WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #1: “Devil” 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.400 Hey there, folks. It is Friday, October thirty Firth Halloween. 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:16.480 We made it to the top of our list. Are 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.960 number one on our horror hit list of movies we 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.680 love that maybe you don't know about. And this one, 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.080 number one on our list comes to us from none 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:33.919 other than M Night Shamalan, but you probably never heard 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.559 of it. And with that, welcome to this episode of 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.360 Amy and TJ. Deep Cuts, wrapping it up with a 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.559 number one here. Everybody thinks they know every M. Night 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.159 Shamalan movie for the most part, don't they. 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.879 That's right. But when you say this word, or at 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.840 least it's a one word title, a lot of folks 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.760 will say, huh, what never saw that one? 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.800 If you even give people an opportunity to start naming 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.760 his movies, how long before they come up with this one? 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.400 I think it would be a while. If ever so. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.479 The movie our number one movie on our Halloween Horror 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:17.240 hit list is Devil from twoenty ten. People are going, huh, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.600 it's just an hour twenty minutes and oh my goodness, 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.600 it's rated PG thirteen. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.600 I don't know what to say, folks. I I yes, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.000 I very early in the countdown, I railed against PG 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.000 thirteen horror movies. I just I usually just don't watch them. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:34.600 I don't stop. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.880 Two in our top five and three in the top 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.800 ten are PG thirteen two. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.319 I mean, so I got an egg on my face. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.839 I completely in real time. That just went out the window. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.480 But this is a PG thirteen thriller. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.840 Yes, that is pretty much what it is. It is 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.440 a we have gone like, can we be fully honest 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.680 here and talk about our We have gone back and 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.120 forth because when we started making this list, we hadn't 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.920 looked at any of the critical reviews. We didn't consider 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.920 any of that when we made this list, and we 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.080 came up with our top five pretty quickly, and we 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:17.160 agreed on our number one without any debate. Then when 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:22.079 we started to research the movies, we actually question whether 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.040 or not we should move this from the number one spot. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.280 Because it wasn't that well reviewed. People didn't know a 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.560 whole lot about it, and it just seemed to be 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.440 a dud of an m Night Shyamalan movie. No, no, no, no, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:35.960 we're standing by it. I asked you. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.080 You said nope, Because when we came up with this 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.200 list just based on our feelings and our reactions to 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.120 movies that we watch a lot of. We felt like 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.680 both of us this was the number one movie. We 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.000 have questioned that now that we've read what other people 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.080 think of this movie, so you know, but we're gonna 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.480 stand by what our original decision was, which was to 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:03.000 make Devil number one. Even my oldest Eva, who loves 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.320 horror movies, when she found out what our number one was, 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.800 she said, really. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.800 Hey, it was before it's time. Okay, this is a 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.000 wonderful little film, and we will explain why it's so wonderful. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.440 And one more tease here. The whole thing takes place 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.360 in an elevator. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.400 Yes, there's very little other action. I mean, they do 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.480 have some scenes they cut back and forth from, but 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.000 mostly all the horror is happening in an elevator. So 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.440 here's the synopsis. Five Strangers Day begins with an elevator 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.000 ride in a Philadelphia office tower, but what happens next 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.400 is anything but ordinary. The elevator gets stuck, and the 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.160 trapped passengers, who expected to be together for just a 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.400 few minutes, now face the revelation of their secrets and transgressions. 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.760 Frightening events turn annoyance into terror as they begin to 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.560 realize that one of their number is Lucifer himself. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.680 Wow. They I appreciate that they that that was the 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.920 snap they gave that out. So that is what we're 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.680 dealing with. How many in the elevator was five? 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.520 There was five strangers? Yes, and I you know, a 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.440 lot of the complaints that I saw from folks and 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.520 critics was that there wasn't enough character development. But I 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.720 actually really was invested in who which one was the devil, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.839 what their past transgressions were that got them in this elevator, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.080 because you realized that they were all there by design. 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.960 Character development is what they had issue with. Yeah, I'm 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.039 reacted to everybody, so did I. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.039 And look the box office. It did better than I thought, 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.279 sixty two point six million internationally. But M Night Shyamalan 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:38.960 has a draw. When you see his name attached to 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.000 a movie, a lot of folks will go check it 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.000 out just because it's M Night Shyamalan and the cast 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.880 Chris Messina, you know his face, you might not know 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.520 his name. He was in Boogeyman, most recently a Big 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.080 Lawn Order guy. He was an argo. Ben Affleck loves 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.680 to put him in his movies and then Jenny O'Hara 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.120 is also in the elevator. Again, these are folks. When 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.120 you see their faces, you know them. You just don't 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.599 necessarily know their names. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.160 You know, there's an act. I never knew his name 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:13.200 for sure, Bokeem would bind. Okay, he you will immediately 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.680 recognize him. He was being in a lot of black movies, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:22.720 frankly Jason's lyric Dead Presidents, and he played in Life 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.400 with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. He has been all 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:26.960 over the place. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.440 Another really familiar face. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.280 Oh you knew him as soon as you saw his face. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:31.920 Yes, security guard. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.120 Oh yeah, he was great. But you had an emotional 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.080 reaction to him. The old lady I had a reaction to, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.880 the young girl was annoying to me. And the guy 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.400 in the suit, like everybody in there. In a very 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.120 short amount of time. As far as character development goes, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.320 you get them. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.880 You have a feeling towards them, Yes, immediately, and it's visceral. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.120 So I yes, I disagree with that. Produced and written 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.440 by M Mike Shamalan. The director was John Eric Dowdell. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.080 But get this. The Rotten Tomatoes score there are forty 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.760 nine percent. Wow, I haven't seen it from the critics, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.560 and the audience score is even lower at forty three percent. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.039 Come on, folks, we got to get these numbers. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.400 Up all right now. The critics consensus actually was pretty 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.440 good when you consider what that Rotten Tomato score just was. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.840 It's better than many of the other films M Night 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.360 Shyamalan has been associated with. But Devil never gets more 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.599 than a few low budget thrills out of its fingdishly 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:28.839 promising premise. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.880 It is a promising premise. I am never going to 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.960 say I wish they had done this or wish they 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.279 had done that. I can maybe understand why someone might 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.719 say that, but this thing works still perfectly to me. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.520 I actually loved the fact that it was low budget 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.040 in the sense that there weren't huge special effects. There 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.640 wasn't some big dramatic action scene. This actually the tension 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:57.039 and the fear and the horror slowly and creepily develops 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.039 in a way that I thought was so good. The 0:06:59.080 --> 0:06:59.760 subtlety of it. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:05.320 It so brilliant tension throughout. I mean, you start with that, right, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.120 just start with it was what was the other movie? 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:11.240 I said, just by the fact just the setup itself, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.400 the scent, Yes, in the cave like this, just the 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.680 scenario adds or the terror. What don't we every time 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.600 we go in an elevator, don't we fear two things? 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.800 One it getting stuck, two getting stuck with a couple 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.480 of assholes in. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.400 Here or the devil. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.120 Well, they usually don't have to worry about that, but 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.520 it does. It plays on those fears. Even if the 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.000 elevator doesn't get stuck, you worry about who might get 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.280 on with you. And it is even that for me 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:36.280 set a stage. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.680 And maybe because we live in New York and we're 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.320 in elevators every single day of our lives, it struck 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.840 a higher horror level for us because think about it, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.680 maybe a lot of people who live in suburbia or 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.520 whatever don't ever or rarely get into an elevator if 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.040 maybe they're in a hotel or a high rise. But 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.640 some people probably aren't in elevators very often. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.040 Well, it is a horrible sceni we have to face 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.520 and make decisions about every single day of exactly. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.680 So, yes, we are very hyper aware of elevator issues. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.760 Some critic reviews here for you, and I did find 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.320 some good ones that I put in here, and I 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.480 did put a bad one in as well. If most 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.760 of Shyamalan's films take a long time to get laughable punchlines, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.559 Devil is quite the opposite, rushing headlong through all manner 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.840 of crazy plot points and red herring characters, an ideal 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.200 streaming time passer, short and packed with twists. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.440 That's a good one. That's a good way to put it. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.280 We're not trying to say this should have been nominated 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.360 for an Oscar. We're trying to say this is an intelligent, tense, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.160 feel little nugget of a film. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.480 Yes, here's another one. A taut, expert and engrossing thriller 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.080 with a sense of visual restraint that is refreshing in 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.280 this age of a borrent overexposure. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.920 You know what, and m Nighthemalan has done some creative 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.440 things with cinematography before, this ain't one of them. Ye, 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.520 he was confined in an area in putting this film together. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.400 I didn't think about it that way. That's a good so. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.600 I actually love yes, what some of these critics said, 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.720 because it made they articulated why we loved it better 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.920 than I could. Here's another one. The dialogue is terse 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.600 and convincing given the premise and doubtell who's the director, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.160 ratchets up the suspense with economical efficiency. The final twist, 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.800 while a stretch, is highly satisfying. 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.880 It is you're like, okay, okay, they got me kind 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.360 of a thing. Would you still like it? Yes? 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.080 Yes, And I would urge anybody who hasn't seen this 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.080 don't google it because pretty quickly they give it away. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.720 It's really annoying. And my Shamalan's twists are the best 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.280 part about his movie. So please, please, please, if you 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.880 haven't heard of this movie, if you haven't read anything 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.560 about it, don't do it. Now. Watch the movie first. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.800 Okay, we should. We will make sure we should put 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.000 that in the description of this episode that do not 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.560 look this film up. For this thing to work, you 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.000 have to go into it not knowing how it's going 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:54.280 to end. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.840 Yes, if you already know the final twist, it's okay. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.080 Obviously we've rewatched this movie multiple times, so we love it. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.640 But it's so much better if you don't know the twist. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:09.800 Here's a negative review. Devil features nothing new, exciting, or suspenseful. Instead, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.119 it gives us shallow, we developed characters and an ultimately 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.160 forgettable story. 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.720 Couldn't disagree more, Okay, fine, shallow we developed it's five 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.360 people who have an hour and twenty minutes. Yes, you 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.120 can't go to everybody's. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.160 I thought it was really cool how we learned about 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.400 how each of those people, each of those characters ends 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.840 up in the elevator, because you'll learn this isn't giving 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.920 away too much that they were chosen. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.680 Yeah, by the devil. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.640 Here's some audience reviews, one of the best. And by 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.520 the way, even though the audience review scores were lower 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.400 than the critics review, I found so many more positive reviews, 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.520 and a lot of them recent. So this was out 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.679 in twenty ten. What I love about Rotten Tomatoes is 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.280 that obviously people watch it streaming or they purchase it, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.160 and then they put new reviews in which are I 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.240 think viewed through the lens of perhaps the perspective that 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.120 when you initially saw the movie you might not have. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.360 So I think some of them are really interesting. One 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.600 of the best stories of m Night, A little bit 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.000 like Stephen King's style, low budget but very intriguing. Only 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.839 the ending could be different, in my honest opinion, very 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.880 good anyway, I but I the ending was perfect. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.880 Still, the whole thing was intriguing. That was a mystery 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.839 in there that I love it, guessing couldn't figure it out. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.400 Help. Here's another one. A total underrated movie. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:29.760 Yep. 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.920 Great cast, amazing soundtrack, and wonderful direction make this a 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:34.760 must see. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:35.040 Yep. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.200 Don't believe the ratings. Just watch it and decide for yourself. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.640 You will thank me later. We could have written that. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.280 Here's another one. This movie is severely underrated. It has 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.240 pretty decent acting, a good plot, lots of love and care, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.200 and a very good twist ending with many good kills 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.000 and jump scares. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.920 Yeah there's no bad acting as well. Yeah, there's no 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:55.880 bad acting in this movie. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.640 Agreed. Okay, here's an fun another good one. It's fun, 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.839 honestly a fun movie, very nice idea, and even though 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.560 it could have been developed more, it makes for a 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:08.400 cute thriller. The ending is isn't the poetic justice we expect, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.480 but a more realistic take on forgiveness and moving forward. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.880 There were larger themes. Am I is pretty good with that. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.560 Yes you have horror, Yes you have thrills in a twist, 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.640 but he usually does have heart and a reason for 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.000 why he's writing this story and selling it. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.640 And you do have a moment that you do stop 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.239 and think and reflect. There is a moment that they 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.040 built into the again, the bigger moral It does have 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:32.839 a bigger moral thing. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.840 Yeah, and I liked that because there was real storytelling involved. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.360 Sometimes horror movies are just slashers. This isn't about the kills. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.600 This is about the story, and that's what I think 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.360 one of the reasons why we loved it. Now here's 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.680 a bad review from an audience member. Devil has to 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.120 be one of the most stupidest, which I thought was 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.680 ironic that that was the phrase used. Devil has to 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.080 be one of the most stupidest but funniest movies I've 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.720 ever watched. The movie tries so hard to be scary, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.720 but it ends up being too funny. And there are 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.240 also so too many characters throughout which aren't that interest 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.280 interesting and they are pretty pointless characters. Overall, Devil is 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.080 a movie that tries too hard to be scary but 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.200 ends up being hilariously stupid. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.640 Okay, it's it's okay, fine if you have that opinion, 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.240 but if going into it, I just heads up, homie, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.720 it's PG. Thirteen. It's trying to be scary, No it's not. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.720 If it were, it was, it would be a great 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.640 r It's not trying to be scary. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.280 It's such a good point. You have to go into 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.240 it with the right mindset. All right. When we come back, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.280 we're gonna talk about why this is our number one, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.000 not just that it made our list, but why we 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.600 chose this movie to be number one, Who it's for, 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.640 who it's not for, what to pair it with, and 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:52.839 where to watch it. Continuing now with our number one 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.520 movie on our Halloween Horror hit list, we have been 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:00.600 counting down all month long to our number one movie, Devil. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.959 Why was this your number one movie? 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.600 Babe? It was a surprise. It was a surprising film 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.200 when I first saw it and then left an impression. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.720 I don't know what my expectations were going into it, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.480 but generally speaking, I mean, I respect m Night Sheemalan, 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.439 but I'm not running to see an Night Shremalan movie. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.440 Usually signs I loved Village, I get and it all 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.920 of his movies. I've appreciate it, but I'm not some 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.800 hardcore m Night fan, and so seeing this one, I 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.440 this made me a big time m Night Cemalan fan. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.200 I don't think I saw it when it first first 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.320 came out. I think I was a couple of years late, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.800 but I think this turned the corner for me as 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.440 for M Night C. Shemalan, because it's just these are 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.640 the types of things when you consider a scenario and 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.280 you can't figure it out, like, how are they going 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.840 to reveal this thing? There are five characters, somebody is 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.800 in control of this thing, how are we going to 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.520 figure it out? And then members start falling off into 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.960 still you can't figure it out. I love that kind 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:02.360 of stuff. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.720 I agree this. I remembered this movie because of how 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:11.320 it made me feel. I was absolutely in a movie 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.200 that had very little action, on the edge of my 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.360 seat trying to figure out where the evil was coming 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.360 from and not being able to do so. I appreciated 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.320 that so much. I have been an M Night fan. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.240 I love the sixth Sense, I love the Village, I 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.760 love Signs, all of those movies. The visit, I will 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.440 go out and see M Night. Oh well, yeah, that 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.280 was the most disappointing of them all. But I will 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.040 go out to see an M Night movie if I 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.080 see it's in the theaters, I will go. They're not 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:40.640 all great. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.960 We went to that one we saw trap and everything 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.840 that happened in that arena. It was classic m night. 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.800 We were on the edge of ours so good. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.800 The first half of it was amazing. I do think 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.880 that's where oftentimes his stories sometimes fall apart, is the 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.640 twist isn't that grade or it's kind of an annoying twist, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.320 Like I remember in Signs it was that the aliens 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.480 couldn't turn a doorknob and water destroyed them. I'm like, really, 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.480 they're going to go to a planet that's three quarters 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.120 water when that's their kryptonite. Anyway, I've had issues with 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.000 even movies that I like about his twist. This twist 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.160 was awesome, and I think I loved this twist the 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.160 most out of any twist I've seen, or at least 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.640 it got me. And I always just think this is 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.080 a fun movie to watch and to introduce to people. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.080 I think that's it. This was a twist maybe that 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.320 I like. I didn't mind the twists and Signs about 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.040 the water and the can't turn a doorknob and all that. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.000 I mean, you had a problem with that, but you 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.600 do realize that aliens were coming and making crop circles. Yes, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.080 that part you had no problem with it. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.880 They were communicating to the mother ships. That made total 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.280 sense to me, but no I do. And so this 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.760 movie is fun because I have recommended this movie. I 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.400 don't know if you have to to folks who have 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.520 never seen an m Night movie, who don't really like 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.840 horror movies. I just think this has a universal appeal 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.520 because again, it's more of a thriller. It's still a 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.880 horror movie for sure. You've got supernatural, you've got deaths, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.760 you've got mystery entury, but there's a thriller element to this. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.560 Like even my parents that don't like horror movies, they 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.320 love this movie. It's that good. So who was it for? 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.080 It's for everyone. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.440 Wouldn't you say, there's no one. I wouldn't recommend this 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.200 movie to hardcore horror movie fans. There's something there for you. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.399 If you hate horror movies, there's something in here for you. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.800 I just I can't even give my heads up to 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.520 people who don't like blood and gore. And it's not 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.120 going to be a problem. Anybody can watch this movie 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:32.720 and it's PG. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:37.359 Thirteen, So it's fun for the whole family. Who is 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.800 it not for? I guess anyone who's going to be 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.960 critical and go into it with some sort of expectation 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.720 that it has to be this, that and the other, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.400 and really other than that, I can't I can't imagine. 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.919 I was shocked reading people's reaction to it, saying it 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.560 was stupid. I just didn't think it was stupid at all. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:56.679 I thought it was super smart. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.520 Of course, to pull that off is in the writing. Yeah, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.040 I appreciate a good story, but yeah, some people. I 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.800 think some people are going to have to take issue 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.000 with this or go what or I didn't see that, 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.159 or I don't know. People to be critical, it's what 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:10.600 people do. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.920 It's fine, that's fine, it's fine, that's okay. We stand 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.640 by our number one and in terms of I love 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.680 this about the movie, to food, drink, and how to 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.160 watch it, where to watch it. You can watch this alone, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.360 You can watch this in the day or at night. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.040 To me, this can be watched anywhere, anytime, with anyone 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:26.640 or no one. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.320 Yes, and then again we always note this, but it 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.480 can be watched in the day for a reason because 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.359 it happens in a lit elevator the whole movie, so 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.919 you can see without the glare of the sun if 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:37.359 you're watching. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.280 Yes, and so in terms of what to pair with, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.280 you know what, go lean in hard with the devil theme. 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.040 You know, it's Halloween, so just like be all in 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.760 deviled eggs, red velvet cake, fireball shots. Those are my suggestions. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:55.040 Jesus crime Ay, well, at my party, we're gonna serve 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.760 healthy snacks. No, I don't know. 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.520 It might be a hell of a morning the next 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.760 day after your deviled eggs, red velvet cake and fireball shots. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.600 I didn't even think about that. But you know, it's 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.679 a hell of a good time enjoying the movie, so 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:09.400 have fun. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.480 Where do you find this didn't we have a hard time. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.320 We could not find it, and so we went ahead 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.479 and purchased it on Apple TV. I think Fandango at 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.960 Home you can also purchase it. So for me, this 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.720 one was so good that this is when we'll go 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.800 back to. We've gone back to enough times so we 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.960 didn't even want to wait. Look, it's great when you 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.200 can get it on Netflix or something that most people 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.679 have a streaming service. But I think this one costs. 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.520 You can run it for three ninety nine or you 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.320 can buy it for fourteen ninety nine, which we chose 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:40.520 to purchase it you. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.840 Use the word cute earlier in somebody's review. I think 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.600 that's a it's a weird I've never thought about it 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.040 that way. This is a cute little movie. This is 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:54.280 a cute little packaged film for you to like. It's 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.320
