To me, this movie was a breath of fresh air. I feel like I'm drowning in horror movies funded by huge studios that all feel the same. It feels like everything nowadays is a prequel/sequel, reboot, or just an unoriginal mess with cheap jumpscares and overused CGI. This movie had a good mix of CGI and practical work, and even though some effects didn't look great, I can appreciate the work they did with what they had.

It's a great point about an Alternative version of the 70's, familiar yet different. I've only recently got into watching horror and I actually watched this at the cinema. Although I'm glad I saw it with others, someone else I follow made a great point that the format lends itself to home viewing on a TV to make it more meta, if that is the right term. Some of my favourite movies have had strong horror elements, and even though my experience with pure horror is still limited, this felt unique and very immersive. My only issue was with the energy special effects as they looked worse than what can be achieved now, and yet better than what a a 70's camera could have captured. In essence, they were out of time.

And we had a public access studio/ building that was in our cities industrial/ commerce part of the city ... And id always make a note of it . Then I'd watch the WALLY GEORGE SHOW on a channel called KDOC... And the wally George show was WILLDDDD... It was like the Morton downey jr. Show and jerry Springer before those shows were a thing . And he'd do stuff like this all the time and bring Satanist and just odd people on to debate religious groups ... And because Wally was conservative he'd always end up yelling at the people opposing religion and the studio would always turn into chaos. It wasn't necessarily scary to me as a kid... It was just ODD. I was way too young to understand the parodic kinda dark humor of the show...and the fact it was all a SHOW and that wally was a character acting. So yea like I said it was always a little off putting whenever id think of it... Anyways the show was taped at a public access studio called KDOC.. and the logo would always be on display in the corner during the show..and because id always pass that one public access studio we had in our city on our way to get on the freeway Everytime we'd have to leave out of town somewhere.. KNOWING THAT BUILDING WAS THERE would always spook me too...cuz to me it was synonymous with all the confusion imagery the show would put in my 7/8 year old brain. And ya...

Personally, I thought that the very end scene indicated that Jack knew how to perform the hypnosis himself - albeit perhaps he lost control of it? We only hear it one other time with Carmichael. It makes me wonder - was his agenda to use the same hypnosis trick that Carmichael showed, but on a bigger scale? Perhaps mastery of that power was what he gained from the Tall Trees, but just couldn't use it effectively. Imagine if he used that skill to help kill his wife and pass it off as cancer, all in hopes of using the tragedy for ratings?

Oh and I will say this....they did their homework with that Demonic Cult part. Reminded me of the footage of The (actual) Church of Satan (Anton LeVey's church) hat has been broadcast many times .... Also, some of the clips give me "Faces of Death" (one of my favorite movie series)

It felt exactly like Faces Of Death, you’re spot on.. I still have the VHS tape, with the box cover too. Along with Dawn Of The Dead VHS tape.. I found my old blockbuster card as well..

My favorite little detail is in the fact that Jack is a smoker and his wife likely got lung cancer from the second hand smoke. A cruel joke from the devil, Jack essentially killed his wife twice.

You missed the demon's hand on Jack's shoulder 😊 Good video though, you caught other things that I didn't.

Love how they kept showing the wife in everything. I only noticed the one on the back of lilys head. Just a cool little detail

I enjoyed this movie! I didn't necessarily find it scary, but it was an entertaining watch and I appreciate the unique stylistic choices and storytelling. I'd rather a horror movie attempt to do something different and out of the box, and I'd take that over another boring generic jump-scare movie any day!

This movie was so simple, but so great. Definitely worth the subscription I pay to Shudder.

Honestly this review has made me like the movie more. I found it to be shallow when I watched it the first time and didn't find that it had much substance. This deep dive has made me see a different perspective. Thank you.

Other then David..there where many child actors after the Excorst like ... Linda Blair as Regan..who tried to ... replicate possession movies Ingrid Torelli who played Lilly was the MVP of the film ...needs great recognition as well! Even before she was she went full on possessed ..When she came out on stage...She made many feel on edge all through her unforgettable performance!!!

I watched this at around 2:AM alone in the dark in a camper in the woods. When they did the freezeframe playback I could barely watch the screen.

I'm torn about this movie. They did a great job of recreating the setting and establishing the premise, but I feel there was so much that they could have expanded on but left unrealized. I left the theater thinking, "That could have been great, BUT...". Amazing work by Dastmalchian and the entire cast, but I feel like too much was left to wither on the vine for it to be the classic everybody is calling it.

Love it - back to your roots 👌 I noticed a few of your older videos aren’t on your channel anymore, have you cleaned up and removed old videos or am I incorrect?
