WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List # 5 “The Descent”

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, everybody. It is Monday, October twenty seventh. We

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>have made it to our Top five and our horror

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>movie hit lists, the top five movies that we love

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that we think maybe a lot of people have not

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>heard of. And number five on our list is not

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>for you if you are claustrophobic with that. Welcome to

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and TJ. Roobes. This was one

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>where I knew you were.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Realin when we discussed our shared love of this film.

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we knew we had a kindred spirit. At least.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 2>It was actually towards the beginning of our friendship that

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>we both realized that we loved The Descent.

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a fantastic movie. I think a lot of

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>people do. This isn't too much of an underground It's

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a cult.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I see what we did there.

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Now what it's a It's not really this is a

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>This is a mainstream hit, isn't it.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it is now.

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I think now that we have streaming services and you

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 2>can watch movies that maybe fell under the radar before.

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>This wasn't a movie that I knew of anyone going

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>to the theaters to go see. But I actually believe this

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>was the summer of two thousand and six. I'm trying

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>to think if I how I saw this either on

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a DVD or what.

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Were you doing in two thousand and six? Two thousand and.

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Six, I was given I was giving birth to Annalise,

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 3>is what I was doing.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I was moving to Atlanta.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 3>So that's so funny.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow, so wow. Anyway, summer of two thousand and six, folks,

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>is when The Descent, our number five movie came out.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>The Descent, Yes, it's an hour and thirty nine minutes long,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>rated R. It has classified these ways horror, mystery, and thriller,

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>adventure adventure, that is for sure.

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>So here is the synopsis for The Dissent. A year

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>after a severe emotional trauma, Sarah goes to North Carolina

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to spend some time exploring caves with her friends. After

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:15.239
<v Speaker 2>descending underground, the women find strange cave paintings and evidence

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>of an earlier expedition. They then learn they are not

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>alone underground predators inhabit the crevasses, and they have a

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>taste for human flesh.

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>It actually did really well in the box office.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Did I didn't remember it having a box office run.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think I literally was on maternity leave when

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>this was out, so I'm thinking that somehow maybe I

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 2>got to see it as soon as it hit a

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>streaming service. Back then I had some time on my hands,

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>so I remember watching it by myself, perhaps a middle

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>of the night feeding. But it made twenty six million domestically,

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty one internationally, so fifty seven million total.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 3>That's great with the budget less than ten million.

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's a good looking movie. You just said

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>you watched it alone. That is not something we're going

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to be recommending. This cast includes Sean on the McDonald,

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reed, Saskia Mulder, Nora Jane Noon. I

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't recognize a lot of the faces in the movie.

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>It was a British indie flick, was it not.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was set in North Carolina, but I do

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>believe there was I believe there were British makers.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 3>That was what I recall.

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Yet, and the lead was I think she's Scottish, and

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, it certainly I forgot who was in North

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Carolina because everybody has an accent, and it seemed yeah,

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>so you're right. The director here is Neil Marshall. Now

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>we always love to say don't take our word for it.

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Written Tomato scores for the critics and robes. The audience

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>seemed to.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Like it, Yes, eighty seven percent for the critics and

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the audience seventy six percent.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Maybe just because it's.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>A little gory, a little gross, a little scary. Little look,

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm claustrophobic. I have to say, heights don't bother me,

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>but you like to me, like worst case scenario would

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>be trapped in a submarine or something I would lose

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>lose my mind.

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Like the idea of.

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Having to go into a submarine scares the but Jesus

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>out of me. And so the reason why I was

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>able to watch this movie alone though, by the way,

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>is because I have.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 3>Zero plans on caving anytime soon.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>So I felt like, you know what, I can watch

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 2>this and be totally creeped out and still feel safe

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>in my living room nursing a little baby.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Just it was just it was a sweet moment.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Two things, you know, One you knew you were never

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>going to go into a cave and get trapped, correct.

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>And two if there are these creatures down there, you're

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>never gonna go find out any correct. All good, very

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>good way of putting it. The critic Gonzendus put it

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>this way, deft direction and strong performances from its all

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>female cast. Guide The Descent a riveting, claustrophobic horror film,

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that the cast is their their dynamic is pretty.

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Cool, so good and in fact, look and we I

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>think you and I when we first realized we shared

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>a love of this movie, when we both said, and

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.239
<v Speaker 2>the Descent Too is just as good. Now the critics

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>don't give it the same reviews. I believe, but I

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>thought it was such a good It picked up where

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 2>this one leaves off. So if you love this movie,

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>please please check out the Part Too basically.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So we can give Yeah, we'll give you a two

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>fer on this one the Descent. And The Descent Too

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>is wortheeing as well. Now some critic reviews. I included

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot now blazed through them because I think you'll

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>relate to a lot of them in their shorts. Some

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of the critic reviews, it's brutal, bloody, and brilliantly entertaining. Yes, correct,

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, you will feel like you have descended to

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 1>the pits of hell.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>It is true, you feel like you are right there

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 2>with them. I mean you do, like you my blood

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>would like, like, actually chill when I saw what they saw,

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 2>like your heart actually stops with them. You feel like

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.119
<v Speaker 2>you are in these caves with these women.

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't think about it this way. So

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>much of it they had to be up close, even

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the fights in the this and that nothing is happening

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>from a distance in this movie. Another one, often terrifying,

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>often brilliant. Another one saying parents would be best to

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>protect their children from the concept went psychological trauma of

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>letting them see this.

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, yes, to think that there are creatures like that

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>living beneath you is really freaky, like super duper freaky.

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Here is one for you that was negative. A mindless,

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>mindless tense fright fest.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 3>A mindless tense fright fest. Yes, mindless. I mean, I

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I think there was a lot of mind games going

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 2>on there. What I liked about this movie is, yes,

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with this creature, but you don't even see

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>a creature.

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 3>By the way, for the first half of the movie.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Didn't we clock that and.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>At least an hour.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Because it's terrifying, first of all, just being beneath the

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 2>surface like that they're going into uncharted territory. They didn't

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>realize they were getting into this. At least some of

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>the women in the characters did not know they were

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>putting themselves in this pioneering position. But you're scared for

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>them just being trapped, let alone having a subspecies of

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 2>humans down there attacking them.

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't even come to later. But there are also

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 3>ten within the group.

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Because there was a tragedy to begin with, there was

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>some husband Sharon, I think that was going on. So

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually to say it's mindless makes no sense to me.

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>There were a lot of other plots going on that

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>made it really interesting.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>They're fighting each other, they're fighting to stay alive, and

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>they're fighting to get the hell out of there, right,

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>so mindless I find sometimes we've talked about this on

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the episodes. If not we you and I

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>have talked about this. I sometimes see the higher the

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>rating like the dumber the negative ratings.

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>They're trying to find a way.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to be contrary, they don't necessarily take on that

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like this acting or this writing. It was

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>just I don't understand why anybody even liked this. It's

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>just mindless.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Huh, what's that's a mindless comment? I like this critic review.

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>No one really enjoys nausea. But for those of you

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>who bragg that a horror movie is so scary that

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 2>it made me sick, here is The Descent, Hey, grown ups,

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>only gorefest that is bound to have you cringing and

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>jumping out of your seat at least once.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Well said, I like that gorefest is correct. This is

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>one of you know what, there's some that seem gratuitous.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Are going a little long this for the sake of

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the I guess there is a nature to these creatures

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that has to coincide with how they go about feeding

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and fighting and killing.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 3>There's a savageness to it.

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And they capture that in the dark. Now. The Descent

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>is so expertly made that it more than holds its

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>own as a full throttle horror flick. Yes, it's the

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>director's decision to provide it with a psychological bent that

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>puts it firmly over the top.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Exactly exactly.

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>He toys with our mind this whole movie.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 2>You're rooting for these women to get out of there

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and to get away from these things, like so you're

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>so invested in them escaping.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 3>You are so into it and on the edge of

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 3>your seat the entire time.

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>From the sample audience, Now, I didn't even I've never

0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 1>used this word before. Uh. Claustrophobically terrifying. One of the

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.199
<v Speaker 1>best horror movies ever made. Another thing that the scent

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>is a thrilling surprise from start to finish. Here is

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>my favorite, though Robes, I am now officially scared of

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the dark. It starts off with a bang with the

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:18.319
<v Speaker 1>two deaths, and immediately I knew I regretted watching this.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>They gave it five stars.

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>In parentheses, gave it five stars, but you're, like anyone

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>who loves horror movies totally gets that.

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Yes, this is.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Truly one of the creepiest movies you will ever see.

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic all female cast, a terrific storyline, and so many

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>atmospheric and terrifying scenes.

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:37.439
<v Speaker 3>I love this.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the only movie that made me so uncomfortable

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 2>with the claustrophobic scenes near the beginning that I seriously

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>wanted to leave the theater.

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that's a good review.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that is the If we're recommending this one,

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we say why this one made our list? And I

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think this is one of the reasons for me Robes

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>is that if monsters never showed up, this was a

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>horror movie on its own. There are scenes and where

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they're stuck and a couple of women start panicking because

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they think they won't be able to get out that

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you are breathing. You find yourself breathing hard watching this.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a horror movie.

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, before the creatures.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and even the dread of their they say that

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>at one point, I think they said they were a

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>mile or something underground, so there's no light, and so

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>there's dread from the jump. As soon as their batteries

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>go out on their lights, it's gonna be pitch black.

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Even the idea of that can you racing against time.

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Against batteries, even that attitude this being a horror movie for.

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 3>It it is.

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is so scary from start to finish.

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 2>It is a wild ride. So when we come back,

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.239
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna tell you, Yes, we'll get into the specifics

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 2>of why it made our list, who it's for, who

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not for, what to pair it with, and where

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to watch it. Plus of course you will tease ahead

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>to our number four on the list. We are in

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 2>our top five people, and we continue our conversation on

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the dissent.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 3>It is number.

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Five on our Halloween Horror hit list, and it has

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 2>been one of our favorite horror movies for almost twenty

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>years now, and we hope it will soon be one

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 2>of your favorites as well.

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:32.359
<v Speaker 3>It is terrifying.

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>It has all the elements of being stuck somewhere claustrophobic,

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you're underground, you're fighting within your own factions, and now

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you've got these flesh eating, subhuman, subterranean creatures after you.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>It's so scary and it's so good, and the critics

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and the audience finally actually agree with us. It doesn't

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>always happen, but this is one of those where there

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>seems to be an absolute consensus. Why it made our list, Well,

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 2>we bonded over it, so it had to be on

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the list. It's one of our favorite first horror movie

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>conversations we ever had. And it's it's so intense. I

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 2>think that was like it's heart pounding. It never lets up,

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and you are on a ride and you're like you're

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>on this fast moving train and you can't get off it.

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and again when there's a horror movie does a

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>formula to where if you don't see the monster the

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>bad guy, you're not supposed to be scared. This is

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a movie where you are terrified before a monster ever

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>shows up. And they were able to create this tension

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and this I don't know, just the lighting and the

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>setting and everything about it. They created an environment. This

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is an experience of a movie.

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, I totally agree with that.

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>And the acting is incredible from people who you don't

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 2>even know, so just really phenomenal act do really good.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say storytelling, but I was horror telling.

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's kind of both horror storytelling.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Who's this for? If you love a monster?

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And there are certain we've talked about in this list,

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>lots of different subgenres of horror movies, But I love

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a creature film, and this is an unexpected one, not

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>one you've seen before, yes, and not one really i've

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>seen since. I think they're so good at just giving

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you glimpses of these things and you're waiting for it

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and you don't and there oh, but the way they

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>did it, it's so realistic looking.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 3>It's not over the top.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 2>It actually is exactly what you think subterranean cave dwelling,

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>flesh eating things would like half human, what they would

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 2>look like.

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Ooh ooh, this is one we have to say here.

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You have to have to have to watch this in

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the dark. It needs to be pitch black in the

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>room because so much of this. Yes, they're in caves.

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>There's it's very low lighting, and a lot of these fights,

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff happens pretty quickly in very low lighting.

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 2>And also if you love like survival adventure type of

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>horror movies, this is that's got that element to it

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>as well. A race against time, a race against creatures,

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and a race against just even your own conditions, like

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to get out of something. It's it's so good, now,

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>who is it not for this is? It gets pretty gory.

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's not over the top. It's what it should be. Yeah,

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's gratuitous for what this is. But yeah,

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>there are some I guess there's the A lot of

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the sound is disturbing as well, and a lot of

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>these fights, and there's some All the weapons are sharp,

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>all the deaths of brutal, the injuries are even.

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 3>There are some injuries.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>There's at least one arm remembering that's really tough, really tough.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>And I do think what one of the critics said

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 2>about not letting your kids watch this, This to me

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>is stuff of nightmare. Like the creatures like no, but

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 2>when you see their faces it can haunt you. Like

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 2>this could keep you up at night, and certainly if

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you're young and just seeing their faces. I again was

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 2>not scared because I just was able to rationalize it

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 2>and say, I'm not.

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 3>In a cave. These aren't things that are walking around

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>New York City, So.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of okay, Well, the l train you seeing that.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 3>It is Halloween, like, we could see some of that.

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 3>But yes, if you don't like Gore, if you don't.

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Like anything that's I mean, honestly, if you don't want

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to be too scared, this isn't. It's intense and it's scary.

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>So you have to want both of those things, the

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 2>intensity and the fear.

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>There are no breaks in this movie. Once they go

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>in that cave, you just sit up. It's going to

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>be a ride until the absolute vary end.

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And so in terms of what to pair it with,

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 2>so you think you should have to watch this, it

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 2>is better to watch with someone. Oh absolutely, I watched this.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I was on maternity leave, I watched

0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>this and I watched The Extorcism of Emily Rose, and

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>both of those for very different reasons.

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Literally, I regretted it.

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I was I was in the woods by myself with

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 2>that my baby, and I think my mom. It was

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>like all girls, like it was literally an all female

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>cast in the house. It was really dumb. But so, yeah,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you should probably watch this with somebody. I would say

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 2>that would be fun. And yes, in the pitch black

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 2>in the dark at night, and look, I don't know,

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it's so intense. I wouldn't eat a lot

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 2>like popcorn, keep it simple popcorn. I was like, this

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>is like the acid inducing type of movie, So you

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 2>want to keep those things just to a minimum.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 3>So salty snacks, that's what I would say.

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I cannot tell folks what not to eat. Yes, why

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>in God's name were we having medium late.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Terrible? We even said we have to admit what we

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>were watching when we read what we were eating while

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>we were rewatching it. And yes, medium rare filet mignon

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>is not something to pair.

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 3>With this movie. It was a big mistake. I totally

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 3>forgot about that.

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't really think you should probably eat medium rare

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 2>steak with just about every single horror movie period. You

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 2>should just go ahead and do that ahead of time

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 2>and then keep to the light snack.

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, all right, Where to watch this?

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>This is on Amazon Prime if you've got a subscription,

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 2>but we found it pretty easy to find. And then

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the descent too is also there as well, I believe,

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 2>so you can just do one and then number two

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>right afterwards. All right, next up our number four this week?

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 2>How would you describe this one? How would you tease this?

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>This is another one of our all time favorites that

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 2>we both bonded over as well.

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is a sleeper and a shocker that it's

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>in our top five for a number of reasons, including

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>it's PG thirteen.

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 2>We were shocked you said this to me yesterday. Can

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you believe this? Robes two of our top five are

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>PG thirteen something that you avoid at all costs, and

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 2>we had no idea.

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>But it does include perhaps our favorite horror movie actor

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of all time, mister Justin Long. So looking forward to

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>telling you about number four tomorrow, but for now, hopefully

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 1>always appreciate you hanging with us. I hope you've got

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>some good out of these horror movies, but we got

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>some doozies for you this week, but always appreciate you listening.

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.159
<v Speaker 1>For now, I'm TJ. Holmes alongside Hemmy Roepok. We'll talk

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to y'll soon
