Netflix "original" films are often pretty bad because they'll pick up stuff from festivals that no other studios wanted at a fairly cheap price. And they don't really care if people watch or not because they're making the money back on the subscription fees which they keep raising.
This. So many people need to understand this
Indeed, Netflix cares about viewership only to the extent that it impacts long-term subscribership (on a 💲 *:* 👀 basis). This is an indirect, after-the-fact effect requiring considerable trial and error.
In general, I don't mind their "throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks" strategy. One subscriber's trash is another's treasure, after all. I can ignore others' favorite content as easily as they can ignore mine.
My main criticism pertains to Netflix's treatment of its original series, which shifted from "continually renew almost everything" to "cancel anything that isn't an immediate hit" around 2018.
This film is based on a book.
Which is probably how they ended up aquiring Cuties
That explains it. I was wondering about the low quality. Sundance festival rejects.
My favourite thing was when the ghost smashed up her scale. I needed a helpful ghost when I was unwell
Same, the husband really tried to fucking gaslight her so much the ghost really tried to help her got of her ED.
Sometimes you can be your own ghost if you embrace alcoholism lol
@@sadmermaid LOL
@@sadmermaid I’m have anorexia and waste so many of “my calories” on vodka already. 😂
this movie would've been good if they made it an "abused woman becomes friends with ghost of dead abused woman and then dies of CO poisoning throwing the existence of the ghost into question". That would've been interesting
why would she die of co poisoning tho? and wdym throwing the existence of the ghost into question?
@@papasscooperiaworker3649 Because at 10:30, Amanda says that most hauntings are caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. If the wife was being poisoned by it, then the ghost could, in fact, not be real and something else is going on
Oooohhhhh
that’s kind of why I liked The Turning. i liked that they made the ending into one that’s more realistic and would explain all the events that happened throughout the movie.
this kinda reminds me of another netflix original - I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives In The House - but minus the abuse from the woman in the present
I honestly think this could have been good as a miniseries in the style of the haunting of hill house. I like the idea of parallel stories of the horror of regular everyday abuse and supernatural horror but it felt like they added too much yet didn’t accomplish anything
I totally agree, this movie could have been a miniseries and would have been alot better.
It seems like it also would’ve been cool if the paranormal stuff was all manipulated or all in her head and wasnt real :/
@@micahcook2408 Or if the reverse happened and the abuse was in her head or the abuse was caused by the spirits to make her feel calmed by them and bring her closer the them while making her fear her husband and push him away when he was actually trying to help her and get her out.
I don’t think it could’ve been anywhere near as good as Hill House tbh. Hill House has great source material as a classic horror story from a feminist literary icon, an insane amount of film making talent involved, and a truly amazing cast. No shade to the cast on this movie, they probably did as well as they could, but it’s difficult to give characters like this any development when the writing is so trope-y. Haunting of Hill House should’ve won so many awards, and Victoria Pedretti was ROBBED of a nomination, she was SO good.
Like. The production for the episode Two Storms alone is better than this entire movie imo
Its already similar to Bly Manor with the ghost wife telling Amanda's character that she'll make sure she doesn't feel pain when she dies. Like how Ms Jessel did for Flora
The women, who I can't remember her name.
They went to this place, for some reason.
They were talking about something, I can't remember what.
This movie is too long.
Pretty much sums up most Netflix movies.
Accurate, I save so much time and money since I ditched Netflix 😆
@@ArtificialPerson Same! We added on Discovery+ and it's probably my fav streaming service now. Screw Netflix.
My bf likes to call these favor movies. Like a friend or an exec that helped her asked Amanda to do the movie and she did lol
Haha I love this!
The only thing my brain was capable of getting from this movie is "hey it's Karen from Mean Girls"
That's it, head empty
the whole time all I could think was "oh that's the girl from Mamma Mia"
@@doityourselfbombs Same but tbh im shocked i knew because last time i watched mama mia was in like 2012
Oh don't say anything, when Amanda said "the wife does x" and it showed Amanda Seyfried as the "wife", my brain broke because I still associate her with the mean girls movie and see her as 20. I know it's unfair to like 35 year old Amanda Seyfried, but I didn't buy her as a 35 year old mom because of that.
@@youtube-kit9450 I dont understand how didn't "buy" her as a 35 year old because she played a high schooler nearly 20 years ago... Mean Girls was 2004 everybody!
Honestly I love Amanda (Seyfried) so much but her as Karen is so intertwined in my mind that every movie she does my first thought is that it's gonna be a Karen esque character
Once again Amanda is out here reviewing horrible movies so we don't have to! 🙆♀️
@Kid SKC no we'd have to watch em
Preach, I love how Amanda does our job for us!
We'd all be posting reviews, and they wouldn't even be as good. She's saving us so much trouble! 😭🤍
Shit I’ve already watched it!
✍️ Never watch a movie without Amanda reviewing it first.
Amanda's out here doing us all a favor
I'm sorry, you can't stop me, I'm going to wear the haunted jewelry.
Worth the brutal murder it brings? lol
Yeah it's vintage chic what can I say.
Pandora could never.
Diamonds are forever...so are the spirits of murdered soul sisters. Show her you care with the new ghost charm from pandora.
This movie sounds like it was written by a Junior year film student for a final project where they wanted to make an artsy high concept horror film and so took a bunch of haphazard baroque story elements and cool sounding plot twists and just stacked them on top of each other
11:03 I actually feel like there's a really good idea in there. Maybe the story is about them moving into this old house and the wife is scared about a ghost, but the ghost is actually benevolent and trying to warn her about her abusive husband because she died in similar circumstances. But make this the LAST scene, where the main character is finally starting to realize that her husband is a bad person, and as he's attempting to lure her back in the ghost keeps breaking things to show he's lying. It could be like a climactic finish or something
Also the story should definitely been shorter
imo removing the subplot of the original house owners/boys' parents/the cycle of deaths and the evil presence to make this a movie about a benevolent ghost who helps her with her ED and her abusive husband would have been so much better
That is a good idea.
Ju-On (the Japanese movie The Grudge was based on) was something like this.
Here's a summary of this entire video
Amanda: "The husband is trash, too many ghosts, what's that character's name again??.....TOO LONG"
lol
Thanks. This seemed like a long and boring review.
I’m waiting for the video about your epic Dr. Phil appearance. I’ve only watched bits and pieces, but it was enough to know you’re the star. You’re baby. And nobody puts baby in the corner.
She was on Dr. Phil’s?!!
@Hello Abe yesss bb we stannnn
@@isabelgonzalez4662 the clips I’ve seen so far are so damn good. She just keeps calling him on his lies and bullshit. It’s hilarious.
Wait what?? Omg we need to see her talk about this!! Epic!!!
WHAT
What's interesting to me is that Things Heard & Seen is absolutely, 100%, an Amityville Horror movie, but for whatever reason they did not want to put Amityville in the title. The characters have the same names, the themes are all the same, house on the water in New York, etc etc the similarities run way too deep (I've seen everything they slapped the word "Amityville" on). And as a film in that series, it's extremely good... by comparison to most of those absolute trash heaps.
Okay I noticed that too?? It's like a discount version of it tho. 😂
maybe because the amityville stuff is based on real events and they didn’t want to disrespect real dead people...
I thought so too, and I’ve never even watched them myself. I’ve watched reviews of Amityville stuff, and just through that alone I kept thinking that this was that.
The premise of a woman slowly finding out about her supposedly perfect husband secretly being a fraud and murderer is interesting, but the ghost stuff was unnecessary and distracting.
agreed.
I think the ghost stuff could have been interesting as like the idea of how patriarchal ideas lead to men hurting women in a constant repeat like a haunting. But it seems like they started with something like that and made it too messy and religious.
Reminds me of the movie shutter
It was fun when Harrison Ford did that in “What Lies Beneath”
All that murder just to be an untenured art professor???
Yep. In the middle of nowhere. To live in an unhappy marriage and being an art professor in the country.
The whole killing of Katherine like before the last 1/4 felt super weird and early.
Right? My theory is that bc of a covid surge they had to rush into a ending
It doesn’t make any sense to me either during the dinner scene they say that good always triumphs but then she dies horribly but her husband goes to hell? Like how is that justice where’s the good winning
@@MePatra the justice is him going to hell
@@bnemel5 yeah i know but that's just not enough. catherine still died before the guy got to hell lmao it's still weird
"we've got the same name, that's half the battle." Is.... So much a mood.
yup which is why diana ross is the best classic musician ever.
I do like the idea of an abused wife being protected from her abusive husband by the ghost of the former “lady of the house,” it’s just too bad that it was executed poorly. Like, the wife being freaked out by supernatural stuff that keeps happening but then slowly realizing it’s only ever gotten violent or dangerous around/in response to her husband…..becoming more curious about the presence and reaching out on her own (not via a seance bc I find those soooooo hackneyed and usually poorly done), a climatic scene near the end where her husband has reached his most violent and hell literally breaks loose all around them and the wife stands calm and confident amidst the paranormal activity because she has come to trust in and find protection within the presence
Not related to the vid, but GURL when I saw that you were on Dr. Phil through “The Viewers Voice” I lost. I was like YAAAAASSSSS GURL GE IT. I’m so proud, have a nice day Queen.
I saw bits in Def Noodles’ video, and loved it! I’m eagerly waiting for Amanda’s video about this episode. She confronted the “Segway Guy” (can’t remember his name, lol) with such aplomb and confidence, and didn’t let him get away with his lies and misinformation. You go, girl!!
@@TheCatWitch63 she is probably under a contract or an nda so there might be a bit till we get a video :P
@@MrL1as ☹️. That would be a bummer, but I understand.
What?? I watch the viewers voice but must have missed that video. Amanda is going on Dr Phil?!
Yeah!!!!!! I also totally want to give Amanda one of my paintings(no money of course)....and that Dr Phil guy can get one too I guess... for real dough I got you Amanda!!! My Insta is @catpawz.... in case ya wanna check out things I create🤙🏼‘cheddar
No one:
Amanda: once again I'm here teaching ghosts how to properly ghost
when i saw the trailer i, for some reason, thought this movie was going to be about some kind of cult or maybe the husband just gaslighting the wife, so I was a little confused when there were just straight up ghosts.
Was literally about to watch this last night with my boyfriend but I’m so glad I watched you talk about how bad it was today so I don’t waste my time. I just ended up watching an equally confusing and stupid movie on Netflix called Stowaway. You should watch that! They didn’t explain anything, they didn’t answer any questions I had, and the end was stupid as all hell. It was a great time.
Oh yeah Stowaway was SO much worse lol
@@myrrthsicopath Man I feel like watching it but I dont wanna be uninspired
It's so slow and nothing really happens lol. It's also so unrealistic. Hated it
as soon as you said their room smelled like exhaust, i was hoping everything was just from carbon monoxide
Looks like someone watched The Shining while high and thought “nah, I could do it better”.
the least believable part of this mess is having the life you've always dreamed of in academia
Haha 😂 🤣 😭
this
This is the truest comment.
At one point you were like "my college would've made us car pool there, find it yourselves". One of my professors freshmen year had us go to a museum for a project we had to do and it just happened to be in a corner of the city that I've never been to before so I almost got lost going there. I wish we got like a bus or something to get there, would've saved us all time and travel fees
In my experience, if the main character/wife/victim gets killed earlier in movie, whatever ending the writer plans on executing will not be satisfying in the least.
Idk I just feel like whatever consequences come of the bad guy doesn't do much if they get away with killing the victim :/
horror/slasher movies:
Is it true that you’re going to be on Dr. Phil to talk about Tanacon?
Update: I’m watching the episode now. I’m so happy for you! 😁 Thank you for putting Michael in his place. You handled his childish attitude extremely well.
She was! First ep. aired yesterday and part 2 airs today (3pm EST for my local area).
I found the part 1 on youtube yesterday on DR. Phil's channel if you wanna watch it
@@meganchambers8108 I dont wanna support Dr Phil but...yeah I really wanna see this
Link !
I wish they gave her more time because she was killing it
@@herefortheshrimp1469 Why not? (I'm not American so Idk who Dr. Phil is)
We’re really going to need a Woman in the Window review. I’m not sure why I got hyped for it. 🥴
I second this!
You should definitely have all the information you need to understand a movie in the movie. I’m watching a movie, why would I want to go read articles to figure it out
Can you review the Woman in The Window movie on Netflix with Amy Adams if you havent seen it or if you have seen it can you do a review video on it please please please I have so many thoughts about it and would love to know your thoughts as well
Did you watch the entire movie? I couldn’t make it more than 15 minutes. The dialogue and pacing was absolutely bizarre.
@@MrSkeltal268 Yes I forced myself which I now regret. Did it give you horrible anxiety? Like you said the pacing that almost put me into a full blown panic attack I stopped it but finished it the next day because I thought it was going to be this elaborate twisted movie and it wasnt. Almost 3 hours of my life ill never get back. The ending sucked it was just weird and anxiety inducing
Damn what is this movie about! Are you okay now?
That movie was bad but low key entertaining too
It was insane but I liked how crazy it was
The best part of the film were the cast, Amanda Seyfried and Natalia Dyer in particular. They gave unconvincing, memorable performances, despite the mediocre writing.
Ha I thought I recognised her. I just could put my finger on her name
i think james did a nice job being a shitty character
Okay now I know why I was so damn confused by the trailer. Is this a ghost story? A thriller? What is it? And now I don't need to bother watching it and being mad LOL
The hand motions when she said ,Maybe I'm just built different, I don't know," made me laugh.
Thank you Amanda, my class ended 30 seconds ago and I just started looking for a video to watch
Likewise, Amanda is always timely with her updates!
Not 30 seconds 💀
GREAT JOB ON DR PHIL BTW. I SUBBED TO YOU TODAY JUST FOR RIPPING INTO MICHAEL ON DR PHIL. THAT WAS AWESOME TO SEE U CALL HIM OUT LIKE THAT. HE DESERVES IT. HE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR TANACON. TY AGAIN
Welcome, you're in for a treat. Amanda aka Swell is gold.
I LOVE USING CAPS LOCK TOOOO!!! ;) :) :)
So…..this movie is based on a book that apparently got popular and a movie deal was put into development, and the ending is slightly different from the film, yet it doesn’t clear up anything about what the theme(s) of this story is supposed to be.
Spoilers for the book below:
The father ends up getting away with the wife’s murder and he lives in that same house with their daughter. The daughter reaches college age and moves away, her life doesn’t go well and she feels lost in life. She comes back home and the dad is old, weak, and partially blind. She doesn’t get along with her dad and they have had a strained relationship most her life. She can (somehow) feel her mom’s presence in the house and feels comforted by it, but doesn’t question it much and just kind goes with being able to sense her moms ghost. She ends up falling in love with and moving in with the 14-year old boy who used to babysit her and do landscaping who is now grown up/older. The dad is left to (presumably) die in the farmhouse when old age finally takes him. She never finds out what actually happened to her mom, but I guess we can feel comfort in knowing the daughter is now happy…..??? And the cycle of abuse is “broken”???? (I guess????)
I just don’t understand why the mom was “destined” to die essentially and why this home seems to “attract” abusive couples.
I find it a very strange ending and honestly both book and movie seem to not have much of a clear direction to them. I have seen people offer up better ideas of how to work with the components of the story and basically all of them sound better than both book and film. It’s unfortunate it’s yet another film that doesn’t have any cohesion to it that leads to some sort of satisfying end.
It seems like every other day Netflix releases a bad to mediocre thriller or horror film that's super popular for like a week and is then immediately forgotten about
One of the reasons I don’t watch movies is that I’m always on my phone researching about the movie, actors, etc, instead of watching the movie.
I’d love your review on Netflix’s “The Woman in the Window” I couldn’t get through more than 15 minutes.
Omg I watched that too, it was weird
It was sooo predictable and boring :(
Isn’t it just another Rear Window wannabe?
I haven’t watched the movie but the book was rather interesting
Gotta watch Katya and Trixie watch it on Netflix's YT, might enjoy it then 😅
That's why us bigfoots usually don't watch human movies
Hope you're doing well Mr. Bigfoot
What did you think of the bigfoot representation in We Bare Bears?
Yesterday a video from Amanda The Jedi, today a video from Swell Entertainment! The internet Amandas are keeping us fed with content!
Northern Amanda and West Coast Amanda
I need Swell to do a series reviewing the worst rated movies
Great idea!!
7:00 snape just chillin in this girl's room
I would’ve made the lady ghosts smooch and live together in the afterlife.
as someone who grew up in an environment like that it can get "supernatural" once you said "he said I love you and their daughters light exploded" I was like "damn I felt that"
I wish they were better at storytelling because a relationship like that feeding into the entities in the house isn't unheard of. It's a good concept: horrible execution. A lot of times when a couple enters a house in ghost stories the abusive part is due to one of the family members being possessed or slowly falling into possession. These energies are used to feed the poltergeist (or other entities) that haunts the family/house in regular stories. It would be interesting to see the concept of people who are inside that dynamic due to their own selves be placed in a situation that symbolizes how far their violence goes. It really sounds like they have good bones but their storytelling was so chaotic that they didn't know how to really write it. The ring subplot could have been and should have been completely scratched.
I thought this was on the poorer side of okay until it got to the end and revealed that the opening scene, the one revealing the wife's bloody corpse and the kid covered in blood before flashing back to one year earlier (or whenever), had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie. I honestly think they forgot about it?? That made me so mad that it went down an entire star in my Letterboxd rating.
THANK YOU for reviewing this. This was one of many Netflix films that I’ve seen lately that was just awful. I was so frustrated by the movie because it had some potential but devolved into pointlessness. It’s a recent trend of Netflix films to start off with a decent premise and completely fuck up the execution (Things Heard and Seen, I Care A Lot, Deadly Illusions etc.).
The sheer disjointed explanation basically sums it up. Lets us know what a train wreck this was gonna be
Netflix at this point just wants to mix genres and lure new customers that's all they don't give that much attention to the plot. but the production always comes thru
If they just ignored the ghost plot, and accelerated the story after the start of the murders, and went for a different moral, it could've been a half decent movie.
Watching now, but just had to say how awesome you were on Dr. Phil! They could not have brought on a better person to represent the experience. I wish Michael would just stop with the excuses, and you didn't let him get away that. You did great!👏👏👏
Michael is clearly insane. When I heard he was going to be on I didn't expect him to completely fabricate his story that was in the news, has had multiple videos and series all corroborating the facts.
I screamed when I saw you on dr Phil omg. You really made it
I agree with Amanda about putting on jewelry you found in a spooky old house. It's not even an attractive ring. Not my jewelry so why would I start wearing it?
Really, the only time I'm ok having to do indepent research to understand a film is if it's a particular cultural or period/historical reference that I'm not familar with. Many thanks for attempting to make sense of these bad movies, Amanda.
Your appearance on Dr Phil was BOMB. You sure got your point across and held him accountable!!!!
I'm very happy I subbed to your awesome channel Amanda :) this is another in depth, humorous and overall awesome vid, I also highly agree with how you feel about the story development of "showing not telling" its good to have the context shown to us, to make a complete story with no homework lol keep up the awesome content!
I totally felt that comment about the bus. One of my freshman English professors had us come to a (required) renaissance dinner at her house in a city an hour away from campus. We had to carpool and freshman weren’t allowed to have cars on campus. So the class had to depend on the few people who lived in off-campus housing who also had cars. All of us were illegally packed into cars like sardines without seatbelts to get up to the dinner.
Required? Wtf
Here as soon as I could be, but I NEED to see the Dr. Phil video!
I feel like this movie is just a crap version of the first season of AHS, just all mashed together in the worst, and most boring possible way. Also, your comment at 19:09 made me snort-laugh. 😂 Have a great day!! 🥰💖
Please make a video about your experience on Dr Phil!!! I would love to hear your side ❤️❤️
Bless your hard work Amanda
yes!! Just watched this! so glad your talking about it lol.
So far the best movie released on Netflix this year was The Mitchells vs the Machines which was great.. and even then it's not a Netflix movie, it's from Sony Animation so that makes things worse
Edit: Wish Dragon was also good. Wtf Netflix stop letting Sony do shit for ya
This came in just in time for my lunch break 👌🏼
As awful as this film is, my dad and I truly can't stop coming up to one another and saying "did that movie really end with the villain sailing off into a painting?"
the way you described it makes it almost sound like it was supposed to be a convoluted allegory for the cycle of abuse/domestic violence or something but executed about as poorly as physically possible
I recommend Gothika with Halle Berry as a better ghost movie with similar themes.
This would have been better as a mini-series or regular series as they could have expanded on the abusive husband’s life and many deceits, Cathrine connection to the ghost, her gaining confidence to stand up to him and discovering his lies, affair and murders while struggling with her eating disorder, the whole ghost story and how history always repeats itself in that house as they are all interesting ideas and could make a interesting psychological horror drama or if split up 2/3 intriguing movies. Sorry for the rant I’m a film student and can’t help but think all the ways I’d do these type of films and the changes I’d make.
This is one I forgot I even started and gave up on until you started showing the clips. This review was far more entertaining than the half of it I could stomach. I
Def the earliest I've been here - thank u Amanda for saving me from terrible films 🙏
That comment you made on having to basically having to extracurricular research on a film to get it rings so true!
I agree. Having a director, producer, writer, etc. need to clarify certain nuances post production seems like an opportunity wasted to meld the details into the story without confusing their audiences.
The only movie I didn’t have this issue with was Tenet, even though I had to research “entropy” to fully understand the plot. Still thought it was cool 😎
I would've made _'Things Heard and Seen'_ better pretty easily, I'd have stopped them from filming it.
Problem Solved!
xAndyx
Thank you! For giing us this summary and saving us from wasting 2 hours of our life.
I love this review that is so accurate! Not as an excuse, but most of the bad Netflix movies are also based on books so all the extra details are trying to stay true to the book but doesn't translate well to the movie. Assume the book is always better than the Netflix movie lol
Netflix is like any other studio/network. They make mostly stuff bad/don't care about. And they're guaranteed to cancel something you absolutely LOVE.
Things heard and seen was bad
hahahahaha damn that was the nicest “I don’t give a shit” I’ve ever heard 😂😂 great content, solid reviews, subscribed 👍🏽
I would love to hear your take on the green knight since your on a reviewing movies that "try to do to much" kick. Love how you call out the doing supplemental research thing that a lot of movies have been guilty of lol
Amanda, I totally agree with you. If you have to give your audience homework just to understand a movie, it does not work as a movie. Simple as that.
Also, you are a hero(ine). Just hearing and watching you trying to talk about the movie sounded exhausting on its' own. The fact that you watched it twice to make sure you understood the movie is beyond commendable.
My Letterboxd review: "Amanda Seyfried puts up with an absolute piece of shit of a husband, and the evil haunted house is little more than a mild annoyance at best. I like a slow burn as much as the next person, but this was an absolute no burn."
Hilarious that a Netflix ad played at the beginning of this
I love these reviews!
This movie would've been way better if it was like an exploration into abuse and the effects it has on the people around you. We don't know about the abuse, or it's mostly hidden from us and then as the movie goes on it becomes more and more obvious.
If they truly wanted to do the ghost stuff, they could have it be that she's imagining things, or it's him gaslighting her into not trusting her own reality. Like she's so desperately searching for some kind of help or comfort after he's cut her off from everyone that she starts believing a ghost is there when it's not. And the previous family that died there could represent the sort of cycle of abuse or something like that.
Depending on the kind of ending they want, it could either be that the wife still gets murdered in the end, in which case I would suggest the daughter have been older and she escapes or something. Maybe goes to the boys who are groundskeepers and they help her with some kind of confrontation with the dad
I guess the message was that evil and good is cyclical? Like what was said evil only communes with evil while good attracts goodness. So it's not The Shining where evil pushes an ambiguous struggling person into doing evil stuff. Yeah like what was the motivation of adding the evil ghost aspect if the husband was horrible and already kinda evil since the start.
netflix is the fast food of stream services
Even McDonald's has good french fries though. Netflix has cancelled all their fries by this point
@@poralitical Yeah, they only cancel shows no one watches like every other company. Netflix has major issues, but cancelling shows that aren't successful makes sense.
@@neutralman9124 the formulas they're using to make decisions are bad ones because they have baked in assumptions which aren't going to hold true longterm- they're focusing almost exclusively on gaining new subscribers and what generates news/social media attention rather than what increases happiness of current subscribers becuase they assume that a steady stream of rotating new content is what's best. They haven't even really considered retention yet because they've taken their massive head start in the streaming wars for granted. But now many of the companies they licensed staple content from are all pulling back their content and Netflix is allegedly struggling to retain watch-times. They've paid astronomical sums to keep beloved shows while not fostering their own internally produced beloved series The shoe hasnt dropped YET, but it's coming unless they switch it up.
Netflix was cheap and convenient and had consistently enjoyable content available. It's getting less cheap, and the content is becoming a lot more hit and miss as they lose more and more streaming rights contracts.
This isn't just me. There's been tons of industry wide speculation for a couple years that Netflix is swinging wildly and just hoping they land on something. Aka the silicon startup model -- and so many of those end up imploding when they're stress tested. You can't just throw money at the problem and expect it to magically solve itself.
Netflix is in the peak throws of "the founder problem" --- the exact same strategies that got you to the top will not necessarily keep you competitive once there. They're just doing more of what they did in 2008, except it's increasingly becoming apparent that it's not working nearly as well anymore.
For example: I forget who it was, but they alluded heavily to the fact Netflix almost entirely looks at performance in the first 10 days. THAT is a terrible business practice as even the most inept network tv producer will tell you that most of the biggest hits took a minute to "find their audience". But Netflix mainly uses algorithms for decision modeling, and algorithms don't have the capability for artistic nuances and potential growth. Same over-reliance on quantitative data over human judgement is what got them into their whole Cuties scandal. Their decision modeling is broken. my argument is that how they evaluate if a show is worth it is based on a broken formula, which is why they're so cancellation prone after the 2nd or 3rd season (because they over-emphasize growth instead of stability)
I disagree that they should remove one of the elements of the films, most good horror films have an underlying story of human horror - such as abuse, and this makes them more effective. But it does seem like they failed at it, here.
all i want is your take on midsommar 🥺
Random thought that I am gonna immortalize. If ghosts exist and death is a passage to the spiritual world that coexists with the human world, then out of all the humans who existed in the world, wouldn't everywhere be haunted? Or at least, it will come to that point.
Hey Amanda! Just knew you were on Dr. Phil, watched the ep and girl I am so proud of you for shutting him down! Nice video btw! Oh, and thank you for putting on subtitles, I needed those since I have hearing problems. ❤️❤️❤️
stop i just found your channel from Logan's breakdown on Michael and Dr. Phil but i also just watched this movie today!
I watched this film with my family. We just sat in silence afterward, wondering what we had just watched. And I legitimately forgot it was set in the 80s until you said it. It could have been set in 2020 and I wouldn't have noticed a difference.

Me: oh no it’s Timmothee Chardonnay
I’m a sucker for a creeping dread mood piece, but it definitely veered into all-over-the-place at times. Love that I also saw it twice and struggled to remember Catherine and George’s names
GIRL. I just watched you on Dr. Phil!!! I knew you were gonna make it from the first video I saw you on. I love it!!! You held that man ALL THE WAY accountable 😂😂 please make a video on your experience working with the Dr Phil team! I’m sure it’s be interesting

This is an adaptation of the novel, All Things Cease to Appear. I don't remember as much of a supernatural element in it. The plot is much clearer in the novel and it really is a great story.
"I was taken on a journey that was both boring and confusing."
I had the EXACT same reaction. Not to mention I was expecting a horror movie and there is nothing scary here! I also have never hated a character as much as the husband and he got off way to easy.
This felt like a lifetime big buget film
