Even though saxys aren’t around anymore, everyone on the team for this film 100% deserves one, full stop.
If there was ever a time for valve to start handing them out again, this would be first on the ballot.
They don't deserve a saxxy. They deserve a million for this production. I think that a film that was in production for 5 years, and has better quality than films that took twice as long in modern horror deserves an insane budget for their next film.
Rather than only Saxxy this deserve actual film award that competes with other movies
Forget the Saxxies. This could be entered into an irl film festival. This is better than 80% of horror shlock released over the last few years.
Wish the r/tf2 sub would be half as positive as this comment.
The fact that the entire film was done by a small team on SFM, and not by a major studio with a army behind it, shows how brilliant independent film-makers can be, and how creativity isn't as dead as modern films make it seem to be.
I know what you mean about /mainstream modern films/ where its literally 3 dominant corporations putting out 10 year roadmaps with 38 films of the same franchise, but creativity in film isn’t dead. Mainstream film is certainly a corpse that’s somehow still being milked for gold from soyperhero manchildren, but with the opening up and availability of tools that are more than adequate to make a film at a low price to most people, and new techniques and distribution networks (as in not having to go through a production company necessarily), there’s a ton of talented and creative filmmakers and films. Yes there’s certainly like eras of certain trends that might not always appeal, but there’s usually something for someone. The classic independent film makers were working on a shoestring budget usually themselves, with a handheld consumer camera and amateur, sometimes completely untrained actors (intentionally more often than not). It’s about making the best with the tools youve got. And I’m sure the people using TF2/Source engine for this film are using the tools they have available to them! It’s basically like how conversion mods are, they’re budget indie game production exploiting the freely available tools and their own vision.
I suggest going to film events where students and amateur creators make movies. I don't know about America but we have that in Europe all the time and the movies by students are 99% of the time INFINITELY better than anything I've seen in modern cinema for the past 5 years (excluding a few modern masterpieces, course)
mainly chad btw...
Bro literally just watch modern low budget or Indie movies it's not that hard
It also shows what an amazing tool sfm is.
I just realized that the blue Demo doesn't make an appearance because Diazepam is fatal when mixed with alcohol
Soldier drinks, but he never took the pills himself
Intentional or not, the amount of detail in this story is absolutely fantastic, and I can't wait to see in-depth explanations for every little detail from every youtuber that does stuff like that.
holy shit
Bruh, that's cool.
but then he would've just respawned? Plus then why isn't a there blue sniper? or red spy? or red heavy? I think they just rolled with a "one of each" rule for this.
@@discipleofdagon8195nope, we see two medics, and engineers. They just didn’t want to stick up more characters than they could manage
@@baconboi4482 The two engies are just the brothers of the actual engie, but yeah there are 2 medics
The Demo died because he saw the "bar" sign when it was actually the laboratory, the scene when Demo takes a drink it's him spending his last moments with an old friend drinking, it was in his head because in reality Demo was just freezing to death, so instead of feeling that slow death he went inside his mind to have one last drink
I live how canotically when demo is not drunk he is oversell a nice guy to hang out with
given it reference to shinning a film with supernatural elements wouldn't say it all in his head, as he dying he in a weird limbo state where they meet at the purgatory mercs all wait for respawn but has option to with a chance to leave and preserve current life and stop himself freezing to death but unaware of it and loses that chance once the light behind him fades indicating he now dead and trap in bar till he is respawn again
It is a direct reference to Bar scenes in the Shining. The place is between Life and Death. Instead of leaving and waking up, Demo decides to drink, which kills him. Medic decides not to take pills, he doesn't wake up. The sequences, especially for medic, are long, because It's an eternity in there
he was also holding a grenade like how he was holding a drink
no he went to dells bar the same place medic went to it seems to be the place they go to while waiting to respawn
i love how much the darkness scared pyro yet he just kept staring into the abyss as if that would help
It's like a kid that scared of ghost's and "tries" to scare them by just glaring at a corner.
Definitely not speaking from experience, nothing there.
@@theant2266 That’s I what I did too lol. I just stare like “move I dare you”
@@theant2266 I remember doing that with hallucinations as a kid when I had a bad reaction to concerta. Just stared at shit until it went away lol
@@TheBanatter my friend has that sort of experience aswell, it's bizare to think other people kinda had the same thing
@@TheBanatter I use to hallucinate tall slender shadow people staring at me or sometimes moving slowly at night when I am in my room about to sleep at night. Thankfully, that stopped. They would normally be in corners, outside through my window, or my closet if it's open. I still hallucinate as an adult, but it's no longer a horror experience, just things darting in the corners of my eye which is easy to ignore unless I am driving.
1:54
The way the fucking MRI scan slowly turns towards you after they mention "Visual/Auditory Hallucinations" is just a taste of the Fortress Films team's genius grasp of horror.
I genuinely got scared
good scare without loud noise
OH F@CK!!!
It's so good.
For some reason, whenever i look at that i feel light-headed, and after i watched emesis blue i also felt light-headed, is it just me or are the symptoms on the screen showing could actually happen to you after watching it cause i cant really remember shit..
The grenade part was actually brilliant, cause when he pulled the pin it started applying pressure onto the demo's hand but his fingers were frozen. So eventually his hand just gave out and it triggered the grenade. Kind of botched the explosion itself but the grenade bit was clever. Also the pyro using his glove to burn the medic's face like the hot hand melee weapon? Super creative.
fr, i thought that the number of times characters got shot in the leg was a bit silly but other than that this film had some clever realism and creativity
I agree, when I first saw the grenade bit I was a bit confused, but on a rewatch I caught onto what happened and was like "damn that's clever asf"
If you didn´t know, the ´M´ symbol is from a german movie called M: The Vampire from Dusseldorf. The movie is about a child killer hunting a german town, and the residents deciding to form a manhunt in response.
The strategy was to watch for any kid playing at night to see if they were being followed by an unknown adult. Once they saw the suspect, one citizen marked him with an ´M´ letter on the back. I wont spoil the rest, but basically they put 2 references. One´s the symbol and the other is the movie the Scout was watching in his house.
huh I thought it was the other movie M (1931).It was the one at the cassette tapees. Someone on the original video proposed the idea and it kinda refers to Ludwig/Medic? idk just find it there.
@@secretuser6075 it is, that's the same movie.
Well also the plot of that movie is relevant to the story as well in multiple ways so spoilers if yo haven't seen it but...
In the film the killer has a habit of whistling the song in the hall of the mountain king, this is ultimately the reason he's caught bc a blind man recognized his voice. When scout is watch that movie he suddenly hears in the hall of the mountain king being whistled by someone. This pretty much proves the medic is the murderer bc he clearly knows the movie, it was his copy in the first place. Also at the end of M the killers defense when cornered by everyone is to say that he can't help but to murder children bc he is compelled by some force, and that he is paranoid of being shadowed and followed by himself just like literally every main character in emesis. However in emesis blue medic and soldier literally are being tailed by themselves the whole time and don't realize it until the end. Also the killer in M says that when he gets the urge to kill he blacks out, and he never remembers his murders. He only knows they happen bc when he comes to he is at the scene. And he later says he's shocked when reading the newspaper say what he supposedly did. Medic has blackouts whenever he kills as well, similarly coming back to in the post kill at the scene of the crime.
@@azechase6597 ahh ok thank you for the clarification
That scene with Scout’s mother was genuinely one of the best directed horror shots I’ve seen. The audio design, the lighting, the camerawork. It all coalesced into a scene that makes your heart drop into your stomach without any jumpscare needed.
And to think this was made using an animation engine from a 2007 cartoon fps game. The idea of horror based on casual video games has been tarnished over the last two decades by things like lame gaming creepypastas, but this blows all of that completely out of the water and shows that not only can it be done, but it can be done extremely well. For a little while I forgot I was even watching a TF2 SFM. Absolutely insane.
I also really like how this film is essentially an alternate timeline of the comics storyline, where the mercs get fired and have to find new work.
Second time i watched i saw the hand that was holding the head
The part with the head creeps me out every time I watch it. He just dropped the head showing the mom is dead and then he’s on the other side of the room before it cuts
the chess bit is amazing
I think the scene with the scout monster chasing soldier and demo might top it for me. It’s so fucking good
As well as the fact the film Scout stole was what he was watching.
Honestly when i watched it for the first time myself, i was honestly amazed by the quality of sfm and the story telling
@jgdekker no you're not 🤥🤥😠
My new favorite sfm, for sure
i thought it was funny how redmond and blutarch's models were so high quality
Same I was fucking dumbfounded
Yeah, I'm so happy he is covering this. That main channel video better release before petscop 2 lol
RE the spy's character '180'; burning alive is about the most painful thing a human can experience. looking at the horrendous disfigurement he had, i dont find it hard to believe spy would go completely mad from pain and loss of identity (losing your whole face would fuck with you more than you would think)
Beyond that pyro is just being dense as hell bc from the very beginning spy was bitter and angry idk what he's talking about. The whole time he's only talking about how much he hates soldier and that he has to work with him, even threatening him at gunpoint to make him go away bc he doesn't want him around. He also is constantly bitching about the job and it going to shit more and more. The fire was just a catalyst to push the way he already was, to the next level.
Wondering how his ass got burnt to a crisp in 3 seconds, not very realistic tbh it should just be some minor burns atleast compared to how he turned out in the film.
@aarepelaa1142 I mean he WAS covered in gas from earlier. Makes him look pretty stupid for lighting up a cigarette haha
I think he is also the one that shoots the monitor when Archibald is talking on the phone. Aka he has heard his call and found out that Archibald was playing both sides for profit the entire time and either wasn't even "kidnapped" initially but hiding out, or flat out pretending to stall the situation ("Kidnapped? What gave you that idea?"), meaning that all Spy went through was for nothing. Of course he'd be pissed.
@@shards-of-glass-man That makes most sense, and I suspected the same ^^. Had archibald actually been innocent and kidnapped, I believe he wouldn't have had such a big dynamic change, unlike whats shown from him "suffering through the worst just to realize it was pointless"
Shows how much pyro knows about tf2. The heavy is actually one of the smartest mercenary's on the team but due to the language barrier he is seen as stupid.
I like how pyro is always joking how easy it is to rocketjump and play as a soldier in general but his favorite class is fucking pyro.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the irony in that
Pot meeting kettle
judging by the incident, the last 2 words are his favorite pastime too
At least with Soldier you have to actually aim your weapon, even if it's just in the general direction of the enemy.
With Pyro you just hold left click while running at the enemy.
The scariest shit in TF2 is a class which can track, but the absolutely most horrifying thing is a heavy or pyro who can track targets perfectly.
Being a part of the SFM crew was truly a great experience, seen the Fortress Films community grow from scratch, seeing new people volunteer on helping, truly made you believe that this community isn't as toxic as you once thought!
Good day :)

I can't believe anyone has pointed this out yet. At 09:26 when Past Scout is talking about "The feeling of being watched" , you can see the silhouette of Future Medic watching Past Medic and Past Scout from the curtain behind them. Past Medic even reactively looks over there, only for Future Medic to have hidden before he gets noticed.
When I first got to 1:32:58 only to see that Future Medic was the one causing all the ruckus to the Past Scout and Past Medic, not in a million years did I think they would actually have put that detail in the beginning (that you actually can see Future Medic before the time loop scenario was introduced) but it just shows the attention to detail this movie offers!
Literal masterpiece. It's such a shame that Saxxys aren't a thing anymore, Emesis Blue would have gotten it WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Thank you for keeping SFM movies alive!
I know, it’s amazing. I saw someone else who had brought this up and I had to check back, and sure enough you can see it. I love this SFM
well duh nobody brought it up its so fucking hard to see that i dont even know what youre talking about
Would you mind telling me where? I have been comparing the 2 scenes for 5 minutes and can't find it. If that is the case though, it just shows the amount of work put into this. I love when films do this. You can easily do the trope of, "he was there the whole time. You just can’t seem them." Its not fun though because when you look back there is nothing there to assume that. Examples of this are Humpty Dumpty from Puss in Boots and that police officer from Fast X. But then there is the scenes where you do put the character subtlely in the background and when you are told they were there, you look back and you suprise yourself. A greta example of this is Death from Puss in Boots and the Last Wish
@@complex2live Sure thing. At precisely 9:24 - 9:26, while Scout is talking about getting the feeling of being "watched", a shadowy figure appears to be peeking out behind the sheet next to Medic. The shadowy figure is only for about a second but he is there long enough for the Medic to react to it, instinctively turning his head to see if the shadowy figure was really there or if it was just a figment of his imagination. As the shadowy figure is gone, he continues talking to Scout without mentioning it because, at least in my opinion, he does not want to seem crazy to Scout or because he doesn't want to acknowledge that he might be crazy himself. This shadowy figure turns out to actually be himself, watching his older self talk to Scout as seen at 1:33:00 . You can actually see the Medic that is talking to the Scout turn his head towards the sheet and continuously glance over at the sheet that the Medic is hiding behind because he sensed that there was somebody there, because there really was someone there. Himself. That's also the reason why the tapes got knocked over, because the Future Medic could somehow interact with the Past Medic and Past Scout. Hope that helps.
@Chiefshielda oh crap I think Is ee it now. When Scout says if he ever feels like he is being watched I now realize that the sheet moves slightly. Thanks for pointing that out. When I watched it originally I could tell something was making Medic immediately contradict Scout that someone was watching him. So perhaps, it wasn't that Ludwig was thinking Scout knew too much, but most likely because he thought someone else was in the room. Great eye

18:45 the animation is incredible asf, but can we take a second to think about how instantly recognizable TF2's characters are? valve has mastered graphic design so well that even when their figure is cloaked in darkness, u can still tell it's probably the spy underneath
Hey, could you go post this comment on the original film so the crew can see it?

The Medic survived because of his passive regen. That was established way back after Manyard Conagher shot him with a sawn off double barrel. It healed right back after 1-2 mins. So him taking a day or two to come back to life after a bullet straight through the brain isn't that unexplainable of an event. A lot of people have survived after a gunshot from the lower jaw. There's was even the case of a lady who got shot in the head by her husband who then committed suicide seconds later. Miraculously, after a few minutes, the lady stood back up with a mild headache and made herself tea as the paramedics and police burst through the house door. The officers were in shock as the lady with a bullet hole in her head and blood covering most of her clothes offers to make them tea also.
Must have just barely survived with 1 hp.
Can you please explain this movie bc I didn’t understand anything
He healed with the souls of the other mercenaries which he got in the comics, that’s why it didn’t take long for him to heal and why he had different eyes and behaviour afterwards
Everyone's assuming he has actual TF2 powers but I'm pretty sure he came back because of the portable respawn machine that was in the room both times he died.
@@Brainwave101 to be fair soldier can still rocket jump and the pyro (masked guy) took an extreme beating by multiple people before being decapitated by medic
Not enough people talk about 1:37:24, when Demoman is staring at Soldier when he goes to pull the pin, rather than staring dead ahead like before. I love that it shows his face multiple times just to be able to notice such a small change when it happens
I remember watching Spy's Disguise years ago. It was a funny concept turned really good horror by the end. After watching Emesis Blue, it is a perfect blend of the canon team personalities and a bizzare, terrifying horror setting based on the respawn machine. This SFM doesn't only deserve a Saxxy. It deserves a fucking Emmy!!!
Agree, the respawn system horror concept really underrated in sfm
@Hoovy Simulator 2I think some people noticed already but the medic at the end of spy’s disguise is the same medic here, we see him putting on a cross and the one in spy’s disguise also does have a cross
my fav part about this is how they kill off half of the main characters at moments that make you think they're still alive, it gives you a sense of danger as any character could die at any moment
not even half, MOST of the main characters died except soldier
@@Zilly. you're right, yea
@@ButterfreeYummy all of them BUT him
i mean they did die but to be fair like half of them ended up coming back at some point. Not a complaint tho as there's a reason for most if not all of them. Medic and stalingrad heavy had the portable respawn briefcase, and i think pyro is somewhat of a michael myers reference so he's more of a force of nature than a person until his head is chopped off.
21:15, the lighting nailed that short, horrific scene, just a head peaking around the corner with its features obscured by shadow, I love it.
I definitely think that DELL'S counts as a representation of death/the afterlife, if not then kind of a play on the Greek "Charon" - or the guide to the afterlife. Both the demo and medic arrived there.
Either way, Dell's is definitely what the people were talking about when they said "it's eternity down there". First it's Dell, who the cast seem to know - though not medic - then he sees the funny British man, then he sees Scout before his death is confirmed.
In the audio clip that plays talking about the respawn machine and the effects of death, "You see people down there. Some of them you know, most you don't. It's eternity down there."
I think that the medic killing himself was either a hallucination of sorts on the part of the soldier and spy, or whatever happened when he got killed the first time happened again, and some psychotic alter-ego took over, he pocketed that alter to full health, popped uber and burst out of the coffin. Then, whatever he was talking wore off, or whatever caused all of it stopped, and the accident killed him for real. Maybe the diazapam (or what BLU calls diazapam) is an experimental drug that is causing all of the weird occurrences on medic's end.
Plus, gotta say - unless there's a sequel, then the show left off without showing the Intel. That means that the Intel is literally just the briefcase McGuffin from Pulp Fiction.
Charon from Tacticool
Hey pyro, about the death of the demo; we see during the transition from soldier to the broken lab sign saying " b a r " where we see the demo talking to the engie. Later we see soldier in the cold room full of clones and the frozen demo, it was probably the case that he saw the bar sign during a moment of delusion (like they all had at that time) walked in, and froze to death before coming to his senses
Also it seems like another reference to the Shining
Labratory or B a r. The lights are broken and I think in one of the shots you can see the bar sign going turning into labratory.
The frozen demo has an arm and his eye if I recall correctly
I didn't recall correctly
@@breebsnot really that was in his dream state he imagined himself with a arm and a other eye.
I think what needs to be elaborated more is Color Theory.
In many themes and scenes, Soldier, Fritz, and the Spy have different colored eyes based on their intentions.
They switch from Blu and Red to Grey. Or just straight on red.
Something to think about.
The stark color lighting is incredible! It reminds me of Suspiria or Inferno.
Definitely agree. Medic in most if not all scenes where his face is in scene, one side is red and one is blue
@@breebsthe whole split red and blue thing with medic is actually his alter ego. There is one side who is normal and timid while the other side is a cold murdurous killing machine. The red and blue part is either the split between both his personalities. This psycho personality takes place when medic kills the congher brothers and when he kills spy. The physical representation of his psycho ego is the plague doctor.
I think that the grey coloured characters like the engie twins, the one legged sniper and the long scout are supposed to be defects of the respawn machine that have formed this cult, that is why they all of creepy physical defects
1:48:03 he was literally a bitter POS the entire film IDK what pyro is talking about here. He blames soldier for blowing up his car/ evidence when spy is clearly the one who knocked the rocket launcher from his hands causing the missfire, and blames soldier for not saving him when he literally had no opportunity to do so, ignoring the fact that he saved his life earlier, and when refuted only claims that he's always hated him, which IS true, and unfair. It isnt the first time hes insulted / threatened the soldier for next to nothing.
One of my favourite things about Emesis Blue is the fact that, despite it being a psychological horror based animation, they still manage to work in some of that classic TF2 zaniness without detracting from the tension and horror. Really shows that the creators aren't just immensely talented, but also massive fans of the source material. Massive dub
Can't wait for Pyro to post a video on Emesis Blue on his main channel! This animation totally deserves a thorough review and more attention. Never seen a SFM horror this masterfully crafted before.

if you're wondering why medic keeps regenerating and bringing himself back to life once he dies is because in the lore, medic sold his original soul to the devil and surgically put all of his teammates souls (8) in his body. so in a nutshell, medic is literally satan himself and basically immortal, hence why he keeps having pshycotic episodes and has the urge to kill everyone.
Yeh thats what i was thinking
But wasn't that a red medic who sold his soul, because this is blue med

Emesis Blue is a prime example of how gracefully the Source engine has aged when you consider that the engine is almost two decades old.
Honastly, it wasn't the engine. For what I heard it might actually be one of the worst 3D animation engines out there, with the nonsensical bugs
@Matt I am talking about sfm. Should be corrected tho, that sfm is a software not a engine
@Matt if you want to learn about the shit show sfm turn into, would recommend you to watch lazy purple video on the engine
@Henrique Medrano Silva That's what makes Emesis Blue all the more impressive. Yes, this very well could've been made in something like Blender or Maya, and maybe could've looked better, but the fact that it looks this good on an engine so old and being held together in the way it is, you can't help but find that damn impressive.
The fact that A FILM was made entirely in sfm is worthy of praise by itself. The fact that its this incredibly good is just insane. Something like this will not happen again, so lets enjoy it.
I’m not so sure about that. The tf2 community is full of some of the most amazing and creative people I’ve ever seen.
I actually think the opposite might happen. Sure, this is a one-of-a-kind film that can't be imitated - but I think the fact that something like this even got made and had such a huge and positive reception could inspire other aspiring independent filmmakers and animators to try to make their own SFM movies, telling their own stories.
I love how even without the references to tf2, the whole film is almost Tarintino esque with his auteur style, the title cards for each chapter, the non linear and experimental narrative, and even the way Tarinto lifts scenes directly and indirectly from movies he loves. It all feels very Tarintino and I love it

It’s heavily implied that the plague doctor is the blue medic. Personally I think he’s the blue medic after respawning at the end of the film and going back in time. And it would also make sense why scout freaked out at the sight of blue medic if they’re the same person.
2:00:18 Actually the medic also experienced the time loop when he watched the checkup of scout and knocked over the box of VHS tapes.
I love how pyro says that soldier takes the least amount of skill when he is literally a pyro main
Hey airblast requires at least 3 braincells.
Says you shoot a few rockets and get a whole kill feed meanwhile pyro holds M1 and gets the entire enemy team.
@@cole5953 Depends on if they have crits. As a pyro main I’ve discovered W+M1 is best used as a last resort, against unaware enemies, against low HP enemies, or against other W+M1 pyros. Flamethrower is best used as a finisher to your secondary.
pyro mains that complain about soldier either use phlog or just straight up don't know how to airblast
@@neevko267 yeah I don’t know many pyro mains that complain about projectile classes. My only grip is that stickies are annoying whether you know how to airblast or not
Idk if anyones said this before, but my theory for Emesis Blue is that all the main characters got respawned. It would explain the timeloop thats going on. Its why Medic and Soldier are constantly seeing themselves but everyone else doesnt. Everyone story is linear while Medics and Soldiers loop with constantly running into themselves due to crossing paths with their respawned selves constantly
This would work if Soldier and Medic weren't literally the only two characters that wouldn't respawn.
Medic has the ability to regenerate, shown twice before the end, and when he does die, he's essentially stuck in hell, forced to respawn and get killed by the fire over and over again.
Soldier is a clone. Therefore he's expendable. Therefore he wouldn't respawn.
@@ryantalley5284 medic is shown dead at the end, which would prompt a respawn
@@tencents49 read the "and when he does die" part again.
The fact that this SFM film was made without a budget by a group of people and is better than any modern multi-million dollar film nowadays is awesome.
There is an Easter egg at 1:02:32 the soldier with the hole in the chest is a reference to meet the pyro
Also the red demonman and the blue soldier helping each other makes sense canonically because they are friends in the comics at some point
Yep and they always have to lie about it like there's even domination voice lines for like soldier says some insult at the demo and then say call me later I want to hear about your day
bro...
that's just the zombie Soldier model from the Scream Fortress misc. cosmetics...
Yeah, the hole in the chest is just the default scream fortress model
TF2 SFM animators are a gem brought to this world
Works like Emesis Blue and everything from cen0 are amazing
Pootis engage extreme is one of the best videos on the internet, it makes me unreasonably happy that it exists
and also emesis blue is incorporating smary usages of aspect ratio changes for cinematic atmospheres, sfm community is evolving
Don't forget the winglet spy series especially "live and let spy" and "the red, the blu, the ugly"
gotta mention the criminally underrated crash maul tf2 series, got some of the best sfm fight scenes ever to exist
Very cool how pyro takes someones passion project that took years to make and just reuploads it on his channel very brave
Yep lol
he was making fun of this kinda people for reacting and adding nothing a few years back lmao
@@based7465 he still committed the same social sins as them here
This took the guys at Fortress Films approximately 4 years to make. I was there for about 3 years, and seeing their efforts just be taken by some guy with a much larger platform is painful.

When the revived heavy said "Builder's League", I am pretty sure that it was a reference to the Nemesis from Resident Evil who says "Stars" when he meets the protagonist.
The demoman died by freezing in the cryo lab most likely because he mistook it for a bar, or rather hallucinated and did not actually know where he was.
I like how there are near zero jumpscares in this web film.
There are some, kinda
Except they're not just "loud = scary", and they're actually just "blink and you'll miss it" scary
@@neevko267 It's a psychological horror movie so I believe "loud = scary" clichés don't really fit in here.
@@neevko267 they aren’t because they don’t have a stinger
@@t.y2974 jumpscares don't need stingers, they just need to make you jump
it just so happens that sudden loud nooses are the easiest (and cheapest) way to make someone jump
I still can’t believe that we have an actual just straight up movie made in sfm, I think this is the first time I’ve seen a feature length animation come out of the program and to have it be this quality is insane.
For free btw
Something similar came out of the content creation community for LittleBigPlanet 3 where someone made an entire 1 1/2 hour comedy movie that around the half way point turns into an actual tention filled film, it's nuts (mostly goofy, but it's really well done)
This is basically what years without an update does to a playerbase, they get absolutely creative.
The movie played on Scout's tv was M, a film about a serial killer who kidnaps and murders children. The thing is you aren't aware of the killer's appearance, only his shadow, and the tune he whistles which is used to find him in the end alongside the mark of m. Very interesting.
Pyro casually dooming himself and his entire fanbase at 1:00:29
Spies disguise actually ties in with emsis blu. It’s only a minor thing, like the respawns and we get to meet who the engineers friend who died was
I remember seeing Spys disguise a while ago, and the respawn aspect of it was definitely on my mind when watching Emesis Blu.
I cannot see any replies, even though CZcams says there is one 🤔
@King Henry Yeah CZcams does this sometimes, and I guess it happened to my comment. So here is what I said:

Explanation : The Corporal saw Archibald on camera talking on the payphone. He deduced that this whole "kidnapping" thing was just a way for the VIP's fat ass to run off and let the water cool before going back to be re-elected. This rescue mission had no stakes, the corporal was tortured, beat, shot, and burnt to a crisp for Archibald and all for what? Just to find out everything was a lie. So he shot the security tv with the revolver in a fit of rage and rushed over to confront Archibald.
The soldier screaming after Stalingrad died is oddly fitting, considering the fact that he’s probably exhausted
I'm glad pyro is supporting the creator of the sfm by re-uploading the entire video.
The sfm is awesome, well deserved.
I hope this is a joke
As much I am not the hugest fan of reacting content, this one was the thing that pushed me to watch the original.
Watched the reaction for 20 minutes, stopped and watched the original
he's actually providing discussion and a proper reaction though, which is actually entertaining. after watching the original, i went back and watched this just to see him react to it. reaction content is no different from any other kind of content, there's good and bad in it.
@@cr1tikal_arcsame and also as someone who never wached anything simular to this i didnt even realize there were ment to be any references
@@cr1tikal_arc Agreed, the bit of Pyro talking about TikTok emojis really changed my view of Emesis Blue.
1:58:58 Correct me if i'm wrong but the sound they used is a twisted around Aztec death whistle, it's absolutely terrifying to hear
Depending on the size of the whistle, it can make that exact sound without effects, so yeah, I agree, truly terrifying.
Yep, I think I can pull up the exact video that they used
the briefcase is a respawn machine btw every time the medic died he was closest to it
Let's say, hypothetically, I am a barbie girl. Okay let's even say I'm in a barbie world.

I saw this film in a Steam workshop post and it had like 2 comments, so I called in some friends to watch it, thinking it was some obscure SFM content, little did we know it had been out for only 2 days and it was absolutely magnificent
I have high hopes that this film reaches far beyond people involved in tf2 community in any way. It's an incredible production that definitely deserves to stand on it's own and needs to be experienced by the masses
I love how in the sfm soldier doesnt let spy shoot the dying sniper because in ww2 troops were trained to let enemies dying of blood loss to bleed out so they can conserve ammo
Just makes me love this sfm even more
One of the videotapes at the starts reads "Der König in Gelb" which means "The King in Yellow", Hastur, a living eldritch entity that usually gifts intellectuals with occult knowledge and a sigil of his to give 'em psychic powers, but at the end they all go crazy and die.
Pyro saying an hour and 48 minute video was too long was maybe not the best way to start his 2 hour and 22 minute video
Watched this SFM with a group of friends of mine at night, Amazing as hell and honestly made me question my sanity and the fabric of reality several times
If the Saxxy awards were still a thing, this would've definately been atleast nominated
Wait its not anymore???

So is it a horror movie short?
@@CasperVonGhoul "short" it's actually over an hour long lmao
Even though spy ended up being the most malicious one in the main cast, the phrase “I’m the only sane man here” is technically true considering he was the only character who didn’t hallucinate, he was very badly injured but instead of losing sanity in the butcher house it was instead just pure spite and bitterness that got the best of him.
Everyone always says soldier is the one with the most mental fortitude but honestly I think spy fits that role better since there weren’t many times he was truly scared.
Of course if we’re talking about the actual characters soldier is obviously the one with the most mental fortitude purely because of how deranged he is
Also I’m not saying he’s sane or anything considering he did the stupidest choice ever by playing Russian roulette with the guy who he framed as a murderer and his colleague who “left him to die”
1:59:22 the fact that they didnt even show a direct threat, yet it still conveys such a sense of dread shows how good this is made
This video has thrown the Pyrocynical subreddit into chaos, just so you know. They are going through a really large “he fell off” event right about now.
Why?
@@nooneimportant2002 the pyro subreddit for a while has disliked the low effort nature of pyro reacting to a sunny v2 vid etc, but this seems to be the catalyst. mainly because pyro basically just a two hour reupload of the Film with some commentary put in between. I would reccomend watching the film on the original creators channel and if you want, watch pyros vid after for some commentary
@@ballsballs i did watch the original before watching this tho. Am a Tf2 fan. But thx for explaining the Subreddit thing to me.

@@ballsballs I mean he's gonna watch the movie anyways for a main channel video. Why not stream it? Anything that makes Pyro more money so that he can put out main channel vids is a win in my book.

The bar with the engineer is meant to represent the afterlife I think, because when the demoman froze to death he also saw the bar. That's why the medic, the engineer that he killed, Archibald, and scout were all there, and why the medic seemed so happy. Cuz he gets to spend the rest of eternity with like his only friend the scout. The picture at the end shows their friendship
Apart from the fact I had like no clue what was happening the entire time, it was amazingly made and I hope they make more.
I also would enjoy a main channel video just so I can know what the hell happened.
Emesis Blue is probably the best horror film I've watched in a while
Starting to think of watching more horror films. Just watched this one and the thing, and those are some fucking bangers

Honestly, Emesis Blue had opened the flood gates to all sorts of SFM films! We may get action, mystery, drama, hell even more horror! I can’t wait to see what the community does with such inspiration, ah what the heck, feel free to pitch your own feature length SFM film in the replies below!
You'd be surprised that Action has definitely been given to us a lot for quite some time.
CrashMaul, Pootis Engage and etc.
@@fenrirsrage4609 that’s fair, but I was talking about more feature length stuff.
I've seen a lot of feature length SFM's, and surprisingly a few of them are actually TF2 or FNAF-focused. It's pretty impressive with how long these SFMs are, especially considering that its literal torture to animate with.
Pretty sure there are plently of action and comedy stuff out there, perhaps just not in movie length.
you've become the very thing you swore to destroy
what i love about the references is that even tough its obvious they are referencing something, they were all integrated organicly into the narrative that it felt like it made sense in the story. It wasnt something that destroyed your immersion
Yes more people need to talk about this, they deserve saxxy’s as well but valve and the pentagon known as France have both died so we don’t get any more of those (tf2 reference, Gottem)
Pyro: (0:55) “I think this is some kind of a *goofy* SFM.”
Those who have seen Spy in Disguise:👀
This was an absolute masterpiece
Also a few things I noticed, the shining reference in demo's dream(?) says it's eternity in there, which is also what the guy at the beginning says when coming outta the respawn and the credits song, idk if the melody is used like a lot or something but I personally know it as "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht"
Btw the engineers in the intel room weren't the engineer you can play as ingame. The playable engineer is named Dell (he's actually mentioned in that scene). Those are his brothers (i forgot their names). Dell is already dead in this movie, him being the bartender at Dell's, which is like the afterlife of this universe.
This is definitely one of the most impressive films made using SFM. Absolutely fantastic work by Fortress Films.
Something small to note: it's entirely possible that the briefcase itself contained nothing more than a bottle of Emesis Diazapem.
This seemingly innocuous medication was likely given to respawn failure victims in order to quail their growing mental instability following their traumatic respawn incidents. In other words, it is a medication to help those that will never recover properly be able to sleep.
On that final drive, the medication seems to finally kick in, and put Ludwig to sleep, killing him. The bar he finds full of dead people, the three Conagher brothers, Archibald, and the Scout is evidence enough of that. When he stares into the bathroom mirror, he's holding the physical bottle of ED, and we can draw a parallel to him opening the briefcase in the real world and taking the bottle out, downing it all at once.
With the slaughterhouse respawn machine destroyed, and his tie to the mortal world severed, the doctor finally dies... and enters the "other side".
It's so cool just how many theories this film has inspired, I am super excited to see what Pyro has to say about it in his review.
Ooooo I really like that theory
This is a great homage to horror films/media. Been meaning to catch Pyro streaming as he needs to play SIGNALIS, amazing horror game with references to older horror games. The gameplay itself is like the old Resident Evil games. The game would be right up his street and probably warrant a video breakdown.
And the whole all in le head
@@terminal9660depending on the in interpretation it could be in le head, in le multiple heads, or the whole of reality actually getting fucked by the thoughts of le head, and I'd love to see Pyro go crazy trying to decipher it and find the "true" cannon

Pyro pausing every 5 second extends the video to 2 hours from watching a 1 hour movie
A 1 hour and 48 minute movie. It is only like 12 minutes off being 2 hours. And he brought it up to an additional 22 minutes so he added more or less 34 minutes to the movies runtime wich is a respectible amount of content on top of the movie. Wich means for every 3 minutes of film he added about an extra minute of poused reaction. Also it is not an entire extra hour like you claim
Interesting fact, heavy has several PhD‘s in Russian literature
I love how this was able to fit in all these references and still manage to make an intense movie.
Soldier: does nothing
Pyrocynical: “that’s unrealistic soldier would immediately kill everyone and win on his on because he’s overpowered”
imagine watching the entire thing without pausing every 5 seconds to discuss what he saw in the last 5 seconds.
sfms like this show how alive and passionate the community is for Team Fortress 2
25:28 Is so well timed by accident

@@zestycrunchman602 idk man, literally pauses to say either "this is reference to blank" or "soldier bad, game funny" and also looking shit up on Google is not really adding much. The commentary he has on what's actually happening isn't much either bc he's kind of just dense.
