WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #24 “30 Days of Night” 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:12.600 Welcome everyone. It is Wednesday, October eighth, and this is 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:17.640 the latest installment of Deep Cuts Amy and TJ's Halloween 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.920 horror hit list. And today on Wednesday, we are up 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.880 to number twenty four. And I love a recent headline. 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.319 This is an older movie from two thousand and seven, 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.840 so almost twenty years ago, but this was a recent headline, 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.360 just from a couple days ago from the website movie 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.920 Web to describe our next movie, the most underrated vampire 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.959 movie of the century, sings its teeth into a new 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.000 streaming home so it is available to everyone now. But yes, 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.760 we are talking about two thousand and seven's Thirty Days 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.760 of Night, number twenty four on our list. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:58.920 This is the best, one of the best concepts for 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.520 a vampire movement ever seen, maybe the best. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.479 Yes, because it's actually fun. This is a vampire movie 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.880 that feels apocalyptic, that feels almost like a zombie movie 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.680 except for its vampires. And we're used to seeing vampires 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.800 be a little bit more romantic, and the genre of 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.880 vampires has always been I feel like, oftentimes coupled with 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.200 some sort of romance, some sort of fascination with humans, 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.959 and bringing humans into the vampire world. This is very different. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.000 Oh, it's Dracula was sexy exactly. Jackiela could buy you 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.840 a drink and you'd be raided or you know, you 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.640 have to attack me, sir, bite me, baby, take me. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.880 Uh it is what we're all e been used to. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.360 And even yes, you go back to I think a 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.800 lot of people remember interview with a vampire. Those are 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:48.400 I mean Tom Prus and a pretty sexy vampires. This 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.280 ain't that at all. Uh. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.760 Yes, this movie runs a little bit longer than we're 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.640 used to, but honestly, it goes by so quickly because 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.920 it's so good. We just rewatched this. I don't even 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.880 know how many times I've seen this movie, but I 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.480 am a huge fan. We both are. It's an hour 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.040 fifty three minutes rateed R and the genre is horror, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.360 mystery thriller. We have a synopsis for you as well. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.240 It reads. In the far Northern Hemisphere, the small town 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.919 of Barrow, Alaska, experiences a solid month of darkness every year. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.080 Though most of the residents head south for the winter, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.799 some townspeople remain behind. However, those that stay regret their 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.040 decision when one year, hungry vampires descend on Barrow to 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.680 feed Sheriff Ebitt and his wife and a dwindling band 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.760 of survivors must try to last until dawn breaks over 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:43.280 Barrow's month long twilight. What a cool concept, the. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.120 Concept there being if you caught this, if any horror 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.079 movie you represent, vampire horror movie. If you're scared, scared, 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.400 scared the whole movie, the one time you relax and 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:55.240 get relief as. 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.359 Win during the daily dail light. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.320 Soon as you see a daytime see you go, we're 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:06.240 cool for a minute. There is no daylight for thirty days. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.600 This movie the concept that vampires can roam free and 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.960 there's no hiding from them day or night for thirty days. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.679 It's a cool entrapment type of a movie. Kind of 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.919 it sounds crazy compared to you know, I love Diehard, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.919 but this idea that you're in there with your enemy 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.919 and nobody can go anywhere is what this movie feels like. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.000 Oh it's so And it did really really well at 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.480 the box office, seventy five point five million. It had 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.720 a budget of thirty million. It did really well, but 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.320 the critics did not give it the love that we 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.680 believe it deserves. However, I have noticed again this was 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.080 two thousand and seven, so almost twenty years now. Recent 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.280 reviews have been much more positive because sometimes critics will 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.640 go back and re review it, and certainly audience members 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.040 who see it on streaming services will review it. And 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.760 I've noticed there is a tonal shift from when it 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.920 first came out versus now. So I don't know if 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.240 there's an appreciation now that we have more perspective or 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.360 they were expecting something different. But it's really interesting to 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.440 see the arc of the critics. This has a stellar cast. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.440 Josh Hartnett plays the sheriff, his wife Melissa George estranged wife, 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.040 I should say in the movie. And then Danny Huston, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.760 who got a claim from everyone, even the critics who 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.680 didn't like the movie. He plays the lead vampire. It 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 was resoundingly people were so impressed with his performance. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.720 Okay, and people you might not know his name, you here, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.320 you see his face, You're going to go, oh yeah, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.840 oh yeah, you'll probably start being able to name some 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.239 things you've seen him in. You haven't seen him like this, Oh. 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.840 It's so good. And then Ben Foster is really good 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.240 in this as well. But the director David Slade. Anyway, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.800 it was a stellar cast. I thought it an. We 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.680 thought it was an incredible concept and I thought it 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.960 was well executed. Did you do you have anything negative 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:46.839 to say about the movie? 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:52.240 Yes, I probably will, but later. But the thing I 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.480 didn't piece this again until we start watching these movies 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.360 like this, and every day we were talking about the cast, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.120 and I think a lot of horror movies are not 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.720 not necessarily known for great acting, or at least historically. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.800 So it's to be a screen queen. Long as you 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.599 can run, trip over a branch and scream really loud 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:14.360 and die really well on TV, that's a good horror movie, actress, sweetheart, 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.800 every have you noticed we've got Oscar winners, We've got 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.880 very accomplished, award winning actors in some of these horror 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.600 movies that are deep cuts. I guess it adds to 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.120 the point that good acting helps the product. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.440 Well, you know, I also think this. It seems as 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.520 if there's been a recent shift in years where I 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.440 think a lot of as you mentioned, well esteemed actors 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.640 might have been afraid bad pun there to do a 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.680 horror movie because they felt like maybe it would lower 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:50.200 their their artistic how they're considered. You know, it's not Shakespeare, right, 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.120 So it might have felt like a genre that is 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.880 beneath you know, well regarded actors, but we're seeing that 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.920 completely changed. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.880 Tell me, obviously this year was a big deal with 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.160 weapons and centers, right, and so no, it's been No, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.520 it's fun to say, I didn't necessarily put it together 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.800 till every movie we're reviewing, Oh she has an oscar, 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.080 Oh he has a golden globe. Oh he was in 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.360 this show. Oh they're great actors. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.240 All right. So all that said, thirty Days of Night 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.280 only got a Rotten Tomato score of fifty percent, and 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.080 their audience score wasn't much better at fifty six percent. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.840 We wholeheartedly disagree and urge you not because I think 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.800 sometimes you do see that and you say I'll pass. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.320 It's probably not good. This is one you should not 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.600 pass on. This made our list for a reason. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.480 You would have passed on this, I think, I mean, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.240 given your I mean your rules. Usually if there's a 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.120 low critic score but a high audience score, you like, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.560 hell yeah, I'm all in. But usually when you see 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.400 both of them, you see a low audience score, you're 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.200 kind of lukewarm. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.600 I would have looked at this with significant skepticism. Absolutely 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.240 but I so listen to the critic con consensus. While 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.840 Thirty Days of Night offers a few thrills, it ultimately 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.720 succumbs to erratic execution. All right, So that again would 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.400 turn a lot of folks off. But then and we 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.920 have some I actually found a lot of, like I said, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.560 recent positive critic reviews, and certainly the audience reviews that 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.240 were on Rotten Tomatoes were much better the nearer you 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.040 are to this date, like some of them were written 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.800 a few days ago. Oh okay, right, so a sample 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.160 critic review. Here's one. This is one of the bad ones, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.000 A sadly missed opportunity, a waste of talent on senseless 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.240 drek that made even the always welcome Danny Huston as 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.840 the Vampire Leader look silly. Wow, I couldn't agree more. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.080 I couldn't disagree more. Sorry, I couldn't. He didn't look 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:45.560 silly at all. He was scary as hell. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.920 Oh yeah, the whole time. What was that language they 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:53.120 were speaking, some language that even added to the. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.120 Terrors and the noises they would make, like, oh my gosh, 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:57.720 I can't even do it. All right, So here's some 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.920 of that. There was another bad one about his skin 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.680 is Count Shocula. I saw that one that was mean 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.800 and unnecessary. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.760 And not accurate in the least bit. Agreed Count Schocula 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.840 wouldn't last thirty seconds. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.360 In this movie was one of my favorite cereals as 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.559 a kid growing up. No, but here are some of 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.000 the better good ones that critics gave. Here is one 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.000 of those rare movies that penetrates the membrane separating all 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:29.320 those disposable gotcha scarefests from genuinely engrossing supernatural thrillers. And 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.959 then another one, an entertaining horror and action film that, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:38.440 by presenting vampires as truly monstrous and ruthless creatures, manages 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.160 to create an incredibly suspenseful experience. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.840 We don't do that enough, and there's some that do it. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.880 But I mean, yes, vampires are sexy right up until 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.480 they kill you, but they're wearing all black. They usually 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.800 have a nice tailored outfit, right, This is not that 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.240 vampires are monsters. Start to finish in this movie, and 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.280 there's not a single one of them you would ever 0:08:59.320 --> 0:08:59.880 want to be close to. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.520 Oh my god, No, and the teeth, the makeup, it 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.439 was so good. They did look monstrous from start to finish, 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.320 wanted to read a couple of audience recent audience reviews 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.320 that I really liked and thought summed up part of 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.760 why we put this on our list. I love this movie, 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400 says KK. Thirty Days of Night is dark, suspenseful, and 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.480 some gross moments, but excellent acting. Even knowing what the 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.320 big bad was to be from the get go didn't 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.000 lose my interest. Rather, the predatory nature of the vampires, 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.280 led by Hustin as Marlowe, made me wonder who was 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.000 next and how they would be killed. Hustin really embodied 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.760 a soulless, evil vampire that didn't just kill humans to 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.560 eat and live, but rather appear to hate and despise 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:46.480 human existence. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.119 You can't reason, You cannot reason with them under any circumstance. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.559 Yes, and then Logan writes an all time great vampire movie. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.360 Ignore the critics who are just mad that nobody bangs 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.640 a vamp in this one. I started laughing because it 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.319 is true. I think there's that expectation of the sexiness. 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:07.600 There is nothing at all. They are creatures in the 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.000 night who are here to kill all of you. That 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.000 is the movie, and there is not. Some of the 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.240 fight scenes the dramatic. They're shot in such a way 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.920 like battlefields, just in a small town. This is an 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.520 incredible movie. This is a look. We recommend all of them, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.720 but this is what I will scream against critics about. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.320 It stays with you and like you said, like the scenery, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.640 the imagery, This Alaskan town frozen with snow everywhere, cut 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.200 off from civilization, so to speak, with the roads and 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.480 the weather and the darkness. It's so good. So I 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.080 was trying to come up with a way to write 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.080 why it made our list, and I found a website 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.760 that summed it up better than I could say it. 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.040 So I want to read it because this is exactly 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.680 why we chose this movie for our list. Thirty Days 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.679 of Night helped give birth to a new breed of vampire, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.840 one that wasn't in interested in holding up in gothic 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.000 castles or spending their nights in hip clubs with techno 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.080 music pumping all around them. The vampires and this one 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.880 were feral, animalistic, and monstrous, yet at the same time, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.480 there was a method to their madness. There was organization 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.000 among the chaos, which made them feel even more terrifying. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.080 I couldn't have said it better. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.960 To add to that, they were we saw victims like 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.520 disappear in a flash, yes, like they were coming out 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.559 of nowhere and their attack like you couldn't see anything 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.600 going on, and that added to I think the fear. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:36.960 I think that might have been some of the early 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.000 kills to where now you're wondering in every scene, this 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.400 person's gonna who knows how they're gonna go out? 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.520 Yeah, they just get like whipped underneath a building or 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.520 whipped underneath the truck, and you're like, where did they 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.800 just go? Oh my god, what's happening to them? 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.400 So, yeah, this was a there were I'm trying to 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.760 I don't want to give this scene away, but there 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.439 are scenes that no no violence takes place that there 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.640 is no thing about the scene on the road when 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.200 they're like, what is that chasing us? Oh? Yes, and 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.440 there would nobody die. Nobody got hurt in that scene, 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.200 even but you're scared as all get out because there's 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.880 just it's cold, it's dark, there's a mystery, and this 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.840 thing is I'm going seventy miles an hour. For some reason, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.280 something just caught me. The tension in that scene is 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.760 that kind of what goes throughout that you're actually nervous 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.920 and scared of what's around the corner. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.960 Yeah, like super whom human strength coming up at you? 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.200 All right? So who is this for? Obviously anyone who 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.199 loves a vampire movie, anyone who loves like an end 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.360 of day's apocalyptic style movie, because that's what it felt 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.040 like with the town on fire and everything, like the 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.040 fights that were going on, it felt apocalyptic. Lots of 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.680 jump scares, and there is a lot of gore, I 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.920 would say, and I wanted to add this. I think 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:52.240 this movie is for anyone who's rooting for love in 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.760 tough times. I say this because I had fun while 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.959 being scared hoping that Josh Hartnett and Melissa George's care 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.840 Ara get back together. While they're fighting vampires. I was 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.160 hoping that they were also fighting to save their troubled marriage. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.160 I'm with you there, and I will admit the first 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.640 time or what, but I got tears in my eyes 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.160 at the end of this movie, and I bet you 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.400 all will too, because they do such a good job 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.679 of building their relationship even though they're no longer in 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.600 one You your heart is in it with him. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.120 And wasn't it Melissa George. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.320 Yah, your heart is in it with them, and he 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.200 is as heroic as you will ever see. Josh Hartnett 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.560 in this movie. And I'm telling you the end is 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.920 holy hell, I'm telling you it broke me down. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.400 Yeah, and she's a badass in this movie too. I 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.720 love it. They're both strong. It's not like one's weak 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.920 and one's helping together. They were both. They were they 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.439 were a team. That's I'm getting choked, Okay. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.040 So I will say that you talk about who the 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:56.360 movie is for, it's for anybody who who who likes 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.640 being on the edge of your seat for an entire 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.840 movie like this grabs you very early on, and even 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.839 the moments where there's not violence and you don't see 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.720 a vampire, you're standing by waiting for one to come, 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.560 or what's the next word is gonna come out of 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.080 his mouth? That that's just constant tension, and they build 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.760 a mystery for so long the town doesn't know what's 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.120 going like what is happening to us? It is a 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.360 great build. So yes, if you like edge of your 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.640 seat stuff, this takes you from beginning to end almost. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.120 All right, coming up, we're gonna tell you who it's 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.720 not for What's a Parrot with where you can watch it? 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:36.640 And to tease for our next movie on the list. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.200 All right, we continue now number what is it on 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.800 the list? Twenty four? Twenty four? Now on the list 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.200 thirty Days of Night. Yes, it is a vampire movie 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.400 like you have never seen before. It starts Josh Hartnett. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.400 Can we give this dude some love? He took a 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.760 break from acting for a little while, but he has 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.840 come back in a few things that I have loved 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.440 seeing him in. I know Trapp didn't get a whole 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.480 lot of great reviews, but he carried that as a 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.480 as a what an OCD serial killer? 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.640 Yes, I mean the first half of the movie was 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.480 amazing and compelling. They just kind of lost their way, 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.560 I think with the writing and the second half. But 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.080 it was nothing. It had nothing to do with his performance. 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:18.680 He was amazing. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.520 But he's had several things he's come back, and I 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.840 will add I mean, I just this was before he 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.560 took the so it was twenty two years of movie. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.200 This was two thousand and seven. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.520 He took the break after what I can't remember when 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.600 he took his break, but man, in the last few years, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.920 and this just shows The dude's a solid, solid actor 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.720 and has been for a long time, so it was 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.960 it was cool to go back and watch something and 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.960 to remember I guess the younger cat. Now we see 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:44.400 him as an. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.640 Older guy movies, but he's likeable. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.040 He is. Man. I like this guy. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.440 I really do too. All Right, So who is this 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.720 movie not for? Well? I would say if you're alone, 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.840 you should not watch it. I think it will creep 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.200 you out. I don't know. You may disagree, TJ. But 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.640 and if you obviously, if you don't like blow and gods, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.720 you know, vampires are eating people. Okay, so this is gory. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.000 So if that's not your jam, this isn't your movie. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.320 But man, even if you could just look away during 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.360 those parts and still get the rest of it, I 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.840 still I think most people who like or love horror 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.600 movies are going to love this movie. I really think that. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.480 Yeah. And even if you look away, you got to 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.280 deal with the sound effcts, because you're gonna hear some 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.000 slashing and some chomping and some ove all kinds of stuff. No, 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.080 if you don't like if you're immediately turned off by 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.560 blood and guts and killing, and it's essentially monsters eating people. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.680 It's not like shots and stabs. This is like some 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.720 pretty mantra. They use their teeth and their sharp claws 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.080 to deal with their victims. So if you don't think 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.760 you can stomach that, then heads. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.280 Up, or like anyone laughing with blood all over their face, 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.280 like there is there are some sister pretty haunting images 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:49.960 that stay with you. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.560 To your point about I guess we're different on this regard. 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.920 If this is one like like you said, I if 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.400 you want to watch it by yourself, because I'm not 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.720 worried about the vampire jumping through the window like you said. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.760 Sometimes on like the don't watch that alone because the 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.040 next time you hear a creak in your house, you're 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.720 gonna freak out. This is one where the vampires don't 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:08.560 necessarily scare me. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.240 I see. I feel like at night when I'm sleeping 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.200 or whatever, like when I'm trying to go to bed 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.080 and I'm alone and I've just watched that movie that's 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.560 not I'm like, damn it, what did I watch that 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.040 movie alone? This might be one of them for me. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.080 How many nights are you sleeping alone these days? 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.920 Okay, I'm just rememberring, I'm remembering back to those days 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.600 of traveling alone in a hotel room and then being 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.159 so regretful of a movie I watched. I just I 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.080 have memories of that back in the day when I 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:38.080 used to sleep alone sometimes. All right, what to pair 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.320 this with? Atmosphere? Food, drinks? All right, so obviously red 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:46.560 wine and if you're watching a vampire movie, it's fun 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.119 to have a glass of red wine. You disagree, You know. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.640 Red wine and horror don't go together matter. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.399 I know they don't normally, but I'm saying, when you're 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.680 watching a vampire movie, it's kind of fun. Yeah. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.320 The thing about drinking blood, yeah, you know, most normal 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:03.240 people would want to do. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.080 And I don't know why I felt like this, but 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.600 I just feel like this. Have you ever mixed raisinets 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:09.240 with popcorn? 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:10.320 No? 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.959 It's so good. No, it's amazing. It's like a salty sweet. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.320 I don't actually I never heard of that. 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.240 I think, Oh my gosh, people do it all the time. Raisinets, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.520 so the chocolate covered reason with popcorn. I know people 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.919 who put the box of raisinets and put it in 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.040 the popcorn and mix them together so you you get 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:29.320 a handful of salty sweet. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:30.639 This is why I don't hang with your friends. 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.280 For some reason, I feel like this movie would be really, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.080 really really good to do that with. Why because you 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.560 get salty sweet. There's no you get hitty sweet with 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:40.880 the salty ever. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.120 Why would I do? Okay, that's a different episode, stark, Okay. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.000 All right. I also, obviously, this is one where I 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.760 believe you have to watch at night because it's dark. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.359 You know, we've talked about this. We try. We like 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.440 horror movies twenty four to seven, but this one would 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.160 be a hard one to watch during the day because 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.480 it's dark and then you've got the light. So I 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.720 just this mood, the ambiance, and even just the fact 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:01.680 that all the scenes are. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.840 Can't do it. Yes, you cannot watch this with sunlight 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:05.680 coming into the room. 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.280 And I think this one is a fun one to 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:08.040 watch with a group. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.159 Oh yeah, because you react to so many things and 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.520 there'll be some people going ooh, look at this. Other 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.600 than a hiding in the face, that's a very fun 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.960 communal thing. This is one that will cause different people 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:20.639 to react in different ways, and to have them all 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:21.720 in one room is fun. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.120 Yeah. This is a this is a Halloween party kind 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.000 of a film. I think is really fun to watch, 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.840 all right, And the cool thing is you can watch this. 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:29.600 Everybody can watch it for free. That was part of 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.800 why I think there was a resurgence of recommendations and 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.400 reviews because it's free on two b it was as 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.920 of October first, so people got excited that they could 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.560 watch it. But if you have a Paramount Plus subscription, 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.080 and I think that's you can get that with Hulu 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.200 or with Prime Video if you've got an add on, which, 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.000 of course watch this one Paramount Plus. I think Hulu 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.920 or Prime Video because. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:52.920 I thought there was in our library. This is not. 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.280
