I'm really glad I've finally gotten around to talking about this one. I'm away on vacation until the end of the month and I'll have my work cut out for me when I get back with a few really interesting horror movies out over the next little while.

Got to give you credit. Your analysis is insightful and intelligent. It's not that "Bro, that was like awesome, but that suuucked" shit of so many movie "reviewers" on youtube. Beside that you're also witty and likeable. 👌Hope your channel takes off, you deserve more views.

Ah man, It Follows was really good. Only seen it once but I'm not forgetting it anytime soon. Smile looks a lot better than I thought it would. That soundtrack seems really unique

Love It Follows. Except for the pool scene but everything else is very on point.

Loved the marketing for this. The studio sent actors wearing Smile t-shirts out to big public /televised events (e.g., baseball games, etc.), and they would get into any camera shot they could and just stand there in the background, smiling creepily. It was absolute genius!

I don't know whether to hate or love KZfaq algorithm. On one hand it brought your video to my TV screen (I was busy cooking dinner), on the other hand I was shocked to see the view and follower numbers which should've been far far higher. The production quality is off the roof for a small channel and your videos are rich in content and actually contain your own takes and analyses instead of just rambling through the plot and calling it "ending explanation". From one horror flicks lover to another I really appreciate your work! What can we do to boost your channel aside from liking and subscribing? PS: an unsolicited advice, maybe do some Asian horror too. It's a road less travelled for the western audience. If you enjoy slow burners like Hereditary, you'll LOVE The Wailing (South Korea).

Thank you providing analysis throughout and not just doing what so many other horror KZfaqrs do which is 10 mins of recapping the ENTIRE PLOT and 2 mins of interpretation. Love your channel!

This was genuinely the scariest movie I watched in theaters upon rewatch and I honestly don’t think that. The ending was messed up but like what am I watching.

I loved this movie and I saw it with my mom and I still do like it but I hated the ending *SPOILERS* the monster at the end was to much for me and it really lost me and it brought down the whole movie for me I also was lost a couple times when the therapist isn’t real and stuff but I do really like it despite some issues with it ( I haven’t seen it follows but I plan to tonight)

Your channel rocks! Seriously great production value, satisfying blend of commentary and recap, informative insights that belie a clear appreciation for cinema, a great ear for score, and perfect length of videos. Your jokes are funny too and just the right amount of humor here and there. Never be afraid to tell it exactly like you see it even if that goes against the grain and makes you feel like you’re being contrarian. Just say what you think. Being genuine is incredibly important for a content creator doing film analysis. I appreciated your Blumhouse Exorcist review for this reason. That was a seriously great analysis and a tough video to nail like you did. I liked how you gave a small disclaimer that you were going to focus a bit more on the positive aspects for that movie and thought you made some good points. And you don’t annoyingly say anywho and hoyever ten times per video like certain other horror channels I watch lol. I would love to see you analyze Infinity Pool! I love high concept psychological horror and think you would make a great video! Good luck in the future I’m excited to see you grow 🫡✌️

I don’t think I’d use It Follows as an example for characters. I mean tell me something about Yara. Or Kelly besides she’s Jays sister. Or even Paul besides he wants Jay. They all seem to just live in each others lives rather than interact. They don’t really bring a lot to the table, and if any one of them died or left the group, I don’t think anyone would have strong feelings about it

@RocklinGraves 4 күн бұрын
It’s not so much that they’re super fleshed out characters, but it’s more that I’ve always found their dynamic to be really engaging. It doesn’t feel forced or over explained, it just genuinely feels like a group of people who’ve known each other for a long time and are very comfortable around one enough. I find the relationships super believable, and I do genuinely care about all of them

@@RocklinGraves to me they feel very much like a movie relationship. It’s better if you don’t question it. There isn’t anything in that shows an actual connection between them, they are just there because they are about the same age and the story wants them there. Thanks for the reply, I guess you can feel connected to something and it works for you. I just feel differently about the friends in It Follows to the point where it always bothered me a little about the movie. Probably have to agree to disagree. Love your videos

I think that her terrible advice to patients sets her up for the end. She is saying what you’re experiencing isn’t real and can’t hurt you which is not how therapists should act. They should be nonjudgmental. My point being she is telling them their experiences aren’t that bad or real and in the end she wants others to believe what she is experiencing is real. This would cause others to think she is hallucinating or experiencing psychosis, which is her view of her patients in the beginning. They wanted someone to know what they were experiencing was very real and she is in the same position in the end of the movie. Great film though!

The first 10 minutes of this movie would have been a PHENOMENAL short film by itself. Honestly wish it ended there, big horror fan but I think most of the genre is done poorly. I was presently surprised by Smile!

Maybe I’m a little jaded with this cold take but I can’t stand movies anymore where all of the tension lies in no one believing the main character. I saw almost all of the hallucinations coming especially with the therapist. I liked a lot of things about this movie but it fell very flat for me with all of the tropes it used.

I honestly hate when directors try to subvert expectation these days. A lot of it is motivated by trying to make it so audiences cant predict the ending rather than good storytelling. Like it can be done really well, but in this case and of course GoT its just done terribly
