DANIEL IT'S TIME TO STOP DANIEL THIS IS ABSURD DANIEL
Daniel has "my daddy's a producer" energy
Please make a video for Love Hard (2021) !! It's a very unique take on a classic trope & the movie is very genuine and heartfelt.
The monolog clips you showed paired with his Bundy's POV, are very similar to Joe's inner monologs in the show YOU. Maybe Dan got inspired
Daniel... DANIEL!
Okay but can we please talk about how you always rep the best bands?!
Alexisonfire, Cancer Bats, La Dispute?? Truly appreciate your music taste!
(Plus I always shipped Bella and Alice and people thought I was crazy/joking, and you validate that hahah)
The Manson murders meant a lot to him... Because he was born the same year??
Literally, my grandma exclaimed "WHAT!?" when she overheard you say that.
This is what she exclaimed following it:
"Is that guy for real? Try being 9 months pregnant with your first born when you hear about that horrific event, living less than 50 miles away from where it happened! Your oldest uncle, raikun, was born a week after Sharon Tate was murdered! Do you know how scary it is to be 20 years old, with a husband working night shifts, your first baby on the way, and almost due, and you hear about someone being killed when she was also pregnant? People started locking their doors after that; especially me! And you don't see *ME* making a movie about it!"
👍
Your grandma is the 🐐!

Your grandma is awesome!
Can't wait for him to do "Jack the Ripper: Brittish Boogeyman".
Nah, everyone involved in that case is dead and there are no relatives that still struggle with the trauma, so that one wouldn't be disrespectful enough
@@nopizzawithoutpineapple unless he does the Yorkshire ripper
@@katierasburn9571 ...Yes, because that is an entirely different case

How about the Murder of Anne Frank?
"This man is my Nemesis and he doesn't even know I exist." Made me laugh so hard but I know the feeling! These films are crazy disrespectful and you had every right to pop off.
Chris Stuckmann in reviewing Farrands' movie be like :
That phrase resonated in me on a molecular level😂
@@McFloT Seriously! Just a burst of laughter flew out of me and I was like yep I've been there. 🤣
I read you comment the exact time she said it xD
@@alaskaiscold_9296 I love when that happens!!! 🤣
Thank you Amanda for pointing out that Ted WASN'T a criminal genius. HE WAS LUCKY.
Dude was a moron but the police were more so
Moreover, he very often used a fake plaster on his arm to lower his victim's guard. This tactic wasn't always working, and the victims who did fell for it just thought they were helping a HANDICAPED guy.
Like, woaw, pretending to be injured to trap helpfull women, what a GeNIuS.
@@LeoDBW makes me mad when people say he got so many victims because of his "devilish charm and good looks" like NO! The reason he got so many victims was because he was acting helpless and relying on the kindness of the poor women
@@Gabi-vt4ex You think those women would have been as willing to help him even if he was nerdy and unappealing?
@@NJGuy1973 he was acting *helpless* and relied on the kindness of the poor women. His looks weren't special. I think I made that clear in my first comment.
I just don't understand why this guy uses real-life tragedies as bases for his movies when: a) they clearly don't fit his vision if he changes so many things in the story b) the effect of the changes usually ranges from strange to outright offensive
Honestly, why not make up a story that is loosely based on these events and put his twist on them? That would still be arguably disrespectful, but not as *blatantly* in your face to all of the victims' families who are still out there.
probably because he wants the extra attention and outrage he gets when he attaches the name of some actual tragedy to it...
Because he clearly can’t think of an original and interesting storyline on his own.
Fr, someone needs to tell this guy that pure fiction exists.
@@philosynfonie7307 he'd also never be heard of without it. there's a million garbage movies out there nobody will ever watch or talk about but this guy wants to be different and get notoriety but lacks the talent, so with that type of narcissism as fuel, it's not surprising.
he's trash and he knows he *can* make his own story, provided he'd even be able to be able to get investors to create his original content (which I doubt and probably contributes to all this), but just won't or at least not until he gets enough attention and money from his antics.
This guy is like every movie reviewers arch nemesis. He was the first guy Chris Stickman gave an F to in the first 30 seconds of a video.
Chris Suckman
Not just movie reviewers but the entire world's arch nemesis too. Just by watching his Sharon Tate movie I was absolutely mind blown how insane god awful the movie was
Chris has given movies an F before, but it’s still a rarity for him. He’s usually fair with movies he doesn’t even like.
@@spookyspice596 Until his opinion drastically changes, just kidding.
To be honest, I don't get why people likes him.
He's such a boring reviewer.
I wish Chris Stuckman still reviewed bad movies. I know ever since film school he doesn't believe in roasting people. However, this guy this guy deserves to be roasted.
I do enjoy Chris Stuckman though. Don't always agree with his reviews but he seems like a genuine good guy
Can they stop giving this man money! He's like the worst of the true crime community, just ruining the memories of the victims and their families!
“True crime” is stretching in the case of our dear mutual friend
He must be a very persuasive guy if he keeps getting away with these.
@@tristanhartup4936 I’m betting a lot of people hate watch them and the studios just see high numbers. They probably even hope it becomes one of those so bad you watch it with your friends cult classic movies. (I blame the room)
The ID Network briefly had a series or two with dramatizations of real life crimes with familiar faces playing the subjects alongside interviews of them in real-life. Those are more realistic than Farrants movies.
This is the Cinematic equivalent of Michael Jordan refusing to leave baseball but on a much longer time line. How you have the patience, Amanda of the Jedi Order, is beyond me.
@UCdCUb7hIKoOhdaR4cMcc9YA
Yeah, ‘cause she *forces* herself to sit through these
@@warlordofbritannia Oh-hohoho! You have surely shed some light(saber) on this!
More like MJ's two-season baseball career he decided to start at the age of 30. Only with optimism and a morbid curio factor. Except hope evaporates instantaneous and the only shock value is why this 'autuer' has a career? At least Jordan's crime against sports experiment gone wrong into baseball only lasted two years. This hack is Ed Wood without the social redemable value; Tommy Wasu, only incompetent and with no talent.
It’s her padawan training
I know the word "offensive" gets people laughed at these days, but I feel like it must be used to appropriately encapsulate what's wrong with Farrands' last 3 films. This is a filmmaker who goes beyond the realm of "poor taste" and breaches the truly offensive. You can have gratuitous violence in your movie, but when you have gratuitous violence *and* a scene with a real-life figure telling her therapist "I do miss the sex" when talking about how OJ would beat her, *and* present a conspiracy theory as fact in order to make OJ look better, it is clear you don't view the people involved in this true story as people; you view them as convenient objects for your exploitation movie.
The entire premise of Haunting of Sharon Tate, her having premonitions of the murders, exists solely so the movie can have a higher body count. If there was no supernatural slant, they wouldn't be able the show the murders until the end, meaning the screenplay would have to focus on personal relationships or character development that Farrands doesn't have the talent to handle. He just wanted to make a slasher movie and knew nobody would care unless he attached it to a famous crime.
Yeah I don't believe in movies being censored but these movies shouldn't exist
I loved the Cinema Snob's response to people who said Once Upon A Time In Hollywood did the same thing. "Oh yeah, this is exactly like that other movie. If you've never heard of the word 'context'."
You truly snapped every time I rewatch this video I reread this comment 🙌
@@thekneesbee thanks; I've never taken 'you snapped' as a compliment before
@@blaisetelfer8499 I don't think I really given it at one much either. So congrats haha
"Mom, I want The Silence of the Lambs!"
"We have The Silence of the Lambs at home"
*The Silence of the Lambs at home:*
I want to understand how he gets actual actors for this movies; Hilary duff; Mina Suvari Chad Michael Murray??? I know they aren’t exactly A listers but they are recognizable and have successful films out there! And this are embarrassing
You'd be surprised how far people like this can get by on sheer charisma alone.
Money.
I know virtually nothing about this director, but he clearly keeps getting films made. This means his films, as bad as they are, are likely profitable. With that in mind, people will always toss money at him to make more (at least until they're not profitable anymore...)
In the meantime, he can wave money, probably a decent amount, in front of actors (I agree with Amanda, a large part of the budgets of these films likely goes to the main star), and that's good enough for them.
Acting is hard in that way. Unless you can write your own material, an actor is completely beholden to what they're offered. This means frequently taking work you'd never want to watch yourself. But work is work, and bills need to be paid.
I know lots of people who work in theater, and they audition all the time for plays they think are garbage.
But a gig's a gig.
I assume he does some weird angling where he gets a bigger budget for name actor involvement which is contingent on that budget for them to get more money
Connections. He wrote a Halloween movie with the Weinsteins so he has credit with some producers who know other producers, etc.
Have you seen “movie 48”?
Some people are just that good at getting big actors to do shitty things.
“American Boogiewoman” sounds like the title to a failed disco song!
So, thank you for demystifying Ted Bundy. As someone who is interested in true crime and actually studied true crime (masters degrees in forensic psychology), Bundy does get a “superhero”-like reputation among the well-known serial killers. He was a monster and does not need to be glorified at all.
Agreed!
he was in law school too
@@grantc2854
Bundy *was* in law school, but I doubt he was a good student and he never passed his degree program(s) or passed the bar exam.
His education level is another point of idolizing this guy.
Same! As a forensic anthropology major i cant tell you the times i hear people glorify serial killers including ted bundy. It especially annoying considering that i have see the dirty work these killer do to their dead victims and despite this, people still made them seem like superheroes.
Highly recommend checking out cherry bepsi’s video “The problem with true crime”, there’s an entire 10-15 minute chunk dedicated to her absolutely RIPPING into Bundy. I mean she DESTROYS him, all while dismantling the problematic and untrue “legend” status hollywood granted him. it’s SO satisfying.
She starts around the 18 minute mark, she conveniently (and rightfully) named that chapter of the video “dunking on Ted Bundy”
Out of curiosity, I decided to look up how successful his previous 2 films were, as there had to be a reason this guy kept getting gigs, and it turns out that neither even grossed 20k, so now I’m convinced that they are some sort of money laundering scheme.
Well i can find some peace at least in knowing they were rightful flops
As a woman of color: can we STOP glorifying the actions of serial killers? Like, much of the "smart" or "genius" behavior attributed to serial killers comes down to color and class of the killer and the victims. If your victims are queer, an ethnic or racial minority, women, sex workers, or homeless people, congrats, you're a genius for pick the VERY people police and society doesn't really care about. He literally just hung around, pretended to injured, lured some women in (a big note, not all women fell for it and that pissed him off) at night to his car, and then would leave, assault them, and play with their corpses. Gross.
Also, the romantic way people portray male serial killers is 100% sexist. He wasn't suave or charming, he raped and murder girls for fun. "He was charming and handsome and thoughtful" and a crazy killer who took pleasure in hurting people because he could. The way male serial killers get justified is just exhausting to hear and worse to have it glorified. He was a white guy who used social pressure to slaughter women and he got away with it because cops are notoriously incompetent and think highly of white guys.
Like, it boggles the mind how "smart" he was when really he was lucky everyone around him was dumb and arrogant. Could be emotional intelligence, to know that the police are idiots, lawyers are cocky, and no one believes those they deem below them, sure. But it doesn't take a genius to read his wikipedia and go "so everyone was just blind and ignorant and he could have been stopped many times if people would pay attention to the victims and those around him going, that's him officer." Oh, he was a master of disguise? No, he was generic. He was just a white guy who practiced faces in the mirror. Oh, he never left evidence at the crimes scenes? Bruh, the police ignored an exact tip to who he was, what he drove, and how he looked AND he'd use his vehicle to bury the bodies in the woods or parks around his area. That's not meticulous planning, that's understanding how "if I move the evidence, there's no evidence." He once planned his escape, was noticed and reported, and the police did nothing... Infuriating how many woman who brutalized and killed because a white guy got lucky. Disgusting.
Oh my god i could scream this from the rooftops. He wasnt smart or charming, he was a sadistic lunatic in a generic white guy’s body picking on people weaker than him who wouldnt be believed if they ran…
Say it louder for the people in the back! Thank you for voicing my exact thoughts!
Literally the same or even WORSE happened with Paul Bernardo. I can't believe the absolute amount of massive idiocy of the police when it comes to the "Ken and Barbie" killers. Like ... when I read the story and the details I was almost ready to rip my hair off because of the incompetent police who questioned him multiple times and almost revered that pos failure of a human being just because he looked handsome and "cool" (he def wasn't) to their stupid eyes. The poor girls who lost their lives horribly could've definitely been avoided.
💯
I doubt anyone could have said it better. This, 1000000%
I'm just sick of revisiting this horrible man's life. Let's just stop glorifying serial killers in general
Yeah I remember for about a minute a couple years ago people were all into Ted Bundy and there was a bunch people who weirdly wouldn't stop talking about how hot he supposedly was, to the point that Netflix, the people that played a sizable hand in causing this weird fad, chimed in and was like "you know we have plenty of movies featuring handsome actors that DIDN'T kill a bunch of women, just saying"
@@bigbearkat2010 Also, let's be completely objective: Just look wise, Ted Bundy was not an exceptional beauty people made him out to be. He looked like every conventionally ok looking sitcom divorced dad but with a glimpse of unsettling.
Bundy was a fascinating specimen, possibly THE most fascinating to be held in captivity in US history. A walking avatar of Robert Hare's psychopathy checklist. He was a unique man, like it or not. It's not glorifying him to find him a fascinating study. The guy was the closest we've had to containing something alien.
@@listentothenightfilms No, he was a sick monster who preyed on innocent women. He's not some fascinating case study. They just think that because even as a serial killer white male privilege is a thing.
@@StellarAvenger *He's not some fascinating case study*
Well, he is. He stands out in the pantheon of serial killers due to his compartmentalized psychology and the complexity of his mask of sanity. He was deeply enigmatic and horrifically capable of integration with others in his surroundings. He could literally transform into other people at will. He was the closest we've come to containing an 'alien'. In my opinion he shouldn't have been killed. He hated prison and should have been studied well into the 90's.
*They just think that because even as a serial killer white male privilege is a thing*
hahahaha
This movie is like Ted Bundy's fanbase (yes, he has a fanbase), but taken to horrifying, fanfiction-ish extremes.

@@warlordofbritannia Some members of his fanbase even call him a "bisexual icon" (as a bi person, he isn't and it's also offensive) AND they unironically ship him with Jeffery Dahmer. Ted Bundy's fanbase sadly exists and they are incredibly messed up.
The fact that Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman and Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman (both directed by Farrands) came out in the same year is astonishingly awful
He coulda made a movie warped to make it into “if Ted Bundy got caught earlier” twist and pulled a Tarantino on the actual events that took place and THAT would have been a much better movie.
That's exactly what I was thinking too like this movie just outright offensive and for what
"american boogeyman" sounds so sinister while "american boogeywoman" sounds like aileen wuornos is just out here groovin' to the bee gees on a light up dancefloor
This. Lighting.
👏
I didn't expect you here :D
In case you were actually curious - Those cups were a fairly popular thing in the late 70's - early 80's. The cup was flimsy, so they clicked into those handles. Not a bad idea, really. The worst thing I remember about them is the sloped sides. You couldn't move them without spilling. You had to walk around like you were carrying nitroglycerine. Now, back to this FANTASTIC video critique.
Why am I not surprised that this is the most accurate thing in all of his films? Lol Guess he really knows his cups.
Thank you for your service
Actually I don't know why. It may have been jus a coincidence but in my country Colombia in the early 2000s and 2010s I remember seeing those cups a lot in businesses or waiting rooms.
Something similar was still used at school events and such in my country in the nineties. Not only were the white cups flimsy, but you'd burn your fingers holding them with a hot beverage inside. So you could have the basic, white, single-use cups which could be used for all kinds of beverages including cold, and if you were drinking coffee or tea you'd use the reuseable 'cup holders'.
Ok. I must say it's a bit strange to have one of my highest rated comments be about disposable cups...
Say what you want about Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, & Vile, at least THAT movie had a point to make. Its message was that sometimes the most dangerous people aren’t the creepers in the corners, they’re the people that you know who seem perfectly normal, and they might even be the people closest to you.
This movie’s message seems to be: serial killer cool.
Yeah, and most people who don't really invest into researching true crime aren't aware that serial killers get really good at something called "compartmentalizing" which is a way they can remove themselves from their urges to kill and do harm to others while acting seemingly normal.
Yes, by casting Zac Effron they played into Bundy's "charming persona" but Effron played him kinda off. Even if you came into the movie not knowing about Bundy you knew he was guilty of something if not the murders. And the movie heavily follows Liz's view in how Ted keeps emotionally manipulating her and dragging her along through the whole process of his arrests and escapes.
Also Extremely Wicked was based on Ted Bundy's ex girlfriend's testimony and her book.
Sure we see his """good""" sides but that's her perspective. She's the main character and we know it's not an objective pov just retelling the investigation, etc.
This movie shows us how she spirals into alcoholism as she realises that the man she loved was a monster all along, and it's honestly heartbreaking, I felt genuinely bad for her.
Ted Bundy from 2002 and Stranger Besides Me from 2003 are the best Ted Bundy movies, even if they have inaccuracies.
The first one shows you how f***** of a momster he was without filter, and the second shows you his most psychological side.
Legacy Of Evil wasn't as bad as this one but...meh, it was quite forgettable even tho it was pretty graphic.
Oh no not this guy, literally the most disrespectful director 😬
My dad worked at FSP (Florida state prison) at the times Ted Bundy and Aileen Wuornos were on death row. He said she was genuinely mean and crazy. While Bundy was so arrogant and a idiot. Awful people. It's pretty terrible of this director to just pump out these ridiculous movies at the expense of the victims. What a POS . Filmmakers like this should be called out .Im with you, how the hell is he making these films, who is giving him money? And also why are these somewhat known actors doing this horrible man's movies🤷🤦 money be damned. You said it ALL here, thanks for calling it like it is always.
I have a weird connection to the Ted Bundy story, (not this movie, but the real one.) In high school I used to go to some events with my partner from the school newspaper. She got excitable about everything, panicking at the smallest event. When a football was passed in her general direction at a game, she screamed and dove for cover. She always drove, and you can imagine what someone like her was like on the rode. I was always grabbing onto the "oh god" strap as I was swung around the passenger seat of her Volkswagon Beetle. Well, those of you who know the Bundy story might know where this is going. One day I was in the newspaper room at the school, and we all heard her screaming from two stories down. She ran all the way up the stairs and into the room, crying and shouting, "I have Ted Bundy's car!"
She had had car trouble and had looked in the user's manual. There on the front page was Ted Bundy's signature. She had it checked out and sure enough, she had wound up with his Volkswagon Beetle when she bought it used.
That’s insane!! What did she do next?
Yikes .. pretty sure he put bodies in his cars ..
@@certifiedboghopper9622 Honestly, I don't know. I left the paper soon after that when some of my work got plagiarized. I didn't keep in touch with the girl who owned the car, but I seem to remember hearing that she sold the car.
I don't want to call this fake but dude I can't find any sources for this
@@cattibingo Ummm, don't know what you mean by no source. This isn't from a history book, it's just my experience. Did you mean to respond to someone else's comment?
Okay but all the disrespect aside- does this guy have a thing for women getting murdered? Like, does he ever make movies about anything other than women getting brutalized?
Honestly, I wonder that about a lot of male directors who specifically focus on making slasher films where women are sexually objectified and then murdered. Though this guy does take it to the next level by using actual, real-life women in his stories. It's sick.
@@alexandrialeonora6542 this is the exact thing that made me hate horror for many years. Nowadays theres a lot of moving away from that formula and the plots to horror films are getting cleverer too, but clearly that shit is still lingering around
Yeah, he made the movie "Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman", which is about a woman who kills men 😅
@@Cola23Vanilla so just this but female???? what the fuck..
@@katierasburn9571 yeah like newest black Christmas. Femino-sjw trashfire
I thought the reason that Bundy was basically made out to be this attractive man was because the police were entirely incompetent… so like glorifying him this much is completely counter to what Daniel is saying he’s doing. He doesn’t care about the victims. And other people in the comments are also saying that Daniel seems to just be playing out his own fantasy so that’s… something.
Yes. He was neither attractive nor clever, but pretending he was made the cops look less ridiculous!
Without fail, this man's movies answer the question you asked yourself last week. "Hey, whatever happened to [insert actor from movie you loved years ago]?" And always with a sigh and a disappointed, "Oh..."
I was thinking about what happened to Holland Roden just a few days ago lmao.
Amanda popping off about inept police work and how stupid Ted was is the exact energy I need in 2022
Can we stop allowing this guy near real life murders? Please? Maybe get a creative restraining order or something?
I think Carol DaRonch said he came at her with a crowbar and gun? It was an incredibly dramatic fight for her life. There's no need to for the director to add anything to it, and yet Farrand seems to have done so.
I'm sick of men adding bs like that in horrific situation of female victim's lives. It feels so minimizing, like they NEED to make things more violent to be able to feel sympathy or understand how terrifying situations as such can be. It gives me the same vibes as male writers only being able to write SA either from a stranger in a dark alley or with physical violence. When it's just as traumatic regardless.
"this man is my nemesis and he has no idea I exist" 😂 😂
If you want to watch a work that *actually* prioritizes the women involved in the Ted Bundy story, there's a great docuseries on prime where his long-time girlfriend, Elizabeth Kendall, and her daughter are interviewed and it gives very insightful information about the feminist movement during that era and what victims and families had to face so totally recommend
I second that great recommendation!
Yes! Of all the Bundy stuff coming out in last few years, this one is easily the best yet the horribly overlooked.
Ill check that out thank you :)
thank you . it seems he just made shit up . ... when their was plenty similar stuff he could have used.
@@charlieni645No Man of God was good too

“Shirtwaist Triangle Factory: Based on a Fiery Hot Story”
“The Murder of Innocent People by the Christchurch Shooter”

I LOVE that you keep calling Bundy a loser. Keep it up-change the narrative about him.
It'd be actually really interesting to make a movie about the woman who helped take down Bundy and not even show Bundy in the movie hopefully made by a female director and writer
Now that would be awesome
They did something similar with a miniseries on Netflix about a serial rapist. You don’t even see who the perpetrator is until the last episode. It was all focused on the dedicated women who kept looking and making connections when others had already given up. It also focuses heavily on the victims, giving them a voice and power. If was also one of the rare movies that actually showed how truly incompetent the police work was to show that these serial perpetrators aren’t some evil mad geniuses that media makes them out to be. I thought it was the most unique approach I’ve seen to making a movie about true crime and it was incredibly moving. It managed to be respectful yet truthful.
@@ssharkbait what's it called?
@@athenajaxon2397 "Unbelievable", it stars Toni Collette and it's fucking brilliant.
I understand using real life crimes and tragedies as a basis for fictional stories but this film maker throws together weird conspiracy theories, unnecessary supernatural elements, and low-end lifetime original movie film style. This isn't the way to do it.
"He's not an enigma, he's just a fucking loser who should have been caught long before he actually was!"
THANK YOU! I've been a true crime fan for years, and the way some people fawn over Bundy disgusts and often confuses me.
It makes me question the "big name" actors who agree be in these, like, were Hilary Duff, Mena Suvari, and Chad really that hard up for work that they willingly participated in these morally bankrupt movies.
They apparently were.
Chad is also doing the halmark circuit...so
@@TehMomo_ 🤣 Yah, I almost didn't include him; I'm not really surprised on that count. But, Hilary at least... I wouldn't have thought she'd need to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Ah yes, Distasteful Movie 3: Serial Killer Boogaloo is finally here!
“And that is not a compliment”
This movie deserves no compliments tbh
I'm here for the Bundy was an incompetent loser rant. I think that gets ignored too often
There’s two types of true crime fans. One, those who respect the victims and their families, learning about the history of the killers (and how stupid the cops are), and even mocking the killers, because they deserve it. The other kind is what Daniel is.
The serial killer groupies?
@@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets I wouldn’t call them groupies, that’s too soft of a word for what they are. But you’re on the right track.
Yeah i decided I could never create true crime content because I would clown on the killers and meme too much and it would probably come off as disrespectful.
@@jojol.2630 Honestly I think true crime content that shits on and mocks the killers would be a very refreshing change to all the true crime content that just glorifies killers and makes them seem cool
This is Amanda's origin story for her hunting down this Daniel person and making a true crime movie with him as the subject.
She will setup shots and go into detail why he has failed as a director and how to properly direct.
Except then there will be a take a that end, which she filmed before everything saying all this was fake and no one was harmed.
But he's been missing for 6 months.
We know. We all know.
And no one will care.
Yep that was my dark mind coming up with a random story that will never happen in this reality but it happens in another reality and I'm just channeling that image.
Fuck it, I would watch that.
I really hope when Spider-Man goes to cinema in America and Canada that Amanda reviews it cause she makes it really exciting
It comes out tomorrow in the states
I'll be covering it! Gonna take a few days :)
I can’t wait for her review, I just saw it and it was perfect imo
@@AmandaTheJedi Just got back, it's gonna be an amazing review.
The only saving grace in all of this is that Ted Bundy is already dead
Because, y'know, he would have loved this movie
I had no idea who this director was, but I saw the title and went “aw shit is this the Sharon Tate guy”
Same. There's only one man who'd stoop that low and we all know him by this point.
I like that you regularly shoutout Zodiac. I'm not really into the true crime genre (or even fake murder stuff) but I watched that movie with my mom and sister over Christmas and we all really enjoyed it. It really put the focus on the madness created in the people trying to catch the Zodiac killer, not romanticizing the madness of the killer himself. True crime often struggles with the balance between humanizing/honoring the victims and dramatizing the horror of their deaths. Zodiac kind of side stepped the whole mine field by not spending as much time on the actual murders (save a few scenes). For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend!
The coffee cup - they were plastic holders that the vending cup was put into, which were used up to the late eighties (I’m showing my age..!)
I think Daniel makes his movies solely for Amanda to watch as part of a giant conspiracy to make her loose her mind
Kylo ren, is that you?
@@bethday3032 no? Why would you think that?
@@skiddadleskidoodle4094 huh guess I was mistaken
@@bethday3032 That's Matt, the Radar Technician. He's the new guy that checks the Radar.
Amanda's beanie game is top notch! I must know where she gets her hats from...
I'm calling it, 15 years from now there's going to be a number of bodies found in this "filmmaker's" backyard.
That's a bit generous, don't you think?
I say 30 years.
Is this confirmation that the director wanted to make a Ted Bundy power fantasy cause he likes the real person?
I am firmly convinced that this director wants to BE these people. He’s creepy af.
If we hear in a few years that he's been arrested for attempted murder, noone's gonna be surprised....
@@FranNyan Not even a little. It's really creepy how he fetishizes these serial killers.
I was also wondering if it's some sort of fetish thing for him or viewers he has
Yeah they should really keep an eye on him...
Just another example as to how good the Netflix movie “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile” with Zac Efron really is…just goes to show how wrongly this can be done! This “director” (using that term loosely b/ what the hell kind of direction is this!) should be ashamed and stop while he is way way behind…I’m absolutely appalled at the lack of respect given to these victims of such gruesome killings. Thanks for warning me on this one! HULU has been shoving it in my face for a couple weeks now.
As for the coffee cup, I can explain. When coffee is too hot for you to hold the plastic cups, you can use that so you don't have to clean an actual mug and won't burn your hand.
“Keep an eye out for this mysterious unidentified man who’s in a full ski mask! In *Florida!*” made me snort.
Could be worse. He could have named it, “Ted Bundy: Superstar.”
My grandpa was taken in and interviewed for the Bundy murders. My great grandpa owned land near where he dumped bodies and my grandpa looked sort of like him. My great aunt was actually approached by Bundy, but she had an appointment and so didn't go with him, but said she would've otherwise.
So after seeing him disappearing from the door: Michael Myers = The Boogeyman (Halloween) = The Shape (Dead By Daylight) = Enigma = Mike Myers = Master of Disguise
Sorry, this keeps getting more and more bonkers and/or annoying and/or real-life upsetting about the victims as I’m sipping on some whiskey. HES STRAIGHT UP A GHOST MAN. HES MICHAEL/CANDYMAN AND GHOSTFACE ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Never thought I'd see both of my teenage icons Hilary Duff & Chad Michael Murray again in these kinds of awful films, but I guess here we are. Daniel Farrands sure must have been a fan of them as well back in the mid '00s.
and it appears that he got peyton list to be in the wurnos movie to attract the jessie and cobra kai viewers
"American Boogeywoman" sounds like a lost Earth, Wind, and Fire track.
Literally no one:
Amanda: Tortures herself with godawful movies for the sake of our entertainment.
It's sad that Chris Stuckmann doesn't do shitty reviews like this anymore, i really wanna see him ripped this movie to shreds in his review. It wouldn't have affected his career in the industry cuz everyone know this is wrong and absolutely disrespectful
"Do words mean the same thing to you as they do to everyone else? "
I don't know why but that's my favorite sentense.
Daniel Farrands: *exists*
Amanda: "And I took that personally"
Amanda to actor: "You are to good good for any of this."
Actor to Amanda: "Tell that to Hollywood. In the meantime, I need to pay for stuff..."
If they had a shred more self respect they’d apply at mcdonalds. Seriously, there is no lower than participating in this crap for genuine work as far as I’m concerned
@@katierasburn9571
Hell no, man.
This guy is like a violent murder fan fic. Like, you know he's got some Dexter posters in his room...
But dexter is a fictional character and real murders have real victims.
I didn’t know who this was, but as soon as I saw Ted Bundy in the title, I was all, “oh, this has to be that idiot who made those terrible Sharon Tate and Nicole Brown Simpson movies.”
So... I'm sleepy... I did jump when you shouted "Daniel! what were you thinking?!" Because just as you were, I was contemplating more coffee instead of bed.
I like how rarely they show Chad Michael Murray's face because he looks absolutely nothing like Ted Bundy lol
6:00 Omg that's Lydia from Teen Wolf. Holland Roden, girl, you can do better than this😭 Lydia Martin would be disappointed
She would be so disappointed. 😒
Please make a video for Love Hard (2021) !! It's a very unique take on a classic trope & the movie is very genuine and heartfelt.
I've never actually watched any of his movies, I just watch your reviews and realized I would be in to my emotional pain if I watched them myself.
Can't wait for part, two! Boogeywoman: Electric Boogaloo!
I saw the title and I literally gasped I can't believe he did it again
gotta give him credit, he has balls to make a movie about Aileen Wuornos when the perfect movie (Monster) already exists
I applaud Amanda for making it through the whole movie.
I couldn't.
This man is a Tumblr fanfiction author, whose first and most meta-cringey self-insert character is *himself* as a legitimate director of film with any historical merit whatsoever.
Also, subscribed! You've got great presentation, diction, and camera presence, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your palpably genuine intrigue with these subjects. Keep up the quality work, neighbor!
Was that Holland roden? Oh no, this is definitely a step down from teen wolf.
good news, now house of dust is no longer the worst movie she’s done!
i mean, shes not a very good person anyway😭
You know it’s bad when it’s a step down from TEEN WOLF
Aww, Daniel Farrands, what do you expect from a guy who got his start by Dimension (Miramax) buying his Halloween Fan fiction script and making it into Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. The official beginning of the end for Halloween sequels. Granted he wrote it when he was a teenager but he clearly never improved. 🤷🏻
Imagine peaking your potential as a teenager…now that’s just kinda sad
Are you serious?
@@ahardworker2154 sadly yes.
To be fair his original script was suppose to be very competent if not good but it got butchered to hell by Miramax.
@@AJegoist seeing this shit i highly doubt thats true and conclude that he just said that once he realised people hated it
At 16:00 the failed strangling happened Amanda. That women later came to testify against him. I think she was the only woman who actually escaped because he was doing BS of strangling women until they were unconscious and then bringing them and then repeating. She had escaped when he thought she was sleeping and managed to get back to her place. I don't think it happened the way they showed in the movie, but it did happen.
The woman that you said was the mum from something, I realised that I remember as the teacher from Cinderella story.. that also had chad Michael Murray. How is he convincing all These early 2000s actors to jump on board with his movies? 😅
He's basically trying more Halloween films rather than using original script and characters but he exploits these horrible crimes and victims. Ted Bundy is Michael Myers in this movie for no reason whatsoever. It's gross.
Only a Jedi can survive a bizarre experience like this movie, respect👍🏾
Okay, if you want to watch something good about Ted Bundy, there are two documentaries and one movie called "No Man of God". One documentary is on Netflix and the other is on Amazon. The one on Amazon is more about the women in his life, whether it was his girlfriend or the police women investigating him, and even is youngest brother was interviewed. As well as survivors and victim's families.
Luke Kirby is phenomenal and scary as Bundy. He's scary for several reasons. One, he looks like him, especially in certain angles. Two, the behaviors and mannerisms are nailed. Three, Luke Kirby reminds us that Bundy was human, as much as people don't like to admit it, he was a human being who did horrible monstrous things he killed because he wanted to and he liked it. The movie didn't glorify him
I'm loving the pink and yellow lit background. Great aestetic.
I almost feel like Bundy might've been the director's self-insert character in this movie...
I love how outraged she sounds when she calls "Danielllll!" 🤣
a message from paddington:
kindness is kool but so is safety so dont put urself in dangerous and uncomfortable situations because you need to be polite to urself
transcendental wisdom from a bear
I’m sorry, Holland Roden as well?! Sweetie, you also are way too good for this film!!
“We didn’t want to humanise bundy, so we made him a boogeyman with super powers”
IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HUMANISE HIM.
I will say this, Bundy did use the expectation (at the time) of women always willing to help someone and/or being polite to someone in order to lure his victims. He would act like he was injured or just needed help and they would help him.
Can’t he just make, you know, normal horror movies
This background is sooooooo nice!
Because you so often cover relatively frivolous material, I have a tendency to forget your specific academic credentials while never discounting your aptitude. But it's nice to see you bring all that education to bear in describing how dumb this is. He should have hired you as a consultant.
At least a lot of terrible directors people mention create their own movies and don’t disrespect the victims of real terrible murders. Somebody stop him!
At this point I refuse to believe he's doing this for any reason other than clout. Initially, he might of been trying to make something important to him, but I've seen a lot of reviews for his Sharon Tate film. It seems like he's making them more disrespectful as he goes just to get more reviews. Because honestly, who should genuinely think this is helping the victims
Thank you for being honest…..no one talks about how stupid bundy was trying to kidnap people in broad daylight and still telling people his real name i have always thought that was stupid but no one talks about it
15:54 "Herbie the Death Bug: The Story of Ted Bundy" It wasn't Ted, it was the evil spirit of the VW Bug the whole time
