I don't need it, but if I do i will use your link, thank you Dead Meat Team.
@@cggc5871 what 💀
Madison actually tells CW that last time she sat by a campfire was with the girl scouts. So it's not that unlikely she would have the skills to survive in the wild, nice detail.
Yeah, the movie has those small hints. Another one is the mention of the rain seasons in a completely different context, but it explains how Madison survived.
One thing I found funny to think about: If Madison met this girl like within the last few days, by herself, in the middle of Thailand with nobody accompanying her, and CW gave that creepy ass speech around the fire on a deserted island far from the mainland, I don't believe madison would just brush it off. She'd either sleep in the boat, stay up all night or leave right then and there. Yea it was late and they were drinking, but I've never met a woman who wouldn't have immense anxiety from all of that. Everyone and their grandma knows human trafficking is a big problem.
You'd be surprised how ignorant people can be, especially tourists. Lot's of people assume other places around the world are just as safe as their home country, and just think the media "plays up" how dangerous it is.
Hell look at how many "solo female traveller Saudi Arabia" guides or articles there are.
Probably in her best interest that she didn't - CW proved that she's more than willing to kill those that catch onto her bull.
Naive people do exist and I know of some who would actually brush this off.
No not really, i've seen influencers on solo trips who decide it's safe enough to hitchhike with 3 stranger men... if that doesn't sound like trouble than i dont know what does.
Problem is she's not an average woman she's an influencer they have this weird not entitlement( but I don't know the word for it) notion people won't do anything to them because how "famous and popular" they are I've seen influencer women do things that no normal woman will put themselves into willingly
It's so tragic how Ryan got a bit of a redemption arc towards the end, but couldn't even discover that Madison was still alive
The only reason Ryan was there was because he was so possessive and controlling of his ex that he stalked her to a new address and broke into her house ☠️
Ryan needed to die for Madison to have an actual happy ending - if CW hadn't ended up being a serial killer this would have been a very different film with Ryan as the villain
Bruh how did he screw up so badly
I thought the birthmark was a burn scar or something. It's also interesting that it's the actual actress's birthmark and not prosthetics. It definitely worked in her favor for this character.
her birthmark has nothing to do with her character. That's just how she looks. Anyone in this movie could have a birthmark and it wouldn't change anything.
@@djvonchowder1071nah it definitely adds to the character. A girl with a huge unhidable birthmark on her face would probably feel self conscious and therefore angry and vengeful against other more “pretty” girls who flaunt their beauty without even knowing how lucky they are.
@@GustEdgeOfficial did you watch the tedx talk lol
@@djvonchowder1071 actor and character are 2 different things.
@@TylerDollarhide nope
Cassandra Naud did amazing as a leading actress in this film. I like how Dead Meat is passionate about Horror Films from Shudder since they have been stepping up their game on the genre.
Not readn allat lil bro
Shudder is a very cool service, i hope that they grow bigger so they can host all manner of films and shows of our favorite genre.
@@cggc5871illiterate
I really loved it! I always thought it was a scar from a tumor, but I did not knew it was a birthmark. Keep on rocking Dead Meat!
@@cggc5871 Are you illiterate?
Honestly props to Maddy for surviving so long on that island. Her ability to persevere and remain calm when taking her opportunity to escape is impressive. You can tell she had worked it out and was waiting for CW to come back.
I hope to god that this leads to Cassandra Naud getting some much deserved exposure, from what I've seen here, she's fantastic as CW and I loved at the ending, she wasn't even mad, just laughing like a "Shit, you got me."
Agree, her reaction was interesting - like she was happy she had found a worthy opponent.
@@thehitherto5348 I think that's, in a weird way, more chilling than someone flipping their shit or getting upset, because CW did all this horrific stuff and she doesn't even care that she lost, it's like it's all a game to her.
You'd think she would have planned for that, even just as a precaution.
Remember kids blood is delicious :3
I believe the laugh is more of an irony thing for her. How she gave that whole speech that no one will look for her, no one will care about her, and everyone will forget her. Since she stole other people's identities, avoided having her picture taken, and probably erased all known traces of her, she's fallen into her own trap.
Dude watching the final moments of the movie genuinely made me yell out; "GO MADISON, LET'S F*CKING GOOO" which not a single movie had managed to make me do before.
Well, to be fair there are not a lot of movies with Madisons to cheer for.
@@tomassegura I legit laughed out loud, well done
Probably my favorite of the "get to the numbers" segment 😂
🤫
I think Zoren is dying to do another kill count! 😂
@@lowcarbcomedy What happened to the real James Zoran?
Meanwhile james in a deserted island with a coconout wilson
I really wish it was one of those were Zoran replaced James in the Numbers section pretending to be him but nope, coast is clear.
With that "To the Numbers" transition, it'd be genius if Zoran did the next kill count.
Identity theft is not a joke Jim!
Yeah Jim!
Millions of families suffer every year!
@@kcwalnuts2433 MICHAEL!
Yup.
Dammit, Jim! He's a kill-counter, not a detective.
Thanks for the Skeleton shoutout James! Appreciate you! 💫
Woah! What an awesome comment to get! Thank YOU Dan, I listen to your song all the time!
@@DeadMeat You're welcome. Love to hear that. I'm happy you dig it!
She really told Maddy "You're afraid of being Ashes. Of being forgotten. And you will be forgotten, Joker"
"Because of me"
Why does the jonkler? is he stupid?
ARKHAM KNIGHT REFERENCE RAAAAAAH
Joker: No, please! I need you!
@@jaketaller8567 Crane: "Now you see, Gotham, you have no hero"
I do like that this movie shows the problems and troubles of being a influencer and why sometimes being a influencer isn’t as marvelous as it may seem from the outside looking in
Late Night with The Devil - Hell yeah. Thank you James for choosing that.
Yay I watch a review of it
such a good film...
I remember walking at cinema and the poster showed a 100% Rotten Tomatoes (It's not 100% anymore) and I thought it that movie would be great.
I saw the How to beat video of it now I’m intrested for the kill count
That movie was so scary that my watch twice alerted me to my elevated heart rate.
i adore these types of movies, they always remind you to do a quick reality check every few months to see if you’re turning into them.
11:53 that's right - Sara Canning, who plays jessica in this film, played Jacquelyn in the 3-season series of a series of unfortunate events!
A good labyrinth is full of secrets
The series was solid, but the movie is better imo
knew her from tvd, i loved her as jenna
honestly, her casting in this must've been a Very Fortunate Day for her
@@pixwool VFD😱
The BF being killed was one of the most unbelievable kills ever. He had a knife, free hands and access to thighs.
Being tackled into water is already pretty disorienting, even more so when he truly didn't expect it. That, coupled with being choked underwater and the panic that comes with it? I don't blame him for not being able to get his bearings in time.
@@moose1577adrenaline exist it was extremely unlikely and unbelievable
19:35 RIP Shelley Duvall (1949-2024)
Rest in peace, Wendy.
rip shelly and fly high
Shelley is the reason why i love The Shining movie so much, may her soul rest in heaven
RIP
Who?
19:21 Blood ran cold from that jumpscare. Jfc. 😂😂😂
Watched this last week per your recommendation and absolutely loved it!! The pool kill was brutal. When she pulled up to that beach at the end I was soooooo ready for justice.
Yeah same. Was kind of hoping Ryan’s body would also be dumped there so that Madison wouldn’t have to deal with it, but then that would add to CW’s chance of survival haha
I love how involved the crew is now getting in these kill counts!
Random tip: you have to email James if you want to request a kill count
yeah i remember doing that for never hike alone 2 and than it later came out
James’s mods and him are terrible people in real life but are kind on there channel smh
@@Jaws-p2k lmao buddy you joined a week ago. You barely even know about this guy
@@johnsonsharon81 actually, im on a different account :)
@@johnsonsharon81 my yt accounts keep getting banned so i use this now
It’s so cool to see actors that I grew up watching doing good in their careers and doing big films and tv shows. The actress for Madison I know from a Disney XD show called “Mr. Young” where she played the lead character’s sister named ivy. Knowing her from that and now seeing her in this just makes me happy and proud.
Now I've been jumpscared by Joseph Quinn and Zoran.
😈
When did Joseph get you xD
Influencer (2023) was genuinely one of the bigger surprises that I've watched.
holy shit. the earliest i will ever be to a dead meat video
Samee
same
Me too😂😂
Same
Same here
This is a movie that subverts expectations extremely well.
I can confirm this is what happens to every social media influencer
Fr fr
Did it happen to you? Are you a ghost??? 😱
@@KingOfGaymes yes. boo
Okay new theory, despite "warning" James about Puppet James, I think Zoran might be working together with Puppet James to replace James. But if true, this partnership will likely fall through as both Zoran and Puppet James want to take James's place.
That's not your man, that's your 'manager'
I did indeed check out Influencer for myself before watching this Kill Count and it was a VERY fascinating experience. I spent a lot of the movie asking to myself "where are they going with this?" and I was rarely if ever able to guess correctly. It kept me on my toes the whole way through and I'm REALLY glad I watched it. Not sure if it's my favourite of these social media-type horror/thriller movies but it's definitely great.
Influencer does one of my fave things a horror movie can do: have a solid chunk that feels like it could belong in any other genre. It’s easy to imagine a completely different buddy comedy version that involves Madison and CW having adventures in Thailand before Madison gets her temp passport and returns to her normal life, changed by her fun times with CW.
Looking forward to the Late Night with the Devil KC. Hope that the discussion/mention of the AI debacle doesn’t take up too much time. Yes, it needs to be addressed and I have no issue with folks being upset over its use, but it was frustrating to see it get lambasted so strongly when other much better funded projects also used AI got very little censure.
Not readn allat lil bro
Go fill out a job application instead of comment section lil bro
You know, that kinda makes me want to see a buddy comedy movie of Madison and CW, maybe with Madison deciding to stay in Thailand with her new best friend?
@@cggc5871it’s 2 fucking paragraphs go fix your TikTok rotted brain
@@cggc5871my guy did you even pass middleschool?
"Damn CW, you gotta type better than your shows are written" is such an incredible line
I’ve been watching your older videos and I love seeing your growth. There’s so much emotion to your voice and it sounds less like you’re reading a script. Keep it up James!
I miss the older videos 😢
@Chitownhomestead Well, they’re still there. You can rewatch them whenever you want.
Every once in a while James will reference a hyper specific thing that I’m into and it’ll hit me like a ton of bricks. Like the Johnny from Ed, Eddie, n’ Eddy reference during the stepfather Kill Count. That Aries Music Video reference was one of those moments.
I personally found CW's decision to leave Madison on the island without killing her a bit strange, especially as she readily kills Ryan and Jessica out in the open. I also would have liked to have seen Madison's survival on the island, like a modern day version of Cast Away.
I think her plan was to take Jessica to the island, especially since it’s implied she’d been there before they just started to work things out too soon
Perhaps Ryan was correct in his read of CW feeling alone, maybe she got attached to Madison because they both were lonely in a sense?
In addition, Jessica and Ryan actively 'betrayed' CW, so she may of had a lot less pity for them? Idk though
@@mysteriouscolours1532she know she feels alone but she is showing her what it's really like. Her loneliness was a choice. Now it's not a choice.
I think the idea is that CW wants them to have to live (even for just a few days) with the fact that in reality they are completely alone, and no one is looking for them because no one actually cares on social media. She definitely leaves them all alive on purpose. She would have done the same with Jessica, but things with her and Ryan go so awry, CW just kills them and changes her plans. At that point she is spiraling a little bit and kills them out of rage.
Those were kills of necessity due to being found out. CW's goal isn't to murder, it's to make her targets suffer in their isolation, to make them hurt in their abandonment by taking away their audience, their deaths are just incidental. That she assumed that her marks were also too dumb and incapable of surviving beyond that point is the real mistake since it's clear she just assumes that they all starve, die of despair, or succumb to the elements in short order.
Zoran, you can't keep killing James all the time!
James do the Pumpkinhead series !
He doesn’t take comments requests
On godd!!!
Straight up. I just randomly remembered that very sad, messed up opening of Pumpkinhead 2 like a month ago
You have to email them for requests
Great idea
CW's birth mark is so cool
I love how creative he is with the sponsorships makes me actually wanna watch it 😭
The cherry blossom flower dress she wore and then burnt up, makes me think of Arizona Iced Tea lol
18:38 justice was not served
Mad respect for the director cutting the trailer himself! So many editors don't realize how much they ruin the excitement and mystery before the actual release.
I said it during the Hostel Kill counts, I say it again. This is why when I travel abroad, I do it with a tour group.
Wuss!
Traveling is way more fun alone!
@@coywarrior71 For women especially it is very dangerous to travel alone, I wouldn’t downplay that.
You do it because of... thriller movies? What's next, you avoid steel chairs because of pro wrestling?
Well done, now you’ve influenced someone to make a horror film where someone gets killed by a travel group buddy xD
Hands down the funniest “to the numbers” bit to date! That had me dying from laughter 😂
“We’re a long way from Scream 3 in 2000” 😭
0:56 you a dj James ??
James A Janisse is amazing, he does such a great job with his vids. Respect.
4:48 JAMES LIKES GORRILAZ
Caught me so off guard, didn’t know he liked gorillaz
I watched Influencer yesterday so I didn't spoil it with the Kill Count so I'm super pumped to watch this today!
Edit: Just finished the Kill Count and wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the movie!! I'm glad I watched it beforehand. Also this is one of my favorite To The Numbers bits. Hilarious stuff y'all.
God to see that her birth mark didn’t discourage her
Every Friday (Australia) it is tradition for me to watch these and eat junk food
I've slowly been getting more into horror movies thanks to the podcast giving me an easy way to see if a movie is going to hit the tropes I like, Influencer was absolutely one of those
Hope that James covers the Killjoy Franchise. It's highly underated
Ironically I asked him to kill count the Killjoy movies.
Unfortunately they have shifted to only cover the movies that will get views, so more obscure old ones take less priority over modern ones that are more favored by the algorithm, it sucks, I know
I know it’s a super strange thing to point out but the character or the actor herself has some form of martial background. While she was drowning Ryan, she sank her hooks in on him (or in lame man terms; she tucked her legs in front of his knees, preventing his ability to escape and increasing the force of the choke on the neck.)
The ending skit was hilarious. Good vid. Definitely would have skipped this one but it looks great. Gotta check this movie out
19:10 Tip: Never wear glasses when facetracking or deepfaking. The reflection and rim of the glasses fucks up the tracking SO BADLY. Source: I'm a vtuber that wears glasses irl and I'd have to play games and use my computer pretty much blind or VSeeFace straight up couldn't track my eyes. So I just use the auto eye blinks and have the look follow my mouse cursor.
Influencer is a good movie, but I'm way more into Sissy - actually, after reading Horror Noire and similar texts, I have my own thoughts about that depiction of influencer horror and survival. Anyway, the thing about such stories that scares me a bit is seeing my students - some as young as 11yo - trying SO HARD to be the *next huge influencer*, some in the worst way possible... I wish I could discuss movies like this with them, but... I don't need more problems in life. 😅
As sad and appalling as it seems, I can't say I blame them. It's more or less the only avenue left with a possibility towards fame and fortune left for the current generation as movies and television continue their slow death spiral and everything moves to online content creation as the primary driver of culture. Yeah, the odds are terrible that it'll pay off, yeah, it's a soulless grind that puts you at the most cruel mercies of audience engagement and soulless content generation, but... What else is there? Jobs are turning into low paying gigs and nothing is affordable anymore. The only thing they have left to market is their soul.
@@KentuckyKaiju as the subway takes guy says, 100% agree. The main issue is that they don't deal well with "simple" things like low grades or being cut off/mistreated by [former?] friends, but they're already exposed to the hardships of failing - or worse - at something "easy" as posting personal photos and everything else... Like CW in the movie, they wanna feel liked, and some aren't
Sissy def was great
best get to the numbers in a lil while lmaoooo
Yo Stax!🤝
Yessss! Late Night with The Devil, thanks so much James, I’ve been waiting for this movie kill count
That term "influencer" is a strong one alone. Well it's something to definitely question. To flow into feeble minded immune systems. These terms like 'viral' explains it all. A lot of social media is 'communicable'.
This is one of the few movies where the characters makes smart decisions and ask the right questions
I'd never heard of this movie, but I checked it out so I could watch this Dead Meat ep... it was so good! Twisty, unpredictable, well acted, beautifully shot. Hope you guys covering it gives it a big boost on streaming.
You put me onto this movie last year and I remembered being pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was after the first 20 minutes. I'm glad to see you guys doing a kill count on it now.
I love these Kill Counts, man. They inspire me to watch movies like this that I normally probably wouldn’t even know about. Grateful for the work the Dead Meat team does.
And that “To the numbers” bit was an all-timer.
just woke up to this vid, glad to watch while recovering from surgery thx James :]
I hope your recovery goes well.
@@CrowIsStoned42 hope you have a swift, uncomplicated recovery!
Company system is down so I’m getting paid to watch this video right now
Hell yeah!
So glad this channel is introducing me to all these awesome films
Just finished last week's Kill Count yesterday so I didn't have time to watch The Influencer before this upload 😭 anyways bye for now, gotta watch the film first.
I'm back.
Hell yeah Influencer!!
Props for the writing on this kill count. You guys always hammer home the fact we should watch the movie first. James does that in the beginning (as always) but right before CW and Maddie make it to the island, James once again mentions how you should go in blind. I was watching this not in the mood to watch a movie, and that second mention basically saying "FROM THIS POINT ON ITS GUNNA UNWIND" and I legit paused the kill count. I watched the movie instead and fucking loved it then came back to finish this episode lol
Chuckys been looking suspicious for a while👀
I adored that Gorillaz reference at 4:45 lol
Another Friday another kill count
The best kind of antagonists are ones you can side with in some morbid way. That in the darkest parts of you, you can root for. I think most film makers / writers don’t know this. CW isn’t that.
11:28 oof, that's a sick roast there... although superman and lois is an exception from all the CW shows... that one FREAKING RULES.
This channel has the best sponsor segments on the Internet
Kill RE: count for Halloween series + Halloween Ends
Halloween Ends doesn't deserve a kill count >:(
Halloween Ends will come out in October. I doubt the series will get recounted, though. James is on record as liking Halloween the least of the big franchises, and there's just way too many of them to keep up audience interest in today's environment.
That Gorillaz blippit caught me so off guard 😭😭
Oh y’all I highly suggest checking out Late Night with The Devil
I was really immersed and it’s a slow burn, but great- especially if you like Analog Horror
This movie is a gem! Thank you for highlighting lesser known horror you love even when it doesn’t guarantee as many views!
Man that beach monologue is so damn GOOD.
Watches this one before the kill count and i loved it. Didnt expect any of the twists
Damn, nice jump scare Zoran.
Also, Late Night with the Devil!!!
*HELL YES!!!*
Oh you’re too kind
The "To the numbers" bits keep getting better and better 😂
Do a kill count "Thanksgiving" (2023) please james and I love your videos and thank you!
Send your request by mail. Request in comment are not considered.
@@alexisbidule5555where link?
Just watched it today so I could finally watch this kill count and I was surprised at how much I liked this film. It took me by surprise several times, had complex characters, great cinematography. A really exciting film with really cool energy and intrigue. I’d have never watched it if not for the kill count, it’s why I love this show.
James out here looking like Grayson Waller with that shirt.
It's a tiny thing but I would love James to continue the get to the numbers skits into the numbers, like how zoran was portrayed as cw he should've done the numbers dressed as James as if it was cw living the influencers life
Late Night with the Devil kill count? Hell yeah!
Watched LNWTD at work, LOVED it, can’t wait for next week
Welcome to the kill count!
Home of the Kill Count, can I take you order?
