinda understand if it had a whimper ending, I kinda had this weird dread for that but if anything I hope it’s enjoyable.
5:10 Christ I remember saying that line so many times to my friend when we were watching Para 3 during English class. When he asked when the ghost will show up, I would respond with "Okay this will happen, but don't worry. It's just the beginning". And I didn't realize that I say it so frequently until a girl we sat next to sighed audibly and mumbled what I said.
I’ve always wanted a movie where there’s a cult of some demon prince and our protags are clearly outmatched by the demon and it’s cult, but in the movie they basically hit that “well if the devil exists then…” moment and basically phone a friend an archangel at the end and get demon gets F’d in the A, unless we want an oh shit moment instead and it wins lol
Thank you foundflix, you’re the only way I can “watch” horror movies. My sister scared me growing up. Freddy Krueger will always scare me no matter how old I am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: I was investigating about Asmodeus bc I didn't remember what demon was he, and he apears in the book Tobit (Toby), and it says that he's hostile to a Sarah. Director just letting some references there. Also, he hates birds and water bc it reminds he of God, and when he is searching Sarah and Chris, it's the only scene in all the film when we can see a bird. And in the final night is raining. Sorry english is not my first language
Asmodeus is "Tobi," he's a demon from the Book of Tobit and his enemy was Tobit's son, Tobias. The possessed Samuel is probably who we saw at the end of the Ghost Dimension.
I'd love to see you do a movie named Afflicted, It's a really underrated found footage movie about vampirism but spun in a horror movie, really solid film
@@RIPToNateDoggIHadToRegulate if you like rock/metal give Year Zero by Ghost a shot it’s a solid song from a solid band. That’s the song they’re talking about
EVERYONE MISSED HER HORNS!!!! REWATCH: As they're getting away in the van and she turns to scream at the farm, her hair makes the shape of two tiny, very distinct horns. We had to rewind it to be sure. AND they are the style as whatever create is outlined on the box cover art. I think she's the demon. And the other guy is the spirit that was trapped in that tiny closet, out to stop her.
@@desireevega7787 I'm with you. I thought so too. I had to rewatch it. After they finally escape the farm, she looks back and screams. She has two tiny, shadowy horns. I thought it was just a trick of the light, so I rewatched it. Then I saw the cover art for the movie! The cover art is a snowy forest, in the shape of a demon face with the EXACT SAME tiny angled horns she has on her head.
@@OnYourSquare Yeah no that's hair, watch the whole scene again. You can clearly see it's hair. One of the """horns""" is even see through, like, well, hair
It's been many years since I watched any paranormal activity movie so I could be mistaken, but isn't Toby supposed to be a demon as well? Or just a spirit?
i would not be shocked if when they make a new movie it will high light a different demon until we hit all 7 we already have 2 toby and Asmodeous ( i think thats how you spell that)
So they’re going to create more of these I would assume. The story is to create physical bodies for all 7 princes of hell is it not? Remember Toby is also 1 out of 7. Toby was able to get a physical body and be set free. Now Asmodeus in this film. I think they’re going to keep this story going for a long time.
Toby is asmodeus they revealed it in the film. His name is Asmodeus of the book of Tobit. The little girl Kristi from the old ones named him Tobi for short.
This is the beginning showing how he got freed but didn’t have his own body he can only posses. Time travel is in the movie so he can bounce around till we get to the originals
Paranormal Activity was definitely just put in the title to try and make the movie do better. IMO, people might've thought the movie would've been better if it wasn't connected to PA. Made our expectations a little too high.
Generally, ever since 2016 I stopped having my phone out at dinner because I think it’s rude asf. I won’t preach it to others at the table because obviously that’s their prerogative (and perhaps I’m too boring) but yea. Non-surprising, I work in the food industry. It’s painful just to look at a table full of phone lookers let alone being the person there hoping for genuine discussion.
Actually do we know they escaped? Margo's shriek after turning around in her seat in the car at the end could mean something popped out of the back seat and got them when they were trying to drive away from the mayhem and madness...and it just wasn't shown, but inferred...
I love how they basically seen the ritual steps on the church floor and ignored them. They put the steps on the floor to warn people of what needs to be done in order to prevent the demon from escaping. It was wrong, but necessary to prevent the evil from escaping.
As a fan of Viziepop's various works, it's weird hearing Asmodeus in this setting, even if this would be more accurate. Wait maybe that's why the sacrifices stopped working, he's got his hands full with Ozzie's right now
Have you noticed how a good amount of protags in supernatural horror movies are actually just the villians because they end of releasing a dangerous demon onto the world? I get the average person isn't signing up to be sacrificed but to save themselves they damn the whole world.
Why sacrifice yourself for the greater good, when you can save yourself and be the hero of your own story? I'd say it PERFECTLY aligns with 'the times', sadly. No more heroes/heroines, only selfish people in it for themselves as the new 'gold standard'. :/

I love how you highlight the positives still, I loved this series and was afraid of the search for a new audience but was satisfied at the end!!!
I literally re-watched you’re ‘Paranormal series explained 1-6’ yesterday. 😂 Timing couldn’t be anymore perfect.
No one in horror movies ever has any point of reference.
"Oh my god. What's Asmodeus."
"He's a prince of Hell."
"How do you know that?"
"Did you guys never read the Redwall books?"
It’s like when zombie movies don’t exist in zombie movies
"Have y'all never seen Supernatural?"
Nothing else like watching found flix and eating dino nuggets.

Your opinions reflect your avatar well. You truly are a man of culture.
@@watermelonheadiego white castle and Mac and cheese
Finding out that this demon that's been targeting children is supposed to be Asmodeus Lord of lust really adds an uncomfortable feel when rewatching the original movies
where are you getting lust from?
he is the master of witches and prince of law.
This guy is too funny 😂
“We’ll looks like mommy’s alive after all “
You’ve made me watch a few movies I didn’t hear about too !
well not we'll(we will)
They seem to be unleashing super powered badass demons at the end of these now. Maybe they are putting together a squad of baddies so that they can do a super hero team up movie to battle them, like a Ghostbusters team or a Exorcist Squad.
Or Constantine? Liked that movie.
How do you manage to constantly be the best horror channel out here, man?
Good job on another well done video.
Hi I’m James A Janisse… oh wait
Dead Meat is the best horror movie channel actually.
Hey this is not related to the video but I just wanted to say Thank you for making this vids, they are in their own way entretaining to watch, the time and effort to write a script and the patience to watch some of the worst stuff just so we can enjoy here with you. Thanks man I been loving your content for so many years and ill keep loving it. Keep up the good work and have fun with what your doing
I agree with Edgar. Thanks!
Ditto
I find it interesting that the protag's mother is named Sarah. Coincidentally, a woman named Sarah was pursued by Ausmodeus in the Book of Tobit. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
also side note*
As soon as the name "Ausmodeus" was mentioned, my mind immediately went to Episode 7 of Helluva boss😂 House of Ausmodeus lives forever rent-free in my head
That one and the Asmo from Obey Me. LOL
"Aww... ain't that just such a happy display? It SiCkEnS meee... GET THE FUCK OUT!"
What TED talk?
I think this movie is worth it solely for the ending. The whole sequence is really interesting and enjoyable. I loved the things they did with the camera with the slowed down effect (not sure what it's called). Dale was such an enjoyable character too. Also I don't know if anyone else thought this but the scene where Margot is attacked in the night, I thought she was r*ped by the demon/entity. It is a demon of lust etc, after all. It would be a reference too to the older horror film, The Entity, where a woman is r*ped by a spirit/unknown entity. In this video, he says the demon was trying to get rid of Margot so they couldn't do the ritual but if that was the case, it would have killed her, not simply made her bleed. It seems powerful enough to follow through, so with that theory in mind, it's weird that it let her live. I agree with what a lot of people have said here. The Paranormal Activity thing was just a marketing thing. I think it could have stood alone with the title being 'Next of Kin'.
The fact they were turned away at first makes it even more sinister. The cult planned the entire visit so meticulously, the only slip was the teenage girl asking about tik tok 😂😂😂😂
The reception for the internet must be TERRIBLE, though? :P
Foundflix: Meet the Amish and their boss Asmodeus
Me after watching the latest Helluva Boss episode for the tenth time: *gIvE mE a ThRuSt*
You don’t need to call me out like this
how did i know that i would see people saying this
Ok bro.
Me: *performs the whole damn song*
From the groins to the bust
My cousin was really excited about this movie, makes me miss the good old days of found footage films
The early 2000's were a beautiful time
Quarantine, REC, Grave Encounters are some great found footage films
@@WhoTfIzKTManee the Poughkeepsie tapes are my favorite and if you like grave encounters have you tried hell house LLC? It's very similar vibes
The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield.
@@WhoTfIzKTManee those scared the absolute shit out of me especially grave encounters
I guess not a lot of people noticed it but at 20:25 you can clearly see her hair shaped like a devil horns. Don't know what it means but I'm guessing there might be two demons: 1 in the cave and 1 in the attic?
This channel deserves every ounce of success and more that is has earned. Your channel has helped me watch and find many films, mainly horror, that have been a thrill to watch. Thank you.
That ending is actually really good. I love seeing the bad win and its done pretty well.
I really enjoyed this one. I think what was above Margot's room was Toby. Also Dale was amazing. Every line from him was gold. Dale talking about the pigs *"So, do they all have like nice butts?"*
I actually laughed a lot in the one. The tall dude was so damn funny. XD.
Also, the cinematography was amazing.
@@ralphwarom2514 yeah it looked great and had some fantastic ideas. It kind of felt like chernobyl Diaries where some shots couldn't have had someone filming.
The way they are running from "sarah" toward the end right as the chain is breaking free and it has a semi frame cut to the chain breaking. It's Almost like a visualization to the sound.
@Soots Mcsoots I watched the movie over a week ago. I obviously already know the story lol
@Soots Mcsoots you realise people can comment while watching right?
Best paranormal activity movie by far
Asmodeus.. takes me back to early 80s D&D days
FoundFlix always with the good content! Didn’t know he posts on Sunday !
During a really bad day at work…..this video made things better
Thank you man!!!!
Perfect timing sir I’m falling asleep to this
I should probably be studying for my science test but this is more important
Exactly. Math is stupid, so I'll watch this rather than study for my exam Thursday
Priorities
Same😭
When in doubt, “C” your way out
Yes! I was waiting for you to review this movie. No matter how bad or good the movie is you always make it better with these videos
Always great content from you. I usually watch this before watching the movie to decide if I wanna waste 2 hours. And you thankfully save me from wasting time or make me want to watch. Thank you
When this man posts you know it’s a good Sunday/ Wednesday
that slow motion shot was actually pretty sick, gave me some video game cutscene vibes
Kill Cam on 10
Yesssss, I was hoping you would do this one! 🙌
Your movie reviews are the best everytime I watch a scary movie i go to your channel to see if you have covered it, your comedic touch to covering the horror genre is a good mix. Great work!
This movie was scary as heck when I watched it I’m glad you did a ending explained on it found flixs lol I’m happy you did it so soon too I was hoping to hear your output of it
I had no idea this was actually filmed in western New York. Very cool! I visit one of the local Amish communities every year to shop. Very nice people.
"If the filmmakers decide to make a follow up film"
Bro these talentless hacks will milk this "franchise" until the end of time, there will be dozens more movies.
I agree. This film series should of ended ages ago.
@@anubusx it should've ended with the first version, where she flung him into the camera
Yes I know there's a version where the cops kill her but that one just sucks
This is such a weird and confusing series. Although I only saw 1, 2 and 3, they were still good. Do you think you could explain Don’t Look Now (1973), or 2001: A Space Odyssey? Or bring back the community vote?
I just rewatched your previous video on the paranormal activity saga and at one point it's mentioned that toby's one of the 7 princes of hell, so now that Asmodeus is in play in this one maybe moving forward it'll be the other princes also making their way into our world.
It's amazing the Paranormal Activity is still going. The first movie really gave me nightmare, I couldn't sleep for weeks. I watched a couple of following movies after it and completely forgot about it. Then YT recommended me this video and this gives me the nostalgia.
Every single episode I listen to him, but I also look at all the DVDs he has, wondering which ones I own. I’m in the process of getting a home and I can tell you that my nerd/man cave will have many many DVD shelves just like that
Wait this was filmed in Buffalo, Ny? That is epic!! I am resident of Buffalo and never knew!! Interesting that i found this channel :O plus the love of all things creepy you got me hooked!
*Make an exploration video of that place.*
I had no idea another one was even released.
Literally had no advertisement. Just quietly dropped it on some streaming platforms.😂
Why can't the paranormal activity series just have Katie as the villain because those were great.
Maybe Katie is no longer because Tobi has a body himself now
I miss Katie too
“Everyone is so ‘present’” - nice foreshadowing~
Can you please do a ending explained on the new 2021 film “Antlers” would really enjoy it I love your content as well keep up the good work !
Facts been waiting on dude to drop these vids yo
I’ve been dying to see it, I hope it’s at least good. Looked great from the trailers
@@dyllanrodriguez2828 Oh it's awesome! Definitely dark, very disturbing, and PLEASE be aware of strong seizure warning a few times, especially when they watch a projector in class!
@@dyllanrodriguez2828 it actually sucks really bad. Great idea and the setup in the beginning and middle is great, but the ending kills all of it. Making character points that just don’t make sense, hinting at character points that they never expand on.
@@DanteArisen wow two different opinions. Hmm well I can kinda understand if it had a whimper ending, I kinda had this weird dread for that but if anything I hope it’s enjoyable.
5:10 Christ I remember saying that line so many times to my friend when we were watching Para 3 during English class. When he asked when the ghost will show up, I would respond with "Okay this will happen, but don't worry. It's just the beginning".
And I didn't realize that I say it so frequently until a girl we sat next to sighed audibly and mumbled what I said.
I didn't even know this existed 😂
I’ve always wanted a movie where there’s a cult of some demon prince and our protags are clearly outmatched by the demon and it’s cult, but in the movie they basically hit that “well if the devil exists then…” moment and basically phone a friend an archangel at the end and get demon gets F’d in the A, unless we want an oh shit moment instead and it wins lol
Thank you foundflix, you’re the only way I can “watch” horror movies. My sister scared me growing up. Freddy Krueger will always scare me no matter how old I am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: I was investigating about Asmodeus bc I didn't remember what demon was he, and he apears in the book Tobit (Toby), and it says that he's hostile to a Sarah. Director just letting some references there. Also, he hates birds and water bc it reminds he of God, and when he is searching Sarah and Chris, it's the only scene in all the film when we can see a bird. And in the final night is raining.
Sorry english is not my first language
Asmodeus is "Tobi," he's a demon from the Book of Tobit and his enemy was Tobit's son, Tobias. The possessed Samuel is probably who we saw at the end of the Ghost Dimension.
@Stephanie Slayer no, he's possessed by Tobi
The camerawork and how they integrated dthe in world cameras into the film was really really good.
I literally watched it, and it said you posted 11 min ago. Love ya man.
I'd love to see you do a movie named Afflicted, It's a really underrated found footage movie about vampirism but spun in a horror movie, really solid film
When he said Asmodeus I started singing the song by Swedish metal called Ghost. Where Asmodeus is one of the opening words to the song.
Can you repeat please.
@@RIPToNateDoggIHadToRegulate if you like rock/metal give Year Zero by Ghost a shot it’s a solid song from a solid band. That’s the song they’re talking about
When he said Asmodeus, I immediately thought of ‘The House of Lust’ and Helluva Boss
As soon as he said tiktok, that killed the whole horror movie vibe.
You are the best horror movie reviewer on UA-cam in my opinion
every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I literally just watched the movie
16:10 horror movie lore be like: "just trap a demon in a lady to stop it f*cking up your corn"
EVERYONE MISSED HER HORNS!!!!
REWATCH: As they're getting away in the van and she turns to scream at the farm, her hair makes the shape of two tiny, very distinct horns.
We had to rewind it to be sure. AND they are the style as whatever create is outlined on the box cover art.
I think she's the demon. And the other guy is the spirit that was trapped in that tiny closet, out to stop her.
it's a pretty good observation but I think it's a reach, baby hair sticking out or "horns" are pretty normal when your hair is a mess
@@desireevega7787 I'm with you. I thought so too. I had to rewatch it.
After they finally escape the farm, she looks back and screams. She has two tiny, shadowy horns. I thought it was just a trick of the light, so I rewatched it. Then I saw the cover art for the movie!
The cover art is a snowy forest, in the shape of a demon face with the EXACT SAME tiny angled horns she has on her head.
@@OnYourSquare Yeah no that's hair, watch the whole scene again. You can clearly see it's hair. One of the """horns""" is even see through, like, well, hair
@@solochi45 I completely agree it's her hair. It's simply in a very subtle 'horn' shape. One BOTH sides of her head.
@Jax Teller [Shoulder shrug] Maybe. I haven't seen it.
Still, it's good to see that I wasn't crazy and there were others who noticed it.
“It’s Tobi with an I.. sometimes I like to spell with an i at the end and a smiley face instead of the dot”
This was pretty good and a new direction. It was a surprise to see them now taking on real Demons. Very interesting.
It's been many years since I watched any paranormal activity movie so I could be mistaken, but isn't Toby supposed to be a demon as well? Or just a spirit?
@@menoguchi Yeah, Toby is demon, they just haven't revealed what demon he is exactly.
i would not be shocked if when they make a new movie it will high light a different demon until we hit all 7 we already have 2 toby and Asmodeous ( i think thats how you spell that)
Garbage
@@menoguchi your right but they never said which one with Toby, maybe a comeback?. This movie tho used a real one.
The "Bone" Throne, sounds like something an old military buddy would come up with.
Honestly, I'd love to see another movie or two of Asmodeus, then a good old ghost fight between Asmodeus and Toby.
They are the same entity
asmodeus is tobi
You know how in Elden Ring, where Queen Marika and Radagon are one in the same?
Yeah, sort of the same thing here with Asmodeus and Tobi.
@@jarrettbattle9295 Huh. The more you know
Thanks again for helping us get everything out of this one. So Thankful for your review. I like when u give your opinions too
Movie: **mentions TikTok**
Me: **pained groan**
So they’re going to create more of these I would assume. The story is to create physical bodies for all 7 princes of hell is it not? Remember Toby is also 1 out of 7. Toby was able to get a physical body and be set free. Now Asmodeus in this film. I think they’re going to keep this story going for a long time.
Toby is asmodeus they revealed it in the film. His name is Asmodeus of the book of Tobit. The little girl Kristi from the old ones named him Tobi for short.
@@unknownd5679 nope
This is the beginning showing how he got freed but didn’t have his own body he can only posses. Time travel is in the movie so he can bounce around till we get to the originals
@@OMGaBlackGguy Possession is having a body...🤦
@@tufungagreen5571 Yes lol
Paranormal Activity was definitely just put in the title to try and make the movie do better. IMO, people might've thought the movie would've been better if it wasn't connected to PA. Made our expectations a little too high.
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Toby Maguire?
I was getting worried when I didn't see a video for 2 weeks glad to see everything is okay!
Foundflix TRENDING! 🎞🔥
Paranormal Activity: We like crazy convoluted endings around these parts.
Ending Explained: Its free real estate.
Generally, ever since 2016 I stopped having my phone out at dinner because I think it’s rude asf. I won’t preach it to others at the table because obviously that’s their prerogative (and perhaps I’m too boring) but yea.
Non-surprising, I work in the food industry. It’s painful just to look at a table full of phone lookers let alone being the person there hoping for genuine discussion.
A pool of blood is blasted on the celling
Doctor: welp must be that time if month again
The things women go through 😂
Honestly the dumbest part of the whole movie
*Soooo, that isn't realistic..?*
i get all my movie recommendations from you dude, huge fan of yours :D
I watched this. Months later watched the movie and immediately remembered this explanation now im back rewatching this. Your channel is amazing ahha
Actually do we know they escaped? Margo's shriek after turning around in her seat in the car at the end could mean something popped out of the back seat and got them when they were trying to drive away from the mayhem and madness...and it just wasn't shown, but inferred...
I love how they basically seen the ritual steps on the church floor and ignored them. They put the steps on the floor to warn people of what needs to be done in order to prevent the demon from escaping. It was wrong, but necessary to prevent the evil from escaping.
As a fan of Viziepop's various works, it's weird hearing Asmodeus in this setting, even if this would be more accurate. Wait maybe that's why the sacrifices stopped working, he's got his hands full with Ozzie's right now
Good to know I'm not the only one, I can't help but think of Asmodeus's song Lmao
@@cryptid_currency4057 That song (hell Asmodeus as a character) was way more awesome than it had any excuse to be. And bless it for that.
I could listen to you talkin adout scary shit all day your funny as hell
I love you Foundflix!!!!!
Have you noticed how a good amount of protags in supernatural horror movies are actually just the villians because they end of releasing a dangerous demon onto the world? I get the average person isn't signing up to be sacrificed but to save themselves they damn the whole world.
Why sacrifice yourself for the greater good, when you can save yourself and be the hero of your own story? I'd say it PERFECTLY aligns with 'the times', sadly. No more heroes/heroines, only selfish people in it for themselves as the new 'gold standard'. :/
