He's unrealistically evil though. Like...hes sickeningly bad, and his only motivation is that he "wants to be worshipped". He wants it so badly he murdered his own daughter. It's just bad writing.
When he got disemboweled I actually was happy. I'm screaming at the tv "That's what you get!!!!" Seeing that poor boy die the way he did stuck with me for awhile and I don't get nightmares very often.
Still took 3 people to take the 🐐 out after getting chest stabbed… so yeah he died.. but at the cost of 3 people putting their life on the line to do it! Legend.
I know this is old, but if you actually look at the barrel of the shotgun, it's not supposed to be to separate circles, it's supposed to form an infinity sign, because it's an infinite barrel shotgun, not a double barrel.
Poor Jeremy and Fiona ): that part made me genuinely sad. They were probably the most innocent couple on that island and I believe they should’ve at least made it out
The irony of a deity saying "Oh, thank God" is kinda fitting bth... She was probably wondering, "Why didn't I just go extinct like Zeus and Anubis did?"
I would love a movie where the protagonists stumble on a cult worshipping an Elder god with sacrifices or something, and the god turns out to be pretty chill and easygoing, just ignorant that for humans, death is permanent, so sacrifices aren't looked upon kindly
It isn’t a movie, but you should see the SCP log for teen chtulu bc everyone is trying to worship him this these bloody and sexual ways and he’s just like “ewww dude no.”
The director of the film actually did a great job, the whole setting was spectacularly dark and spooky. It captured very raw gore scenes and even made me to look away from it. Great film! 😉
I agree. I don't get it why people commenting that the film has bad writing because it wasn't that much of a good ending for the characters. It's a horror / thriller film, most of the time it was never a good happy ending for the characters. It was supposed to chill your spine, and this film made me feel the gore scenes and looks freaking realistic! I just feel it in my bones! Great directing and great casting!

Thanks to this, I decided to watch The Apostle. Man, it was fantastic! One of the few horror movies that actually did make me uncomfortable. Every praise that Hereditary and Midsommar got should have gotten to the Apostle. Just the purification scene alone was bone-chilling. No BGM, just the sounds of him dying. I've rarely seen hate-crimes against the mentally ill in horror movies, usually it's the other way around, so I'm glad for a change of pace but terrified at the same time. Everything about this movie was horror genius.
I'd go with a lower case "god" as she was never all-powerful. Kind of hard to be God if you can be stopped, aren't perfect, and can fall prey to the whims of mankind's mercurial nature. Still, an interesting story.
@@DaftPunkSkittle technically the "all powerful" type God that Christians believe was once a "lower case G god" as in the old testimate it was implied that every tribel group had their own god supporting them and it was their duty to subjugate them under their own god to make him more powerful. The Christian/ Jewish god is only considered "all powerful" because no other gods exist anymore
Apostle is one of my favorite modern day horror flicks. I was legit terrified of mother nature in the blood river. Her just slowly surfacing gave me chills. Such great writing, acting, and effects
One thing i appreciate about this movie is that Jeremy did some damage to Quinn, in most movies a character like Jeremy would be gutted like a little bitch BUT he did some damage it was satisfying.
The action scenes are still reminiscent of "The Raid". And I meant this in a good way. Haha. Hats off to Evans for another masterpiece. Also, the cinematography was beautiful.
There's also a very clear theme of industrialization (and colonization), of not just the earth, but the people too. The cultists aren't just using the mother nature figure as a machine (to yield better crops, a la unsustainable industrial farming practices), but they're literally paying for it with the peoples blood, using them as mere resources or fuel for the "machine". By the end, Quinn was even going to use women's bodies as a machine, reducing them to biological factories. Being set in 1905 is such an appropriate setting, given the state of industrialization at the time, at full capacity in England, and still spreading and expanding in the US from the settler-colonized east, out into the more "wild" west, finalizing the slaughter of the indigenous population, and colonizing even their own peoples, replacing local/family farmsteads with industrial agriculture, factories, horrific and dangerous wage-labour, etc... (Check out "The Jungle", for a great exploration of this. It's set in the Chicago Stockyards in the 1890s, and it's .f. u. c. k. e. d... The book was actually the reason the FDA was formed. fun fact!) These outsiders (in the movie) stumbled onto this island and completely misunderstood its way of life and how to peacefully coexist within it, and imposed their own violent misinterpretations, initially on the local animals living there in harmony, and then turning that to their own people. At first, merely by bloodletting (LITERALLY making the villagers pay to survive with their blood) but then by killing and sacrificing them, LITERALLY feeding people into a machine (to forcefeed nature into producing more than its able)... Like, it can't get any more on the nose. (Though, as if to just come right out and say it, they make the protagonist backstory be that he was a colonizer sent to China to convert the populace to Christianity.) When even slaughter wasn't enough, they still persisted in their ways, and were going to not just send people to their deaths to feed the great machine, but were going to start literally farming them, turning women into breeding animals and people into livestock, bred purely for the slaughter, churning out life as a raw resource, to be burned and consumed without any regard for them. Nature just becomes a resource to them, then animals, then people. All being churned out for maximal output, dehumanized and exploited and disregarded, like machines whose only worth is their raw output, what they can provide and produce...
The guy who played Malcolm , his real name is Michael Sheen, he played ARO in the Twilight movies, he also stars in Masters of Sex.. great actor. so many crazy roles , you wouldn't expect it when looking at him from his picture or watching him in Masters of Sex
I enjoyed this movie, it's so hard to do something original and I found this was original enough that I really ended up enjoying it. Although the ending didn't really need explaining, I'm always happy to see your channel wrap up something I viewed a few days ago and I am also happy you seemed to enjoy it too! My pick for a film for you to do an Ending Explained is The Ninth Gate!
Holy shit this movie was crazy! So many things happened and crazy gory. But not just a movie all about gore it actually had an interesting story unlike saw and Texas chainsaw you know?
@@trampustefertiller6246 I loved it! I did see a lot of similarities in this film however, such as the music and the Grinder beeing similar to the heretics, etc etc.
@@trampustefertiller6246 it was good but not as good as outlast one as the story turns out to be pretty inconsequensial to the main story and is literally caused as mere unintended side effects of the work at the asylum
What I love about good filmmakers is that you can always see flecks of their previous works appear in their body of films. For Gareth Evans, it shows up in this period piece religious horror film in the fight scenes that while nowhere near as grandiose as The Raid films, still becomes apparent in that he uses steady cam to film them clinically and his fights have quick, visceral almost-primal feels to them. It's just a little thing I've noticed. Lol
I enjoyed the movie. While i don't need each and every question answered, I still dont understand...if the 3 men have imprisoned the goddess, how is she able to be under the floorboards of the rooming house slurping up blood? (The other sightings of her i could accept as just an apparition, i guess). Second, exactly HOW was she imprisoned? Are we to assume Malcolm and his crew wrapped her up in this sort of root cage? If she could impale the guards near the end of the film...why the hell couldn't she impale Malcolm and Co. when she realized they were abusing her? Third, was the "Grinder" a servant of the goddess or of the cult? (If the goddess, why would he even allow her to be imprisoned and misused?) This movie was like a damn 1990s Tool music video. Finally, WHHHHHOOOOO put the red dot on Thomas' invitation at the beginnning of the movie? SOMEBODY knew he was the infiltrator from the jump? Right? RIGHT? (And yes, im gonna post these question on every "movie explained" video until i get some answers, dammit) Thank you for your time 😊
-The invitation the cult sent his father (with the ransom note) had the red dot on it, so they'd know which bags had the money it. -The guy with the mask had to be working with the cult. He seemed to take orders from Malcom
I can help you with at least ONE of those questions. Thomas's invitation was sent to his father personally by the cult, in order to allow him to access the island. However, they put the red dot on it to indicate to them the one that comes with that invitation, is identifiable as whoever the father sends with the ransom money. While to me, this brings up even more questions, such as (Why not send something completely different than a marked "standard" invitation, why not check everyone's bag when they come onto the ship, did Thomas ever actually BRING the ransom money?) This movie had an incredible amount of holes and unanswered questions, but I really enjoyed it regardless.
I interpreted it as the goddess already being in the tree cage thing, as the men found the carvings/paintings when they arrived before they misinterpreted them - which suggests that she must have been there already. However that does still beg the question how and why the goddess was in a barn-like structure, or whether the goddess created that herself by maybe looking at other structures when she "arrived"?
@@_diabetes6495 I don't think they found her caged. One of the flashbacks shows them walking up to her as she was sitting near a tree, wearing a gray hood and smiling.
He did not loose his faith, he took it upon him to do the right thing in this debacle. Thats why i think its the best scene, as the burning cross falls another one glows on Henry. Great scene also is when the leader is trying to lure him out, he not just prays, this time he cast aways the drugs and she is spared. This movie really was one of the best that came out recently.
Can you do the haunting of hillhouse please? I loved the show and I'm curious what you thought of it. Anyways keep up the good work man these videos are awesome
Quinn the goat 🐐 men like him rule the world. Men like him are the celebrities and politicians running shit behind the scenes. It’s sick, it’s realistic. It’s genius in the most evil capacity. There are many real life Quinns’… you probably hear about them in the news a lot and don’t recognize it.
Legit just watched this over the weekend and I'm so happy to see you've done an episode on it because that ending left me scratching my head!!! But I think your theory makes sense. Another great video! Keep it up man!
This really sounds like it could be a horror game, especially with all the sneaking around and running through sewers/rivers of blood! I got Outlast 2 vibes from the whole film.
I think at the ending, they guy was just absorbed and that the goddess was just trapped in a body. He set her free, she paved the way for his loved ones to escape. He knows he is the sacrifice at the end, because she is the island. Thats what the guys did before, trying to control her.
Kinda reminds me of RE4 Y’know, evil fanatic religious cult, damsel in distress, mass genocide conducted by one man. Edit: okay now it’s starting to remind me of Outlast 2
Jeremy's punishment death is probably the most gruesome I've seen tbh it made me puke a little in my mouth. Infact this movie probably has the most gruesome kills and murders I've ever seen in the horror movie genre.
This movie was surprisingly pretty great, and the overall message was nice. How peoples’ selfish and ignorant actions destroy and corrupt the nature around them but also bring their own doom.
Fun fact, I’m Welsh and I’ve actually met an actor who’s in this movie, the prophet guy, his real name is Michael Sheen he came to my primary school when I was younger, also if I’m not mistaken a lot of this movie is filmed in Margam, and if you’re from South Wales you end up going to Margam at least once whilst being in School, kind of weird seeing this being a popular movie because being from Wales we never really get a lot of big movies or nothing shot around here, just kinda cool
Honestly, before his delightful commentary on these movies I never really had an interest in horror movies. It's his love of the genre that has shown me that horror movies are quite awesome. About having the spoilers, the commentary makes me want to watch the movies more which could be stupid for some but oh well. Thank you and have a good day.
I just watched this movie and I think at the end, the boy Derek was transported back to that dimension where the main character killed him, so he won't be coming back plus they burned the house down. I would love for him to do a video on it though!
This helped me to understand a bit more, but what I came to find out was more on the Goddess and her purpose on the island. Foundflix' commentator speaks so quickly and even with the closed captioning, I'm still not quite grasping what's going on. I get the Quinn and company violated the Goddess by capturing her and making her work for them. We aren't told how they managed to capture her so I'll move on from that. The wall paintings aren't clear even when I freeze frame them. I understand that by force feeding the Goddess it put her appetite in overdrive and even though she doesn't want to eat the blood and mangled bits once it touches her mouth she hungrily eats it. Which I guess makes her angry and throws off her goodwill for the island. So, what I don't get is, what was the tribute or sacrifice the Goddess actually wanted? Did she even want blood at all? Or did she just want the people to live in peace and to be righteous and devoted to her and each other? Then when people die they are buried on the island and the dead become the tribute? Can anyone clear this up? Also, the Grinder, where did he come from? Has he always been on the island? He looks like a demented Jack Skellington from Halloween Town. Any ideas?
Thanks for the analysis. I just watched this movie again bc it was pretty darn good. I’m still confused about this ending though- Why did Thomas chase Frank into the forest? Thomas wanted to kill the goddess anyways, so what was the reason he was chasing after Frank for? They both had the same intentions. How did the grinder guy get the gun away from Frank and shoot him so fast? I mean, Frank doesn’t need to be up close to the grinder to shoot the grinder creature thing... Did Quinn want the goddess dead or alive? Bc he tried to shoot that grinder guy but missed, but who’s side is the grinder on anyways? The grinder was trying to force feed the goddess meat and blood and not trying to help her escape or anything. But isn’t that what Quinn wanted too? If so, why did he shoot at the grinder then? Then Malcom tried to stop Quinn from shooting the grinder guy, but then later Quinn said he was going to use those girls for babies & give them to the goddess every year.. so does that mean Quinn didn’t want the goddess dead? And if the grinder guy was doing what Quinn wanted (keeping the goddess a prisoner), why did quinn try to shoot grinder guy? I’m just confused about that whole situation. Who is the grinder creature guy supposed to be? Is it human or did it come with the goddess? Since grinder guy was trying to shove meat and blood down the goddess’s throat with a funnel and it wasn’t trying to help her escape or be free, does that mean it’s her enemy? Why wouldn’t the girls just carry Thomas to the boat? It’s not like the island was gonna explode or anything, those villagers literally had a lot of time to leave, they could have even stayed a while longer....they didn’t even have to leave so quickly on the boat. Only the village was on fire, not the entire island. They all could have just waited for the fires to go out if they wanted to. I know that Thomas was given the “powers” by Goddess lady, but he didn’t even realize that he had them until after the boat left. So he wasn’t staying behind because of the new “powers”. Thanks :)
when he shot at the grinder, it seemed to me like he was deliberately missing just to see if the grinder flinched or reacted at all or to see if it would try to come after him, since he smiled cruelly after that when the grinder didnt react, but he also didnt attempt to shoot him again even after missing him
and i think thomas was chasing frank more to make sure he was able or actually going to kill her, without anyone else stopping him before they were able to do so. and frank was shooting at thomas either because he didnt know thomas also had the same goal, or he was simply so panicked that he didnt realize it was thomas behind him, and not someone like quinn. as for the leaving thomas behind thing, it was shown right before that a GIANT trail of his blood. showing that he had lost too much to survive a very slow rowboat to the mainland. and the last rowboat was about to leave even as the girls ran up to it. if they had been dragging thomas along with them, it may have slowed them down enough that the boat would have left without them, thinking no one else was coming. and yes the entire island wasnt burning, but they were already poor with no money to rebuild. and its possible the land burning was creating toxic smoke since without the goddess the land was poisonous. so the people may not have wanted to risk staying there, not realizing a new guardian was made

The action scenes are still reminiscent of "The Raid". And I meant this in a good way. Haha. Hats off to Evans for another masterpiece. Also, the cinematography was beautiful.
There's also a very clear theme of industrialization (and colonization), of not just the earth, but the people too.
The cultists aren't just using the mother nature figure as a machine (to yield better crops, a la unsustainable industrial farming practices), but they're literally paying for it with the peoples blood, using them as mere resources or fuel for the "machine". By the end, Quinn was even going to use women's bodies as a machine, reducing them to biological factories.
Being set in 1905 is such an appropriate setting, given the state of industrialization at the time, at full capacity in England, and still spreading and expanding in the US from the settler-colonized east, out into the more "wild" west, finalizing the slaughter of the indigenous population, and colonizing even their own peoples, replacing local/family farmsteads with industrial agriculture, factories, horrific and dangerous wage-labour, etc...
(Check out "The Jungle", for a great exploration of this. It's set in the Chicago Stockyards in the 1890s, and it's .f. u. c. k. e. d... The book was actually the reason the FDA was formed. fun fact!)
These outsiders (in the movie) stumbled onto this island and completely misunderstood its way of life and how to peacefully coexist within it, and imposed their own violent misinterpretations, initially on the local animals living there in harmony, and then turning that to their own people. At first, merely by bloodletting (LITERALLY making the villagers pay to survive with their blood) but then by killing and sacrificing them, LITERALLY feeding people into a machine (to forcefeed nature into producing more than its able)...
Like, it can't get any more on the nose.
(Though, as if to just come right out and say it, they make the protagonist backstory be that he was a colonizer sent to China to convert the populace to Christianity.)
When even slaughter wasn't enough, they still persisted in their ways, and were going to not just send people to their deaths to feed the great machine, but were going to start literally farming them, turning women into breeding animals and people into livestock, bred purely for the slaughter, churning out life as a raw resource, to be burned and consumed without any regard for them.
Nature just becomes a resource to them, then animals, then people. All being churned out for maximal output, dehumanized and exploited and disregarded, like machines whose only worth is their raw output, what they can provide and produce...
@Death Embrace And you're part of what percent?

Wasn't the dude who plays Malcolm the leader of the lycans in Underworld?

That is awesome!
The guy who played Malcolm , his real name is Michael Sheen, he played ARO in the Twilight movies, he also stars in Masters of Sex.. great actor.
so many crazy roles , you wouldn't expect it when looking at him from his picture or watching him in Masters of Sex
Don't let this distract you from the fact that John Wick needs your help
He needs your mommy's credit card number, expiration date and the three wacky numbers in the back
@@mpw26 And don't forget, John Wick needs a Gold Scar and a couple a Chug Jugs, so make sure to max it out
The people on the TV say that if I don't send them the credit card numbers then John Wick will game end mommy.

your channel made me love horror films, thank you!
Gawd I love Dan Stevens. I first saw him in Legion, and he's a great and funny actor. Do more stuff Dan!
I enjoyed this movie, it's so hard to do something original and I found this was original enough that I really ended up enjoying it. Although the ending didn't really need explaining, I'm always happy to see your channel wrap up something I viewed a few days ago and I am also happy you seemed to enjoy it too! My pick for a film for you to do an Ending Explained is The Ninth Gate!
Holy shit this movie was crazy! So many things happened and crazy gory. But not just a movie all about gore it actually had an interesting story unlike saw and Texas chainsaw you know?
Platinum Bishop i loved the movie
Alternate title: "Outlast 2 The movie"
Eh people only say that because it has a few similarities
@Char Aznable was outlast 2 not good?
@@trampustefertiller6246 I loved it! I did see a lot of similarities in this film however, such as the music and the Grinder beeing similar to the heretics, etc etc.
@@CoasterWalker I actually liked the heretics more than the Knoth group and I don't know why-
@@trampustefertiller6246 it was good but not as good as outlast one as the story turns out to be pretty inconsequensial to the main story and is literally caused as mere unintended side effects of the work at the asylum
Thomas is pretty cute.
He definitely is.
Dan Steven is so hot it hurts. Those EYES
@@bananatiergod He has that intense smouldering look
What I love about good filmmakers is that you can always see flecks of their previous works appear in their body of films. For Gareth Evans, it shows up in this period piece religious horror film in the fight scenes that while nowhere near as grandiose as The Raid films, still becomes apparent in that he uses steady cam to film them clinically and his fights have quick, visceral almost-primal feels to them.
It's just a little thing I've noticed. Lol
I enjoyed the movie. While i don't need each and every question answered, I still dont understand...if the 3 men have imprisoned the goddess, how is she able to be under the floorboards of the rooming house slurping up blood? (The other sightings of her i could accept as just an apparition, i guess). Second, exactly HOW was she imprisoned? Are we to assume Malcolm and his crew wrapped her up in this sort of root cage? If she could impale the guards near the end of the film...why the hell couldn't she impale Malcolm and Co. when she realized they were abusing her? Third, was the "Grinder" a servant of the goddess or of the cult? (If the goddess, why would he even allow her to be imprisoned and misused?) This movie was like a damn 1990s Tool music video. Finally, WHHHHHOOOOO put the red dot on Thomas' invitation at the beginnning of the movie? SOMEBODY knew he was the infiltrator from the jump? Right? RIGHT? (And yes, im gonna post these question on every "movie explained" video until i get some answers, dammit) Thank you for your time 😊
K. Woods Good questions.
-The invitation the cult sent his father (with the ransom note) had the red dot on it, so they'd know which bags had the money it.
-The guy with the mask had to be working with the cult. He seemed to take orders from Malcom
I can help you with at least ONE of those questions. Thomas's invitation was sent to his father personally by the cult, in order to allow him to access the island. However, they put the red dot on it to indicate to them the one that comes with that invitation, is identifiable as whoever the father sends with the ransom money. While to me, this brings up even more questions, such as (Why not send something completely different than a marked "standard" invitation, why not check everyone's bag when they come onto the ship, did Thomas ever actually BRING the ransom money?) This movie had an incredible amount of holes and unanswered questions, but I really enjoyed it regardless.
I interpreted it as the goddess already being in the tree cage thing, as the men found the carvings/paintings when they arrived before they misinterpreted them - which suggests that she must have been there already. However that does still beg the question how and why the goddess was in a barn-like structure, or whether the goddess created that herself by maybe looking at other structures when she "arrived"?
@@_diabetes6495 I don't think they found her caged. One of the flashbacks shows them walking up to her as she was sitting near a tree, wearing a gray hood and smiling.
He did not loose his faith, he took it upon him to do the right thing in this debacle. Thats why i think its the best scene, as the burning cross falls another one glows on Henry. Great scene also is when the leader is trying to lure him out, he not just prays, this time he cast aways the drugs and she is spared. This movie really was one of the best that came out recently.
Can you do the haunting of hillhouse please? I loved the show and I'm curious what you thought of it. Anyways keep up the good work man these videos are awesome
He's is. He announced it on Twitter.
That show was freakin phenomenal. I thought the ending was actually slightly on the weak side, but the rest was so damn good.
@@Sandybowls_9001 thanks for the info dude. Don't do the whole Twitter thing lol
Josh yaaaaaaasssss👌👌👌
i see you're a degenerate
I started crying when watch Jeremy’s death scene but then just had a bunch of anger towards Quinn afterwards 😤
Quinn the goat 🐐 men like him rule the world. Men like him are the celebrities and politicians running shit behind the scenes. It’s sick, it’s realistic. It’s genius in the most evil capacity. There are many real life Quinns’… you probably hear about them in the news a lot and don’t recognize it.
Gareth Evans has some serious damn skill with the camera the varied shots, movements and angles were awesome and really take it to another level.
Hey prolly the earliest video ive ever caught by u guys
Man has to travel to a mysterious island to find someone and finds a strange cult there.....
Is this WICKER MAN???
It's a lot of places.
I was literally waiting on an foundflix video of this movie, cause I had no clue what the ending was about 😂🤷🏿♂️.
thank you for this 17 minute version of the full movie, no new ideas, theories or anything. Great word for word repetition.
Legit just watched this over the weekend and I'm so happy to see you've done an episode on it because that ending left me scratching my head!!! But I think your theory makes sense. Another great video! Keep it up man!
I watch his vids to understand movies or simply find a new movie to watch. Great work keep it up
I'm a simple man. I see the word "Apostle", I go into a rage-fuelled frenzy and _GIRRIFFISSUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!_

This really sounds like it could be a horror game, especially with all the sneaking around and running through sewers/rivers of blood! I got Outlast 2 vibes from the whole film.
So good at explaining this, it’s like I already watched the movie without watching it, good work, subscribed.
This film felt as if they tried to cram an 8 episode mini-series into a 2 hour movie. So much background/exposition left unexplored/unexplained.
Happy 1 millionth sub man, keep doin' wat you do best: Explaining
👌👌👌👏👏👏

I think at the ending, they guy was just absorbed and that the goddess was just trapped in a body. He set her free, she paved the way for his loved ones to escape.
He knows he is the sacrifice at the end, because she is the island. Thats what the guys did before, trying to control her.
this is probably my favorite of your videos.
Did this movie remind anyone else of Outlast II?
Fax
FOR FUCKING REAL MAN I HAD THAT FEELING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FILM!
FUCK YEAH
It’s the tree people
Congrats on one million
Kinda reminds me of RE4
Y’know, evil fanatic religious cult, damsel in distress, mass genocide conducted by one man.
Edit: okay now it’s starting to remind me of Outlast 2
Oropher420 RE4 is an amazing game
Omg yeeees!!! the villagers and the chiefs gave me the vibes of the los illuminados & ganados in Resident evil 4 game,thought i was the only one haha
saharXposh worddd 😭fucking love re4 best re game
its reminds me of outlast 2
The Jeremy & FFio subplot was bittersweet.
Jeremy's punishment death is probably the most gruesome I've seen tbh it made me puke a little in my mouth. Infact this movie probably has the most gruesome kills and murders I've ever seen in the horror movie genre.
I've started just watching your reviews so I don't waste my time. Thanks for sharing your reviews!
Damn those hoodes taller than kkk members not being racist
Scout Lord 🙃
You ever notice that cultists never bust out the clean clothes until it's time to sacrifice some poor sap?
"the river" hmm that's a nice way to put it....
Could you please explain the move "last shift" I got so confused on the ending so please explain
Yes please!
just done
This movie was surprisingly pretty great, and the overall message was nice. How peoples’ selfish and ignorant actions destroy and corrupt the nature around them but also bring their own doom.
Fun fact, I’m Welsh and I’ve actually met an actor who’s in this movie, the prophet guy, his real name is Michael Sheen he came to my primary school when I was younger, also if I’m not mistaken a lot of this movie is filmed in Margam, and if you’re from South Wales you end up going to Margam at least once whilst being in School, kind of weird seeing this being a popular movie because being from Wales we never really get a lot of big movies or nothing shot around here, just kinda cool
I thought it was a brilliant movie & the ending where he’s being assimilated into the island he’s smiling so he’s at peace with what’s happening.
Ikr
Oh i actually never conected the life stock stuff with the pregnancy scene. That makes sense.
Yeah, same. I just thought it was the typical "DAUGHTER NO HAVE BABBY" cliche.
I
WANT
A
SEQUEL
NOW!
seriously I love this Movie!
What will be the sequel then?
For me it's a movie that doesn't need a sequel cuz that will ruin everything.
A prequel would probably be better
Omg I am SO glad I didn’t watch this when I was barely a teenager with my dad. My innocence would not only be ruined but I would be forever scarred.
I love movies but never have time for them, your explanations make it so much easier to enjoy plots without having to sink time into a movie
Honestly, before his delightful commentary on these movies I never really had an interest in horror movies. It's his love of the genre that has shown me that horror movies are quite awesome. About having the spoilers, the commentary makes me want to watch the movies more which could be stupid for some but oh well. Thank you and have a good day.
Literally just finished the movie and got confuse thx found flix
What was confusing about it?
bariqi setijoso when he became the tree type thing at the end
TheCockneyTerritory not really that confusing.because the Island feeds on blood purity blood so...........
@@bawsebicc5634 r/iamverysmart
Since it's been sitting behind you for all this time, will you ever do an ending explained for Donnie Darko?
When I first read this I thought you said ending explained on Danny devito
Man, your saving me a lot of time for movies that i maybe not sure to watch
One of the most underrated movies of all times
Can you do Seven In Heaven next? The ending was really confusing.
I just watched this movie and I think at the end, the boy Derek was transported back to that dimension where the main character killed him, so he won't be coming back plus they burned the house down. I would love for him to do a video on it though!
OMG no one knows about this when I talk about this movie! I loved this movie!!!!!
"Oh, SHE deeead" lmao
I was very impressed by this film, and I had no idea that was his work in vhs 2. No wonder I loved it so much.
I say you are an great at explaining movie it hard to find youtuber like you. And by far you are one i like to see.
This helped me to understand a bit more, but what I came to find out was more on the Goddess and her purpose on the island. Foundflix' commentator speaks so quickly and even with the closed captioning, I'm still not quite grasping what's going on.
I get the Quinn and company violated the Goddess by capturing her and making her work for them. We aren't told how they managed to capture her so I'll move on from that. The wall paintings aren't clear even when I freeze frame them.
I understand that by force feeding the Goddess it put her appetite in overdrive and even though she doesn't want to eat the blood and mangled bits once it touches her mouth she hungrily eats it. Which I guess makes her angry and throws off her goodwill for the island.
So, what I don't get is, what was the tribute or sacrifice the Goddess actually wanted? Did she even want blood at all? Or did she just want the people to live in peace and to be righteous and devoted to her and each other? Then when people die they are buried on the island and the dead become the tribute? Can anyone clear this up? Also, the Grinder, where did he come from? Has he always been on the island? He looks like a demented Jack Skellington from Halloween Town. Any ideas?
I feel like this movie was inspired by Outlast. I’m not complaining, but I definitely get the same vibe from the both of them.
Review The Orphan!
An awesome movie
I love this channel because he summarizes it so good I don't need to watch the movie.
Dan Stevens is one of the best and most interesting actors right now. Great Flick!
I swear, most horror flicks don't even phase me, but this movie messed me up for a solid week
Thanks for the analysis. I just watched this movie again bc it was pretty darn good.
I’m still confused about this ending though-
Why did Thomas chase Frank into the forest? Thomas wanted to kill the goddess anyways, so what was the reason he was chasing after Frank for? They both had the same intentions.
How did the grinder guy get the gun away from Frank and shoot him so fast? I mean, Frank doesn’t need to be up close to the grinder to shoot the grinder creature thing...
Did Quinn want the goddess dead or alive? Bc he tried to shoot that grinder guy but missed, but who’s side is the grinder on anyways?
The grinder was trying to force feed the goddess meat and blood and not trying to help her escape or anything. But isn’t that what Quinn wanted too? If so, why did he shoot at the grinder then?
Then Malcom tried to stop Quinn from shooting the grinder guy, but then later Quinn said he was going to use those girls for babies & give them to the goddess every year.. so does that mean Quinn didn’t want the goddess dead? And if the grinder guy was doing what Quinn wanted (keeping the goddess a prisoner), why did quinn try to shoot grinder guy?
I’m just confused about that whole situation. Who is the grinder creature guy supposed to be? Is it human or did it come with the goddess?
Since grinder guy was trying to shove meat and blood down the goddess’s throat with a funnel and it wasn’t trying to help her escape or be free, does that mean it’s her enemy?
Why wouldn’t the girls just carry Thomas to the boat? It’s not like the island was gonna explode or anything, those villagers literally had a lot of time to leave, they could have even stayed a while longer....they didn’t even have to leave so quickly on the boat. Only the village was on fire, not the entire island. They all could have just waited for the fires to go out if they wanted to.
I know that Thomas was given the “powers” by Goddess lady, but he didn’t even realize that he had them until after the boat left. So he wasn’t staying behind because of the new “powers”.
Thanks :)
when he shot at the grinder, it seemed to me like he was deliberately missing just to see if the grinder flinched or reacted at all or to see if it would try to come after him, since he smiled cruelly after that when the grinder didnt react, but he also didnt attempt to shoot him again even after missing him
and i think thomas was chasing frank more to make sure he was able or actually going to kill her, without anyone else stopping him before they were able to do so. and frank was shooting at thomas either because he didnt know thomas also had the same goal, or he was simply so panicked that he didnt realize it was thomas behind him, and not someone like quinn.
as for the leaving thomas behind thing, it was shown right before that a GIANT trail of his blood. showing that he had lost too much to survive a very slow rowboat to the mainland.
and the last rowboat was about to leave even as the girls ran up to it. if they had been dragging thomas along with them, it may have slowed them down enough that the boat would have left without them, thinking no one else was coming.
and yes the entire island wasnt burning, but they were already poor with no money to rebuild. and its possible the land burning was creating toxic smoke since without the goddess the land was poisonous. so the people may not have wanted to risk staying there, not realizing a new guardian was made
Is this movie connected to The Ritual?
Just seemed very similar.
The resemblance with Outlast 2 is too detailed to be a coincidence!! It’s mindblowing.
I just watched the movie and i gonna say the story is interesting and i hooked up instantly than most of other Netflix films.
