@karinturkington2455 it's a phenomenal movie. I hope you love it!

@camillejohnson7035 thanks for sharing! I've watched thousands of movies in my life and this was on my list for a while and it did not resonate with me whatsoever. I know a lot of people really love it though! I will probably wait a few years before I revisit it.

I think your perception is very narrow. This movie is nothing like Funny Games. Haneke in that film is restricting the audience from indulging in violence on screen and poses the question why do we as a society have such a fascinating with violence. He only showcases the brutality that must be shown in order to get his point across. This movie is an hour and a half of racists being racist. The movie doesn't have any other interesting commentary other than "racism is bad". Not saying you can't make a movie solely commentating on the horrors of racism, but this movie provides nothing outside of talking points and racist remarks we see in elements of day to day life. This film provides nothing more. So I suppose if you want a film that is just blunt with nothing more thoughtful to provide, I suppose this works.

@@natesfilmreviews I think YOUR perception is narrow but thats ok - were all different. ;) I belive this movie says a lot about racism - I do not - at all - think this movie "provides nothing at all". Its artistic, well acted, and stays with you a long while after the credits roll, wich is more than you can say about your averege popcorn feelgood, everything solved conveniently the end-type of film you normally gets served.

@Hauerization I'm curious as to what you think it provides that is deeper than just "racism is bad." The movie exists only to provoke anger and not thought. There is nothing deeper to unravel. It exists solely to pull a visceral immediate reaction and then just continues that reaction for 90 minutes. It just simply shows that evil exists and you don't need 90 minutes to explore that simple idea.

@@natesfilmreviews Just the unusual type of film brings something new to the table - I have honestly never seen anything like it. From an artistic standpoint alone, its worth a watch, let alone what you take away from it. The creepy, depressing end goal is not what makes the movie - its the journey there.

It's definitely a lot of fun. I think you would enjoy it!

I'm a huge fan of both House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. Ti West does an amazing job capturing very specific eras in horror. This one was super campy. Felt a lot like a De Palma movie. I still havent seen The Sacrament. I need to check it out!

Thanks so much for watching!

I thought the premise was really solid, but the execution was lazy. Also the performances were pretty bad. Which is unfortunate because there was a lot of solid talent involved!

I really loved the idea of the movie, but as far as the exposition it was way too much. Especially when she first arrived. You can make out so much of what's going on through the visuals. The performances were all pretty stiff as well. None of the characters were all that interesting. The twist I saw coming from a mile away. It's a bummer because I thought the fae lore was really cool!

I actually bought it from Joann Fabrics. They have a pretty large selection and I just loved the color! Reminded me of retro movie theaters.

@@RichReviews2 just saw the Watchers and it was terrible. Not a fan at all!

It was a huge bummer unfortunately. I just added it to my watchlist. It sounds like something I will really like!

It's one of my favorites as well!

It's such a fun series!

It's funny because I used to be a really big TV person. Over the past few years, especially with doing online reviews, so much of my time has been dedicated to movies that if I watch TV it's normally a mini series. But I'm always down to try out new TV if it's well reviewed. Some of my favorite TV shows are Twin Peaks Hannibal Dexter Atlanta Mindhunter Sons of Anarchy What We Do In the Shadows Joe Pera Talks With You King of the Hill (My comfort show) I also love a lot of Mini Series. Pretty much anything Mike Flanagan has released. The show Channel Zero was excellent. The Queens Gambit with Anya Taylor Joy is one of my favorite things I've watched in years.

So much of the movie was completely nonsensical that doesn't surprise me at all haha.

@natesfilmreviews I actually ended up feeling vaguely entertained at the end even if it was fairy predictable. 🙂

@@adamsky77 the book was written by an Irish author too lol but in the book she was going to someone’s house who wanted to buy the bird. Still doesn’t make a ton of sense

@ponyboygarfunkel1675 I can very much agree with that sentiment. It can be hard especially in current times to be very much of an optimist about the day to day.

@@natesfilmreviews It can help me to look to the life of the house-cat for inspiration. They really roll with the punches.

I completely agree! One of my favorite things I watched the past few years!

It was so much fun!

I agree with you. I don't think with another actor it would have been anywhere near as compelling. I really liked it!

@@natesfilmreviews Exactly, its a script only Dafoe could have pulled off. Here’s the way I look at it: This movie went really under the radar but the reviews I saw seemed kind of “love it or hate it”, but the one thing that was consistent was that there was a buildup to a twist without an actual twist. But, it seemed like that was kind of what they were going for- the twist was that there is no twist. Definitely could have been executed better but I see what they were trying to do, theres so many ways to look at the themes of this movie but they are trying to say in a desperate or existential situation we often look for a deeper meaning or another way to look at things rather than facing them for what they are. Someone who reviewed this film mentioned that it would be really interesting as a live/broadway type performance, I think it could really be interesting in that format, or at least something that takes inspiration from this film and brings it to the stage. Definitely check out Trapped (2016) with Rajkumar Rao when you are able, it has a lot in common with this film and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s where Inside’s director got a lot of his ideas.

@@jamesliebone Very interesting. I like that idea as a stage show. It would be fascinating to watch. I will have to check that movie out!

@@natesfilmreviews I think you’ll like it. It also kind of reminds me of Life of Pi in a way, there is some kind of social commentary about Indian culture layered in both of those films, I can feel that its there but at the same time not being from that culture its hard to know exactly what they are trying to say lol. It seems to be saying that when things get truly desperate everyone is ultimately on their own

That is so cool. I love hearing those stories. June just seems like such a wonderful person and I love watching her act.

I was thinking about that exact thing as I was watching the movie. Need to rewatch it again soon!

I was blown away that it was their first movie. I can't remember the last time a movie made me cry so much. Totally agree it is beautiful.

I think season 3s idea is exactly what Carmy said in the season. It was all about trimming the fat and simplifying the show. I actually enjoyed how much character building existed with such minimal dialogue. It also seemed to be a love letter to the service industry which is something I can really appreciate.

It's a very fun series!

Hope you like it!

@gboni66 I'm sure some people can feel that way and you can believe whatever you want, but as someone who grew up in the church and was raised by a minister the entirety of conservative ideology is rooted in Christian ideals and only exist because of the faith. I was heavily involved with the church into my early 20s and I can assure you if religion didn't exist neither would conservatism.

@@natesfilmreviews while i agree that religion does play a key role in melding a worldview that attempts to preserve tradition, preservation of tradition isn’t reliant on religion. As someone who was raised in the faith as well, i can say that they’re all kinds of sociopolitical beliefs among its members. I won’t invalidate your experience in it, but it seems like we might have experienced church in two completely different areas. Not everyone who goes to church is conservative let alone inclined to lean politically right. And several tenets of a right leaning perspective have nothing to do with religion.

It was such a bummer.

Beautiful movie. I'm always wanting to rewatch it!

I got it at their tour!

I 100 percent would!
