It was actually the goblin daughter who killed the trick or treater. She lied to make him distrust the parents. They just covered it up.

[@EmpressRetard]

That makes more sense. Some people may still be mildly ashamed of having deformed kids these days, but when's the last time you heard of a modern family locking a kid inside the house forever and ever, just because it was born funny? Nowadays, they'd just give it up for adoption or something. Makes more sense that the daughter is dangerous/evil, so they feel an obligation to shield the world from HER, and also protect the daughter from the consequences that would follow her release into the wild lol.

The whole movie felt like a child's nightmare. They put so much into the sets and color grading. It looked like an old fairy tale but set in suburbia. The actors playing the parents did a perfect job of portraying a warped version of a classic American family from the 50's. You really feel like their about to snap at any moment.

[@sugarpea4484]

That's one point I can super agree on. Even before we find out the parents are supposed to be nad parents, the way the dad said things sometimes, and in such a casual manner, I was like "Woah, thats... a little fucked up" but they did a good job at first of keeping the weirdness of the parents subtle

[@dominickbradley2237]

Love your reviews man, but actually the daughter was the one to kill the child before the movie began. Usually, things like missing plot details don't affect the review too much, but this point seemed to really stick out for you when you had the wrong idea. Don't know if it changes your thoughts on the film, but for me it makes the movie make a lot more sense and gives the daughter a more interesting backstory. Also, makes the parents a lot more understandable, even if they are still psychos.

The parents are shown feeding her as well. They didn't think she was dead like he implies.

They knew she was alive because at one point, they show the mother leaving the entrance to the wall (behind the clock) with an empty pitcher. That was supposed to be proof that they were bringing her food and water. Why they thought she'd never contact her brother and just stay silent in there...I have no idea! Because this movie sucks? LOL EDIT: Oh, I also think that's why the dad was randomly bleeding when the teacher showed up. They never explain that, but it looks like he got attacked by something. I got the impression that he was tending to "wall girl" and she scratched or bit him.

[@luciuseclipse]

The daughter killed the trick or treater, she lied to the brother because she's manipulating him to free her. The parents locked up the daughter in response to the murder and covered it up.

[@kiillabytez]

Maybe the boy killed the girl for his sister. Maybe the parents KNEW the boy is evil and that's why they treat him that way, (cornered animal trope) and maybe the boy kills the parents because it is only they who are keeping him and his sister prisoner. Maybe there really is no "spider sister?" Maybe the boy is the killer in the movie? I know it all sounds far fetched, but it IS one theory. And do NOT tell me the theory is wrong, because it's MY theory. You want a different interpretation then make your own.

[@kiillabytez]

I say the sister doesn't exist because kids can have imaginary friends. When the dying mother says "Don't let her out" she could have been referring to the boy letting the evil out, naming the evil "Her" because it's got to have a name, right, which was never given in the movie.

I feel like you missed sooo much in this movie, which is surprising since your reviews and analysis are usually spot on. #1 Biggest point, they clearly show the parents take care of the daughter. The Mom leaves the door at one point holding water. They know shes in the walls. #2 Shes in the wall because she killed the trick-or-treater. The parents covered up the death and locked her away because they knew something was wrong with her. #3 The movie's cinematography is through the eyes of a child. We follow the main character and see the wold as he sees it for the most part. Hence why the parents seem a little off, high open ceilings, ect. I view the movie through the lens of "what if all the wild thoughts you had about your parents as a kid were real?".

Maybe the way Elvis described sounded like a silly Goosebumps episode but no, he was so wrong on how many things played out, and on HUGE plot details.************Spoilers I guess*************************************** Liiike how the daughter actually killed the Trick R Treater, not the mom or dad. The parents buried the tRt in the pumpkin patch and covered it up for their disturbed daughter. The parents also definitely know she is alive, as they are seen feeding/giving her water throughout the movie(clock). Now maybe it is kind of making a bit more sense on how and why they acted so "off'" (to say the least lol) throughout the film. It doesn't make them "good", but it definitely makes a lot more sympathetic and human. The daughter is about as evil, as evil gets. I am sure Elvis was just busy or tired, but I hope he gives this one another chance...and his attention this time. Lol It's a really fun horror movie that literally bleeds Halloween. I just really dug it, and I think when more people actually start giving it a chance they will be pleasantly surprised. Did you watch the movie @tdata545? Not just internet videos about it. Just curious. Not trying to be a smarta$$.

[@GreenDinoRanger]

​@tdata545 Yeah, Fear Street was the series you're thinking of. Plus a bunch of other stand-alone books that were aimed at teenagers. He continued writing Fear Street books about 10 years ago, but they weren't as unique as Goosebumps or the original Fear Street stories. I read 4 of them before I stopped because 3 used the very same plot points despite being different characters and supernatural elements.

[@tdata545]

@@GreenDinoRanger That's depressing to hear. When you've written as much as him, and as quickly as him, probably hard to write unique things anymore, without fear of stepping on other authors' shoes and getting accused of plagiarism.

[@JayStrang1]

Typically when someone misses major plot points in something they're reviewing, they notice at some point during the editing process when they're stuck watching the thing repeatedly to gather clips. Not Elvis though, apparently. He missed most of the plot of this film and made the video anyway.

[@tdata545]

Yeah this was a weird one, this could be his biggest blunder. I didn't even like the movie, I'd give it a 5 out of 10, at best. I also only saw it once while doing house chores, and I noticed he missed the whole part where the PARENTS 100% know the girl's in the wall, it's not mentioned a lot in the movie, but the movie does deliberately focus on them feeding her, talking about her as well. ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER THE MOTHER NOTICES THE WALLPAPER PEELED OFF.

[@iamthegnarwhal8322]

Usually I’m a huge fan of Elvis’ reviews, but this one seemed like he didn’t fully watch the movie. The fact that he didn’t notice that the child in the garden was killed by the daughter, or that the parents knew their daughter was alive and was feeding and taking care of her. The parents aren’t homicidal but they are unstable. They love their kids and instead of shipping their daughter off to an institution they opted to keep her and take care of her. This is referenced when the mother goes on her rant when the teacher comes over and semi-accused them of child abuse. Lots of small details make this film great. You just have to pay attention. The house is small but looks huge on the inside because it represents a child’s perspective another part of the direction that I really loved.

[@kilow76]

I swear, I watched this movie and the fact that it ended with a goblin daughter instead of being about the parents being the big bad is so maddening

[@kendra_t]

I walked in while my sister was watching this movie and was also disappointed in the weird goblin girl reveal xD

[@DirtangelOFFICIAL]

While i was watching this movie i was expecting the sister to have had something wrong with her and since the parents are obviously crazy they locked her away in fear of her being some type of demon, and that the story would be about the sister and brother trying to escape their psycho parents. As soon as they revealed the sister to actually be the bad guy i was done with the movie at that point.

[@accidentallyamy1063]

The whole attempt at the obvious “Devine Intervention” word play with the teacher fills me with inexplicable rage lol

[@myyoutube7366]

The girl killed the trick r treater, and the girl who is trying to get free, after her parents locked her in in response to her killing, lied to her brother to manipulate him into freeing her. The movie is then from the perspective of a paranoid young kid who isnt sure who to believe and whose world is turned upside down, while also being a victim to bullying. From his perspective, the girl in the walls is helping him stand up for himself, and his parents behaviour seems to seem suspiscious to HIM because he doesnt fully understand whats going on. thats literally the point. So its supposed to be the twist that if you were the kid, you wouldnt be sure who to trust.

[@AdAstraCompany]

The craziest part of the movie was how Miss Divine, a substitute teacher of a child for ONE WEEK, chose to breach the school's code of ethics and wanted to resolve the problem herself like a creepy vigilante. I also would be pissed if I was the parent. No phone call, no Parent Teacher conference, you just show up at my house and shove my son's art in my face without any introductions? Are you high?

[@DragonTrove]

I think one very integral plot point you missed here is that the parents didn't kill the trick or treater, the daughter did and lied to her brother about it. The plot is a little vague, but the parents covered the death up and hid their daughter away because she was a danger to everyone, but they couldn't bare to kill her themselves. They even take care of her in the walls, you see the mother exiting the door in the film with a tray of food and water. They just know she's a danger and don't know what to do about it besides covering her existence up and gaslighting their son. They are not the most mentally well parents clearly XD

[@pigeontoes5421]

⁠@@xtorterraxgreymonx12ahh38 the writing is genuinely awful and the acting direction is bizarre. I honestly dont know how anyone could look at this movie and think its good. The parents jumped from overprotective and loving to abusive psychos to terrified and concerned whenever the plot needed them to. Not a single ounce of consistent characterization, and for some reason the actors were instructed to act as GLARINGLY suspicious and psychotic as possible. I know theyre good actors, but the movie made them look bad with how over-acted their characters were. The teacher-- literally every decision she made put that kid in active danger. Going to their house, showing his parents an obvious cry for help, CALLING HIM BACK WHEN HE VERY OBVIOUSLY CALLED HER IN SECRET AND HAD TO HANG UP THE PHONE QUICKLY, Not notifying CPS or the police when she had SIGNIFICANT reason to suspect he was being abused, going to his house AGAIN without calling authorities, NOT CALLING AUTHORITIES AGAIN WHEN SHE SAW BLOOD??? Genuinely the worst character in the movie imo. Im very easily scared by cheap horror, and this movie didnt even have an ounce of tension for me. And saying this movie has themes of abuse is laughable. Sure they shoehorned it in, but it was entirely out of nowhere with zero buildup, just 0-100. Needless to say, thats not exactly how abuse works. Ppl seriously need to raise their standards with that sort of thing-- having abuse or some other dark topic in a piece of media doesnt mean it was handled well or a good representation of it in any way, but for some reason a ton of ppl seem to give participation trophies for it being included at all. Thats not everything I have to say but my comment would be essay-length if I went into everything.

[@Starburst514]

I liked this movie because the style was like very grimm's fairytale-ish, in modern day. The parents are the threat, hidden away siblings, old house, a lot of shots seem modern fairytale to me, like the pumpkin , a sibling born a montser, etc. Its all very fairytale logic, even Peter's name is one you'd find in old stories It was a lot more enjoyable to take it that way , as working on kid and fairytale logic

[@TheYodelingViking]

So everything Elvis got wrong: 1. The parents know their daughter is alive as they feed her which was shown in the movie. 2. The buried skeleton was not the parents kill, but the daughters. They just covered it up to protect her. 3. They just want their son to not know about their daughter and don't know she can go between the walls as she does. 4. As she knows her parents know she's alive she just doesn't want them to know she's asking their son for help. (This is worth criticising though since should they really not believe their son that keeps saying he hears someone in their walls so this point and the one before is something he got wrong, but their still something to criticize as it shows a lack of intelligence and simple put 2 and 2 together on the parents part as obviously rats can't knock on the walls also why would the son not show the hole in the wall and tell them he saw a girls eye there? Another point of criticism on my part at least is the reveal of how she looks. The movie is called Cobwebs an inherently Spider like name, she can crawl on walls very quickly and efficiently, she eats insects and drinks peoples blood. It was set up perfectly that she's very spider like so her having a goofy ass smile with sharp teeth that is just in almost every stupid monster flick nowadays that just breaks the tension and makes me unable to take it seriously anymore rather than resembling a Spider is just a huge setup oppurtunity wasted imo. If they made the parents a little smarter, made them not help their sons bullying problem in a more believable way (They're scared he might get too violent like their daughter perhaps), made the daughter kind of like Ellie in Let The Right One In where she's the one trying to help him (or making him believe she is when she just wants to manipulate him) and having her resemble a spider rather than a goofy ass monster and this movie could actually be good rather than wasted oppurtunity).

The mom and dad also knew she was alive, they locked her in the basement cage for a while when she was young and then put her in the walls. You can see the mom in one scene coming out of the little room bringing her water. I don’t think they would have made a little door if they just killed the goblin girl and left her for dead. Still a good review though!

this feels like if bruno's (from encanto) story was in real life and not a disney movie

[@phenyx7259]

I enjoyed the movie quite well as I did this video. Two things you got wrong though: 1. The parents didn't kill the trick-or-treater but just covered up their daughter's mess, who escaped one Halloween night. 2. The parents fed her - I think there even is one scene showing the mother putting something to eat in the door behind the clock. As to why the daughter, strong as she is, wasn't able to escape while the parents were still alive, I don't know. Maybe she was afraid of them or they have a similar kind of strength - some people speculate that Peter does too as he was able to throw her into the pit. But this didn't bother me that much. I can live with some explanations being left out or open to interpretation as long as they don't create huge plot holes, which wasn't the case for me apart from her being way too strong to be held back by a wall or a door - maybe the creators of this movie weren't aware how much power is needed to lift a human being with that ease. All in all: A fun movie to watch imo. Btw. love your videos. Found your channel 2-3 years ago and I have enjoyed every single one of them.

I saw this movie as a reflection on generational abuse and trauma; although i genuinely couldn't figure out if it deserves that much credit, or it was just meant to be a spooky fairy tale

A house like that would not have hollow walls like that.

[@IAmLiamMcPoyle]

The daughter felt rejected by the parents and resented the son who they had accepeted so she waited for the son to get to an age where he could empathize with her and eventually in a cruel trick have him kill the parents. Where's the love for the Buseys?! Brian is Gary's son, Shaster McNasty's broooo

Same once you don't overthink the logic its a solid movie.

[@griggletv6974]

​@eradicatedpulse6896 so you have to turn your 🧠 off to enjoy it okay lol

[@pssurvivor]

​ @griggletv6974 not really. the movie isn't any more illogical than many other HW projects. All movies and literature require some amount of willing suspension of disbelief. You do know that right? Also, they do show the mom feeding the girl through the door. They are keeping her there willingly, she's their daughter and they cannot bring themselves to kill/abandon her but they also cannot accept her as she is. It's really not that illogical within the universe of the movie.

[@Gamers_Rise_Up]

15:55 that’s Scooby you’re thinking of elviz

[@Kristine_202]

I think she started in the basement, but escaped (because she learned how to climb like a spider), and that's why they put her in the walls. I wrote this in my other comment, but they knew she was alive the whole time. I guess they kept her alive because she's their kid and they love her...Although they had a twisted way of showing it. Also, you're totally right, she absolutely would attack them whenever they opened that little entrance door behind the clock to give her food/water, but you can't expect the filmmakers to think of EVERYTHING! 🤣

[@trimex7234]

Doesn't the dad show up randomly bleeding in one moment? I think that's because of him trying to feed her (since we see they go to feed her from time to time)

Pretty sure cobweb girl killed that trick or treater but just lied and blamed parents . Thought they were covering for her then gave up on her and stuck her in the basement or wall. Least that’s what I was assuming

[@Dadewey88]

Think he really missed this point

[@TheLongestTake]

When Miss Divine is hacking the wall, I liked how it looks like the axe-to-door scene in the shining.

[@marsmellon]

I think they showed the mother opening the doorway to the walls (the clock) so I assumed that they were feeding their daughter all this time. There's many plot holes, but I also assumed that they were crazy. Peter could've trick or treated just fine.. They knew that their daughter killed the trick or treater, and yes, I assume the daughter killed and ate her or something like that.

The most baffling thing about this movie is the fact it's a shittier version of the simpsons treehouse of horror episode about bart's evil twin and got away with it

[@idc1738]

[@Shadow-In-The-East]

He's not even trying anymore. Literally all of the comments are about how he just completely missed the fact that the parents knew she was alive and were actively feeding her. And yet he repeatedly acts like this isn't the case. I don't even think he watched more than 1/3 of this movie, and just had his editor stitch together some of his inaccurate and shit takes on the film. He doesn't care at all. Clearly coasting by on his adsense and clothing revenue, he only sees us, his subscribers as adsense $$. Sad.

[@firstlast9846]

*I thought the Boogeyman* was a overhated horror project this year.. that opening of a demon saying to a child “Let me hold you” while being out of focus was terrifying.. and they actually had the balls to kill the kid too.

[@andrewjones7800]

Opening was awesome, but I felt the rest of the movie didn’t continue to keep the giant balls it had

[@firstlast9846]

@andrewjones7800 - Agreed. But then again I don’t think it was as horrible as say “The Nun” and other horror movies.

[@Bats.Fly.At.Night.]

The bogeyman was better than I expected the worst movie I've seen this year was definitely Insidious portrait of a failure I walked out in that one

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Someone else said the movie plays like a fable told through the boy's eyes. So, some details seem unreliable or exaggerated (like the inside of the house, the sister, weird parents, etc) and with that info I enjoy the flick a little more. Filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria which strikes me as an odd place to shoot small town USA but it does add to the off-kilter feel. imo
