[@hurbywurby-q1h]

when you mention how this movie is making fun of slashers but made by people who love slashers, it reminds me of this one tumblr post that always rings true. "You can always tell when an author is trying to "deconstruct" something that they think is stupid or boring or otherwise beneath them because they're unwilling or unable to develop the necessary understanding of the source material to properly rip into it and the end result invariably fucking sucks. You need to love a genre in order to truly do it violence."

[@idrathergotohell5215]

I love that, that's so fun lmao

[@invaderhemp]

Y'all missed, or at least forgot to mention, when Johny walks around the house after setting off the car alarm, you can see that the kid who tries to shoot him is visible in the window looking at Johnny walking by, foreshadowing he would try to do something.

[@Jpl5253]

43:19 This music is indeed diegetic! In the instant Johnny passes the blade (it’s a wood planer that you would use to debark a log) Ehren lifts his hands to stop it and unplugs his cassette player headphones, so the music Ehren was listening to is now playing through the player’s built in speakers. The music does slow down and warp as the player runs out of battery. Bonus! As Johnny picks up Ehren’s body, he sees that his bright yellow shirt is a school sports shirt showing their mascot, the Rangers, thus reminding Johnny about the ranger station and giving him a motivation to then go there!

As someone who adores ASMR, the long stretches of Johnny just walking aimlessly was satisfying on the ears It was like taking a nature walk with your pal who just so happens to be a murderer.

[@FlashNeko417]

35:47 Historically, it actually was a combination of both: The stores can be run by independent vendors and the company "pays" for the supplies (hence the huge markups). And I put "pays" in quote marks because it was actually a loan that the employee was expected to pay back (with interest), thus causing a VICIOUS debt cycle. It's what the old song "16 Tons" is talking about with the line "I owe my soul to the company store." Also: I am glad I was not imagining this film had a darkly gruesome sense of humor. I'm not sure if the yoga or logging machine kill is the best. The former is more creative but the latter is more genuinely terrifying, especially considering the state of the victim throughout.

[@vilewretch]

I waited to watch this podcast until I was able to see the movie! It was so good! One thing I noticed while watching was in relation to Johnny being drawn to these sounds. When hiking or camping, a general rule is make plenty of noise. Animals avoid humans and events like serious bear attacks tend to occur when bears are accidentally snuck up on or surprised. Johnny inverts this rule, and by doing something that should be keeping these kids safe, they get themselves killed.

[@vilewretch]

To add to the “Johnny is an animal” messaging, when Johnny is scared at the end, he MAULS the body. Not his usual kill then move on. Where some rules differ from violent animal encounters, others remain the same

[@jonathanstmartin]

Hope Johnny makes it into next years Horror Royal Rumble

i thought it was pretty cool how when the tommy jarvis character pops up behind johnny and johnny instantly hits him in the head with a axe like he got scared because he has the mind of a child and is kinda similar to the story of him dying by being jump scared and falling off the fire tower which was why he was wailing on the guys so much after he killed him

[@AKAHeartless]

Real quick, on the johnny origin story, I was getting the impression that Johnny's spirit took over his father dead body and got revenge.

[@thomasffrench3639]

That’s a good theory. Honestly these theories remind me of the Friday the 13th fandom who debate if Jason didn’t drown or did drown and just came back to life. And I think that is totally intentional by the filmmaker who is likely a part of that fandom.

[@eujinxed1173]

@@thomasffrench3639I genuinely believe Jason survived the drowning n washed up on the shore

"She so could have rolled down that hill" LMAO, it was so manageable XD

This was such fun deconstruction of the slasher genre as a whole. I cannot wait to watch it again!!

[@camerondodge2070]

I saw Zoran describe it as 'Horror ASMR', and after having seen the film myself, it's a very apt description. It's almost weird in how soothing parts of this film can be. And then they crank it hard in the other direction, and all that slowness from earlier helps ratchet up the effect. Wonderful film. I don't know if I'd rewatch as much as something like The Dead Zone or House of Dracula, but I will definitely rewatch it at some point.

[@thexombie3225]

Listening to how excited James and Chelsea were the whole time talking about this episode was so awesome. I really loved the movie, and Chelsea talking about how much she laughed during the Yoga kill made me feel validated for also laughing during it. I can’t wait to see this movie again after all the things you brought up about. This episode was really fun to listen to.

[@GreayWorks]

Gave me “Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon” vibes but played straight

[@yaroslavkurgansky6205]

For anyone wondering: the tool that's used to kill the walkman guy is a drawknife (among other things used to debark logs). I really like how the movie uses lesser known forestry tools, axes and chainsaws are such a cliche nowadays. I imagine that's what it felt like to see a chainsaw used as a weapon in the 70s. When the killer started the log-splitter I thought it was a sawmill, that would've been absolutely grotesque (in a good way)

[@peachreadbull]

i had to drive 45 minutes to see it in theaters but wow it was worth it. so much that i actually want twice. i absolutely loved everything about this, the "hey wanna check out this cool spider" to get brodie (stoner lesbian) in the house had me fucking crying laughing both times

[@pusheenqueen519]

I saw this in a theater and I loved the cinematography, sound design, gore, and the nods to other horror movies. Some scenes did drag and felt a bit like padding. The last monologue scene seemed a bit "Oh we need to explain more to the audience" but it was acted well. Not to mention there were at least 3 times I literally exclaimed "Holy shit!" "What the actual fuck?!" in this very quiet theater. I laughed a lot and no one else in the audience gave much reactions. I had fun anyway.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Yeah I think it would have been fine if it was shorter. I like the concept of it and the ending “non-scare” was really effective. I was like 80% sure that he wouldn’t jump out at her, but the 20% chance he would kept me on the edge of my seat.

[@pusheenqueen519]

​@@thomasffrench3639 Like I understand the point is the walking scenes are meant to be "boring" but there were a couple in particular that really, really dragged on, particularly some still shots of just nature (which were admittedly very nice still).

After hearing this discussion, it's made me rephrase my own thoughts on the movie.

A lot of it is more explainable then you might realize. When he goes in the lake he isn't swimming the whole length, it's most likely a comp shot, as soon as he is fully submerged in the water they just cut to the next shot right there. His head is above water behind the pier when he emerges, he's merely waiting behind it. The rock one is even more rudimentary. If it wasn't CGI it could very easily be a comp shot with the a fake big rock masking his face with what they explode around it in a different shot. A more fun solution could be it's hollow inside the rock and it's filled with jelly and stuff and it's essentially a cream pie.

The slowed down music coming from Ehren's walkman, as the battery is dying is inventive AF. And yeah, it's because the battery is dying (walkman cassette players slow down when that happens).

I was excited for this movie but kinda worried it was gonna be another skinamarink (which I have mixed feelings about) but I was so amazed when I walked out of the theater. The beautiful ambiance, the bits of lore sprinkled in and of course the kills it was awesome. I wished I went to watch a second time.

I’m so happy that you two loved this movie too. I know a lot of people won’t agree or call me crazy, but for me, personally, this is in my top 3 favorite movies of the year. Most definitely dedicated to a niche audience. But I AM THAT NICHE AUDIENCE. Been waiting for a slasher like this for years and it delivered on all fronts. Didn’t get to see it in theaters because the closest location was hours away, but I had the privilege of watching this by myself in front of a massive 80 inch screen. I strapped myself in because I was so excited. Seriously love everything about this film and I cannot wait for the sequel. Fingers crossed to them releasing to more theaters. I truly think Terrifier 3 helped pave the way for more amazing movies to finally get their big screen experience.

I did watch it at home but I used headphones (glad I did). There were a few bits I laughed at (the completely stoic ranger kill and the axe to the guy's face near the end) and i wasn't sure if i was supposed to so I'm glad that other people did as well!

I also cannot get the "the black fly song" out of my head. I was an usher at my local theater when this movie came out and it is one of the only credit songs I can remember that I never got sick of hearing.

I literally paused this video to go watch it. Great movie!!

As someone who hunts a lot, those pink ribbons are just like markers for where you are
