Joey was sober in this movie. The candy was real candy....hence the suckers. Addicts use candy to curb cravings... like gum for smokers. When Joey killed the vamp that bit her, Frank, before feeding....she avoided turning herself. Frank turned so quickly because he consumed vampire blood.

Joey isn't popping pills, she is eating literal candy.

[@rickyressel9263]

All the rules were explained Roxy. You were just talking over them. Frank turned instantly because he drank blood. Making him a vampire free from being used. Full autonomy. Sammy was a puppet from the bite. She didn’t turn. She didn’t drink blood. So she would have forever been a puppet without autonomy. Joey would have suffered the same fate as Sammy. Except the one who turned her was killed before the bite could set in. Plus Frank would have had to practice with his new pet.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I love this movie, but I can’t help but feel like the marketing severely let it down. The movie tries to do this mystery about what Abigail is for almost an hour, but if you have seen any piece of marketing for the film, you already know she’s a vampire. So while I still think the movie is great, the long build-up felt wasted for me; it would have been nice to be in the same position as the characters and figure out what's going on.

[@LoungingPotato]

I both agree and disagree. I feel like a lot of people were interested in watching this movie BECAUSE they knew it was about a vampire ballerina child. If they kept it vague, I'm not sure the basic premise would have garnered much of an audience. Plus, knowing what she is kinda tells you that this movie is gonna be campy as hell, so you know the tone going in. Without it, people might have watched this thinking it was going to be much more serious and scary than it actually was, thus creating bad reviews from the general audience

[@filmfangirls9163]

I didn't mind knowing about the vampire thing but did the trailer have to reveal what happens with Frank? That was such a good turn of events and shocked my friend lol I already knew cuz of the trailer:p

The problem is that if you only use before-the-twist parts of the movie for marketing, it's going to look like an action thriller kidnapping/heist movie and people looking for that are the ones who are going to be in the theater when you deliver a campy horror comedy instead. You risk bad WoM by pulling a bait & switch on your audience.

I think Abigail did not kill Joey because Joey was the only one who was kind and compassionate with Abigail. With the pinky promises also. I saw a connection there.

[@konekopawa9039]

Despite Joey did most damage to Abigail as a vampire, Abigail almost did not attack Joey. It is how one treats her as a child that counts. This is why she focused mostly on Frank. I also think Abigail revealed her true identity initially to protect Joey because Joey kept her promise. Abigail likely also joined the last fight because of Joey, otherwise she could easily hide or escape.

[@StardustandMadness]

Yesssss RonJoxy’s back!!! Love our Drippy-Moist duo ❤❤

[@collinfarnes8752]

The way I understood the rules was that the bite “primes” you so to speak, and now there’s two paths to become a vampire. You get autonomy if you drink the blood. I think there’s some kind of ritual that has to be completed to make someone your puppet. I think that’s the reason Sammy turned when Abigail started playing the record. Once you’re turned, I think you’re a vampire permanently, but Joey wasn’t completely turned yet. As for Frank, they sprinkle the seeds of his personality throughout the movie. Joey says he likes to be in control in her read of everyone. When Abigail is in the cage, she says that Frank got addicted to power and control when he started dipping his feet into the mob business. He lets Giancarlo bite him, but as someone who wants to be in control, why split the empire with someone when you can run it and have a puppet as your enforcer? If you look at Joey and Frank, they’re two sides of the same coin. Frank left his family to further his power and influence. Joey lost her son because of her addiction, but she is trying to get back to him. They both aren’t involved with their kids’ lives but for very different reasons. Abigail clearly wants her father to be more involved in her life. Throughout the movie, the differences between Joey and Frank are highlighted for Abigail. She would already know their stories but the way both characters interact with her is also drastically different. I believe Abigail was willing to make that deal with Joey because she actually was weakened by Frank’s surprise attack, but also because Abigail hates Frank. You can really see this when Frank knocks Peter off the banister. When it cuts back to Abigail, it’s one of the only times she looks angry/hateful instead of more playful while she chases everyone around. Much like her own father, Frank has set his family aside to further his own interests. Abigail’s options are to face Frank alone and potentially lose to the person who represents everything she hates or to team up with to Joey to kill him. She’d have to let Joey go then, however, at least she’d be a letting a mother go back to her child. As much of a monster as Abigail is, I believe this is one of the only bits of humanity that remains.

I think going into this movie without seeing the trailer is the smartest way to do it because then it makes the reveil that Abigail is the vampire so much more fun as well. The actress of Abigail is 13 years old and she plays Matilda in the new musical Matilda movie that came out last year also she is not a ballet dancer they tought her how to do it for this movie. I think she is such a talented actress and I look forward to seeing what else she can do in the future. I love this movie because they have gone back to their roots with this one and it is just like Ready Or Not which was my first movie I saw from these directors. It's a good mix between horror/action/comedy and yes to be clear this movie and Ready Or Not are apart of the same universe. It's cool that they talk about the Rat Pack which was Frank Sinatra's band before he went off on his own. This movie is based off the 1936 movie Dracula's daughter so yes Abigail is Dracula's daughter here and they hint on it when he says Count when asked who he is haha. Rip Angus Coloud and it's nice that they give him a tribute at the end of the movie. Love all the actors here and it was just a good fun movie in my opinion. Grate reaction guys glad you did this one.

Roxy never immerses she acts like she's the director, you can tell she doesn't wanna be there

[@roxystriar]

Lol you are wrong and it’s weird - I’m here because I’m obsessed with it.

[@filmfangirls9163]

​@@roxystriarignore them. You're awesome!!

[@patr1ckk3ll3y]

@@roxystriarlove you Rox but it does come off like you aren’t immersed in the movie sometimes. I know you love filmmaking but analyzing the movie AS it’s happening can sometimes take you out of it & make you miss things. Just my perception, whirlfriend for life 💚💙

@@patr1ckk3ll3yeveryone watches movies differently. How I watch them is how I enjoy them. It’s strange to try and make people see things the way you want them to. I appreciate your love, but I’d prefer your respect and appreciation of individualism.

[@patr1ckk3ll3y]

@@roxystriar I completely get that, it’s not about trying to change anyone like I said it’s just how it comes off to me as a viewer at times. Perception isn’t always reality 🤷🏾‍♂️. Reacting is kind of like an art form in itself though & as someone who watches a lot of reactors I notice they do grow in their content and adapt to viewing movies on film, knowing what intrusive thoughts to say out loud etc lol. I’ve been watching you since 2013 & I do because I like you lol I wouldn’t want to change you as person at all I’m just talking about reactions as content.

[@ahna2ne1]

Wait, so that's why the little girl is familiar when I watched this movie last weekend. I love the recent Matilda the musical movie. I would love to see you guys react to Matilda, it was a blast!

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

I just watch glad you guys are watching this

[@Pandaaahh]

Yes! Please watch Matilda the Musical! Alisha Weir is phenomenal in that, too.

[@charlesking8943]

I was cracking up with the intro- Tiny Dancer/ Tony Danza. Lol. There was another song like that by the band CCR- Bad Moon On The Rise/ where someone thought it said- There’s a bathroom on the Right. lol. So funny. I enjoyed the video. You folks have a good group in these reactions. We enjoy them.

[@maggiekathlyn]

You guys cut the “Sammy those are fucking onions” line 😭 good reaction tho!!

[@michaeldavis2001]

Swan Lake was the theme for the 1930 Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Abigail says "It takes a long time to learn how to do the cool s**T!" That includes making puppets

[@classy_c88]

John you’re cracking me up !!!

Frank didn't like Joey since the beginning I don't know why people are surprised about that. she grabbed his hand after Abigail stabbed him with the pencil stopping him from punching her in the face. then she did it again when he told her not to. she was arguing with his commands when she didn't go upstairs to kill Abigail, he was mad at her because she blurted out everyone's business and he assumed Abigail heard it. she took off the blindfolds, she pointed a gun at him after Abigail manipulated her he was already on edge because she's a junkie. She ripped the pool cue out of his leg without giving them some scared time lol. Everything she did went against his character she even said he was a detective and he like to be in control. There all kind of bad guys and kind of bad people too except for maybe Sammy or Joey rickles too I guess. Vampire rules change in every series I've seen that a few times in different series where if you kill the original who bite you you don't change and I believe it works like that for werewolves too but it has to be within 24 hours I think. The instant transformation after being bitten can only happen if the original vampire puts the blood inside the mouth of the person they drained completely or drained a significant amount, this process Force changes them immediately and they spit up all of their hemoglobin or blood because it's dead now. Abigail is special the way she just takes over people. Regular bites takes 24 hours from what it looks like because the whole day went by. Garlic is mostly been bulshit in a lot of vampire stories. I believe silver was a part of it as well but I'm not sure. the crucifix only works if the person believes in it I believe that's how it worked in some old vampire movies. I think nosferatu's was like that and for old vampire stories in that time. But vampires can't come into your house when there not invited that's in a few stories too like let the Right One in.I think it was in true blood too. No reflection in the mirrors. Flying is only with original vampires of old age or they have to learn it. I'm watching interview with the vampire this is very similar to it with lestat. Also I believe when you're changed your more aggressive or whatever your personality is it's amplified, frank was already an a****** so he turned into a super a****** and I'm sure he thought about all the crazy s*** you could do as vampire leading back to his control kind of thing.

[@Dallasmp01]

The little girl that plays Abigail also played Matilda in Netflixs Matilda the musical which she was great in to

[@tomstanziola1982]

Matthew Goode was only in this for a few minutes, but he OWNED that role!!! AWESOME!!! 👏👏👏👏👍

[@patriciabusch4599]

R.I.P. Angus Cloud. He could have been so much more. If his time was limited I am happy to have experienced him when he was with us.

[@purplehax1091]

man i love this movie and ready or not i hope there’s gonna at least be a crossover movie between the two main characters or at least another movie to build up this Monsterverse and have an endgame-esque ending to the universe

14:09 the candy isn't a metaphor for drugs. Alcoholics & addicts often use candy to curb their cravings in early recovery.

[@klausmikaelson6764]

Roxy is 💕, she has my heart ❤️

[@s.o.c.c.5027]

46:47 😂. Love it. Feel like he was talking to most of the audience with that one.

[@noahsaboliauskas7753]

Wrong

Hashbrown RonJoxy might be my favorite duo.

[@CCARL11]

Just found out that one of Giancarlo Esposito first appearance was the guy that got upset when someone stepped on his sneaker in the movie Do The Right Thing. Totally unrecognizable lol

[@Paintimenti]

yessss- so glad we got a reaction to this awesome movie!

[@reannahennis]

Let John and Roxy watch Mathilda the Musical!!

[@tomscott113]

My favorite Rejects duo!!! I love you all, but you two... .

[@johnmartinez9656]

We need a Purge shirt where Roxy is scaring Tara or John!!!

[@michaelgatheringdust]

Very fun reaction. I agree this is the first time I've seen that the Rat Pack was picked up on! Nicely done and fun reaction. (Sorry she scratched you. You best take the onion...err...garlic test!)
