The Damned | Movie Review

[@AngusBassSumner]

Im so happy you’re back. I’ve really missed your content. I’m happy the haters didn’t beat you. Eventually they’ll all forget and leave you alone.

[@danielthrasher1738]

I'd definitely be happy to hear about more films (especially ones that don't get advertised to me often otherwise) as they're coming out. I don't know if it will get the views for you that it should, but I'd value it as a consumer tool. I usually watch your work for thoughtful longform analysis, but recommendations from someone with excellent taste are always appreciated.

Would LOVE to see more of this, especially of smaller films that won’t get attention. I noticed this film was coming out yesterday, saw you’d reviewed it and was really grateful.

[@adep4270]

If you want to see more Draugr monster movies there’s a Viking dark fantasy one simply called Draug. It’s very good. Would recommend as a watch and as a Darksides

[@energydiluted5587]

Love to see you highlighting new horror films coming out, especially small ones like this that I don't think I would've heard of otherwise.

[@BadArtPodcastYT]

Love your vids bro keep it up

[@BabyItsBlue]

I realy enjoy the shorter videos you put on this channel.

[@MandyMan24]

I'm usually a couple years behind whatever the hottest new films are cause i got a long backlog and cinema tickets are expensive so I personally prefer Darksides focused on anything but new just so I'm not getting FOMO. Not relevant but I just so happened to rewatch the Crimewave video earlier. Did you know the lead actor left a comment praising it?

[@IPOSDarksides]

Oh I wasn't aware of that! Thank you for letting me know I'll go check it out

[@jbscott6813]

I always love a time piece, but I just wish this film had more budget to explore areas that could’ve been expanded on. Once again always love a surprise video from you!

[@sown1star436]

I'd definitely like to see more reviews of recent media from you. I saw this film when it was released in my area and I really enjoyed it. For the kind of film it is, I think it was a really strong debut for that director.

[@IPOSDarksides]

Thanks! I definitely plan on doing more like this, I won't be able to hit every new release but one's that catch my interest could be fun I think

[@BWC_Studios3004]

I'm kinda split on new release reviews tbh. On one hand it would probably be great to engage with new releases to promote channel growth especially with anything big that's likely to get algorithm attention. On the other, there's a massive list of old stuff to cover which I feel a bit selfish for wanting more coverage over things that I wouldn't be as connected to. Maybe just reserve these for big releases and anything that resonates very strongly to you? Also Happy New Year!!!

[@IPOSDarksides]

Happy New Year to you as well! And that's totally fair, doing these also hopefully won't interfere with the normal release schedule. They will just be little bonuses every now and then, I'll still have the normal Darksides every Wednesday like normal. There will be a regular one on an older film this coming week and on weeks I do a new review there will just be two of them that week. But if it become too much I'll probably stick to doing them sparingly

[@zenbrandon]

Super excited for this review! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Nosferatu, as well.

[@Mrsierramist1]

Hadn't heard of this one. I like videos like this.

[@donny_writes]

Saw this one last night. Thought it was mostly a snooze fest (and I'm usually the drawn out suspense guy), and the ending was laughably bad. I'm glad I saw it---it was fun to start the year off as early as the 3rd---but I wouldn't recommend it. I will say though, sound design was epic. Best stings I've heard in years.

[@coreybananas]

Almost every time you post I have a new movie to put on my watchlist ✨ I'll have to come back to this once I see the movie myself.

[@jeremysmith4620]

I really love this, I get more of one of my favorite Burke County natives while learning about movies I might not have otherwise. I still have yet to see Nosferatu, but follow Eggers so knew about the film. I wouldn't have heard of this until I ran across someone else's review or saw it on a torrent site. I think "day of" new reviews are amazing. That does put you ahead of almost any channel I come across on a regular basis, which is great exposure. Then cover the bajillion films in the back catalogue you'd love to say something about but not maybe 1 hour+ worth of conversation. I'd love to hear about what you are reading as well, be it comics or novels. Why not talk about the occasional new album that released you can't stop playing. Movies are fantastic subject matter for the channel, as you always seem to have well thought out observations and insights that are worthwhile to listen to. Every once in a while breaking that up with a book or a record that you just can't keep quiet about would be really welcome as well, for me anyway.

[@kenr.9177]

Saw this two days ago and loved it. It's best not to compare it to classics of the genre for obvious reasons, but on it's own merits, it's a great, simple, well executed folk horror tale. I also loved the films reverence for dark tales/storytelling, passed from generation to generation. Odessa Young carried the film with her meditation on grief, regret, and pure terror. I'll look forward to her work to come.

[@Princessmisery]

i hope you do more reviews like this, would've loved to see your opinions on Nosferatu.

[@IPOSDarksides]

Nosferatu will absolutely have a big section dedicated to it in my eventual Dracula video down the line

[@adep4270]

@@IPOSDarksidesit has three films now, an occultist for a production designer, a fictionalised version of the shooting directed by Elias Merhige/produced by Nic Cage and Orlok is in SpongeBob. How does that not qualify for a franchise analysis? Like the Carrie one since it’s the same story told three times, plus the first vampire film ever, plus all the weird stuff

[@IPOSDarksides]

It definitely could qualify if I wasn't already doing Dracula! And it would be a fun idea for sure. It is a weird problem I often have where movies will overlap with different video topics and I have to decide which one will go where and how I want to cover them when the time comes.

[@adep4270]

​ @IPOSDarksides since Dracula would be so long and you’d probably want all the space you can get for as much coverage as possible into other films, you could do a smaller Nosferatu franchise analysis a year before Dracula as a test/practice for the big vamp himself.

[@Richy22222]

I like this would love to see your thoughts on more recent movies as they come out 👏🏼

[@JonAWorley]

I enjoyed this and like reviews of new things but I also don't go to the theater much to watch films so I end up getting excited about them from reviews and then forgetting when they hit store shelves and end up never watching them... Perhaps a good middle ground would be doing decent films that recently released on blu-ray or streaming services so those of us who avoid the theater could go out and watch the thing right away? Side note I was looking for something to watch yesterday and was on both your channels looking for fresh content, was happy to see the upload when I sat down to lunch today!

[@C0XKR04CH]

Now that the air's clear and the sides have forgiven each other, I can watch all parties guilt free again. Particularly your channel, as I believe you make very nice content. I'm enjoying the shorter and more concise content on this channel, and I think it's a fun direction to go in. Best of luck, and I'm interested to see how your career goes now.

[@helwrecht1637]

He hearted a comment slandering Wendigoon on a post 4 days ago. It’s clear IPOS did not make up for nor repent of his actions.

[@BelligerentFungus]

What air was there to clear on anyone else's side? The envious little turd slandered multiple people and did zero research before saying someone threatened SA. He said that Wendigoon should not be allowed in public because of he was conservative and Christian. He called multiple people Nazi sympathizers. And his apology can be summed up as "I'm sorry that people got mad at me for saying things I still believe. Also, nobody was canceled for my video, so it's ok"

[@LiteBees]

You did this review the same day you watched it? That's incredible! It would also be interesting to know if your opinions on these movies change over the year too, letting them settle in more. I've seen a lot of movies that I didn't like or outright hated at first, but a few months later after thinking about them again I realized I liked them more than I first thought, they just weren't what I was hoping/expecting them to be at first and was put off.

[@IPOSDarksides]

I watched it last night and wrote the review but then woke up and made the video today before posting it. And same! Often my views shift on things as time goes on. There's been a few times where I've considered revisiting a film in a second video that I was once maybe a little harsh on. Hellraiser 3 is one of those which I used to not like but have learned to really love since I made that project back then.

[@thelastjarofmayonnaise5066]

I'm really enjoying the content on this channel so far, but I do have a criticism that I hope is constructive. You do a good job at touching on many various apects of a work in a really concise way, but I feel like you often don't spend enough time discussing the themes of something, or you do so in a vague and indirect way. For example in this video you bring up the idea that the movie explores the grief of doing what you need to survive, but I don't get a feel of your perspective on how that theme is conveyed in the film. I think that just a couple of sentances on an interesting example of how the movie expresses a theme, for instance, would make your thematic analysis more interesting than just pointing out the existence of an idea in a work.

[@IPOSDarksides]

Thanks for the feedback! I can work on that, I've been trying hard to keep these short because I know I can go on for a long time if I allow myself to do so lol but knowing that that is a weaker aspect of these shorter videos I can work on expressing those concepts more in the future with them

[@creepyconcepts]

Solid takes. Agree with you on the music.

Hiya! Hope you enjoyed the holidays. 💙 I would honestly love day 1 horror movie reviews, been watching you for years at this point, and I trust your opinion as we have very similar tastes. As a side note, your videos have brought me so much joy and I recommend you to all my friends, keep up the good work. (Your John Waters video was one of your best imho).
