Not so fun fact, Taylor Hickson has a scar on her face from breaking that glass on the door. She wears it well, but the director shouldn't have made her do that.
I came to say the same thing . It wasn’t safety glass and he kept pushing her to bang harder. It took 70 stitches and left significant scar I believe she sued after.
Oh my God. What an asshole. I work in film for a living and I've heard of some directors asking too much of actors, thankfully I'm an audio engineer so the worst I get is bad deadlines but Jesus, I hope she was compensated at the very least.
I remember seeing her in Deadly Class - her scar kinda went along with her badass character.
That's shitty. What an awful director.
@@meghanhixon3241 oftentimes people who create this sick shit are terrible people.
I think Beth and her sister survived but Beth is completely broken. Reality and fantasy has become mixed together in her mind
Reminds me a bit on what happened to Alice's mind in Alice Madness Returns.
Wonderland and the real world fused together as they were the last parts to survive and stay whole. Making a new world for her.
But only she can see it.

I think there was something up with Beth to begin with as well that the rest of her family could see in her….although by the end she is also strangely aware of that part of herself too.
Actually to me that means she's not broken but she's finally better. Leave better. She used to prefer her fantasy and her sister even said she needed a reality check. Now it seems she's strong enough to finally make her fantasies into reality.
This movie is one of the grittiest gut punch films I've ever seen. Watching it made me feel like this is what audiences must've felt seeing the original Texas Chainsaw back in the 70's
Yeah I couldn’t sit and watch the girls’ be tortured
Oh no I haven’t finished the review oh no
Honestly Hereditary will always be that for me. It has to this day the single most shocking death in cinema to me as well as pure, unfiltered anguish of the family after it
@@camerongrondzki2716 The abrupt halting of everything right after the car scene felt like an eternity. One of the best moments in cinematic history!
Lake Mungo is a must watch for people like me that believe in the super natural and greater forces outside our control. I don't like murder or torture movies because I always carry a big iron on my hip and wonder why the victims didn't.
I have not seen the movie, but I am left to wonder if any of the dolls are dolls, but if they are other kept or dead children, who she views as dolls because she is only focusing on herself and her sister, and the other children are just background to them. This could explain some of their movements, talking, and watching her leave.
this is exactly what i thought too!! especially because the dolls faces looked exactly like theirs did.
Oh I didn't think of all this but yall are so right
Where could we look to find out ?
I now feel like the dolls could actually be other girls (seen as dolls in her fantasy/reality daze) but the problem I have with that is this is supposed to be the aunts house. So either the killers got them even before the movie started and the drive was also not real (which is why one said to the other she wouldnt be able to handle the story in the news paper) Or it would seem as if the killers where squatters at the aunts place (maybe the aunt isn't even real and she just needed something in her mind as to where they were going after being kidnapped) Not making them a target in the 1st place. They really didn't come after them for flipping them off. The killers were just coming to what the killers were calling home at the time. She didn't see signs of people possibly living there because she was in her fantasy daze then as well? I say this from having lived in a place far out like this which makes it very easy to hear someone driving up to this house. There were way to many things that made it seem like the killers were very familiar with this house.
Yes, thats the answer. She makes them dolls in her mind to deal with the trauma of seeing other children get r*ped.
I thought this too! Especially at the end when she is being wheeled out and she sees the "dolls" in cages and who have obviously been subjected to torture (one has a bag wrapped around it's head)
On one hand, movies like these are good because they put into perspective some kinds of trauma and horrors that exist in real life. It's an interesting way to display reality but through exaggerated film. On the other hand though, I can't think of a lot of people who would subject themselves to a movie like this. You just *feel* bad after watching it. There's no spooky, iconic figure or some crazy supernatural force, it's just a harsh reminder that people in real life go through similar things and have to live with that forever, assuming they don't just end it all.
I agree, it’s a well made movie but a little too real for my taste
It's entertainment and part of the fun comes from separating fiction from fact. Not to mention, horror movies love using believable settings and plotlines as basis for the movie's story.
It's quite a common thing horror movies have been doing for years. Taking the familiar and making it something to fear.
I agree the story is pretty fucked up and a little depressing but I think there were a lot worse horror movies that have grislier things happen to the protagonists.
Then there's that the story is a pretty exaggerated version of unlikely to happen events.
I fail to see how someone could check out to such a extreme extent? I’ve seen the very extremes of the human condition as well as worked with others who dealt with things that make me physically unwell to even think about let alone survive and yet neither I nor they completely loss touch with reality. I know people can actually have a complete disassociations but how is something I fail to understand.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus The reality blocking that Beth does in the movie is completely impossible voluntarily I think.
The movie is trying to depict her giving up and daydreaming a better reality.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus We know it happens. You not being able to imagine it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. In most situations like this, we simply wouldn’t get the exact psychological experience of any given person, but we know extreme trauma can very easily cause disassociation from reality.
This movie shook me to my core. I couldn’t help but think of the all girls who were held captive for years and years subjected to unimaginable tortures. One case in particular comes to mind is the Cleveland abductions of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus. When asked how Michelle managed to stay sane and hopeful all those years and she said she escaped deep within her own mind. God bless anyone who’s experienced this 🙏🏽
Maybe God shouldn't have let them experience those traumas to begin with. 🤷🏻♀️
@@englishatheart
God brings about the goodness within and unfortunately the devil arrives first and never takes breaks, these acts were of demonic entities (mental illness, sado-sadistic torture, pain, suffering)…
@@englishatheart What does this have to do with what she said?
You're literally asking for drama
Yeah, just girl victims right.. not the other .35% of kidnapping victims that are boys.. yeah just the girls! Screw those boys right? Who cares!.. seriously I’ll never understand why you ladies seem to think bad stuff ONLY happens to one gender. It’s honestly sickening. Your sentiment is nice, however you either lack the knowledge of the statistics or simply just don’t care about males be them adult or children. Your misandrist is showing heavy
@@unhallowed45 and you… leave your dumb religious beliefs out of this. If your god was real to begin with, none of this could be possible to begin with. Stop with your long winded excuses for why he can’t or doesn’t do anything.. it’s pitiful.. we need to fix our situations ourselves, not wait for some man on a cloud to do it.
Mom was running on straight adrenaline after those stab wounds 💀 knew the kids were in danger and her body said “we’re fine keep going”
“I didn’t hear no bell.”
It never crossed my mind that the ending couldn't be real! Maybe it was my wishful thinking hoping these kids would make it out and live. I knew Beth was broken seeing her dead mom and the dolls waving to her (maybe they were past victims?), but it just crossed my mind with the dolls caged outside.
Outside is her cage, but the house is her freedom. In the house, she only sees her mom. And the dolls come to life inside of the house...
So, I see it as three possible endings:
1. The entire movie after entering the house is just Vera's story / imagination. Vera was the one who narrated the story, and everything is from her perspective. We don't know if anyone ever did show or appeared. This would explain all the inconsistency.
2. They are still trapped and/or are probably dead and the ending is the last few moments of life before she is sent away in her dream like state.
3. They really did escape and there are hints as to how and why. First, if we assume that there really are killers on the loose, its possible they are being tracked down by the police since their actions are recorded. Vera's mental state from there on forward makes sense and we can allow the events to keep going from there. We can then assume that people know the mother and daughters are visiting a certain house, but never responded or left the house since. It appears that a good period of time elapsed since then as the sister knows the woman and man's actions at this point, as evidence by how beat up she is. The sisters escaping also isn't too out of question as there are items the girl can use to hurt and incapacitate the man. And, her creative mind would know how to distract the woman and escape. It all appears more possible as its not as much as conveniences as they are possibilities. The sisters being able to escape is real and finding police officers isn't that out of question as the sisters could have been walking along the side of the road for a while until officers took notice and pulled over. The movie can then shoot it as if we are uncertain if its apart of the dream or real world, but the actions and possibility are way more realistic, especially when the men get shot and the girls are forced to return. This was what made the ending feel more real and possible. There is a possibility that the men survived and called for backup or the police force noticed they were missing and sent officers to the area. Since the house door never appears to always be closed, and there was a lot of racket coming from upstairs, I'd assume an officer would come in (gun drawn) to assess the situation. Seeing two grown people assaulting little girls is cause for alarm. Then, as the girls are being sent away, we know that the type writer is outside on the ground, so I'd assume the mom and glass window are what is a dream. She could dream that part of the house was not broken as it would go against how she sees her mom. Nothing is wrong when her mom is in the picture. Her mom beat the bad guys, took care of her sister, gives her encouragement, and the area around the mother looks fresh, good, new, and as if there are no problems.
But, I'm leaning towards the first one because that one feels silly. : D
@@rewt3406 the unreliable narrator? Yeah, it is the best theory
@@rewt3406 Vera or Beth? Bc Beth is the writer after all
WELL I THINK THIS MOVIE WAS FAKE AF
@@MrEquusQuagga i mean, it is a movie tho
Man, this movie was brutal, and the twist midway was a shocker!
At 15:20 you mention the portrait is of their father, but wouldn't it make more sense for it to be the husband she had in the fantasy, and thus the Jester painting being her child?
All of that is heavily alluded to by her dream-mother praising her ability to create worlds; she even had herself fooled.
Agreed. 1st thing I thought when I saw the pic was *hubby & child* ,,not father as he alluded to
I’m surprised he didn’t make that assumption but rather a father we have had no info or visual to at all.
It was obviously the husband and son. Haha I don't know how he got that obvious one wrong.
I also thought that was her husband. Didn't think about the jester being her son though. I totally see it now!
I think the ending is reality, when the window breaks in the fantasy. It is actually the mirror, her subconscious was trying to pull her from the fantasy. The window/mirror is her look back at herself. Her subconscious is telling her to fight and survive. The cops that got killed reported that it was the family and that it was the house that is the only one around. That explains how they knew where to go, and the killer didn't look like the kind of killers who clean up there murder. Meaning that they left the dead cops and car on the road that leads right to the house.
yup you are damn right. That is exactly what I feel too.
My thoughts too.
I was thinking exactly the same!
I think they both survived because before the state troopers were shot down the one radioed in for back up. They didn’t make it that far from the house so when back up arrived they would’ve seen the troopers dead and would’ve found the house easily
In my opinion it’s made very clear that the real events are twisted by her fantasies. So even if they did find them, things didn’t play out as shown. So it’s very likely that they were put into the candy truck instead of an ambulance.
I honestly feel like from the moment you see them in the car, we are in beths fantasy. The reason why her mother was consistently acting like her poo smelled like roses. And even when vera and their mother had a private moment it ended with her yelling about how she loved beth more. I Also believe that from the moment vera was dragged away she was murdered and her mother tried to help save her child and died as well, not being able to deal with this recreated them in her mind. Her mother and sister then became like her voices of reasoning in her current situation her mother trying to keep her safe in the fantasy pleading for her to stay and not listen to vera, and vera forcibly pulling her out and back into reality to fight and win. I dont think the house they were going to was her aunts her brain manifested that lady giving that by the book exposition like her mind is writing a book. I dont know the timeline of how long they were kidnapped for but the house looked completely different and the random cages with dolls, I can only assume those are other kids but its easier for beth to see them as dolls. I can't help but wonder if the other dolls she was lined up with were also children. I do think Beth was saved but she put all the coincidental stuff in there when she was saved to help her feel better that she didn't or couldn't help her sister when she originally died ( again like writing a book). So at the end when she says I love you to Vera was that really Vera? Was it just another kid was there only one stretcher and beth made up the second one for closure idk there is alot to think about.
This is a nice take but if it were to be the truth the director should've provided more evidence hinting such.
I think the ending is just more straightforward than not, aside from the non broken window the type writer supposedly was thrown out of... although that could've been Beth's imagining as well.
I liked your summary but my counter point would be why would she imagine her sister with a busted up face if she wasnt really getting beat by the things she was trying to phase out of her mind.
youre thinking about it way too much. vera didnt die
@@csl9495 I don't think that's the same window. We see the driver look outside the window after Beth threw the typewriter through of it, there are big trees in front of it. Couldn't explain why it ended up there though, maybe it slid off the lean-to's roof or something. Mostly I guess that scene is not meant to be dissected that much lol.
I think those “dolls” are other children, and they never escaped. It just reminds me of all the missing kids that I grew up hearing and seeing their posters. I lived next to Interstate 80 where it goes across the U.S both east and west. Lots of tragedies that *were* reported and thousands more that either *weren’t* or were just listed as runaways.
I think that you saw comments about that and now you think that. But you didn't actually think that when you were watching the movie. Also I don't believe that they are at all. It would make no sense for the movie. As all the 5 girls from the previous family's were found already
This movie was one of the best in recent times. After seeing the Foundflix review, I rewatched the movie and it got me thinking. What if Beth from starting has some part of her imaginary world mixed up with reality from the start. What if the dolls and the spooky mirror was all part of her imagination in a plain old creepy house. Like Vera mentioned in starting car ride, if Beth was being delusional to some extent and need a reality check. That way maybe the Candy truck might even have been just some truck with two attackers. The way Beth described the attackers as “Witch and Ogre” to the police officer, it might just be her imagination about the attackers personality. During the story, at many parts miracles happen like when suddenly a dolls falls and gives her an edge, or at the end the doll suddenly pops from mirror etc. This might just be her imagination mixing with reality.
That actually seems like a really cool twist.
I saw it a few years ago and, as a person who’s watched just about every horror movie that has come out since I was born (1976), this was the first that both surprised and excited me in at least 20 years. I LOVED it and immediately recommended it to every other horror aficionado I knew. It’s a great movie!!!
you're supposed to spoil it for the people reading comments instead of watching
@@slyseal2091
the video does that anyway. no point.
@@arifhossain9751 we can’t even sit through movies, that’s why we come here. You think we can sit through CZcams videos? 😉
@@asuma7683 yes! I felt the same way.
Beth wasnt weak for retreating into her mind, if anything she was smart. And she was the only one to fight back. Vera even tells her to just go along with it. I think it was those moments of happiness in her mind that gave her strength.
Exactly, as someone with C-PTSD I can say with confidence that sometimes, imagening a happy ever after for myself is what gives me the strength to keep going in my worst moments. Because suffering when there seems no light at the end of the tunnel creates despair and if there's anything that actually gets a person to commit suicide then its despair and having no hope left.
Vera fought back too, she attacked the big killer, hurt his leg while Beth was hallucinating. She says so when she puts her sister in the wardrobe to hide before the thin killer goes down in the basement. She crippled his leg so hard he has to use a crutch to walk in when Beth is displayed on the counter of dolls, but they made her pay, so of course to survive as much as possible she tries to play along after that.
Great "ending explained"! I think there was one error though -- the portrait of the guy in the basement was not their father but the reference that Beth's mind used for crafting her husband seen in the "dream" / illusion. I think the jester thing next to that ties the portrait to the fantasy world and if you turn up the brightness, it looks a bit like the husband she has in the fake reality.
That was very obvious, also the jester boy was obviously her son as her son also wore a jester costume now we know why. The lady from the soup add poster was the lady that interviewed her in her fantasy world and so on
The fear of running and being saved by someone who is with your torturer is so terrifying to me. Just as much as your torturer killing your hope to be saved. The sickness in your stomach of knowing it's now going to be worse our ever be over.
People hate the twist but I think it was absolutely heartbreaking
This is one of the films that you really have to pay attention to (even the dialogues)
It’s a good 7/10 in my book
Closer to a 6 than an 8

@@BritGirlJay Ah jeez the commenter seems real. So maybe a lot of ppl just copy and paste the exact comment?
I watched this movie about 2 years ago and tbh I was surprised how decent it was. I feel like there was a better way of ending it but overall I like this perspective of how a child can deal with trauma. Very interesting and it’s a nice watch
I tried to watch this movie a while back, and I just couldn't get into it. I can't really remember why, but now, I'm going to revisit it because of your review. Amazing job as usual! Especially for a movie that could be so confusing.
I think you're right about this ending because Vera kind of disappears from the story once she brings her sister back to the real reality. Then it's just Beth really. Great job as usual!
This movie messed me up mentally for a few days after watching and that does not occur for me since it's rare I get creeped out / disturbed by movies such as this. I still think about it often. And not with fondness haha
I never really bought into the idea of the dolls being other kids because that seemed too muddled, but the more i'm thinking about it and rewatching the movie, the more it could be.
the kids could have been easily transported in the van, and (i believe) the newspaper doesn't mention that the girls are left alive or even found, just that the killers moved on. Possibly taking the 'dolls' with them.
Beth being placed among the dolls could be she was placed with the other girls so the fat man could have his pick of them. Like, if she really wanted to give the fat man a choice, why not grab both Beth and Vera?
The doll that the fat man picks up only starts making noise when the hand goes up the doll's skirt and weirdly even though the doll wasn't struggling, he still fought with it like it was and when falling into the dolls they all start to berate him which could be them all screaming to be let go or insulting him. (of course could be put down to his metal problems).
The doll that distracts the man could have been one of the girls screaming out and all of the dolls placed as though to say goodbye to Beth could be the other kids actually watching her go and the dolls in the cages outside are sadly the girls that the fat man killed or maybe even the woman killed.
The only reason I could see as why Beth doesn't see them as kids is because she only focuses on herself and her sister.
The "woman."

I love how the police is utterly useless in the movie when so many of these families getting masscred.
I completely agree! I love your explanation of this.
@@luiousy7329 When is the police actually helpful?

@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus I get that, but this is just ridiculous reaching. I don't think even Mr Fantastic could reach that fucking far!
On a surface level does anyone think the other dolls were just other girls that the duo kidnapped, and they were literally all in a living hell, the Mom mightve been killed long before they got to the house and Beth's mental cracked beforehand.
Foundflix: "It is the same guy that did Martyrs after all."
Me: "Stuff all my food in my mouth before the gore starts."
Me: "Goes to make an appt. with my therapist."
A fun detail to add here which really further emphasizes Vera’s role in the story: the name Vera is Latin for “true.”
…However, the name in Russian actually means “faith,” with the association with “truth” being more like an extra bonus meaning imposed on top. In the film, it’s very clear from Vera’s role in the narrative that she is aligned with truth/“harsh reality,” but I wonder if the doubling of her name was something the filmmaker also thought about-particularly if it is indeed intended that Beth’s fantasy is the framework for all of this (and it probably is, given the title of the film).
I think the whole film is how Beth copes with a more mundane but sadly realistic story: she is kidnapped by those two monsters and they keep her secluded in some old basement with other girls (the dolls) until the police tracks them and free the survivors. Maybe Vera is not her real sister after all, but the girl who manages to survive along her and created a strong bound after all when at the beginning they were nothing. Maybe her mother was just an illusion all the time as she was probably killed when the monsters kidnapped Beth at their real home.
i never tought of it like that, at the very begining of the movie theres a kid running at the road , apparently trying to catch the car of the family, however he stops when he reaches the road and lets the car pass by , i assume this is another victim, that managed to escape, however for this to be true he must have escaped from the house (since its the only house in the area), and if he escaped from the house there would be signs, blood, caged dolls outside, beer bottles?,etc so the mother would have never gone into there, also right before the mother got attacked she recieved a "call" that sounds very much like the "call" vera gave beth later to get her out of her delusion, as a kid i once tried to read while in a car at night, its rather hard and beth didnt sttuter once,how would vera even have a police cap hand functional handcuffs, so what i think actually happened was that the fat man and the travestite(witch and ogre) either attacked beth and mother at their home/at the road/at the store (leaning to store), where they kept other victim (vera) in their truck due to the kid escaping, there both vera and beth tried running away but due to the witch having a car he managed to catch up quickly and shoot both officers down by possing as the mother while he approached, then witch drove beth and vera in mothers car, while ogre took the truck, which he crashed, explaining his injury, when they got to the home , mother woke up and tried to regain strengh for a bit before she attacked but witch was very aware of her "dont look at me" was not directed at beth but at mother, who attacked when witch taunted her by slapping beth, witch shoot the mother and then proceeded to kill her while beth watched , i think this covers most plot holes, im very sure about the order of things at least, witch could have not catched up to beth/vera , maybe not even find them, and most ceirtanly was not able to mantain such extreme accuracy after running for an entire night, this also explains the white truck passing by and most "plot holes" but leaves others open , such as why does beth "knows" saw irl places in the house in her delusion, what does it mean when the black cop tries to report that they found 2 girls and recieves a response that they had already found them, or how did the villians fix the truck if ogre truly crashed it, why none of the emergency care workers seemed perturbed/upset about the house, and how in the world ogre didnt manage to house down, the biggest mystery to me is the aunt , its posible that the house was indeed from the aunt and that she lived/collabored with the villians or that the villians moved just as she died, im sure i missed countless details
Lol why do people like y'all even bother watching movies when you come up with a completely new plot in your head. When movies are ambiguous or use metaphors, there are always actual things that hint at what's real. But when you just rewrite the entire thing in your head and come away with wildly different plot points you're just making up things at this point.
I loved this movie. The child acting was amazing and the adult sisters were just as good.
Taylor also sued the director because she has a very visible scar due to this movie, as the director forced her to smash real glass.
@らてちゃん if i remember correctly, that scene that gave her the scar was the last scene she filmed for the movie. that’s why you can’t see it during the movie at any point.
This movie was pretty good. Imagine if the ending was that after she gets captured, they actually kill her and she's much daydreaming in her final moments about how close she was to escape with her sister.
Well that's dark lol
@@zamo1087 It's just a JACOB'S LADDER twist. (Spoiler I guess if you've never seen it)
reminds me of the horror movie The Descent
I need FoundFlix to do a VHS Series Explained.
heres hoping
I absolutely love to hear your insights into a movie, your easy and depth of explaining each movie is incredible. Thank you so much for all the work you do into each video. Thank you.
I can’t handle horror or overly scary movies but I also know some of them have great stories. I love your channel because I can get the story without losing the ability to sleep for three or more days and having anxiety attacks at every little noise. 🙏
Thanks man, i know i can't watch something like this, especially about kidnapping and children getting hurt, it's nice having someone explaining it to me
Finally! I'm so happy you got around to doing this video. I remember requesting it to your Instagram years ago. I've been waiting ever since. Lol
out of all the movie recap channels there are, you are by far the best and most entertaining. probably because you actually engage in the watcher. anyway, great channel, great effort you put into these videos.
Thank you for reviewing this after I watched this a few months ago I immediately got on CZcams to see if you had reviewed it.... I was absolutely devastated by this movie cuz I thought it went one way and just to turn out another I loved this movie
I believe that the fantasy started in the car in the begining or even before that. Every part of the movie is just in the head of the Beth. They keep bringing up that she can't handle most things, and the thing she can't handle is moving to a new home. Everything is mad to be more scary then it really is. That is why the car ride looked so sad and gloomy. The candy truck and the two attackers was just a ice cream truck or imagined to give her horror fantasy more horror. When her horror fantasy gets to intense for her, she fell into a more plesant fantasy about herself writing a book about the "incident". Then she just got lost in the fantasy.
AH! I'm so happy you decided to do this movie. After watching it for the first time, I immediately thought of you and was disappointed to see you hadn't covered it. I'm excited to finally hear your take on it 🥳
Wow. There was way more depth here than I expected. Great job!
First time I watched this movie I was like 16 it actually scared and traumatised me, after rewatching it last year it wasn't as good but I still love it
I don't think horror should give you painful real trauma but yeah it's pretty good!
@@Sheridan2LT this isn’t a regular horror movie the director specifically likes to add gore and real action with the actors. You should see martyr another movie by the director that movie also traumatized me for a day ☠️ but overall they arnt bad
I’ve never been this early🙈 hi! Love your vids, keep up the great work🥰
Getting a new video from you is always a treat
your timing is impeccable, I watched this last week and immediately went hunting for a video from this channel...
Always love your videos. Great job as always
its a very cool movie. it changed my perspective on horror movies in general because its much more interesting, in my opinion, to see the whole story as being told from someone's specific perspective, even slasher movies take a different perspective since you can always think that the character or characters telling the story might have embelished it here and there.
and i especially like the perspective that compares PTSD and lovecraftian horror since what she experiences is quite literally what happens when someone goes through a very traumatic event (like being in a war) and/or when the characters in any of lovecrafts stories take a single glimpse of a eldritch entity, in a way saying that the horror of seeing such a being is not limited to the otherworldly but could also be experienced in very extreme situations.
i’m so excited u finally covered this movie, this is definitely one of my favourite films
im so glad your talking about this one, i watched it totally unprepared and it really threw me for a hell of a loop.
Taylor Hickson (vera) actually got hurt real bad on the set where she bangs on a window. She even had to have facial reconstruction done to limit the scar tissue.
FoundFlix, you are a true hero. I love all of your videos and I get so fucking excited every time I see a new video of yours come out. Keep up the awesome work!
Just sprained my ankle while taking out the trash. While crying my eyes out, I got this notification. Thank you foundflix for always coming through and lifting me up on this painful day! 🤕👌🏽
I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago. I understand your pain. Keep it up as high as you can and ice it! Speedy recovery to you 🙌
@@sailorarwen6101 thank you sm for the advice and best wishes. I hope you recovered well😁
I face planted today while taking out the trash. Feel better
Sprained my ankle a week ago exercising, it’s no laughing matter! Hurts like hell. Hope everyone heals good.
This channel is one of the most consistently good and interesting channels on CZcams. Very well made videos.
THANK YOU!! I'm so happy you did this
I love the ending explained! I can't watch horror movies, but always wanted to know the plots for some reason. This is so much better than Wikipedia. I listen to them before bed and usually fall asleep so I have to listen 3 times.
I just saw a preview for a new horror film called "X". Definitely would like to hear a break down of that one in the near future.
I feel bad for the younger sister. She felt like she wasn’t loved and her sister was preferred and then the very same sister left her as she was abducted.
I’m a way through and I’m wondering whether the mum is a ghost and that’s why she’s still there and she died instead. And Vera is her guilt haunting her.
I hadn’t seen this movie yet. I was putting it off cause the description seemed a little iffy. However! I love these videos and I’m really glad I got to hear the whole thing from you! So thanks 💜🤙🏻
The paintings weren't the inspiration for her father and her son. They're of her imagined husband and son.
Think people are Over analyzing it way too much. The cop showing up makes perfect sense especially when the one that got shot literally announced it over the radio where the 2 girls were staying and the other cops very likely heard the shots over the radio. Any time a officer is shot, any and all officers in that vicinity are obligated to rush to the scene of the shooting asap n the the girls literally told which house they're staying at so it makes sense. Not hard to connect the dots.
You sir, hands down have the best movie reviews. Thank you for doing what you do! 💓
I’ve been hoping you would do this one! Movie was nuts.
How long does it take for you to write these scripts? It’s incredible how well you break it down
its really not that incredible. some people are very good at describing things, expressive with language. He's one of em. It's just like taking a dump. Either you can say you took a dump (simple, direct) or you can say that you experienced one of the most reliable functions of human evolution, in which a burrito entered through your mouth, enjoying the Disney Land of mazes that is our intestines before being signed, sealed and delivered through nature's mailslot, sliding down like a child at a playground (being fluid with language, manipulating language). I think some people are better with language than others..some people can define things in simple terms, others can exaggerate and be more expressive. If you break down the first 3 acts of a movie into singular units, then you can just paraphrase what happened in each one. Add the interlude, beginning, and end, and then you have a foundflix episode. He does a great job at that and he OBVIOUSLY has a very good grasp of language/creative writing/using big words/etc. Plus he adds in his little quirky personality. But I believe that you can do it too..plus he gets thousands of dollars per month for doing these videos, so that'll motivate anyone to make a good video.
5 years
Im not so ashamed to say I've seen every found flix vid for 2 years now and i make sure i watch each vid to keep that record up
I love watching scary movies through you. You’re a great storyteller. 👍🏾
I remember watching this movie and I had no clue wtf was going on...
Maybe I'm dumb lol but thanks for the explanation!
I wasn’t expecting a video this week. Thanks for the extra Morbius discussion!!
The window thing got me thinking did Beth Beth actually make it out or did she simply just imagine all of that after the were captured from their failed escape
Yes! I recently watched this and wanted so badly for you to do a video on it
Beth’s fantasy of Lovecraft is batshit. Seriously if she met him for real, it’d be a massively different encounter lol
That’s how her mind is doing ANYTHING to make sure she stays in her fantasy land
He would have been terrified of her,
Poor guy was afraid of everything, including vegetables
Awesome to see you cover this movie, always felt this one was a hidden gem
This is one of those gems i found this movie is very very very very very very confusing but hearing it explained like this is amazing love your work
I thought it was pretty easy follow, what made it confusing to you exactly
In a deleted scene, HP Lovecraft keeps saying the name of his cat when he complains about the Cities crime rate
Bruh
@@jameeltalkswithyou7583 lol I forgot I wrote this.
did you know that despite his cat taking up 13% of his house, it was responsible for 53% of the scratchings!
Did you know his cat was responsible for 1500 violent assaults on White mice daily! EDIT: we're not even talking about ALL mice, just White mice.... did you know that "bruh"? XD
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 it's nice to know people in the MW2 lobbies knew what HPs cat name
@@jameeltalkswithyou7583 MW2 lobbies?
Just subbed, I have just watched this for the 2nd time today. It's a real good story, best horror film ive watched for a long time.
I really like this film. I pretty much am Beth. LOL I love horror movies and stories, and I always have. I actually grew up wanting to be a horror writer. (I did end up becoming a professional writer, but I don't write anything about horror these days.) Stephen King was my favorite and I read everything that he ever wrote. When I became a teenager, I developed agoraphobia. So it was a weird juxtaposition that I could watch a scary movie and not blink, but I couldn't leave the house without having a panic attack. As a result, I basically "retreated" into daydreams. I'm older now and live a pretty normal life, but I still daydream A LOT. It's probably a lot more than the average person. If I experienced something traumatic like the events of this film, I would 100% "shut off" and go somewhere else. I'm sure of it.
"I am literally this character" type person
@Bruce Wayne i did.
@@DHGxMcFlurry Okay but that is a Beth thing to say.
But you haven't and the character did so you're not at all like her are you?
does anyone have any theories on what the fat man and candy truck woman’s motives are?? i feel like this movie would’ve been 1000x better if we simply knew (or at least had an idea) why what was happening was happening
You want to know why child grapists are child grapists? Wtf is wrong with you.
So hype you covered this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥 seen the movie 4 times but still gotta watch the Foundflix remix 😂💯
Absolutely one of the best channels out.
Yeah. The second Lovecraft showed up at a party and talked to a stranger, we totally know it's a fantasy
Love your commentary while you explain the movie
This was one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a while. I personally liked the twist, and I liked that I did not see it coming at all! Im so used to horror movies being so predictable it was nice to experience something so different.
I love layered storytelling like this. I will definitely watch the movie to see all the details!
I wonder if the other dolls are actually other victims and Beth only sees them as dolls as part of her delusion, it would explain why they insult the big guy, why Beth turns away when one is set on fire and why so many are kept in cages outside. Her fantasy 'mum' could have been disposing of bodies instead of dolls. The creepy Aunt who passed away may have been apart of the evil duo and the house was always their hideout and the family didn't know.
Well - before the whole story began there were creepy dolls all over the house.
Finally i been waiting for this… THANKYOU
Normally listening and watching your videos I am all good. But just listening to this one and hearing the plot gives me the shivers.
This movie is on my list of films I saw once and said never again.
i just watched this movie a few days ago!! wow haven’t seen something that good in a minute !!
I saw this one awhile back, and it stunned me with how good this little movie really was.
Hands down one of the best thriller films from start to finish.. highly recommended
We will probably never know how much (if any of this) was reality. Which I kinda like.
I went through medically related serious hallucinations a while back. I lost total touch. Could not tell what was real and what wasn’t.
Absolutely horrifying. Worst experience of my life.
One of the most cruel and devastating Movie experiences I made from going through the playlist, watching the movies to what you explained over the years.
The beginning,
The kind of misleading and suspicious part back in the house,
The truth,
The whole realizing and escaping,
The damn rest of the movie,
The research afterwards finding out one of the actresses even had an accident and has to keep a scar on her face 😢😅😵💫
It would’ve already been shocking if it was like the killers stayed as ghosts inside the house and tortured Vera all these years, but damn, no they went for something even more worse 😳
been waiting on you to cover this
you finally covered my favorite film omg!!!!
I truly believe they did survive because of the newspaper from the gas station. The same situation happened previously and that girl survived.
I LOVED this movie! Few things I would change around but damn finally a good twist after so many movies with bad ones
This movie is soo underrated. One of my favorite. Recommend to people all the time.
Loved it , great job.
Dude, do a ending explained on “choose or die” that movie confused the shit outta me
All I knew about this movie was the actress who played young Vera was disfigured by some glass due to negligence from the director and production company. Looks interesting.
Edit: I think there's a possible extra layer to the movie. Maybe her mother's ghost really was in the house helping her at certain moments. The ending could be a mix of Beth coming to grips with her trauma and saying goodbye to her mother. As for the cops, the murdered cop did radio it in and they were already looking for the killers so it makes sense they hauled ass to the house just in time.
