[@holleyshighlights3135]

So, to the practicality issue- the point of the film to me is that Tess is smart- she even addresses how stupid some of her actions are- but while frank and AJ are selfish and are about self preservation, Tess isn’t a “barbarian”- she cares, to her detriment about Keith and AJ. It is all about how people, women especially, ignore the red flags because they want to be nice/caring.

[@moo7302]

I loved this reaction!! So funny 😂 I love this movie because it shows you how men and women behave in terrifying situations - Tess is hesitant with Keith, she’s scared of going downstairs, she’s aware of the danger around every corner; Both Keith and AJ readily go downstairs and into the basement, and AJ even gets all the way into the tunnel with the tape measure without thinking that it might be dangerous down there. I feel like it’s a great commentary on how women navigate the world (and potentially dangerous situations) vs how men do. Even at the very end AJ chooses to be selfish and the “monster” shows care and affection towards Tess. It’s brilliant!

[@jenloveshorror]

It's so cool to find out that the mother character was played a man & covered in female prosthetics to the point they had a fake butt and decided against it. This actor had to be total bare butt in his shots & chemically removed all his body hair but eyebrows & he's 6feet 8 in tall. He did amazing job! The 3 male stars were all picked for specific reasons & sort of like a wink to audiences. For example they knew we all would be scared of Skarsgard & unsure of him cause of It. And w Justin Long, he always plays that nice & sweet like charming guy, but in fact was a rapist. The whole movie is to show how sexism is still currently an issue & relates to our fears.

[@You2be4life]

I agree with OAK. As a woman I would never go into a place not knowing the person. Nor would I go looking for him in the basement!!

[@liamwarner5749]

I'm a man who used to take strolls around town at 2 AM when I was younger. Now I'm older and wiser I'd rather sleep in my car than take my chances in that building with a stranger who got "double booked". Not to mention my doubts there's no other hotel I can check into for one night in the city.

[@princesssunshine79]

I honestly felt so bad for the Creature. She was a byproduct of r*pe and torture. Plus, serious inbreeding. It wasn't her fault she was a "monster." All she wanted was a baby, and that broke my otherwise cold heart. 😅 And Justin Long's character deserved for worse. The film was amazing. Bill did his job being the reddest green flag ever. Hahaha! And I loved that nothing was ever what we expected. Additionally, I agree with Oak, I screamed at Tess and the screen when she walked into that home at the beginning. I would have slept in my car elsewhere. Another phenomenal reaction, and thank you for remaining one of my comfort channels. 😊

[@raspberrybellini]

I don't think she was forty, I think she was his grandaughter or even worse great grand daughter because this monster probably wasn't waiting until the girls were legally old enough and given the severity of inbreeding here, this wasn't his daughter. I got a lump in my throat when she jumped off the tower to save Tess and by the time Tess shot her I had really teared up. Although, Tess had to do it though

[@alfredmeneses5496]

Some trivia about the film for you guys: -The director Zach Creggar originally wrote the first act as a writing exercise. He based it off “The Gift of Fear”, a book about trusting your natural instincts when getting into potentially dangerous situations. He wanted to write a scene where a woman is presented with many red flags with her interaction with a man. At the end of the scene, Zach thought to himself that by making Keith the actual bad guy, it would be too predictable, so he ended the scene with a lady just running out of the darkness and killing him. -With the cinematography, Zach had two rules: Everything upstairs would be shot like Fincher, everything downstairs would be shot like Raimi. In regards to effects, Zach made a rule that they would use CGI only as much as a John Carpenter had access to for “The Thing”. -Zach shopped his finished script to many production companies before it was picked up by 20 Century Fox. Many either turned him down or asked him to make many changes, but Zach refused to make any changes. The three biggest issues with the script were the unconventional act structure of the story, nobody wants to watch a movie about a Hollywood actor, and nobody wants to follow a serial killer for an entire scene. -Zach is really good friends with horror director and fellow comedian Jordan Peele, and Zach consulted with him during the making of the film. Zach showed the scene where Tess stares into the dark hallway before saying “Nope”. Peele had just released the movie “Nope” earlier the same year. He asked if it was ok to keep that in the film, and Peele said to keep it in. -The part of AJ was originally offered to Zac Efron, as Zach originally envisioned the character as a hot Hollywood Him-bo. Efron turned down the role and it was then offered to Justin Long. Zach ended up liking Justin better because he is so likeable and unassuming, that it makes him a more dangerous kind of predator. -the movies that heavily Influenced Zach in the making of the film were Takashi Miike’s 1999 film, “Audition”, “Psycho”, and Raimi’s “Drag me to Hell”.

[@tiffymcconkey]

Seriously, thank you for that info and now it makes sense.

[@AFCompany]

Thank you for all the information it makes so much sense now. I loved Barbarian the first time I saw it and told all my friends in film and writing that they need to watch it for the first act alone. It makes sense now that it was written as a standalone initially then the rest was added. Also now that you said everything upstairs is Fincher I can’t unsee it.

[@fangirlalie2950]

To the serial killer part, I actually wanted more of the back story there when I first watched

[@thebookgeek87]

The Oak was 100% correct to be suspicious of Keith in the beginning. Every woman I've seen watch this movie also felt the same way.

[@augustcanyon3438]

Best reaction from Oak that I've seen in a while. He's usually very stoic or tries to hide the more emotional side of himself on certain films, but this one really drew him out.

[@gogousa6661]

It’s weird because she actually made a lot of common sense smart decisions for a horror movie but still just had to help people and just lost all sense of self preservation

[@ismybodyonstraight]

I actually really like that about this movie. Her inability to ignore her own empathy is what gets her into the bad situation but it's also the reason she manages to survive in the end!

[@Charlie_Wolfe]

One of the most famous cases was a guy in Austria who kept is daughter in an underground area of his house from when she was like 18-40. She had like seven of his kids, three of which were taken to live upstairs with his actual wife who apparently had no idea any of this happened

[@jackinthebox3474]

How? How does she not know where her daughter is for all those years and some random kids just keep appearing at home?

[@Charlie_Wolfe]

@@jackinthebox3474 you’d have to research it. Something like the mother thought she ran away, the father had the daughter write letters saying she was someplace where she could be happy but she got pregnant and couldn’t take care of the baby so she dropped it off to her parents to care for… something like that I can’t remember 100%

[@stitchywitchybee]

To possibly help explain some of the tunnels, the Underground Railroad had a heavy presence in Detroit so some of that could possibly date back to those days. Regarding Tess's decisions, they establish in one of the convos with Keith that she has a history of putting other people ahead of herself to her detriment. Once she knows that someone else is in danger she tries to overcome her fear even if it puts herself at risk. (A lot of generosity needs to still be given to be sure, but they did at least establish that to a point.)

[@nickperez8376]

Easily best reaction to this movie I’ve ever seen. Oak went off 😂 I felt the same

[@mirandavega_]

I was obsessed with the second half of this movie when it came out. It’s definitely different from the usual scary movie tropes. Such a great was to illustrate that monsters can come in ALL forms

[@seanover7352]

I felt the second half was the weakest. still a fun watch but the end was dreadful.

[@hannahremmel9550]

Completely agree. It’s heartbreaking watching Tess kill the mother. She’s so innocent and a byproduct of violence. AJ and Frank are the monsters in this movie. I think this movie is almost a social commentary on women and men just in society. It was really interesting watching four men react to this.

[@anonymousgirl4605]

If The Oak has a daughter, he'd probably be the type of dad who would greet his daughter's date at the door with a baseball bat 😂🤣

[@donniecastro49]

Oak losing his damn mind over her staying over there was hilarious, totally agree my man 😂

[@korih393]

I ADORE this film. It blew me away the first time I watched it - and yes, Oak is right about all the plot holes! For sure! However, for me the brilliance of this film is ALL about the subtext. I take it as a near-mythical cautionary tale heightened to the point of absurdity TO showcase very clearly the point it’s trying to make. Every character subverts expectations in some way, and in this way the casting was brilliant. We have seen Bill act mostly as monsters and creeps, so instantly he comes under suspicion even before circumstances become increasingly awkward. And then (in the final cut), it turns out that he was innocent - a little presumptuous, definitely taking advantage of the rom-com situation, a bit blind to the circumstances, but no monster. Long’s character reveals himself more and more as the film goes on to be a selfish, callous, genuinely awful person under a shiny veneer. A very real kind of monster. And then we have the serial killer under the house - monstrous in the truest sense, deeply evil, cruel and violent and poisonous. MYTHICALLY barbaric to the point of unreality. These three tiers of barbarian outline how impossible it is to determine character based on appearances, and how easily monsters can lurk beneath the surface. It’s a visceral representation of the caution women have to take daily in their interactions - who is a Keith? An AJ? A Frank? You can’t know right off, so you have to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. I consider both Tess and the Creature to be protagonists, in the end. Like you all stated, the creature is a victim - raised in those tunnels, all she has ever known is that nursing video and the fear of her father. Her actions are those of a being who has compassion and desires connection, but has never been socialized or given a moral compass to dictate her actions. Tess - and all her smart and not-so-smart decisions - makes total sense to me. She is obviously smart, makes completely sane choices, has realistic suspicions, but still makes a lot of mistakes too! Her bad decisions as a character all come down to one thing: she keeps going back to/for men who don’t deserve/have not earned her loyalty. It’s a metaphor. She keeps going to find Keith, going back for AJ, declining calls from Marcus but never blocking him. She puts her trust in these people who she really owes nothing to, to her own detriment. She keeps getting hurt, keeps facing these consequences for compassion, until finally she has had enough. Her lesson is that she learns to prioritize her own well-being. She sees the Creature, understands her confusion and love and torment, but shoots her so that she can get away. And she does. (Secure your own mask before you help someone else, girl. Rule one.) Epic final girl, really. I freaking loved this film. I don’t take it as something literal - It’s a huge extended metaphor, so the plot holes don’t bother me. Realism isn’t the point - the lesson is the point. :) Thanks for watching this one, fellas!

[@StacyLym]

One of my favorite reactions you’ve done to date. And to the Oak, thank you for your service! 😂

[@shadowfauxe6468]

This movie had such interesting marketing. One of the trailers was presented as a Rom-Com, and the second was of Justin Long as a Comedy. They even went as far to say the from the creators of Alvin and The Chipmunks ahaha. I also really like how BIll's character was a subversion from the actual horror. he was just a nice guy who came across as awkward and creepy. Great movie and Great Reaction!

[@roems6396]

The writer/director is from the comedy sketch show WKUK, so it makes sense he would have a humorous marketing campaign.

[@Heinz0Fiction]

I personally tend to excuse plot holes to a degree in the horror genre. I mean, almost all of those movies are kinda stupid. There are very, very few who are sane, its like they almost depend on being stupid. They even adress that in Barbarian in the scene where Tess stays in front of the dark hallway and says "nope". But what else could you do as a filmmaker in this scenario? There is just no way any of the horror would have happened if they acted like real people would do. I think thats why barbarian is still a good movie. We all just have to accept the stupidity to be invested in this genre

[@cotevallejos7230]

I love this comment 😂

[@cjjackson2423]

This is how I take em, same with smile for me 😅

[@bloatus7611]

To be even more fair to this film, I don't think those are plot holes. It's just Tess' characterization and the themes of the film. It's kinda fully laid out in her conversation with Keith in the beginning. They brought up the book which was Jane Eyre. A book about a woman who is desperate for love and being valued, self-discovery and gendered. All of which kind of tie in to Tess as a character.

[@MrsNiaboo2000]

Movie is terrible, unforgivable, horrible writing. There are many horror movies that are not this blatantly stupid.

[@lydiaking322]

As a pessimistic human being living in 2023, I agreed with Oak's irritation with the female lead's carelessness and entering the house, but I also was irritated with Skarsgard's character for inviting her in. He doesn't know her and she could've been a killer for all he knew but alas

[@DanielSelk]

The misdirect of Keith's character I think is what really made this film work. Once he unpredictably got killed and shown not the bad guy all along we are on edge with the rest of the film not knowing what other things this movie is gonna pull out from under the rug on us.

[@MJB_9292]

This was a great reaction lol. That keith scene, diamond dave and oak's souls left their body for a moment, meanwhile, answer doesn't even flinch lol i love it 😄 You first start out being scared of the 'monster' but the longer the movie went on, i actually kinda started feeling sorry for her and the real 'monster' was in fact the guy who started all this. She probably doesnt understand this world and just wants to be a mother, especially with that video tape her only source of outside media. No one wants to be born into that or live like that but that sick guy kept doing what he was doing. No wonder she was somewhat scared and backed away from the door when AJ was in front of it and went in to see him. To her, he was the monster to be scared of. I also wonder if that guy killed himself purely cause he didnt want to get caught since someone (AJ) finally found him or if there was any other meaning we could get out of that scene. One thing you didn't touch on, which is fine, is the deeper meaning and commentary about this movie. Lots of layers when you dig deeper beyond just a "fun" movie for those who want to do that or just enjoy the movie as it is, which still works. but like how men are evil and get away with doing stuff, treatment of women, the motherhood elements especially revolving around the "monster" etc etc. can go further but it really is an interesting movie and i'm glad you guys checked it out.

[@bryanxjames1215]

From the initial marketing of this they made seem like a completely different plot & that it starred Skarsgard. Brilliant

Jane Eyre is a book about the titular character discovering the man she’s in love with has someone captive in the catacombs of his castle so it’s a reference to what’s happening in this movie.

@@pxrixo. I never said that’s what the book is about. I just said that happens in the story and that part alone seems to be used as a reference.

[@maximillianosaben]

They cut out a scene from the movie that they felt went too far, especially since they already had the breastfeeding scene; and the director thought Justin Long wouldn't do it, but he was giddy to actually have it done. The scene, which they did film, involved The Mother chewing up a rat and reguritating it (bird-style) to feed Justin Long's character. They decided it wasn't needed though; again, the breastfeeding scene was set up so well and disturbing enough that it already left a good bad taste in your mouth.

[@Xervello]

This movie is great at parallels. In particular, the scene where A.J. is being forced to breastfeed against his will is a bit of karma for he how forced his co-star against her will. Also, the casting was brilliant. Bill Skarsgard is known for playing devious characters, while Justin Long plays good characters. Pitting them against their type adds another layer of suspicion and suspense.

And woman (Tess) trying to help the men even though they ignored her concerns.

[@mitchellhp]

One of the coolest things of this movie is subverting the audience’s automatic expectations just based on the cast. Casting Bill Skarsgard, known for being Pennywise, had most of us immediately suspicious of his character, especially given the circumstances. And then casting Justin Long, known for playing lovable characters, as such an asshole was surprising as well. As you watch the movie, you’re kind of unlearning your natural instinct to trust him. And on top of that, for Tess to make every single wrong decision you could make in a horror movie 😂 I’m glad y’all liked the movie overall. Oak, I would encourage you to be more open & practice some suspension of disbelief in these stories. Sometimes things are outrageously unrealistic, but that’s just the world the story is in

[@lynthia]

LOL Oak is speakin my language! 16:26 was definitely my fav reaction moment 🤣

[@goke8456]

This was the best movie to go into blind. The only thing I knew about it was the one-line description on the streaming service and I’m so glad I didn’t know anything. When it jumped to Justin Long I had the same “did I change the channel by mistake?” reaction. I can appreciate what the Oak had to say about plot holes, but at the same time I think you need to consider that they were highlighting how people can act in spite of so many red flags. I think with time, people have become better about standing up for themselves and being wary of dangerous situations, but I also think it’s still WAY too common that women are taught to be accommodating and polite, and this is what happens. It was quick at the beginning, but the fact that Tess kept ignoring calls from Marcus but never blocking him maybe hints that she’s uncomfortable really putting her foot down and drawing that line with him. She was clearly not ok with any of her situation but was too polite to just say “nope I’m out of here, bye” and get back in her car. Bill played Keith absolutely perfectly. I did the same kind of second guessing - is this guy trying way too hard to play the nice guy, or is the movie setting me up to think the wrong thing? When they were putting the sheets on the bed, I was SO sure he was going to use that sheet to grab and detain her. Another great movie that subverts expectations that I’d love to see you guys check out is Malignant.

[@michelle6337]

I have been watching horror movies for nearly 30 years now since I snuck into the living room when I was 5 and watched Candyman (which was a huge traumatizing mistake. Still the scariest movie I've ever seen). I am extremely good at suspending my disbelief in horror movies, and it takes something egregiously stupid to genuinely annoy me with regards to protagonist actions. But Tess going down to the creepy murder basement not once but twice for men she barely new drove me absolutely crazy. What are you going to do, Tess? You didn't grab a weapon. And best case scenario is something was keeping Keith from returning, worst case he was a murderer trying to lure you into his lair. How were you going to counter that? And why in Wes Carpenter's name would you go after the second guy you knew even less than the first guy!? Absolutely maddening. The only reason I was rooting for her in the end is I didn't want Weinstein Jr. being the sole survivor.

[@RatchetandClank145]

I know I'm very late to this but the reason that the Jeep Liberty was labeled a Cherokee is because the film was shot in Bulgaria where the Liberty is called a Cherokee. Apparently its named Cherokee in a lot of places across Europe.

[@rHamUK]

The producers are the exec producers of IT (hence Bill doing them a solid by being in it for not much money at all esp after 2 new babies) and The Grudge and The Ring. So theyve done amazing horrors! The Grudge is incredible

[@FeelinErie]

I LOVE that Tess became a Final Girl.

[@Rheanala]

Not the cut to “I don’t think it’s gonna have jump scares” 💀😆

[@GranFelicia]

Oh I'm dying!! I just started watching this reaction and Oak.... OMG, I'm so with you on your feelings!! Not sure why the other 3 were on you so much when you were being suspish; but man it made for an EPIC reaction that had me laughing so much!! Very needed today, you guys rock so much! PS: Oak....your tense face is on a whole other level!! I feel your stress and discomfort while watching

[@Khay-77]

The first half of this movie is a masterclass in suspense.

[@Kevin.Costner.]

Question for anyone that can answer, does the Oscars have a seperate Category for Horror because the Genre has been crushing recent years, Happy Halloween Now imma enjoy this reaction🍿

[@omegashinra7672]

Unfortunately, no. And it goes beyond that, Horror as a genre is often completely overlooked by the Oscars, purposely, because it's seen a lesser form of film. If you look up the history, you'll find barely any nominations and only a small handful of wins in the entire history. Actors/actresses are often overlooked and never nominated in the first place despite giving mindblowing performances, see Mia Goth in Pearl, Toni Collette in Hereditary, Lupita Nyong’o in US , Florence Pugh in Midsommar, Elisabeth Moss in The Invisible Man, the list goes on and on and on. It's a massive point of contention against the Oscars in the horror community.

[@Kevin.Costner.]

^ Ahhh Gotcha thanks, i really wanted Tobin Bell to get one for Saw X Amazing

[@joshuacoldwater]

They also don’t have a Category for comedy. Their nominations are normally Drama, Action, Family, or Animated Films. Rarely and I mean rarely they will nominate a Drama/Thriller like “The Silence of The Lambs” and it will sweep. The film is still listed as a Drama though, which truly sucks because a lot of my favorite horror films would never be able to pass as dramas.

[@jessielallier9483]

I loved this movie. The way they used Bill Skarsgard to offset your expectations at the beginning.

[@bennett7099]

never even noticed the jane eyre book on my first watch which is crazy cause in the book there's a monster woman-type thing that's living in the attic (which is a really poor summary, there's a lot of feminist subtext there and it's definitely interesting connecting it to this movie)

[@LifeWithHeather818]

It was the guys wife that was unwell to my understanding.

[@raspberrybellini]

When I watch reactors reacting I sometimes question how genuine the reactions are, except this movie, everyone freaks out just like you guys did , just like I did. I read that Bill Skarsgard was a Co producer on this. My favourite movie of the past couple of years.

[@w1975b]

Right after the movie ends, everyone is saying stuff except Oak. He's just sitting there as if he's in shock lol.

[@Ricec0o0ker]

I swear y’all are one of the best reaction channels. Very entertaining!!!

[@alexianigollarza3583]

loved how all but the Answer reacted to the part where Bill's character is killed (the jump scare before), Oak nearly had a heart attack and the Answer was cool as a cucumber🤣🤣

[@laserspewpew_7175]

I really loved the opening 30 mins, the build up and tension was great. Once we saw the monster under the house it kind of lost me.

[@sparrow845]

15:15 "I don't think we're gonna have jump scares" LOL

[@oliviab3566]

Not sure if you've gotten any suggestions for it yet, but James Wan's Malignant is such a fun group watch

[@litttlemochi]

I saw this last year with another movie in the theatre on Halloween, I did laugh at some parts but it did put me on edge quite a bit! My mom and I hadn't looked at any of the trailers and stuff so we were pretty shocked with where it went to say the least LOL

[@sharonjoan1970]

Happy Tuesday! Hope you guys like this one❤

[@cannibalcatgirl]

My thought this whole movie was… is it really so bad to sleep in one’s car? I woulda just cut my losses right off the bat and found me a quiet spot to park lol

[@arianaleiner5865]

Dave.. . the Oak we were on the same wavelength watching this movie!! Love watching you guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@troikas3353]

I don't think practicality is a bad thing. It's incredibly easy to write any story if you just don't worry about the details of how things add up, but going the extra mile to think things out and make it connect and work within the rules of the world its taking place in elevates any story. For horror it also adds to the fear if the story has as few leaps and holes as possible as it makes it feel more real.

[@XxXDestroyer]

I absolutely love the sound design in this film and the way it's shot.

[@mdtrtwlt]

The editing on this reaction is just *chefs kiss*

[@tmatthewnielsen]

Was not expecting a Paul Brothers reference. 😂 Good one, Oak.

[@The_Last_KrypTONYan]

First time commenting. I love you, Oak. I showed this to my mom (it’s a scary movie if SHE thinks it’s a scary movie.) You two acted the saaame way as her lol. Amazing video, guys, keep it up (Oak was riiight…)

[@rHamUK]

What i will say regarding the end, ive used airbnb a few times and unfortunately they dont do legit checks, ive turned up and it is just straight up not the house at all, u can lie on the forms and just take pics of the house, not even surroundings so thats just one thing to take into consideration 😄 But i agree tho Oak! Theres a few holes and ofc isnt the most realistic thing but as u said, its a movie. The directors and producers were defo going for the tense scary vibe more

[@jayo2614]

I’m a grown man and I’m not sleeping with any stranger under same roof like this situation 😂😂😂

[@thylionheart]

5:43 THANK YOU OAK lol the red flags were VIBRANT

[@silver292]

Started watching this movie with NO idea what it was about and DANG what a ride. Such a well executed movie. I thought the movie deserved a better ending than what we got, but still. Great movie.

[@low60000]

the jeep is marked Cherokee instead of Liberty because the movie was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria, and in Europe Liberty's are marked Cherokee for some reason lol

[@gabrielaolivares9610]

Gracias por su reacción. Justo hoy vi la película con mí esposo y de inmediato necesitaba ver si ustedes tenían una reacción. Gracias ❤🎉

[@iShipIt]

Really great reaction. This movie freaked me out so bad.

[@pearltheodorarose4625]

This movie and you guys had Oak Stressing out so bad 😂😂

[@KB_-_]

3:00 “Love in the Villa” is the RomCom version of this 😂

[@jodyemclovin2607]

I can’t even begin to express how y’all got me on the floor😭😭 someone check on Oak!! YOU ALIVE UNC??😂

[@MoviesMoveMe]

LOL you guys were hilarious, fun reaction. Subscribed.

[@BaddMedicine]

We appreciate it! Thank you for watching with us 🤙

[@nikkixo6334]
