There was nothing to be sorry about for people asking questions in a respectful manner. Sarah didn’t seem to be offended by or take the questions as invasive, just more perplexed which makes sense as she’s a first time mother.

      You should ignore us all and watch it for yourself.

      There’s a scene in the film where a baby gets brutally torn apart and partially eaten. The death is off screen, but it’s gorey nonetheless. I think that’s the reason why most people avoid this film. That could’ve been why Jennifer Lawrence was disturbed by the film too (since she’s also a mother).

    • @parkchimmin7913

      I love watching bad horror movies. They manage to scare from time to time, but seeing the bad CGI/ writing/ acting/etc really helps calm me down. Like (this might be a bit controversial) “Annabelle: Creation”. I watched it with my cousins and we had a few laughs because the “hurrdurr, horror movie characters are stupid and my dumb decisions”, but we still had some moments where we were scared shitless!
      Also, maybe it’s just me, but before I watch a horror movie, I like to watch behind the scenes footage (like watching them put on make up or see how they filmed stunts). It helps me feel less scared and appreciate the small details the make up team and film crew out into the movie. “Oh, I know how that scene was filmed. They used wires to lift that character! It looks so cool in the movie!”

    Love that you mentioned Jeepers Creepers on this list. I too saw the first one at a time where Salva’s crimes weren’t common knowledge or widely publicized and were something that required lots of online digging to uncover. It was some time after the release of the second one that I found out, and at that point completely separated myself from anything Salva ever did (or ends up doing in the future). I don’t own any JC movie in my collection, nor will I ever support one. As a single parent of one somewhat young child and one very young child, this is a hill I’m willing to die on no matter how many toxic internet trolls who aren’t bothered by Salva’s repugnant past try to insult me about it.

    I totally understand the change in your tolerance for certain horror. My bday is Halloween, so I’ve always loved horror movies. I can’t recall if I was sensitive about pregnancy/body horror while pregnant. I don’t think I was. However, after my baby was born things changed. I absolutely had no ability to tolerate any horror/movies involving young children being hurt or scared. It took me until my daughter was about 8-10yo for that visceral disgust to fade completely. As my daughter got older, and I slowly exposed her to certain horror movies she now loves them too! She’s 17yo now and we just went and saw, “Smile,” together. She also raved about Barbarian, but I haven’t seen it yet. So, congrats on your pregnancy! Maybe you’ll get lucky like me and end up with a buddy to watch horror with in a few years! 👻😄

    I couldn’t imagine thinking “I’ll never watch these movies I enjoyed EVER again” so very curious on what you think of it?

I didn’t want to rewatch/watch anything like Mother! or Goodnight Mommy (Austrian film) while pregnant/for awhile after. But now almost 3 years later I’m back to enjoying all themes/sub genres of horror. I think it comes down to hormonal changes, or at least for me it did. Your mind and body seem to just naturally find certain things more repulsive when pregnant and it’s difficult to separate art from reality.

    I always find this topic so interesting, because one person's "never watch again" can be another person's absolute fave. For example, I really like Dumplings! Seen it multiple times, and I'm so happy that it's unlikely that Hollywood will ever touch it. They better not🤭🥟
    The movie I haven't been able to make myself watch twice is Midsommar. Awesome, very cool, but has my **specific** triggers in it so I saw 1/4 of it behind my hands lol. I want to change that this year...I think I can do it

    When I was pregnant back in 1985 the return of the living dead came out. I was working the front box and with all the screaming and moaning with the zombies it was so creepy and scary. That was the first movie where the zombies could talk and run as fast as living people. I was so freaked out every night lol🌸

    When I was about 8 months pregnant I went to see the first Annabelle movie in theatres not really thinking anything of it and it wasn’t super scary or amazing but that scene where she was stabbed in the stomach shook me lol. I literally looked down and my stomach then looked at my husband and we both just said damn 😅 Ever since having my two sons I struggle with anything to do with kids and violence.

      @Nicole88. Před rokem +4

      I hear you! I saw it in theather years ago when I wasn't pregnant. I recently saw it again a few months ago and the scene that really got me was when she hits the Annabelle doll on the crib, throws it, looks again and sees her baby lifeless on the floor. I grabbed my 6 month old daughter and held her tight after that scene. Seeing babies/kids get hurt in movies gives me a whole new reaction now that I'm a mom myself.

      I’m not a mom, but I do have a brother who’s 8 years younger than me. When he was still a baby, I couldn’t stomach seeing babies in pain or crying in film because I would think of my brother. Sometimes, I’d run over to check up on him. Edit: I love horro, but anything involving young children getting hurt is a big no for me. There’s a scene in Doctor Sleep where a kid gets tortured and his screams felt so real and gut-wrenching, I had to skip ahead.

    Hey Sarah ! Have you done "Crowhaven Farm" yet? It's truly one of the most frightening films I ever watched as a kid (Actually a TV movie). In the highest grade of tv horror movies, more like a Witchy chiller-thriller. Kinda hard to get hold of in the UK but should easy be able to view it on any media in US...🤔

  • @Zodia195
    @Zodia195 Před rokem +5

    While this is definitely not horror related, this does remind me of the story my mom gave me when I was a baby. Back in the day before VHS became a thing, sometimes Disney would re-release their movies into theaters and my mom took me to see Bambi when I was a baby (I am her first born). My mom hadn't seen the movie yet either. Well that famous death scene actually traumatized my mom and made her cry (she was only 21 at the time so she was still young herself). My mom was a lot more emotional when pregnant and still had those issues after becoming a mother, she did say there were certain things she couldn't watch anymore.

If it's a horror movie that has things related to a pregnant person, then I'd understand. Otherwise I don't understand. Can you please explain why? Is it just because how some horrors can be disturbing, and how it affects certain people? Sorry for asking 😅

    I had the same experience with Mother. I actively seek out disturbing movies, specifically horror, so it was right up my alley. However, it got to me on a completely different level. I think only a couple other movies made me THAT physically and mentally anxious, and not in an enjoyable way at all. I actually had to stop it at one scene to catch my breath. I would like to revisit it at some point, since it's been quite a few years, but I don't know if I'm ready to put myself through that again.

    I'm really glad to hear the updated thoughts on Mother! - admittedly when I was new to your channel I watched your review of it and was really off put by the review (I'd seen it in theatres, and am an introvert who also struggles with anxiety, and at the time I felt like it wasn't fair to blanket statement say that if you have anxiety you shouldn't watch it. I understand that it was a very visceral reaction for you though). It's one I've really gone back and forth on if I'm ready to rewatch it myself.

    I saw Mother! on an airplane. I hadn't heard anything about it and was genuinely rocked by it and on the verge of an anxiety attack- which is a reaction I seldom have to movies. Being stuck in a small seat with a bunch of strangers trying to hide my distress was the absolute woooorst. I do still love the movie though. I think it's heartbreaking and I unfortunately resonated heavily with the relationship dynamic.

Midsommer was so different from Hereditary, and yet, it's the same ambiance, like an aftertaste, that I couldn't get rid of for ages. In the theatre, I felt fine, but the films repeated on me like I'd swallowed a whole garlic clover raw, but for months .

We are all different, we know our limits. ASK me to play Amnesia now and I'd tell you "hell no", I tried and couldn't make it past 30 mins, 10 years later. A true testimony to the fact that we all change, and age doesn't make a different at all lol.

    I honestly don't understand why it's considered transphobic that one of the villains in Incident In A Ghostland is trans. There are no critical remarks about trans people in the movie. One of the killers just happens to be trans. Can a trans person not be a villain and/or a killer in reality, nor portrayed as one in any movie or show? Are they only to be portrayed as good characters in all movies and shows? If trans characters were predominantly portrayed as villainous characters or even just bad, unpleasant people in general in most movies and shows, then that would be a big problem and would be transphobic. But this isn't the case at all. So why is it considered transphobic for one of the antagonists in this movie to be trans?

  • @gelfling612

    With movies like mother I found the subtitles are helpful for getting the meanings. For example the characters aren't called by their actual titles in the movie.
