@@Doogie95 wow noce
I just realized how incredibly patient The Entity is. It’s the most laid back supernatural killer ever. It just strolls along everywhere. Do you think it admires the turning of the leaves or pets a dog every once in a while?
My head cannon is it does
Compared to most monsters I will agree that it seems so chill I mean you whould think that a demon that is based on killing people that has a bad record on sexual relationships whould probably be I don’t know somewhat more aggressive then walking at the same speed
It doesn't like its job, so it slacks off a lot. Recall at the beginning, it was hanging out in the theater, NOT walking toward Jay's date. I figure it was there for the show.
I hope so
I want to see a horror movie of a Killer like that now. Just a killer who looks chill to everyone else, but never fully stops pursuing you.

You gotta admit, it would still be very terrifying laying in your bed, knowing that a dangerous entity is slowly moving towards you at all times and there is a limited amount of time you can stay at home until you are not safe anymore.

Truly terrifying thought. There's no way I could live knowing that. How tf could you even sleep?
agreed
The fact that It walks makes it so much creepier. I mean if it was constantly running at you, that’s also creepy.. but somehow not as much
less creepy more deadly
Ikr. It doesn't need to run because it always know where you are and that scares ne.
If it was running at you you wouldn't have time to be creeped out. The slow walk lets the horror set in more than a simple fight or flight response.
It walking suggests that its not in a rush
Be worse if it were crawling.
This film is literally that theoretical problem where you're immortal until an immortal snail catches up to you.
I thought I was the only one who thought of that.
I was just about to comment the same thing lol, good to know I’m not original.
Nothing in the original post says the snail is trying to touch you. Also it's still a snail no matter how intelligent. It can't build anything.
I have never heard of that theoretical problem lol
could you not just place a box over the snail and trap it forever
Legit, I constantly think of that movie more than I should.
Oh wow it's you
Same here

Spray it with spray-paint and show it to people

Alternative: Become a flight attendant. As long as the entity doesn’t get on the plane with you, no matter where you go, you will always be a step ahead.
it just strolls through the ocean XD
i feel like the solution is just be asexual. you can never get the curse therefore you never get hurt
@@amalnation4021 My cup of tea right here
You can still get raped@@amalnation4021 .
All fun and games until a flight gets delayed for 6 hours and the entity catches you
Tbh I feel that the best way to defeat it is to pass it on to a sex’s worker because if the worker passes it on and the client of the worker dies, the worker would probably just pass it on to someone else, it would be best if there clients were mostly business people who travel a lot so that it would take a large amount of time to go back to the place that the worker was
International prostitution always saves the day.
Perhaps someone from that one polygamous cult?
@@heavyhitman cults mass-commit suicide sometimes, just a little too risky
isn't that what the movie character do but in the ending something is still following them which mean that failed?
What if those clients have spouses and kids? The spouses will die, then the clients die, leaving all the kids alone as orphans.
I remember putting this movie on for my family thinking it was just another scary movie.
Well it wasnt JUST another scary movie.

I used to watch your vids. really good!
Hi
Bruh why do I always find you in sexual related videos?
Oh god no I'm sorry for you!
Wow, I am most impressed that the film makers actually used real locations and timelines that allowed the entity to consistently travel 3mph throughout the film! What attention to detail!!
is this sarcasm or no LMAOOOOOO
@@killeramphibians wha
It's per average
Lol. They didn’t …it’s speed was averaged over the whole movie .
Theres also a bunch of assumptions made because whilst we know the distances we dont know the amount of time passed exactly, just approximately
If this happens, just turn it into a reality TV series. The proceeds would fund increasingly elaborate schemes to evade, trap or destroy the creature. When you want to retire, pass the franchise on to a new lead actor, kind of like Dr Who.
that deserves way more likes
Definitely
But nobody can see it but you, so they’d think you’re insane.

“It won’t be an exciting life, but it will be an alive life”

A yes the legendary quote of 2020 that moved us all forward
czcams.com/video/SLJYN1bl6fs/video.html
do you mean exciting?
I found out why Sandy lives underwater, please check it out czcams.com/video/4-Pd_LqXmI0/video.html
I'd rather just have an exiting life, just yeet me off this plane of existence.
I didn’t know this movie existed, which is strange, because it was practically filmed in my backyard.
I don't usually watch indie films, but goddamn, it was great.
I didn't like the character writing, but I definitely enjoyed the "creep" factor and decisions the creators made. Examples such as that giant tall dude walking in a bedroom hallway...Or even stuff like an old lady dressed as if from a mental ward, walking towards you out in the open with a limp. Another example I really liked was when the entity stops slamming on the door to its target, takes a moment to look at the person whos next in line on the list, before going back to slamming on the door. As if it was a nod to "yeah, you're next. I see you. Wait there a minute".
Stuff like that is all very well done, and does a great job for its creepyness. It doesn't rely on jumpscares to make you anxious. One of the better horror movies of the past decade for sure.
It’s great. A real family friendly film.
Is it bad that the main reason I liked your comment is because you have coffee in your name
It's the only movie that managed to freak me out a little as an adult. I'd definitely recommend watching it.
I wonder what would happen if the currently cursed person manages to outlive (due to old age maybe?) all the previously " infected" people, leaving the std ghost with no "prey", would it then cease to exist after the final person dies before transmiting it to someone new? I think that would be a way to fully beat the curse ^^
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering
Technically it should, but I wonder if it would consider other people somebody slept with after passing on the curse to someone else.
The demon itself is supposed to be the metaphor for STD. if you’re the only person in the world to get one train STD, and live the rest of your life sexless, yeah that strain of STD dies forever.
Yes! That’s my theory as well. Self sacrifice is the only way to truly beat it.
technically, something matpat didnt factor in would be pit stops, the need for food, water, and bathroom breaks. of course these wouldnt take too long, but it still would have an affect
Or illness. Imagine getting put in the hospital for a week for whatever reason

@@spicychinchin6597 *_Now, why don'tcha come over here? Heehe_*
Who else wants to make a horror movie with this thread?
I’m from the Detroit area and I can confirm that this is true
The most clever thing about this is that when you eventually pass away, ideally at old age, there would be few, if any, of the previous curse-bearers left alive. One end of the chain would be you, but you might be the other end as well. In just one lifetime, by performing this method flawlessly, the entity would hopefully cease to exist along with the chain of sexual encounters.
Also, as the entity can be temporarily wounded, it is tempting to just run it through a wood chipper and see how long it takes to regenerate. Might give you a few extra hours in a pinch.
I'm not dating till I'm 90
Amazing.
Also i'm never dati-
Nevermind
I thought of this too, but there are plenty of other people having one night stands, so new chains are bound to pop up. Also (I've never seen the movie....), are there multiple entities? Or just one and the main protagonist just happens to be the unlucky pick. Cause I'd bet tons of people are having one night stands all the time XD
Alternatively, you could find some way to prove its existence to authorities, which shouldn't be hard with some paint, and test if this thing can be trapped. Authorities will notice it can't be killed and probably opt to find a way to trap it indefinitely. Maybe trapping it in a substance that makes it nearly impossible to move, or a box with a few layers of titanium? Of course, the trapping mechanism will need to be monitored at all times to ensure the creature doesn't escape and if it does, the victim would need to be alerted.
If it can't necessarily go through walls or punch through anything but a rusty wooden door, it might be possible to halt it indefinitely. Or at least for the rest of *your* life.
Yes, this is the best way. Literally just present proof of the demon and then contact the police department, which then will contact the government. Let them deal with this.
@@ka-boom2083or the scp foundation

The entity cannot fly or phase through walls. If you can make or buy a airship that is self sustainable (like having a rain catchment system and a small farm while also keeping a hydrogen generator and solar panels with a battery operational) you could be out of reach for a while but if you need to go somewhere for a good reason you could powerup the engine to get their fast enough for you to do what you need to do and reach the airship before the entity gets there, if you have time before the entity gets there grab some extra supplies.
One thing I wonder about is if the monster transfers from parent to child? If so then there's no easy way to stop it, but if not then living a long life away from the entity is the best way to extinguish it forever.
Sorry entity, as a weeb there is a 99.99% chance that I will never reproduce.

Never saw this movie but the theory was awesome. Loved it.
no, the best solution would be put a GPS tracker on it with an alarm but suppose this doesn't work for whatever reason, next is to make a support group with people who can see the entity(and maybe some that cant to confirm) with enough people you simply take shifts of two people and just follow it, with 60+ people each of them only have to give up at most a day a month stalking it which is nothing. Also if you can pass it on to a previous person that would be great so they can take a break from being chased which would be psychologically exhausting.

I like to imagine someone somewhere out there is managing this and he/she is doing all of us a favor
I don't know if this is a known thing already but my question is, does the entity walk exactly the path you took, or does it take the most direct path to you. If it's a direct path, it would take a little less time for the entity to catch up to you, and your calculated routes wouldn't work, because you don't know if it is taking the path you took or cutting through everyone's backyards and houses just to take the most direct path to you. If that's the case it would be difficult to establish a precise routine, depending on where you go, of course.
My biggest concern is the speed assumption. The Entity is sentient (often terrorizing it's mark). After experiencing the scheduled method of managing it, it could change its strategy. For example, it could walk extremely slowly towards you. Suppose it could reduce it's pace to a snails crawl (still moving towards you), then the calculations fall apart and it gets closer to you than your model predicts. If the entity times it correctly, it shows up when you're sleeping. There is evidence in the movie that it can change its speed. Specifically, when the entity gets on the roof and watches the protagonist run away.
Yeah it's not a constant, it frequently slows down or even stops just for what seems to be its own amusement. It just never moves any faster than a walk
Or it could just camp at your hosuse
They explained why this wouldn’t work at the beginning: “it’s slow, but it’s not dumb”
They established It's rules early on, and imply it doesnt change
@@saaarrj and as the movie goes on you learn they're not hard rules set in stone because it sits still at times. At the pool it even stops in place to think things through and starts throwing things into the pool to try to lure its target out
This thing on a segway would make the whole film a lot more horrifying.

I wanna see an origin story for that monster. Who is the last one on its list? What started the monsters killing spree?
9:11 the average walking speed is 3 mph, which comes out to 72 miles per day, if it never stopped. It literally moves at a walking pace.

Just become a long haul trucker. Better yet: become an international pilot.
Or a flight attendant.
International pilots return pretty soon😅
The only drawback is that scheduling would be out of your hands thus you lose the option to track the entity. You could be criscrossing the country easily only to have the entity sneak up on you during a rest period or layover somewhere in the middle.
Otherwise, this can work.
Bruh I just imagined that in one of those occasions it gets on the plane with you and you realize mid air
Or astronaut
Long distanse relationship is a pretty nice way as well… hits a bit close to home but still
Alternately, make the world aware of the entity, then turn the space program into a rotating astronaut carrier. The entity can't walk into space.
So at one point in the movie, they show the creature standing on a roof of a building and watching the protagonist drive off. Which shows that it CAN stop walking and that it's willing to climb buildings.
Wouldn't this throw a wrench in the plans since we can't really account for how long it would take to climb a building, how many buildings it's climbing, and when it decides to just stop and watch the victim at any given moment?
Dang! Didn’t think about that. So if it knew what you were up to it could actually get you by surprise. That makes it even scarier!
I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the thing is not stupid it will Adapt to your travel and wait for you some where
It could be that it does that out of futility. It's pretty clear it can't really fallow cars so maybe it's like cat looking at squirrels through the window
Honestly, that just adds more leeway to thd schedule.
Yes! This! This comment right here!!
Um, it has straightline pathing and doesn't walk through walls. Seems like a very easy AI to cheese.
Exactly. just put a pot on its head skyrim style XD
Except it's at least of human intelligence. It knows to break through fragile barriers like glass or wood. It knows to take on forms that allow it to go through smaller openings and refused to go after a victim because it realized a trap was set, and instead started flinging stuff at the victim to make it leave.
@@RequiemPoete Nah still easy
Remember, these rules are just the protags hookup at the beginning of the movie observations and intuition. They could be incorrect, not have enough information, or just lying.
@@geraltmoth1908 I think it depends on exactly what info The Creature actually has. Does it know both the direction you are relative to itself AND how far you are or does it just know your direction?
Also does it have the ability to notice and remember that you travel between the same two points every day, say work and home?
Also what are the rules binding it? Is it required to follow you, or can it ambush you? Remember this seems to be a supernatural creature, who knows what it's bound to obey.
This means, at best it can only follow you because all it's aware of is what direction you are relative to it
At worst, it knows not just your direction, but distance from it and can notice if you frequently travel to certain locations and can delibrately not just detour from a straight path ( say it knows to board a ship versus walk along the sea bed) but is allowed to travel to a location it knows you'll likely be, even if it's not the direction you're located at.

The problem is that as soon as the entity realises your plan, it can just stop and wait for you at your work or house. It's slow, not stupid.
In the movie it does stop or go slower than walking, it's just that walking is the max speed....
So ya, good luck with surviving that one... But the thing is, I don't feel love so I'm safe from getting it! 😜
I would kinda feel bad for the entity in this scenario, always walking the same route everyday, basically just an afterthought. 😔
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the director has said it would be possible for the entity to board a plane if you travelled overseas.
Yes because it is invisible and so could just walk on the plane with you. Not sure if the Director mentioned it could actually track down what city your going to, find a flight to the same city, board that plane, etc.

6:20 as a person who lives in michigan, this is quite accurate at times.
Could the entity be countered with a tracking collar attached to some part of it? It didn't seem to react when a blanket was thrown over it but did react when a chair was slammed into it, it tends to react when meeting resistance as far as I can tell. If this were the case, attaching a tracking collar to it would probably be ignored by the entity, which has the twofold reaction of always knowing exactly where it is and allowing those who cannot perceive it to be able to.
Honestly, you could probably just be a trucker and it’d be alright
Yeah but not everyone is cut out for that lol it's a good plan though pretty "entity" proof honestly

Man gotta love how just cool the entitled like they kinda do their thing like they’re just walking and doing their own thing the whole time
Here's how to get rid of the entity for good: share it online. Share everything about it online. Videos, pics, stories. After a while, it's gone. Where did it go? I'll give you a clue. *Secure, Contain, Protect.*
I know its a bit overused, but what if we somehow make its target 682, we could lock them into perpetual conflict forever, assuming they are both within 682's containment environment together
Or just do what another comment or said and make the infected class D go inside the infinite ikea.
@James Bissett they are the foundation, knowing that, and knowing *them* , it is fairly likely that they would try something of that sort in due time. the safest way of doing so would probably be to use some other SCP by first passing the entity onto it, and then transporting said SCP into 682's containment, I haven't browsed there for a long time, but it wouldn't be a far cry to assume a capable entity with resistance to the materials in 682's containment, and there appears to be a concerning amount of SCPs that have the effect of increasing sexual drive in series 3 alone (checking it now)
I'm sorry for giving you this information, I truly do apologize
EYYYY WE NEED A LOT OF D-CLASS COUPLES
Scp
Two things:
1. Getting an injectable tracker (like the type used for animals) and having a friend inject it into the Entity while you keep it's attention and direct them would take all of the guess work out of this. The main benefit to that is that you would then always be able to see EXACTLY where the Entity is. On top of that, it completely removes the guess works and margin for error, so you won't end up being blindsided one day because you messed up the math.
2. I love MatPat, but he seems to be ignoring one of the rules of the Entity here: it always walks in a straight line directly to you. It never follows roads, paths, or anything of the sort, but simply walks in the direction where it can feel you, only changing course to go around objects. This is good because it means that hills, buildings, and the like can very much slow it down, but also very bad because it makes it more unpredictable. You would have to figure out the exact path it would take from where you were previously, where it would run into obstacles, how long it would take to get around those obstacles, and plenty of other things as well. This is simply too many variables to keep track of.
I honestly think that this is a very nice and simple solution, but one that will fail eventually due to simply not being able to predict things accurately every time. Not to mention that a single off day where you mess up one calculation (once you are used to the Entity enough to not worry enough to calculate things multiple times), and you are completely screwed. I think that putting a tracker in or on the Entity, and then monitoring it remotely is the best, and safest solution. Humans are way to flawed creatures for MatPat's system to work indefinitely after all
We don't know if it's skin can be pierced, you could try a sticking tracker but we also don't know if it can just get rid of it.
It doesn't behave or resemble a normal human being in any way.
@@Viking_Raven A fair point, for sure. I was very sure of my solution at the time, but rereading it there are plenty of flaws.
@@Viking_Raven if its skin can be pierced by a bullet a needle should work
I don't quite no how trackers like that work, but wouldn't it eventually run out of battery?
@@bougiereaper It may not be perfect, but its testable. it appears that one can be vigilant enough to track the creature whilst awake and looking so that can be used to see if the tracker is still on it. The only question being if its intelligent in a way that would make it not take it off immediately to get your guard down.
What if the entity adapts and just starts waiting for you to return
Great comedy. 5 laugh out loud moments. And some great analysis.

@Deserve Not Desire What did the bot do?
The biggest advantage you have is that the entity is physical and would be easily provable to those unaffected. Instead of going at this alone, you would have hordes of people coming up with various plans to get rid of it and without a doubt government powers would get involved. Collective manpower could find the curse's origin and find out how to break it, or if not, make life with the entity a livable one.
Yeah kinda makes this theory pointless
Idea: Mass orgies so everyone can see it, and everyone has a smg to obliterate the creature whenever it appears. Though that would spread std's plus have gun safety issues. People could also have a sign to prove they aren't the entity, like a special scarf or a question that would be asked before a timely mass-gun line execution. They could also theoreticly contain it underground in a special facility.
@@arrtes6479 lol first creature of the SCP
@@arrtes6479 Or get proof it exists go to the government or something of the like/ go public with it and find out the orgin of the entity.
Its phisical but invisible for anyone except the victim
put an Airtag on it, grab an old iphone and stream it on a monitor so you'll know if its close
And I thought all you had to do was lure him into a house with no windows, getting out through the back door and lock him inside, steel doors would do the job.
That isn't the only way to beat the monster, it isn't even a particularly good way. The thing is susceptible to kinetic energy and stopped by barriers. Keeping it off its feet by shooting it with a shotgun long enough to trap it in a cage wouldn't be so difficult. Once it is trapped, you can live your life without ever having to worry about math. Maybe burying that cage in some cement would help relieve the "what if" factor.
honestly, he wouldn't have to be caged forever. just long enough for all the curse subjects to die out. but let's be honest teens like to go around town like rats
yes, I have plenty of time to do this, while this entity follows me I totally a have enough time to made a hole big enough to cage it
@@liliecoffey8846 have someone else do it.
Or... you could just use paint and alert it to the authorities and let scientist figure out how to dispose of it.
I remember when I was a teen and had money for a human sized cage, shotgun, and was a Olympian hole digger.
Video idea: Film Theory or Food Theory:
Is the food in Harry Potter safe to eat?? They're cooked by unhygienic house-elves or prepared by magic. Some of the stuff they eat are alive.
And beans make them sound like a lion or burst smoke like a train! Which would change something to create such sounds
That's actually a pretty good idea for food theory
oh plz no Im not done reading the series
even though thats a really good idea
@@alexthegs2624 I didn't know if he would class it as a film theory or a food theory, so I left it on this one because I was earliest to here
@@unknown_persons Ooh thats a good idea
@@dazor5212 the train would cause something to change
a tip when surviving the entity: its basically a human but its invisble it can shapeshift and also it doesnt use vehicles it is immortal and it knows where you are, at ALL times. Also i think it uses the shortest possible route to you, and it never stops moving.
I found this very helpful last friday
SCP Foundation: Now this looks like a job for me
just put it in the infinite ikea
@@flamestoyershadowkill6400 turning the ikea into a thaumiel class, love it.
I could imagine the containment procedure would be something like making D-class personal bang with multiple witnesses to make sure the curse has passed on.
@@theisjepsen22 or just lock the thing up
@@aarontheperson6867 yeah but we don't know how strong it is all we know it can't go through solid objects.
Can't you just dig a hole somewhere (in ur garden or something), get that motherfricker in side the hole and then pour in quick setting concrete and then secure that sh*t.
いyes
the minecraft method
just build 2 blocks up and bam, he can't get you
@@arlo4639 200 iq move
@@arlo4639 nah your gonna need 12 blocks so you can trap it in a cage with only one opening
So you can make sure that its still their
The best way is to basically lock it in a box, and send all the way to another galaxy.
I know how to beat the "thing".
Dont pas it on, because if he/she dies it will just come back for u.
But since the "thing" cant go trough walls, you can try to lure it in to a vault that nobody will ever open again. Or if you can lure it in to a box with thick metal walls and lock it up for good. Then bury the box in concrete.
I don't think that the "thing" can teleport.
Then live happely for the rest of your life. You could perhaps pass it to a person who knows about it so you have to people that can stand guard if the containment should breach somehow 😉
Isn't it a bit unreasonable to assume the entity would use the side walk EVERY time? I'm pretty sure it would most likely cut through a forest, park, or whatever else.
That’s why still plan your safe distance taking that into consideration. It’s obviously not gonna stop for red lights, construction work, a fence blocking the road, etc. So plan your distance farther than the safe distance if that makes sense.
Yeah, It's shown in the movie to walk a straight line. Or more accurately, the path of least resistance. It'll skip a sidewalk if the field is easy to walk on. But thick brush it takes the trail or road.

There's one rebuttal to the money issue: The military, especially one like the USA's would be very very very interested in a near invincible, near invisible, relentless killing machine.
how would that work?
the soliders would frik all the world leaders
@@santacatarinaball7091 Go to a recruitment center or training camp or the like, explain the situation, get captured and used as a labrat until the bigwigs figure out how to weaponize the curse. ...? Profit?
@@sunname6252 The military absolutely would protect you and use you or have you intentionally pass it onto an agent so they can use it for assassinations. The only tough part would be proving it exists as It'd essentially have to be right there while your explaining it.
One once they are assanated the entity will go to the soil dears two what is this Russia
There’s one real answer to this: Legos
always
👏👏👏
im sure the united nations would come after you for that type of war crime
Just wear lego armor
say no. you can't follow somebody without there consent
Is it actually possible for the entity to cross the ocean. Like you said, massive storms and tides and all of these things would totally have their way it.
Even if you consider that it's completely tireless
Step 1)Get a remote/work-from-home job and sell your house.
Step 2) Buy a pull-behind camper for 1-2 people.
Step 3) Drive across the country as much as you want while doing the math on where it is. Your job comes with you, no need to stay in 1 place.
Bonus points: Make a computer program that uses your location and math to constantly track where the entity likely is so you don't have to do the math ever again the hard way. Allow for manual adjustments to correct the program from time to time (Maybe an "It's here" button?)
This is one of the easiest horror monsters to deal with if you just get a job that allows/forces you to move a lot.
what matpat isn't taking into account is that it doesn't travel the distance or route you travelled. It always takes the straight route from where you currently ARE
If the route is straight then what's the issue?
@@jolenemathews As a rule roads are not straight. and as pointed out in the vid it won't walk through walls, or fences, or doors. It will break things, but generally these would be uncontrollable variables in your calculations. It could be predictable given time and data. but Matpats solution relies on a 19 year old being able to afford this burden while existing in a world functionally identical to our own.
@@sofakingcool1555 dont trackers exist. just pop one on it, and paint it blue. record a video of it in a populated area and have others see it as well.
@@sofakingcool1555 also it doesn’t walk through big crowds usually, so that could buy you time
@@jolenemathews if you have studied 8th grade maths or physics, then you would know that what matpat is talking about distance while the entity takes displacement. in the video all the examples of routes used are not straight. and there is no way there is a completely straight route anywhere from your house to your job
I would love a spoof of this movie where it is from the monster's perspective using the ideas from this video.
I can just hear the audible frustration from the creature, where it is just two steps away from the plane the target is boarding just for it to take off.
Annoyed sigh of the monster as it starts its 15.5 day commute against
