SAME!!!
Same! Even when I disagree their breakdowns are so good!
Same lol they always have the same opinions on films as me so might as well watch these two for spoiler reviews ;))
SAME
Totally agree
That picture behind you is startling 😂
That's me, getting up for work on a Monday morning🙄😆🇬🇧
@@user-eh8cg4bp3yword 😂
For me the grove ties in when we see his wife has cancer it’s clear he sacrificed her to go number 1 which set off a chain of events to lead to the Halloween show which got the number one ratings but not in the way that he planned.
I’m pretty sure his reactions to everything happening is not bc he doesn’t know what the grove does but more so disbelief bc while he knew he had to sacrifice his wife, he didn’t know it would lead to his downfall in this way so I think he’s overwhelmed and trying to deny what’s happening and keep his cool over everything. I think he’s a nice guy that got wrapped up in fame and everything was just way over his head which the grove took advantage of.
Exactly!
I maybe wrong but the young girl was raised to be sacrificed for Abraxas as well right? So he was duped into sacrificing her thinking it was his wife?
@@ManilaSlim I believe so!
@@ManilaSlim I saw the movie one week ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Funny…that thought actually just crossed my mind this morning and then I saw your comment. I also think that the guy in the skeleton costume was either a member of The Grove or another survivor of the Satanic cult.
I'm so pumped for this. David Dastmalchian deserves to be a frontrunner after almost 20 years. Awesome character actor.
I agree he plays lots of side characters that are so memorable
I found it interesting how the Cult he was involved with worshipped an Owl creature, and his show was called "Night Owls".
It was a nice way to show how the Cult was directly involved with every part of his career and his show.
When a movie makes me go "is that it?" but at the same time be glad it's over... it could've been better
I felt the same way
It was awesome and a good time
But reviews had definitely hyped it up.
Adding the Bohemian Grove was a plus in my books! The images in the film were so eerie for those that have looked into it! Thought it was a clever fun film. Will definitely be added to our annual October spooky movie list!
The film still behind them is my expression when I find out the last $5.00 Costco rotisserie chicken has been sold.
☠️
The grove is Bohemian Grove. It didn’t make him tabloid fodder and was actually listed among his accomplishments.
I'm surprised more people aren't familiar with Bohemian Grove with the whole Alex Jones espose.
@@steveoshei1819 right? I was shocked as I scrolled through and didn’t see a bunch of people mentioning it!
@@steveoshei1819Same, especially with all the buzz about it on TikTok now. I’ve known about it since the early 2000’s when the History channel started doing their edutainment stuff on conspiracy topics.
@@steveoshei1819my jaw dropped when they started showing the Grove stuff, it made a lot of sense why there were so many production companies then. Goddamn no film executives would ever approve of that being in a movie
@@thequinlanshow3326what that
The issue imo is that the plot depends a bit too much on the viewer knowing that the group that Jack is part of is a real secret society called "the Bohemian Club".
I saw this movie with my friend who also didn't know about The Bohemian Club, so she didn't understand the owl symbolism and the references to "The Tall Trees".
The big conspiracy theory is that the Bohemian Club conducts esoteric rituals at a place in northern California called "Bohemian Grove" which is surrounded by California Red Woods (hence "the tall trees")
I don't think you need to know about the cult. I just saw it, and I don't know anything about the real life cult, but the movie mentioned entertainers go to this "camp retreat" (that's assumed to be a cult). When the girl said they met before, I knew he was messing with spirits in the Grove. The hypnotist had already asked him for an invite (being an ass).
Am I the only one who was disappointed in the film?
I liked the lead’s performance and it had it’s moments, but I was mostly let down.
No I was too
Same. I was so bored..... im confused how so many people are raving about it
No same here was bored only redemption was the ending ig
This! It was boring and needed to delve more into either the characters or the backstory
Everyone oversold this movie by a long shot
I like the part after the girl floated in air, when they cut to commercials, that guy stood in front of audience and said "PEPTO BISMOL IS GOOD FOR TUMMY ACHES" 😂😂
That happened when the mind reader threw up 🤦♂️
I am so excited about this film! Love the '70's vibe.
The little girl was giving me Veruca Salt. Love this review!
There is a real thing called bohemian grove that the cult in the film is %100 based on
I was really confused why there were so many production companies at the start of the movie, and especially non-american ones. My question was answered within the first five minutes of the movie 😂 I actually could not believe what I was seeing, the balls it takes to put something like that in this movie is insane.
Its based on Alex Jones explanation of Bohemian Grove, which is about as realistic as Jones's other nutty claims
@@bryanrhodes369 except they used actual clips of footage Jones recorded at the Grove. It's a real thing. Alex Jones is absolutely insane but about 20% of the time he is completely correct and has actual evidence. There's a video of him sneaking into their meeting on youtube you can watch, it's insane
The Expressions you give each other cracks me up. I bet you're hilarious in person(s). Great Video guys.
I really wanted to go in this movie blind, but I just can’t help watching you guys 😂
Me 2😂.
Same.
I looked it up after I watched it 😅
Yes these two are gold but i do hold out until I watch it first
Now this is the review I have been waiting for,,,,have at it lads I am all ears
These guys remind me of the “Men on Film” characters on the In Living Color sketch comedy show.
Hated it! (I don’t hate it thats what Blaine and Antwon say)
Omg! I love those guys! ❤😂
Miss that show
I give it two snaps up
Michael Ironside!! I knew that voice was familiar. Mr. Darryl "Scanners" Revok himself.
Sir Darkseid himself.
Ham Tyler in "V: The Final Battle" back in 1984. He was quite the badass!
See you at the party, Richter!
Questioning what a TV Host thought the group he joined was all about - and being naive was important! This grieving TV host put himself in various stressful situations. Made me think his 'weakened' mind was a playground for manipulation perhaps. You were funny with the cultish links comments!
Hey guys, love your reviews! Just finished watching this and I loved it.
**spoiler**
I think he originally sacrificed his wife, because they said she got lung cancer but never smoked. Im thinking he did this to get his ratings up but he never really achieved it until he brought the devil to his show.
Also, with him “killing” the girl at end, he saw his wife and she was begging for him to kill her. I found it interesting that he killed her with the sacrificial knife, i wonder if thats what the Devil wanted..
Some questions left unanswered, but I think it’s cool how we can come up with our own theories and conclusions lol
Just saw the trailer for this. Excited for this review!
Love the detailed review!
Nick’s facial expressions are always wonderful.
I love these guys! One of the best channels on CZcams. ❤
The movie captured the 70’s vibe so well !
The “Grove” cult in the movie is based on bohemian grove which is a real secret club where all the richest and most powerful get together and do worship and owl looking god.
Thank you. Will be seeing this Saturday night
Thank you for this review!😀🤗
The tall trees was a huge hole for me. That would’ve been nice for a back story
The issue with the tall trees bit is it only makes sense if you know that the group that Jack is part of is a real secret society called "the Bohemian Club". And the big conspiracy theory is that the Bohemian Club conducts strange rituals at a place in northern California called "Bohemian Grove" which is surrounded by red woods.
Yes I was waiting for this review!!❤❤❤
Ngl I thought this film was about Diddy. Thanks for the review ⭐💜
😂😂
I was so confused at the end. Was the girl's possession supposed to be fake? Was the guardian the lover of the host before the wife died? Were they all knowingly staging a hoax that backfired? And if he sold his soul before his wife died and she's been dead for over a year, wouldn't he be upset that he's still not number 1 on TV? Up until the last 5 minutes I liked it, but it didn't scare me, it made me laugh a lot.
I am super excited to see this one. The theming looks incredible and it looks like it manages that realistic vibe even with the premise!
Excited! This movie was on my radar
I didn't go through this entire comment thread, but I didn't see anyone mention that psychic character seems to be modeled after uri geller and the skeptic seems to be modeled after The Amazing Randi.
Interesting stuff lol
It really made Night Owls appear to be a knockoff of Carson, hence why it never lived up to Carson’s show.
Omg! Totally! Duh! That’s man!
🙋🏾♂Heeeeey you guys! I miss yall! 🙂 cant wait to see this movie thank yoou!
Loved it. Enjoyed this film thoroughly, although I have questions about the ending. Loved the way the included the audience.
I love the Straight Jacket tee on Nick. Just watched it last week on you tube for the fifth time or so. Very rewatchable. 🥰🥰
I just got home from watching Late Night With The Devil and I really enjoyed it. For some reason my showing had Spanish subtitles. I got used to them being there though and could ignore them after awhile.
Really looking forward to their review of immaculate
I'm getting it confused with the new omen, but immaculate looks better.
Ikr. I’ve been hearing mixed things about it. I’d love to hear their take.
I trust yalls opinions on films I haven't even seen. Thanks for enduring the crappy ones for us.
Joseph and Nick you guys are looking lovely together per usual. Both of you guys are wearing purple, although different shades of that color and different types of shirts, and complimenting one another.
Just got out of the showing, I think the whole worms allegory was a great layer to the “ Mr. Wriggles”, like the entity , and in gus, and the hypnotizing ideas of what we think we see. Also it’s funny when I think Gus does a quip about his head spinning to Carmichael before the sit down. I think for Christou there was a sense he got the boys death info from a screener from the audience, and that the bile he spews out to death could’ve been the demons monkey paw twist commenting on the bile of lies he says when he “magically “ can foresee the dead and speak with them.
10:12 dang sounds like Bohemian grove. Always a little truth & disclosure in movies
That's what I'm thinking it's an allusion to. I saw this movie at a film festival, and that was the first thing I thought of with that plot point.
They’re called “The Grove”. I’d say that’s about as on the nose as it gets. I’m saying the same.
It's definitely referring the the Bohemian Grove. The owl, the tall trees. I could be wrong but I think the film uses actual photos of the Bohemian Grove during a voice over segment.
It’s definitely referring to that place, group, and cult in Cali.
Great video!🎉
It’s Jack.
thank you 😭 was driving me crazy lol
Well, Johnny Carson wasn’t desperate to sell his soul to the devil so to speak.
Found Joseph's review for this on Rotten Tomatoes.. it brought me here!
Oh hells yea!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly, I think that ending was needed art imitating life life imitating art whatever you wanna call it they’re showing you in plain sight how they really get down in Hollywood procedures needed to reach that success the price someone is willing to pay for fame
Im shocked neither one of yall caught on to the fact that it was heavily implied that he sacrificed his wife to the devil in the grove for his success
Right? Like I would go so far as to say it was out right stated in the final moments of the film
I don’t think anyone missed that.
Awesome breakdown
When she makes the check disintegrate, she says abracadabra as a callback to earlier in the film !
Sound like a very interesting film. I like the horror elements I might check it out
I really loved this film!! This blew my mind a lot, mostly thanks to the way it played out and the way it ended I loved! It was so good and so satisfying!
The title is a metaphor for the host.
I love this movie because it’s more like a twilight zone episode where the moral is that your actions have consequences as opposed to a traditional horror movie.
Saw it today. I must say, it seemed to be as much a very good attempt at re-creating a 70s TV show, as it was a horror movie. Because its a TV show re-creation, it may actually work very well on the small screen in ones home. I loved the creativity. I also loved David Dastmalcian as the lead. He was super duper.
The skeptic Carmichael Haig seemed like he was obviously inspired by magician & skeptic James A. Randi a.k.a. The Amazing Randi. Randi was a staple on 1970s and 1980s talk shows & debunked quite a few psychics live on TV. Like Carmichael, he also carried around a blank check if anybody could prove to him the reality of psychic phenomena. Randi also co-founded the Committee for the Scientific Claims of the Paranormal (pronounced psy-COP), which sounds very similar to IFSOP, the organization founded by Carmichael. Carmichael called himself a self-admitted "charlatan," and James Randi kept a sign on his house that said, "Randi--Charlatan."
In addition, James Randi came out as gay in 2010 & I thought the film was coding Carmichael Haig as gay. After Christou spews the bile on Carmichael's jacket, Carmichael protests, "This jacket was a personal gift from Charles Laughton," who was a Hollywood star of the 1930s who was in the closet. They're really making a lot of parallels between James Randi & Carmichael Haig, but I thought Haig was way more dickish than Randi was in real life.
Glad somebody picked up on the Amazing Randi connection! There’s no way Carmichael wasn’t based on him; there are way too many similarities!! I always loved his insights and studies and seeing him debunk psychics, astrology, etc
me and my gf are going to the movies today and both are horror movie fans
which to see immaculate or late night with the devil????
Where can I see this and when does it come out?
Good review (:
Just watched this at the cinema, unlike anytning ive seen before, what a film, absoloutely loved the ending
Did you see the new Ghostbusters?
Yes
I loved the end!
it is possible he never witnessed an actual conjuring and chose to believe it was all just ritual for sake of getting ahead, but not "that real"....and at the same time curiosity propels him to keep taking more and more steps to conjuring the demon. It is also his reckoning.
This is like if Reagan actually got semi treated by the psychiatrist to live with the demon instead of Chris MacNeil going to an Exorcist.
I have a suggestion for you guys. You should put a time stamp in the description on when you give your rating, that way people can easily jump to it if they don't want the spoilers just yet.
Well it says spoiler alert I'm the title so I think that people will know what they're getting into.
Just saw this and came to CZcams because I knew I missed some things 😂.
I agree I thought the host, while well acted, just seemed too naive about the entire occurrence. That was the fault of the scripting, not the acting. In the end when everything was being spelled out it didn't immediately dawn on me that this guy had made a deal with the Devil at the Grove because the entire time he didn't seem to know what was happening nor did he seem very ego driven. It should have showed him with more of a darker personality during the behind the scenes takes.
Overall it was a fun horror film with some good tension and suspense in places.
I saw his attitude start to change when the demon spoke to him. He didn’t start to think any of it was real til that happened. He said “how did she do that ?” He thought it was all an act not that the devil had come to collect or that it was his wife was what the devil took as a sacrifice. I think the moment he realized the the truth about his situation was portrayed perfectly by the actor
@@markfarrens7733One problem is that we don't know exactly what happened at the Grove or how seriously he took it. I guess it's possible he never took any of it seriously. Perhaps he engaged in the ceremonies for fun but didn't actually believe in the devil and then when all of this happened he was shocked.
The deal was probably made to sound sweet and simple but had the price tag of what happened after midnight. Less is better. There was too much of the opening exposition in my opinion. An off handed comment from someone or simply the devils line about the tall trees is plenty for me.
All you need to become a member of the Grove is a lot of money and some kind of artistic interest. Its kinda why G W Bush got into painting
My only complaint about this movie is they should've hid Jack's involvement of being in the cult in the beginning of the movie....
It would've served for a good plot twist, especially if Jack was portrayed as someone who is a skeptic about the supernatural and uses his return to the show as a way to be playful at the idea of supernatural things going on during Halloween season.
this is the one!
I loved every part of this movie. I like how you said the cult members were in the audience that adds an extra layer to it.
Yesss
Just been back from watching the movie and I LOVED the ending. And you definitely can’t say that for most movies.
It was just Meh !!! It didn't live up to the hype for me. It was okay, but it won't be one I revisit often.
Same
Well didn’t they say in the beginning if a particular ritual was done and witnesses all who witnesses will fall victim to it? That would be why all of this happened on tv?
It doesn't seem possible that if you were filming live you could "play back" the tape back in 1977, and the grove feels like such a dead end
This movie is basically Ghostwatch meets WNUF Halloween Special.
It’s heart breaking a bit to see this thing get the love that WNUF deserved 10 years ago lol
I was expecting more. Just kinda fell flat.
While I do think its unfortunate they used AI to help make the art for three of cards used in the movie. I don't think this warrants a total boycott of it like a few people are saying. Before that I have been hearing mostly petty good things about the movie.
Essentially because it means one less job and less creativity. The AI used essentially copies the entire style of classic Halloween decorations, something an artist named Austin Pardun recreates by hand and is pretty popular. Coulda paid him to do it and got something a lot better while supporting an artist!
@@kenbogus136 Something YOU wont care about. When executives are able to throw together a movie with AI and suddenly there is no jobs for the thousands of people who work on films, they will certainly care. First it's not hiring someone to make 3 title cards, then it's not hiring someone to make sets, then its not hiring CG artists, then its not hiring makeup or costume designers, it's a snowball that only ends in the entire industry becoming a soulless heap of uncreative slop that's produced by AI. AI which just takes aspects of existing artwork and doesn't give credit or pay anyone it steals from. The "look" they got was literally the art style of many existing artists, like the one I named. It's not difficult to license an image from him or even commission an original piece. They did it because they were lazy.
"The Grove" like all things in this movie (ie the pyschic debunker being James Randi) is "Bohemian Grove." A real life 'cult' of powerful people who meet to worship the owls once a year. Theres like, thoudands of members. In reality it's just a way for them to form connections. Carson would have been a part of it. It is mentioned several times over the course of the movie, generally regarded as a place if debauchery (which it was). They show you pictures if it, it's just a bunch of old farts floating in a pond. Obviously they don't summon demons, and one wasn't summoned live on air in 77.
Similar to Halloween 3 plot, if you seen that.
Gods, I’m hoping this is good!
So far it has a 100% RT critic score with 59 reviews so I'm guessing you won't be disappointed.
Just saw it in theaters, it was refreshing to see a good horror film with a unique concept opposed to the majority of horror films that come out that are all the same…
I loved this film!!! The movie company logos at the beach kept tricking me HahHah I kept think it was starting.
There were like 8 or 9 studios highlighted in the beginning! 😮🎉
Same 😂
Immaculate review had me in stitches but I have to see this without spoilers so I have to pass..😢😂
The movie was silly and laughable.
No, the demon was unleashed when Jack killed Lily. That is what the synopsis is saying.
This movie was so good I gotta watch it again to see the little things , I seen the wife in a mirror during the black and white scene so creepy
I just got home from the theater. I loved this movie!
Are you going to review winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
If we get a screener, sure.
If we get a screener, sure.
How do y'all get to watch movies before general public release?
Most movies have pre-screening and you can go to it.
@@SSSS-wq4vn thanks!
In addition to pre screenings in theaters, a lot of film critics are offered screener copies in advance for certain movies to help build hype for the movie's release. I've actually watched a pirated movie or two that had bands of text on the bottom saying "pre screener copy, do not distribute." For the record, I don't stand behind pirating, and haven't done so in years. Artists deserve to be paid for their work.
@@mollyt1296this
I took from the movie that the Grove group and the group that the child came from are one and the same. Especially seeing the leader in his full outfit standing out from everyone else in the crowds, I have a strong feeling that's how the child would know Jack from the "tall trees"
I just don’t get it. I think I’m desensitized. It wasn’t scary. It was messy. I had too many questions. Meh. Now that’s just me my opinion! ❤😊
Thanks guys much love and respect as always!! 👏🏼❤️🔥🌈🥰💯
The Grove t is a real place and real group that actually hold real gatherings and rituals. The film was inferring he made a deal to sacrifice something for his success and that's why his wife died.
I wanted to know the consensus on the movie, but I didn't want any spoilers yet. So I had to skip to the last minute of the video. I will revisit after I've actually seen the movie.
I saw this movie tonight in theaters and I enjoyed most of it except for the ending
I think this movie could have worked if a different director had been on board " maybe someone like Sam Raimi"!👍💋💯
I agree
