the movie was ok, the scene with the rat trying to kill her mother which she could only view via the computer screen was actually genius, i was more scared and shook because we had no idea what the mother was really seeing.
My biggest issue was that the mom said there were "rats" and the game showed only one big rat which makes it goofy (although the animations were creepy af, the shaking and panicked expression of the player) and when she went to examine the apartment you see that it must have been a big rat if it chewed a hole in the middle of the door. I guess it's best they left it to the imagination.
Welcome to good horror writing. One of the very few actual good bits of the movie.
Nah, that was obviously the case of "we can't afford CGI creatures, so we're just gonna make the viewer can't see it and expect people to think it's scarier that way"
@@rekkou1880 Nope. What you're describing is exactly how horror works. "The imagination is more powerful than the visual." You leave it up to the imagination, because the viewer will think of what specifically terrifies them, turning the monster into a manifestation of the audience's fear. That's why all the best horror movies leave a lot hidden until the very end.
Ikr? Its the fear of not seeing what you're scared of. Terrifying 😱😁
The thing I don't like in these movies is that the protagonist always has to consent to being involved, but everyone around them just gets screwed for shit completely out of their control.
That’s definitely bad, and it’s especially traumatic to have to make a choice that kills someone even if you didn’t actually want to
That’s some guilt you have to live with and the other person is right to blame them
I know! I don't understand that logic. It's as if the one person consenting to the game automatically consented for everyone else in their lives. Doesn't make sense.
I mean think about war, how many wars do a select few consent to only for a mass of innocent people to die?
I mean yeah object possessing demons aren’t fair 🤷♀️
My theory as to why Hal was allowed to stop playing and distribute the game instead is because he wasn't suffering. He seems happier after torturing his family, so the game wasn't getting any power from him.
Hal, hmm? Like from the SciFi classic 2001?!?
@@erinconroy9813 Ooo, good catch!
Uuuuuuh…. What? No the game manipulates him into distributing it under threat of further harm to his family. Thought that was pretty obvious with the whole “continue game or make copies”. Why would exactly would he continue? The game pffered him the choice to end his own game and pass it to others or continue on his own. He made literally the ONLY logical decision…. Furthermore you see about 20 seconds of him “after torturing his family” (which he definitely didn’t do btw) so what makes you think he’s suddenly happier? Just bc he doesn’t have a beer in his hand the next time you see him? And even FURTHERMORE, he’s assuredly the one who created the game so it wouldn’t have any “power” if not for him. This is a terrible interpretation. It makes literally no sense.
@@richardtherichard26 But he's the only one who gets that option, and he certainly seems happier when we see him later in the movie after his wife and kid are terrified. I think it's round three that he gets the option too, which gives Hal enough time to know what's coming for one round and not suffer the way the game wanted. He went from never being in control in his life to finally having choices, even if they're bad ones. I don't think he necessarily enjoyed torturing his family, but I think having the game and being in control of his family's fate made him feel powerful, which is the exact opposite of what the game wants you to feel.
@@Ganymedia9 well so I just watched the rest of the vid and I think I’ve gained a bit of a better understanding, and your explanation does hold some weight however I think it’s important to note what Foundflix says @ 23:25. “It seems the game is more interested in spreading than anything else” the game doesn’t care about Hal in the long run. He wasn’t the dev but he was certainly a means to an end. The game used him to get distributed bc that’s it’s ultimate goal. Spreading its influence to the masses is more important than simply torturing this 1 ultimately inconsequential man.
Hi, just for clarification the mom wasnt watching a movie when we first see her. The ragged stuff animal she holds is like the ones from build a bear where you can record audio and then insert it into the bear/stuffed animal. The audio we hear is from the mom replaying that audio over and over.
Thank you, that was driving me crazy. You even hear the mom's voice explaining how to use the bear.
Lol build a bear. We had teddy fuckin ruxpin back in the day. Showing my age I guess.
@@-redacted_by_youtube Lol Teddy Ruxpin. We had cups and fucking strings back in my day. Showing my age I guess
@@Onimass lol gotta love getting old huh?
Wanted to comment this 👍🏽
The irony of drowning the "final boss" Hal in parallel to Ricky's death - The thing that made her suffer the most, was a genius way to end it off.
Yoooo missed you buddy
Didn’t know I would see you here lol
Bro is in the house!!!
the sequence involving the rat and her mother was actually so terrifying bc we didn't know what was happening. The movie was decent but that scene really stuck out to me
I tried watching this with my dad, and when I looked back at him about halfway through the movie to jokingly tell him "I'm about to fall asleep", he'd already fallen asleep on the couch. This basically sums up the entire movie.
Lol
Your dad makes it half way? My dad calls himself a “horror fan” but we have an on going joke that once every couple months he spends $10 on a matinee ticket and $5 on a popcorn just to go eat his popcorn before the credits end then take a nap. It must be a “dad” thing 😂😂😂
God same, I watched this with a friend over discord and we had to stop after the game with Isaac and Kayla because we thought it was incredibly boring
I enjoyed watching this movie because it was so fun and creative. But the ending felt extremely rushed and killed the vibe. I think it would've been better as a limited series.
Hey you ain’t trash I love you :)
Iiiiiiiiii
I totally agree, I thought the same thing when I got to the ending with the convo with the developer. To me it would’ve been so much better to either leave receive the a phone call with him introducing himself as a cliffhanger tor a potential sequel or like you said, make it a limited series. I thought the premise and delivery of the story and levels were super creative and well-done. Had they done a limited series, they could’ve introduced the company as more than just 1 dev, making it into a sort of mystery revenge story uwith her taking down the developers/company in charge of the game. Whereby our “hero” tracks down those involved who used the game to benefit themselves at the expense of others and taking them out, destroying their copies of the game, which wou also improve her life. It’s a shame that they chose to go the rushed ending route instead, as this IP had some serious potential.
The ending was so hilariously awful that I immediately forgot about the movie, as if I was hit by a memory eraser.
my thoughts exactly
I was one of the few that enjoyed this film. Reminded me of the old goosebumps choose your own adventure books.
I loved it. Why everyone hating on it lol
Im only 7 minutes in and im loving this movie
@@superrazor7617 did u finish it?
@@nbatalkz6635 normally when watching a movie that is being cover on youtube i watch a special amount of minutes (7 minutes for this movie) and then come back here everytime to see if the person explaining it has something interesting to say about the movie
Normal terms: i watch 7 minutes of the movie, pause ,watch the video until the youtuber gets to the part i am at, pause the video, rinse and repeat until i finish both the movie and the video close at the same time
Isaac really risked his life for a girl who clearly and openly didn't like him like that.
lol real simping on his end. Died for nothing
@@BeardGawd88 thus is the fate of the simp; to die thirsty and unwanted.
It's not really like he had a life to live for
Nah, he risked it for a friend. He's a real one
Simps gotta simp.
I watch FoundFlix when I fall asleep 20 minutes into a movie, so I can see what happened without having to fall asleep to it again.
I walked off on it after a while , I’m happy he made this 😭
I literally just finished this movie. 2 hours later, this video is released. Feels like I'm in a thriller movie myself.
Same
@@butterfly12rey 1¹11
hes in ur walls
sub or die?
Same just watched it at 8:00 pm last night
I think one of the big reason this movie flopped is because the levels were pretty uninspired and not really scary. The rat one was the only one that stuck out as being creative and interesting. The rest were pretty lame.
not to mention the so called character development!
she killed her best friend who was so willing to help her and at the end she wants to use her new powers on those who deserve it?!
it just didn't work right
I don’t really see it as her killing her best friend. Also, her friend told her to do when she tried to stop. He knew he had to suffer for cheating, just like how he said in his game cheating cost you.
@@nicktechnubyte1184 Lance's death changed her perspective on the game which is why she rather torturing those who "deserve" it.
@@thelilartzy yeah whatever she killed her friend and didn't even seem to care, shit way to kill off someone tbh
The ratings and reviews for this have been really harsh. I watched it expecting it to be really bad but I thought it was quite original and pretty entertaining. I do agree with others here that the ending felt rushed. The movie is really short as it is so another 15-20 minutes in the second half would have improved it, in my opinion.
I need to watch it again to find holes in my theory, but I still really believe that it all might be a trick. That the game plays audio to make people hallucinate.
Family through the door, In the diner it could be effecting everyone, mom through the phone, the company owns that building to set up the computer, the place they track down. All places audio could be use to scramble brains.
@feli xio interesting theory!
The hallucination angle might work if it wasn't for the 'reality warping' aspects of the story, as well as the part where the "final boss" was playing in one room, and his family was arguing in another and the game being able to work its influence over any amount of distance.
The audio thing could have worked if it was about subliminal messaging, but we never see the "player" actually involved in any of the "games", except as a passive observer (with the only interaction being the choice being made), so it's not like the story is about the player committing any of the "choices". :/
@@sigmacademy I guess maybe it could still work if it turned out the dad was the one who butchered his family and just hallucinated that the wife did it. Hallucination is such an easy way to cop out though, you could make that argument for many films. Like the Autopsy of Jane Doe theory where they say it's mold in her body that makes people hallucinate.
Unrelated to the movie I just want to say I really appreciate this channel and the effort that you put in! Whenever I watch modern blockbuster action movies they seem like they're trying to deal with a complex topic in an easy way making something like violence or fighting happy at the end like many superhero movies. But horror movies don't pull their punches like that, they deal with complex topics like depression or death in really profound and interesting ways without dancing around them. In a way I feel like that holds true with UA-cam videos too, a lot of content creators I see have tried to just make their channels into a source of revenue but this channel I feel like is real and honest in what it's doing, giving us quality content without selling out or making the video about something superficial. There's more I could say but the comment is long enough and honestly I just want to say thank you for all the effort that you put in and it doesn't go unnoticed!
I’m so happy you started uploading on Spotify, it’s something I’ve wanted for so long! I always listen to your videos in the background as i study or do chores. So it’s so much easier that you’re on Spotify now. Already followed and going to rate it soon ♥️
Omg thx for letting us know !!! No need to buy premium lol
Oh wow! Thanks for the heads up!
@らてちゃん So what....because like many we fast forward the beginning.
“Your family is safe… for now”
D-Duolingo? Is that you?
I'm shocked you haven't done Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. No one has done a good analysis of it yet. I would love to get your take on it.
He did
No he hasn't. He did an explain on the first one.
Actually watched this movie a few days ago with my pop while really high. All I could really remember was the beginning with that one family and the ending. Luckily you came just in time with the summary.
This movie was a huge miss for me. It had so much potential but dialogue, stagnant character development, and some of background story for the characters felt very off and didn't add any extra value or momentum to the story. I kept trying to be into the movie. It was rough
i could not stand the moment she had to choose between her brother and Isaac, she knows damn well her brother ain’t real and it’s all manipulation and she’s all conflicted anyway, i was yelling at the screen like an idiot
@らてちゃん Bruh what? It’s set in like 2020
I made it about 20-30 minutes in and realized the movie sucked and I could just watch the summary here. Thank you, FF.
Me too haha
Same, it was too dull to finish
I just don't get excited about anything these days!
projects are either rushed into the market, made with low budgets and bland storylines, or infected with completely worthless sjw feminazi cancel culture woke political garbage!
we get a few gems here and there, but that's about it
The most odd thing about this film was that it was filmed entirely in the UK with British actors. The mum was in Casualty which had me thinking. It even looks like London in the outside scenes.
Seems a strange choice to make it American when the story could have just as easily been set in the UK 🤷🏾♀️
Sometimes I wonder if UK actors are just like, "Hey can we do this in American? I want to practice my accent and fluff my portfolio" XD
@@Trenchcoat3 that's exactly what I was thinking 🤔
American film: hey let’s be British
Uk film: hey let’s be American
That's funny because I've never seen this movie but instantly thought, "These people look British."
same case with the movie Triangle. all Australian cast and was filmed in Australia. but it was set in Florida.
I hope it wasn’t just me who thought this, but I thought this would be like the Black Mirror: Bandersnatch movie, where you get to pick what happens and your choices can completely change the ending. I was pretty disappointed that it wasn’t like that. That would have been 🔥
So did I and I was confused when it wasn’t like that.
The curse's choices are also pretty much like a Wishmaster or Leprechaun wish - someone gets hurt no matter what the choice is.
@ラテちゃん why are you replying to every comment 💀
I think there should be a second movie about how kizmet is a suceefull company by causing the people in her neighborhood to suffer, so the bad things that caused them to be in that position is what helped kismet be successful, and kizmet being run by people who found the game before the guy in the begining of the movie and they beat it and figured out the code themselves (explaining why they’re the company looking for coders; referring to her coding application she sent to them)
Then a Third movie being about how they’re in a virtual reality and that being why a code controls reality, the people on the outside use the code to control the inside (like a matrix thing) her finding out they’re in a victual reality and her figuring out the code showing the people in the real world she deserves to be taken out of the vr and work for them.
Then if they really wanted to go Netflix bandersnatch /maize runner with it they could have something else referring to the “real world” being in a tv show, like maybe a “the view chooses what happens” kind of approach like in Black mirror bandersnatch (or whatever it’s called)
Netflix I’ll be expecting a check
That guy kind of looks like Harrison Ford a little bit I thought it was him at a quick glance!
I really liked this movie and was kind of bummed so many others seemed to not enjoy it. The concept is really unique a bit on the nose at times but still a fun watch.
Yeah same!! I enjoyed it a lot and expected it to have a good reception. Come to find out most people seem to hate it or think it’s terrible :/
I genuinely don’t get why, it was really good and a cool unique idea
Good acting as well
I really want to point out something that stuck out for me. "Kısmet" means "fate" or "fate/situation god sees to fit for a person" in Turkish. Kinda feels like it's what the game/curse has been doing. I dont know if it's just a coincidence or intended, probably wasnt intended but I wanted to say
I was not feeling the movie at first, bit it redeemed itself. I enjoyed it! I would like to see more movies like this
Lucky for you, there's a bunch of shitty movies with this shitty plot out there
you do these reviews better than any i've seen on youtube, glad I subscribed.
Been a subscriber of this channel since the Krampus review. Keep it up! Always enjoy the explanations for things i don’t notice and your review.
I think foundflix and comics explained are the only 2 UA-camrs I always watch every video
Definitely reminded me of black mirror bandersnatch!
Oregon Trail was still harder. Poor Samantha dying from dysentery! The struggle was real! 😭
I remember these old choose your adventure games....
Thank you for the pod casts as I enjoy watching your videos as well as listening. Now I can work and listen!!!
I love that this video is like 30% of the movie's length lol. It was a great watch, straight to the point and grabbed my attention
Dang, I only ever hear of these cool movies from you! Most of everything you cover makes me think “I wish I could have seen this before watching his ending explained!!”
Ahhhh nice Cinema Summary also just covered this last week! Love when that happens and seeing the difference in what y’all pick up 👏🏻
Let's talk about the fact that this is Bruno from The Boy In the Striped Pajamas....he's all grown up now 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You say the mother is watching a video when introduced - it's actually a recording within the toy rabbit.
Seeing this really made me cry. Because my mom was a drug addict. And she used to make me search the house for rats when she was high and delusional. And now she's dead
Ooooo do Stay Alive ending explained next :D since this is pretty relevant
Please do Stay Alive!!! 2006 movie hidden gem you'll be surprised which studio put this slasher out
I feel like the date being 1984 might be a ode to George Orwell’s disopian book 1984 were the ppl lack freedom/control of their life kinda like the game has control over them
There’s actually a way to eat glass without harming oneself but it requires practice and the glass that the waitress was eating is too thick to eat imo
Glad you got the comments up and running again. Also, please do Inner Senses starring Leslie Cheung. I remember watching it as a child and it scaring the crap out of me. There are also rumors the movie predicted Cheung's untimely passing.
you’re amazing man. thanks for getting me through the pandemic
Ah. We can comment. Great video as always. Personally, didn’t think the movie was… amazing, but I also didn’t think it was absolutely terrible. I probably wouldn’t watch it again or recommend it… yeah it’s pretty bad.
I was very disappointed. I thought it would be like Black mirror: bandersnatch. (You pick how the movie goes)
I’ve been waiting for you to do this film, I couldn’t get through it
18:52 OMG it's General Sam!! I can't believe he found enough time between Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown to take an acting gig!
Someone told me to watch “the game of death” instead of this one and I was pleasantly surprised if anyone else is interested ☺️✌🏽it’s more of a horror comedy
I like this format so much better than the Vlog format. IMHO
Thanks for putting your videos on Spotify, I love listening to them while I do other things, so not having the actual video is no problem
the glass eating got me. now i wanna watch it.
EDIT: whoops. suddenly its boring after the diner scene. nvm then.
Have you seen the rat scene yet?
This movie is like Zork crossed with the Give Yourself Goosebumps series
I personally really liked this one. Would love to see a sequel.
There's just something charming about this movie, I can't quite figure out what, but I enjoyed it way more than I expected.
I had alot of fun with the film. The premise is really awesome and even if execution wasnt the best it was still very watchable. Def one of the better things ive seen recently.
Me too I think its a decent movie
I just watched this movie and before I started I said.. I really hope they do a ending explained on this! ♥️ Awesome.
Suddenly dawned on me choose or die has the same kind of plot to the fear street films
Loved the premise, didn’t like the execution. I had a feeling you’d do a review though 😊
Choose or die
That’s what my mom says about dinner
I'm glad you're on Spotify!
I really liked the lead but didn’t love this movie. I did end up watching Incident in a Ghostland tonight after seeing you covered it last week and really enjoyed the movie! I was definitely way more invested than in Choose or Die.
We on spotify now, Hellz Yeah!! Good job guys, get to listen to you guys on my way to work now!
I was presently surprised by this movie. Maybe it's that my expectations are very low for movies these days, but I enjoyed it overall.
Finding an evil retro game in a random yard sale is the most creepy pasta shit
i had no idea how much i liked FF comment section until it was disabled
Perfect, another bad movie with a good premise I don't have to sit through!
Hooray!! A new video from one of my favorite UA-cam creator
Am I the only one who didn’t really like this movie? Idk just don’t find it compelling. Especially when they revived the guy (side character), and then just automatically killed him off again in the next scene, just find silly and his death had no impact. I literally don’t even remember any of the characters name lol
Why does netflix exclusive's main characters always so easy to hate. It's like they set up their horror movies where u want to protagonist to die .
"It may seem random now but will make sense later on" I named one of my homebrew tabletop gods Kismet I know what it means and where this is going IMMEDIETLY 😂
Why are there like no comments?
Ya I commented first but wasn’t even sure if it had gone through since it seemed like they were turned off
6:46 The cake is a lie, the cake is Always a Lie! 😂😂😂💯
Anyone else think the pregnant chick was going to suffer at some point?
I hated how on the nose it was; the White guy complaining to the black chick "aRenT i AllOweD tO bE tHe GoOd GuY aNyMorE?!"
A foundflix podcast!!! My prayers have been answered 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This movie was Actually a 3.5 out of 5 . A creative B- or C+ Movie and Extremely underrated and Highly recommended!
Thanks for Reviewing!
“Fucks his records more than his mother” I can’t omg
22:29 Damn, almost thought Hal was Sharlto Copley there for a second...
You're on spotify now? I'm subscribed NOW - Love you FoundFlix thanks for all of the great content!
mom not watching a home video, the rabbit has a recording inside of it that yiu can replay over and over
The "levels" just felt too... I don't know. 'Here it is! Now there's pain! Are you afraid now there's pain?!' The entire thing just felt rushed.
And then that one line from Hal about "don't MEN LIKE ME GET TO BE THE THE HERO ANYMORE" felt so forced for the benefit of being a modern movie. Horror movies in general have had that problem recently, of weirdly forced wokeness that makes no sense plot wise. Studios really don't execute those kinds of values well, probably because they are all run by Hals still.
Agreed, it’s like no, men are no longer the heroes, they’re the villains instead. Also, this bitch used her body weight to knock a door down??? Tfoh!! lol. If a female fire fighter couldn’t knock down a door during an obstacle course what makes me think this little skinny girl can? These films makes zero sense logically, they’re mostly about promoting women over men.
laughed out loud when I saw Ozone Mastering Suite used as an audio decoder. love it. movies.
Love your videos man. They have gotten me way more Into horror movies that are actually deep and philosophical.
I actually know of the phone games. Aging myself but we used to use a recording of the payphone coin tone to play for free and make calls on payphones for free.
This reminds me of the book "Erebos"
Nice
“…and collects old crap!”
LoL
I love how the command prompt was on Kismet's logo.
The VHS showing the curse being tested gave me a bit of an SCP vibe. Honestly the scariest part in my opinion was when the waitress was forced to eat pieces of glass, she was aware of what was happening, but she couldn't stop.
In the movie "Hackers" they illustrate recording a dial tone sequence on a tape, THEN playing the sequence to the payphone, by-passing the need for quarters.
Apparently this used to be partially true as certain grids were run by computers that used the dial sequences to know who to call and how much to charge.
See that’s really confusing to me
Instead of just having each button complete a circuit to count as a press they had the buttons play noises and then analyzed the noise to figure out where they were calling? What?
Love that you referenced Dexter at the end 🔥
Excited that FoundFlix is on audio!!
Watching the scene where they see the origin was so crazy, Beck was so insane. Then watching Isaac did was fucked up the way he was being forwarded and rewarded
Oh my gosh!!! A podcast!! I’m dying!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️❤️❤️
The movie was ok at best for me.
For being only about 90 minutes long there were a few too many storylines that just felt like they could have just been left out (for example Lance) to flesh out the story behind the actual curse. The premise was very promising, but it was barely scary at all.
The whole Ricky plot line left me feeling disappointed because it had literally no emotional impact, just because I never really got too invested in it.
I did love that they left all the gore to our imagination using sound instead of pictures, I believe that the scenes I pictured happening in my head were a lot more realistic than what they could have achieved with cgi.
In the end it just left me wanting some lore and logic behind the curse instead of just throwing plot conveniences at us saying that things are just as they are because they are...
Gary Numan is brilliant. So is Liam Howlett. He scored ‘Choose or die’
Asa's character dying doesn't matter, but it just doesn't make sense,
-The cassette tape wasn't even important to the plot, also he could of just eat the tape,
I agree. It shouldn't have gotten such a bad rating 😅 I thoroughly enjoyed it
