YOU'RE KILLING ME (2023) - This is why I Don't Trust Critics

[@jwibbly]

This movie sounds like it would be even funnier if the 3 killers didn't actually do anything and they just really wanted their buddy's phone back and the true killer ends up being the protaganist because she just starts murdering these people based on a misunderstanding of a video on the phone

“i have to get that phone so they don’t find out i killed a girl” meanwhile both his friends dying bodies will be found in his house 💀 amazing plot

[@blueismylove3128]

Tbh, he could just say she went crazy and attacked him and he couldn't call for help because she had his phone. Smash everyone else's phone including your own. Find a way to get the phone back from her, kill her, delete the video then put on your best acting skills and call for help saying, "this girl, she went crazy and killed my friends. My friend had an emergency so I shut my house party down, but she stayed and hid till everyone else was gone and got the jump on us. She.....she wanted me to tell my dad to write her a recommendation and......when I said no she killed [whoever that girl is]. (Make sure you kill the best friend too there is no guarantee she won't talk) Her friend knew this had gone too far after that and tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen and she killed her. (If the best friend isn't dead, you're going to have to bargain with her and convince her to stay silent). Anyway there's more to this, but the point is he definitely could finesse the situation. Remember the people alive are the ones that tell the story. Dead people talk, but you can make them say whatever you want them to.

Just an initial thought, they could've solved the phone issue easily. She could have left the party, taken it home, felt safe making a good decision, then the goon platoon could've use Find My Phone and showed up at her house knowing the phone was there. It would have given the main character intelligence, and added suspense that we thought she was safe, but suddenly she's not. Lazy writing.

Maybe they didn't have anywhere other than the house to film in, but were too stupid to invent intelligent ways to keep everyone there.

[@lainiwakura666]

Well her friend was still passed out drunk and the guys were dangerous, she couldnt really leave her behind. Im not defending the movie entirely but that part kinda made sense.

[@bibbobella]

Couldn't they just have shortened the video that had been filmed by a whole lot? Or not even give her a chance to properly watch it beforehand? Like, have her be creeped out and disgusted by the pictures he had taken for a couple of seconds. Ignore it for a bit since her friend made a sound and she needed to go find her something to puke into or whatever and then have her scroll and see a small clip of the video before the movie, well, move on. Have the suspense be her uncertainty of what that video could mean before those guys start going bananas making her realize this video might have proof of what happened to the missing girl. That would make her seem decently smart as she puts two and two together realizing that the video probably shows something they REALLY do not what out, make her proactive in helping her friend and show a kind and helpful side (She need that as all we had seen of her so far was her literally trying to use a rich kid to get into a college...making her clearly annoying and selfish, so giving her a few scenes that showed a caring side like helping her friend would REALLY help make up for it.) AND give the goons time to figure out that the phone is missing and react to it without it being forced.

[@FflawedMetalhead]

You know there's going to be a lot of dumb character decisions in horror movies, but it's when you can no longer suspend your disbelief that you know you have a comedy winner on your hands. The *entire* movie hinges on the stupid phone, which could've been tucked away anywhere, and the main girl could've gone straight to the police.

also could have used the phone itself to call the police, as soon as she saw the video start and length of it

Fun fact, most regions have building codes that require bathroom electrical outlets be GFCI protected. If you drop a hairdryer into a sink that is full of water, a GFCI electrical outlet will immediately stop electricity from being supplied to the hairdryer. Of course, don't try this at home, but most likely scenario of this scene 24:41 would have resulted in the hairdryer turning off and basically nothing happening.

Rather than her running back into the bathroom, a sprint to the police department with him trying to murder her would have been so entertaining.

Electricity fun fact: There's no way that a house like that doesn't have ground fault current interrupters (GFCI) of some kind, at the very least in the bathrooms (it turns out you can see one on the plug in a shot or two).

And the fact that she was just threatening him, it's not like she actually did it, means it would have been a really funny moment if she had thrown the hairdryer in and nothing happened. I mean she didn't kill him with it anyway so it's not like it would effect the plot

If we *reeally* wanna give credit to the movie, it's possible that the family paid to have the house built and ignored some building codes. I've seen it pretty often actually.

One of my favorite things about your videos is that you explain the plot of the movies you watch so well. Sometimes commentary channels will solely focus on what they found funny which can be great; but then I lose track of what’s happening and can’t really follow the plot of the film they are goofing on. But you are always so clear and concise while also making the video entertaining. Great video Elvis!

Okay so I know that when you’re in a fight or flight, you don’t always make good decisions. It always feels easier to hide when in an unfamiliar environment, because it’s more common to be overlooked than to survive being cornered. HOWEVER, This isn’t dumb in the realm of possibility. A movie that does this type of concept but better in my opinion is “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies”. They’re all stupid still, but within the realm of “we’re stupid 20 something year olds”. These guys remind me of writers that come up with the ending first and goes “how the hell do we get here”, and can’t find a plausible reason. Then instead of changing the ending, they force bad choices to get there. Although one or two bad decisions are okay, it gets to the point where the entire thing feels like “I’m not changing the finale, these people are doing what I want for that to exist, instead of making the characters believable or interesting”.

[@KYRUOLIO]

thinking about it this way, it's like they wanted a similar ending to Get Out but couldn't figure out a good plot line to justify the protagonist going on a killing spree 😂

[@iamcitizen38]

Another movie that does this concept way better is Green Room (2015). The characters (both the good guys and bad guys) make stupid decisions because they are in a high-stress situation, but at least the individual decisions track with the situation, rather than come out of nowhere.

[@Atelierwanwan]

I bet the writer just really wanted that "You're killing me" death scene and the entire movie was made to get that.

[@realswobby]

This is what they teach writers, to think about the ending first. But I guess they forget that the whole journey has to be believable.

[@eirinym]

Oh god... it's the exact reason so many plots are so bad, people don't communicate or take obvious actions. They deliberately do the stupidest things or the only thing that would make the situation possible precisely because the writer can't think of any other way for it to happen, and that's because they're terribly uncreative.

[@realswobby]

This is what happens when nowadays literally everyone can be a creator with just a bit of money and no bits of skills

there's an issue that Rotten Tomatoes has where sometimes it'll look like a movie is highly rated, when it really just doesn't have a lot of rotten reviews. They're either "fresh" or "rotten" and nothing in between. The 'positive' reviews on this by critics, on RT, are like "it's predictable but good performances" or like "well this thing was bad but this thing was good" and no praise seems particularly strong. For whatever reason, they like something about it and are willing to write a middling review, write off some of the bad stuff, but the 86% fresh rating is deceptive.

Why didn't Eden ran away when Onision kicked everybody out of his house? Why didn't Onision took Kendra to the hospital ans tried to get the phone back the next day? Because the filmakers didn't have the permits to shoot a chase scene throught the woods, or in the highway, or Eden's neighborhood, or anywhere else besides the mansion and its lawn... that's my theory

[@realswobby]

Maybe true, but I think the script comes first and it was just written like this so they didn't even try to get access to more locations bc the script was focused on one location anyway. They wanted so badly to have this "everything goes crazy in one location" horror trope. Probably they asked the writer/s to write the story in this way, bc it would be cheaper to execute. A lazy production from start to finish.

No wonder she needs mr senator to get into that school; she sure wouldn't make it on her own with a brain like that 😂Could probably make it as a Hollywood writer tho

[@usernameinvalid8]

Nah she's over qualified to be a Hollywood writer

[@TheCommanderTaco]

I could give a few arguments about why some characters made such dumb decisions, though the movie does seem to kinda debunk one of them. 1. Zarza isnt stumbiling drunk because the shock of the situation scared her out of her stupor. She didnt notice the barricaded door because she was too focused on throwing up. She thought Gooch locked himself out so him going through extremes for the window didnt make her think anything. 2. Protagonist ran for the ladder because she felt more safe being by her friend / strength in numbers. Though i do agree with Elvis 99.9% of people would see trying to climb the ladder as a big hazard in such a situation.

[@kingtiger3390]

I would argue that taking the gamble on being on the roof before the guy gets to the ladder seems better than trying to simply outrun him on flat ground. Also the higher she is on the ladder the harder it would be for him to tip it over. Seems like a decision that definitely more than 0.01% of people could make. Aside from just running onto the street and screaming on top of your lungs, which probably would be a better gamble.

[@CertifiedNEETClassic]

Eden *REALLY* wanted to kill someone with a toaster bath. Once she got that out of her system, she didn't care about shooting the actual villain. 😌

[@digifreak90]

Honestly, if I found a video like that on someone's phone. The first thing I'd do is send it to my phone so that way, I can give the phone back without letting the people know that I know. Then I'd leave the party (taking my drunk friend with me) and immediately go to the police and show them the video.

Another excellent video from you. Your style of critique is so well-done and is funny to the point where I feel like you kind of transmit the so-bad-it's-good nature of the movie (not your video) through the critique itself.

[@M_reapr]

Why are we still getting writers who refuse to make realistic and believable characters and motivations. It's the first thing you learn in a writing class that characters who make unrealistic and bad choices are immediately unlikable unless they want everyone to hate the characters. It might be called your killing me because I keep telling myself that after every decision is made.

[@ohohothisrocks]

This is what happens when a pantser writes a script. The premise is quite unique, but I don't think they thought this one through

The longest you can record for TikTok is ten minutes. As for what I'd do - I'd leave the party but in the meantime I'd start uploading the video to platforms like KZbin so even if he gets his phone back and deletes it it's still uploaded somewhere for the cops to see.

Dude is clearly a psychopath, why would he care more about his friend dying than incriminating evidence that he committed a murder?

[@meen0ru]

The “stuck in the room” section was fuckin KILLING me (did not use this phrase ironically, I was legitimately dying). WHAT WAS SHE DOING?! I almost skipped forward cos I was so frustrated with this character’s decisions. Edit: I skipped forward cos I couldn’t stand it. Omg. This was terrible.

[@oldensad5541]

About Gooch recoding incriminating video, and leaving it on a unlokced phone... This happens ALL the time. Like 80% of this type of crimes was solved due to evidence like this. This guy is a friend of influential person and probably feels invincible and untouchable. So, yeah, this is surprisingly realistic part of this movie.

[@asterionarts7490]

This is probably the dumbest excuse to get rid of phones in a horror movie I've ever seen. EDIT: Yes, it might be reasonable that the kid of the congressman demands it. But why would you ever comply? (Especially if it's Onision...)

[@Condorian_]

I thought it was pretty convincing. If one's dad was a public figure such as a politician, one wouldn't want people possibly recording some inappropriate stuff at his home and with his kid possibly appearing too, it could hurt his image, especially since it's a party with alcohol involved.

[@peytonmcclain6668]

My phone cameras all seem to have a "pause" button when I start recording a video, I can pause the recording and then restart it again and it creates an automatic time cut in what is still one full video file. I do this for my cooking videos a lot so I don't have one big long video or a bunch of little videos to edit later. I'll get some footage, pause recording to stir or prep some other ingredients, place everything and unpause the recording to record the next part, etc.
