@@300thNPC Eh, I don't think it's accurate to call Saw a slasher movie in the same group as Halloween and Scream. The foundation of a slasher movie requires a guy hunting your group down one by one. The only killer in Saw is the group's poor decision making or the lack of unity among themselves which results in their deaths while trying to solve death traps. Saw more or less falls into the category of body horror and torture porn with the facade of a dungeon crawler.

If you was a cannibal how do you trust the other cannibals in the group? You would be constantly worried about the group running out of food and turning on you without any warning..

[@blazzered2]

I imagine they had a system they all agreed on. Guy with a missing leg for all we know could’ve been food for them all, including himself. And the dead also become food. Safety in numbers but of course more numbers means more to feed. A whole other movie could be made on the different people and groups we see in the film.

[@thecowboy9698]

The scariest part, I thought, is what those sickos would've done to the boy had they got their hands on him. The guy playing the cannibal here is like the stuff of nightmares, and the way his eyes seemed to light up when he first spots the boy, in my reading of the situation, gives a very disturbing indication of what would've happen to the boy had the cannibals gotten their hands on him. The Father had every legitimate right to be paranoid, much to the boy's objections, but the way the world had gone to shit in the time since whatever event happened, the Father's paranoid was justified, and like any loving father, he gave everything he had to protect and preserve his son. The ending is left ambiguous, but I would genuinely like to believe that the boy made the right choice to go with that family, grew to manhood, and hopefully did not become at his core corrupted by the outright evilness of the world around him.

What do you guys think he does to stay alive?

[@Adsper2000]

Probably a mechanic or knows the area or he’s the morale guy or something, maybe a relative to whoever the leader is (if they have a leader). Could be he has a disease and they don’t want to eat him if they can avoid it. I doubt they took it off just to eat it, probably was already part of the group, got injured, and had to amputate. Or maybe he was a random stranger that they captured, and they let him join their group for whatever reason partway through eating him. Or maybe he was one of them, he got taken by a different cannibal group, and some of the guys had enough brotherhood left to rescue him.

You seem surprised.

[@malcolmforest9268]

Lietiel a little , because in the the book i heard most of the women get raped .

[@Lietiel]

reward 4 chikani And they did, but that doesn't change the fact that women can be just as vicious as men (if not more so). Look to nature. Like Kipling said, the female of the species is more deadly than the male. lol

[@malcolmforest9268]

Lietiel lol especially when thet on their period

[@Sexxxyism]

I did notice. It was kind of hard to spot.

[@dillonwalshpvd]

Based on experience the water coming off his cap would be yellow or maybe gray at this point. Small nitpick

[@kaj7135]

Jack McCall the Cannibal.

[@joeharris3878]

I didn't know they made a movie from the book . I don't see how it could be any improvement .

[@iglitch6498]

In a scenario like that of the book / movie I would have taken my life a long time ago. Realistically speaking, it doesn't make any sense to suffer so much. A bullet to the head, a handful of sleeping pills and you walk away with dignity. Especially if I have a child and especially if I know that the child fell into the wrong hands (99% of the people who populate the film) it would not just be killed, it would do worse things to it. No, in a scenario like this I would choose the least painful route.

you are WEAK

In many ways this film is an allegory for our world, Cormac Mccarthy is known for portraying worlds in his novels that can be interpreted as "godless" or lacking hope and meaning, the world in this movie potrays maybe the darkest example. Therefore it can be implied that Cormac sees the world in this way, or has. The point of his work is that there is always a protagonist who is good in their heart, a person who may die terribly or not do what they set out to, but nonetheless they did the right thing and they continued fighting. That, to me, is the moral of this story; To keep fighting, to continue carrying the fire

[@danmaddox2849]

In the book his wife get so pissed at him for not doing exactly that, that she just walks off and does it herself with a flint rock

[@Lenn869]

absolute loser

[@Je_QzcY3mN0]

What's so dignifed about it? Are you a samurai or what?

[@thebernice6062]

Garret Dillahunt is an underrated actor.

[@pravkdey]

Man the one thing that got me just now is the water dripping off the cannibals hat. Makes me think everything in this world is just so damp and musky and mouldy and just shit. I love how they made the clothes especially look so worn, just as badly as the people

[@markpage9886]

Poor Garrett Dillahunt. Nicest guy in the world; plays scumbags all the time. Like William Fichtner or J.E. Freeman, RIP.

[@Kruppt808]

This movie was one of the scariest ones i've watched in the last 20-25 years. Maybe with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Jessica Beal.

[@iglitch6498]

If you like the "dark and sad without hope" genre I recommend the film The Divide.

[@MrCarpen7er]

This movie is the real deal. The only true, realistic post apocalyptic movie. Forget about all that Mad Max crap and alikes.

[@BOB-wx3fq]

You ain't gonna shoot that thing You ain't got but 2 shells Maybe 1

[@chrislindamood9378]

Vigo Mortensen has a relaxing voice

These are future americans when they run out of food and civil order

[@hawk66100]

Europe as well 😂

[@NavidIsANoob]

At what point do you decide that getting into agriculture might he the more reasonable approach to surviving?

[@waragainstmyself1159]

When its not raining down ash 24 / 7 and things will actually grow?

[@Mitch_Conner75926]

Nuclear war. The skies were blocked out by ash and the world was dying.

[@Gokufan78]

fuckin bad ass movie

[@lucas82]

The film received a some criticism, but I think it was a good book adaptation tbh. A post-apocalyptic world isn't going to be like Fallout, it is going to be like The Road.

[@vexn3699]

I recently saw another cannibal portrayal. Some cult members sometimes eat human meat to feel closer to their god, some kind of mite. It's not prohibited, but it's frowned upon. Not on account of the act itself, which is at most considered distasteful, but because it makes people feel uneasy. And, you know, sure, that's logical! How can you trust your neighbor if he sometimes ups and kills a guy to eat him? So even though cannibalism doesn't merit a death penance by the cult's laws, sometimes the cultists will underhandedly hire outsiders to kill the cannibals in their own midst. I love that kind of logical writing. It's funny to think that a dead cannibal is always good for everyone, even in a community that somewhat allows it.

[@SuperDurv]

It was hard to watch this movie. Like literally. I had to turn the brightness all the way up

[@worf7680]

I do NOT remember Aragorn saving Pippin like this.....

[@darrenm1386]

I've seen a lot of movies in my time, and this is the most depressing film ever.

[@nicolastalero1861]

I recommend the book. The real gore is in the book. The real depravity of the bad guys is found in the book. The desperation of the world is described in better detail. The book is much more depressing than the movie.

[@CaptainPancakes]

The cannibal he's talking to is the dude who played two characters in Deadwood (the geologist Walcott and 'the coward' Jack McCall)

[@clavididk1236]

This movie is like depression in a movie smh

[@BWhit-ni5uc]

Where only a few meals away from becoming completely disconnected.

[@christopherrobin4619]

Its funny how all the apocalypse movies never talk about this... how there wouldnt' be enough animals to feed the world if society fell. It would eat or be eaten for years.

[@noahboat580]

I dont know why this was a class book for my high school junior year, but i never asked

[@pinkyspanks4657]

Holy crap I never knew Burt from raising Hope was in the road movie

[@bustercaps]

Man, Burt really took up cannibalism after the end of the world…

[@TheMetalhead678]

Man those guys are scary

[@tobeyhr4011]

Did you work in the comstock when you was beardless?

[@samanthab1923]

Weird that the cannibal was a good guy in Fear the Walking Fead.

[@Erizzo-pf1fo]

Yooooo I didn’t know that milk74 played the cannibal in this movie

[@JauWeek]

Its like a regular encounter in day z game 😂
