COBWEB (2023) Movie Review | Maniacal Cinephile

[@jarodM6]

A child with bad parents and a kind loving teacher. This is like a horror and Thriller version of Matilda. Imagine if Mara Wilson played the kind teacher

[@NowhereManTK]

Another Mitch Hedberg reference?! Andy, you spoil us.

[@MrDman21]

Andy arguing with his personalities is always funny 😂

[@matthewmcshane399]

I think the message of the movie is that pushing away and hiding family problems without acknowledging or dealing with them can lead to huge problems. Like cobwebs. You can dust them all away, but unless you actually deal with the spider it will keep happening until...you can't stop it at all anymore. I think that's the symbolic reason for the third act craziness. The parents locked the sister away when she likely just freaked them out with her appearance and that abandonment and all the gaslighting they do to avoid their serious problems turned her into an actual monster.

[@kyrauniversal]

Exactly! It reminds me of the most saddest game I ever saw played. A horror game called "You Are Grounded" where a child lives in the basement of his parents, after his dad killed his mom for "making a devil child" and loses so much of himself, not even having a mirror to look at, that he turns into a monster.

[@ericwhite1942]

I......didn't catch that until now. Thanks

[@kyrauniversal]

@@ericwhite1942 It was a bit easier for me to think of that. Self Preservation is one half of the coin to manipulation. Not that the first reply I made here doesn't say that clearly.

[@PotatoKing86]

Real

[@ryanmclellan8740]

YA KNOW WHAT!? I got off work early, no bills in the mail, all my house chores done, and Andy has a new video out. To quote Ice Cube, "today was a good day."

[@garyschlagheck4871]

i love that you took the time to add a story under Evil's mug shot :)

[@dantereyes4304]

This feels like it needs a sequel to fill out the blanks. As a Stand-alone film it just feels like there was a lot left on the cutting room floor sometimes known as sequel fodder.

[@theaaronlennon]

Just saw this film tonight and i come back to see youve uploaded a video about it! What a great night this has turned out to be, cheers Andy!

[@moviemaniac1838]

The leather face beauty product bit had really good production and Looks awesome. Reminded me of the Rob Zombie, "Yeah"! From a previous video. I always appreciate the jokes in your videos

[@DchanZockt]

5:30 You could also say that the last half of the movie has more holes, than a cobweb.

[@featherguardian6023]

Honestly I didn’t know this Film existed even if Anthony Starr is in it I enjoyed this Review like Evil’s Chaotic Ideas and Jokes or think about how Good Andy is playing with Wednesday and Pugsley and I’m questioning how Bloody Violent Mileena, Baraka, Nitara, Havik, Omni Man, and Homelander will be in MK1.

[@paulinegallagher7821]

Lizzy Caplan is so good at playing villains; she just has that look. I wasnt crazy about Fatal Attraction though, she tried to hard to be Glen Close. Great review as always Andys, little Andy is so cute ❤

[@66cuda]

Thanks!

[@AngelCruz-pd1hc]

It is always great to see your new videos. I love your content Andy. The movie was good and had good horror. Have a great day Andy and can't wait for more content from you!

[@uncoolmartin460]

Great work again Andy, loved the review crossed with brilliant humour. I think I might have seen one trailer for this a long time ago but I never thought much about it. If I get the chance to see it, I'll probably go for it based on your review. I gotta admit I wasn't that surprised when you said the director was a fan of the shining, the first images you showed made me think of the shining immediatley. Well done all three of ya !!

[@uncoolmartin460]

Aww, Good Andy "Did she trip down the stairs in the dark?" that got me good man.

[@ddrlear]

I was just checking your channel earlier today to see if a new video dropped. Love you and your work andy!

[@DrownedBoyProductions]

Always a good day when I get that notification that Andy has uploaded a new video! I hope you have a great Halloween Season Andy!

[@MartillodeMiller]

Cool to see you here dude! love your channel!

[@diobrando5896]

I liked cobweb. I wish it was a little bit easier to find the movie in theaters to support it

[@s3.14dervision]

"Like most sisters!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 having one of them myself, I can verify Good Andy's statement!

[@gaberivera217]

Great review Andy's I never even heard of this movie till your review.

[@evildoughboy7773]

Father insisted that he build our home over an abandoned Mineshaft out in the middle of nowhere, where he would then throw all of his children down the hole. It was those of us who had the will and strength to climb back up that he would consider us worthy to be raised as one of his own. Mother packed me a brown bag of tuna fish sandwiches, Doritos and a few juice boxes for the trip...

[@vonVile]

Andy, it's good to see you review Cobweb. Lionsgate screwed this movie with zero advertising. I only happened upon it looking up movies that were coming soon and thought the poster looked interesting. Lucky for me it was playing near me. As for you assessment, you are over thinking it. The reason she couldn't get out was she had no leverage. Her body is tall and gangly confined in a cramped space.

[@somedude8548]

I always get excited when I see a new video from the Andys. 🎉🙏

[@ericwhite1942]

He got his older sister to beat down his bullies. Gotta love the classics

[@guyjperson]

From the review it reminds me a little of that Lights Out movie that was made from the short. The premise was great, and the set up was terrific, only to be let down by the extended version. (or, and this is controversial, the same could be said about It Follows)

[@cazory2147]

SPOILERS! The reveal was explained, there is a shot when Peter is looking at his bed. It changes from being disgusting to clean. This is a fantasy horror from the POV of a psychotic killer. Peter. There is no Sister in the Wall. It's a story about the mental breakdown and psychosis of a movie horror villain, Peter. Why I love this movie, yet so many take what they are seeing as what is actually happening.

[@wstine79]

When I hear Cobweb in the horror context, I think of the Flu where the fly with the human head says, "HELP ME!" on the spider web.

[@JenMistress]

It is true what you say about word of mouth. I was going to stay home that weekend, because neither Barbie nor Oppenheimer seemed like my type of movie. Then saw a couple of KZbin reviews tells me about Cobweb. Decided that this sounds like my type of movie, so went to see this instead, and really enjoyed it. Thought it was a fun horror movie, and gave it an A. And even though we don't agree on this, still enjoyed your video. The police chase really cracked me up, specially the driving in circles. 😂🤣😂🤣 Thank you, Andy.

[@lopirobinson1991]

Just came across your channel and have been binging for a half hour 👍

[@guardiangamer4156]

I love the lore in these videos

[@MartillodeMiller]

New video from Andy yeah! I haven't seen this one, maybe i will after forgetting the spoilers just to see Antony Starr.

[@Phillip_jeffries71]

"I'd be concerned...over his lack of talent", you're the best Evil Andy

[@noooooble4685]

This reminds me a lot of Wes cravens people under stairs also what do you think of barbarian i thought It was fine but the movie lost me when it switched gears

[@boomstickcritique902]

I found this pretty good the climax has some holes like the supernatural strength and such but I was able to look past that for the most part because to me it was one of those typical horror movie things. By typical I mean the whole couple has a deformed mutant off spring so I wasnt to bothered by it this is less a straight horror movie and more a dark fairy tale thriller flick.

[@jagerdoug]

I'm sorry, but that Mitch Herberg joke made me want to open a wall, so hilarious

[@dubuyajay9964]

00:29. I watch it for you...three Andy's. Whether the film is good...or stomped! 🥾📼📀💿

[@paulrees3861]

Its only just come out in the UK. I watched it last night but missed the first 15 minutes as Equalizer 3 overrun. Thought it wasn't bad.

[@heavymetal3577]

1:29 I can see The Toxic Avenger Remake poster ☢💚 And Bulgaria is where the man with the screaming brain 🤯🧠 was filmed

[@jonnybarnard8578]

I ain't even heard of this movie, but i saw a new cinephile review and I was on it!

[@ltrm75]

I love this channel's humor 😂 hopefully we can get more soon

[@rosenrot234]

3:13 I wish I could like this vid multiple times just for the Mitch Hedberg reference

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

11:35 Now that would be a fun review!

[@jackdoobie]

Good take, I thought basically the same thing when I saw it.

[@jackatkinson245]

I love cobweb the cinematography, the acting, just everything I can see why people think the twist is weird and plot holes feel unanswered but I love that there was no answer to what peter’s sister actually is after all what’s more scarier than the unknown

[@aubreechadek13200]

Ive never heard of this, thank for reviewing it so I can put it on my watch list, even if the ending is askew

[@theMainFNMan]

I've been sick for the last few days with covid your videos have really helped me get through this thank you Andy 🙏

[@jugghead82]

Prayers I hope you feel better 🙏❤❤

[@theMainFNMan]

@@jugghead82 feeling a bit better everyday that passes thank you for your prayers I hope you and yours stay safe out there in this crazy world 🙏

[@theMainFNMan]

@@jugghead82 also thank you you don't know me from Adam that you wish me well I really needed that I've been feeling like lately people just don't care about people thank you for your well wishes again 🙏💕

[@TyranusRex721]

Speaking of a movie no one saw, I hope you do a review of Last Voyage of the Demeter. It is a fantastic movie that got no marketing.

[@marywinchester1322]

Ending Spoilers: I think the movie was decent. However, it would be better if they explained more about Sarah. They could have easily thrown in something about the supernatural or the parents messing with the devil/paranormal.....just a little something. I like the ending for I believe Peter made it out. However, his sister scares him one last time telling him that he is scarred for life. At least, that's how I saw it.

[@lasershark3606]

Great video as always

[@daniellewillis2767]

Oh boy, more Andy! I'm here!

[@AubreyTheKing]

This movie actually wasn't that bad. Pretty decent. Especially after most of the shitty remake and sequel horror movies these days, it's nice to get an original film once and awhile. And Cobweb was good. It's no masterpiece, the ending did feel rushed and chaotic lol but for what it is, it's pretty good to me personally. Good review Andy! Thanks for giving the film a chance to review.

[@michaelsinger4638]

The acting was good, it was shot well, it had a nice air of tension and suspense. But that twist raises SO MANY questions?

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Now I want to see an international road trip with Andy, Good Andy, and Evil Andy. :p

[@christopherboudreau43]

I gotta ask... Does it get hot wearing the bandages every video? Also, is it hard to breathe wearing those? Final question: How did you come up with the character?

[@EZD856]

Love your videos! The most original channel!

[@JonScatman]

It's always a good day with a new Andy video

[@williamhanekom9882]

I really enjoyed this movie for the most part, the production design, the acting and atmosphere was really engaging. I only kind of wish the ending wasn't as abrupt and cliche as it was. Like you could have at least added 5 or 10 extra minutes to get the point of the kid's trauma across without having the psycho spider rapunzel lady exposit it to the audience.

[@66cuda]

Thank you for this film I never heard of, did you ever review color out of space by Richard Stanley, with Nicholas cage?

[@EpicJasonX9000]

I didn’t see it, mainly because I’ve been too busy seeing the Reel D 3-D screening of the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park twice (once back on Tuesday and twice by tomorrow afternoon), and the Fathom Events 35th anniversary screening of John Carpenter’s They Live on Sunday.

[@cylereyes8195]

Hey Andy, quick question. Will you ever review foreign horror films in the future? Specifically asian horror thats been remade. Have a great day and keep pumping out amazing content!!!! Been a viewer since 2017!

[@theultimatehellsing4438]

As lovely video as always Andy keep it up :-D

[@dainewm]

I'm going to keep sharing your vids til you reach 70k subs

[@reneelyons6836]

Nice!!!! I'm growing pumpkins too!!!!!!

[@nikwaddell3948]

I would totally love to see you cover. “2001 maniacs”

[@morecringe89]

I am not going to theater but I like this channel. This looks as good as blue Beatle lol

[@Graver81-69]

I saw a preview for the movie and then I nothing so I forgot about it until this video. I still want to watch it because of the actors and that freaky girl at the ending. I wonder if the girl that went missing and the thing in the wall are the same?

[@jugghead82]

I agree with Evil Andy Ms. Devine is FINE I actually saw this one at the movies me an my family were originally going to the movies to watch the new insidious movie but it was sold out so we wanted a horror movie to watch an saw this movie to me it was a surprise welcome I actually enjoyed it. I do agree with you on the ending it is crazy. Is Sarah this or that by the way just found out Debra Wilson of MadTV does the voice of Sarah. Awesome Vid as Always

[@capitalcitygoofball1987]

I got a bit of a Barbarian vibe from this, and tbh there was quite a bit that didn't make sense when I really thought about it, but still a fun watch. And no one went to see it because it was playing in very few theaters. I'm not driving an hour unless I'm on vacation.

[@deraykrause4517]

Not gonna lie, dude, I loved the F out of this movie. Child actors tend to annoy the piss out of me, but if I'm being honest, dude did a great job. I felt sorry for the lad, That's really hard for me. I'm happy this movie existest, and I'm happy you're reviewing it. Rock on wit yo bad self.

[@slowlyworkingthingsout]

Bro please! Please do people under the stairs! That's a vibe from when I was like 8 or something!

[@Aussiesfightsharks]

Hey Andy you probably might know from analytics, but you are extremely popular here in Australia, even though we don’t exist we still love you ❤

[@Demolitiondude]

The second ed edd n eddy movie is out?

[@sacreddangermoose5260]

Andy has fantastic taste in stand up.

[@TheSilverVixen]

Perfect use of a Mitch Hedberg joke. I need to pay his grave a visit again.

[@ningboy3274]

Im usually pretty up on new genre movies coming out and Ive never even heard of thismovie before this video.

[@harryparsons2750]

I used to have a friend and this guy was so lazy he would never clean his house. There were cobwebs everywhere and I mean everywhere. All over the walls the floors the ceiling it was so nasty!

[@lopirobinson1991]

Just watched. I liked it. The first hour was definitely the best.

[@hernan3685]

I bet Evil has enough wanted posters to wallpaper a concert hall

[@MikeD974]

Just watched this the other night never heard anything about it but really liked it

[@thenightman9186]

Sarah reminded me of Lisa Trevor from the Resident Evil 1 remake. 👁

[@michaelthomas5433]

So since apparently no one went to see The Last Voyage of the Demeter either will there be a review of that? ?;- )

[@animeknight8958]

can you do Bad Biology or Terror Tract (2000)?

[@islaydragons1563]

I saw this recently on Amazon I think, I definitely recommend it for me it was a cool little thriller

[@TheEricJBotelho84]

1:09 Good Andy lil buddy, Leatherface hangs around with Evil Andy way too much, that’s why you can never get them two together. And great job on doing your chores lil buddy

[@bezoticallyyours83]

I honestly haven't heard of it.

[@LanceUppercut78]

I really enjoyed it. To me this is part of a new type of horror film like Barbarian, Malignant, and this. Over the top ridiculous, kind of stupid, fun horror. We need to come up with a name for it because this is my go to sub-genre for modern horror.

[@yummyteeth7021]

SPOILER DON’T READ IF HAVEN'T SEEN. My major problem with the movie is I can overlook plot holes as most only serve to set up just the single scene and not the entire movie (though it should). BUT I couldn’t over look the fact that the parents was aware of their existence the entire time. Feeding it, protecting against it; but refuse to believe their kid at all. I understand it’s trying to say family problems and that even when the parents are aware they still ignore it but they could’ve handled that better imo. Having the boy slightly more not there mentally wouldve made a bigger impact along without guessing the twist 15 minutes in. The only thing I could think of while watching was the Simpsons treehouse of horror, evil twin episode with a Barton Hugo.

[@davidjones6470]

HOWDY ANDYS, LETS ROCK 🤘🤘

[@tenebrousoul9368]

Why do I get the feeling that Evil was driving OJ's Bronco?

[@janleslielvaas3211]

Good review, now i know what to avoid.

[@jeffdemas9521]

Simpsons did it with Treehouse of Horror. Hugo, Bart's evil twin in the walls.

[@smacktalkerskywalker7098]

You remind me of Triple H ah. You ah after a lot of words ah. Never bothered me till now and I subscribed a long time ago ah. Just screwing around ah, i love this channel ah.

[@ΒύρωνΑπιδόπουλος]

A review about the last voyage of the Demeter please

[@preachercaine]

"Peter picked this?" No, Peter picked a peck of pickled pepper

[@damianstarks3338]

Perfect review as always

[@excellentestevan4488]

I'm surprised that Evan Goldberg or Seth Rogen promoted this movie, then I remembered that TMNT mutant mayhem was coming out.

[@nekramaniac]

I thought I was crazy after seeing a lot of praise for it but I was disappointed by the ending. I agree it's beautifully made it had good build up and then went flat. I would watch it again for Halloween for the spooky vibes.

[@dank2171]

My interpretation is that she is either girl possessed by a witch or a demon. She can somewhat possess the parents, and she killed the other girl and parents knew. They didn't want to kill their daughter. I kind of like how they left it up to interpretation and really enjoyed it. I would have like more scenes like the clip you showed of the mom but found the athomosphere and sister creepy enough.

[@NickNapoli]

The atmosphere is pretty cool but it’s to bad the movie suffers in the plot.
