How do you know about them then? Genuine question

[@Naptosis]

@hwat The UK's so safe - temperate weather, no faultlines, surrounded by water, a powerful military with powerful friends, no volcanoes nor many dangerous animals except for the haggis - so the Emergency Broadcast System is generally used nowadays for heavy flooding or a hurricane. I've never seen it tested (like sending / receiving a TEST message), but it is definitely used for weather warnings. They'll send a text directly to your phone if they think you're in danger.

Even though it's pretty clearly about the people who really liked a certain guy who didn't make it into art school. (The two experiments the family and street are named after were literally done to examine the psyche of those people.) Or they think it's about media in general and ignore that smartphones and the internet are literally shown as disruptive to the creature's plan. The smartphone is the only way anyone manages to get counterevidence to the misinformation, and the creature has to shut off the internet so people can't compare notes online. There's also a strong theme in there about communication between people breaking down and older generations doing wrong by younger ones that I don't see acknowledged much... It's strange how authors can be so in your face with their stories and still not seen.

If you want a science explaination, check out the paperclip maximizer idea. A.I. is ordered to do something. Goes about doing it, by, say, converting the entire universe into paperclips.

Good point, let us now disagree with everything the authority figures say, you know, like doctors.

Because they have authority over us with their doctor knowledge and medical degrees, pheweey to that shit, I have Facebook and validate my beliefs through fringe "doctors" that agree with me. Because honestly, I'm not changing my mind when I do research, I'm just going to look for shit until I find stuff that agrees with me and say that I was right all along while saying everything that disagreed was totally lies and bullshit to peddle health advice. I know this is a "straw man" because I said it in a joking way, but it's entirely true. People don't give a shit about changing their minds when they say they're doing "research". What they really mean is just trawling through Facebook until they find someone agreeing with them and dismissing the vast majority of others saying "no you dipshit, you're fucking wrong, stop drinking bleach for the love of god."

[@Alliebei]

Because of how realistic it is

@@Alliebei explain to me what was realistic about the tv demon or the people all using dirty needless listening to random broadcasts that made no sense they were even getting so conveniently. man I do hope you are using sarcasm man.

17:08 the UK's electrical-cord plugs are actually so solidly over-built, they can easily crack a human head open; they split bricks with little effort. They're like improvised meteor-hammers, so it's not an entirely ridiculous thought to use it as a weapon ('cordless' kettle plugs, often even have a nifty handle on them). He should have disconnected it from the lamp however, that was idiotic.

[@brunoobeear]

Just of note, the interior doors in most uk homes are solid wood. or have a cut out of glass in the two top squares. You are definitely not going through it without a tool or being built like a tank.

[@jackofastora8962]

Honestly, the only way to “win” seems to be just not listening. Worst thing that happens? You die, best case it literally can’t do anything but try and make you listen. Way it seems, whatever the creature is it gains power when people listen to its orders, as if you aren’t gullible you can easily circumvent almost everything it does

[@michaeldavid6832]

It's completely implausible that an illegitimate set of instructions would be blindly obeyed by credulous masses up to the point where they inject themselves with a mystery substance that they're assured is "for their own good". What's more, that some people would take advantage of the situation to assume authority they should never possess in order to force others into compliance to gratify their own egos. Completely implausible. Or maybe the movie was an allegory for blindly obeying authorities who demand compliance despite having never proven to genuinely care for anyone.

That wasn't there before they entered the house though.

[@error4v0r47]

I mean, the movie had a great set-up. Trapped in a house, paranoia style. Some of the deaths could have a good reason too. But the movie killed off all its characters, when instead they could’ve just stopped the monster at the champagne baseball match. Then had the plot put Angie and Nick as surrogate parents. Would have been way better than whatever the hell this ending was.

It's always these crappy Families that die on Christmas huh?! Anyway I'm ready for this

[@Agent-57]

The only way for Nick and Annji to beat this movie is to spend a night is luxurious hotel getting on Santa's naughty list rather than ruin the night by celebrating Christmas with a Dysfunctional family of psychopaths like that. Even if there was no alien shit going on in the house, I fail to imagine any possibility of spending a good time with those people.

When I watched this movie years ago, I never understood why the son and his wife didn't just grab the needle and immediately waste it all over the floor. Can't be forced to take it if theres nothing to take.

Don't understand. You can't smash the camera wire wall alien poltergeist with an axe, but you can pick individual strands with a coat hanger? Well, I suppose logic, and writing ability for that matter, went out the window with wire wall alien poltergeist.
