This movie was my first date with my wife. I had no idea what we were getting into. Amazingly, she came back for another date and we've been married for 25 years!
I was soooo afraid he was gonna miss the jump scare looking away! His, “I gotta pause the movie,” had me rolling! I completely agree that the face and little smirk for “Oh. He didn’t know,” is one of the best acted, most gut punching, blood chilling moments of cinema.
The finger print tech is Morgan Freeman son. The director didn't tell the cop who stood over the sloth victim that he was still alive so when he gasped that was the actors genuine reaction.
Fun fact--the actors weren't told that the Sloth victim was being played by an actual person and not a dummy. Their reaction to him moving was 100% genuine (and probably resulted in some therapy bills).
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about SE7EN is that very little violence is shown on screen. Really, only the death of the killer (normally, a triumphant moment, but in this movie nothing is triumphant). And in spite of never showing the murders being committed, it shows you just enough that it messes with you psychologically. That's what makes it one of the best serial killer procedurals of all time.
I genuinely didn’t think anything about this movie could make me laugh, but JL’s list of all the extra things he would do to Kevin Spacey’s dead body has me cracking up over here.
I know me too. Once he started saying all the extra stuff especially about the car and running his body over a few times I lost it and was crying laughing😂😂😂
@@83gemm I thought that myself for a long time until I took a while and thought deeper about it and now I believe that the John was, in fact, the target. The John, Lust, is a living victim, the same as Sloth and Wrath.
@@83gemm That is also a fair point, but Lust was the only one that involved a second victim and the sin of lust is typically one that requires two people (unless you're going hard core Bible) to commit. And, also, they were talking about the murders specifically.
The bladed strap-on is one of the cruelest and most depraved things ever conceptualized. The fact that it makes you feel sick just means you're a decent human being. Edit: All the many times I've seen this movie since it came out, I've never been able to blame Mills for shooting John Doe.
@@leonh.kalayjian6556, I can't entirely agree. Remember, he said he thought John Doe was a performing Artist; he probably thought it would be some statement of penetration, power, and the like. Most people who make crazy shit like that harness are thinking in a higher-meaning place.
Katherine the Great had a giant skillet for dry frying prisoners of the court, and Vlad Dracul once boiled someone and made nuns eat him. Don't get me started on the Khmer Rouge or British special forces
@@levitabusman I said it was "one of" the cruelest and most depraved things ever conceptualized. That doesn't preclude the possibility that worse things could exist.
You are special. Why? Because you don’t even know me, and yet you’re the ONLY person who can CONSISTENTLY (not just once OR twice) not only make me laugh, which isn’t easy; but also make me laugh when I couldn’t have anticipated laughing. It’s such a personal thing that it fascinates me.
I occasionally bounce around RUclips to watch reactions to the end scene of this movie and I have to say... hands down the funniest freakin' reaction I have seen yet! You had me at "shoot him in the face" and I couldn't stop laughing after that. Plus, your dog in the background passed the f out??? Thank you for the laughs, I really needed it today. You definitely earned this sub! Cheers.
I love the "rewatch-ability" of his movies. My favourites from Se7en are 1) Morgan Freeman listing the 7 deadly sins and looking at Brad Pitt when he says Envy, 2) Brad losing his temper and kicking in the apartment door (Anger, punctuated by JL saying "he's a hothead!)
@@thatguymark8381 yeah in my mind the killer is the Envy murder and later on when Det. Mills either is executed by the state or kills himself he becomes the Wrath murder. i can see the argument that the wife/baby are the Envy murder but they aren't sinners and by his own admission the killer is the Sin of Envy. he wants David to "become Wrath" but then the sinner needs to die. so i mean this doesn't really matter but the fact that it keeps me thinking it over every time i watch it proves the strength of the storytelling.
@@lafountain40 i suspect there's a lot more going on behind the scenes with that. there's so many good shows that just get dropped because someone higher up in the office got replaced. it happens all the time and always has. look at Archive 81 or any number of interesting shows, meanwhile look at the trash that keeps getting season after season. it's a tragedy and i don't blame the directors or actors for moving on. i'm still salty over SGU.
@@stegwise I was kidding because I was super into mind hunter. It essentially got derailed because of COVID and I believe Fincher said something like it wasn't worth the financial burden it would take to get it going again.
On the audio commentary, David Fincher told how the super skinny guy (the Sloth "victim") walked through New York City in full costume and makeup. Nobody batted an eye, barely anyone even looked at him. Detroit may be hell. New York City is purgatory.
Leland Orser (the Lust survivor) gives an incredible one-scene performance. He's been on my radar since Seven and I love seeing him pop up here and there.
“Then if you do kill me, don’t shoot yourself. I need somebody to whoop your ass! I got some family members coming!” I love that. That’s a good one. 😂😂😂
Yes. The smile at the end is evil. He isn't so happy about killing g the wife though.. he is happy that he has chopped away at the psyche of the detective even more and is closer to being killed and completing his task and proving his point(in his mind)
Nobody dodges bullets better than you do JL!!! Loved this reaction. It had everything that made me love your style the first time I watched a reaction of yours. The fact that you said “What’s in the box?”, the most used quote of this movie right before it was spoken by Pitt was just epic! Great job, as always, with this masterful edit Blank! Nothing but love and respect!
@@christoffesedao3579 Yeah, I was waiting for Brad Pitt to say it as I was imitating it like I normally do when I watch it, or my wife gets a package. Then I just lost my shit laughing when he said it. Oh yeah, those scenes when he jumps, ducks or dodges a car speeding by or anything else after a scene cut are what make him the most enjoyable reactor to watch.
Fun Fact: if you re-watch the Wild Bill Leather Shop scene you can see something odd. Keep looking outside the window behind Mills and Somerset. You'll notice a man approach the window. A man in a trench coat with a limp holding an umbrella. He even moves closer to the window and he's just watching Mills and Somerset. Wild Bill is even remarking that the client who ordered the blade strap-on had a limp. He's there the entire scene just watching. Mills even turns a looks at him. It's John, they just don't know his face. He even turns away from the window and walks away as Mills and Somerset exit.
this movie, once you watch it, it lives rent free in your head. It horrified me completely and scared me to death and I consider it horror not a thriller, but I will admit it was brilliant. Spacey is a brilliant actor no matter what you think of him personally
Your speechless reaction at the end had me laughing hysterically! This film does a number on anyone watching it for the first time. It's the film that officially turned me into a movie fanatic when I saw it in the theater back in '95!
Oh this is going to be good. I can't wait to see your reaction. Oh Lord. I knew from the moment you said "WTF am I watching" before the intro was even finished rolling. 🤣
Lol dude! You can’t execute a suspect who’s still presumed to be innocent, unarmed and handcuffed in police custody.😂 The law tends to frown on that. “I’m trying to tell you I admire you. And your pretty wife, Tracy.” Line gives me chills everytime.
See the quiet you exhibited at the end?…In 1995, I saw Se7en in the theaters with an ex-girlfriend. We missed the beginning of whatever we went to see, so we decided to see Se7en instead without knowing much about it. The theater was packed. At the end, the audience was so quiet that it was awkward for everyone leaving the theater. We were all in shock and walking out in stunned silence. That movie stayed with me for a while after I watched it. I read that the end was actually supposed to be Brad Pitt’s characters dog’s head in the box, but Brad and Gwyneth Paltrow were dating while this was being filmed. Someone put the idea of Gwyneth’s head being in the box out there as a joke and Brad Pitt liked the idea so much that he threatened to walk off the set if the producers didn’t allow the change to make it Gwyneth’s head in the box. Great reaction as always! 🍻
🍿 *HEY MURDER WHISTLE* Most people try to say this is a dark movie and that the bad guy wins. . . . But there is a deeper message right in front of us in this film. In the beginning and throughout the movie Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is very cynical and has pretty much given up on hope. But at the very end he says that "he'll be around", and that the world is still worth fighting for. This movie brings me much hope because in my life and career i've had to see a lot of really bad things. But I identify with Somerset. Although he has witnessed so many terrible things in this life, at the end he chooses hope and does not give up. That is a big statement. Thanks for all you, Blank, and the Co-pilots do 🙏
@@IAmHumongous Sorry I’m just now responding. Yes, it does seem like it was John Do’s plan to wake people up to how much we tolerate terrible things, and to possibly inspire people to do better. However, Somerset still knows that the way John Do preached this message was still self serving, murderous, and evil. John Do even admits to this in the car ride, that he took pleasure in his so called “holy” work. So Somerset could easily just add Do’s disgusting actions to all the other evils Somerset has witnessed in his career that have worn his Hope down. Somerset was not impressed by Do’s motivation because it was still evil despite there being some truth in the message. So even after enduring the deep and methodical evils of Do, Somerset still made a huge life decision in the end to choose hope and still fight for what is good 🙏
I was WAAY too young the first time I saw this movie and watched it a lot without realizing how incredible it was, it was on cable a lot back in the 90s believe it or not, but I mean I can watch it over and over again today and the result is the same, drained and still baffled at how this thing came to be. It's not an easy film to watch but my God is it worth that uncomfort to experience actual cinematic masterpieces.
This was the very first R rated horror film I saw on theaters with my older brother and sister, and even though its a neo noir psychological thriller, I consider this to be a horror film. The scene where they find the victim in the bed, not knowing he was still alive, was #26 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
I used to write a weekly column for a now defunct horror related website. One was dedicated to SE7EN and other movies that are undeniably horror films, regardless of their genre trappings.
Please Stand Bye 🎶🎵🎶 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I needed that❤ When i saw J was watching this my first thought was "That poor man...hes gonna be traumatized for life" ❤Love the channel❤
I just watched Seven for the first time myself recently. It's definitely a weird watch knowing how horrible Kevin Spacey is in real life. That being said I think it's an incredible movie. Pitt & Morgan do such a great job. Panic Room is probably my most favorite David Fincher movie though. It would be cool to see a reaction to that one in the future.
Oh man. Seeing you just sit there well into the end credits not saying a word, deep in thought. Man this movie really got in your head! That was pretty much reaction as well the first time I saw it. It’s dangerous yet inevitable to let this movie in your head and get you thinking. I hope you felt better after your palette cleanser. Lol
Another good movie with Brad Pitt from around this same time is Sleepers. It's an underrated movie, but has a great cast, including DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Bacon, and Minnie Driver. I think you'd enjoy it immensely.
I'm not gonna lie, it took me about 3 years after seeing this movie to be able to watch it again! I've seen it several times since, but it still mind-fucks me even knowing what happens. Great reaction!
Great reaction, thanks so much for sharing. When me and my friends watched this when it came out, we left the theater in various states of "That was amazing!' and "WTF did we just watch?" Such a good movie and all the actors just nailed their marks. Someone else will probably comment on this, but if I'm not mistaken Brad Pitt actually hurt that arm during that chase. Next time you hear 'What's in the box!?" Your mind will flash here. 🐾
JL you didn't disappoint. I know I'm not the only one who was waiting for the Victor scenes, and of course the ending. When Victor jumped that scare the crap out of me the first time I watched the movie. I have this on DVD and one of the extras is you can read all of John Doe's notebooks. I have no idea how long it would take to read them because I gave up after ten minutes. JL for me this is one of your best reactions. I can't wait to finish out the week.
The second that "Pinetree bed scene" started I started smiling with anticipation. "oh you not gonna like this one".. I had a shit day and your reaction had me howling with laughter, thank you I needed that.
I knew this was gonna be a tough one. My husband and his nephew saw this movie in the theater, and nobody really knew how intense it was. After they watched it they felt so disturbed they turned around and bought 2 more tickets, to Braveheart. As a mental palate cleanser.
Interesting Fact, The character of David Mills was first offered to Denzel Washington he turned it down because he though it was to dark So Brad Pitt stepped in and gave a great performance.
Fun fact- initially, Gwyneth Paltrow’s head was meant to be shown on screen. Therefore, a prop replica of her severed head was made. However, Brad Pitt was adamant that Tracy’s head should remain off-camera, allowing audiences to picture the gruesome sight in their heads (a wise decision). So, the replica of Paltrow’s head was lost to time, shoveled off to some warehouse. And that is where it stayed until Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Contagion’ found a use for it. Paltrow’s character is one of the first victims of the deadly virus around which the movie is based. Her character dies quite early into the proceedings, and we’re shown a rather gnarly autopsy sequence featuring, - no prizes for guessing - the replica of Gwyneth Paltrow’s head, initially created for ‘Se7en’. What a journey for Paltrow’s severed head. Made for ‘Se7en’ and then discarded without use, it waited for 15 long years to traumatize all who would lay their eyes upon it. After 15 long years of waiting, we finally got to see “What’s in the box.”
Ok. I’m not one to watch this movie on the regular. But when I saw that YOU were reacting to it? I’m with your friends and grabbing some popcorn! I’m only 7 minutes in but so far this is center of the plate funny.
I enjoy hearing that you have people in your life that give ongoing support for your work and overall pursuits. That’s the type of friends I wish every person to have. The world would be a better place. Good hearts that build each other up.
Fun fact, Brad Pitt broke his hand during the filming part of him coming down the fire ladder he landed on it you can see his face in pain after that and why you see his hand in his shirt and after that you see it in a cast, they had to rewrite the movie for his broken hand..
I like move reactions and I have NEVER seen a movie be stopped midway. If there was a movie that you needed to stop half-half... this would be the one.
This is def one of the creepiest movies. U did good gettin' thru the rough stuff. Thanx so much, had a lot of fun watchin'. Take care, snuggle for the puppies. Peace
Your reaction to Sloth. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was the best! Imagine being 18 when this movie came out and being excited to see it, only to be forever disturbed by it 😂😂😂
You have no idea how long I've WAITED for this day. I've been wanting you to see this since "Silence of the Lambs". It's a fantastic movie. It's literally the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. At least for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Saw this in the theater when it was released. I want you to picture for a moment, not having the ability to pause this 💩 and attempt to absorb things. That experience traumatized me, and a feeling of despair stayed with me for weeks.
Kevin Spacey may be a piece of crap but no one can deny he is a fabulous actor. The 1999 film "American Beauty" won Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor (Kevin Spacey), Best Film is exceptional. I highly recommend it.
Spacey was untouchable in the mid 90’s, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, A Time to Kill, American Beauty, The Negotiator, Pay it Forward, all amazing..
Just because he was cleared in court doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it. Guilty people go free all the time, while innocent get jailed. The man (Spacey) raped/molested a teenaged boy (14 yrs old at the time), the man is slime!@@valuepack2
I saw this movie in the theater, and when the audience realizes what's in the box? the sense of dread and shock in the theater was amazing, just stunned silence.
“ where the fuck is Morgan Freeman at? His old ass can’t do a foot race.” 😂😂😂😂😂I paused and laughed for ten minutes
When you said ‘I know you all are laughing, shut up’ I was. Guilty as charged. 😂
This movie was my first date with my wife. I had no idea what we were getting into. Amazingly, she came back for another date and we've been married for 25 years!

I feel like there are going to be a lot of jump scares, and “shut up” comments on this one. Can’t wait!
Can't wait to see his reaction to the Sloth victim.
I can't wait for the end of the movie.
Beat me to it
a lot of "UUUUUUURGH 🤢"
Sounds like fun!
This is the first movie time I’ve ever seen him take 2 breaks during a movie to comprehend the scenes! Lol best reactor hands down!
Yeah he is so honest . . . .I respect that he took breaks. . . you kind of have to with this film on first watch
I wish more reactors would pause to give their thoughts.

There was one other time he had to take 2 breaks... it was for the Exorcist.

The "lust" murder had to be the most traumatizing death for me
And we never see anything of it really. We only get a look at the harness and then the survivor's story. Absolutely chilling.

"What's in the box", lol Brad Pitt 😂😂😂
Leland Orser (the Lust survivor) gives an incredible one-scene performance. He's been on my radar since Seven and I love seeing him pop up here and there.
I always know of him from his appearances on Married With Children back in the early 90s
He was great in The Bone Collector with Denzel
It used to drive me crazy seeing him in Saving Private Ryan and trying to figure out where I'd seen him until I remembered this movie.
@@stanmann356 Yes, he was the glider pilot that they encountered, who gave them the bag of dog tags that some of them started playing "poker" with.
Same.

Someone put the idea of Gwyneth’s head being in the box out there as a joke and Brad Pitt liked the idea so much that he threatened to walk off the set if the producers didn’t allow the change to make it Gwyneth’s head in the box. Great reaction as always! 🍻
I love how your co-pilot started wagging the tail as soon as you said “let’s get it!”
I can’t believe you literally said “what’s in the box?” over and over🤣
🍿 *HEY MURDER WHISTLE* Most people try to say this is a dark movie and that the bad guy wins. . . . But there is a deeper message right in front of us in this film. In the beginning and throughout the movie Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is very cynical and has pretty much given up on hope. But at the very end he says that "he'll be around", and that the world is still worth fighting for. This movie brings me much hope because in my life and career i've had to see a lot of really bad things. But I identify with Somerset. Although he has witnessed so many terrible things in this life, at the end he chooses hope and does not give up. That is a big statement. Thanks for all you, Blank, and the Co-pilots do 🙏
Isn't that Johns plan, though? To wake people up from their apathy and for them to start fighting to save the world?
Hope? Hope is a shitty pipe dream.
I agree.
@@IAmHumongousHow do you save the world by torturing and murdering people? That’s f**ked up.
@@IAmHumongous Sorry I’m just now responding. Yes, it does seem like it was John Do’s plan to wake people up to how much we tolerate terrible things, and to possibly inspire people to do better. However, Somerset still knows that the way John Do preached this message was still self serving, murderous, and evil. John Do even admits to this in the car ride, that he took pleasure in his so called “holy” work. So Somerset could easily just add Do’s disgusting actions to all the other evils Somerset has witnessed in his career that have worn his Hope down. Somerset was not impressed by Do’s motivation because it was still evil despite there being some truth in the message. So even after enduring the deep and methodical evils of Do, Somerset still made a huge life decision in the end to choose hope and still fight for what is good 🙏
Right off the bat I need to say that this is your greatest thumbnail yet. 10/10
Oh man, this is one of the best films I wish I'd never seen 😱😱😱 I bet there were a lot of pupper cuddles after this one.
I was WAAY too young the first time I saw this movie and watched it a lot without realizing how incredible it was, it was on cable a lot back in the 90s believe it or not, but I mean I can watch it over and over again today and the result is the same, drained and still baffled at how this thing came to be. It's not an easy film to watch but my God is it worth that uncomfort to experience actual cinematic masterpieces.
This was the very first R rated horror film I saw on theaters with my older brother and sister, and even though its a neo noir psychological thriller, I consider this to be a horror film.
The scene where they find the victim in the bed, not knowing he was still alive, was #26 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
It also served as my intro to David Bowie, oddly enough lol
This is a rough mfer for your first time.
I used to write a weekly column for a now defunct horror related website. One was dedicated to SE7EN and other movies that are undeniably horror films, regardless of their genre trappings.
>no mention of Pitt or even Spacey
Shaine, what happened? You're dropping the ball.
Such an incredibly well made movie. Amazing writing, directing and acting. Disturbing, but brilliant. Great reaction.
Please
Stand
Bye
🎶🎵🎶
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I needed that❤
When i saw J was watching this my first thought was "That poor man...hes gonna be traumatized for life"
❤Love the channel❤
31:50 Rent wasn't bad in the 90s; you rented if you needed to save money. Now, rent is 50% of your check.
Can’t wait for the “oh that’s nasty” and all the shut ups lol
I just watched Seven for the first time myself recently. It's definitely a weird watch knowing how horrible Kevin Spacey is in real life. That being said I think it's an incredible movie. Pitt & Morgan do such a great job. Panic Room is probably my most favorite David Fincher movie though. It would be cool to see a reaction to that one in the future.
Oh man. Seeing you just sit there well into the end credits not saying a word, deep in thought. Man this movie really got in your head! That was pretty much reaction as well the first time I saw it. It’s dangerous yet inevitable to let this movie in your head and get you thinking. I hope you felt better after your palette cleanser. Lol
This film is so damn evil lmao
Another good movie with Brad Pitt from around this same time is Sleepers. It's an underrated movie, but has a great cast, including DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Bacon, and Minnie Driver. I think you'd enjoy it immensely.
Yeah, _Sleepers_ is amazing.
And with Jason Patrick . . . Yeah Sleepers needs more exposure . . Great Film
Definitely!
It's so way up there on my list of suggestions... it's killing me no channel has gotten around to it.
I'm not gonna lie, it took me about 3 years after seeing this movie to be able to watch it again! I've seen it several times since, but it still mind-fucks me even knowing what happens. Great reaction!
every time this pops up in my streaming feed i'm like "oh yeah what a great movie. nope."
This is pretty much the same reaction all of us who saw this for the first time had. Welcome to the club.
Great reaction, thanks so much for sharing. When me and my friends watched this when it came out, we left the theater in various states of "That was amazing!' and "WTF did we just watch?" Such a good movie and all the actors just nailed their marks. Someone else will probably comment on this, but if I'm not mistaken Brad Pitt actually hurt that arm during that chase. Next time you hear 'What's in the box!?" Your mind will flash here. 🐾
There's a short list of movies that are pure, unadulterated peak 90's. Se7en is near the top of it.
I remember seeing this in the theater.....I came out of the theater literally shaking. I just was so disturbed by this film.
Your face at the end when you are stewing on the movie is priceless. Make that into a shirt or sticker asap.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX??? 🤯🤯🤯
I’m gonna be honest, I thought you would scream when “sloth” woke up in the bed. Us assholes have desensitized you 😂
JL you didn't disappoint. I know I'm not the only one who was waiting for the Victor scenes, and of course the ending. When Victor jumped that scare the crap out of me the first time I watched the movie. I have this on DVD and one of the extras is you can read all of John Doe's notebooks. I have no idea how long it would take to read them because I gave up after ten minutes. JL for me this is one of your best reactions. I can't wait to finish out the week.
The city doesn't have a name, which I think makes the film even scarier
Two more great movies with Morgan Freeman are Along Came a Spider and Kiss The Girls. They're both crime/suspense movies.
Yeah they are based on the Alex Cross novels by James Patterson.
@@opinionladyy This really seemed like it could have been a Patterson novel.
The second that "Pinetree bed scene" started I started smiling with anticipation. "oh you not gonna like this one".. I had a shit day and your reaction had me howling with laughter, thank you I needed that.
I knew this was gonna be a tough one.
My husband and his nephew saw this movie in the theater, and nobody really knew how intense it was. After they watched it they felt so disturbed they turned around and bought 2 more tickets, to Braveheart. As a mental palate cleanser.
35:46 The unconscious rocking back and forth = entirely understandable
Interesting Fact,
The character of David Mills was first offered to Denzel Washington he turned it down because he though it was to dark
So Brad Pitt stepped in and gave a great performance.
Fun fact- initially, Gwyneth Paltrow’s head was meant to be shown on screen. Therefore, a prop replica of her severed head was made.
However, Brad Pitt was adamant that Tracy’s head should remain off-camera, allowing audiences to picture the gruesome sight in their heads (a wise decision).
So, the replica of Paltrow’s head was lost to time, shoveled off to some warehouse. And that is where it stayed until Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Contagion’ found a use for it.
Paltrow’s character is one of the first victims of the deadly virus around which the movie is based.
Her character dies quite early into the proceedings, and we’re shown a rather gnarly autopsy sequence featuring,
- no prizes for guessing - the replica of Gwyneth Paltrow’s head, initially created for ‘Se7en’.
What a journey for Paltrow’s severed head. Made for ‘Se7en’ and then discarded without use, it waited for 15 long years to traumatize all who would lay their eyes upon it.
After 15 long years of waiting, we finally got to see “What’s in the box.”
I just came by to give you a like. I saw this movie once around the time it came out and I can never watch it again, EVER.
Ok. I’m not one to watch this movie on the regular. But when I saw that YOU were reacting to it? I’m with your friends and grabbing some popcorn!
I’m only 7 minutes in but so far this is center of the plate funny.
I enjoy hearing that you have people in your life that give ongoing support for your work and overall pursuits. That’s the type of friends I wish every person to have. The world would be a better place. Good hearts that build each other up.
The Sloth reaction did NOT DISAPPOINT!
😲This should be interesting! We gonna be getting a lot of "Shuddups"🥺and grossed out 🤢🤮moments. I'm gonna pop some popcorn for this one!! 🍿😜
HOLY CRAP!!! I dont know which reaction is better!!! this OR titanic!!!.
you rock EOM!!
Fun fact, Brad Pitt broke his hand during the filming part of him coming down the fire ladder he landed on it you can see his face in pain after that and why you see his hand in his shirt and after that you see it in a cast, they had to rewrite the movie for his broken hand..
Watching this ending when I was a teenager, is the reason why I'm a huge movie buff today. I couldn't stop thinking about it or replaying it.
What you said at the end is why I love reactions. It’s a way to relive a film that’s a hard rewatch. This was a great reaction.
I like move reactions and I have NEVER seen a movie be stopped midway. If there was a movie that you needed to stop half-half... this would be the one.
This is def one of the creepiest movies. U did good gettin' thru the rough stuff. Thanx so much, had a lot of fun watchin'. Take care, snuggle for the puppies. Peace
Your reaction to Sloth. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was the best!
Imagine being 18 when this movie came out and being excited to see it, only to be forever disturbed by it 😂😂😂
You have no idea how long I've WAITED for this day. I've been wanting you to see this since "Silence of the Lambs". It's a fantastic movie. It's literally the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. At least for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
11Watch the slow ddburdn of all slow burn horror movies, " AUDITION " . ( Japanese film from about 18 years ago.)
Ohhhh the longer this went on the more I dreaded the end...ohhhhh J...
Saw this in the theater when it was released. I want you to picture for a moment, not having the ability to pause this 💩 and attempt to absorb things. That experience traumatized me, and a feeling of despair stayed with me for weeks.
Before anything I always thumbs up because I know its gonna be a terrific reaction !!
Kevin Spacey may be a piece of crap but no one can deny he is a fabulous actor. The 1999 film "American Beauty" won Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor (Kevin Spacey), Best Film is exceptional. I highly recommend it.
Spacey was untouchable in the mid 90’s, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, A Time to Kill, American Beauty,
The Negotiator, Pay it Forward, all amazing..
@Randy White yep it was Spacey & Hanks who tore up the 90’s.
I read he was cleared in court, can we like him again?
Just because he was cleared in court doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it. Guilty people go free all the time, while innocent get jailed. The man (Spacey) raped/molested a teenaged boy (14 yrs old at the time), the man is slime!@@valuepack2
@@valuepack2 >cleared
Cleared his opposition (from life), you mean? No, I'm afraid that is not considered a legitimate method of defense, my dear don.
@JL One of my top 25 favorite films of all time, and yup this movie messes you up :). Thank you to the EOM staff and all the amazing patrons.
This one never gets old...A great cast and awesome story.
I saw this movie in the theater, and when the audience realizes what's in the box? the sense of dread and shock in the theater was amazing, just stunned silence.
