A devil can't take what isn't their's.

"It follows" can actually be beaten as explained by someone i read somewhere. There are apparently quite a few people with the disease , even though the ghost only follows the last person who had contracted the disease. All of them can see the ghost. So all of them should just come together and set up a trap for the ghost with the last person as the bait, maybe in a reinforced steel cage. The ghost has a physical body even though it is invisible and is very slow. So the bait person can escape the cage through another door and lock the ghost up inside. Then the box can be dumped in the deepest part of the ocean or locked up somewhere where no one ever comes across it.
Judging by the strength of the follower, I doubt reinforced steel could stop it. It seems to exert as much force as needed to get to its target while maintaining it's average speed. Even though it does stop at times for dramatic effect, lol. I think of it like SCP-096, in the sense that once it's started it can't be stopped, and will pursue by any means.

In cabin in the woods, the japanese school kids beat the demon. However it would be unbeatable once the "gods" or beings came out and destroyed everything.
@@RatKingCerf it ended beacause the virgin didn't kill the fool. That would have appeased the gods and spared the world. Fun fact they are old, and humanity has always been subjugated by them. Hence a girl thrown to a volcano to appease them. When you see one climb out, based on this hand you can determine their size. So, driven by our ancestors always doing these offerings, who knows if technology had evolved to the point humanity can fight them now, and as a typical hollywood film, defeat and harness their energy. Although we don't know what powers they have.
@@RatKingCerf Yeah and it wasn't only the fact that they messed up the their trial but that they were the LAST trial, in that scene they showed all the other ones failed too meaning the people made it out alive and since there were no sacrifices the world ended.
I think The Blair Witch Project is kind of unbeatable too. Once you get into the woods you can never get out, you are inevitably reached by darkness and then die. Same goes for Grave Encounters, once the crew enters into the building they're unable to escape since all possible exit routes are transformed into other corridors and rooms, making it impossible to get out of the asylum, trapping you within it's walls with its creatures.
@@wladislawshamin5447 I thought the monster was quite cool and still had a horror factor to it even after the reveal. Plus, that wasn't until the final twenty minutes of the movie.
The creepy thing about the atmosphere in The Ritual is that to me, it didn't feel like the creature was extending the forest, but rather like the forest was being shifted and moved around like a rubik's cube the further they ventured through it
(Spoilers for CITW)You also forgot that in the cabin in the woods that even if the group had somehow made it out of the scenario the world would’ve been destroyed anyways due to the ritual not being performed, Great video though!
I don't know how the book lore goes, but in the movie The Ritual, it never says that Moder can expand the woods. In fact the main character manages to make it to the edge of the woods while Moder is still chasing after him, and after Moder realizes he's made it outside of her (yes Moder was a female despite what the movie said) territory she stayed in the treeline for a bit to rage about the loss of one of her potential worshipers before slinking back into the forest. So if Moder was extending the forest how did he escape? It clearly wasn't by Moder's will so that shouldn't have been possible.
I loved Cabin in the Woods. It had so many horror tropes. It was like a homage to old horror movies. I think it was called Darkness falls where the dad was part of a cult as a child but managed to escape after all the other children get sacrificed and when he becomes an adult him and his family end up moving back to that house.
Even in Final Destination after finding the one way to "cheat" death and win, it's basically proved that doesn''t work because of the ending so yeah, they were all screwed
Same in the comics. I found one and a girl actually did survive, but she then just.. faded out of existence. Because you're not supposed to beat death, it's unnatural. So you get erased.
Honestly, I don't think Death was planning on taking Stifler in that example, just Death stood there, shrugged, and said that's why you never stand next to a train, still, job security.
So, you can die from seeing the creature from Birdbox from a screen through a camera, but don’t die from seeing it through a blindfold (since it’s thin and doesn’t totally block your vision)?
@Klaus Hermann I can at least identify my phone's shape with a blindfold. The movie doesn't imply anywhere that there's a "safe" level of seeing the monster.
I think it has to do with being able to visibly recognize what it is. Like you can understand what you see therefore you are affected through a screen but you can't make out basically anything through a blindfold.
@@lightingthief4482 shouldnt matter.. consider the screen ur objectively NOT looking at it.. its not real imagine.. also consider this.. if a random person just so happen to draw a creature that happened to look exactly like this creature.. by logic the artist should t hen die and anyone who looks at it.. if no.. then b y logic the screen looking at it shouldnt either .... consider something simple.. looking at the sun with ur naked eye when its highest and brightest in the sky.. u'll go blind.. YET simple filters between ur eye and the sun will negate that...
Bro, I freaking love The Ritual. Honestly might be my favorite horror movie. Something about the suspense and how it hit me the first time I watched it, it just really spoke to me.
I would think The Grudge would be inescapable, once you get the curse. Also, most Lovecraftian movies of any type is basically a death sentence for anyone, including the protagonist. And I also would think that the 80's Twilight Zone episode known as Something in the Walls is also unbeatable, as it's basically a pattern screamer that you can never truly escape from.
The cabin in the woods is literally my childhood, Took me over 10 years to find! Thank u so much for sharing, I rewatched this movie so many times, It was my favorite oh my God. I can't believe I finally found the name of it!
Cabin in the Woods is my favorite thriller/horror movie of all time! Much love. I normally hate unbeatable horror movies, makes it really boring to me.
One of the most hopeless setups - in spite of its fun tone overall - is Return of the Living Dead. At first it's kind of a joke that the things you've been taught by zombie flicks would work all fail, but then it keeps getting worse as you start to see the consequences of those fail-points playing out.
That movie fucked me up as a kid. I probably shouldn't have watched it then, but I did, and the hopelessness of fighting those zombies still makes me incredibly uncomfortable to this day, like 16 years later. One of the few horror movies I've watched that made me feel actual fear
The train car throwing that piece of shrapnel through that guy's head caught me off guard the first time. It was so fast and so brutal. Always thought it was messed up it didn't actually decapitate him, just from the nose up
In Final Destination, Carter didn't decide to get his death over with and then change his mind; he didn't buy into the whole "Death following after them" theory yet and was trying to prove that he was in control of his fate by putting himself directly in a fatal situation and then stepping out of it unharmed... except that second part didn't work.
The Grudge would be impossible to survive considering it's a crazy ghost lady and the rules are kinda wonky. Even the ones who apparently "survive" get picked off one by one anyways later. The house is just a regular house and imagine you're looking for a house and just go in to check it out. You're cursed the second you enter with basically no hope of survival.
Another reason you can’t beat Cabin in the Woods: the entire earth is destroyed at the end, everyone lost, you cannot survive the entire planet exploding
As someone who's seen both, yeah there are similarities and I enjoyed The Happening more. Birdbox is indeed less funny, but also more wonky in a sense? Like it doesn't seems as well-put together and coherent as a movie compared to The Happening, and I kinda prefer the enviromentalistic 'the trees came to hate us' narrative over an unexplained monster as there are already so many better written horror movies with monsters they didn't explain.
I’d like your take on the “They Spit on Your Grave” (or I spit on your grave, I can’t remember) franchise. It’s more psychological horror mixed with trauma and revenge but it’s one of my favorite movie series.
Im so sorry to go all ballistic on you, but the original glorified rape by making the SA scene add up to a stunning 25 minutes. it exploited women's suffering to a point of...well pointlessness.
@@jemqoos7166 i did not mean glorifying positively. clearly. EDIT: To each their own, but to me rape in movies doesn't have to be 20+ minutes long to make the point. Zarchi's take on portraying the horror almost every woman has to go through in her lifetime is outdated. If anything it's clearly being exploited for men, not women. Having this opinion is not unique to me but is also not everyones opinion. I and many others do not want to be reminded of our sexual assaults for 25 minutes and would not be able to excuse it in modern times. "Promising Young Woman" for example did not show rape nor mention it ONCE, yet allowed for the same type of revenge to happen. It did its job to a T, without triggering a full blown panic attack. I too want to see someones balls cut off and their life ruined after committing SA, don't get me wrong. But not after a quarter of the movie is spent showing rape. Just rape.
@@commentateur-connaisseur-c1414 I'd like to refer you to my previous comment. Had the original movie not put 20+ minutes of brutal SA on full blast, i definitely wouldnt have had this angsty opinion. Rapists dying in the utmost of brutal ways does not justify a quarter of the movie being just rape porn basically. I respect your opinion, you've lived a different life, but as an SA victim mine will never change.
I'd say It Follows only appears unbeatable. While it seems so for most of the movie, and you can't really do anything if you're alone, but with help, you can most likely stop it. I can think of a few ways, though that depends on if what was in the movie actually holds. It can only walk, at a single speed, and takes the shortest route, but always on foot. Also, It is more like an invisible immortal monster than ghost, cause It can be injured, and incapacitated. Moreover, It doesn't seem to be supernaturally strong, since It has trouble with doors (and had to use a brick or a stone to break open a window). As such, I'd say it'd be a combination of ways of permanently disabling It. For example, shooting It in the head to stun it, wrap in chains/concrete coffin and dump it in the sea, shoot It in the head and put a spike through it, at least as an experiment to see if that can stop Its regeneration. Maybe dismemberment, or incineration? Or, move to another continent, while making sure It isn't on the plane/boat you're taking. While It seems immortal, It can be wounded, and incapacitated. It also doesn't take public transport, so It'd either have to swim or walk along the seafloor. First could maybe make It shark food, second would disable It permanently, since It'd be stuck in a constant loop of being crushed by the pressure.
Or just spray it with spray paint and let the cops see it. They would probably shoot it and detain it, contact the FBI, and then it would get shipped off to a lab somewhere and experimented on forever thereafter.
we cant assume it cant take an airplane, so you'll have to test it by flying somewhere also you can estimate how long it will take to reach you with google maps or something but the protag was dumb I think the best way to disable it is to just make a plan to cease the curse, if you die without passing it to anyone and without any predecessors being alive, maybe the curse will just disapear
It's implied that if the last carrier dies, the thing moves down the list. And I don't think it can take a plane. In the movie, it seemed pretty stupid. I can only walk in a straight line towards you. It might be able to follow you on a plane, but it won't be smart enough to take one to your destination.
1:36 mf survived 6 movies and multiple series and games of hyper aggressive dinosaurs but lost 1 match of five nights at Freddy’s 6:15 tldr: STD edition immortal snail. Gets passed back if person you passed it to died. Like a chain.
Most deaths in the entire Final Destination series, but special shout-out to the last death in the second movie - how do you avoid death via barbaque explosion?? Dark but majorly amazingly good question to ask.
@@deemogame3719 Except wouldn't it be likely that if this doctor is on stand-by with you for this and believes you he's also likely on Death's To-Kill list? Seems like a lose-lose to me.
you forgot to mention that in the movie bird box, mentally insane patients were ironically unaffected by the disease or whatever it was that made people comitt untimely demises.
It Follows can, hypothetically, be beaten. If you could trap the invisible shapeshifting thing then you could potentially escape it. The survivors also managed to shoot it in the head, so it can be slowed down with guns.
What if it shape shifts into an extremely large object and its expansion would cause the container or cage to rupture, or the opposite, it could turn microscopic and slip through the container.
Another couple unbeatable movies are “nobody sleeps in the woods tonight” and “nobody sleeps in the woods tonight 2”, it you have to see both to understand why they are unbeatable (not in the circumstances that they happened in, but ultimately)
I thought they were beatable. At least when I watched it. If I remember right the two monsters were very slow. If you ran without stopping it could work. Also if you try to stab them in the eyes so they won't see you.
@@bunnyplay4607 I think they could smell blood, and you would need to know how to get out of the forest anyway if you want to stay alive. Also the police got the survivors back into the forest to investigate, which is how the girl became a monster too in the second film.
My favorite death in a horror movie is, the sister of the main protagonist from Mirrors. When she is laying in the bathtub and her mirror self rippes her mouth away its brutal and scary at the same time
fun fact: final destination 5 takes place before the first final destination, which makes THE final destination (or final destination 4) still the final destination
It always bugged me that the first death in the first final destination has that liquid that appears and disappears. All the other deaths in the series come from often ridiculously bizarre ‘accidents’ but not from something that just appears from nowhere and then vanishes to make an accident happen
im not too sure about this one, but another that may be impossible to survive could be sinister. ive only watched the first one so idk if its survivable.
This could be spoilers but the only way to survive is to not move out of the haunted house cause that's the last step and if you don't do that the bad guy cant come after you. I could be wrong cause I haven't watch it in a long time lol
“Now it happens so quickly that Alex doesn’t have enough time to save him… he didn’t even do anything wrong…” do you realize it’s a final destination movie?
I am very late but in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (not really a horror movie but still has some horror in it) once Ken Wheatly entered the cage, he was basically dead, he shot the Indoraptor with a tranquilizer, the Indoraptor the fake sleeps, once Ken Wheatly entered the cage he got his arm ripped off, then brutally killed
The Venus Flytrap From Saw 2, The Reverse Beartrap (Key Hidden Instead Of Needing To Cut Open Someone Like Amada Did), The Coffin Trap from Saw IV, And Saw 3D The Bathroom (No Saw To Cut Off Leg And No Light To See)
I was going to say any SAW after the first one. Breaking the 3rd world, the audience really wanted to see the traps actually work. And most of the traps not made by jigsaw himself were designed to be unbeatable.
The ritual is AMAZING🤩 I watched it at a sleepover with some friends but I just hid behind my pillow because I get scared really easily, but understood what the movie was about. The next sleepover we watched it again and it was better than I remembered.
It fallows I think you could trap it in liquid metal or cement have a pit set up and then a log fall trap over a small plank for it to try to get to you by and drop that on it as it tries to cross the pit fillied with cement or liquid metal and then super cool or do both first a deep pit of cement close the top with two layers of mettal rebar to trap it inside the pit it self could be a large steel container and you could toss on a rebar cage or a solid mettal plate and lock it weld it. Next thing to do is to 1 shoot it into space or 2 drop it into the marriana trench.
I know it is kind of lame example, but from the looks of it is impossible to beat Blair Witch after it has you in the woods and has picked you. For all we know the "ghost" is not only capable of causing physical arm, toying with senses, but can warp time and space at the locations of the woods. Even the somewhat awful sequel demonstrated these powers, so I would say it is canon.
I love cabin in the woods because of its true difficulty. In you're actually in the situation, you have to choose between dying, or living just a few minutes longer. The problem with this is that no one can choose to die over living a bit more before they die. This goes against literally everything a normal person goes for. I also like it because its sick. Its the greatest movie of my favorites.
D-railed. First one, you cant avoid getting robbed on the train, as you cant get off. You cant stop the train in time before it falls down the hill into the water. Getting in the water is almost a 100% guarantee that at least one person will die, The monster can crawl on walls and the ceiling.
i loved this video, i watched just the fisrt secods of each section of the video just to get an idea of the plot of the movies, so i downloaded them, will watch each one, then come back to it to finish the video
There's this little movie called "The Curve". Ever since I saw it first I've been thinking about it a whole lot, it really captures the image of true fear and helplessness to an extent where even you as the viewer start feeling emotions of all sorts. Great movie, always wondered if there was a way to come out of it alive despite the circumstances.
OH MY GOD late reply but the curve freaked me the fck out... the concept is so simple yet it invokes such primal terror. i think the uncertainty of whether the predicament can be 'beaten' is one of the things that makes it so scary. happy to run into someone else who has seen that masterpiece of a short film
Truth or dare is an unavoidable death considering they made the entire world play it and if you don’t do the dare or tell the truth u automatically die
I don't think you would be going anywhere ever again if you 100% predicted a plane exploding while you were on it and then it actually did right after you left. "Well, he's the perpetrator!"
I still think the movie Fall is one of the most unbeatable scenarios: being stuck at the top of an old radio mast. The characters in that are experienced climbers who brought tons of gear with them, and even that barely saved one of them. For most people, especially if you went up alone, you're probably screwed
To defeat the It Follows monster, just transfer it to Rick Sanchez and he will figure out how the monster works then clone millions of them to store in a pocket universe where their ceaseless walking is converted into perpetual energy for his space ship.
I could beat It Follows with a can of spray paint. The creature obviously has a body and seems to have to interact with the world to get around. So just go to the police station, get a cops attention, spray the creature with paint, and let the authorities have their way with it. I am sure the US government would love to find out how its invisibility works. Honestly the only danger is that the government might force you to participate in experiments with the creature and other people.
For Final Destination, you said that we only learn the necessary information only years later, but you seem to forget how the last movie ends. (No spoil)
i believe cabin in the woods is beatable! (not by the Japanese schoolkids example). in the movie, towards the end, the director (sigourney weaver) says the virgin could live or die "as fate decides". judging by the fact that this ritual has been happening for generations, i'd say someone has to have survived the ritual in the cabin in the woods.
Exactly, this movie is a commentary on horror movies and thropes. The virgin being the 'the final girl' of a movie just like Gods were a stand-in for critics and the movies reception whereas the organization seemed to be a stand-in for us as an audience. If she survived, it would have been okay. The world only ended, because they didn't kill Marty who thought humanity deserved to die for being assholes. Which makes the protagonists assholes because a major apocalyptic event like that wouldn't kill just humanity, but plants and animals alike as well as we saw a God literally destroying plantlife in the woods at the ending. Killing the entire planet because you dn't like your own species is such a dick move, and it turnt the entire movie from clever commentary to pretentious as the movie clearly cares more about commenting on horror movies and the arguably sadistic audience then it does for creating likable characters and a satisfying conclusion.
The Roller Coaster Scene from Final Destination 3 Is The Reason Why I Haven't Been On A Ride In 7 1/2 Years It's Just Like What Happened To That 14 Year Old Kid When He Fell 10-15 feet R.I.P :(
It follows can be beaten by getting it onto some vr treadmill type thing where you can "walk" but never actually shift in position or distance. Now if its speed changes to ensure a constant distance covered is met then idk
Not to be that person but with The Ritual the book by Adam Neville is SO good. The story is different enough that it’s worth reading even after seeing the movie. I really can’t suggest it enough especially if you found the premise or the setting super cool because it’s just a lot more in depth and fleshed out.
5:53 i believe they could exit from under the dome since there is running water. The water would not be able to run if the dome went all the way down, would it? The forest in ritual warps, it doesn’t expand forever. It changes to make sure that you stay lost.

@@wladislawshamin5447 my thoughts exactly, still a great movie though
The creepy thing about the atmosphere in The Ritual is that to me, it didn't feel like the creature was extending the forest, but rather like the forest was being shifted and moved around like a rubik's cube the further they ventured through it
Wow, what a concept. Love your rubiks cube analogy.
Oh no, the forest is Rubik's cubing
I dont think Rubik's cube was the word you were thinking, I think you mean a tesseract

(Spoilers for CITW)You also forgot that in the cabin in the woods that even if the group had somehow made it out of the scenario the world would’ve been destroyed anyways due to the ritual not being performed, Great video though!
Yeah I know… I didn’t want to spoil it for the people who had it seen 😂
That thing needs a sequel tho
@@theblackx9429 how... their world was destroyed
@@dajonee06123 no. Was about to be destroyed. It didn't happend instantly.
@@theblackx9429 so _what_ exactly would the second movie be about?
I don't know how the book lore goes, but in the movie The Ritual, it never says that Moder can expand the woods. In fact the main character manages to make it to the edge of the woods while Moder is still chasing after him, and after Moder realizes he's made it outside of her (yes Moder was a female despite what the movie said) territory she stayed in the treeline for a bit to rage about the loss of one of her potential worshipers before slinking back into the forest. So if Moder was extending the forest how did he escape? It clearly wasn't by Moder's will so that shouldn't have been possible.
Isn't it the child of loki and a shapeshifter and therefore fairly androgynous
@@iamcuthulu316 But "Moder" literally means "Mother". She's about as androgynous as Darth Vader with a name like that.
@@HTFWSFWWE, darth vader is very androgynous
@@iamcuthulu316 but "Vader" literally means "father".
@@HTFWSFWWE, uh, he's literally a robot, lmao
I loved Cabin in the Woods. It had so many horror tropes. It was like a homage to old horror movies. I think it was called Darkness falls where the dad was part of a cult as a child but managed to escape after all the other children get sacrificed and when he becomes an adult him and his family end up moving back to that house.
This has honestly become one of my favorite horror YT channels. Great work man
Even in Final Destination after finding the one way to "cheat" death and win, it's basically proved that doesn''t work because of the ending so yeah, they were all screwed
Same in the comics. I found one and a girl actually did survive, but she then just.. faded out of existence. Because you're not supposed to beat death, it's unnatural. So you get erased.
@@Wellnseddich There's Final destination comics??
@@mysteriousdestiny6672 Yepp and books too!
Honestly, I don't think Death was planning on taking Stifler in that example, just Death stood there, shrugged, and said that's why you never stand next to a train, still, job security.
Wait didn’t the mc of 2 survive though? And also the cop in that same movie.
So, you can die from seeing the creature from Birdbox from a screen through a camera, but don’t die from seeing it through a blindfold (since it’s thin and doesn’t totally block your vision)?
I guess since you can't really see what the creature looks like, I guess you're OK as long as you're not trying to see it through the blindfold
@Klaus Hermann
I can at least identify my phone's shape with a blindfold. The movie doesn't imply anywhere that there's a "safe" level of seeing the monster.
I think it has to do with being able to visibly recognize what it is. Like you can understand what you see therefore you are affected through a screen but you can't make out basically anything through a blindfold.
@MirroredVoid idk
@@lightingthief4482 shouldnt matter.. consider the screen ur objectively NOT looking at it.. its not real imagine..
also consider this.. if a random person just so happen to draw a creature that happened to look exactly like this creature.. by logic the artist should t hen die and anyone who looks at it.. if no.. then b y logic the screen looking at it shouldnt either ....
consider something simple.. looking at the sun with ur naked eye when its highest and brightest in the sky.. u'll go blind.. YET simple filters between ur eye and the sun will negate that...
Bro, I freaking love The Ritual. Honestly might be my favorite horror movie. Something about the suspense and how it hit me the first time I watched it, it just really spoke to me.
I would think The Grudge would be inescapable, once you get the curse. Also, most Lovecraftian movies of any type is basically a death sentence for anyone, including the protagonist. And I also would think that the 80's Twilight Zone episode known as Something in the Walls is also unbeatable, as it's basically a pattern screamer that you can never truly escape from.
Oh Jesus fuck why did you remind me of pattern screamers
the grudge was so goofy lmao
The cabin in the woods is literally my childhood, Took me over 10 years to find! Thank u so much for sharing, I rewatched this movie so many times, It was my favorite oh my God. I can't believe I finally found the name of it!
Cabin in the Woods is my favorite thriller/horror movie of all time! Much love. I normally hate unbeatable horror movies, makes it really boring to me.
One of the most hopeless setups - in spite of its fun tone overall - is Return of the Living Dead. At first it's kind of a joke that the things you've been taught by zombie flicks would work all fail, but then it keeps getting worse as you start to see the consequences of those fail-points playing out.
That movie fucked me up as a kid. I probably shouldn't have watched it then, but I did, and the hopelessness of fighting those zombies still makes me incredibly uncomfortable to this day, like 16 years later. One of the few horror movies I've watched that made me feel actual fear
"It's ok General, seems like the rain is putting out the fires.", rinse, repeat. Still my favorite zombie movie to this day.
the reason Billy died in Final Destination is that if someone cheats death, the order skips to the next person
I don't think Death was planning him, just an egregious violation of safety rules.
also this movie had a prequel therefore they could have known this fact had they researched what the fuck was going on
The train car throwing that piece of shrapnel through that guy's head caught me off guard the first time. It was so fast and so brutal. Always thought it was messed up it didn't actually decapitate him, just from the nose up
It Follows: one of the best combinations of old school and more recent horror convention.
@•Eleven• exactly what I was thinking, but they kept it fairly crisp. Tough villain, and fairly original concept surrounding its existence.
In Final Destination, Carter didn't decide to get his death over with and then change his mind; he didn't buy into the whole "Death following after them" theory yet and was trying to prove that he was in control of his fate by putting himself directly in a fatal situation and then stepping out of it unharmed... except that second part didn't work.
*Unbeatable death*
That one guy:"I jUsT bUiLd DiFfErEnT."
"Nah I'd win" ts
The Grudge would be impossible to survive considering it's a crazy ghost lady and the rules are kinda wonky. Even the ones who apparently "survive" get picked off one by one anyways later. The house is just a regular house and imagine you're looking for a house and just go in to check it out. You're cursed the second you enter with basically no hope of survival.
"Evidence gets given hints ahead of time"
The piece of paper literally saying the name of one of his friends. Such a hard one. Who could it be?
Another reason you can’t beat Cabin in the Woods: the entire earth is destroyed at the end, everyone lost, you cannot survive the entire planet exploding
or can you?😉
Nah, l can
Watch me
In Final Destination 1 a high school class takes a trip to France, proving that they were doomed months before the movie even started
foul
I've never seen Bird Box, but it sounds like a less funny version of The Happening. You can't beat Mark Wahlberg.
As someone who's seen both, yeah there are similarities and I enjoyed The Happening more. Birdbox is indeed less funny, but also more wonky in a sense? Like it doesn't seems as well-put together and coherent as a movie compared to The Happening, and I kinda prefer the enviromentalistic 'the trees came to hate us' narrative over an unexplained monster as there are already so many better written horror movies with monsters they didn't explain.
So "It follows" is just like the immortal snail, but more deadlier
prettt much
Nice new formate, would love to see more
I’d like your take on the “They Spit on Your Grave” (or I spit on your grave, I can’t remember) franchise. It’s more psychological horror mixed with trauma and revenge but it’s one of my favorite movie series.
Im so sorry to go all ballistic on you, but the original glorified rape by making the SA scene add up to a stunning 25 minutes. it exploited women's suffering to a point of...well pointlessness.
@@mooksschmooks Did you watch the movie?? I dont know how you saw that as glorifying because it clearly didnt paint it in a positive light.
@@jemqoos7166 i did not mean glorifying positively. clearly. EDIT: To each their own, but to me rape in movies doesn't have to be 20+ minutes long to make the point. Zarchi's take on portraying the horror almost every woman has to go through in her lifetime is outdated. If anything it's clearly being exploited for men, not women. Having this opinion is not unique to me but is also not everyones opinion. I and many others do not want to be reminded of our sexual assaults for 25 minutes and would not be able to excuse it in modern times. "Promising Young Woman" for example did not show rape nor mention it ONCE, yet allowed for the same type of revenge to happen. It did its job to a T, without triggering a full blown panic attack. I too want to see someones balls cut off and their life ruined after committing SA, don't get me wrong. But not after a quarter of the movie is spent showing rape. Just rape.
@@mooksschmooks The rapists all died. And some in the most horrible ways ever. It's revenge porn, with capital REVENGE.
@@commentateur-connaisseur-c1414 I'd like to refer you to my previous comment. Had the original movie not put 20+ minutes of brutal SA on full blast, i definitely wouldnt have had this angsty opinion. Rapists dying in the utmost of brutal ways does not justify a quarter of the movie being just rape porn basically. I respect your opinion, you've lived a different life, but as an SA victim mine will never change.
The ritual was so good. Underrated as hell
I'd say It Follows only appears unbeatable. While it seems so for most of the movie, and you can't really do anything if you're alone, but with help, you can most likely stop it. I can think of a few ways, though that depends on if what was in the movie actually holds. It can only walk, at a single speed, and takes the shortest route, but always on foot. Also, It is more like an invisible immortal monster than ghost, cause It can be injured, and incapacitated. Moreover, It doesn't seem to be supernaturally strong, since It has trouble with doors (and had to use a brick or a stone to break open a window).
As such, I'd say it'd be a combination of ways of permanently disabling It. For example, shooting It in the head to stun it, wrap in chains/concrete coffin and dump it in the sea, shoot It in the head and put a spike through it, at least as an experiment to see if that can stop Its regeneration. Maybe dismemberment, or incineration? Or, move to another continent, while making sure It isn't on the plane/boat you're taking. While It seems immortal, It can be wounded, and incapacitated. It also doesn't take public transport, so It'd either have to swim or walk along the seafloor. First could maybe make It shark food, second would disable It permanently, since It'd be stuck in a constant loop of being crushed by the pressure.
Or just spray it with spray paint and let the cops see it. They would probably shoot it and detain it, contact the FBI, and then it would get shipped off to a lab somewhere and experimented on forever thereafter.
@@sherrykathman3309 *whispers* "only if the paint was black..."
I mean, this IS America
we cant assume it cant take an airplane, so you'll have to test it by flying somewhere
also you can estimate how long it will take to reach you with google maps or something but the protag was dumb
I think the best way to disable it is to just make a plan to cease the curse, if you die without passing it to anyone and without any predecessors being alive, maybe the curse will just disapear
It's implied that if the last carrier dies, the thing moves down the list.
And I don't think it can take a plane. In the movie, it seemed pretty stupid. I can only walk in a straight line towards you. It might be able to follow you on a plane, but it won't be smart enough to take one to your destination.
@@mikoajbaszczyszyn4568 yes but what if you're the last one on the list?
1:36 mf survived 6 movies and multiple series and games of hyper aggressive dinosaurs but lost 1 match of five nights at Freddy’s
6:15 tldr: STD edition immortal snail. Gets passed back if person you passed it to died. Like a chain.
Most deaths in the entire Final Destination series, but special shout-out to the last death in the second movie - how do you avoid death via barbaque explosion?? Dark but majorly amazingly good question to ask.
I mean you could survive as long as you straight up don't die and have a doctor on standby bug yeah they were fucked
@@deemogame3719 Except wouldn't it be likely that if this doctor is on stand-by with you for this and believes you he's also likely on Death's To-Kill list?
Seems like a lose-lose to me.
@@Shadowcat753 Well in this franchise you really can't beat death. I can think of a few other deaths that were unwarned.
@@bunnyplay4607 Fair point but I still think some deaths are way weirdly just lucky for death itself in that series.
@@Shadowcat753 Yeah I get it
you forgot to mention that in the movie bird box, mentally insane patients were ironically unaffected by the disease or whatever it was that made people comitt untimely demises.
The Chris Hemsworth bike death KILLED me 😂😂😂😭😭 it's funny every time
It Follows can, hypothetically, be beaten. If you could trap the invisible shapeshifting thing then you could potentially escape it. The survivors also managed to shoot it in the head, so it can be slowed down with guns.
What if it shape shifts into an extremely large object and its expansion would cause the container or cage to rupture, or the opposite, it could turn microscopic and slip through the container.
@@zacmayes2802
It hasn't been evidenced to do that 🧐
Stiffler definitely died the most unstoppable way
Another couple unbeatable movies are “nobody sleeps in the woods tonight” and “nobody sleeps in the woods tonight 2”, it you have to see both to understand why they are unbeatable (not in the circumstances that they happened in, but ultimately)
I meant to watch it. It showed up on netflix. Been curious about that one.
I thought they were beatable. At least when I watched it. If I remember right the two monsters were very slow. If you ran without stopping it could work. Also if you try to stab them in the eyes so they won't see you.
@@bunnyplay4607 I think they could smell blood, and you would need to know how to get out of the forest anyway if you want to stay alive. Also the police got the survivors back into the forest to investigate, which is how the girl became a monster too in the second film.
@@Someone-uz1jf I just watched the first but I'll definitely check out the second tonight!
Wait I never knew they made a sequel
The ritual is so underrated. It’s one of my favorite horror movies ever
"It follows" is actually a really good plot idea tbh
Idk why but your vids are weirdly relaxing for me lol
hallo brother i love your channel....props to youu!! i was thinking if you could make something discussing the hannibal series(mads mikkelsen)
My favorite death in a horror movie is, the sister of the main protagonist from Mirrors. When she is laying in the bathtub and her mirror self rippes her mouth away its brutal and scary at the same time
Maaaan it’s a great day when you upload 💪🏾💯
fun fact: final destination 5 takes place before the first final destination, which makes THE final destination (or final destination 4) still the final destination
It always bugged me that the first death in the first final destination has that liquid that appears and disappears. All the other deaths in the series come from often ridiculously bizarre ‘accidents’ but not from something that just appears from nowhere and then vanishes to make an accident happen
Completely agree that The Ritual is underated. Great movie. Very atmospheric and tense.
im not too sure about this one, but another that may be impossible to survive could be sinister. ive only watched the first one so idk if its survivable.
This could be spoilers but the only way to survive is to not move out of the haunted house cause that's the last step and if you don't do that the bad guy cant come after you. I could be wrong cause I haven't watch it in a long time lol
@@michaelfreese4958 thanks, appreciate it
You should for sure watch the second one
It gets so much deeper into how bagool (spelling?) actually affects the kids
The Ritual was one of my favorite horror movies from Netflix. It was really well done!
“Now it happens so quickly that Alex doesn’t have enough time to save him… he didn’t even do anything wrong…” do you realize it’s a final destination movie?
So the birdbox monster is practically my internal thoughts
I think, the movie As Above, So Below should find in that list. This movie is one of greatest film i ever seen.

Amazing video!! Thank you
I am very late but in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (not really a horror movie but still has some horror in it) once Ken Wheatly entered the cage, he was basically dead, he shot the Indoraptor with a tranquilizer, the Indoraptor the fake sleeps, once Ken Wheatly entered the cage he got his arm ripped off, then brutally killed
The Venus Flytrap From Saw 2, The Reverse Beartrap (Key Hidden Instead Of Needing To Cut Open Someone Like Amada Did), The Coffin Trap from Saw IV, And Saw 3D The Bathroom (No Saw To Cut Off Leg And No Light To See)
You seem to love saw
@@bunnyplay4607 same,i know every Charakter and every trap. I know EVERYTHING
@@selinadieterle3220 heh my brain is too fried to memorise every name of all the movies
I was going to say any SAW after the first one. Breaking the 3rd world, the audience really wanted to see the traps actually work. And most of the traps not made by jigsaw himself were designed to be unbeatable.
The ritual is AMAZING🤩
I watched it at a sleepover with some friends but I just hid behind my pillow because I get scared really easily, but understood what the movie was about. The next sleepover we watched it again and it was better than I remembered.
It fallows I think you could trap it in liquid metal or cement have a pit set up and then a log fall trap over a small plank for it to try to get to you by and drop that on it as it tries to cross the pit fillied with cement or liquid metal and then super cool or do both first a deep pit of cement close the top with two layers of mettal rebar to trap it inside the pit it self could be a large steel container and you could toss on a rebar cage or a solid mettal plate and lock it weld it. Next thing to do is to 1 shoot it into space or 2 drop it into the marriana trench.
I know it is kind of lame example, but from the looks of it is impossible to beat Blair Witch after it has you in the woods and has picked you. For all we know the "ghost" is not only capable of causing physical arm, toying with senses, but can warp time and space at the locations of the woods. Even the somewhat awful sequel demonstrated these powers, so I would say it is canon.
I love cabin in the woods because of its true difficulty. In you're actually in the situation, you have to choose between dying, or living just a few minutes longer. The problem with this is that no one can choose to die over living a bit more before they die. This goes against literally everything a normal person goes for.
I also like it because its sick. Its the greatest movie of my favorites.
The only way to win cabin in the woods was dying and everyone else surviving because if the main characters survive the world ends anyway 😵
D-railed.
First one, you cant avoid getting robbed on the train, as you cant get off.
You cant stop the train in time before it falls down the hill into the water.
Getting in the water is almost a 100% guarantee that at least one person will die,
The monster can crawl on walls and the ceiling.
Not the floor tho B) I'll beat up the robber, break a window then jump out epicly
i loved this video, i watched just the fisrt secods of each section of the video just to get an idea of the plot of the movies, so i downloaded them, will watch each one, then come back to it to finish the video
There's this little movie called "The Curve". Ever since I saw it first I've been thinking about it a whole lot, it really captures the image of true fear and helplessness to an extent where even you as the viewer start feeling emotions of all sorts. Great movie, always wondered if there was a way to come out of it alive despite the circumstances.
OH MY GOD late reply but the curve freaked me the fck out... the concept is so simple yet it invokes such primal terror. i think the uncertainty of whether the predicament can be 'beaten' is one of the things that makes it so scary. happy to run into someone else who has seen that masterpiece of a short film
Truth or dare is an unavoidable death considering they made the entire world play it and if you don’t do the dare or tell the truth u automatically die
I don't think you would be going anywhere ever again if you 100% predicted a plane exploding while you were on it and then it actually did right after you left.
"Well, he's the perpetrator!"
I guess there's a reason that Final Destination was released in 2000 and not 2001
All Videos are very very GOOD !
I still think the movie Fall is one of the most unbeatable scenarios: being stuck at the top of an old radio mast. The characters in that are experienced climbers who brought tons of gear with them, and even that barely saved one of them. For most people, especially if you went up alone, you're probably screwed
To defeat the It Follows monster, just transfer it to Rick Sanchez and he will figure out how the monster works then clone millions of them to store in a pocket universe where their ceaseless walking is converted into perpetual energy for his space ship.
The entity from the movie “Smile” was portrayed to be unbeatable too.
I would try getting therapy to beat it since it feasts off trauma, or to live alone in a bunker for the rest of my life or transfer it to someone else
Anyone notice the guy from the Ritual as Shaun’s co worker from Shaun of the Dead? “You got red on you”
the ritual was actually the first horror movie I ever watched and I’m ngl to you that movie made not want to go camping anymore
Try the wrong turn franchise and you'll definitely hate forests and deserted/abandoned places hah
I could beat It Follows with a can of spray paint. The creature obviously has a body and seems to have to interact with the world to get around. So just go to the police station, get a cops attention, spray the creature with paint, and let the authorities have their way with it. I am sure the US government would love to find out how its invisibility works. Honestly the only danger is that the government might force you to participate in experiments with the creature and other people.
honestly I think the government would catch on very quickly and you might even not need to prove it
In final destination, Mr. Hitchcok's death was one of the most important as it makes the other members of the group find a way to delay death.
great video!!
I like Matpat's analysis of Bird Box claiming that it's the rapture
For Final Destination, you said that we only learn the necessary information only years later, but you seem to forget how the last movie ends. (No spoil)
I like how these Unbeatable horror movies are my childhood horror movies lol
Great video. thanks!
I’m glad someone else really liked the ritual!
Bird box was kinda cool ngl, it was on the same level as quiet place but i like the different more “agressive and helpless” take on similar situation
Lmao when that guy flew out of the window I lol'd so hard. I was like hehe there he goes. This is why you don't trust big metal birds.
Great video idea
The thumbnail discribes every infant on a plane
Review Oculus, please. Also an unbeatable villain.
It's already on the list for the next video
i believe cabin in the woods is beatable! (not by the Japanese schoolkids example). in the movie, towards the end, the director (sigourney weaver) says the virgin could live or die "as fate decides". judging by the fact that this ritual has been happening for generations, i'd say someone has to have survived the ritual in the cabin in the woods.
Exactly, this movie is a commentary on horror movies and thropes. The virgin being the 'the final girl' of a movie just like Gods were a stand-in for critics and the movies reception whereas the organization seemed to be a stand-in for us as an audience. If she survived, it would have been okay. The world only ended, because they didn't kill Marty who thought humanity deserved to die for being assholes. Which makes the protagonists assholes because a major apocalyptic event like that wouldn't kill just humanity, but plants and animals alike as well as we saw a God literally destroying plantlife in the woods at the ending. Killing the entire planet because you dn't like your own species is such a dick move, and it turnt the entire movie from clever commentary to pretentious as the movie clearly cares more about commenting on horror movies and the arguably sadistic audience then it does for creating likable characters and a satisfying conclusion.
Suspiria, human centipede, certain Saw movies, last house on the left, the mist, lots more

It follows can be beaten by getting it onto some vr treadmill type thing where you can "walk" but never actually shift in position or distance. Now if its speed changes to ensure a constant distance covered is met then idk
countdown is basically impossible because one of the characters avoids their death sequence but literally gets yeeted into oblivion
Good to see some love for "the ritual".. it is a good movie..

Love this video! Just subscribed, can you do a part 2 on this?
Not to be that person but with The Ritual the book by Adam Neville is SO good. The story is different enough that it’s worth reading even after seeing the movie. I really can’t suggest it enough especially if you found the premise or the setting super cool because it’s just a lot more in depth and fleshed out.
5:53 i believe they could exit from under the dome since there is running water. The water would not be able to run if the dome went all the way down, would it?
The forest in ritual warps, it doesn’t expand forever. It changes to make sure that you stay lost.
