How to Beat the BIG MAMA in BARBARIAN

[@mantis_toboggan_md]

The best part of the entire film, by far, is when Justin Long discovers the creepy basement tunnels and immediately tries to figure out how he can make money off it. Absolutely hilarious.

Overthinking at its best

[@MaestroAlvis]

No shit but that kind of tactical mindset is real. I was staying at guys house, I didn't trust him to not steal my shit or worse. I turned in early, barred the door, and made sure I could bail out of a window at a moments notice. I bolted the next day and felt like an asshole (because he ended up being harmless) but the fact is that when you're staying with a stranger they have so many options to hurt you in such unexpected ways. Even monor things can have weird compounding consequences. Like, imagine if that guy had gotten accidentally spilled a wine on her socks. "It's fine, nobody will care about discolored socks" except, you'll know, and that can throw off your game... just enough to make a sharp comment here or there.

[@anumrose3762]

The amount of red flags and she managed to ignore them all. Nerd explains commentary is killing me

[@TarkusLives]

The writer/director of this movie actually read a book about red flags women see and have to deal with and then wrote the beginning of this movie trying to incorporate every single one of them into a story, but felt it was too predictable so then he expanded and wrote the rest of the movie. It's why the film starts that way.

[@Tony_Pesta]

@@TarkusLives ^ Yep, it's kinda weird how many people are missing the point that Keith was supposed to be a red herring. It's not a flaw of the movie, it's a strength

[@RS-fy9hb]

@@Tony_Pesta Well, it's extremely obvious to be 1 of two things. He's either the obvious killer, or a red herring, because there's like a dozen different red flags that she ignores. I don't think people think of it as a flaw, it's obviously a plot device.

[@Tony_Pesta]

@@RS-fy9hb I don't think she ignores any of the red flags, she calculates them and chooses to trust Keith. He is 100% a red herring, he's supposed to make you feel uncertain. But people in this comment section clearly think it's a flaw lol -- which is fine, it's their opinion. I just think they missed the point

[@ne0n1nja247]

​@@Tony_Pesta nah that the worst gamble ever. That's how you end up in someone's basement because you chose to trust. The second I see someone open that door saying we double booked I'm gone. Let's make survival a 100% rather than trusting he's just every red flag that won't get me killed. Don't give em a chance. At all. Ever. Hell even bringing her bags up to the door was dumb. And leaving them there was even worse. Her behavior screamed future death by random serial killer

I really don't get this take, Tess was a very smart and capable main character. I love Nerd Explains but he glosses over a BUNCH of things that explain why Tess walked into the house and warmed up to Keith. There are plenty of red flags but there's also a healthy amount of green flags Also, let's not ignore the fact that Keith literally was just an awkard guy and not a serial killer at all. Tess and Keith had obvious chemistry, it's not at all surprising that she would have felt comfortable after their conversation and while it's a stretch for her to go into the basement, her defining character trait is that she "always goes back / doesn't know when to leave"

[@youtube-kit9450]

This first guy Keith gave off so many fucking red flags that he's a serial killer I'm in complete belief that the original script didn't have the Mama thing in it and it was supposed to be a thriller about whether that guy is bad or not, but then the script writer noticed he made it impossible to make the audience believe he's not a murderer that he threw in the 7 foot tall behemoth of a woman to make people forget how poorly set up that was. EDIT: The new scariest thing about this movie how many people apparently don't know how many red flags his behaviour should've given off if you weren't an omniscient viewer that knew he was supposed to be a nice person and just a misdirect. EDITEDIT: Ok, Imma write another comment considering people seem to think that what I presented as an initial script was the actual initial script. It isn't. Him being a fucking creep giving off 50 red flags per minute was completely intended. From other comments and wikipedia and interviews, Keith giving off so many horrific red flags was actually completely intended because apparently his entire behaviour was based on a book on red flags women should watch out for in men the writer read. So yeah, him giving off red flags galore and being a super creep is completely intended, so if you either don't see the red flags or try excusing the red flags, you're basically exactly the problem the book and the screenplay tried to address, lol.

[@FaceFamous]

I read what the director was going for and it was the mis direct and the Mother was the killer. Then in congress the owner which really threw it all off to think maybe the owner knew about it. The director was explaining how he wanted to do the movie. Im like... that was clever

Who's the old man in the basement? The troll wife's father? Why was the troll creature trying to care for a child? What's the backstory/reasoning on this? Does it just see the girl as her child? If so; Why did she try to bottle feed both the girl and the guy, and (later) was fine risking its life to save the girl, but be fine with killing the guy? Soo many questions to this movie..

[@virgoqt13]

This is so hard to believe anyone would be dumb enough to stay in the same airbnb as a stranger in an unknown place

[@OwlskiTV]

I personally think a suspense thriller where the girl books an Airbnb only to find a (seemingly) cordial guest ending up staying, making the audience question if everything is as it seems with him would be a fun watch. Things start off innocently enough (even perhaps somewhat flirty), but slowly devolving into those red flags starting to show, with (something) forcing them to have to live in the same house/unable to leave. Eventually, the girl finds the secret doorway in the basement, leading to that sketchy cam room, with the guy turning out to actually be the deranged/psychotic owner of the house. I think Bill Skarsgard would do a wonderful job at starring as that friendly and awkward (but harmless) guy, and slowly shift into that deranged serial killer kinda vibe.

I honestly prefer you over Cinema Summary. I feel you are more in touch with your fans and less about big sponsorships. Oddly enough I also rewatch videos to fall asleep to.

[@foxsstrokes8177]

Funny I prefer cinema summary

[@FaceFamous]

I like them both. Just appreciate them both. They have their own style. Nerd has the sarcasm and how to use certain weapons etc and use common sense. Cinema Summary (how to beat) Is more scientific and using the surroundings to the advantage. Plus common sense. But love them both

[@queerlibtardhippie9357]

I prefer binge xpress, then this guy, then the other guy. binge being the top because he's realistic about the moment lol. this dude is getting to be more like that too though

[@purplepuddlesuwu]

I appreciate a guy who calls another guy a "Tall drink of water". Respect that

You should Wolf Creek next, unsettling movie, but beatable and not so linear a story I think you could have fun with it

[@JLoc]

Tess deserved everything that happened to her. I believe that was the point, but continuously going through this situation was stupid, especially for people she didn’t know. The whole police situation almost took me out the movie. That being said…. This was probably the most suspenseful / tension filled movie I’ve seen in a while. I was genuinely intrigued where her stupid decisions would get her next in that dark place.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Honestly, it's the one thing about the movie absolutely didn't understand. Why were the 3 protagonists of the movie 1. A person so insanely stupid to ignore literally every single red flag in existence + has zero sense of self preservation 2. A person so comically socially inept that he apparently wasn't a serial killer even though literally everything he did screamed serial killer 3. Just a human garbage pile in every possible way. Like... was I supposed to root for the 7 foot tall mutant crazy woman?

[@MrStarLicker]

When people are so stupid that you want to see the creature win.

[@Albinojackrussel]

The scene with the police honestly seems very realistic.

[@JLoc]

@@Albinojackrussel lmao no it didn’t at all? Some lady said she was kidnapped and literally they couldn’t care…. She goes to a house with a broken window and they do nothing but accuse her of breaking it, but they never even seen her do it. It was highly unrealistic. No cop should just shoo you off and they visibility see you’re under duress

[@KitKat-pz9hp]

The police scene is realistic tbh

[@michaelhilbert6448]

She could have also worked on her delivery to the cops. instead of "oh theres a crazed giant underground", maybe start with "someone held me captive for a week in a bunker"

Ah yes, IHOP. The best place to survive a horror film since nothing ever goes wrong at IHOP.

Nope I guess

[@kingol4801]

Japanese horror. Once the curse is applied (walked into the wrong house, played a weird tapas, whatever), it is an inevitable doom. No amount of smart decisions will save you.

[@sethbishop6890]

I really like Skarsgard I hated to see him die

In her defense, IT character aside, Bob Skarsgard is pretty freaking gorgeous. Now, that being said you're completely right lol

Saw this at the theater and I can say the first 15mins had me I never thought this movie would end up the way it did😂😂😂

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

This man made my damn day binge watching these videos all day. I don't feel good but he freaking had me cracking up at this one, especially? I didn't kno so many different names could be thought up to describe Andre The Giant's Nana? Although, Tess, Pennywise, and Justin Long's weird looking "Plays the role of an A-hole too well" a**, are all dumb, the smartest thing about this movie was to make us think Penny was the killer so much, I still remember being jump-scared when Grandma Orc came popping out of nowhere?

I've been watching a bunch of your vids and your style in this one is my favorite. I know it's similar to the others, but the commentary is funnier, more sarcastic, more critical.

[@FaceFamous]

LOVE BOTH CHANNELS!!!! (Nerd Explains and How to Beat) And just watched How to Beat video on this yesterday.. IM CONVINCED. THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER.. TO MANY SIMILARITIES. 1) SAME UP LOAD SCHEDULE.. AND WHEN ONE MOVES THE OTHER MOVES DAMN NEAR SAME DAY 2) SAME THUMBNAILS 3) BOTH HOW TO BEAT 4) DIFFERENT STYLES of movie genre but used to both do the same movies BUT SIMILAR SITUATIONS SPOKEN ABOUT in the same videos NOW 5) BOTH FUNNY AS HELL. 😁

@@virtueofabsolution7641 I like them both. Nerd Explains vastly superior.. especially his new style of videos. Too damn funny 😁

[@krizzygirl206]

See, I would have survived by the point of needing toilet paper. I would have probably already begun going before checking the roll's status. Seeing it was out, I'd be in a pickle. Air dry, or use underpants (gross, yes, but then I can just stuff them in the garbage or a ziplock baggie, then change into another pair from my bag.) Then I'm on my way and never have to endure the rest of this movie!

[@Snekelord12]

She definitely deserved whatever came her way for ignoring all those initial red flags lol And then returning there after surviving the night is CRAZY 🤣

[@TeddyD4]

They are both so stupid. I can’t believe Tess stayed in that house with a stranger and I can’t believe Keith went down in the basement (and that Tess followed after him!)

[@human_hope]

This is why I think this movie was crap. Because they were so stupid it was infuriating. Lack of effort on the part of directors to not come up with smart moves.

[@darthvader7129]

I just want to say how much I loved how they used the foreground/background and takes.
