to put it all together edited by Adam Winger too that’s cool all right guys I’m gonna have to talk very efficient because uh time of shooting this I have to move on to editing something else right it’s like 11 30 at night or something else I gotta edits this is weird just uh kind of a funky schedule this whole week that I’ve been having but um I really really enjoyed that there was a a real cheeky kind of humor to it I loved I loved its black humor man I love the dark humor throughout and
it was just a really exciting film because when it starts off it has this like self-awareness that you think you’re sort of walking into uh traditional home invasion movie where you know family is going to mingle together and then bam there’s going to be some serial killers to show up something a little bit more straightforward and direct kind of like the strangers movies you know the strangers I I’m I haven’t I don’t recall pray at night too well I don’t know I’m sure if you’ve seen that movie but uh like the strangers it’s a typical
home invasion movie serial killer slasher and such but there was a lot of great whodunit flares to it and there was uh it was almost like an Agatha Christie Vibe about it where you have the family mingling together and instead of just the body count of the family members it starts to become a question of like who’s involved who’s really behind all this why is this all going down is it you know because at first it’s sort of leading you into this belief that these are psychopaths attacking them and that perhaps there’s some type of
ritual behind it you know especially with the fact that they’re riding on the walls like you’re next that it does seem like there’s some type of ritual occurring you’re out in the woods and they’re masked up and is there like symbolism behind the mask but then you start to you know eventually latch on them so one of these people might be in on it so I like that there was a bit of this it’s like a physical comedy quality to it and a bit of a screwball comedy Vibe uh with a bit of an Agatha
Christie Flair as well with a home invasion Vibe and also an action movie and a horror movie all in one I thought that was great like the way they they fleshed all those elements together I thought had a great natural build to it because in the beginning it does feel like some of the dialogue does feel like a little bit cheesy but then it just works so well and you know it’s there are parts that feel like a bit of a because I think a lot of it just comes down to if you strike the
right tone you can get away with certain kinds of expositional dialogue like when Aaron is hiding who is this woman by the way hold up Charney Vinson God I know I’m in a rush right now but I I gotta know who this person is my God she was phenomenal I I loved her she was so incredible I don’t think I’ve seen her at this I think this is the only thing I’ve ever seen her in she is so good I love the the handling of her character we gotta talk about that because yeah like they’re
planting the seeds in there of dysfunctional family and you kind of think maybe it’s gonna go one specific way because in the beginning of the film I was sort of going all right whose perspective are we latching on to it eventually you know I was like okay I think this is Aaron’s perspective that we are ultimately capturing this movie from because you’re like is it crispin’s perspective that we’re seeing this film through you know he’s the son having to return to his families obviously ambivalent towards them or watching as he’s driving to them and bringing
his girlfriend and perhaps he’s the one who’s gonna have to go on a character Arc and there’s like a completely different movie that this could have been where through the course of these events you watch as these brothers like Drake and Crispin overcome their odds and then somehow through these actions of standing up in the violence and whatever that they become a family unit again or or some something like that there’s there’s like that tale they could have told but I really love the direction of this because of that who’d done a kind of flare
it and then having this sort of action element to it it provides something very unique and different and very unexpected it’s a nice flip on the genre like the version I pitched you just now is the very predictable version that it could have gone down which could have been a great character-driven Nuance piece sure maybe there’s a way that you could have done that as well then it could have hit the right players still got the cool violence but this version especially with the Aaron character because like at the very beginning of the film I
don’t remember the specific lines but they’re first seen together Crispin and Aaron she knows it’s a good uh uh it’s a good way of alluding to the fact that she knows a little bit more about things than you would expect when it comes to the background of killers and stuff and survivalists so you’re you do slowly start to pick up and there are these little clues that Kristen might be in on it because like I thought that line of dialogue was a little corny and it’s like I’ve never seen you behave like this when she’s
getting all assertive after really getting lost in the blood and that is the moment for her character a fight or flight like what do I do and it’s time to buckle down and you get this sense that she had um an oppressive childhood something that like I think the performance is great and the writing is awesome too because you get this sense that she had a a real oppressive childhood and rather traumatic you know being taken away at 15 and being brought up to have these sort of sets of beliefs and that you would the
world is going to end and it’s going to be like an apocalyptic landscape you’re gonna have to learn to kill you’re gonna have to learn to survive in these really dark times and just having the sort of beliefs and then you can imagine that her character went down this path of having just a completely different life and trying to get away from all that and then bam and this incident happens and all those things that were sort of pushed away that you wouldn’t even tell the the man who she loves about her true past you
wouldn’t even let him in on that piece of information eventually you know some more I’m talking about and I’m going back to the beginning of the moon like man there were a lot of great Clues laid throughout even with Crispin and the way how he reacts to the family of when she’s like a lot of people would love to have parents like yours and you could see how uh resistant he is towards just receiving that and taking that anyway um when it when it came to uh her character you’re watching as everything about her is
just becoming the full survivalist everything she was sort of raised to be in her early ages of life that they talk about you watch as she sort of morphs into this by the very end you know it’s step by step being cautious being cautious and then eventually just full on violence breaking through and I love the trajectory of her character and I thought the performance was awesome and the way the movie starts to take some turns with you know slowly showing The Killers having the reveals there and then before he know it when they put
their masks on they’re not even scary and you just get you get to the point where you just want to watch her mess all these guys up I thought was excellent and it was fun it was pulpy it was inventive with some of its kills it was disturbing but it never got like too mean-spirited to the point where uh you know like sometimes in certain movies I like I like good campy violence and I like Pulp and all that I I like Gore I I do enjoy it and there are times though contextually where I
go this is just too mean for my spirit like in Halloween kills there’s this early on in the films if you haven’t seen a slight spoiler where Michael Myers kills this old couple and then uh while the old woman’s dying she watches as Michael is like experimenting with which knife to use by stabbing it into the body of the Dead old guy and I’m like why’d she have to be alive to witness this this is so mean like I watched that film every time I see that movie I’m like this is just mean that’s mean
I don’t like it like there’s mean stuff here like brothers killing brothers and stuff they’re just killing their family members it’s mean but there’s a certain tone that the film strikes where it doesn’t cross into two mean-spirited there’s a there’s a sense of fun even amongst the more like disturbing family qualities to it there’s a there’s a morbid Macabre type of sensibility that I really enjoy and yeah I remember Christmas I thought he I the crisp and twist because like with the brother Felix and then the Z the woman I it wasn’t surprising I I
had a thought going off in the way they were Framing and I feel like Adam Winger wanted to kind of clue you in that he was part of it Crispin for some reason I I just thought he might just show up at the end uh part of me was worried that they were gonna pull some where he just walks through the door and the ax hits him like I was actually really concerned that might happen but they didn’t do that and they instead gave us a Twist that lined up it made sense it makes sense
to everything else and while there’s a lot of like Exposition dumps I thought they used it in the in the right right framing like it’s it’s certain Exposition and be forgivable again tone and and again you know like when Felix is freaking out explaining all the things that are giving all the information to to uh Aaron while she’s hiding behind the corners it works works in the scene and even with um you know it’s like if Chrisman picks Chrisman calls Felix and she picks up his phone and he just starts dumping information like that’s just
a little silly but when she when he is like revealing the whole plan he’s also pleading he knows that he could die so he’s also trying to bargain with her so that way he can you know keep his life because he is ultimately a coward and I I like the way they they formed that relationship at the very beginning because they they don’t reveal like oh my God is actually this ultimate Mastermind killer guy he’s not as cowardly as he as he puts up you you get the sense of the with the history of their
relationship that oh he’s the exact opposite of the kind of of her dad essentially the way how Aaron grew up and she talks about her father you get the sense that you know as she wanted to have a different roadmap for her life not the one she grew up in that she was drawn to someone like Chrisman who is the complete opposite of that and they maintain that complete oppositeness while those are giving us this villainous turn about him and I think the way the a lot of the way the family Dynamics I thought was
fleshed out really well like all that dinner table stuff seemed part of it seemed improvised um it would have just added the sense of realism like I like how during the most violent hectic chaotic moments of just pure intensity they would sometimes keep that family bickering still alive it was great I had so much fun with this the music choices were great there’s a lot of great framing devices in here that do feel it feels like it’s doing its own thing kind of feels like the example when you do the guest as well because um
uh there are times I was thinking of the guests did he do the guest I’m looking it up he did do the guest okay yeah that makes sense that makes a lot of sense that way because there were definitely times I was thinking about the guest and I really liked that movie oh that would have been a good one to react to on this channel why did I have to watch it on my own time uh I really like the guest a lot so yeah again that’s another movie with a revealing of the character throughout
I don’t want to ruin that for anyone if you haven’t seen it watch the guest that’s a great movie um but yeah I think keeping it at Close Quarters a contained film and the the way the reveals went down I thought I had a lot of colorful personalities to a lot of the characters and it was just it was fun that was just a really fun horror movie it was fun it was the time suspenseless and had some really good jump scares I’m trying to think of something I didn’t like and just because I feel
like I gotta contribute something to the like a criticism uh other than some points of expositional dialogue that didn’t quite click with me but I was so invested in the main character and I think the way how you discover who she is through her actions is is great and yeah no it was this is cool it’s a cool movie man it’s cool I like how it took its turn into sort of a b pulpy film from a from a suspenseful home invasion movie to a like a pulpy cathartic violent action film that was awesome kind
of like the cast and um guys what do you think about this movie you’re next I thought this was awesome this was a really awesome film and uh I’d like to watch it again and sort of just study it because I thought there was some wonderful composition to the shots because so much of it is handheld yet it also to really add up that intensity beef up that intensity yet at the same time there were some just really great composition with its shots and a lot of messing with perspective I thought was awesome that it
constantly had this voyeuristic touch especially in the first half um a lot and watching how the table’s turnover time is great ah drake drake drake drake drake drake there’s some stupid character choices of course but you know as again when you get into this like fearful state I’m like I don’t know what it’d be like to be in a situation so would I be the idiot who runs out the door sure why not I mean I’d like to think I’d be logical and composed and be Aaron in this situation but I’m like maybe not I’d
probably freak out too at some point and make the wrong call and split up or something like that when I shouldn’t be splitting up but for the most part now this is good it was great it was a great time I could see why people Rave about this movie Ladies and Gentlemen leave your thoughts down below leave a like subscribe click that Bell and last but not least let’s end this with a kale Linden Mikhail if I was stuck in a home invasion situation I feel like you’d be the right guy to know because there’s
something about you that just reads a pure intellect especially with the kind of films you’re really into I feel like you’d really understand what kind of weapons we need how to set up Contraptions all kinds of gimmicks and gadgetry probably go on MacGyver on everyone’s asses and that’s the kind of guy you need in a home invasion situation some kale I hope that the time I take a trip to Sweden that eventually when I’m in your home chilling getting to know the family that some people try to break in and maybe annihilate us and then
that’s when I get to see the true side of Mikhail come out the monster within and he tries to resolve this guilt by staying a loyal super sexy reject or patreon page Thinking by giving that will absolve him of the monster within him but it won’t if anything I’m just going to use all the earnings from patreon to make sure to hire these burglars to break in just so I can Unleash the Beast Within you and force all that repressed trauma to come out of you because that’s the way I roll Mikhail and I love
my people at our patreon just that much that I want to see their true colors go back
