The person who thought this up should be investigated lmao

"But Gruner refuses" Gruner: *Literally tossing shit on bro*

I remember when this movie came out and I finally saw it, I was traumatized by the scene of the guy sleeping with the creature 😵‍💫. I wouldn’t have had a problem if the creature was more intelligent and adult (mostly all of us have seen movies with aliens and humans having relationships -> Star Wars,Star Trek). It was the fact of the creature seeming to be so childlike and childish that deeply disturbed me.

"But Gruner refuses" shows gruner throwing a bucket of shit and piss over him

“In the future we will have flying cars” The future:

Imagine the Sea creature King continuously sending armies of sea creatures only to be defeated by two guys with long beards and limited supplies.

"2 guys 1 fish"

These mermaid people sent hundreds of their people fighting to the death in repeated attempts to rescue a single slave. Quite noble of them.

Makes you think how many sailors/ fisherman have gotten delusional after being stranded or at least for me that’s what came to mind.

Anyone else curious how they still have ammo

This is pretty disturbing actually. Excellent writing.

RIP Ray Stevenson, truly did an amazing job in his role in Ahsoka and just a legendary career in general. Just a true shame that we won’t be able see him finish the story of Baylon Skoll.

Isn't it convenient how aliens are ALWAYS sexually compatible with humans in these sci-fi movies. People got a lot of weird fantasies in Hollywood

Homie was really out here clapping some Fussy Edit: Great minds think alike my fellow degenerates

Honestly this would be a badass videogame, a game like The Forest but you have to guard an outpost or lighthouse every night from monsters.

I randomly ran across this on Netflix a while back and frequently think of it. The surreal isolation, and psychological aspects of the plot, I often think back on today. I loved the slow burn tension.

Imagine having safe hours during the day just to play chess in attack hours

No but like humans will literally mate with anything breathing. No wait...they'd even mate with the dead 😭

Nice to see Story Recapped dropping the text-to-speech voice for real narration. Never expected it to happen.

You have to feel for the creature. It makes you understand why aliens in other other movies just kill humans without question. All they wanted is one of theirs. Gruner knew that they well as he knew most of everything on/abt the island but just did not want to give her up. Am just surprised why she didn't find enough energy / strength to kill him b4 even Friend showed up on the island. Ooh wait... That would have ended the movie. My bad.

are we going ignore the fact that Gruner was basically molesting the sea creature?... I mean I know it's a fictional character but it's still vile and disgusting.

For those not knowing, its a Catalan book, called La Pell Freda (The cold skin being the best translation). Aneris, the name he gives to the fish girls, its the catalan way to call mermaids, Sirena, but backwards.

If it weren't for the mermaids this would just be the Lighthouse.

It's a good movie that adapts "The Cold Skin", a novel from 2002. It was made years before "The Lighthouse", but somehow people think it was "inspired" by it.

The island isn't monster plagued unless you count grunner. They were merely wanting their female back because she was part of their species. They likely also understood how badly she was being treated and apparently was their leader or a daughter of their leaders.

"They wanted a truce" then just don't go to the light house, she is literally free half the time

Tbh I’m so glad you guys summarized it cause I would have HATED the ending…. What a sad existence

Adrian Brody clearly didn’t warn Ray Stevens how sexy time with sci-fi creatures ruins careers.

I like how they show how few bullets they have, then they proceed to spend months just popping shots off like there is no limit to their ammo...

They really expect me to feel bad for the fish groomer when he dies

Outstanding recap bud! Outstanding!👏

These two researchers had enough ammunition to start a mini war!!!

As a marine I’m like “how much ammo do they have?!?!?”

"What's for dinner tonight?" "Stuffed fish."

“the naked man doing the stretch as preparation for a long day of doing nothing” LOL 😂

"He tells him that he is not a murderer" after murdering literally hundreds of humanoid beings.

Who else watches these instead of the actual movies?

"He stretches in preparation of a long day of doing Nothing" ☝️That's so fucking hilarious 😂🤣😂😂😂

Not sure why folks are calling this a Hollywood film. It's a French-Spanish film, based on a Spaniard writer's novel. It's not a Hollywood film. Not all films on Earth are Hollywood, folks.

This was a very bizzare film, thanks for the recap.

this man has a weird way of "mastering his own destiny". living in a rock in the middle of the sea killing sea monsters and getting laid with a fish.

I have a feeling that those monster's are Gruner's children😂

Almost 16 minutes long this was… I sure am glad I didn’t suffer watching this long movie. What a relief in knowing!

I want to know how drunk the writers were when they wrote this.

this is so cursed, not only is he having sex with a different specie (which is gross in its own right) but also groomed the fish child to be his slave wife. the dude broke so many ethical rules

I remember reading the book to this and being like ‘wtf’, when the film came out I was like no thank you, 50 shades of fish.

Awesome recap!

the logic of the sea creatures is top notch.. throw endless hordes to get killed, and at the end call for a truce, rather than simply, just stop visiting/attacking the lighthouse. Logic 100. Guess they aren't as "civilized" or intelligent as the dude thought.

Plot twist: everyday the female creature was secretly laying eggs that would grow up to be the creatures attacking them.

Imagine just killing every creature when they’re just answering their lost friends cries for help. She’s saying come get me, this human is nasty. They’d go if you gave her back! She feels indebted but she knows this is some weird and wrong shit. And she was basically RAISED by this man. Weeeeird, that she is basically his daughter, pet and slave and he is fine having a romantic (but seemingly nonconsensual) relationship with all three versions. Humans really piss me off when I see movies like this.

Damn I never saw this Ray Stevenson movie... Will definitely watch.. RIP Ray 🙏🏾

What I really enjoyed about this story was how the Syren's call lured her own people OUT OF the water to die on land, when in myth they lure humans to die in the sea. And it really seemed to me like she was certainly less intelligent, but clearly inhuman in her motives and attitudes. People ascribe all kinds of meaning to her actions throughout the fiom but nobody tries to put themselves in her shoes for real: she's a Syren/Syrena, who according to myth serves a consistent function of luring sailors out of their ships with their songs and beauty. What if her kind does this reflexively on behalf of whoever they're pair bonded to? What if she had no real control over it? So many fascinatinf questions that get drowned out by the, 'Eww, he's a fish-loving sexual criminal!' Obviously he's not all together, but what about HER? Was actually an interesting film to think about from her perspective. Lots of opportunity to reflect.

To be fair this still many times better than the trench of Europe

At this point I don’t even watch movies anymore lol

Yeah. Exactly. That's what we just watched. Love, love and love.

So this is basically Lighthouse with real sea monsters and less crystal meth dream.

"is like a dog" the title of this video just got 10x weirder, we officially on some Omni-Man type shit.

Gruner should have been the strength, haven, light and guide of that place as what a lighthouse represents but did the opposite he became dark while friend brought back peace and serenity to the place.

She could have swam off at literally any point in the movie too.

Plot twist, these sea-creatures are ancient Hollywood rejects with too much cosmetic work

"He sees the man do a naked stretch as to prepare for a long day of doing nothing!" 😄😁😆😅🤣😂😀

“We are never very far from those we hate. For this very reason, we shall never be truly close to those we love.”

Loved this one

Love it. No distracting narrator face, near monotonic tone (similar to the robot one I originally loved but now with a human touch). It sucked that yt demonetized the TTS content but glad that this one comes really close, 100% subscribed here.

This was a depressing one. Poor fish .

The lighthouse keeper is my spirit animal

Seriously... abuse can be of several types...Why it always has to be sexual molestation is beyond me.

I watched this movie, I understand what loneliness can do to a man, just didn't expect such a level of horniness.

"No one leaves Bruner." I think he murdered his wife. And murdered snyone else who tried to leave him.

Those aliens weren’t the bad guys at all, but those men were the evil antagonist of the story.

some questions, if anyone can help answer: 1. is there a reason why they only attack at night if they can move around in the day? 2. I get there's a level of Stockholm syndrome going on with her but why do the creatures keep attacking to get to her if she comes and goes freely, is it that they just want to kill gunner regardless to try to get her to give him up? 3. is she like their queen or mother, cuz they said gunner found her and raised her so not sure how important she could be to them that so many would sacrifice themselves for her when she comes and goes freely? ...........well thanks to anyone who could help answer.

I would call it Lighthouse meets Shape of Water, but it seems more like just "Lighthouse plus 20% more fish rape ".

I’ve seen this movie on other recaps … and literally nobody mention that pervert was smashing that seal lady

If aliens were real, there’s no way we could procreate with them😂 we can’t procreate with out closest DNA neighbour, the chimp

Thanks for giving the name of the movie 🙏

This man is smart at marketing, he makes the title as sexual as possible to get more views, wise thinking 😂😂😂

This channel is like the Bed time story we didn't know we still need.

These are some seriously demented stories

They Had Us In the First Half, not gonna lie🤣

"Thrusting" I've could've lived my whole life not hearing the one sentence. 🙃

That was the best movie recapp yet. Great video.

Lovecraftian vibe in this one. Loved it.

I'm honestly believing that this was how Aquaman was created. Gruner is his true pappy

"Every hole's a goal" -Gruner

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE" I can't wait to see this movie!!!!

Man this feel like a prequel to a book i have read a few years ago where people are sent to explore a land where strange stuff happen and found a light house, strange stones and remaining a of a big fight.

Im confused why he isn not scared to fight using fire on his own but gets scared at the light house

friend taking off his shirt, gruner watching. this movie just got wild lmaoo

So is this the male version of "the shape of water" XD

The way the Sea Creature was rubbing Gruner😂😂

What we can gather, is that these sea creatures were simply aiming to reclaim and avenge the pain of Aneris. They are capable of rational thought; and as Friend began to show kindness to the Toads, they begun to return in kind with lessening attacks. Gruner seemed to have been trapped and never shared in the curious compassion for the toads. He saved one and was subjected to persistent attacks. Finding his only solace in the toad female's company. He did not want to be left alone; as humans are not made to be isolated without another. Before Friend came along; he had nobody to speak or depend on. So his anger, loneliness, and fading memories would consume him. Friend taking over Gruner's position opens new light. He retained compassion, love, and humanity to see the pain and problem before him. He wanted to uphold his duties, and fought purely to survive. But he wanted to see what exactly they desired; and with it begun to discover that these monsters were simply seeking to rescue their own. When Friend created the peace offering; and tried to treat Aneris with respect. He opened the door to a new unity; and revealed the true monster that was Gruner. the man that nigh lost all humanity and sense of self. The island's isolation had created a monster and with what brief clarity; he submitted himself to his punishment. Friend, becoming the new Gruner did not lose his compassion. He upheld his true duties as the Lighthouse Watch. Where the monsters would cease their attacks; and the return of Aneris to the sea was the wrong made right.

No one seems to be concerned about a human mating with unknown creatures 🤮

I read the book, but I never know they're made a movie out of it.❤

this is the shape of water reverse 😅

I like how every movie in the world is about mating

It’s adorable how she tries to eat the candle 🥺

Nah bro the zora goin crazy

Good film 👍

I've seen this movie a couple of times. I wouldn't call being seggxually abused as "mating".

It's the cycle of life. Man meets Fish girl - Man plows Fish girl - Fish girl gets knocked up - Fish girl lays eggs in the sea - eggs hatch and quickly grow to Fish son - Fish sons gets teenage angst - Fish sons wants to confront deadbeat dad - Dad does not see family resemblance and shoots the b@stards - Dad starts feeling horny. Then the cycle begins again......
