    No one ever brings up the darkest aspect of the movie: the big monsters go out, find kids, and trick them into coming down into their world, where they are then trapped forever and mutated into some sort of freakshow monster. Watch the baseball scene, which you somehow forgot to show. It's all little kids in costumes. They're all missing children, trapped in a dark netherworld, forced to scare and kidnap other kids for the evil monster boss. They even had a party set up for Brian when he finally turned. Maurice isn't a hero, he was working with the bad guy for the whole movie, almost got five kids trapped in a nightmarish hell, and finally had a crisis of conscience at the end of it all.

      I'm fully convinced this movie is about pedophiles.
      Abducting kids by luring them in with "fun" and "no rules" while they slowly groom them only to be taken advantage of. The monsters one weakness, light or exposure.
      Before these kids realize what's going on they have become monsters themselves.

    • @fendelphi
      @fendelphi Před 7 lety +11

      Actually, there was a point in JW. The kids were sent to the aunt, because the parents were busy getting the papers in order.
      They would not have been there at all, if the parents were not getting a divorce.
      It also presents a reason why they should "stick" together, in spite of the age difference. The big brother is at the age where they typical want to be independence, but he is "forced" to take care of his little brother. He is reluctant about it, but also understand that it is a hard time for his little brother.
      (as most big brothers at that age would rather just walk around alone, than spending time with their little brother).
      In other words, the subplot assist in telling why they are on the island, and their relation and interaction with each other.
      In Little Monsters, I guess there is a point with the brothers having to "stick together", since they wont be able to rely on their parents.
      It is just shown in a really mumbled way, and we already had an incentive for the big brother to look after the little brother(as the big brother is the one responsible for monsterworld/humanworld interaction).

    • @fendelphi
      @fendelphi Před 7 lety +4

      But what kind of parent would send their kids alone, unless there was a "good" reason for it?
      And if they simply won tickets, the older brother would not have an incentive to stick around his younger "less cool"(snort) younger brother.
      I mean, a young man in his late teens, on an island without his parents, would not be "hanging" with his much younger little brother, unless there was a reason(in this case, comfort him during the divorce).

The underworld looked cool to me and I liked how disturbing some parts were, though I watched a lot of horror as a kid. I watched it again as an adult (think I've got it on DVD somewhere) and I still had fun with it. I guess for the same reason my girlfriend loves Mac n Me... nostalgia.

    1. It's the 80s, it's gonna be weird and scary, just how it was.
    2. Maybe movies don't need a moral or a lesson, maybe they just wanna tell a story.
    3. It's the 80s, pranks and stuff were just mean spirited. That's literally what a prank is.
    4. Would you expect a kid who looks and talks like Fred Savage to be anything other than an asshole?
    I think the movie was just made to have fun with some visuals, ideas, and actors, like most movies in the 80s. That's why I like it. It's just kinda fun. I respect the critics opinion on it. Just playing devil's advocate.

    Little Monsters: Because everyone's a bit of an asshole :P
    In all seriousness though, this is yet another great example of a kid's movie that could be re-worked into a horror movie:
    A monster shows up and befriends a child who is alienated and miserable due to his parents moving to another town and get divorced, maybe the move was even part of the plan to divorce in the first place for some reason. The parents, especially the father, become more frustrated because of their failed marriage and start taking it out on their kids, the elder brother specifically.
    The boy is taken in to the monster world and everyone there welcomes him with open arms and everything seems great as now he has a place to escape to when he needs to escape from his increasingly horrific home life. He begins to turn into a monster and discovers that the monsters he thought were his friends begin to show their cruelty and in fact were originally humans at one time, too.
