the first movie being named theres someone inside your house and having nothing to do with a house and then the second one being named bats and ONLY being about bats is so fucking funny to me
same with dream home only ever talking about the damn house and the curse of the zodiac having little to nothing to do with the original zodiac killer 😭
i actually remember seeing Bats in the theater and for the first like 10 mins the film was upside down and everyone just assumed it was a stylistic choice because of the subject matter lol
The best characters arcs are built on internal conflicts we all struggle with. Greed vs selflessness. Courage vs fear. Being afraid of bats vs working exclusively with bats. Timeless stories we can all learn from
It's one of those things that separates good movies, since although it is realistic dialogue, movies are (fun fact) not actually realistic. So the key to good movies is making weird dialogue sound normal (like the fact that theres no stuttering, or people talking in full sentences without food in their mouths at breakfast)
The 1st movie has a ton of B movies actors in it that black dude was in some really good movies and the Spanish dude n the car was n that movie where the singer died n a plane crash NGL love the ole days B movies😂
The writing/dialogue in Dream House is SO funny. It's like they gave the actors one line, and told them to deliver the same line 5 different ways, but then they used every single line read and stitched it together as if it's somehow a cohesiveness and normal way to speak. "It's no ordinary house. It's just like any other house. This house is special. This house is pretty normal though. The thing about this house is, it's kinda normal. Anyways, that's why you shouldn't move here."
21:19 I’m absolutely in love with this exchange, how the random woman is both telling the main character absolutely everything about what’s happened/will happen in excruciating detail while also providing absolutely no information. It’s like the horror movie version of trying to fake your way through a book report for a book you didn’t read.
To be fair, a house can be built in the Victorian style after the actual period, but also that house was not nearly that old. I think they wrote the script and then realized that getting an actual Victorian house filming location is extremely expensive.
I saw Bats a million years ago when it came out. It has possibly the dumbest line in 1990’s cinema. At the end of their introductory scene, Shiela asks Jimmy if he wants to get something to eat. Jimmy responds “Girl, I’m a brother. You know we hungry.”
Holy crap, the director of "dream home" was my uber driver once. He had posters for it and copies of it for sale and insisted that I watch the trailer that they had playing on repeat on an ipad strapped to the headrest. This was also in 2021 over a decade after it was release. Decent driver though. Small world lol.
My best friend and I still quote, "Baby I want that house." In the most monotone voice whenever we're talking about things we really want to splurge on lmfaoooo
The most unrealistic part of Dream Home is that Black couple would NEVER be that adamant about keeping a house that a random white guy could just walk into and then was super creepy about.
My sister and I was watching this video together and we joked that nothing happened in the house and that the residents were just really racist and wanted them to leave but couldn't agree on what they should say happened so they just decided to be really vague
just for the fact that they so faithfully delivered on the title of the film, I'd give bats a full seal of approval. I mean what more can you expect from it? It didn't promise to be a good movie, but it did promise bats.
“I made a mistake when I was playing” was the funniest line delivery I’ve ever seen. I need a cinematic universe centered around that piano player murder victim.
Not even joking, that last director taught me my film class in high school. He always talked about producing movies and we looked him up on IMDB and were shocked to say the least
@@gracej5432 Yes! Was crazy to see him mentioned. I think as he aged then he stopped filming and only worked at our school for around 2 years, then I believe he moved back to Germany. He was a strange man - made us watch a lot of weird existentialism type movies. I still have a film I made for his class saved in my old laptop somewhere lol. But he was actually one of my favourite teachers. Weird but interesting man; super fun & unpredictable class.
@@heavenwaits Lol, can’t think of any one story in particular, but I can say he was a strange and unpredictable man. He wasn’t with the school very long, it was just sort of a side gig to make some money before moving I think. I do have one quote I remember from him when someone’s phone rang in class one day - “Yes I understand it’s important!! I do not care. My phone rings all day… ring ring ring ring! I don’t care! I don’t answer it. I am a busy man.” Also, side note, he always wore very, very tight jeans.
We just paid almost $200 to have a technician remove a dead mummified bat from our furnace today, so I find the horror of the bats movie pretty believable right now.
As a person in recovery I appreciate what you said about addiction. I remember a movie that tried to show how terrible all a family was and there was a rapist, a corrupt politician, a murderer, and... an addict? It's so weird they get put on the same level as genuinely terrible people
no. the worst horror movie is called the litch. when i was 13 i went to a horror convention in florida and a man gave me a deal. $20 for a t-shirt, a sighed photograph (him laying on a bed in a heart spotted robe), his joke book and a dvd… his own movie… worst thing i’ve seen in my life… the first time i started it i turned it off within a few minutes and it took me years to try again. with a friend by my side, we pulled teeth and ripped out hair trying to finish this movie. we did it. i will never forget…
what the actual hell is an adult man doing giving you a signed photo of himself on a bed I don't really care about how terrible the movie is, I would vomit after that first thing
You know how sometimes you can immediately tell from the delivery that two actors in the same scene weren't actually on set together? Dream Home is like that but with every actor seeming like they're in their own pocket dimension, even when they're in the same shot and physically interacting.
I just finished reading There's Someone Inside Your House and this isn't just a case of "The book is better". This is a case of "The movie changed every single thing about this book except the title and made it SO MUCH WORSE." Imagine if Stanley Kubrick made The Shining about a little boy with the magic power to make car windshields glare. That's how different the two are. I highly highly recommend the book to anyone who is curious about the initial concept being done WELL
I was looking for a comment that mentioned this, and I totally agree! I loved the book and I didn't expect the movie to be EXACTLY the same, but I also didn't expect them to change it entirely. It really sucks, didn't do the book justice at all.
Somewhat ironically, "The Shining" didn't get a lot of appreciation at the time because it was a pretty significant departure from the source material, at least in terms of the themes. Most of the elements about being a writer and the alcoholism were toned down or removed. Of course today it's seen as one of the best horror films ever made (and rightly so), but that wasn't the perception at the time.
Only listening Drew's the synopsis, the only thing that clued me into this being an adaptation of the book was the name "Makani" and the hazing, b/c for everything else WTF??
Maybe Dream House is like that episode of community where chang gets famous and they try to make money off him by making a movie with a minimum of 81 minutes long using footage they already had of him
Also who tf doesn't have at least one dumb secret ? Is a serial killer going to come after me because I sneak out for midnight snacks from time to time ? 😂
... Are we seriously trying to apply logic and morality to the actions of a serial killer...? Like... Dude. I'm TOTALLY sure that Jack the Ripper was really a good person, after all he was killing prostitutes, and I'm sure it wasn't because they were easy prey or because he just liked killing them specifically because of his fucked-up mental state or anything like that... Obviously it was for logical moral reasons. Come on. You gotta see how stupid this is. Real life serial killers kill who they kill because of past trauma they're imprinting onto a specific demographic, because of ease, because of fucked up sexual desires, because they like how people with red hair look, because of any number of illogical personal reasons. They have a type, sure... But are you really asking for that type to make logical moral sense?
I gotta say, Faith and Darren are amazing characters. There's absolutely nothing interesting about them, they're astoundingly oblivious throughout the whole movie, and have frankly inhuman patience for their insanely creepy white neighbours. Just the nicest, plainest couple you've ever seen. That credit card transaction was a cherry on top.
reminder that Bill Clinton, Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden were all anti-gay marriage until around 2012-2014. they not only didn't accept it, they said it was between a man and woman and tried to stop it. meanwhile, DT has been attending gay marriages for decades and said he wouldn't stop gay marriages for 20 years. another politician who was ahead of the democrats? Cheney. obviously i don't like anything else about him, but his daughter is a lesbian and he was pro-gay marriage before all these democrat politicians. point being - it's not really a left vs right thing, and up until about 10 years ago, the democrats wanted nothing to do with it. i feel like a lot of younger people might not realize this.
Dream Home (2006) oddly has the same vibes as those crappy ps1 games with oddly endearing 3D FMVs. With the music and that one scene that plays right after Faye finds the necklace under the bed, it reminds me of when you grab an important item in a game and a cutscene plays.
I love drew criticizing the murderer for killing one guy for a hate crime and then committing another hate crime. Ya know, I’m starting to think this murderer fellow isn’t much of an upstanding gentlemen
i really want a horror movie where the protagonists want to buy a house and instead of telling them how dangerous and haunted the house is, the neighbours keep praising the house and talking about how perfect it is. this goes on until it starts to get unsettling because even people who have never seen the house or set foot inside it keeps talking about how it's the ultimate dream house and how it will drastically improve the lives of the people who are buying it.
Kinda sounds like a Doctor Who episode. And I assume that some sort of curse or spirit is making people say those things to convince new people to move in so they can be sacrificed or something?
I have my own head cannon for Bats where Jimmy was seeing a therapist who introduced him to Exposure therapy but his insurance couldn’t cover anymore visits so Jimmy took exposure therapy too far and got a job study Bats
Drew, this has nothing to do with the movie, but as a former/recovering addict, thank you for saying "Addiction doesn't inherently make you a bad person". It's a struggle every day, but I'm making it through. Distracting myself by watching (and rewatching) your, Danny and Kurtis's videos definitely helps get me through the rough days.
That’s awesome, keep up the great work!! I’ve quit smoking for about 2 months now, but the cravings can still be pretty brutal at times. Like you, it really helps to be able to distract yourself with youtube and such. Wishing you the best!
I'm with you on this, I'm also trying to recover (still somewhat in active addiction but going to rehab soon) and we always get villainised, one thing I can't forgive Fear Street for. Thanks Drew, I too appreciate it!! Keep it up, we got this!! 🫂
They just covered "Bats" on "How Did This Get Made" and the episode ended with two members of the audience singing a parody of LMFAO's "Shots" where every instance of the word "shots" was replaced with "bats." It is the greatest thing I've ever heard
To be fair to Jimmy, one of my roommates LOVES entomology and could tell you everything there is to know about solitary bees, but she absolutely hates touching insects and is creeped out by them.
damn i feel that, poor roommate. although i both love entomology and handling even the creepiest arthropods. i wanna get a giant tailless whip scorpion to crawl on my head :3
I keep tropical fish but I it revolts me when I'm cleaning the tank and they brush against my skin. I also have nightmares about them swimming outside of their tank a lot
Its pretty normal for us, you fear something so much you start to learn about it and finding this knowledge makes you fascinated with the thing, but the fear is irrational so it doesn't really go away even when you're downright obsessed with the subject Im so terrified of spiders, i could cry just seeing one, but one of my favorite fantasy lores is spider related gods and cults, and if not for this fear id totally get a huge spider tattoo
I’ve seen “ai generated” be used to describe things that are bad but Dream Homes script managed to do the “ talk in circles whine saying absolutely nothing” that ai does perfectly it’s kinda impressive
YES OMG. i fucking hate trying to argue with an ai when i'm bored because when i make any argument, it will disregard the actual argument and start focusing on something completely unrelated, even at the cost of directly contradicting the valid argument. like what..? 😭😭

My theory is that the Jimmy character in BATS actually has a bat fetish that he’s embarrassed about, so he tries to hide it by constantly talking about how much he hates bats, even as he constantly seeks them out. “Ugh, bats are totally the worst! We’re definitely not getting horny around all these bats, r-right guys?”
The best part of being a horror fan is that a lot of the movies are bad, but they're still fun to watch. And when you find a good one it makes it so much more satisfying.
I love watching a bad horror movie WAY more than a good horror movie tbh. Well made horror movies are great but they’re so much funnier and better when they’re done terribly.
I feel like a lot of movies and shows miss one of the coolest/spookiest parts of bats, and that is that they are almost completely silent when they hunt. At least the ones by where I live. Like it is cool when I go out to my parents house late in the evening and I don't really ever see the bats, just see motion as they zip bye and maybe a quiet solitary flap of a wing.
My local theater just did a showing of The Birds for its 60th anniversary, and I was kind of shocked how scary and intense it actually was for a movie that came out in 1963. The Bats is like they tried to replicate that, except nobody on the crew had ever watched a Hitchcock movie, and also none of them had ever seen a bat before.
I was wondering if anyone else made that connection! You’re totally right, that part where the car explodes (in the birds) is pretty intense. My favorite Hitchcock film for sure
@@Duckduckduckduckgoose I was most surprised by the shot of the man with his eyes pecked out, it was such wonderful build up to that reveal that I really didn't expect in a movie that old! It was a very pleasant surprise that it lived up to all the hype and parodies I've seen of it, I definitely get why it's your favorite.
You should also watch Rear Window, it’s not horror per se but it’s definitely suspenseful yet simple. The concept is *chefs kiss* Hitchcock wasn’t a great guy but damn, he was a genius at directing
Im dying at the thought of a realtor showing off a house and when the potential buyer asks about the history of the house, the realtor says "that doesn't concern you" 😂 why would you still wanna buy the house after that?!
Bats is no joke one of my favorite movies, it’s so good and stupid, the bat puppets look like gargoyles and I love them, the random shots where it’s warped for some reason, “Bats doctor, it’s Bats.” It makes me so happy. I legit screamed when I saw it in the thumbnail
I think people in the comments are not talking enough about the curse of the zodiac. I was laughing out loud during the entire segment, especially when the zodiac killer started to spell zodiac out of nowhere. This video was hilarious
I remember going to see Bats and about halfway through the film screwed up and started playing upside down and some how it made it better. It does have one of my all time favorite bad lines ever. When asked why he made the killer bats he says “We’re scientists it’s what we do.”
I think my mom internalized this quote with no memory of where it came from and I’m so glad I have a reference point because she kept quoting it without knowing where it was feom
I love hollywood's understanding of scientists, as if the job's not actually just spending half your day applying for research grants and then crying in the bathroom
The creepy neighbour is the only guy who did a good job in Dream Home. Delivers his lines well, has a very strong creepy vibe, doesn’t blink, this dude killed it at his role.
@@Louis-ty6li i didnt check their channel :] and yeah the pfp was why i was asking, i dont go up to random people asking if theyre a homestuck thatd be unhinged (funny to think abt tho...)
To me, the wildest thing about the second two secrets in “There’s Someone Inside Your House” is that it would’ve been _so_ incredibly easy for them to add in factors that would’ve made them into _actually_ shitty people while keeping their other secrets fully in tact. However, instead they just went with, “Struggling with addiction… BOO” and “Daring to be attracted to the same sex, BOO”. Big yikes! LOL.
@@OliviaMcCaslin Hmm… I had no idea that it was based on a book! (Obviously. Haha.) Was it some sort of weird AF slasher book directly aimed at 7/8/9 year olds (Which seems pretty crazy to me but also feels totally plausible because I hear about some truly wild shit almost on the daily anymore. lol.) _or_ we’re you just reading books targeted at older kids and it was more of pre-teen/teenage horror type of deal? Clearly I’m not familiar with the source material OR the movie, but based on the secrets that got everyone killed, I’m really not getting a kids’ horror/Goosebumps vibe from it at all. 🤷🏼
Pretty clearly written by a religious person. They love to treat drug addicts like the boogie man. Dehumanize the hell out of anyone who struggles with substances. Unless it’s alcohol.
My fiancé and I were celebrating his 26th birthday. He was looking forward to having a good time with some drinking. We decides it would be a "fun" idea to take a sip of wine everytime we heard the word "bat" in the Bats movie section of the video(which last for 7 freaking minutes feels like a lot more). It wasn't fun. He was drunk and uncouncions half an hour later. It was 10pm.
i recently lost a significant amount of hearing. i just wanted to thank drew for how well captioned all of his videos are. i’ve always loved him but i feel like that is one thing that goes unnoticed that means a lot ♥️
captions are so important and since UA-cam removed viewer edited captions, watching anything on here has changed for me. I’m so grateful when I come across a creator who takes the time for subtitles.
@@capnmaee He hires people to do the captions for him, which is why there are occasionally typos. Either way, he's a great example of what UA-camrs SHOULD be doing. I have very great hearing but I do struggle with processing spoken language, so captions help me understand what people are saying. On one hand, I get why UA-cam removed community captions (people were abusing them to promote their own channels or promote terrorism/bigotry, also sometimes people would just write really cringey shit lol). On the other hand, not many UA-camrs actually take the time to put captions on their videos. I think a great solution would be for UA-camrs to allow people to submit a caption-style script (with timestamps to avoid confusion) to them, this way the UA-camr doesn't have to do all the work. Then the UA-camr can edit any specific typos (the amount of times Drew's captioners have misspelt "Bim Bim" is insane). It's the best of both worlds, except the UA-camrs get to cherry-pick which community captions actually do their job.
I have good hearing, but occasionally someone says something weirdly or a word I don’t know and I need to look it up, or they speak a little to fast so I can read it by pausing. Captions are always good, and if someone doesn’t need them, they can then them off. I don’t see any reason to not have captions. No idea why UA-cam removed community captions.
@@naia1362 sadly yeah, but I do wish we could at least have them. Like creators give permission to certain users to make subtitles on their channel or smth, kinda like a community helper so that way not everyone has access to change the subtitles, but we can’t ever have nice thing in this world.
I remember, around like 2-2.5 years ago, me and my brother watched a "horror" movie about a guy who hires a zombie to do his housework, and the zombie is secretly in love with the dude's wife. So its probably the greatest movie of all time.
OK OK OK. So never heard of this, but I've done the lord's work and dug up a bit, I think the movie they're referring to is "Fido" 2006. Might be wrong tho, so let me know. I think it fills all the boxes.
@@onestupidowl80But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:22-23
I watched “There’s Someone Inside Your House” with my dad and we were both completely lost and confused the whole time because we couldn’t figure out who was who. All the male characters look the exact same 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻
i was so excited for there’s someone inside your house bc that’s like my biggest fear (someone living in my attic/ being in my home without me knowing) and was so disappointed. this movie had such great potential
My roommate and I found curse of the zodiac in a church thrift store a couple months ago and watched it. It is truly hard to even explain the absolute fever dream of a film that it is. Almost every shot is Dutch angled, underexposed, double exposed and with a green filter on it. The best part is when we looked up his filmography after and found out its not even the only film about the Zodiac killer that this director made.
As a dude who saw "Bats" in theaters when I was a kid... it just feels good to be represented in modern media. I award you 2 batwings. Roughly comparable to 1 3D printed teenagers face.
With There's Someone Inside Your House it feels like they wrote the first two murders and then realised there was no reason for anyone to want the killer stopped so they had to suddenly have him kill innocent people
mmm well i don't think murder is a fair response to anyone who have assaulted someone. actually i don't think murder is a fair response to almost anything, so yeah i would want him stopped
to be fair it is originally a book and (although i didn't dislike the movie) they left out a bit from the book so it didn't flow together or make as much sense in movie form
I think they could’ve have the killer accidentally kill someone who later was proved innocent or wrongly acussed, and then the killer slowly starting to have hunger for killing rather than justice, so that way they would’ve had the viewer in a moral battle.
What’s frustrating is that there are many films/tv shows that have antagonists that have good motives for what they do, but it’s how they handle their issues that makes them an antagonist
20:19 reminds me of that scene in the office where angela is trying to explain her frustrations with dwight without giving any sort of details whatsoever
im only 3 minutes into the video but i wanted to say how much it meant to me (an addict, whos parents are also addicts) for someone i look up to a lot to say addiction doesn't automatically make you a bad person. a lot of people believe addicts are the scum of the earth and deserve the worst in life when a majority of us are just people who are struggling. thank you drew :D
It's an illness, not a moral failing. Sure, it can lead to doing horrible things, but so can many illnesses You deserve help in healing, not punishment for struggling Take care!
Whose* parents. And you shouldn't let what others think determine how you see yourself. Most people who judge others for things like that are often some of the worst people out there. They try to make themselves look less vile or hide their actual evilness by finding reasons to accuse others of being that. Yes, some addicts are bad people, but the two things don't automatically go hand in hand, as many sober people are bad people. The thing that makes someone a bad person is how they treat others. As long as you don't harm others, you're not a bad person.
I try not to judge any group of people, but when my mum started working as a nurse the amount of bruises and assaults and verbal a buse she had to endure because the addicts she was trying to help turned violent when they didn't get the drugs or whatever substances they wanted. I also suffer with a chronic illness that demands me to be in hospital very frequently, and it still baffles me how well addicts are treated compared to other patients (I don't believe addicts should be mistreated btw). I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital for longer than an hour (went outside for fresh air as hospitals can be traumatic for me due to past experiences) because I would lose my bed. The addicts, however were allowed to leave for the entire day with their venflon cannula still in their vein which they were clearly using to a buse drugs, and they never lost their bed. I've seen addicts hit, scratch and kick nurses and doctors so many times and nothing is done, they're never held accountable. That is a serious failing of the system. I've seen them drink something to make them throw up so they can appear more ill, I've seen them bully and harass other patients. They're also seemingly treated very well where I'm from, not only can they get away with assault and I've never seen anyone kicked out but I've seen addicts get to lay in bed while myself and another patient with cancer had to sit in the hallway due to there being so few beds. That person took priority over someone who has cancer. Cancer. A person whose issues are self inflicted get treated better than someone suffering with something like cancer. And once there was a woman crying for about 16hours a day scrraming about how much pain she's in and that she needs morphine and she kept everyone else awake. Now, if I disturbed people like that and clearly expressed drug seeking behaviour I would be kicked out immediately, but she gets to stay and disturb all the very ill patients who need to rest. I remember crying myself to sleep and she would not stop. I begged the nurses to be moved away or to do something, but they told me I cannot move and it's up to the Drs. And ofc, as soon as th Drs visited her she was all smiles and politeness, especially when they gave her morphine. I think on morphine she was quiet for maybe an hour if the rest of us were lucky, but once her "high" started to go she went straight back to crying and screaming. It's just such entitled behaviour. My mother even told me a terrible story while she was working on the wards (usually she works in A&E), during covid the beds were packed. A mother who had just seen and experienced her newborn passing away in her arms... And she had to listen to an addict cry, threaten, assault and a buse while saying incredibly disgusting things apparently. I can't even imagine what that poor woman must have been feeling, to have lost your baby and now you have to be next to an a busive addict that shouts constant demands and hurls nasty words at anyone. I even saw an addict trying to threaten and intimidate a poor girl who was on some kind of opioid in hopes she'll give it to him. I had to tell a nurse that a nurse or staff member must be present when she takes her pain relief because of that man's behaviour. He still wasn't kicked out. I have way more stories but this comment is already long. I don't want to generalize people, and I'm aware they're sick mentally and they just need help and support. But resorting to a busing the ones they're trying to help is never acceptable.
If you honestly thought Bats could have been the worst movie, you might never have seen an actually bad movie in your life, but rather a lot of mediocre ones. There's at least hundreds, but probably thousands of worse movies than that. Fortunately, most of them wouldn't be shown on TV or in cinemas.
the scariest thing of all is whenever drew shows the outside of places he visits and they’re all like 8 minutes away from my home. i don’t like feeling drew’s presence whenever i leave my home
'This is no ordinary house. In many ways, it's like any other old house, but its special' Truly the visionary writing I have come to expect from dream house
okay but to be fair, "There's someone inside your house" is an adaptation of a book, where most of the kills do occur in the victims house, and a lot of the book is very different to how the film plays out. The book is waay better than the film, atleast from what i remember cause i read it like 5-6 years ago lol. But in my opinion, I was pleasantly surprised by the film. It's no masterpiece, sure, but seeing that netflix logo on the cover had my expectations reaaaal low, and at times, especially the opening kill, had some pretty decent scenes.
Lol. My initial response when Drew uploads is “holy shit, that was a month?” Before having a mini existential crisis that goes away by the time the video is over. At this point it’s almost Pavlovian. I see Drew’s face and immediately feel the urge to dive into the discomfort surrounding the concept of aging.
I instantly recognized “there’s someone inside your house” because of the egg timer, but that was one of the only things they kept the same. It seems like some characters were the same, and they kept the fact that the climax took place in a corn maze, but so much of it was changed that it became a different story. They didn’t keep the victims the same, they changed the killer’s identity and motive, they changed the protagonist’s traumatic past, and they changed the big climax (the corn maze wasn’t on fire, for one). The original killer’s motive wasn’t “people who have secrets,” it was “people who were going to leave the small town he lives in.” The first victim was a girl who was a talented actress who would probably head off to Broadway. iirc a few of the other victims were a religious kid who was going to go on a mission trip, a girl who got into a prestigious college, the protagonist because she probably wouldn’t be here for long and was an “outsider,” a football star who was going to get scouted, and so on. The protagonist cut her friend’s hair off and let her wander into the water, where she almost drowned… it had nothing to do with fire. The killer’s identity was also known well before the climax at the corn maze. I can’t tell from this how many other things they changed, but I don’t have high expectations. No wonder the movie was so incoherent and contradictory… they changed random elements of the book to the point where it’s an entirely different story.
Thank you for this!! I read the book a while ago so I knew that the egg timer scene was from it but absolutely nothing else felt familiar. This is very validating!
@@sourdough6653 I thought it was a fun enough read, not a necessarily a “must-read” but definitely enjoyable if you like murder mystery/thriller type books!
The Dream House review is an instant classic. This movie some guy filmed in one day and hardly edited was in a dvd bargain bin and you own it now. That is a fact that I will be fascinated with forever.
This comment deserves more likes. I'd LOVE Drew reviewing more brilliantly terrible horror movies, they're my fave kinda films for sure. Either you get scared or you're laughing, win win 😅.
I need him to watch Trailer Park of Terror. Me and my friend in high school once a week would get high, go to blockbuster, and rent a horror movie. Trailer Park of Terror was so out of this world. Lmao
Ulli lommel was smuggled out of germany to escape the red army and went on to perform with elvis. He worked with andy warhol and several others. Many decades later he cranked out weird movies. Guy is super interesting.
12:05 My favorite part about this is that "Bats" was not, in fact, one and done. There was a sequel in 2007 called "Bats: Human Harvest." And it's rated R.
I had the unfortunate displeasure of reading the book "There's Someone Inside Your House" was based on and when I heard they were making a movie it awakened a dormant rage within me. They also don't spend a lot of time in the house in the book either, if I remember correctly, but I try not to remember it.
@@syds8752it really was. I’ve read worse since then but this one really hit me that they made a whole ass movie adaption of it. I’m like “??? Why??” (If they ever do a movie of Malerman’s “Daphne” you’ll hear my anguish)
What really bothers me is the fact they killed off a guy just for having an addiction. That's like killing off a guy for having anxiety or depression lol. Nobody is inherently bad for struggling with a mental problem. A sibling of mine died a couple weeks ago, likely due to an overdose, and I never thought they were a bad person for battling with addictions. This movie/book/whatever is such a slap in the face to drug survivors and to the families and friends of those who have died to drug use...
All this video has done is made me really want to see Bats. It delivered perfectly on the premise, something that is rare in movies. Also, that guy in Dream House saying "what?" in the same, non-chalant tone three times in a row is top tier acting.

Congrats on getting pinned.
the first movie being named theres someone inside your house and having nothing to do with a house and then the second one being named bats and ONLY being about bats is so fucking funny to me
same with dream home only ever talking about the damn house and the curse of the zodiac having little to nothing to do with the original zodiac killer 😭
It can either be all about the title or nothing to do with the title, there's no in-between
i actually remember seeing Bats in the theater and for the first like 10 mins the film was upside down and everyone just assumed it was a stylistic choice because of the subject matter lol
the only possible improvement that could be made to this flawless film
I’m sorry but that’s hilarious 😭
That’s AMAZING

To be fair, if somebody monologued about the house I was looking at like that weird guy did, my response would probably also be “okay, thanks man.”
I wouldn't buy the house because the neighbors are too creepy.

@umphreak9999 I was going to say this exact thing but I thought no one would know what I was talking about 😭😭
It's one of those things that separates good movies, since although it is realistic dialogue, movies are (fun fact) not actually realistic.
So the key to good movies is making weird dialogue sound normal (like the fact that theres no stuttering, or people talking in full sentences without food in their mouths at breakfast)

The writing/dialogue in Dream House is SO funny. It's like they gave the actors one line, and told them to deliver the same line 5 different ways, but then they used every single line read and stitched it together as if it's somehow a cohesiveness and normal way to speak. "It's no ordinary house. It's just like any other house. This house is special. This house is pretty normal though. The thing about this house is, it's kinda normal. Anyways, that's why you shouldn't move here."

I saw Bats a million years ago when it came out. It has possibly the dumbest line in 1990’s cinema.
At the end of their introductory scene, Shiela asks Jimmy if he wants to get something to eat.
Jimmy responds “Girl, I’m a brother. You know we hungry.”

Holy crap, the director of "dream home" was my uber driver once. He had posters for it and copies of it for sale and insisted that I watch the trailer that they had playing on repeat on an ipad strapped to the headrest. This was also in 2021 over a decade after it was release. Decent driver though.

You know how sometimes you can immediately tell from the delivery that two actors in the same scene weren't actually on set together? Dream Home is like that but with every actor seeming like they're in their own pocket dimension, even when they're in the same shot and physically interacting.
the pocket dimension is in their mind and it's trying to remember the script
they're all trying to remember what the fuck the plot is supposed to be
This is how the movie old feels
You can tell the writers of “Bats” were like “We can do Hitchcock’s The Birds but like rad as hell”

I just finished reading There's Someone Inside Your House and this isn't just a case of "The book is better". This is a case of "The movie changed every single thing about this book except the title and made it SO MUCH WORSE." Imagine if Stanley Kubrick made The Shining about a little boy with the magic power to make car windshields glare. That's how different the two are. I highly highly recommend the book to anyone who is curious about the initial concept being done WELL
I was looking for a comment that mentioned this, and I totally agree! I loved the book and I didn't expect the movie to be EXACTLY the same, but I also didn't expect them to change it entirely. It really sucks, didn't do the book justice at all.
Somewhat ironically, "The Shining" didn't get a lot of appreciation at the time because it was a pretty significant departure from the source material, at least in terms of the themes. Most of the elements about being a writer and the alcoholism were toned down or removed. Of course today it's seen as one of the best horror films ever made (and rightly so), but that wasn't the perception at the time.
I remember watching the movie and hating it but I’ll read the book now!
What if I hated the book, does that mean I'll like the movie?
Only listening Drew's the synopsis, the only thing that clued me into this being an adaptation of the book was the name "Makani" and the hazing, b/c for everything else WTF??
Maybe Dream House is like that episode of community where chang gets famous and they try to make money off him by making a movie with a minimum of 81 minutes long using footage they already had of him
"no secrets"
"Im in the closet because people will persecute me for being gay. You literally killed the guy who beat me"

Gotta keep the the Bury Your Gays trope alive somehow.
i took one extra piece of candy and now the killer is going to decimate me
Shit forgot to brush my teeth last night *Axe appears behind me in the mirror*
... Are we seriously trying to apply logic and morality to the actions of a serial killer...?
Like... Dude. I'm TOTALLY sure that Jack the Ripper was really a good person, after all he was killing prostitutes, and I'm sure it wasn't because they were easy prey or because he just liked killing them specifically because of his fucked-up mental state or anything like that... Obviously it was for logical moral reasons.
Come on. You gotta see how stupid this is.
Real life serial killers kill who they kill because of past trauma they're imprinting onto a specific demographic, because of ease, because of fucked up sexual desires, because they like how people with red hair look, because of any number of illogical personal reasons. They have a type, sure... But are you really asking for that type to make logical moral sense?
I gotta say, Faith and Darren are amazing characters. There's absolutely nothing interesting about them, they're astoundingly oblivious throughout the whole movie, and have frankly inhuman patience for their insanely creepy white neighbours. Just the nicest, plainest couple you've ever seen. That credit card transaction was a cherry on top.

another politician who was ahead of the democrats? Cheney. obviously i don't like anything else about him, but his daughter is a lesbian and he was pro-gay marriage before all these democrat politicians.

Dream Home (2006) oddly has the same vibes as those crappy ps1 games with oddly endearing 3D FMVs. With the music and that one scene that plays right after Faye finds the necklace under the bed, it reminds me of when you grab an important item in a game and a cutscene plays.

I feel like a lot of movies and shows miss one of the coolest/spookiest parts of bats, and that is that they are almost completely silent when they hunt. At least the ones by where I live. Like it is cool when I go out to my parents house late in the evening and I don't really ever see the bats, just see motion as they zip bye and maybe a quiet solitary flap of a wing.
My local theater just did a showing of The Birds for its 60th anniversary, and I was kind of shocked how scary and intense it actually was for a movie that came out in 1963. The Bats is like they tried to replicate that, except nobody on the crew had ever watched a Hitchcock movie, and also none of them had ever seen a bat before.
I was wondering if anyone else made that connection! You’re totally right, that part where the car explodes (in the birds) is pretty intense. My favorite Hitchcock film for sure
@@Duckduckduckduckgoose I was most surprised by the shot of the man with his eyes pecked out, it was such wonderful build up to that reveal that I really didn't expect in a movie that old!

I remember going to see Bats and about halfway through the film screwed up and started playing upside down and some how it made it better. It does have one of my all time favorite bad lines ever. When asked why he made the killer bats he says “We’re scientists it’s what we do.”
Beautiful
I think my mom internalized this quote with no memory of where it came from and I’m so glad I have a reference point because she kept quoting it without knowing where it was feom
I love hollywood's understanding of scientists, as if the job's not actually just spending half your day applying for research grants and then crying in the bathroom
As a scientist this is absolutely what we do all day.
and trying not to let Reviewer #2 absolutely torch your manuscript and confidence and ruin your day
The creepy neighbour is the only guy who did a good job in Dream Home. Delivers his lines well, has a very strong creepy vibe, doesn’t blink, this dude killed it at his role.
Its like i always say, the line between comedy and horror is microscopic
i cant tell if youre a homestuck or if im going terminally insane
@@Ebony___ their avatar is literally nepeta and the only playlist on their channel starts with homestuck music lol
@@Louis-ty6li i didnt check their channel :] and yeah the pfp was why i was asking, i dont go up to random people asking if theyre a homestuck thatd be unhinged (funny to think abt tho...)
esp w slapstick sometimes people completely miss "scary"
To me, the wildest thing about the second two secrets in “There’s Someone Inside Your House” is that it would’ve been _so_ incredibly easy for them to add in factors that would’ve made them into _actually_ shitty people while keeping their other secrets fully in tact. However, instead they just went with, “Struggling with addiction… BOO” and “Daring to be attracted to the same sex, BOO”. Big yikes! LOL.
yeah lol it's based on a book that i read when i was 8 or 9 and only the first scene was adapted well
@@OliviaMcCaslin Hmm… I had no idea that it was based on a book! (Obviously. Haha.) Was it some sort of weird AF slasher book directly aimed at 7/8/9 year olds (Which seems pretty crazy to me but also feels totally plausible because I hear about some truly wild shit almost on the daily anymore. lol.) _or_ we’re you just reading books targeted at older kids and it was more of pre-teen/teenage horror type of deal? Clearly I’m not familiar with the source material OR the movie, but based on the secrets that got everyone killed, I’m really not getting a kids’ horror/Goosebumps vibe from it at all. 🤷🏼
Pretty clearly written by a religious person. They love to treat drug addicts like the boogie man. Dehumanize the hell out of anyone who struggles with substances. Unless it’s alcohol.
@@radlee974you seen the new goosebumps? Everything is super edgy, moody and for adults now
The latter is a trope in not just horror, but basically everything, and it somehow keeps making it in for some fucking reason. We're all tired of it.
Can we all just take a second to appreciate how drew
I also really liked how Drew
I really liked it when drew
I agree, my favorite part of this video was when Drew
When Drew I
Yess! I love it when Drew
My fiancé and I were celebrating his 26th birthday.
He was looking forward to having a good time with some drinking.
We decides it would be a "fun" idea to take a sip of wine everytime we heard the word "bat" in the Bats movie section of the video(which last for 7 freaking minutes feels like a lot more).
It wasn't fun.
He was drunk and uncouncions half an hour later.
It was 10pm.
This is a lie, i was set unconscious not because of the alcohol but because of the venomous farts produced by the missy above
i recently lost a significant amount of hearing. i just wanted to thank drew for how well captioned all of his videos are. i’ve always loved him but i feel like that is one thing that goes unnoticed that means a lot ♥️
captions are so important and since UA-cam removed viewer edited captions, watching anything on here has changed for me. I’m so grateful when I come across a creator who takes the time for subtitles.
@@capnmaee He hires people to do the captions for him, which is why there are occasionally typos. Either way, he's a great example of what UA-camrs SHOULD be doing. I have very great hearing but I do struggle with processing spoken language, so captions help me understand what people are saying.
On one hand, I get why UA-cam removed community captions (people were abusing them to promote their own channels or promote terrorism/bigotry, also sometimes people would just write really cringey shit lol). On the other hand, not many UA-camrs actually take the time to put captions on their videos.
I think a great solution would be for UA-camrs to allow people to submit a caption-style script (with timestamps to avoid confusion) to them, this way the UA-camr doesn't have to do all the work. Then the UA-camr can edit any specific typos (the amount of times Drew's captioners have misspelt "Bim Bim" is insane). It's the best of both worlds, except the UA-camrs get to cherry-pick which community captions actually do their job.
I have good hearing, but occasionally someone says something weirdly or a word I don’t know and I need to look it up, or they speak a little to fast so I can read it by pausing. Captions are always good, and if someone doesn’t need them, they can then them off. I don’t see any reason to not have captions. No idea why UA-cam removed community captions.
@@Glaycierprobably for the reasons the person above explained, people were abusing them. We can’t ever have nice things
@@naia1362 sadly yeah, but I do wish we could at least have them. Like creators give permission to certain users to make subtitles on their channel or smth, kinda like a community helper so that way not everyone has access to change the subtitles, but we can’t ever have nice thing in this world.
The Dream House review is an instant classic
❤❤ nice video ❤❤
Great 👍
Nice
👍
Nice one 💯💯
I remember, around like 2-2.5 years ago, me and my brother watched a "horror" movie about a guy who hires a zombie to do his housework, and the zombie is secretly in love with the dude's wife. So its probably the greatest movie of all time.
You can't just say this and NOT say what the movie is
What's the name of it
OK OK OK. So never heard of this, but I've done the lord's work and dug up a bit, I think the movie they're referring to is "Fido" 2006. Might be wrong tho, so let me know. I think it fills all the boxes.
@@roxirock5455Fido is actually a really good movie, in my personal opinion
@@roxirock5455 thank you
Ranking movies based on how much the title reflects the content:
There’s Someone Inside Your House: 1/10

I'm so used to watching old Drew videos that it's weird not knowing what happens next
same! it’s weird not having them memorized yet 😭
RIGHT LMFAO
Same. I like to watch Drew's videos before bed with the sound off and captions on. :)
It seems like i never have an original experience lol me tooo
@@onestupidowl80But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26:22-23
she was really doing the best with her lines being " i want that house"
I watched “There’s Someone Inside Your House” with my dad and we were both completely lost and confused the whole time because we couldn’t figure out who was who. All the male characters look the exact same 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻
haha bro i was watching the video and was like "didnt this dude die twice already"?
I like the book much better.
@@tacosauce8639it’s a book!?!? 😭
!!!! I thought I was the only one
So true
i was so excited for there’s someone inside your house bc that’s like my biggest fear (someone living in my attic/ being in my home without me knowing) and was so disappointed. this movie had such great potential
My roommate and I found curse of the zodiac in a church thrift store a couple months ago and watched it. It is truly hard to even explain the absolute fever dream of a film that it is. Almost every shot is Dutch angled, underexposed, double exposed and with a green filter on it. The best part is when we looked up his filmography after and found out its not even the only film about the Zodiac killer that this director made.
As a dude who saw "Bats" in theaters when I was a kid... it just feels good to be represented in modern media. I award you 2 batwings. Roughly comparable to 1 3D printed teenagers face.
With There's Someone Inside Your House it feels like they wrote the first two murders and then realised there was no reason for anyone to want the killer stopped so they had to suddenly have him kill innocent people
Yeah, it really does seem that way
mmm well i don't think murder is a fair response to anyone who have assaulted someone. actually i don't think murder is a fair response to almost anything, so yeah i would want him stopped
to be fair it is originally a book and (although i didn't dislike the movie) they left out a bit from the book so it didn't flow together or make as much sense in movie form
I think they could’ve have the killer accidentally kill someone who later was proved innocent or wrongly acussed, and then the killer slowly starting to have hunger for killing rather than justice, so that way they would’ve had the viewer in a moral battle.
What’s frustrating is that there are many films/tv shows that have antagonists that have good motives for what they do, but it’s how they handle their issues that makes them an antagonist
20:19 reminds me of that scene in the office where angela is trying to explain her frustrations with dwight without giving any sort of details whatsoever
im only 3 minutes into the video but i wanted to say how much it meant to me (an addict, whos parents are also addicts) for someone i look up to a lot to say addiction doesn't automatically make you a bad person. a lot of people believe addicts are the scum of the earth and deserve the worst in life when a majority of us are just people who are struggling. thank you drew :D
It's an illness, not a moral failing. Sure, it can lead to doing horrible things, but so can many illnesses
You deserve help in healing, not punishment for struggling
Take care!
Glad you got some validation.
Whose* parents. And you shouldn't let what others think determine how you see yourself. Most people who judge others for things like that are often some of the worst people out there. They try to make themselves look less vile or hide their actual evilness by finding reasons to accuse others of being that. Yes, some addicts are bad people, but the two things don't automatically go hand in hand, as many sober people are bad people. The thing that makes someone a bad person is how they treat others. As long as you don't harm others, you're not a bad person.
I try not to judge any group of people, but when my mum started working as a nurse the amount of bruises and assaults and verbal a buse she had to endure because the addicts she was trying to help turned violent when they didn't get the drugs or whatever substances they wanted.
I also suffer with a chronic illness that demands me to be in hospital very frequently, and it still baffles me how well addicts are treated compared to other patients (I don't believe addicts should be mistreated btw). I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital for longer than an hour (went outside for fresh air as hospitals can be traumatic for me due to past experiences) because I would lose my bed. The addicts, however were allowed to leave for the entire day with their venflon cannula still in their vein which they were clearly using to a buse drugs, and they never lost their bed. I've seen addicts hit, scratch and kick nurses and doctors so many times and nothing is done, they're never held accountable. That is a serious failing of the system. I've seen them drink something to make them throw up so they can appear more ill, I've seen them bully and harass other patients. They're also seemingly treated very well where I'm from, not only can they get away with assault and I've never seen anyone kicked out but I've seen addicts get to lay in bed while myself and another patient with cancer had to sit in the hallway due to there being so few beds. That person took priority over someone who has cancer. Cancer. A person whose issues are self inflicted get treated better than someone suffering with something like cancer. And once there was a woman crying for about 16hours a day scrraming about how much pain she's in and that she needs morphine and she kept everyone else awake. Now, if I disturbed people like that and clearly expressed drug seeking behaviour I would be kicked out immediately, but she gets to stay and disturb all the very ill patients who need to rest. I remember crying myself to sleep and she would not stop. I begged the nurses to be moved away or to do something, but they told me I cannot move and it's up to the Drs. And ofc, as soon as th Drs visited her she was all smiles and politeness, especially when they gave her morphine. I think on morphine she was quiet for maybe an hour if the rest of us were lucky, but once her "high" started to go she went straight back to crying and screaming. It's just such entitled behaviour.
My mother even told me a terrible story while she was working on the wards (usually she works in A&E), during covid the beds were packed. A mother who had just seen and experienced her newborn passing away in her arms... And she had to listen to an addict cry, threaten, assault and a buse while saying incredibly disgusting things apparently. I can't even imagine what that poor woman must have been feeling, to have lost your baby and now you have to be next to an a busive addict that shouts constant demands and hurls nasty words at anyone. I even saw an addict trying to threaten and intimidate a poor girl who was on some kind of opioid in hopes she'll give it to him. I had to tell a nurse that a nurse or staff member must be present when she takes her pain relief because of that man's behaviour. He still wasn't kicked out.
I have way more stories but this comment is already long.
I don't want to generalize people, and I'm aware they're sick mentally and they just need help and support. But resorting to a busing the ones they're trying to help is never acceptable.
Stay strong, you will overcome it.
I didn’t think it was possible to find a movie worse than bats. I was immediately corrected.
Ikr dream house was so laughably bad my stomach hurts 😂@@justheretocommentokdontwan685
Excuse me, you mean as GOOD as Bats!
If you honestly thought Bats could have been the worst movie, you might never have seen an actually bad movie in your life, but rather a lot of mediocre ones.
There's at least hundreds, but probably thousands of worse movies than that. Fortunately, most of them wouldn't be shown on TV or in cinemas.
@@Kijinn I definitely have, just said this for the comment lol
@@Cowboy_Frog it's so obvious you just learned what irony was 15 seconds before this comment was made.... Your 12 literally

'This is no ordinary house. In many ways, it's like any other old house, but its special'
Truly the visionary writing I have come to expect from dream house
All mean comments and jokes aside, I cannot express how much I needed Drew to upload right now, it's truly the best, thanks Drew!
Same yesterday I checked in hoping I had missed a notification and waking up to this was a great surprise
Hope all of yall are doing well
Don't you mean Drewly the best?
Jesus Loves you so much! You may not think it but there is a reason you’re seeing this. He wants you to know Him so you Two can have a Relationship.
@@Jesus_Loves_you2499 a drew gooden video is EXACTLY the place where I'd like to be converted to Christianity. you go man
okay but to be fair, "There's someone inside your house" is an adaptation of a book, where most of the kills do occur in the victims house, and a lot of the book is very different to how the film plays out. The book is waay better than the film, atleast from what i remember cause i read it like 5-6 years ago lol. But in my opinion, I was pleasantly surprised by the film. It's no masterpiece, sure, but seeing that netflix logo on the cover had my expectations reaaaal low, and at times, especially the opening kill, had some pretty decent scenes.
Lol. My initial response when Drew uploads is “holy shit, that was a month?” Before having a mini existential crisis that goes away by the time the video is over. At this point it’s almost Pavlovian. I see Drew’s face and immediately feel the urge to dive into the discomfort surrounding the concept of aging.
Nice work
I instantly recognized “there’s someone inside your house” because of the egg timer, but that was one of the only things they kept the same. It seems like some characters were the same, and they kept the fact that the climax took place in a corn maze, but so much of it was changed that it became a different story. They didn’t keep the victims the same, they changed the killer’s identity and motive, they changed the protagonist’s traumatic past, and they changed the big climax (the corn maze wasn’t on fire, for one). The original killer’s motive wasn’t “people who have secrets,” it was “people who were going to leave the small town he lives in.” The first victim was a girl who was a talented actress who would probably head off to Broadway. iirc a few of the other victims were a religious kid who was going to go on a mission trip, a girl who got into a prestigious college, the protagonist because she probably wouldn’t be here for long and was an “outsider,” a football star who was going to get scouted, and so on. The protagonist cut her friend’s hair off and let her wander into the water, where she almost drowned… it had nothing to do with fire. The killer’s identity was also known well before the climax at the corn maze. I can’t tell from this how many other things they changed, but I don’t have high expectations. No wonder the movie was so incoherent and contradictory… they changed random elements of the book to the point where it’s an entirely different story.
Thank you for this!! I read the book a while ago so I knew that the egg timer scene was from it but absolutely nothing else felt familiar. This is very validating!
Was the book good?
@@sourdough6653 I thought it was a fun enough read, not a necessarily a “must-read” but definitely enjoyable if you like murder mystery/thriller type books!
Why if they were leaving town? Was the killer that attached to it?
Ngl it sounds like a more serious Hot Fuzz
26:30 This piano player scene has me dying. Just looking at this guy try not to laugh after saying some bs lines with that super old man voice.

I wanna hear Drew talk about more bad high-budget horror movies, I honestly find those ones way more infuriating
"but unfortunately, the movie continues" seems like an ongoing theme in all of drew's movie reviews
The Dream House review is an instant classic. This movie some guy filmed in one day and hardly edited was in a dvd bargain bin and you own it now. That is a fact that I will be fascinated with forever.
Drew please make this an ongoing series. The potential is endless.

This comment deserves more likes. I'd LOVE Drew reviewing more brilliantly terrible horror movies, they're my fave kinda films for sure. Either you get scared or you're laughing, win win 😅.
I need him to watch Trailer Park of Terror. Me and my friend in high school once a week would get high, go to blockbuster, and rent a horror movie. Trailer Park of Terror was so out of this world. Lmao
Ulli lommel was smuggled out of germany to escape the red army and went on to perform with elvis. He worked with andy warhol and several others. Many decades later he cranked out weird movies. Guy is super interesting.

19:33 are we just not gonna talk about the constant three notes of piano in the background throughout the WHOLE DAMN MOVIE
It became jarring
I want to see an amazing director attempt to remake one of these. i.e. Jordan Peele directing "Dream Home"
It's already pretty lynch-like
10:55 "Bats are particularly abundant in the tropics." Britannica
12:05 My favorite part about this is that "Bats" was not, in fact, one and done. There was a sequel in 2007 called "Bats: Human Harvest." And it's rated R.
I had the unfortunate displeasure of reading the book "There's Someone Inside Your House" was based on and when I heard they were making a movie it awakened a dormant rage within me. They also don't spend a lot of time in the house in the book either, if I remember correctly, but I try not to remember it.
It was so poorly written.
@@syds8752it really was. I’ve read worse since then but this one really hit me that they made a whole ass movie adaption of it. I’m like “??? Why??” (If they ever do a movie of Malerman’s “Daphne” you’ll hear my anguish)
What really bothers me is the fact they killed off a guy just for having an addiction. That's like killing off a guy for having anxiety or depression lol. Nobody is inherently bad for struggling with a mental problem. A sibling of mine died a couple weeks ago, likely due to an overdose, and I never thought they were a bad person for battling with addictions. This movie/book/whatever is such a slap in the face to drug survivors and to the families and friends of those who have died to drug use...
I mean, they also killed a guy for the crime of... being secretly gay? That's a horrible look too.
All this video has done is made me really want to see Bats. It delivered perfectly on the premise, something that is rare in movies. Also, that guy in Dream House saying "what?" in the same, non-chalant tone three times in a row is top tier acting.
It does seem like a fun movie, if only for the sheer insanity.
