God dammit, Fulci! You had an extended and needlessly cruel sequence killing off a random innocent bat for no reason, but you couldn't be bothered to kill the kid?!
Ive seen this episode probably too many times but it’s one of my favorites. Ripping on Bob never gets old and neither does the feeling of confusion I get from watching a film by Lucio Fulci.
There's nonchalant and then there's ignoring blood splattered floors, sinister eyes in the darkness, shrieking houses, a nanny that abandons a child and vanishes in thin air...
Some people are like this in Real life haunted houses, When they told why it took 5 ~ 18 years to leave the bit despite hating the place. But then act confused why when they visit again no one stay's long?.
I recognized that opening narration from his voice work as Ruhk in "The Last Unicorn" and as Gollum in the animated "Hobbit" and "Return of the King" movies. He had a *really* distinctive voice!
I had to stop the review and hunt for where I heard that narrator's voice before because I knew I'd heard him in something else and it was driving me nuts trying to figure where.
wow, Bob grew up to have a blackbelt in kung fu and graduated with a degree in physics (according to imdb.) I'm guessing with that "punch me" face, his parents made a wise decision with the kung fu training.
Bob is one of the best thing about the film. It fits with the entire tone of the film perfectly. It’s like the whole story is being relayed by a child. One of Fulci’s best for me.
"Mom! Mom! I think there's someone filming outside, and... Oh my god. It's Lucio Fulci! I don't wanna get my head blown off, Mom!" could be worse it could be john waters.
The BBFC actually DID remove footage of Bob. A lot of the moments he’s chased or terrorised were censored too so you may enjoy the old 18-rated versions more. They’re Bob-light.
Thank You! For reviewing this movie my sister and I checked it out,we laughed so hard through out the whole movie. Btw, Is it me? or shouldn't This movie subtitle be called( the neglect of a child name Bob).His Mother and Father absolutely neglected him from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie.This is some good B-movie shit!!!
The screenplay was also written by Bava, Argento, Franco Ferrini and Dardano Sacchetti, from a story by Sacchetti. so there was a LOT of Argento in it..
So, is it true that the doctor zombie says something in German when he shows up? I watched that scene several times but I cant seem to hear anything, I say that because Count Jackula mentioned that in one of his videos.
I remember watching this on DVD years ago (part of a 50 + horror movie DVD set) and kept asking myself "What the fuck?" the entire movie. Although I must admit that the glowing eyes in the basement are still creepy as hell.
Just watched this movie again & this time I'm fairly convinced that Fulci or one of the other writers saw the shining the year before & wanted to do their take on it...that is until the zombie in the end. Hear me out: both movies are about a 3 person family moving to a new, colder, town because the job the man got there was formerly employed by someone that killed themselves in their place of work. In both movies the sweater wearing son has weird unexplained supernatural abilities that include being able to communicate over long distances with someone trying to save them from the evils of the house, and seeing ominous things. Both movies also have a weird "but you've been here before" twist somewhere in there about the dad that isn't super set up & has inspired fans to speculate on the meaning. Both movies have a climax with the dad chopping down the door with an axe. Both movies have the mom in similar hysterics at one point or another, and the dad displaying weird aggression to her about her hysterics. Both dads give up their original research and the reason they came instead focusing on the sordid history of the building (albeit more in the book version of the shining than the movie). And if the House by the Cemetary creators did read the shining book, there's also the wasp attack vs bat attack thing.
Some very interesting points indeed, never thought about that. But even in the end there would be a small similarity, although the parents are killed Bob will still remain a part of the house just like Jack in The Shining. Maybe the writers had a different idea but when Fulci is involved everybody dies. Not to mention the rivers of blood that apparently only one person sees. Or it would be too early and the mother needed coffee first.
One of those movies that keeps the superstition of bats attacking hair alive. Wow, Fulci sure does love his gore, doesn't he? Is there anything that wasn't done to those victims?
Love this one. Those SSQQUUISSHHH & SSSCRRUUUPLLLSSSHHHHH sound effects that Fulci uses accompanying the gore, heh. The kid -- 'Bob' (?!?) -- is the creeeeeepiest part, ffs.
Brad, you should learn Italian, and then re-review all the Fulci films, watching them in the original language(s). I have a weird feeling that the people who dubbed them didn't even listen to the original dialogue, and just made it all up. It happened to a lot of kung-fu flicks, and Japanese kaiju films, too.
Imagine if some guy from Uzbekistan bought the rights to Edward Scissorhands, mixed up the reels, and just made up new Uzbeki dialogue, assuming it was a film about how hairdressers should kill their parents.
If you watch Fulci's "zombi" backwards, it's about people escaping the Zombie outbreak in NY, traveling to a tropical island, and sending all the zombies back to their graves. A dead guy removes a splinter from a girl's eyeball, heals it completely, and then a zombie does veterinary work on an injured shark.
"Mom! Mom! I think there's someone filming outside, and... Oh my god. It's Lucio Fulci! I don't wanna get my head blown off, Mom!"
"Oh, don't worry, honey; you're on the 'eyeball mutilation' list, not the 'explosive decapitation' list."
“Oh, okay. Can I get an eyepatch after?”
God dammit, Fulci! You had an extended and needlessly cruel sequence killing off a random innocent bat for no reason, but you couldn't be bothered to kill the kid?!
The kid dies at the end .. bob is in the ghost world at the end

This is my favourite Snob review. The stuff about Bob makes me cry with laughter.
"And this has been another episode of 'The Cinema Snob Gets Mad at a Kid.'" =D
"Why do you sound 20?!"
@@kennethconklin4140 Because he was being dubbed by a 20-year-old woman.
The Snob's hatred for Bob never ceases to entertain me.
Snob is a Bobist 😬
OH PISS OFF BOB 😡
I think everyone hates Bob haha
I hate Bob too because of the girly boy voice
It's the show's only real plothole.. he hates Bob in this, but loves Bob in Manhattan Baby
There's nonchalant and then there's ignoring blood splattered floors, sinister eyes in the darkness, shrieking houses, a nanny that abandons a child and vanishes in thin air...

That’s where I knew his voice from! Of course a voice that creepy was in The Last Unicorn 🤣
"Is Bob an investigator now?"
Well, he does seem to have the self preservation of an average Call of Cthulhu player, so quite possibly so.
"Oooh I don't think I like you!" I want that on a tee shirt with the Snobs disapproving face.
I would pay for a DVD that has the Cinema Snobs Voice Commentary on it
Snobs reaction to Bob nearly getting an axe in the head through basement door is priceless 😂😂😂
wow, Bob grew up to have a blackbelt in kung fu and graduated with a degree in physics (according to imdb.)
I'm guessing with that "punch me" face, his parents made a wise decision with the kung fu training.
At least Bob wasn't the "Pancakes!" kid from Cabin Fever. Seriously, fuck those movies.
"punch me" face and "kick me in the nuts" voice!
True, Giovanni Frezza was no great shakes as a child actor, but it is good to here he has succeeded in life.
@@shebbs1
Hear*
I hope he avenged his parents by kicking Freudstein's ass
Bob is one of the best thing about the film. It fits with the entire tone of the film perfectly. It’s like the whole story is being relayed by a child. One of Fulci’s best for me.
“I made coffee” while wringing out a bloody cloth. Yeah, it’s all good. Nothing to see here. Move along.
That particular scene never ceases to amaze me.
A stranger mopping up blood and you're totally ok with that?
Then you really need that coffee :-)
The whole movie has an air of unreality to it, like it's a bad dream someone's having. Nobody behaves like a normal human being.
I'll admit, that set of eyes in the basement are spooky af.
"Whathefuck'r'fiddlefaddles?" What an awesome band name that would make.
Brother Theodore! You are not forgotten!
In Bob's Defense,the kid was a crackshot with a gun in Demons.
I love how from this to Manhattan Baby, Bob grew on the snob
Well I didn't ask you, did I? Lousy lesbian.
@@edwardurbin6983 What the fuck? XD
I looked up the child actor playing Bob, because he was such an extraordinarily beautiful kid I had to see him grown up. Well... I wish I hadn't.
@@AlexAndre-cu5ti actually he looks perfectly normal. kind of a weird comment from mintylight.
The boy in "Possession" was also named Bob, lol. He was less annoying, though.
"Anne, mommy says you're not dead."
i saw this movie many years ago and this is the only thing I remember from it likely because it's so ridiculous.
"Mom! Mom! I think there's someone filming outside, and... Oh my god. It's Lucio Fulci! I don't wanna get my head blown off, Mom!"
could be worse it could be john waters.
Now every time I hear someone called "Bob" I am just thinking of saying "PISS OFF BOB!!!"
11:35 Seriously, Fulci? How much blood do you think is in a two-ounce flying mammal, half a fucking gallon?
“Piss off, Bob!” Hahaha! Fucking love ya, Snob. Thanks for suffering through Fulci and Bob for our entertainment.
The BBFC actually DID remove footage of Bob. A lot of the moments he’s chased or terrorised were censored too so you may enjoy the old 18-rated versions more. They’re Bob-light.
I wish Brad would have done his Jack Nicholson impression again by telling Bob he is his number one guy.
@ 7:15 -- Well hello there, Chucky! Fancy seeing you in 1981. :P
If the Snob thought this movie's ending makes no sense, he'd be right. But City of the Living Dead's ending was equally "what the fuck" worthy.
Are you saying the beyond’s ending made sense??? This whole trilogy has wtf endings
Thank You! For reviewing this movie my sister and I checked it out,we laughed so hard through out the whole movie. Btw, Is it me? or shouldn't This movie subtitle be called( the neglect of a child name Bob).His Mother and Father absolutely neglected him from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie.This is some good B-movie shit!!!
Can you blame them?!
Bob's a annoying little shit kill him fulci
I hope you review some more of these movies soon, Brad.
The narrator in the trailer sounded great
fiddle faddle: dollar tree Crunch N' Munch
We need an epic crossover of Ben Tramer, Grady, and Bob.
I remember my brother renting this and sneaking to watch it as a kid, I forgot what this movie was called, thanks for the nostalgia
Fiddle Faddle is basically cracker jacks by a different, less dignified name
I like how at 3:03 the guy's face is absolutely decimated, but it's the scissors that freak her the fuck out.
I demand the Snob do Manhattan Baby! I must know what happens to Bob!
And he later did so for Fulcuary.
SpeedyEric1 I know! I was overjoyed
one thing i only noticed very recently is that "bob" is actually in Demons by dario argento at the very end
Greenwood4727 DEMONS was actually directed by Lamberto Bava. I could easily see why one would confuse it for Argento though.
it was Produced by Dario Argento
Greenwood4727 oh yeah, I forgot. Good catch.
The screenplay was also written by Bava, Argento, Franco Ferrini and Dardano Sacchetti, from a story by Sacchetti. so there was a LOT of Argento in it..
You mean that little kid who was eating that sandwich while he was shooting the demons???
So, is it true that the doctor zombie says something in German when he shows up? I watched that scene several times but I cant seem to hear anything, I say that because Count Jackula mentioned that in one of his videos.
Liked and subbed. U r actually pretty funny on these old but great movies. Good job
Nostalgia Critc has Matthew Broderick
Phelous has Jennifer Renton
Cinema Snob has Bob
I love what you do sir, you and doug are my heros
Wow, Ruuk announces this movie! Good start so far!
There needs to be a Brad Tries episode on Fiddle Faddles.
Put that shit down boy you're gonna play football and you're gonna like it had me rolling 🤣
Snob, you are an antidepressant with glasses. Always enjoy binge watching your videos
I remember watching this on DVD years ago (part of a 50 + horror movie DVD set) and kept asking myself "What the fuck?" the entire movie. Although I must admit that the glowing eyes in the basement are still creepy as hell.
This movie definitely got me saying "what the fuck is going on?" throughout the whole movie
It always seems these Italian films have no scripts, it'd just based on whatever drug induced vision their director had last 5 mins ago 😂.
Babysitter mops up gallons of blood but nobody seems to notice or care.
This movie was REALLY hard to find in my area as a kid... I always found it fun, and it was a real mindshag... lol
mindshag is a good word
Bob was definitely annoying as fuck. Anne the babysitter is also the Mater Lachrymarum in the movie Inferno.
Ally G I love that actress, she was super hot.
Just watched this movie again & this time I'm fairly convinced that Fulci or one of the other writers saw the shining the year before & wanted to do their take on it...that is until the zombie in the end.

Gosh dang it, bobb(y)
That boy ain't right i tell you what.
Fantastic thumbnail
Is that Brother Theodore doing the narration in the trailer?? Love him! First saw him in The Burbs with Tom Hanks
Chill Out, We got the PIZZA DUDE coming!!!
Klopek...is that Slavic?
Say what you want about Fulchi films, he knew how to title a flick so you'd want to see it!
I think the babysitter was under Freudsteins influence..
I feel like Bob would've been somewhat entertaining, if they had gotten the Michael voice actor from Burial Ground, to dub him 😅
Actually. location shots were in Massachusetts and New York City.
I'm pretty sure the spooky eyes in the basement are of the cat that was laying by the tombstone.
How come this video is unlisted now?
One of those movies that keeps the superstition of bats attacking hair alive.
Wow, Fulci sure does love his gore, doesn't he? Is there anything that wasn't done to those victims?
It was weird hearing that trailer voiced by Gollum.
What was the point if the gag in the beginning? I think I missed something.
I watched this movie not too long ago, and you took all the words right out of my mouth. I hate Bob more in Manhattan Baby tho 😂
Love this one. Those SSQQUUISSHHH & SSSCRRUUUPLLLSSSHHHHH sound effects that Fulci uses accompanying the gore, heh. The kid -- 'Bob' (?!?) -- is the creeeeeepiest part, ffs.
Bob was killed by Dr Freudstien in the basement at the end. It was his ghost you see coming out of the basement.
@Shank Adams Yes.
Do the bad guys always win in Fulci's movies?
"There will be a lot of stuff in it that will make me mad... or make me reference other movies."
Anyone who HATES Bob is utterly all right in my book...
Did we just become best friends?
@@MmaSmarty87 Yes. Yes we did.
Looks like the script writer wanted to tell more about the babysitter,but then ran out of idea so he/she just kill her!
You need to do demons 3 the ogre where Paolo Malco's kid is once again named Bob.
The son in The Killing of a Sacred Deer was named Bob too.

I apologize for saying "Uzbekistan". I should have said "Azerbaijan".
18:34 PEAK snob right here lmfaooooo
Bob belongs in a Gamera film, not a dark and creepy Lucio Fulci horror movie!
"Hey, it's the girl from the picture! And she's looking at a creepy mannequin Grace Slick?"
Hehe, "mannequin". XD
The voiceover in the trailer sounds like a drunken Peter Lorre. Or possibly William Hickey.
I love cinema snob videos
I wonder if this movie is on Tubi?
1:14 Oh Yeah! I knew it sounded familiar. That's the voice of Gollum
just realized norman was in fulci's movie the new york ripper. i know he uses the same people a lot but i JUST realized it lol.
The ghost photography movie before ghost photography became cool.
Had me at Brother Theodore...
I think it was written into law that any Italian movie set in America had at least one character named Bob.
I can't get over how gorgeous the baby sitter is
Looks like Yancy Butler.
same. Italian Jennifer Connelly or Laura Branigan.
What kind of parent names their kid "Bob"?
Lol poor Bob 😂😂
21:16 my reaction to most things
Hey that's the guy from The Burbs.
Wait.. There's a better Nostalgia Critic who reviews outside of boring Hollywood POS films?! Groovy.
They're both friends.
My fav Lucio Fulci! ❤
18:40
it's just eyes
it's just eyes
it's just eyes
mr jones.
Joe Bob just showed this movie on the last drive in if anyone wants to see it
My 3rd viewing of this video.. Brad U r fuckin brilliant!!!!
I don’t get why this movie is a part of the gates of hell trilogy if it’s got nothing to do with the gates of hell opening
Watched this when I was 14
Oh Bob...what are we going to do with you....
