May, Matt Reeves directed Cloverfield, Drew Goddard wrote it. Drew's two credits for direction are Cabin in the Woods and Bad Times at the El Royale.

I have seen all but the farewell uncle sam one, i thought i would see movies i didnt know but im beyond repair 😭

i don't know if this became one of my favorite movies because it was extremely raw on my teenage brain that had been brutalized by neglect and abuse my whole life, or because it was a TRIP to watch it while coming off an antidepressant cold turkey and having one of the worst withdrawal experiences i've ever had.

Something about that Big window in the Back is creeping me out, I keep thinking I see someone looking in from the bushes.

It's MY-NO-TOR, not MIN AH-TAR.

Mr hands is wierdly placed on this list 😂 i feel thats such surface level shock vids

time for my quarterly rewatch of this masterpiece

Hi. I'm from Finland and here one writer make book darkweb and this book name is pimeyden ytimeen. Read this book !

37:10 - this is horrifying to me NOW, as someone with Dependant Personality Disorder. It's literally my biggest nightmare that my parents/close family will one day not be there.

19:04 - what song is that tune originally from? It sounds really familiar

Sorry about Borderlands

DO MULHOLLAND DRIVE PLEEEEEEZ

Why does it not surprise me this iceberg was made by Plagued Moth? (If you don't know why, just watch ANY video essay on him)

ooo, glad i stumbled to your channel. i like disturbing books too, i added a few of these titles to my tbr. and i was happy to see a few of my favs mentioned! love the johnny the homicidal maniac shout out, i haven't thought of that guy in twenty years! thanks for unlocking that memory. and i did not know poppy z. brite was a trans man, interesting, i may go check that book out more thoroughly now!

RIP David Lynch 🖤

I always see the scene of laura dern talking to the other women about the man that broke up with one of them as less them discussing a specific character in laura dern's (or nikki's, or sue's) story, but rather her experience of realizing she is becoming victimized - that moment after being victimized where you realize that you've become that thing you always distanced yourself from, that you never thought you'd end up as - the woman who gets raped, or abused, or cheated on, or murdered, or the sex worker (iirc most of the women are either stated or implied to be sex workers) It's like she's suddenly seeing the ghost of all other women who've been victimized and cast aside and realizing she's becoming one of them, and they're welcoming her in. In that moment she's terrified, not necessarily of them, but that she's with them, by the end she's welcomed them as close friends. the locomotion scene i kind of take as being either them showing the potential for community around that shared trauma of being victims of misogynistic violence, or showing the "song and dance" women are expected to perform and be cast aside - or both. their sudden vanishing to me being a statement that it's the traces of the past lingering on into laura's/nikki's/sue's life, rather than them literally being there.

new sub... you got me with the crystal meth, jajaja

Found this channel while looking for new films to watch. I am always happy to stumble upon someone else who loves horror and weird media 😂

You really are incredibly articulate about topics that many people can’t even recognize as existing.

I really appreciate how obviously genuine, empathetic and thoughtful May is.

I choose to believe that the special effects aren't like that due to low budget, thats just what ghosts actually look like

Ok I’m back after finally watching the fourth kind (spoilers) and I gotta say while it is a pretty well told story the thing that gets me about the whole thing is the “alien voice” that’s supposedly speaking sumerian just blows it for me. The fact they use an alias for the guy “translating” it means i can’t check his credentials and they don’t specify in the credits what university he’s supposedly working at. The “subtitles” don’t match up to the audio in the same way every single “ghost voice captured!” thing doesn’t and i *appreciate* them casting doubt on her at the end but just in this era where we are far past ancient aliens being obviously ridiculous bringing up ancient astronaut theory with Sumerian art made me so annoyed. Anyway it was a pretty good watch that just pissed me off

I hope you've seen Trap, May. It's hilarious.

The Blair Witch Project is good. And the best part of it is the promotion around it.

I come back often to just rewatch the first 5 seconds

The reason flower of flesh and blood really rocks my socks is because uts fkn disgusting and I didn't have to watch any SA. It proves that disturbing exploitative horror gore doesn't have to revolve around SA. 😍

Nekromantik didn't actually bug me as I worked through the iceberg it almost felt like a relief co pared to the rest of the stank ass berg

Guts was not disturbing to me, it was shocking sure, but it did not disturbing. The story that really disturbed me was the short about the… child dolls, I don’t remember the name. But that was heartbreaking because it felt so real, like sure someone’s intestine can be sucked out into a pool filter but that’s just a one time freak accident. This other short is an everyday occurrence and it was disturbing because of that. It felt m feeling horrified and just sad

revisiting this after his passing, i miss him

How is your grandmother?

Scream below I Know What You Did Last Summer, the Scream cash in movie, is bat crazy. It does have Sarah Michelle Gellar though so maybe you're right, who can say

Update: new meme assassination dropped

Lynch was very into Transcendental Meditation, and ideas from that are all over IE.

Literally unnecessary.... otherwise....GREAT video....👍😁

One time me and my best friend were looking for ginger snaps on Tubi, instead we came across “gingerbread man vs evil bong” and neither of us had any idea what it was and we watched it together and laughed at the bullshittery and buffoonery for 45 minutes straight and the entire time we were wondering who the target audience for this was until the end we locked eyes as we came to the devastating realization that we were indeed the target audience.

I watched this video a year ago when you dropped it not knowing anything about David Lynch's film work (aside from twin peaks and dune). Now, I finally watched the film (and his other works) for myself and came back to this video more hyped than I have ever been (and a big fan of the short film he made with this "Rabbits"). David Lynch truly is an artist and a dreamer, he will be missed.

abit of a late reply here, if you think the art work in these books are twisted you should play the game Dark Seed.

Im glad you're going strong! Love your videos!

Ichi the Killer and Audition remain in my top 5 favorite movies ❤
