We can all agree that the mother is the true monster in all of this

"If your giant shapeshifting pet crow started terrorizing your neighbourhood, what whould you do?" I'd get a plage-doctor costume, spice it up with some black feathers, and become the world's first supervillain.

This was a surprisingly well-made family drama with a little coat of horror paint on top. Excellent practical effects, too. Worth a watch if you need something other than teenagers getting killed in the woods by a slasher villain.

Crows are my favorite animals. And now that I know they can do this, I have all the more respect for them.

this creature was basically like a fae version of a cuckoo. cuckoo birds will leave their eggs in the nests of other birds, letting said other birds raise the cuckoo chick (and oftentimes, the cuckoo chick will outcompete or straight up kill the parent bird's real babies) so... yeah. this wasn't a crow monster, it was a cuckoo monster.

The bird is supposed to be a metaphor for her suppressed emotions, but man was it fun to see someone apply some logic to it all. 😄

You know I love the choice of using puppets it was definitely the move! That thing is utterly terrifying and yet all the more enjoyable because it’s not CGI’d beyond recognition.

I can't blame her for trying to save it. The only member of her family who hasn't wronged her throughout this entire movie is the psychotic bird girl.

The boytoy was so used to seeing this girl's mom on all fours he just assumed when he caught Ali on all fours he assumed that it was natural.

This is honestly just what 'family' channels are.

This movie really pissed me off. For one, I heard about it a long time ago, and was waiting for it to come out for like 5 years. And when it finally does, its so painfully unsatisfying. The only evil person in the whole movie, the mom, is the one that gets a happy ending. This video barely even covers how abusive she is to her daughter. This video also glosses over the important fact that Ali (the monster) was only targeting the things that Tina herself hated. The dog kept Tina up at night with its barking, so the monster killed it. The other girl was going to get her spot in the gym competition, so the monster attacked her. And Tina hated the baby because it was getting the love from her mom that Tina wanted, so the monster tried to kill it. All the monster was doing, was getting the telepathic hate vibes Tina was sending it, and acting on those vibes. So it makes the ending all the worse, when its the mom that is actually the real monster, and she lives happily ever after.

I love how Nerd's way to pronounce the name went from Tinja to Tiina. Both are Finnish girl names so nothing wrong there from that point of view, tho.

You should do 28 days later to complete the set. Also been watching you since day 1, so happy to see quality entertainment done by a guy that can talk about survival in an actually intelligent way. You’re literally my favorite KZfaqr, well maybe tied with RussianBadger. Either way I’m glad you’re seeing so much success.

as a Finnish, I can confirm we have crow pets like this. Also 18:28 this isn't uncommon in Finland at all

This isn’t an angry bird… it’s a mutant physiologic deranged crazy bird

I love your constant references, recently watched terrifier and thoroughly enjoyed it

These videos be having me rolling, his sense of humor is hilarious. Amazing job at making these videos.

this is not the angry birds i remember

I would say that the husband is very pathetic, but he’s just trying to put on a brave face and the acting shows that. You can easily tell with his expression and I think the actor did a fine job, looks on the verge of tears; poor dude.

This is a weird movie but there is so much symbolism in it. Like the comparison between raising/nurturing someone when they need it most just for it to stab you in the back. It's interesting... but still hella weird either way.

I read this movies description a few weeks ago when i was looking for a good horror flick to watch, but because i didn't understand the description I passed on it. Now seeing how to survive it, i totally want to watch it now.

12:34 How about the lady from the Resident Evil Netflix TV series keeping her zombified husband poorly tied up in the bathroom feeding him stray cats. Not to mention she sees absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I fell in love with your voice😂😂😂"sometimes mommy and daddy have grown up friends that they let grope them in the living room "😂😂😂😂lmao

Gotta give that girl some credit, she is really good with emotions. I haven't seen it and haven't heard them speak, but she conveys a lot with facial expressions. Not her fault the movie is goofy as hell lol

We can all agree that the biggest mistake is not watching Nerd explains

What I want to know: if, at the end, the crazy mom had fed her daughter's brain to the bird girl, would it have assimilated her memories and personality? (also would feeding it her heart first have made any difference)

As an owner of 4 budgies, I’d help the crow for sure, but the second it started mutating then it would be fodder for the kamikoto

Just as I was thinking I couldn't like this man and his content anymore than this, I learn that he knows about Deep Rock Galactic??? My god this is really my favourite channel.

I kinda wish the hatchling turned out not to be bad at all, just an offspring dependent on their parent and "demanding" attention and care, and that it was the narcissistic pov of the girls mother, replicated by the girl as thats the only way she would know how to parent, that made it seem like a leaching beast destroying her life. It would just have felt a little bit more...honest? Realistic? But other than that I really like this odd creature feature.^^

I mean the bird has showed her more affection than the rest of her family so i dont blame her that much for wanting to take care of it (? nice video as always

Better title: Short-bus Samus Aran raises Ridley with predictable results.

every episode there is a line that makes me crack up this time " gotta wonder if lil miss minca isn't legit hoping zapdos dosint rip someone's face off''

->Cooks egg. ->Rolls credits.

I mean if feeding it some of my blood turned it into something that can talk literally follow me where ever I go has everything I have but stronger and shares my pain then I wouldn’t mind having one because if you wanted anyone to die you just think of it and the doppelgänger would just kill them it’s like a death note but bird edition.

22:13 I love how creative your insults are

I love the amount of time he gave the bird nicknames

I almost feel like she wanted to have the little bird to be happy when she isn’t

Whenever there’s a zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, or serial killer on the loose, someone reminds me to call this guy

Daughter: gets severe head trauma which causes immediate seizing Mother: Applies more head trauma!

I like your edgy humor, always a good time when Nerd uploads

I love how based you are compared to the other channels who cover similar content.

I don't know why the Zapdos, and Pidgetto joke of all things made me laugh out loud. How to Beat every Pokemon?

Call me a butterfinger, but if I found an egg that keeps ballooning past the 10% mark and glows like a radioactive nugget, I'd probably *accidentally* drop it in the path of an 18-wheeler.

The real horror was the display of "human" behaviour all along

Having this as some unofficial relative to Mustakrakish would be pretty brutal... this does make a good premise for a metal song Nathan would do

In a less toxic environment I wonder if the Creature could've been raised into a decent Twin.

I end up rooting for natural selection when the protagonists eat paint chips

What if the crow like creature, was her alter ego?

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this one!! 🎉🎉❤❤

I love this channel my guy, Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

I’m trying to figure out exactly when he made the switch to be more humorous. The Faculty, Home Alone, Halloween Ends have all been hilarious. On the other hand, Saw and Wrong Turn have been far more straightforward.

Lesson of the day, Nerds: “respect your parents just because they’re your parents” is a load of shit. Having parents like Tinja’s very much warrants calling in Sgt. Garrick and the boys and… Clean House

God damn can I just say the fathers gonna be the most spineless man ever

I’ve been sick and I’ve been bingeing all your vids and I’m so happy to see you just posted so I have something to watch because I finished all your other how to beats 😊

This was awesome man.

Eggburt got me 😂💀

I kow humans are stupid but she makes us look bad and she brings stupidity on a whole another level💀

i actually really enjoyed today's sponsor!!! tysm

Wait, did the monster not leave behind tons of giant egg shards and fluids when it hatched and walked around? How did the dad miss all that?

Those are some. Angry birds.

now thats a monster design! finnaly something iv not seen before, welldone! dont know how good or bad the movie is yet but damn well done on the creature!

if you're child wants a picture book then you hand them some of Junji Ito's works

Could you please do a “how to beat” video on a movie called “attraction” or it’s second part? It has cool alien water benders and giant space ships capable of deep faking , controlling mass media and framing people for domestic terrorism. And it has a cool revolution. I am asking for the sixth time and will continue asking.

I love your videos they makee feel good if something bad broke out

Damn fresh Nerd explains

The random ‘Simple Jack’ reference !!! 🤣 // LOVE your work, Nerd!

The answer is almost always fire. If there is something alien that is clearly not from this world it is known as tinder

Love your videos

Lmao at the deep rock galactic reference I'm hooked on that game

She could have made an enormous omelette with that egg! She missed out :(

Just wanted to say I love your videos my favorite is as above so below

If you ask me if I wanna beat it I'll say no 💀 I think I'll keep it

The turkeys got tired of being put on tables

Bruh I actually thought we were about to go into The Morhpology of Terrence from Angry Birds LMAO

Great vid! That was a freaky little beast. So stupid of the girl to step in the way, but with how the characters behaved it was power for the course.

What happened to the giant egg when the dad came in when the bird left

Anyone else getting Filianore and egg vibes from the girl and the "monster"?

Omg! I just got the video (I didn't realize my nofications were off) imma watch it :]

1:38 This is the time when the Doom music kicked in.

At least this has a more unique premise than Thankskilling.

So if the crow didn't die, it would go on to take care of the egg, and since the bird monster mimics whoever cares for it, wouldn't it just mimic the crow?

this is the movie i will to my kids in order to tell them why u should inform your parents about everything

honestly, I think hatching that bird is a great idea! It is like infinite power, + you can use it to fuck up people and actually have a body clone that you love and loves you back

The Dethklok cameo was unsuspected and delightfu🖤

Have. A. Damn. Good. Day.

My favourite KZfaqr ❤

when @NerdExplains talks about Simo Haïha aka *The White Death* you know that he's cultured

Love this guy

I literally just finished watching this.

keep up the good work

How haven’t you done the Alien series yet? That seems like it’d be high quality content!

When it’s the dead of night why does it look like it’s 6pm evening 😂

Oh, cool. A set of ultra sharp Gucci knives as a gift? My nephew’s gonna love em. Little Micheal just turned 6yo. If he practice he can be a great cook for his older sister he loves so much…

Tina? is that how its spelled? anyways I feel she's the real victim here. She was forced into gymnastics and tried to rescue a evil crow.

"bad bird! go in the time out cage" *sad bird noises* "sigh fine. one more crime just where a disguise this time." *happy chirp*

Fun bit your recommendation for childhood bedtime stories. Apparently a younger me loved the movie Alien when my mom was scared.

i love Nerd Explains

I feel like this video should have been called "How to beat the Narcissistic Mother" I mean really she's the main the cause of all this the hatchling just got caught up in all this crazy

Its father must have been the road runner. That line got me dammit
