The moral compass is skewed because of media violence. I'm pretty sure that's what they were getting at. That's always been my take away. Doesnt make it any less bogus, but all the same.

Not really. You have people who get upset over dog deaths in movies and video games. That appears to be one last taboo for western/white audiences.

Agreed. Considering children used to be taken to public hangings just for fun I would say, if anything, that technology has nothing to do with desensitisation

@@scart8571 Lets not act like that was widespread. Very, very few children would ever see an execution. A bit like treating a child trafficking victim as the average child today. They're the exception, not the rule.

In the book the equate it to salting your steaks, which basically is just a tenderizing technique. But yeah It does eat them

which is weird cause we were taught fear is the last thing you want your meat to feel cause adrenaline makes the muscles tense and thus the meat gets tougher, tasteless and go bad faster due to the high Ph

@@shini2007 Pennywise is a trans-dimensional bad guy/demon/thing. I don't think the texture of the meat is important.

@@Tanstaafl_74 just because a person comes from the depths of hell doesn't mean they deserve bad quality of meat. Of course if they do like how fear tastes then that's the preference lol

Back to todash space with you

Imagine someone illegally streaming you via cctv-IP without you knowing and profiting from the nonconsensual exploitation bc that's what's going on with me under 100 pseudonyms used to obfuscate the exploitation and prevent me from tracking down the videos. Not to mention deep fakes created with the illegal video footage to further create issues for me

You should watch a movie called "The Den" if you haven't it's a really great movie and not to spoil it but this movie actually stole the ending but this was was just complete fucking shit tbh and a disgrace to any horror movie even the worst ones like SyFy Originals lol.

@@jennpark8559 this is one of the craziest comments I’ve seen on this website

@John Little biggest fucking boomer take I’ve ever seen

Black Mirror does "technology is bad" really well. It's more like bad people use technology in terrible ways though.

That one shot of the beachgoers with their phones looks like it's from a Coldplay music video. So bad.

They were the creepiest part of the movie. Because they’re not supernatural beings we can project our own shitty behavior onto. They’re us. Nothing to do with cell phones. That’s just more projection. We’ve behaved this way for centuries, enthusiastically watching people being tortured and slaughtered and burned.

Of course Viewers want to see real onscreen deaths. That's why Cannibal Holocaust is one of the highest rated horror films of all time.

@@glitterspray There is a well studied phenomena called the "bystander effect". Basically, the more people who are present, the less likely that any one of them will offer aid. If only one other person had been on that beach, they would probably have rushed to help her.

@@glitterspray Well, not all of us, but enough I guess.

The whole “but phones bad” message doesn’t really seem to have anything to do with the rest of the movie, or with reality. When disasters happen people step up and help. Humans care about each other.

@@beefpelican didn't see the video yet but theres hella people that say people won't care about others, but even if they don't, they'll help, you need people to fonction a country

Am not sure if they just ripped off the ending or the ending was just an inspiration Cause the ending was somehow similar to the "hacked webcam" horror movie "THE DEN"

@@beefpelican I love movies that say phones and technology are bad yet they've used so much technology to make the movie

​@@Helixassassin The point has flown way over your head, it seems.

Yes! And also In the Tall Grass

Exactly to both of your comments!

Also "the hills have eyes"

and also blair witch project when they go a particular direction and still wind up at the same place (the house) as if they circled back to starting point. i think that was the intention of the movie to show how bad and cliche fab's movie is haha

Bro this entire movie reminds me of wrong turn

I didnt think she was going to drown herself but that interpretation makes more sense to me. I thought she was going to wash herself off lol

@@completlynormalhypernova666 I dont think she was trying to drown either. She is given a stigmata earlier in the film, and we never see the father of the baby, and she decides to keep the baby. I think the ending represents a baptism for a mother Mary parallel

@@completlynormalhypernova666 0

I figured she saw all those families and wanted to clean herself before they came to help.

That was just my first thought, she saw no one trying to help and instead of calling for help she just....goes to drown herself...and to me it was a cooler movie with the demon aspect.

and it's not even true

Except it continues to be true so...

@@IceQueen975 You're right but kids watching this are getting triggered because it reminds them of their parents telling them to get off their phones.

@@EnclosedPoolArea Yeah why can't people entertain themselves like they did in the good old days by going to a nice wholesome public lynching?

This whole movie was tired

bOoMeR

The whole 'new technology bad makes ppl worse' concept is such an overused boring trope typical of boomers

Nha, it's actually pretty realistic. People would do that, expecting others to call. The only way to ger someone to act is making them panic

@@riccardocanziani2497 No it's not. I certainly wouldn't, and I hope no one here would either. There is such a thing as the bystander effect, but it has nothing to do with phones (people would ignore those who needed help long before phones) and not every person would realistically allow themselves to fall to it. Not only is it a horribly predictable scene, it's also completely lacking in originality, practically pulled from the pages of a political cartoon, and just plain stupid. Having even one person at least *look* concerned could have done away with the unintentional comedy factor but the director just *had* to make a "statement" I guess

@@the13throse Not to mention that The Bystander Effect has actually been proven to not be as strong or accurate as people think it is. Obviously a large majority of people will be stunned but to say that everyone won't do anything is wrong

Good one!

Ask him to play Fortnite

This sounds kind of dumb, but I always forget what the title of Pyewacket is and I end up calling it Peedewacker.

I've been meaning to watch that movie I've had it downloaded for like A year and a half. Worried it's gonna suck lol

3 years damn bro, I'll join your cause and ask him to review that movie too. Good luck bro.

It does make sense tho, considering that the antagonist is a horror-movie director wannabe.

Was there a “deformed” (DISABLED) kid in Midsommar? I missed that. And disappointed. As I was in this film going there for cheap shock value. Tired of filmmakers using the disabled as tropes for creepiness. Especially the trope that people with DID have a sociopathic serial killer personality when they’re far more likely to be victims than to victimize.

@@glitterspray If I remember correctly there were no disabled person in Midsommar, only in Hereditary.

@@lucascamerino6354 Oh, sadly, there was. Ruben, the deliberately inbred prophet kid who was in all the trailers despite being in the film for like less than a minute.

@@Perinlyn Oh yeah, it was pointed out that he was from inbreeding tho. and it wasn't as harsh as hereditary that made it look like deformed ppl are horrifying or smth.

You mean like those movies explained KZfaq series where they don’t directly state the movie title (just a description of the plot as the title). Then make up odd ways of discerning scenes in the movie like “they decide to have hormone time” or “handsome and beautiful decide to go on a date”.

@@medicwheat69 no, I don't know if I've ever seen a video like that

Hope you didn't waste your time with this one

@@GeminiHiro009 I usually watched it while doing other things so no time wasted here ;)

I felt the same way. What's scary about the mafia? You can just shoot or stab them lol

Couldn’t agree more. It was cool up to that point. Then I was like ugh this is stupid.

Maybe watch Midsommar

@@colinconsidine5209 felt the same man just threw everything out for me.

Still isn't really any explanation for how they walked through the woods in a single direction and ended up back at the cabin.

thats just because the vibe was right

The meat had been tenderized really well.

imagine the spike in fear when a supernatural clown bites your arm off. its just tactics lol

@@thechemtrailkid No IT eats meat but fear just seasons the meat.

Or Ophelia...

Noice

Or Just an Old Fashioned Love Song

Clever girl..

At least it's entertaining unlike "A Future Comedy".

FFFFF 🤣

Thank you for your service, kind sir :).

Thank you for your service bro! I am in the same boat as you, I love horrors but can’t do jump scares due to my PTSD from the Army. It’s like horrors allow us to not to have emotions that would cause triggers.

I get heah i dont have PTSD from the army( thank you for your service btw ) i just have other things that im sensitive to that bring back memories so i get it

Aw

Lol @ the useless thank you for your service posts.

Says you, I consume two bags of salt every day

He feeds on people in general. Kids are just easier to scare. He's eaten adults in a pinch

Thank you was gonna put the same thing

@@steamed_hamsters9170 I get all my salt from the KZfaq comments section.

For Pennywise. The Children are the Salt. Not the fear and negative emotions. Kids just tend to provide more of what he's after without the typical emotional control that adults are supposed to possess.

And it's so incredibly dumb. They're demonizing the entirety of modern tech and then in the same breath promote their shit movies on whatever streaming site pays enough.

Sorry but look at the kitty Genevieve case...or just look at this pandemic. People are absolute monsters to one another. Having too much faith and hope in people is a mistake. Who would’ve thought our pandemic would turn out just like movies say from how it spread to the misinformation Etc... even though we’ve always said people would never be like that.

@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink Faith? Hope? Humanity destroyed those in me a bit again. All I'm saying is, while there are people who would just watch, that isn't everyone. There are bad people out there. But there are also a small fragment of good people too.

@@shad03void99 I see your point and I do agree to an extent. Sorry for my pessimism, just hard for me to watch everyone say people aren’t like that when it’s observed all the time, especially this yr. But true not everyone is like that.

@@shad03void99 Saying not everyone is bad doesn’t help or accomplish anything. Even if not all are the type to bring out their phones, the entire point is a lot of them are and the message brings awareness to that. And plus, the scenario on the beach is entirely possible because even if not everyone would bring their phones out, that specific beach could be filled with everyone who r bad. It truly wouldn’t surprise me…especially when I’ve seen cases where entire neighborhoods were bad.

Man I think you've fallen and can't get up

😂😂

Sure is fascinating how many people seem to have so much free time at work.

@@RighteousRage Well considering i just watch CCTV footage for hours at work, it gives me time to watch youtube whenever i feel like it.

Exactly what I would say. Cinematically it's not "Bad" it's just cringe and super surface level, when they think it's actually deep for some reason. Just not a great experience.

@Rick Danger nah

Yeah I felt the same. The atmosphere that the movie created was so good and I was completely immersed in the demon cult thing, then it was revealed that it was just some psycho trying to make a movie. Some people might like it, even I would have liked it but just not this time because I wanted it to be a demon.

@@user-sc9mz2du2e I highly doubt demons would be using tools like that lol that was the biggest giveaway that they were just wearing masks

Not as lazy as the trope of perennially online, phone addicts getting upset at any movie critiquing any aspect of technology dependence.

Same, I’m not against criticism of how this generation is dependent technology, l mean my favorite musical is Octet, which is literally about a group of internet addicts at a support group, but so many directors are so lazy about it and just do it to make themselves look deep.

@@EnclosedPoolArea bro you can't criticize others for being addicted to technology and social media when you are whoooorrriinngg it up in the comments. Like you've literally commented on almost every single thread. You're the very source of the criticism you dish out.

@@rinasakurai8857 Im glad someone else noticed this too lol. dude wont shut up

@@EnclosedPoolArea Honestly man you fit to a trope the best here, I'm just surprised you exist. I thought at this point it was just people ironically making fun of people like you left.

Of all the horror movies I've seen where the kid was evil. I was amazed to finally see someone just shoot the little bastered.

You mean Elisa and Chiara. No hate just an Italian girl

@@riry4109 No worries!

Me too 🤣🤣 It was funny asf

Thanks I was wondering what malignant gate was referring to

Malignant is really shitty tbh

🙏

🙏🏾 prayers up for you peace and love in Jesus name that things get better bro sending love from Minnesota stay strong

Hang in there bro, you're not alone.

Hope things get better my man, all the strenght to you

Stay strong bro 🙏🏾

Especially when foundflix mentions that the cult mimicked her crying at the table

Yass!! The Italian midsommar-sort of

It is riffing on other horror so it makes sense

@mrballen has entered the chat

He explains horror like hes reading a children's book so yeah, I agree. I love him tho

Saw your profile pic in my peripheral vision and was like, 'Is that Tom from myspace?' 😂

I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Dead meat

Oh my gosh 😞 I saw a video on tiktok recently of a kid who fell down in a gym class having some heart problem and all his classmates just ignored him, shocking

I can't tell if the above is deep satire or not. But this is exactly why these movies 'message' means nothing. So the kids did that, so what? So the coworkers did, so what? What does it say about us, what does the message from this movie say about us? Nothing, it's just for bored housewives to respond to with 'shocking'. Shitty ppl are out there, have been since the dawn of mankind. Pointing it out in movie or in real life is almost as tired and meaningless as filming a plastic bag in the wind and declaring it the height of art.

It’s weird to me that an extraterrestrial, inter dimensional, godlike entity has to feed on little kids. That’s like a human eating dust mites

You assume I don't feed exclusively on the seasoning from the steak.

@@catsquidcatoverlord9842 Touché.

@@massivecowbreakout7555 well he doesn't HAVE to feed on kids, he could feed on anyone. He just prefers feeding on kids because kids are easier to scare and for him fear makes things taste better

Thank you, now we know we will never go to Calabria

Easy Attention grabber ok we get it.

standards cmon now

Alo!

No.

@@rofflesvanwagon lol. You clearly haven’t seen these and if you have and can’t see the parallels, I suggest you keep your wrong opinion to yourself. It’s one thing to butt in but it’s quite another to do so when you are wrong. It’s tasteless.

His name is Chris???!!

@@davidlian1301 lol Yup ☺️

@@davidlian1301 No, his first name is Found and his last name is Flix, obviously. 🙄

@@juliusweiss5447 1/5 joke do better next time.

@@davidlian1301 Aww, are your fee fees hurt? They must be since you went from a 3/5 to a 1/5. And it obviously wasn’t a joke, it was sarcasm.

Why are bots in my replies 😂

No doubt. Plus being one of the most beautiful drawn manga I've ever come across. Vagabond being a close second.

Definitely the way I’d love to see him break form and branch out.

Berserk is a mixture of many horror artists. Miura was inspired by Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Beksinski's and Bosch's paintings, religion and many, many more. Apostle designs are like 1:1 description of Old Testimony angels.

Yessss

Such a tempting manga to start with

I thought for sure Malignant would be his next upload.

He did make a video por malignant! It was blocked tho :(

Why'd they squelch his eyes out though if they're supposed to pull them out and put them in a wicker man?

@@djmaus7909 You're right! That didn't make sense lol.

'

Agreed 100%

That's kind of the point. The guy was an amateur wannabe horror director just using all the tropes from movies (cults, sacrifice, evil gods, etc.) but making it real.

Kill List is a great film. I imagine if he skipped Ben's newer movie in the earth that he won't be getting around to it any time soon. The conspiracy was fun for sure

Umm have you seen the trailer for Karen? Its going to be the best american horror movie ever. smile.
