The movie should have used the song "bye bye bye" by N*sync.
Jackie Brief ジャッキーブリーフ my thoughts exactly! I'm almost expecting a ton of videos doing the same thing once this movie gets released on dvd.
Now, I can't stop thinking about N*SYNC when I think about the Bye Bye Man.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or in the scene where the lead character is in the car and he's listening to the radio if that's the song that came on instead lol
The MPAA rating is destroying an entire movie genre (at least what will be seen by its primary demographic at theaters) by imposing ridiculous demands on horror filmmakers to water down intense scenes...the essence of this genre. It's like demanding that comedy directors make funny scenes less funny. Thankfully, there is a growing outlet for uncut horror on streaming services.
The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man would be a better movie
Kinglier you say this jokingly but id kill to see someone try to make this a serious film.
Dude, you need to trademark that name right now! Or else, someone else will put out that movie.
Potential title for next movie: The Die Die Man ( diarrhea man)
I watchеd Тhe Byе Bye Man full movie herе twitter.com/f97804b3ff0856506/status/813942776714792960 The Bуye Bуe Mаn Mоvie Rеview
The Wii You man. Oops, thats already taken.

the later gator
Bye bye man returns: Hi hi dude
Melinoe Rose
😂 😂
Melinoe Rose hi hi woman
You got me....
Great coment!
sounds like a pot movie
I remember seeing this in theaters. When it was over, I heard someone in the back say "wow, that was bad."
That's a shame, because the original account of it was really interesting. "The President's Vampire".
In the book, a group of people tried to come up with a sort of urban myth or group hallucination, and ended up scaring the hell our of themselves.
Why have R as a rating if it's not used?
It was originally advertised as an R rated film. But, then the studios decided they wanted that PG-13 rating to get teenagers in the theaters. That is what he was saying. A PG-13 horror film can be very effective if it is filmed to be PG-13. But, this one was shot as an R rated movie, and they cut a bunch of stuff out to get the rating down.
Nic Winstead Art here is what gets me upset about editing r rated films to pg-13. The marvel movies, with the exception of deadpool, are completely fine as pg-13 films, but if you have a film where there is a lot of violence and people getting shot, just go all the way and make it r. Don't try to censor the violence when ever we see waves of people dying, because it's just dumb.
As a teenager, i am offended that hollywood's bigwigs assume that i can't get into R rated movies just fine.
carlosdafox The trend of PG-13 horror began during my high school years and I fucking hated back them. The only thing I wanted to see as a weird 16 year old was blood and guts, Hollywood took that away from me.
DumbPunk seriously, I remember when I was sixteen and trying to get into a rated R movies. If we couldn't than we would try again another time. I'm not 16 anymore, but I'm pretty sure teenagers still do this. Hollywood needs to stop watering down their movies. If your making a movie that kids have no choice but to watch, once they get older the odds of them liking it is very slim, cuz they more than likely they didn't like it then either.
While the concept sounded interesting, the fucking advertising for this stupid film instantly ruined any chance of me watching it. Like am I the only one who hates whenever they show the monster in the FUCKING TRAILER! But what absolutely killed it was when they compared the "Bye Bye Man" to Jason... -_-
Honestly the best way I saw this film working was if it was focused around one character who was the only one to see the "Bye Bye Man" because it was a very long time night horror he would constantly experience, the character is so haunted by it that he's actually going insane. But that's just my idea. (And while I don't like kids, there would have to be a childhood backstory that shows how he got the horror of the "Bye Bye Man")
Pyroskies I think you would like the movie "It follows".
Sounds like Stephen King.
+Pyroskies Why not use normal intelligence, and don't care about the advertisements whatsoever? We all know that the PR departments have nothing to do with the director of the movie and the actors. When you chose which movies you want to see, you read the reviews and listen to the words of mouth. Normal intelligence...
the icup man
the attic man
1:00
God damnit.
So... it's a bad bad flick...
It's like one of those "straight to SyFY" movies.... in January. You make the call. =)
so stay away from it? because I've never seen a good straight to syfy flick. Granted its left up to interpretation.
I don't even like the idea of the Bye Bye Man. What a stupid rule for a monster that anyone can accidentally think of it's name or say it. At least Candyman required you to say his name in front of a mirror repeatedly for him to be summoned.
John Klein Freddie kruger. Easy.
I'll just have to wait for the "Director's Cut" or the "Unrated Version" to see the real movie
Does it get revealed that the Bye Bye Man himself is the one who carved his name into that desk at the start? Because if not, why would anyone who was trying to stop the spread of his influence carve his name anywhere when they were writing "don't think it, don't say it" all over the place?
Going off the Double Toasted review, this seems like a problem throughout the movie too, as the main characters keep telling other people the guy's name when they know they shouldn't be doing it. I can put up with a bit of stupidity in my horror characters, but not that much.
The actual "Bye Bye Man" himself doesn't even look that scary. He's just a guy in a hooded trench coat and tan shirt :/
I know what you did last summer anyone?
Well damn it, now I just lost The Game.
Doug Glassman I know we trusted him.
HAPPY NEW YR C..Hope to see more this yr from u bro.
"The emotion of a turnip" is possibly the funniest thing I've heard in weeks
Happy New year .the best movie review show on youtube👍👍👍
This is my favorite review that you've done!
VFX comment - as a VFX artist who has to do this stuff they sometimes do it in post so that the Director has control over the 'look'. However the time and money it takes to make this look truly realistic ends up having it being a false economy. HOWEVER the amount of times in MANY VERY FAMOUS films we have to repair onset special effects, costume malfunctions, etc is beyond the pale. I recently worked on a MASSIVE TV show for a pretty well known online channel and spent weeks repairing wigs that were f*cked up onset. So swings and roundabouts.
Apparently, or so I heard elsewhere on CZcams, it originated from an urban legend. The basic story, as I recall, was the BBM was a disfigured serial killer, who travelled by rail like a hobo with his dog. He came to his end (somehow) , but could be summoned by his name. I am sure I've probably messed this up in the retelling, but I'm pretty sure that was the gist of it. I think he was mentioned in a book about a American urban legends.
Sounds great... Can't wait to see it..
And "The Worst Name for a Movie" prize goes tooooo .....
Didn't need to watch the video to know this one was going to be a stinker, but as always great review and video Cecil. Keep them coming.
From what I heard this is based off of a book. It's based off of a two sentence story in a "Ghosts & Urban Legends of the South" type of book. The Bye Bye Man has a 2 Sentence Origin.
So many unanswered questions: Where did the Bye Bye Man come from? What was with the coins? What's with the dog? Why was this godawful movie made? Either a lot got lost in translation, or they were counting on this being successful and planned on answering the questions in the sequel. Here's an idea. Hire Mike Flanagan and have him write and direct a prequel. He took the steaming pile of cinematic feces that was Ouija and made a prequel that was one of the best movies of 2016. I have no doubt that he could make a prequel to The Bye Bye Man that would be nothing short of amazing.
I was looking up the book the other day too and you can find the story in two books by Robert Damon Schneck. I'm real curious since I guess he's also in some group that assists people who have witnessed supernatural instances, so I was hoping this was maybe some story based on some kind of "true story".
Now, I can't stop thinking about N*SYNC when I think of the Bye Bye Man.
The story you're looking for is "The Bridge to Body Island" by Robert Damon Schneck. You can look on Audible, just put in the author's name and you will see "The Bye Bye Man and other stories" by the author. Just thought you would want to know if you didn't already.
loved the Pontypool mention. Pontypool is such a great movie
it's written by jonathan penner, an amazing 3 time survivor player
holy shit your not joking.......thats hard to picture
You know I normally never watch a review of a movie before I see it, but even I could tell how horrible this was going to be. Now I'm enjoying the reviews quite a bit. Especially yours, since you know horror.
The Boogieman ? No. He waves " Bye Bye". Not the Boogieman, the Bye Bye Man. Oh...now that's REALLY scary....
Kids today have no idea what Pan And Scan means!
I will never understand dulling down a n R-rated movie to a PG-13 unless it can be done well. A lot of movies get an NC-17 rating first time then they can tweak and scale to an R, usually without the film suffering. It's like with PG-13 they lose sight of the big picture and just want that rating though
imagine the situation between 2 Bros where one of them is leaving the house and then one of them says "bye, bye man!" are those guys fucked now then?
There will be an uncensored DVD/bluray and it will be a lot better than the theatrical release.
Honestly, I don't think anything can save that hot garbage can of a script or the wooden acting. They may fix a few of the choppy edits, but, I don't see any way they can fix the movie.
The home release has cg blood added. Not very convincing cg either. I guess it's better than bloodless shotgun blasts, but... :\
Can you review the new film split please looks interesting and would be great to hear your thoughts on it
Well occasionally movies released during the early part of year are surprisingly good, it's to be expected considering that January/February are the notorious dumping ground for movies that the studios think are going to suck.
The book is actually just a chapter out a strange but "true" story collection. So it's not actually a horror story in the book, more go a creepy "true" story. The book was originally called "The President's Vampire" now for the sake of movie marketing has been renamed "The Bye Bye Man."
I heard Buy Buy Man and survived after a shopping spree
I just lost the game
Fcuk you -.-
The actress at 4:00 is Cressida Bonas...
Even with bad blackened eyes and mouth CGI, you can still easily tell that that's Trinity. She deserves better, in every regard.
! think the story comes from a book about American urban legends. Don't remember the title of the novel only that it was "weirdly" funny. Also, I saw an ad on CZcams for an unrated version, once. The infuriating thing about this movie was the marketing, which made the film much scarier looking.
The bye bye man could have worked as like a lore around slaves escaping the south through the Baltimore railroad (like Frederick Douglass). Maybe the bye bye man was an infamous slave catcher that collected coins for his bounties. Bye bye could be a corruption of the slave creole word babay, which also meant goodbye., or Bebe, which meant mute (like you can't speak his name). You'd have the librarian with an autobiography of her great grandma (a literate slave) telling the story about her encounter with the bye bye man. His real name was a closely guarded secret and he tortured slaves to make sure they never spoke it (so they called him bebe, babay or bye bye man). The film would be about the corrupting power of self interest, where the monster promises freedom from his eternal enslavement to characters that are willing to kill their loved ones. The hound could have a collar made of human teeth. The bye bye man would be condemned to have the branded tattoos of every slave he killed all over his body, and if he infected you, your back would grow a tree of whip induced scars. if anyone else thinks this piece of shit is salvageable and you're as bored as me, let me know if you guys have ideas.
Exactly, barely any blood with a goddamn shotgun
This is on Netflicks atm, and i have been tempted to watch it. I am glad i haven't. Maybe you could do a few of the Netflicks films, i know there are channel's that do, but i love how you do your reviews.
It actually wasn't bad. Flawed, yes, but fine. There are much much worse horror movies out there, than Bye Bye Man. Just don't expect too much of it.
I'm not opposed to PG13 horror, but they are still inferior to a Rated R horror.
Agreed, if you want PG 13, then do one from the outset. Ffs.
First time
You and jeremy jahns agreed on a movie
So this must be trash
Honestly I stopped really watching Jeremy... I prefer Stuckmann personally xD
I don't like to be prejudiced against movies before I see them, but...when I saw the similarities in the trailer between this and the first OUIJA movie, that decided me about waiting till Netflix for this.
“A dull horror movie, with a terrible name, that has nothing even remotely scary about it.” Unless one counts Faye Dunaway...
A movie monster that gets stronger by people thinking of him? They should have called it the Meme Man.
for movies rated R in the U.S, they come to Australia with a MA15 rating. when something is R rated here you know there is going to be a lot of gore and other stuff.
so having said this, it really sucks when an U.S R rated film is chopped down to PG ratings before it gets here. this movie was selling at local supermarkets and my eldest daughter said it was Lame for the exact same reasons you mentioned. not even the so called jump scares made any of us react.
And... although I didn't see any of the marketing, but I hear there was a lot of manipulation of scenes... i.e. scenes were changed during the marketing of the movie to make it seem more scary(?).
This is a "F--k you it's January!" movie.
ah, pontypool. you should do a vid about it!
apparently this man is an avatar of nyralethotep.
So it's not actually a entity bye bye man that kills people, but random people who hear the name and snap?
If I were in this position, Id try to negotiate with the villain to continuously say it's name over and over to grow it's power in exchange for safety and immunity of the psychological horrors.
Good review
Seems like they tried to do the Babadook and failed miserably...
Is it bad enough to be funny? Is it something like Troll 2? Will I enjoy it if I watch it at home with some drunk friends?
Kaze Vongola i think so
A drunk viewing would be fun. Trust me, its not worth wasting any money on. Wait until Netflix or Redbox release.
Watch Kill Bill on tv. they edit it the same way. they zoom in so you can't see the graphic violence.
Dude you need to see the invitation!!!!
SPOILERS BELOW!!
If you do not want anyone to think of or say "the bye bye man", then here's a great piece of advice: DO NOT CUT IT INTO A DRAWER FOR ANYONE TO FIND!!!!!!!!! Also, if I were the lead character (I can't remember his his name in the movie), I would have stolen Dead File 69 and I would have ripped it into shreds and burned it to a crisp, then I would have taken the drawer with "the bye bye man" cut into it outside and I would have chopped it into pieces with an ax and burned it. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Most digital pans ever.... Multiplicity
Two guys 1 girl....NEVER ENDS WELL.
what if you say "buy, buy man" to your friend would you get haunted ?
How do we save this genre?
Nothing to save. The genre does just fine on the profit side with those Blumhouse jump-scare marathon movies or found footage flicks made for the cheap. This genre is probably the most consistent as long as they keep their budgets small. If you mean by quality.... eye of the beholder or what this channel is predicated upon. Bad for some can be good for others.
alot of young ppl see this movies you wont believe how many young ppl think this is good , thats why this movie wanted a pg 13 but all this new horror movies are crap,like transformers they make money but that dnt mean they are good
Stopping making 90% of the film's pg-13.
The genre needs a break
westben2000 we don’t. Let it die.
"I'm not gonna spoil anything..." *Proceeds with minor spoilers*
because hard review without do minor to me always watch it
Do a review of the accountant!
The Bi Man
The Buy Bi man?
The E Bay man?
Good Review.
bye bye man is one of the stupidest villain names ever
The Unrated cut is better; they should've stuck with the R-rating.
A lot of people will be saying Bye Bye, Man to that one.
Known in some Latin countries as "El Adios Amigo". I hope.
It seems to me that the whole PG 13 rating on horror films seem to be the kiss of death.
Nice shout out to Pontypool.
I just watched it, I enjoyed it.
How do they get away with Walking Dead level of gore on TV, but cannot make a movie like it without a R rating?
Doug Jones' Windego in "Skin and Bones" was the shit.
Speaking of the MoH series, you've seen Cigarette Burns, right?
The esta la vista man or known as The Terminator.
Wasn't there a movie on like Cartoon Network or some shit with the same premise
The See You Later Alligator.
The Farewell Fellow
Already know the film is bad just by the trailers but I'm still gonna watch your review
man as a horror movie fan. it really. sad to see these current horror movie's.Are nothing but jump scars. America horror movie's. are not what they use to be.
I thought this movie was already adapted previously
Here's a hint - If editing an R-rated movie to PG-13 means compromising the quality, then no one will want to see it!
I'm just wondering, is it cheaper/easier/less time consuming, to use crappy cgi or have a reasonably good make-up artist on set. I'm just trying to think why such decisions are made.
The concept isn't actually new by any means. Freakazoid used it back in the 90's with the ghost guy...what was his name...oh yeah! Candle Ja-
Candle Jack the movie?
DAMMIT!!
I just lost!
Another epispde of BadBadFlicks
Bye bye movie: Don't watch it, Don't think it!
I was more pissed at the guy's band shirts. Its like they couldn't get the money together for the licensing of Joy Division or Violent Femmes, so they tried to make the guy seem "cool" by wearing the shirts of bands Im pretty sure he would know nothing about.
The Goodbye Guy.
