[@maggieellis2303]

You are literally the FIRST person in a reaction video who said that Annie was trying to save Peter by killing him - in the womb and then when she was sleepwalking. Well done!!!

[@PopcornReactions]

thank you!

[@michelef3398]

I love the fact that no matter how weird, disturbing or ridiculous some of the movies us lot suggest, you always have a great time with it! And then we all have a good time Much love to you as always my dude. This

[@PopcornReactions]

crazy crazy movie OMG

[@PopcornReactions]

That's what I love about movies there's so many stories to be told it's impossible for me not to have a good time no matter what the situation is I'm just not a big fan of love movies 🤣😍🤣

[@GrisouIII]

Peter’s smiling reflection is what really got to me, despite all the brilliantly done horror! I thought about this movie for days afterwards trying to piece together all the clues and foreshadowing. Can’t wait for you to see Midsommar!!!

[@PopcornReactions]

Yeah that smile back freaked me out

[@duhduh14]

"what the fuck" seems about the most accurate phrase for this movie 😂😂

[@PopcornReactions]

lol!

[@NoStyleDutch]

Also I love the ending. A perfect crescendo to the build up. Really let’s us know how fucked up everything was in the background throughout. And confirms Annie’s brothers story about her mom trying to put people inside him.

[@77Creation]

“She’s two sheets out the laundry…” 😂

[@walkofnails2923]

I progressively laughed harder and harder every time you said “what the f+ck just happened?” 😂😂

[@PopcornReactions]

lol

[@tocraneandcrane]

Same lmaooo. "What the fuck just haAaAaAAppeEEEned?" is a mood

[@andrewdawson8684]

Disturbing stuff. When Charlie loses her head I have seldom been more shocked in any movie. There are lots of hidden things in it I believe that might be worth investigating. I’m sure there are videos on here discussing it.

[@natedogs212]

The Complete Dread that permeated this movie made this movie an Excellent Horror Film...

[@NoStyleDutch]

You should check out annihilation from 2018. IMO that and hereditary were the two best movies do that year. Not just horror, but movies in general!

[@Elelyoneleven]

Annihilation is fucking awesome!!

[@ianh6845]

Both movies are layered too, which made me want to watch them at least once more. Hereditary took me a little longer to get to the second time lol. Great movies. \,,/

[@walkofnails2923]

This movie is nuts. From what I understand, Grandma was the head of the cult and they needed a human male host specifically from her family for Paimon. When Annie had Peter, she had taken Peter away and cut all contact with her mother. I don’t think Annie knew anything about this cult, but had a bad relationship with her mom. When Charlie was born, they reconciled and Grandma gave Paimon Charlie’s body, even though he preferred a male host. When Charlie died, Paimon was still hanging around the family and he was in that blue light that would occasionally flash. When Steve caught on fire, Annie finally became so out of her mind that Paimon was able to jump into her body. The cult & Paimon still wanted Peter though, so when Paimon killed Annie’s body in the attic (by possessing her and cutting off her head) and then Peter jumped out of the window and was unconscious, Paimon finally took over Peter. It is truly a sad, messed up situation

[@danwilliams2551]

It's Halloween season, which means we have a whole new slew of people ready to be traumatized by this movie

[@sino1213]

So awesome you caught all the subtle clues.most people don’t get it.but when you get it’s fucking amazing .loved your reaction

[@chelsq1636]

This movie is pure horror. The images are terrifying and unsettling.

[@PopcornReactions]

Extremely terrifying you are so right

[@nicolewilliams3434]

Laughed til my stomach hurt lol . Originally seen this when it came out . This was the creepiest movie I've seen since " Sinister " ( Ethan Hawke ) . Great review ...

[@epep50]

Toni is awesome in everything she does. She's so believable it doesn't feel like an actor stepping into a role, she makes me believe it. I feel emotions I don't want to feel but feel them anyway and it makes my soul hurt but I can't look away. I feel like I need therapy after I go through the rollercoaster she puts me through. It's a love hate relationship but she's awesome.

[@TheCBLingo]

I love Gabriel Byrne in this just spends the entire movie trying to keep it together while things get worse every 2 seconds haha

[@PopcornReactions]

Lol 😂😂😂 he tried the best he could

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Poor dude got a horrible death as well!!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

“Steven you need to pack some shot and hit the road!!” Lol love the real world advice!

[@thunderstruck5484]

That head covered in ants is burned in my memory now good movie though took me a couple viewings thanks again for the entertaining reactions!

[@PopcornReactions]

Freakiest freaky stuff ever

[@tiredoffools8929]

I love seeing you put in the work for both modern Horror as well as classic Horror. Showdown, that's what's up! Here are a few Modern Horror recommendations for you to chew on.... The Babadook (2014), & The Ritual (2017) and Midsommar (2019). Oh and one fun classic one... Fright Night (1985)

[@GrisouIII]

I completely agree with your recommendations. They’ve all gotten recognized and appreciated, except for the criminally-underrated The Ritual!

[@anniethenonnymouse]

Great reactions to this freaky film. It has a lot to say about family-- secrets, expectations, toxic patterns,... the ending is kinda lame imo, but there's so much to like about the film overall. Keep doing what you do-- I'm here for it!

[@PopcornReactions]

I totally agree!

[@anthonyreid666]

I agree too

[@AdamRee-lx8uh]

The ending wasn’t lame, what are you talking about?

[@larindanomikos]

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in the ending actually, although I still think it is one of the greatest horror movies made. All the subliminal stuff in it is just brilliant. There are things you still don't catch after a couple of viewings, but your subconscious doesn't miss a thing.

[@larindanomikos]

@@AdamRee-lx8uh It's called an opinion and we're allowed to have one. Whether someone likes or dislikes something isn't really up for debate.

[@Kmax1424]

When a friend and me saw this we came out of the theatre was like what did we just watch

[@PopcornReactions]

😂😂😂

[@realSimoneCherie]

“There’s no tv’s in anyones room” Low key that’s the real issue they too weird

[@BigNate21659]

Crazy thing is right before he discovers his dad's body the minute he woke up on bed Annie was standing on the ceiling lol. U didn't even catch it that's why when she ran pass u were confused lol. Nice reaction tho 💯

[@rodgomez4424]

Grandma was a super freak

[@kennethmccullah4905]

Great reaction Showdown. I hadn't been unsettled or creeped out by a horror movie since I was a kid, until the first time I watched Hereditary I was by myself and it was around midnight. I'm a 37 year old man and I had a little trouble sleeping that night. This movie is creepy as shit. Great job, I really dig everything you do. You deserve a hell of a lot more subs than you have, you deserve 100k. Take care

[@PopcornReactions]

thanks !!!

[@Partinaire]

Im sorry but the son sobbing like that cracked me right on the fuck up lol

[@saucygoat8287]

This movie scared the sh*t out of me when I first saw it😂 didn’t sleep for a couple days

[@PopcornReactions]

I can only imagine crazy mess

[@stevesheroan4131]

Okay, had to do it: Total WTF count - 34 1st WTF - 2:10 Best (imo) WTF - 6:50 Steven’s WTF - 19:35 All times are approximate One WTF was “Where the f#*k?!” One WTF was “Who the f#*k?!” (Naked guy in the doorway scene) Also loved the Enter The Dragon “emotional content” reference in your wrap-up.

[@PopcornReactions]

Oh wow 😅😅😅😅

[@Killhill93]

The fact that I’ve watched this movie so many times and I didn’t notice the naked dude behind Petter🥲 this movie is a masterpiece

[@Not_J._B]

In my opinion the mother was the sanest person in the movie , she found out what was happening and tried to end it but unfortunately failed

[@Perma-Tempo]

Showdown meets Ari Aster. The day has come. Oh, JOY! He is my favorite director out there right now - emphasis on "out there". Showdown, and anyone else, check YT for Ari Aster's short film from like 10 years ago called Strange Thing About the Johnsons. The guy is a genius at making you feel uncomfortable.

[@PopcornReactions]

That guy is fantastic

[@montist1]

Man, you watching THIS movie is the best thing. This movie is so haunting and you’re so fun to watch. You got peanut butter in my chocolate!

[@PopcornReactions]

Thank you very much and I'm sorry you got your chocolates and peanut butter mixed together I think 🤣🤣🤣

[@Elelyoneleven]

I wanna recommend an older creepy 70's flick called : "Dont look now" starring Donald Sutherland (Ari Aster also loves this movie and is inspired by it thats why i came to think about it). Or maybe the Japanese surreal cyberpunk bodyhorror classic "Tetsuo the ironman" that movie is WILD

[@PopcornReactions]

oh yeah that a creepy one

[@jaranowska]

Stylistically, this film reminded me of a German horror film, "Goodnight Mommy" (2015). Really good as well.

[@Steef_Lee]

I just wanna thank you for creating a new phrase in “2 sheets out of the damn laundry”! I’m definitely using is as soon as the opportunity presents itself lol

[@PopcornReactions]

lol !! that was the best I could come up with

[@Steef_Lee]

@@PopcornReactions well I’m glad because I effing love it lol

[@ThatHorrorGuy99]

I thought it was pretty scary honestly, the atmosphere is amazing and I was super anxious throughout. I like that it spirals into something completely wild and disturbing and all the performances are top notch in my opinion. Great content as always! 👍🏽

[@PopcornReactions]

+eh whatever I completely agree

[@Teaniinja]

This was a great reaction. I had pretty much the same response. Just wtf is happening over and over til the end. Then the more I thought back afterward I found so much. I still feel Midsommar is this director's better film, but this was pretty amazing.

[@PopcornReactions]

+Teaninja is midsummer scary?

[@torpedoboy4]

Dude, I got about 50 seconds into your reaction, and I chickened out. This movie scared the straight up $#%t outta me when I saw it in the theater. I'll eventually get my courage back up, and I'll be back.

[@PopcornReactions]

Come on Trenton watch it with me and we'll be scared together 😂😂😂😂

[@freedo333]

Im looking forward to seeing your reaction on this one :) Hereditary was way more disturbing than i was expecting, but i dug it

[@PopcornReactions]

I'm looking for more movies like this one Jeff if you have any ideas let me know

[@danajackson332]

@@PopcornReactionsThe Witch might be a good choice, or you can go into Midsommar if you haven't watched that yet. That's Ari Aster's second full length film.

[@freedo333]

@@PopcornReactions i gotta admit, i havent seen it. With that being said, id recommend "Midsommar" (not sure of the spelling). Its by the same director & ive heard good things about it. You might try the original version of "martyrs". Its hard to watch, but a great fucking movie

[@tonysoto8949]

As soon as the mom met that crazy lady then she pops up coincidentally at the mini mall I knew she was trying to manipulate the mother. When the mother told the husband she knew what was going on and he had to trust her mother felt she was being honest. She found out in the attic about their family history and would prefer her son dead than have him turn into some kind of antichrist or evil leader. The only question I have is if the occult members have supernatural powers that manifested itself in the human world or was it just the ability to make people see things in a supernatural realm? I ask this because everything was pretty much things and people the mother snd son would only see, nothing physically evident just visual. Except for the mother catching fire snd then eventually the father catching fire snd burning to death. The mother said she somehow had a link to the book, then how did the father catch fire?

[@HorrorGhoul13]

You think is weird and wild try Midsommar next!

[@TylerNorCal]

Let's go, hyped to see you watch this...right up there with The Shining as my favorite horror films of all time 🔥

[@PopcornReactions]

I concur

[@classiclife7204]

Take a shot on each time this man says a variant of "What the fuck!" :)

[@PopcornReactions]

I tried it got super drunk

[@Dan-B]

That dinner table freak out scene from Toni Collette though...

[@PopcornReactions]

This movie is crazy but awesome

[@kellifranklin4432]

Just found you and subbed. I really enjoyed this reaction and I look forward to more horror movie reactions from you before Halloween. I recommend Sinister. It's a little older but it scared the bejesus out of me! I look forward to more of your content!

[@PopcornReactions]

Awesome thank you!

[@jr1soto]

another great Reaction! Midsommar next? or Possessor?

[@AwkwardKyle]

I love a movie that takes its time, but once it puts its foot on gas, it doesn't let up. I actually watched this movie with my mother. For weeks, I'd hear that tongue click sound around the corner in the kitchen and living room.

[@johnt84]

This one is pure misery & dread like a true horror should be (or psychological horror). I believe he said this was his family drama but he enjoys adding these horror elements to it. I personally believe it's to bring out the extreme emotions out of the great actors/ actresses he chooses. What a fucking movie but sadly it's still not appreciated by casual horror fans. I wish it was because it would encourage the movie industry to give us more films w/ directors who care about their craft. If you listen carefully to the lecture during one of the classroom scenes the teacher speaks on "fate" which this movie is centered around. Definitely in my top 5 modern horror films it still sticks with me.

[@PopcornReactions]

That was super deep things that I missed I'm going to have to watch it again it's awesome

[@kathywhite9411]

Loved your reaction!!😂 Hereditary is my favorite horror film, and I think Ari Aster is the new king of dread. The atmosphere he creates is untouched in my opinion. You need to react to Midsommar!❤️

[@PopcornReactions]

thank you Kathy !

[@freedo333]

You might dig "The Witch". I think Roger Eggers directed it

[@PopcornReactions]

I'm a definitely check that out Jeff !!

[@freedo333]

Haha 😄 i was waiting for the car/sister part. That was horrifying 😄

Great reaction to a flick I hated watch Asters short film from 2011 The strange thing about the johnsons

[@PopcornReactions]

Looks like we have different tastes in movies, but that's what makes discussions fun! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

New sub here! Soon as I saw hereditary I subd! Let me suggest the ONLy 100% rotten tomatoe ratted horror “Annabelle : Creation” to the list of movies to see! It’s amazing! conjuring 1 and 2 also (Annabelle creation is the 2’d Annabelle movie , the 1st is good too) and I’ll add “The Blackcoats daughter” to this too. paranormal activity 1, 2 and 3 as well as Ari Asters Midsommer and even The new Malignant for fun, Jsut some epic paranormal horror

[@Gutntagged]

1:30, I learned a valuable lesson about washing the face, brushing the teeth. when i was younger in my teens, i stole a motorcycle and did 2 years, one morning i was coming from my cell to the chow, and i was standing in line, and the biggest mfr in the place walks up to me and says "you best not ever come to chow again without washing" wise words....he's still there doing 4 life sentences

amazing how lessons can come from unexpected places.

[@bruhmoment-yc5zg]

You're right. It was all a huge set up; a generation long ritual. For me (I've watched horror for 13 years) it's the scariest film ever. It doesn't rely on jumpscares but on atmosphere.
