Hi 😊
I love how exasperated you were in this segment. Your essence of “DONE” with Imaginary is incredible
Peaches are "too fu*king slimy and wet"? Are you sure you're a lesbian, Amanda
Very entertaining review! Subscribed!
If you want a so bad it’s funny horror movie one of my favorites is The Boy.
I for one am sick and tired of the bratty teenager trope, it's like the people who wrote the characters have never interacted with a teenager before, perhaps never was one themselves, maybe they came out the womb as adults.
Bro this SO real you just earned a new subscriber !
Truth, teens run the spectrum of behaviors and so many times, especially in step parent situations, teens are the same brat in movies.
I mean most teenagers are bratty. They think they know everything and are mature adults, when in reality they’re still kids with no life experience just with the added “fun” of hormones.
I think in this situation it actually made sense until they needed them to split off towards the end. Her mom is mentally unwell, in a hospital, and her dad is moving on with someone else. She probably felt like he was giving up on her mom, and then they had to move away from their home and her friends.
Lately writing has been getting so over troped and illogical I think it's being done by AI
Honestly, I figured a world that was meant to trap children would be colorful and fun. Not a dark depressing environment.
The funny thing is... if you tilt your head and squint, The Boy and the Heron *is* the better horror version of this movie. You don't know if the Heron is real and who is trying to lure him into another world, he has issues with his stepmother, he's dealing with the disappearance and loss of his mother after and incident with fire. He sort of has an older lady who looked after his mother and himself along for the ride into the other realm. The real threat is that it's collapsing and he wants to return with his stepmother when he accepts he can't return with his mother.
Yeah, like Coralie
XD
Same. For a movie that's all about imagination, the "KINGDOM OF OUR IMAGINATION" world sure looks a lot like a hospital corridor.
You mean like in Coraline?
ngl it would have been cool if the nevereverland (i think that what it called) appeared different to everyone, for each person it would appear with all the stuff they desired or imagined, i saw smthing similar to this in a short animated series on youtube called "ONE" (its not a horror series but still really interesting)
I work at a cinema and had like an actual teenager come and get a refund because it was too scary. They looked about 16 or 17 lol.
There's no way, how, HOW!?
no because i went with my friend and he was watching the whole movie through his fingers HES NINETEEN YEARS OLD😭
The teen was smart enough to act scared and get back their money they almost lost for this dogshit.
@@AmandaTheJedii have a feeling they faked being scared to get a refund bc the movie was horrible lmaoo
@acemyname I hope you're right. I might have to try it for like a bad romcom... yeah, hetero-normativity too scary for me 😬
Wait a minute. An entity that drives people insane if they look into their eyes, true form is a spider, preys on children in particular? All that's missing is for Chauncey to be voiced by Tim Curry or Bill Skarsgard and we got "We have Pennywise at home!"
I mean, with the other world, and we're getting a worse Coraline lol
@@shaelynmartin1996 Chauncey is what happens when Pennywise and the Other Mother have a baby.
No, wait, that would've been way better than the actual film.
It's like they took It and Don't look under the bed and threw them in a blender
"we have pennywise in the storm drain"
Pennywise's cousinNickel intelligent
why would you trust anyone named Chauncey anyway
Thats the real question isn't it? 😂
My uncle is named Chauncey and he's pretty trustworthy lmfao😭😭
@@monipooh25 He's the exception that proves the rule 👍 Or whatever that saying is😅
What the heel kinda name is Chauncey anyways
@@impposter560 i think you mean disproves the rule. you just said their uncle was untrustworthy lol.
My "haunted" three-foot-tall handmade antique French clown doll, Chauncey, is peeved that they stole his name for this movie. SOMEBODY owes him a new stuffie for this indignity. (his "haunted" nature is...if I lose something, I ask him where it might be, the next morning I find it just right in the open, I shake his hand and tuck a stuffed toy under his arm and that's that)
He is clearly the superior Chauncey.
Dang, I respect your Chauncey out of fear of him choosing to use his powers in any other way
What a polite and helpful handsome little man.
Woah, I've never heard of a haunted doll being helpful before. You're Chauncey is awesome. You should make a movie about him.
Aww poor Chauncey!
I don't think your doll his haunted, in fact I think you are just very stupid
The critics tore this movie apart, and said "This film gives us a different kind of pain and suffering that will last us for years to come." Ouch! 😂
All things considered, that “should we try the next hotel?” line would’ve killed in a better horror-comedy
Feels stolen from the first Incredibles' ending when Dash asks if they're moving again.
and it really should have been the final scene (that or the reveal of her still being trapped), there was no need to make it crystal clear the the other bear was evil
HAVE YOU NOT COVERED WARM BODIES?! That’s one of the most “Amanda the Jedi is deeply disappointed in heteronormative YA cinematography” movie I can imagine.
i second this
I did think it was pretty cute (probably as someone who's not fond of zombie movies so that's why my dad wanted to watch it with me that prick lol) but yeah even I'm shocked she didn't cover the movie. Its cheesy as hell lmao
I remember liking it, but it's been 7 years or something like that; maybe a reevaluation would be interesting.
I really like that movie, it's just Romeo and Juliet where one is a zombie. It's cute, a bit simple, but cute.
Yeah I watched it back then to have a laugh but ended up liking it. I remember comparing it to the twilight movies and thinking it had more heart and soul. @@sarahr9894
I wish this movie was imaginary.
I made an " imaginary" version of this movie "Imaginary", where I like to "imagine" better characters, "imagine" better dialogue, as well as "imagined" a better "imaginary" world where it turns out the "imaginary" monster wasn't so "imaginary". 😂
the only bit that kinda freaked me out was the whole ''chauncey isn't actually there'' thing the therapist said, but i was immediately taken out of it when they played a montage showing EVERY SINGLE TIME the bear was on-screen like brother I GET IT.
the acting was also laughably disney channel-esque i was trying not to giggle in the theatre 😭
Tbh I’ve missed the Disney channel acting back when Disney channels acting was okay. These days the new Disney channel movies are….ew. They literally made a parody of the hangover FOR KIDS and it sucked recently 😭
I have to watch this video again just to catch all the places Amanda put the stuffed bear. It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice that, tbh... 🧸
Gdi, I played in the background while doing dishes. Oh well, back to it I guess
Omg I’m glad it wasn’t just me lol
I didn’t even notice until I saw this comment 😂
14:30 behind spider boi's foot
18:57 in front of RUclips's button
22:21 creeping behind Amanda's shoulder
I only saw it once the camera zoomed in to it lol
Oh yeah, as an older sibling and older cousin I can confirm that No One is allowed to mess with my family but me. I can talk shit as much as I want, but the moment someone else is a dick to them I go into attack mode. lol
"Has Alice taken up any new hobbies lately? Like ventriloquism?" deserves an Oscar in itself.
the main character's old babysitter plotline was wild
I thought it was too obvious/they made it too obvious and cluncky, especially at the end when she looked excited af to go to this weird realm it kinda gave everything up beforehand
Tbh, I was disappointed that she was offed in that instance. Out of everyone, she was the only death. The one I wanted to become a crazed fanatic and minion, worshipping Chauncey as a God. Lmao 🤣
It could've been removed and nothing in the movie would've been impacted. It was just so unnecessary. She did NOTHING the whole movie but is supposed to be so important because she "led" them there as a plot twist
@literallyimtrash7975
Really... they might have realized too late that their wasn't much of a body count and decided to give her something to do then off her at the last minute.
@@literallyimtrash7975 This. I didn't hate this movie. Not great, but better than Night Swim, IMO. It had some creepy moments and, unlike Annabell, Chauncy actually MOVES. I completely agree with the neighbor, though. It was clear she was in on it and her pert in the "Never Ever" were just goofy, which felt wildly out of place.
maybe it's just the edibles but I fucking lost it at "Chauncey think why use lot word when few do trick?"
I officially lost hope for this movie before seeing it or this video because of this comment 😭
Neil Gaiman: "Yeah, you can copy my homework, just make sure to change stu..."
What did Neil write that this reminds you of?
@@xXnizeeeXx coraline.
@@argylewarrior1except the well written part, and the imaginary world making sense as a colorful imagination of a child and the childlike whimsy and-
@@starcrysis23 that's kinda the point? it's like a bad live-action reimagining that nobody asked for.
"your homework is mine now".
That was not a dumb bit, that was a great bit to end on. The bear hanging off your Spider-Man cutout legit jumpscared me at one point where I was listening then glanced up & Spidey's foot made it look like the bear had a weapon.
1. You wouldn't like Sting
2. I would love to see a "Warm Bodies" video
Love to see the Warm Bodies suggestion!! Personally, I didn't really enjoy the book BUT I loved the movie when I first watched it and I often think about it!
Warm bodies was my Twilight as a tween
Warm bodies is one of my biggest comfort movies I love my autistic zombies
PLOT TWIST: the movie itself is imaginary.
It was aaaaaall a dream
God I WISH
That Mama movie honestly managed some of these themes and plots points so much better
It kind of reminded me of that movie as well right after the musician dad had to leave lol
I’m going through a huge depression these last few moths and I watch a lot of your videos because your entertaining energy makes me laugh and smile a bit through the hard times and for that thanks and keep up the great work
I hope things get better!
Get rid of those moths
@@TheDrewbie34 autocomplete can be more problems then useful but that’s actually funny 😂
I’m actually upset about *both* IF and Imaginary because IF has Blue in a practical puppet suit and Imaginary has a good idea on paper, like the Never Ever and the - just the whole plot about the therapist and the dad going nuts from the imaginations of kids and the weird voice possession shit, but it just ends up being used in a slow Teddy Clubberlang is Evil movie.
Also, is it just me or is the imaginary friend genre of movie ironically dead because of Hollywood?
Plus the whole back half is just Coraline again!
I saw this in theatre and I kind of felt like I wasted my money. They didn’t even show any slashing or anything to make it entertaining. 😭 So tired of PG13 horror.
PG-13 isn't even an excuse honestly, there are some super effective pg-13/14A horror movies
I’m glad PG-13 horror movies exist, I just wish there were more writers/directors who could make GOOD ones. Escape Room, Happy Death Day, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark were all pretty close to being good toned-down versions of Saw, Scream, and IT respectively, but I wish there were horror movies for teens that could stand solidly on their own.
@@AmandaTheJedi This. There are definitlly effective PG-13 horror movies out there. This (and Night Swim) just aren't two of them. 😕
@@RealLukeWilson I cannot agree with these and I'll add Insidius to this list. For Scary Stories, the characters points dragged a bit, but the monsters were terrifying. PG-13 horror can DEFINITELY work, if done well.
I loved Happy Death Day.
The sequel could've been better.
Slight spoiler
Her resolve for going back to the correct dimension/timeline could've been different.
My dad and I almost saw this. Then, we saw it didn’t even have an audience score the Saturday after it came out, and we decided to see beekeeper instead(for some reason, it was still playing at our theater). I think we made the right choice
the beekeeper was a top tier fun dad action movie
I thought this movie was better as a dark comedy - when the bear turned into a giant scary bear me and my friend burst out laughing in the theatre
I'm probably reaching here but I swear this is like the second or third video where Amanda has said "barely an inconvenience" and that just makes me hope for a Ryan George crossover.
I saw this movie with my 12 year old nephew and I think he was a perfect audience for it. He was scared but not too scared and he thought the special effects were cool. I came in blind but quickly picked up on the fairy tale vibes. Watching the movie from that perspective, it was pretty fun. I was reminded of watching the movie Troll(1986) when I was a kid, and another movie with my baby cousin when he was about 13, called Fear Of The Dark(2003). It was a good time.
You gave your nephew a core memory friend
@@Jessidafennecfox Thank you! Certainly what I was hoping for. People don’t appreciate movies like they used to but I want all my niblets to experience the cinema like I did when I was their age, and for them to link their favorite movies to real bonding experiences. I took my niece to see all the Star Wars sequels when she was 9-13. Say what you will about those movies but she loved them and now we’re both fans of the franchise.
That makes sense, I mean I think it's nice to have movies that are like half-scary or an introduction to horror movies. I don't like jumpscares though so I only watch certain ones
Film makers really need to stop doing that thing where the scene is set in the dark so the picture is really dark. TV and movies are a visual medium. What good is it if I can't see what the hell is happening?
I prefer millipedes over the other bugs that sometimes enter my home. Despite all their legs they're actually pretty slow and easy to catch. And when you do pick them up they just curl into a ball, making it easy for me to just release them outside.
I think this is the wrong video
The thing that looks the worst about IF is that it just seems like it’ll be a crappy ripoff of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
Thank you I'm not insane that's exactly where my head went its like their afraid to call it a live action Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends but it has that feel.
Tbh I can’t complain I’m glad for a rip off since otherwise the show would have never had a legit movie. I kinda hope it pushes Cartoon Network to bring it back for reruns or something
@@compassrose1466I think the creator of Foster’s is making a kind of reboot. But the downside is that it’s going to be aimed for babies
about that my autistic Lil brother is a movie buff likes to know everything about them and it turns out from what he found out is that some of the Foster home for imaginary friends characters where supposed to appear in the movie but something happened and it fell through the had everything set up for it but at the last second they had to change everything about the movie it's also why the reason it was delayed so in reality it was kinda supposed to be like a live action movie for the show
@@stormtellier3804 Maybe it was like what happened with The Banana Splits or Willy’s Wonderland, working with an old Fnaf movie script then turning it into something (somewhat) original
I have an actual friend named Chauncey and when I first heard about this movie and how awful it is I immediately told him he will be forced to watch it with me.
I knew this was going to suck absolute donkey balls when I first saw the trailer and how Blumhouse labeled it as "a concept-driven horror movie". As if calling it "concept-driven" somehow makes it higher quality or them smarter.
Isn’t “concept-driven” just… everything lmfao?
I do recommend Totally Killer. Another Blumhouse film that was surprisingly entertaining. Time travel slasher movie that handles the nostalgia of the 80's really well.
How does a world of imagination look so unimaginative?? How “childlike imagination” of you to make the place look like a really dark labyrinth of hallways. The only whimsy in this place is the maze like feel and checkered floor and even that’s pushing it!
The scene of the family hoofing it away behind a toy bear in the foreground was pretty fantastic though. But I can imagine it’s not worth going through the whole movie to see that visual gag
This movie didn’t deserve Dewanda Wise as the lead, it was barely scary. Like, only one person died 😂
As i agree the death count is low but being alive inside in chauncys world as a food source is a worse fate than death.
10:26 That dad I think was in the Netflix Stephen Kings film “In the Tall Grass” that was actually quite scary and disturbing.
Imaginary friends were seen as a very US thing when I was growing up in latin america
i mean, with the way mothers are superstious over here, talking alone would not be taken as a silly child thing and more like "BRING THE PADRE AND INCENSO"
I'm from Europe and I have never heard about imaginary friends until I learnt English. I'm pretty sure they are not a thing in my country either, or at least, I've never met someone who had an imaginary friend
They may be referred to as different things or thought of differently, but from what I've read, they seem to be a fairly normal thing for non-US children as well. It does vary by culture, but that may also be affected by a cultural difference in how they're recognized or how they're viewed, as whether or not a child has imaginary friends is something that is usually reported by the primary caregivers. You'd be surprised how often someone has no memory of having an imaginary friend and only knows they did because a parent or other caregiver told them about it.
I think a lot of people think of them as being purely in the child's head, but personifying objects (such as believing your stuffed animal has thoughts and feelings) is also often considered to be grouped in with having an imaginary friend.
@@juliatakacs3994 it can be the same thing as just thinking/acting as if one of your toys is alive. It can literally be a little girl carrying around a baby doll and pretending/seeing it as a real baby/friend. It's not just a made-up, invisible figure. Majority of kids will have imaginary friends because that is normal for child development. Movies like this aren't a normal representation of imaginary friends. A lot of the time, it's a real toy.
nah, cus I tried to create an imaginary friend and my mom thought I wanted to talk to the devil and my grandma made me pray for nights on end when she stayed over. I just wanted someone to play wii with and the mf left me on seen and just left the house, never imagined him again
I didn't understand how they could say that the bear never existed and only her and the kid could see it...But the psychologist clearly talked like she saw it when she asked if the girl knows how to throw her voice and the ridiculous boy was seeing bear shapes under things.
Don't worry, Amanda, the upcoming kids film IF will be more cuter and funnier than this trainwreck.
DeWanda did not deserve this 😭
Agree 😢
the unhinged ranting during the surfshark plug was actually so funny omg 😭
With all the consumption themes surrounding the bear they should’ve leaned into him being a gluttonous beast and could’ve even incorporated organs and stomach stuff for the monster design, I think it had a lot of potential.
15:06
I'm so confused. If the scavenger hunt says 'something that hurts', and she believes the scavenger hunt and knows that it's going to have to hurt, then why is she saying "promise it wont hurt"? If, on the other hand, she is seeing a flower and believing her eyes that it IS a flower, then (AGAIN), why is she saying "promise it wont hurt"? Why would a flower hurt? That statement is illogical for BOTH of those possibilities.....
The plot sounds a little like if Stephen King wrote Coraline, which sounds pretty cool actually. Too bad it didnt stick the landing.
Sounds par the course for a Stephen King work if you ask me
@@GabyGeorge1996well, adaptations of them. His work in & of itself is good.
@@lyokianhitchhikerexcept when he puts a random child molester in his books for no reason
@@whiteasparagus4331 which books did he do that in?
I dunno, I just sat through Rebel Moon Part II and that's a strong competitor for the prefrontal lobotomy in terms of potential for causing brain damage.
It would probably be winning if I was willing to sit through either parts
@@AmandaTheJedi It's too late for me, save yourself from Snyder's puddle-deep vision!
4:53 the very hungry caterpillar wants to know your location
That would’ve made for a better horror movie than whatever the hell this was
If we never get a horror adaptation of that book, I might do it myself one day. Hey, we got Blood and Honey, why not the caterpillar as well?
I COMPLETELY clicked on this thinking you were about to upset a lot of ryan reynolds fans lmao
"Warm Bodies" is a delight!
My friend and I got The Giggles at cinema, after one of us (I can't remember which) made a "Romeo and Juliet" connection.
If anybody wants to watch a good version of this movie, the Babadook would scratch that itch
Babadook, the gay icon!
Bruh I'm writing a franchise around this idea because the waisted potential pissed me off so much
*YES, THE PLOT SOUNDS SO GOOD.*
The Disney Channel did this better, watch Don't Look Under the Bed for real childhood trauma
You should cover Warm Bodies, that one's kind of fun
The fact that there was only ONE kill in this movie is insane. And this is supposed to be a horror movie.
Remember when it was Freddy who was coming for you?
Good times.
Watching this video, I'm telling myself that the best horror story about an imaginary friend is the comic "Panther" by Brecht Evens, where the imaginary panther is a representation of children's sexual abuse (charming a sad little girl who just lost her kitty cat, telling her to keep his existence a secret, gaslighting her, etc). It's a great comic, both beautiful (it's very colourful) and chilling (there's an awfully creepy scene at the end). That's just a random rec from me ! Thank you for the video Amanda !
I have a cute stuffed centipede from the 80s. Lotsa Lotsa Legs.
Okay, technically, they were marketed as caterpillars, but I'm pretty sure some of them had way too many legs for that.
OMG I ALSO had a Lotsa Legs! :-D
You should do a dumbest movies of the year video. Awards for different types of bad cinema.
React to Blumhouse’s Freaky (2020) starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton.
Yes I'd like that, I thought the movie was pretty good overall and fun but one scene really feels like it doesn't belong in the movie and makes no sense even within a silly body swap horror comedy
The only thing that would make two movies better at once is that if IF has a post-credits/easter egg that connects both movies together
yes! please! warm bodies! my older sister played that (and ✨️Beastly✨️) non stop for well over a year when I was a kid
I have in recent years picked it up in a dollar bin and it's so much fun. I don't often hear people talk about it, atleast not in a youtube video
Blumhouse won at life, since the budget is so low, it’s practically impossible for them to lose a substantial amount of money
This film kept reminding me of "Benny Loves You"
I watched it with my wife and daughters. they got about 10 mins in before they just started playing on their phones.. It literally turned into a live action reboot of Coraline mixed with elements on Labrynth and IT by the end
Blumhouse is the dollar tree of horror now
Pleas Amanda I’m WAITING for your Lisa Frankenstein video 😭😭😭 I know you’ll love it!!!!
Bear is (should be) short for Bartholomew.
Also, this is so disappointing. From the ads on TikTok, I thought it would be a world spanning mass imaginary friend who gets mad that all of his kids grey up and moved on. It'd switch from place to place, person to person, as the population slowly shrinks as a whole generation disappears.
when Amanda is more excited about the sponsorship than the actual movie.
I’m glad someone else was forever scarred by The Butterfly Effect’s “hey teacher” scene 😭
I'm upset with myself for not noticing the bear in the background until about 17 minutes in 😅
Fun and accurate review aside, can I ask where you got the bear plush? It's adorable 🥺
I had that Creepy Crawley Workshop as a kid. We used it once and the house smelled like that burning plastic for months. Later came to find out it was probably good we never used it again. The PlasticGoop put out by Mattel not only stank to high heaven, but gave off some awful toxic compounds to compliment the smell.
I'm not finished the video yet but the "ohh, goodie!" almost took me out. Laptop almost got sprayed in Dr. Pepper as I choked my way through a chuckle. Thanks Amanda 🤣
You know it's a bad movie when Amanda starts the video about it by saying "at least with Night Swim..."
Amanda the Jedi is so underrated yet she's the hero we all need.
Why is Nayuta from Chainsaw Man flipping me the double birds?
So what you’re saying is that Martin Mystery’s episode « Return of the Imaginary Friend » is better and in 22 minutes too.
(I know those words were never said, but it’s an episode in which a disgruntled imaginary friend, also a teddy bear, starts to kidnap the girl’s former friends and turns then into dolls, and gets defeated by friendship and musical chairs)
😄
Omg you need to cover Warm Bodies! You need to do both the movie and the book!!!
5:05
I HAD ONE OF THESE!!!!!! omg the memories....of burning my fingers on the metal ass bug molds.
Fantastic video as always the bear bit was a nice touch. Just found out they are going to be showing a sneak peak of the new Wallace and Gromit movie in the Annency Animation and film festival in France in June, would love to hear your thoughts if you'll be there.
I guess the idea of imaginary friends that have been forgotten and turn evil could be a good horror movie, if done right. It would probably help if its a hard R and ultra violent and the imaginary friends have turned into grotesque twisted abominations from idk something to do with imagination...
yo amanda where did you get that shirt? as a nightmare on elm street fan i need it
I’ll give this movie one note of credit: at least the teddy bear looked like something a child would actually want around them. They didn’t annabelle the thing.
Please cover Warm Bodies!
No cuz I swear I've read a creepy pasta with a lot of similarities!! Especially the imaginary friend giving the kid tasks with the reward of showing where they come from, like it's a guy remembering his imaginary friend putting him thru those tests and the last one was jumping off the roof but he refused which made the friend mad. He eventually comes back to the house and finds out the place the friend wanted to take him to was a graveyard full of kids gravestones or something like that but it's very fuzzy, does anyone else remember this? Are shoddy directors snagging creepypastas and changing them just enough to not have to go through the sometimes impossible task of finding the original author?
mr. widemouth! really effective the first time you hear/read it. much better than this slop.
When I was a child my mom bought a house in the countryside. My bedroom had a built in vanity table. Underneath the table to the side was a random hole that lead to a small locked door a la coraline. I never opened that s*** up the entire year we lived there! No one in my house did, I don’t understand how kids in movies just be going and investigating random scary s***.
I also was deeply disturbed when I watched James and the Giant Peach as a child, good story, but the animation is absolutely haunting.
Honestly the worst thing about imaginary is that i actually like the concept of having an imaginary friend be the monster, yet they had to go for something boring and confusing. I can even think of a better version of this concept in one comment, have it be where an older kid or teen still has an imaginary friend and when they get bullied for still having one, show the hints of horror like the next day the kids go missing and more things go the kid's way like something as small as a cookie jar on a high shelf they can't reach somehow getting to them or them wanting to see a bird and a bird is brought into the room but was clearly injured by something, and especially don't have the kid be oblivious or encourage it, have them be concerned like "why is the bird hurt" or just anything to show the kid won't just blindly follow them. And if you wanna keep the whole never ever dimension stuff have it be where it just appears in the room rather than something as complicated as drawing a door and most importantly have it look colorful and fun at first, something a kid would actually wanna stay in and have the kid's specific room be the one that's dark and scary like it matches their mental state. And most importantly, show us what the kid sees don't just give us hints of the imaginary friend being a monster until the end show us more instances of the imaginary friend being an actual creature.
There, i thought of something at least slightly more interesting than what we got.
Ryan Reynold's IF looks like a Better Imaginary Friend film then this.
Awesome “Directed by Wes Craven” shirt, nice reference/tribute
Things this movie has going for it:
1. An enjoyably silly monster design
2. Catchy theme song
3. The lead actress was mostly ok
4. That's it.
Everything else is just "Coraline but worse". And the Child's Play franchise looks like Scorsese compared to this bland dialogue.
I havent seen it.. Mista gg also said it was boring as fuck, and you two are the only movie critics i trust so.... guess what im not wasting time watching😂🎉
Yes! Please cover Warm Bodies! The movie and the books (there are 4!) they deserve to be talked about.
tangeantally related, PLEASE watch the Chucky franchise
Warm bodies is GREAT
Warm Bodies should be a PERFECT movie for you to cover!!
I would love to see a Warm Bodies review omg what a throwback
