    I did a double feature of Pearl and Barbarian at the movies this year and can’t imagine how that would have impacted me if I loved them as much as you did lol. I liked Pearl and while I thought Barbarian was certainly a crazy first watch by the end I wasn’t loving it. I just didn’t love the tone of the second half. Especially in the last 20 minutes or so. Also Watcher was absolutely incredible to me I loved the tension and thought it was a near perfect thriller tbh.

    • @kristopherschermerhorn998
      @kristopherschermerhorn998 Před rokem +39

      The lack of character development on “The Grabber” was 💯 intentional. The director has even mentioned it in interviews. I’m personally glad they didn’t get us any information on The Grabber. It wasn’t necessary to the film and makes him a scarier villain. Giving him a backstory would humanize a character that is a monster. And I don’t know how you felt like you walked into the middle of the film. The film has a very strong introduction that establishes Finn, his friends, and his family…with the introduction of the Grabber as he is slowly taking kids. My biggest issue with the film is most of the stuff in the basement. It just felt very repetitive and it felt like a waste of a really good premise. I wish they had done more with the supernatural and Black Phone element of the film. But, I still really enjoyed the film overall.

I feel bad bc this movie got overlooked by so many bc it came out the same weekend as Crimes of the Future unfortunately. Also 100% agree with your ranking of Crimes of the Future.

    Favorite: Barbarian, Least Favorite: My Best Friend’s Exorcism
    You should check out The Banshees of Inisheren. Not really a horror movie, but there’s definitely some violence, and spooky/unsettling aspects I think you’ll like. (Yes, there is a form of a banshee in it.) It’s probably my favorite film of 2022.
    Thanks for all your videos over the year, and have a happy new year!

    I never go to theaters but I saw Barbarian the day before it released at an event my local theater was having for one reason. I’ve always wished I was old enough to experience The Blair Witch Project like my parents did: an iconic film, in a theater, completely blind before anyone else. And it really felt (and maybe still feels) like that’s the sort of film we had on our hands and I couldn’t miss it.

      I was about 16 when I saw Blair Witch, we saw it while we were on summer vacation in a small town cinema at midnight! Complete with wooden floors and rickety old leather chairs. We then walked back to our campsite and slept in a tent, all the parents kept trying to scare us the rest of the night by shaking our tents and making weird noises. I’ve never held my bladder for that long before, there was no way I was unzipping that tent! Haha!
      One of the best memories of my life!

      Go in expecting a lot of satire and camp (all coming from an intentionally annoying and horrible lead) mixed with fantastic horror elements and you'll have such a fun time. Maybe skip the first 20 minutes and go straight to when she picks up the old woman. The rest of it is so good and there's something fun about watching a horrible person get instant karma every time she makes an offensive joke and running like a chicken with her head cut off

    Watcher really really got under my skin! It could have been another woman in the window movie, but the way it really makes the character (and the viewer) feel so isolated, and the really dark, disturbing way the victims are described really just had me chilled all over.
    Favorite horror film of the year is Barbarian, and it's also in my top 3 films of the year.
    It's a very difficult film to watch (content warning for sexualized and racialized violence) but Soft & Quiet is by far the most disturbing film I saw this year and if you can stomach it I think it's a very effective film with an important message.
    My least favorite horror films this year were Men and Bones and All. Men was stylistically very interesting (and it turned me on to Leslie Duncan which is a plus; thanks Men!) but the actual message of the film felt so basic and boring, but delivered in an absurdly convoluted and gross way. Bones and All just pissed me off so much. People are hailing it as a modern horror masterpiece and to me it's just high brow Twilight with cannibals. Also I take issue with the way it depicts queerness with cannibalism as a really miscalculated metaphor.

    I don't think I have a least favorite for 2022 releases, but the least favorite horror I watched this year was Spree- I couldn't even finish it and there was like 20 minutes left.
    My number one favorite horror movie that came out this year was Nope- I love alien movies and I love Peele movies. I also really enjoyed Bodiesx3 and Deadstream- which I probably would never have watched either if you didn't recommend them.
    I really liked Barbarian as well, but not without criticism. It feels like there's so many movies that have it's horror based on some form of SA and I'm honestly SO tired of it. I thought the cinematography was amazing and I enjoyed literally everything but the 'explanation', so it's really frustrating.
