Ready or Not is a must!

[@FreezeTheWarning]

Awesome choice! It Follows has a very simple (and even silly!) premise, but somehow it works. At least it keeps you tense throughout the entire movie. Evil Dead 2013 is fantastic, one of the best remakes of all time. The sequel, Evil Dead Rises, is okay. I recommend you the movie When Evil Lurks. Many people believe it was the best horror film of 2023, a bit overlooked among reactors, probably because it's in Spanish. But it's good, I promise.

[@Debora-ge9nb]

yesss thank you

[@augustrosepriv892.]

Ready or Not... 😁

[@lilyr875]

Men in Tights?! I so look forward to what you all think of that, it's a personal fav of mine and if ye like it maybe check out Young Frankenstein, which I consider the best of the Mel Brooks filmography. If ye get the chance of course, I imagine that the recs list is so impossibly long already... but some random childhood favs of mine that came to mind to recommend would be Tank Girl, The Witches Of Eastwick, The Lost Boys, The Mummy and also Beetlejuice (the trailer for the sequel just dropped and it has Wednesday Addams aka Jenny Ortega in it)

[@EchanteDante]

The reason it is popular is because it is actually an original horror movie and it came out during a time when every horror movie was a demonic, slasher, gore fest, or ghost film.

[@Bakemer94]

This. Every time someone would ask me why I liked it so much, I would tell them I don't even like horror, but I loved this movie. Its so refreshing in the genre.

[@valentinek.t3327]

That’s why I liked oculus. Original

[@SyntheticDivine]

45:22 What you're missing here is that the reason the movie gave you the shot of Greg having lunch with those other three girls is that the implication is that he passed it on to one of them, which is why it took so long in getting back around to him.

[@sassypantsg.6617]

yessssssssssssssss!

[@kcw1879]

They miss all sorts of things in all sorts of movies, because they NEVER STOP TALKING.

13:49 & 34:37 it followed Jeff naked as his mother when he passed it to Jay; it murdered Greg as his mother; and Jay saw it in the pool as her father 💀💀💀💀 "sometimes i think it looks like people you love just to hurt you"

[@Arcannabis]

Yo this movie is so good, I love how production keeps us guessing what year it is, between old and new cars, one house looking modern inside and another looking like it’s out of the 80s. Or the weird future tech like her compact palm laptop thing. Also I love the nod to Nightmare on elm street with the clueless adults providing no help to the kids. Def my top 10 horror

[@rumham7466]

Yea it was super effective! So smart. I felt so uneasy watching this movie.

[@Hailtothegun]

The movie's soundtrack is as good as everything else. It's literally a perfect fit.

[@JaimeCard]

Blake's rage at the jumpscare with the yelling and the "I was CHILLING" 😂 those are my favourite. Love a nice false sense of security that leads into a really unexpected jump 👌

[@patmcconnell9956]

I like to think that “It” occasionally consciously chooses to take the form of its previous victims, just as a second layer of cruelty and disrespect. But it taking the form of one’s loved ones is also fucked up cause not only does it do so so that it could traumatize/haunt you further, but so it can be disguised and get closer to killing you. It is such an interesting concept for a horror genre.

[@masteronionnorth2341]

The director explained in an interview that the reason the kids made stupid mistakes is because they're kids and they didn't know what they were doing. The others didn't go near the edge of the pool because since they can't see It, then only Jay could check to see if it was still in the water. As for the morally questionable decisions in the film, that's the point. Hough and Jay had to make horrible decisions and sacrifice others to save themselves.

[@EchanteDante]

This came out before the whole “snail follows you and will kill you” post.

[@rickbotic6063]

Its interesting. The movie premiered in the US in early 2015. On Oct 1, 2014 Roosterteeth podcast aired episode 166 where Gavin Free brings up the snail assassin scenario, heres an animated short of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnqxipuCqcaUrsUsi=JUgz0RzLbOEUY7B1 The film debuted in France at Cannes film fest in May 2014. Gavin could have seen/heard of the film or it could be a giant coincidence.

[@EnjoyRomy]

51:25 She didn't do it with the guys on the boat. She just told Paul that she doesn't want to pass it to him and that she shouldn't have passed it to Greg. Doing it with multiple people in a row wouldn't "infect" all, but only the first one, who would then have to pass it on, and if he died the thing would go back to her.

[@excalibur2024guy]

I think it's time for you guys to watch THE MIST (2007).

[@valentinek.t3327]

They watch oculus yet? At least it’s original

[@misterrodrigo1980]

It follows, The Babadook and Oculus were at the time the three films responsible for the popularization of what eventually came to be called "elevated horror". I think you should take a look at "Oculus", Mike Flannigan's debut movie. Really good film.

[@yulianstarr]

Oculus is a great movie.

[@adgato75]

I actually yelled "No!" at the TV screen at the end of "Oculus"

[@valentinek.t3327]

Yes oculus. Is baradock original too like the other 2

[@emmetstone1660]

The scores in this movie are BANGIN'. I remembered seeing this movie in theaters when it came out and wow, it pulled me right in. And also, I'm supposed to believe that that man is 21? Gurl, plz!

[@paulinekeown2472]

I actually saw this film in theaters more than once, I loved it so much. The soundtrack by Disasterpeace is one of my favorites of all time.

[@NapolianDynamite-lr4hg]

Love you guys, hope Corey’s situation is going well, fun fact the director of the film David Robert Mitchell didn’t set a time period for the film in production which is why the film feels nostalgic and modern at the same time. I hope you guys watch THE BABADOOK soon, you guys should also watch CANDY MAN and start the Jordan peele trilogy GET OUT is a must no excuses haha.

[@fawng8017]

The Babadook definitely gets my vote too

[@EchanteDante]

Corey’s situation? I haven’t been keeping up with KZbin much lately

[@annaparsons4788]

Yeah... "Babadook" is an amazing psychological horror flick, very worthy...same goes for Peeles "Get Out" & "NOPE" is a different trip entirely (lofl)...& w/no disrespect to the director, I thought "Candyman" was awful, since Barkers original is so damn good.

[@rumham7466]

This movie on paper sounds mundane. But the execution of it is so eerie. And the director said he did certain super subtle things that would affect the viewer subconsciously and make them feel uncomfortable but not being able to figure out why. Like how you guys were tying to place the year/timeline. One house had furniture and things from past decades, while the neighbors house has modern kitchen appliances. In a scene it’ll look like one season, then the next scene will seem a different one. And then there’s the shell phone that doesn’t even exist in reality. Pretty darn smart of him because this movie left me feeling uneasy.

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

The movie plays out like a bad dream or nightmare. The rules are vague, the time period doesn't make sense, the characters seem trapped... it's just like nightmares I've had.

[@jacobholt3753]

Disasterpeace killed it with the score.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

He's freaking awesome! He gave me permission to use the songs from this film for my live streams XD

My first thought here was: “who tf is Matthew.!?” He hasn’t been in any of the Haunting of Hill House or Scream videos, which are what brought me to this channel. Lol. Nice to meet you, Matthew.

I had the hardest time actually getting into this movie myself, but I have really enjoyed watching reactions to it. It's an interesting one. Looking forward to watching this one, as per!

[@philipreece4648]

If you haven't seen it - Watch Drag Me To Hell (2009) by Sam Raimi with Alison Lohman and Justin Long

[@wildbelles]

Blake might like this one since it’s kinda a comedy 😅

[@paulc6060]

The reason for the old movies, and the tv antennae , and the shell kindle, and the old cars is to make the movie appear timeless. There's no setting in time for this stories

[@angelavalentino5146]

This movie did a good job in bringing “dark, creepy, uncomfortable” feelings to the audience. Things like that tend to linger in people’s minds. (Anyone can get used to jump scares.) A movie you might enjoy is 2003 “Darkness Falls”, involves tooth fairy legend. (Has a Buffy actor if you can spot them.) Really enjoyed seeing you guys trying to get a strategy, and work through the problem for the protagonist. It would be interesting to see what you all can come up with for the following: “Frailty”, “Fallen”, “Identity”, “1408”, “Two Days in the Valley”, “Wild Things”, “Fatal Attraction”, “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”, and”The Arrival” from 1196 starring Charlie Sheen. (I don’t think any of these will be anywhere near as dark or uncomfortable as “It Follows”, so don’t worry). -BTW, if your girl is still too insecure to fart in front of you, she’s probably not entirely secure with the permanence of the relationship. -😊

[@brittybabyy5361]

“I miss scream” made my heart full. Now I miss scream 😭❤️

[@purcascade]

I was so tense watching this movie that I had muscle cramps leaving the theater. 😂

[@CamillaDrakenborg]

I interpreted it as Igli, the different ones we saw was victims but as the guy that gave it to her said, it can take the form of anyone, even those you know, which I think is a direct correlation to those subjected to s abuse, r*pe etc, often its done by someone they know...

[@judson9223]

Loved it! Raggedy Pack DBD references the movie, feat. Blake bullying Igli and Matthew bullying Blake.

Love the dreamcore vibe of this movie!

[@user-vv6eg1qk3l]

It is indicated in that one scene of Greg talking with other girls, that he probably slept with one of them. So this ist why he was left alone for 2 days. Because IT got to those girls first.

[@GenetMJF]

Oooh I never realized. Damn that's dark

[@drezzoisdead]

let’s go! i hope you guys take time needed with coreys current situation but it’s great to see an upload. this is a super fun movie

[@Letha-Mae]

Maika Monroe is one of my favorite actresses she is also in the new movie long legs!! They're scheduled to be a IT follows part 2. A few of her movies I suggest is The Guest, Significant other, God is a bullet.

[@ImpossibleCaseEdits]

That was a fun reaction! There are points where the incidental music sounds very similar to the scores composed during the 1980-1985 period of Classic Doctor Who.

[@lilyr875]

For some reason this reminds me of a modern indie Nightmare on Elm Street, atmospheric horror that fully commits to a concept. The score, the retro/modern vibe makes it so interesting and the cinematography and directing add to the eery-ness. The themes seem to be kind of open-ended and up to interpretation, kind of like just a glimpse into this specific world's lore. It's spooky and effective but kind of underplayed almost idk. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the sequel. Maybe going with Igli's theory the forms "it" can take are victims but not of the line of people passing it on but just victims in general. Which is such a potent added layer of this narrative if that's was the case. It's kind of funny to imagine she swam to those guys and they all kind of awkwardly declined, bc I think she never tells anyone and "it" still appears to her right after. That's what I'm choosing to believe happened with the boat scene anyway. You all mentioned solid plans to escape but imagine you're flying and then suddenly "it" spawns on the plane or something. Would be terrifying. Thanks for doing this reaction, just the best vibe honestly, really love how you all can react to anything and make it fun, no matter the genre or sub-genre. "this better be celebratory" and "she got cooties" quotes back to back was wild 😂

"2015, I think that was the year the Cubs won the World Series" Close, it was the year that Back to the Future Part 2 predicted the Cubs would win the World Series! lol This movie is in my top 3 horror movies of the 2010s with a great lead performance from Maika Monroe and the awesome Disasterpeace soundtrack.

[@RaggedyPack]

Sure don't!!!

[@neilaf7251]

This is a brilliantly done movie! You are not supposed to figure out the time period because no such time period exists. It was done that way to throw the viewer off balance. The whole movie is done so the viewer is always in a state of unease. At the beginning, Jay is swimming in one scene, and in the next scene, she's wearing a heavy coat, so you don't even know what time of year it is. The viewer never has any level of comfort with any aspect of the movie. So brilliant!!! Top-shelf horror!!!!

[@illgillbates9561]

Great movie, nice pick, I'm looking forward to watching this reaction! You guys are so awesome I love this channel!!!

[@mcoupe69]

The boat guys were implied not to happen as they made it ambiguous but it was kind of obvious she didn’t go through with it as right after she said she only passed it off once to Greg and didn’t want to do it again at that point

So fun hearing you guys theorize about "it" throughout the movie. Personally love it. I'm not sure how to feel about the way it kills you, though... There are also so many unanswered questions (I hope are NOT being answered in the sequel). Like IT is smart. It can climb buildings and everything. It could probably run, too, it just chooses not to.

[@GenetMJF]

honestly it walking slowly makes it more scary. It reminds me of one of Junji Ito's short story about a man in a zombie apocalypse, and his GF gets bit and he doesn't want to kill her. But she is SUPER SLOW. Like can't see the movement on naked eye and it took I think a day for it to move from other side of the room to other. One of my fav comics of his

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The movie was inspired by a recurring nightmare of the Writer/Director David Robert Mitchell. ‘IT’ took the form of Jay’s friend Yara at the beach, not her sister. The Writer/Director and lead actress are both returning for the upcoming sequel. Can you guys react to the 2014 thriller ‘The Guest’, it’s an amazing film which also has Maika Monroe as the female lead. It was her big breakout role right before ‘It Follows’. Maika’s new movie ‘Long Legs’ which also Stars Nicolas Cage has just opened and looks amazing.😊

[@silikon2]

I find this movie very mesmerizing. I love how they used Detroit and even worked in the ruins of Detroit to some degree. Though there's something about the zooms that looks weird to me. I strongly disagree that Paul actually slept with one of the streetwalkers and even more so doubt Jay did it with the boat guys. It's ambiguous and I doubt either of them had the heart to do it.

[@taniar2739]

[@Shawn-st2lx]

A few mistakes were made. When she was by the lake it didn't seem right that the creature would lift her hair up, the scene could've been done better with her friends trying to coax her into the lake to enjoy the water. As the girl gets up with a towel around her shoulders she could've thrown it back where the towel would catch on the creature revealing it's presence. I think it would just try and kill her rather than lift her hair up. The scene after when she drove into the field and knocked herself out, she then wakes up in a hospital. It's doubtful an ambulance would've gotten there and gotten her out quickly, the creature wouldn't even need 20 minutes to get to her from the lake. It's a decent movie, but that scene at the lake really bugged me.
