    This movie was an excellent study in evil and the thing that made it so chilling was that it’s the kind of evil that’s commonplace…

    I saw this film and thought it was well done. It was, however, one of the most hideous groups of people (males in particular) that I have ever seen. I have known men (and a few women) who are very much like this. Sort of a hyper-blend of extreme narcissism and viciousness coupled with their cowardice and self-loathing.Essentially very pathetic people who know how pathetic they are, and want the world to suffer for it.
    It really was a dark film, I saw the director in an interview once, he basically said it was a dark film, and he wanted to draw attention to people like these guys, because they are real, and they are out there.

      Well, I think he won because, of the two males, he was the one who was true to himself, a 100% asshole that is. The Dorkier-looking friend had inner misgivings from the start, but still went along with it to try to impress his friend and ended up getting his soul burned. And the woman... well she turned out to have inadequate powers of discernment. She makes the arguably shallow choice and picks the man who is her true tormentor because he's generically handsome.

    0:14 "I'm just talking now, so jump in"
    Such a brilliant bit of manipulation from Chad; having explicitly invited Howard to jump in and say anything from "great idea, here's a thought I've got to make it even better!" to "that's sick and so are you, I'm getting the hell out of here" he frames it as a conversation of equals in which they're both playing a part.
    This way, Howard doesn't feel manipulated, nor (when he realises he doesn't actually enjoy the sadistic game) does he feel like he can absolve himself of responsibility for it on the grounds "it was all Chad's idea".
    However, since Howard DOESN'T jump in, because he's too shocked by what he's hearing to collect his thoughts properly, he has completely ceded control of the conversation and the plan to Chad, and remains his puppet for the whole film, while having just enough conscience to feel terrible that he wasn't strong enough to actually object to this hideous idea from the start.

      they do exist, Howard in the form of "nice guys/incels" and Chad in the form of narcasists and sociopaths. There are also less extreme versions of him in those guys that will just say anything do anything just to get into a girls pants and pretend they care about her when they don't and take off as soon as they get what they want.
      Also I saw a very disturbing video once on r/iamapieceofshit, of a man bragging about having sex with a disabled woman and deliberately penetrating her ass without asking just to see if she would notice that is something Chad would do.
      That being said there are also women who behave like this too. I have met male and female threads in my lifetime and male and female Howards I'm sure you have too if you think about it. I think the guys that made this film went that right because they just write men very well because they are men after all.

      I love how "incel" has now just become a meaningless catch-all term for any man a woman doesn't like, regardless of whether or not he's actually involuntarily celibate or not. You do realize the character Chad sleeps with at least a couple different women in this movie, right? Actual incels don't take advantage of women, because that would require the ability to get women in the first place.

    I think the reason why women get so freaked out over this, is precisely because this is exactly the kind of sick garbage they regularly do to men. And they know what a nightmare life will be like for them (and everybody else, but they don't really care about anything besides themselves) if men start acting in the same amoral way they do.

      Olivia Armstrong So many people seem to struggle with the simple concept 'not all men and women are the same'. If someone retorts with the asinine statement 'but more women are cruel like this than men' I'd say back that there is no way or proving it and that your own experience with the opposite sex reflects next to nothing about the opposite sex as a whole.
