I wrote & directed Oddity and while in post production I was watching old RLM videos every night while away from home working on the film. It’s so cool to see they enjoyed the film. I’m such a long time fan I would have been happy if it featured on a Best of the Worst. Coincidentally my first short in film school was about a man that kills a woman because a Magic 8 Ball told him to do so! This video has inspired me to dig up that old idea and pitch it to Blumhouse. Mike, Jay - Exec Producer credits for reminding me of that old short film from 20 years ago.
That's fantastic - absolutely loved Oddity, although I was lead to believe it was going to be a deadly earnest gross-out kind of bleak thing, when in fact it was a chilling E.C Comics kinda thing, which was fantastic (I think I said to a film colleague that if you get *that* about it, you're going to have a really good time with it :-) Anyway, great job, and I found that in the end, it was about family, and that's what's powerful about it 🙂
Congratulations on making a film that felt so quaint. While watching it I was enjoying that it wasn't just plainly creepy, but also sort of poetic in the way that it regarded the world of what lies beyond. It reminded me a bit of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's films because of that, because of the way that they approach the hereafter with a sense of candidness and wonder. I hope that you get to make many more interesting films.
I have since watched Caveat and it's also great! Movies rarely scare me and yours really do. I can probably write a book on the reasons why and how you've found that perfect sweet spot with tone and dread and frightening imagery. I look forward to more of your films. Never sell out to Jason Blumhouse. Unless it's for a huge pile of money, of course.
I worked the research screenings for Trap and almost every single one had overwhelming feedback from the audience that the concert scenes were too long, but M.Night refused to cut them down and then would just re-test somewhere else. I guess props for being bound and determined to make sure everyone sat through your daughter's promo lol
Tbh I thought the concert venue was the most interesting and engaging part of the movie. It was a neat location idk if I’ve ever seen primary commitmentship to in any other film.
At a certain point during one of those songs I went from mildly annoyed to charmed. Like damn he really loves his daughter so much that he doesn’t care about how it affects his movie, that’s sweet.
The best description I've heard about "The Substance" is imagine your 60 year old and 20 year old self being roommates while only owning one car/cellphone/tv/shower and bank account. They are both "you" but at such radically different stages of life even a well adjusted person would struggle to reconcile them and the lady in this film sure as shit ain't one.
The best "how did nobody see that" part of Trap is when he pushes that lady down the stairs surrounded by hundreds of people. And it didn't even accomplish anything.
Yes, that's was weird. how did the character thats the literal personification of evil got away with being evil, sliping through everywhere and outsmarting people and tricking the innocent? So UnrReaListiC…
The slipping behind the counter, grabbing glass bottles of oil, and putting them into a fryer while the food stand is surrounded by people was it for me. It would have been easier to just take the apron and leave like what the fuck
@@OhItsGiggsto be fair we just had news of people somehow doing stuff they should if in a film be called out for a plot hole. How did that guy get on the roof and how did this guy in broad daylight do this. How did a kid sneak into a building etc. a guy worked at a hospital for weeks and no one noticed etc. just think of it like a hitman movie and it’s more fun. Or don’t suspend disbelief and hate it. 😂
@@Shofixi yeah they are just riffing, but their riffing is impressive. It's like if an engineer looks at a building and knows what might be done better.
I had the same thought about a remarkable film called MadS. I am sure that Jay has not seen it, because otherwise it would be in his top 2 or 3 as well.
The original theory for a lot of people was it was the Dexter movie that never was, until the horrid last season put it in development hell. Enter, father and daughter.
@@MegaOctobot That would actually make for a really interesting Hitman level. Although it might end up being a bit too similar to the French fashion show.
Just a thought about "I Saw The TV Glow" - Jay mentions the main character eventually having a wife and kids, but we never see that. He says "I even got a family of my own. I love them more than anything," as he's carrying a TV into the house (with a big "Life's Good" slogan), and it's never brought up again.
Someone else pointed this out, but the fact that it's a flat screen TV feels like a good metaphor for giving up on that feeling of escape. Like the physical depth of their old tube TV literally allowed Maddy (Tara?) the space to literally escape into the TV itself. Owen also tried to literally climb into his old TV set. With a flat screen there's nowhere to go. And right after he drags the LG TV into his house, he's watching the Pink Opaque on it and commenting on how dull and cheap the show seems now. The magic died along with his hope.
I thought that movie was garbage to be quite honest, and I also hated A Quiet Place Day One. I loved the cat, and the cat was an excellent actor. But that movie felt like it was lacking something that the last 2 did so much better.
@@drownthepoorwell it only showed 15 minutes of day 1 and she gets knocked unconscious. Wakes up in day two and the other survivors tell her the rules of the universe. So, A quite Place Day two?
@@ANTIStraussian Yeah them skipping over what was the selling point of the trailers, the absolute chaos of Day One where no one knows the rules and the aliens go hogwild on millions of panicking people, really was disappointing.
The dumbest thing about Trap is that you can't just prevent 10k people from leaving an arena to try to catch one guy. They even bring up that if someone pulls the fire alarm they still won't let people leave like wtf that would be a billion dollar class action lawsuit.
It's a shame Mike didn't see the Substance because I would have loved to see more in depth talk about some of the later scenes, I hope they do a Half in the Bag for it
I don't think he's that crazy about body horror stuff. And since the plot itself is not particularly fresh or interesting (besides the fact it's almost poetic how a younger, more beautiful version of you would treat YOU like crap) it would probably be just a "meh."
I thought much fun. Colourful, some funny bits, the actors were all acting their all - I didn't see it as that deep either, subtext is for cowards; but hey the end, chef's kiss, so fun!
@@Gustavo_PerezRamirez I think it's a bit short sighted to say that, because the plot of a movie isn't brand new, never before seen (which I guess would make almost every movie 'meh' since most of our stories are iterations and interpretations on very similar themes most of the time), that the presentation of those themes has nothing interesting to dissect and evaluate. Whether it's something someone enjoyed or not, it's been a long time since I've seen a movie with such clear, unique directorial vision and incredible effects work. I'm a big body horror fan and have become desensitized to a lot of it, but the sound design and visual effects of things like the seeping wound on Elizabeth's back had me cringing I also think that the theming has hit different people in different ways, which I'd love to see discussed. The obvious interpretation is of the violence we inflict on the self as we compare and consistently fall short to society's expectations, particularly against the beauty industry, but I've seen others mention the possibility of it being an interpretation of a maternal role. A mother giving herself in her entirety to her children, hoping to live vicariously through them, but ultimately finding that secondary role unfulfilling and wasting the life they do still have left resenting that fact. Elizabeth still could have lived her life as a 'mother', but it couldn't have been exactly how she wanted. So instead of seeking things in new avenues to fulfill her as a person, she withdraws and places all of her worth onto Sue Or, another interpretation, is how we take from ourselves when we're young and are short sighted to the life that waits for us. Sue quite literally neglects her body in favor of pushing her career, sex, and seeking to fulfill the need to be loved, even though she knows it will catch up with her. And in a way a lot of us do that in smaller doses, day by day. We do it when eat junk food instead of cooking healthy, or don't exercise because it's unpleasant, or neglect our social and mental health because withdrawal is easier. And even knowing what Elizabeth gave up for her, Sue mocks Elizabeth's age and seeks to distance herself from that other self, even though as the movie hammers home 'you are one'. We will all age but most of us when we are or were young, still other that distant self that we'll see at 50 or 60 and beyond, trying to ignore the realities of life and the inevitability of aging while perpetuating an environment that makes those years of people's lives more unpleasant and dehumanizing. Another still is pretty on the nose but not the interpretation most people go for; drug use and addiction. Being Sue is an addiction, the more she abuses it, the more her body suffers and decays, but even knowing and experiencing what it does to her after the 'high' wears off, she continues to abuse it. I think it's a less interesting take than the others, but I wonder how many of us would still give into those vices if we saw what impact they would have not within months to years, but within one week.
I haven't seen the remake so I don't know if this is done in the new version as well, but I really liked in the 2022 Speak No Evil that, when the host family is speaking Dutch, we don't get subtitles, but when the Danish family is speaking Danish, we do. I love it when a movie isn't afraid to alienate their audience just a bit to make them stew a bit in their uncertainty
@@ReighnDrac I've just watched them both back to back and the remake almost feels like a fanfiction who didn't agree with the ending of the original. The remake also fails to build up that looming dread credibly; in the original when they first want to leave you completely understand why they're unsettled, I didn't feel that as much in the remake, which also lacks the cinematographic shots that back up that dread and feeling of helplessness. Some of the minute changes didn't really make sense, like the dad not finding the bunny in the beginning and not having the line: "That's very heroic of you." said to him. And the lost in translation stuff is completely absent, because they're both from English speaking countries. Even though I'm dutch and I understood them, it's not necessary because you can pick up on the passive-aggressive tone. Having the couples able to communicate with eachother without the other couple knowing what they're saying, opens the door for a disconnect between the words spoken and the expressions on their faces, which plays well with the theme of wearing a metaphorical mask during social interactions. I do recommend watching them both. First the original then the remake, just to cleanse the palet a bit of the utterly depressing end of the original.
@@ReighnDrac It definitely added to the paranoia, yes. As a Norwegian, I understand Danish, but the Dutch characters felt so sinister because their dialogue was constantly kept in secresy. I also think much of the cultural context of the og fly way over the heads of American audiences, which is why the remake seemed a bit too "safe" in my opinion. It's a good film, but I wasn't surprised they changed THAT ending.
@@deltav864 The bizarre thing about changing the ending is that, in the original, the ending is the whole point of the movie. It might not make a lot of sense plot-wise, but it is the metaphor that embodies the whole idea of the film. I think it's probably even the reason why the movie is called 'Speak No Evil', as it shows the ultimate consequences of avoiding and ignoring danger as we have (supposedly) grown used to doing in our cushy, safe, modern society. To remove that ending is almost to deplete the movie of its main theme. I mean, I know that this is what sometimes happens with remakes, but still, I find it so frustrating.
I watched it right after I watched this vid because I was intrigued by the concept and boy howdy it is disturbing and I loved it! Some of the imagery is still sticking with me and that is a sign of great horror for me
22:55 RLM has been so traumatized by audio corruption/issues that you can see their two main editors in this moment check their mics. I have seen them do it many times individually, but it is hilarious to me to watch Mike double check his, and then Jay notice and immediately check his own. Possibly a nervous tic to add to your RLM drinking game.
my proudest moment is that i was in Toronto for a conference last year, and took lots of photos of fake FBI vehicles and stuff...turns out it was all for the filming of Trap
I Saw the TV Glow was such an important movie to me when I first saw it with my friend, I made an appointment with a gender care specialist immediately after the credits rolled. It’s a very, VERY vulnerable and beautiful depiction of feelings I had myself growing up about not wanting to be masculine at all. It really means a lot to me that you guys connected with it, even if the trans metaphors didn’t apply to you at all. It was just really nice to see men who look like my father actually understand the movie and applaud it for what it accomplished/represents
I can tell you why the tv show in The Substance is an aerobic show. In France there was a short period of time in the 80's when an aerobic show was a tv hit. It was called Gym Tonic. The end credit was the two female presenters taking a shower, nude. There is absolutely no doubt Coralie Fargeat saw that show growing up in France.
@@luciuswhite4502 Well it's something that american can relate to, it makes sense she would talk about it during her promo tour rather than a french show nobody has heard of outside of the country. And it is probable that she used it to prepare for the movie. But I have little doubt Gym Tonic is her original inspiration.
That explains the aerobic show and the overly sexualize nature of Sue's chracter. Being an American, I initially thought it was heavily inspired by Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons and other fitness programs during 80's-90's lol
“The Pink Opaque” is the name of a Cocteau Twins compilation album (& their first US release from 1984), so perfectly appropriate for them to call the film Shoegaze. (& for those who don’t know the album, it’s amazing.)
I just want to point out that the Candy Man actor passed a day after Mike mentioned the Bloody Mary urban legend, which it was inspired by. Damn you RLM, you did it again!
Watched it because of Jay. Thought it was boring and absolutely derivative, sooo many tv series have done this "cloning/dreaming/hacking gone wrong" lately... Seen this all before, and better.
My Trap rewrite was thus: They should've kept the initial premise of "criminal trapped in concert while the cops close in", where we know that the main character is a criminal... but the twist is that he's not the Butcher. It then becomes his task to identify and reveal who the Butcher is so that the cops leave before he gets caught and inspected, so you'd have this cat-and-mouse game between the two crims and the law enforcement.
@@claytonreeves150 pretty much every single plot twist recommendation in this video and in the comments has been miles better than what Shyamalan did. That being said, the movie gave me tons of laughs, so I had a great time watching it.
Also could have been interesting if you think it’s the dad the whole time, but really it’s his daughter who is the killer and he is just trying to help her get away because he loves her so much that he would protect her from anything, even consequences. Could have been a good commentary on how people enable the bad behavior and crimes of those they care about and in a way become guilty themselves by association.
I wanted the fake out to be the husband is the helper and the real twist is the wife is the killer. Unfortunately it wasn’t a real movie, it was commercial for his daughter’s music career.
Honestly I respect M. Night's shameless hustle here. Yeah the movie is an extended, self-financed advert for his daughter's music career. Sounds like a great dad to me! (Also underwriting his other daughter's directorial efforts with "The Watchers," which was far worse than Trap.)
@@catastropheoverclocki mean, you say ideally, but it doesn't happen always, to say the least. Sometimes filmmakers kinda don't know what they're trying to do themselves, they miss the theme, they miss the idea
I stopped this video to go and watch it so I wouldn’t be spoiled. When he says near the end, “I have my own family now” I didn’t believe that for one second. Felt like the character said that only because it was the expected thing to say next. No way he could have faked normalcy enough for that to happen.
honestly thats most of his movies. i remember watching Signs after hearing about it for years in 2012 and thought it was a great comedy cuz it made me laugh so much with how silly it would be
@@TVindustries5000if you argument is the most annoying one about Signs: humans don’t go places that are dangerous for themselves to gather resources like? Why wouldn’t aliens? Tremendous film, get over it.
Yk I read this comment three times. The first time I read it and thought nothing of it. The second time I started to understand. Yes, the Diddy Party. The third time is when I realized the brilliance in its simplicity. The "Diddy Party", I can see it now, but what would it be? A24 or Mubi? Would the horror be silly, sad, or sick and mad? Who would produce it and where would it land? So many questions left in the wind like sand.
The Substance was awesome. As someone who loves Cronenberg and Lovecraft this one even turned my stomach. Not sure which version I saw or what rating it got but I can see why people would walk out on it. Definitely not me. It just got more and more grotesque. The clip of giant Eddie Murphy really isn't that far from the truth. Both female leads were great.
In Trap the smartest character is "only clever if everyone else is dumb" because the smartest character is written by Shyamalan. Which really puts a cap on the overall intelligence of the world.
I've always said that the Nepo Baby thing doesn't bother me unless it is the parent forcing their kids upon the audience. Like I don't give a shit that Andie McDowell's daughter is in The Substance, because she's not playing the younger, hotter version of her mom. M. Night forcing the audience to listen to ten minutes of his daughter's singing is the absolute peak of awful Nepo Baby bullshit.
My Trap rewrite was that, halfway through the film, the protagonist turns to the camera (while M Knight is standing next to him) and tells us -the audience- "I'm not trapped in here with the police - YOU'RE trapped in here with HER (gesturing to Lady Whatsit)". It's still a horror movie, but you have to hear even more of the songs from start to finish, the video won't turn off no matter what - somehow) and at the end the police kick down your door in real life and force you to buy CDs and merch. Then, in a massive twist, the camera pulls back from all of THAT, and it turns out you're the actual audience for the audience that's watching Lady Thingy. Then you wake up screaming, when you realize M Knight is now filming YOU being the protagonist of a new film about trying to get out of a multi-level 'M.Knightmare' where you are always pulling back one removal from the previous group of characters you were watching. Send money.
I liked how Trap just uses the Friday 13th method and completely ignores the impossibility of some feats. Like the limo escape into the crowd is identical to Jason only being seen walking but somehow appearing ahead of characters running away from him. It doesn't matter how he escaped the limo. It only matters that it happened and the chase continues, the plot pushes onward and will not stop to answer your questions, so sit back and have fun.
It's a lot easier to make some feats plausible despite their impossibility if you are dealing with a supernatural force of evil instead of a not-so-clever family man, though.
Exactly. Too often people seem to for some reason watch movies as a way to enjoy perfect realism. Sometimes movies are just fun and for entertainment and you’re not meant to analyze it to figure out if it is a realistic fully grounded display before you can enjoy it. M. Night is one of the most misunderstood filmmakers out there, his movies are all just extended twilight zone episodes, where you’re not meant to have a full explanation that makes sense, it’s just “this is the world this story takes place in, deal with it and enjoy the ride”
@@samlibutti Yes, but terrifyingly, for a long time old Knight-y seemed to be operating under the delusion that he's a top-shelf A-level filmmaker, and not a genre hack-type filmmaker. It was only after his true colors came out with Lady In The Water (which is literally about critics not understanding genius(!) and The Happening (which is weaponized Ebola presented as film - only a hemorrhagic fever outbreak would be more interesting) that it became incredibly obvious. Yes, you can deal with it and "enjoy" the ride, but I don't think *he* thinks that. I think he thinks he's very very clever indeed, and making art. And... he ain't. That said, he's more successful than I am, so it's probably just rampant jealously on my part, or taste, or something... I mean, I couldn't get through his last two films, so...
The worst part of Trap is they try to pass him off as charming everyone, but he’s never charming at all. He just acts creepy and extremely suspicious the whole time.
I Saw the TV Glow is one of the best movies I've seen that I never want to see again. It's so gorgeous and unique and hypnotizing, but so overwhelmingly, crushingly sad the entire run time. I appreciated and respected everything it did, but I was absolutely MISERABLE when the credits started.
I had a studio note for A Quiet Place Day One. I saw many people ask why the Stranger Things guy isn't in the A Quiet Place Part Two. I suggested that the reason would be really great if it was because of a hypothetical (yet inevitable) sequel to this that tells the story of him trying to get back to the UK. It could be called "A Quiet Place 4: London Calling."
There were also overt Pete & Pete references in i saw the tv glow including cameos from them and the ice cream man is a reference to "what we did on our summer vacation" episode. though unlike the pink opaque, pete and pete still holds up
The movie trap feels like a movie version of the game Hitman. He puts on disguises and stuff and all the NPC's are really stupid. I'd enjoyed it for that reason.
It's still weird for me to think of Shout Factory as a legit production company, I still remember them best as the source of some of the laziest, most poorly produced English release DVD sets of Super Sentai and other Japanese superheroes around. They weren't very high on Mike's hierarchy, but it's still jarring to see their name next to things like A24 and Neon.

Mike’s criticism on the diner is valid: if it doesn’t feel “lived in” it can take you out of the movie.
absolutely. In a movie like that the diner is a character also. They did a poor job of fleshing out the "character". Still a decent flick otherwise
I thought that movie was garbage to be quite honest, and I also hated A Quiet Place Day One. I loved the cat, and the cat was an excellent actor. But that movie felt like it was lacking something that the last 2 did so much better.
@@drownthepoorwell it only showed 15 minutes of day 1 and she gets knocked unconscious. Wakes up in day two and the other survivors tell her the rules of the universe.
So, A quite Place Day two?
@@ANTIStraussian Yeah them skipping over what was the selling point of the trailers, the absolute chaos of Day One where no one knows the rules and the aliens go hogwild on millions of panicking people, really was disappointing.
@@TrueLegateDamar ironically QP2 showed more of day 1 than QPD1
Hearing Mike and Jay say the word "shoegaze" has improved my life considerably.
Lmao, timestamp ?
46:28
Are they referring to My Bloody Valentine (1981)?
it feels somehow out of place, like those AI videos with Obama, Biden and Trump playing Minecraft
RLM is the shoegaze of film reviews
Jay, massive respect for confirming nothing bad happens to the cat. My man 👊
Visual sarcasm is such a perfect term for The Substance
The dumbest thing about Trap is that you can't just prevent 10k people from leaving an arena to try to catch one guy. They even bring up that if someone pulls the fire alarm they still won't let people leave like wtf that would be a billion dollar class action lawsuit.
Not to mention the fact that crowded venues like that can result in a crowd crush, even when there aren't people blocking the exits
The nazis did it
It’s pretty dumb to trap 10k innocent people in with a faceless mass murderer too.
@@Basshead004crowd crush is the real horror!
Any Americans paying to see a Taylor Swift-esque singer would be too dumb to know their rights let alone have the intellect to hire a lawyer.
It's a shame Mike didn't see the Substance because I would have loved to see more in depth talk about some of the later scenes, I hope they do a Half in the Bag for it
I don't think he's that crazy about body horror stuff. And since the plot itself is not particularly fresh or interesting (besides the fact it's almost poetic how a younger, more beautiful version of you would treat YOU like crap) it would probably be just a "meh."
@@Gustavo_PerezRamirez right so anyway I hope we hear Mike’s take on it and not some fan’s projection agreeing with himself lol
Probably more likely to get a review in 30 years with Jay and Jack than a HITB on it
I thought much fun. Colourful, some funny bits, the actors were all acting their all - I didn't see it as that deep either, subtext is for cowards; but hey the end, chef's kiss, so fun!
@@Gustavo_PerezRamirez I think it's a bit short sighted to say that, because the plot of a movie isn't brand new, never before seen (which I guess would make almost every movie 'meh' since most of our stories are iterations and interpretations on very similar themes most of the time), that the presentation of those themes has nothing interesting to dissect and evaluate. Whether it's something someone enjoyed or not, it's been a long time since I've seen a movie with such clear, unique directorial vision and incredible effects work. I'm a big body horror fan and have become desensitized to a lot of it, but the sound design and visual effects of things like the seeping wound on Elizabeth's back had me cringing
I also think that the theming has hit different people in different ways, which I'd love to see discussed. The obvious interpretation is of the violence we inflict on the self as we compare and consistently fall short to society's expectations, particularly against the beauty industry, but I've seen others mention the possibility of it being an interpretation of a maternal role. A mother giving herself in her entirety to her children, hoping to live vicariously through them, but ultimately finding that secondary role unfulfilling and wasting the life they do still have left resenting that fact. Elizabeth still could have lived her life as a 'mother', but it couldn't have been exactly how she wanted. So instead of seeking things in new avenues to fulfill her as a person, she withdraws and places all of her worth onto Sue
Or, another interpretation, is how we take from ourselves when we're young and are short sighted to the life that waits for us. Sue quite literally neglects her body in favor of pushing her career, sex, and seeking to fulfill the need to be loved, even though she knows it will catch up with her. And in a way a lot of us do that in smaller doses, day by day. We do it when eat junk food instead of cooking healthy, or don't exercise because it's unpleasant, or neglect our social and mental health because withdrawal is easier. And even knowing what Elizabeth gave up for her, Sue mocks Elizabeth's age and seeks to distance herself from that other self, even though as the movie hammers home 'you are one'. We will all age but most of us when we are or were young, still other that distant self that we'll see at 50 or 60 and beyond, trying to ignore the realities of life and the inevitability of aging while perpetuating an environment that makes those years of people's lives more unpleasant and dehumanizing.
Another still is pretty on the nose but not the interpretation most people go for; drug use and addiction. Being Sue is an addiction, the more she abuses it, the more her body suffers and decays, but even knowing and experiencing what it does to her after the 'high' wears off, she continues to abuse it. I think it's a less interesting take than the others, but I wonder how many of us would still give into those vices if we saw what impact they would have not within months to years, but within one week.
38:26 - The original Speak No Evil is about 80% in English since the Danish protagonists are visiting Dutch characters.
I haven't seen the remake so I don't know if this is done in the new version as well, but I really liked in the 2022 Speak No Evil that, when the host family is speaking Dutch, we don't get subtitles, but when the Danish family is speaking Danish, we do. I love it when a movie isn't afraid to alienate their audience just a bit to make them stew a bit in their uncertainty
Great movie to watch "stoned"
@@ReighnDrac I've just watched them both back to back and the remake almost feels like a fanfiction who didn't agree with the ending of the original. The remake also fails to build up that looming dread credibly; in the original when they first want to leave you completely understand why they're unsettled, I didn't feel that as much in the remake, which also lacks the cinematographic shots that back up that dread and feeling of helplessness. Some of the minute changes didn't really make sense, like the dad not finding the bunny in the beginning and not having the line: "That's very heroic of you." said to him.
And the lost in translation stuff is completely absent, because they're both from English speaking countries. Even though I'm dutch and I understood them, it's not necessary because you can pick up on the passive-aggressive tone. Having the couples able to communicate with eachother without the other couple knowing what they're saying, opens the door for a disconnect between the words spoken and the expressions on their faces, which plays well with the theme of wearing a metaphorical mask during social interactions.
I do recommend watching them both. First the original then the remake, just to cleanse the palet a bit of the utterly depressing end of the original.
@@ReighnDrac It definitely added to the paranoia, yes. As a Norwegian, I understand Danish, but the Dutch characters felt so sinister because their dialogue was constantly kept in secresy.
I also think much of the cultural context of the og fly way over the heads of American audiences, which is why the remake seemed a bit too "safe" in my opinion. It's a good film, but I wasn't surprised they changed THAT ending.
@@deltav864 The bizarre thing about changing the ending is that, in the original, the ending is the whole point of the movie. It might not make a lot of sense plot-wise, but it is the metaphor that embodies the whole idea of the film. I think it's probably even the reason why the movie is called 'Speak No Evil', as it shows the ultimate consequences of avoiding and ignoring danger as we have (supposedly) grown used to doing in our cushy, safe, modern society.
To remove that ending is almost to deplete the movie of its main theme. I mean, I know that this is what sometimes happens with remakes, but still, I find it so frustrating.
Thank you for reppin' The First Omen, been trying to get people to see it but it's been kind of hard to sell people on lol
I watched it right after I watched this vid because I was intrigued by the concept and boy howdy it is disturbing and I loved it! Some of the imagery is still sticking with me and that is a sign of great horror for me
24:13 love Jay's Borat impression here. Unexpected but welcome
22:55 RLM has been so traumatized by audio corruption/issues that you can see their two main editors in this moment check their mics. I have seen them do it many times individually, but it is hilarious to me to watch Mike double check his, and then Jay notice and immediately check his own. Possibly a nervous tic to add to your RLM drinking game.
Such a tiny, tiny detail to pick up on, you sniped these dudes lmao

Also from Toronto, it was hilarious seeing the trailer and figuring out the city in about 3 seconds and the Rogers Centre.
@@zakwan10 I'm from Toronto but I didn't recognize it at all, I found out in the comments 😂 To be fair, I haven't lived there since I was a kid…
I Saw the TV Glow was such an important movie to me when I first saw it with my friend, I made an appointment with a gender care specialist immediately after the credits rolled. It’s a very, VERY vulnerable and beautiful depiction of feelings I had myself growing up about not wanting to be masculine at all. It really means a lot to me that you guys connected with it, even if the trans metaphors didn’t apply to you at all. It was just really nice to see men who look like my father actually understand the movie and applaud it for what it accomplished/represents
I’m so happy you talked about “I Saw The TV Glow”
It's good to see Jay's finally out of prison
Don't get too excited, he's only on parole. Won't last long.
@@KarlTheExpert Especially when they find where he buried Rich.
@@KarlTheExpert He wouldn't want to last long outside. Prison is like The Manhole but 24/7.
He was great in Romper Stomper.
I can tell you why the tv show in The Substance is an aerobic show. In France there was a short period of time in the 80's when an aerobic show was a tv hit. It was called Gym Tonic. The end credit was the two female presenters taking a shower, nude. There is absolutely no doubt Coralie Fargeat saw that show growing up in France.
That's interesting! I think she singled out Jane Fonda's exercise tapes as an influence but a local/regional influence for her would make sense too.
Canada had the "20 Min Workout" which had 3 fitness instructors in a circle with a rotating camera and lots of butt closeups
@@luciuswhite4502 Well it's something that american can relate to, it makes sense she would talk about it during her promo tour rather than a french show nobody has heard of outside of the country. And it is probable that she used it to prepare for the movie. But I have little doubt Gym Tonic is her original inspiration.
That explains the aerobic show and the overly sexualize nature of Sue's chracter. Being an American, I initially thought it was heavily inspired by Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons and other fitness programs during 80's-90's lol
Are those end credits on RUclips?
“The Pink Opaque” is the name of a Cocteau Twins compilation album (& their first US release from 1984), so perfectly appropriate for them to call the film Shoegaze. (& for those who don’t know the album, it’s amazing.)
And the 'TV show I remember that might not have existed' is one of the seasons of Channel Zero, IIRC.
This, even though they are more dream pop, description is on point
Went through a Cocteau Twins phase maybe ten years ago. Haven't listened in a while. Good stuff.
@@Hunrakku3 Which was from a creepy pasta
@@aridale Yeah, I think all the seasons of Channel Zero originated from Creepypastas... though with lots of elements changed/added.
Interesting that you describe I Saw the TV Glow as 'shoegazey', because The Pink Opaque was the name of a Cocteau Twins compilation album.
I just want to point out that the Candy Man actor passed a day after Mike mentioned the Bloody Mary urban legend, which it was inspired by. Damn you RLM, you did it again!
Watching the Substance had me like: "Oh, ok. So now Troma movies win Cannes!"
I enjoyed it because ass and tiddys
Is that a good or a bad thing?
and for best screenplay at that....
It's glorious!
Watched it because of Jay. Thought it was boring and absolutely derivative, sooo many tv series have done this "cloning/dreaming/hacking gone wrong" lately... Seen this all before, and better.
THE BATMAN mentioned, obviously a review must be coming up in the next HitB
My Trap rewrite was thus: They should've kept the initial premise of "criminal trapped in concert while the cops close in", where we know that the main character is a criminal... but the twist is that he's not the Butcher. It then becomes his task to identify and reveal who the Butcher is so that the cops leave before he gets caught and inspected, so you'd have this cat-and-mouse game between the two crims and the law enforcement.
This is exactly what I thought the movie was going to be after watching the trailer. What a disappointment.
@@claytonreeves150 pretty much every single plot twist recommendation in this video and in the comments has been miles better than what Shyamalan did.
That being said, the movie gave me tons of laughs, so I had a great time watching it.
That'd be even more convoluted tbh
Also could have been interesting if you think it’s the dad the whole time, but really it’s his daughter who is the killer and he is just trying to help her get away because he loves her so much that he would protect her from anything, even consequences. Could have been a good commentary on how people enable the bad behavior and crimes of those they care about and in a way become guilty themselves by association.
Isn't that the plot to snake eyes?
Im convinced Trap was just a vehicle for M Night to be like “See music industry; my daughter is very talented and pretty. Hire her.”
I didn't expect that jumpscare, even though you just talked about it seconds before. It really got me, and now I want to see the movie.
First movie on the best of list: "embarrassingly stupid." Perfect way to start.
“Is this a horror film or just a disgusting drama?” may be one of my new favorite Jay quotes.
Nailed it honestly.
I wanted the fake out to be the husband is the helper and the real twist is the wife is the killer. Unfortunately it wasn’t a real movie, it was commercial for his daughter’s music career.
When I saw the trailer, I assumed the daughter was the killer and he was scrambling to protect her. I figured that was the "Shyamalan twist"
My protip for predicting twist endings is to try to find the moral of the story, the twist will reinforce that moral
Honestly I respect M. Night's shameless hustle here. Yeah the movie is an extended, self-financed advert for his daughter's music career. Sounds like a great dad to me! (Also underwriting his other daughter's directorial efforts with "The Watchers," which was far worse than Trap.)
@@catastropheoverclock What was the moral here? Don’t try to shove your family down the audience’s throats?
@@catastropheoverclocki mean, you say ideally, but it doesn't happen always, to say the least. Sometimes filmmakers kinda don't know what they're trying to do themselves, they miss the theme, they miss the idea
Watched both Oddity and The Substance tonight. Both are fantastic.
Jay: "This is best movie I have ever seen."
Well that is a fricking scary notion.
I described "Trap" to a friend of mine as the equivalent of Rebecca Black's vanity music video "Friday," but in feature film format.
That's exactly what I was thinking of. Well spotted.

I really liked I Saw The TV Glow
I Saw The TV Glow has to be one of my all time favorite movies just for perfectly encapsulating the feeling of being asthmatic and having no friends!
I stopped this video to go and watch it so I wouldn’t be spoiled. When he says near the end, “I have my own family now” I didn’t believe that for one second. Felt like the character said that only because it was the expected thing to say next. No way he could have faked normalcy enough for that to happen.
@@LuneowlOwen is holding an unboxed TV when he says that. That’s when I knew that he was referring to television shows and not an actual family.

Trap was absolutely deliberate. That was the Shyamalan twist! You thought you were about to see a thriller but instead you got a parody.
honestly thats most of his movies. i remember watching Signs after hearing about it for years in 2012 and thought it was a great comedy cuz it made me laugh so much with how silly it would be

"Diddy Party" is actually a great name for a horror movie.
Yk I read this comment three times. The first time I read it and thought nothing of it. The second time I started to understand. Yes, the Diddy Party. The third time is when I realized the brilliance in its simplicity. The "Diddy Party", I can see it now, but what would it be? A24 or Mubi? Would the horror be silly, sad, or sick and mad? Who would produce it and where would it land? So many questions left in the wind like sand.

The Substance was awesome. As someone who loves Cronenberg and Lovecraft this one even turned my stomach. Not sure which version I saw or what rating it got but I can see why people would walk out on it. Definitely not me. It just got more and more grotesque. The clip of giant Eddie Murphy really isn't that far from the truth. Both female leads were great.
Jay, they already made a series of horror movies based on Mouse Trap, they're called Final Destination.

@@danielbarrero2815Not enough brainworms tho.
Wow, they sure like hiring men for that position!
In Trap the smartest character is "only clever if everyone else is dumb" because the smartest character is written by Shyamalan. Which really puts a cap on the overall intelligence of the world.
When I was watching it it felt like something a 12 year old wrote. So stupid.
It's so funny that the Substance is so blunt and people still miss the point of the movie and talk about wanting the substance in real life lol.
Honestly just so fucking happy they even talked about I Saw The Tv Glow.
Me too, it prompted me to watch it, and it's become one of my favourite films of all time.
I've always said that the Nepo Baby thing doesn't bother me unless it is the parent forcing their kids upon the audience. Like I don't give a shit that Andie McDowell's daughter is in The Substance, because she's not playing the younger, hotter version of her mom. M. Night forcing the audience to listen to ten minutes of his daughter's singing is the absolute peak of awful Nepo Baby bullshit.
Could have been worse: ten minutes of dialogue written by Shyamalan.
I admire the purity of the promo and the absolute balls to go that hard with it
Didn't know who her mom was, I only know her as Mama/Lockne from Death Stranding
If a nepo baby is hired because they're a nepo baby it means another actor was denied the role, it's inherently unfair

I didn't know you guys did Horror reviews. Love it!
My Trap rewrite was that, halfway through the film, the protagonist turns to the camera (while M Knight is standing next to him) and tells us -the audience- "I'm not trapped in here with the police - YOU'RE trapped in here with HER (gesturing to Lady Whatsit)".
It's still a horror movie, but you have to hear even more of the songs from start to finish, the video won't turn off no matter what - somehow) and at the end the police kick down your door in real life and force you to buy CDs and merch. Then, in a massive twist, the camera pulls back from all of THAT, and it turns out you're the actual audience for the audience that's watching Lady Thingy.
Then you wake up screaming, when you realize M Knight is now filming YOU being the protagonist of a new film about trying to get out of a multi-level 'M.Knightmare' where you are always pulling back one removal from the previous group of characters you were watching.
Send money.
The Pink Opaque is a Cocteau Twins reference, so yes shoegaze
I liked how Trap just uses the Friday 13th method and completely ignores the impossibility of some feats. Like the limo escape into the crowd is identical to Jason only being seen walking but somehow appearing ahead of characters running away from him. It doesn't matter how he escaped the limo. It only matters that it happened and the chase continues, the plot pushes onward and will not stop to answer your questions, so sit back and have fun.
Well sit back, at least
It's a lot easier to make some feats plausible despite their impossibility if you are dealing with a supernatural force of evil instead of a not-so-clever family man, though.
Exactly. Too often people seem to for some reason watch movies as a way to enjoy perfect realism. Sometimes movies are just fun and for entertainment and you’re not meant to analyze it to figure out if it is a realistic fully grounded display before you can enjoy it.
M. Night is one of the most misunderstood filmmakers out there, his movies are all just extended twilight zone episodes, where you’re not meant to have a full explanation that makes sense, it’s just “this is the world this story takes place in, deal with it and enjoy the ride”
@@samlibutti Yes, but terrifyingly, for a long time old Knight-y seemed to be operating under the delusion that he's a top-shelf A-level filmmaker, and not a genre hack-type filmmaker. It was only after his true colors came out with Lady In The Water (which is literally about critics not understanding genius(!) and The Happening (which is weaponized Ebola presented as film - only a hemorrhagic fever outbreak would be more interesting) that it became incredibly obvious.
Yes, you can deal with it and "enjoy" the ride, but I don't think *he* thinks that. I think he thinks he's very very clever indeed, and making art.
And... he ain't.
That said, he's more successful than I am, so it's probably just rampant jealously on my part, or taste, or something... I mean, I couldn't get through his last two films, so...
@@samlibutti Nice try.
The worst part of Trap is they try to pass him off as charming everyone, but he’s never charming at all. He just acts creepy and extremely suspicious the whole time.
"white male in his 30s" - Hartnett is in his 40s and looks it.
I Saw the TV Glow is one of the best movies I've seen that I never want to see again. It's so gorgeous and unique and hypnotizing, but so overwhelmingly, crushingly sad the entire run time. I appreciated and respected everything it did, but I was absolutely MISERABLE when the credits started.
Amazing editing! Love how M. Night Shyamalan turns his head right when Jay talks about morons.
Last film I enjoyed with Josh hartnett was probably Lucky Number Slevin, in which his character is ACTUALLY smarter than everyone else. What a shame
I really needed this! Thank you ❤
"Shyamalan has his misses here and there."
That's quite an understatement.
The unexpected The Fugitive clips at 13:43 were edited like a mini ytp, which absolutely killed me
Mike forgetting the ending and then completely missing the point of I saw the tv glow is so funny lol
I never saw nor have interest in it, but would you be willing to tell me what the ending and point of it is? I'm curious since you mentioned it.

During the first viewing of I Saw The TV Glow in my city, when the credit for Fred Durst popped up, the audience laughed.
I had a studio note for A Quiet Place Day One. I saw many people ask why the Stranger Things guy isn't in the A Quiet Place Part Two. I suggested that the reason would be really great if it was because of a hypothetical (yet inevitable) sequel to this that tells the story of him trying to get back to the UK. It could be called "A Quiet Place 4: London Calling."
There were also overt Pete & Pete references in i saw the tv glow including cameos from them and the ice cream man is a reference to "what we did on our summer vacation" episode. though unlike the pink opaque, pete and pete still holds up
Perfect timing, i just began doomscrolling. Thanks fellas!
The movie trap feels like a movie version of the game Hitman. He puts on disguises and stuff and all the NPC's are really stupid. I'd enjoyed it for that reason.
It's still weird for me to think of Shout Factory as a legit production company, I still remember them best as the source of some of the laziest, most poorly produced English release DVD sets of Super Sentai and other Japanese superheroes around. They weren't very high on Mike's hierarchy, but it's still jarring to see their name next to things like A24 and Neon.
When Jay talks about Quiet Place Ground Zero, pretty sure the Mike shot is just a still image lol. Love it
