“i dropped out in the fourth grade to run drugs to support my nana.” “that means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.”
Your bored "daaaaaaaamns" going straight into the "Don't stop baby keep on moving" had me absolutely rolling. Any seriousness these scenes could've had just completely gone.
Tbf, this is probably _the_ most accurate depiction of how cringeworthy, shy theatre kids in school would act and talk in this scenario because they think it's "badass" and "deep."
I first heard about this movie in a forum for the columbine rpg game. There was a weird community I kind of became a part of and one of the members was casually promoting a movie they worked on that had elements of the stuff we kind of obsessed over already. (This was kind of before the true crime stuff was so normalized, we were still weirdos at that time.) As cringey as it is, it is kind of cool to see it from that context. Not a great movie, but it is cool to see it from that perspective and knowing that some regular weirdos managed to work on an actual movie. Didn't like the movie, but it's cool to see someone make their attempt at a passion project.
From IMDB Trivia: "The "guards" in the woods are actually 3 other outcasts from school (seen on the school stairs and in the cafeteria). They are not the same outcasts as the ones in the party house, even though they are wearing the same costumes. This was meant to confuse the police when it was all over. Due to time constraints, this subplot was cut from the film, and is only subtly explained."
Well, to be fair, that's done on purpose. There's a scene earlier in the movie where she's watching "Audition" (although I don't think they ever show you the screen) and she says to the guy on the phone, "It's perfect." That was their way of setting up the idea that they were going to use techniques from popular horror movies to torture and kill their victims. Which is kind of a cool concept, but then she ended up being the only one to do it. 🤷♀ I did like that when she put the first needles in, she says "deeper, deeper," which is what the woman in "Audition" is saying. The idea had potential, but they didn't follow through.
@@Kristine_202 think this movie had a LOT of potential to be actual spooky and terrifying. A big part of it's downfall are the insanely flat 1 dimensional characters and insane luck that the kids had getting every single person to drink that night (I'm sorry but even as a kid when I was watching the movie I wondered what would have happened in a single person decided they didn't want to drink that night) I've mentioned the characters but really the atmosphere isn't spooky there's no attention buildup really. I was going to go into a thing and give examples about what the movie could have done better to make it an actual good horror movie, not saying as it is now it isn't a guilty pleasure, but I honestly don't remember the movie all that much to be able to give detailed examples and I kind of don't really care. I just think this could have been an actually awesome movie.
there was a kid at my school who was obsessed with ww1 & ww2 and dressed up as a nazi for halloween back in 2019. i see a LOT of him in the nazi kid in this movie.
The kid in the motorcycle at the end was one of the three brothers who were told to guard the place while the bullies were being tortured. The other 2 brothers died, so he’s the only kid from the bullied group that survived. There was a one-off line explaining it, but it’s easy to miss since this movie is…well, it is what it is lol.
so he just went on living his life after he was involved in the planning of this event? no legal consequences? im assuming he was in on it since he was bullied and being a look out so that the bullies could be tortured and killed.
@@SleezyMoves Seeing as all the other bullied kids died, and he was outside the whole time, only Curtis (the kid everyone liked) knew he was involved, and told no one about him cause...yeah idk. Also, at the end of the movie, there's a news report of the aftermath saying that the bullies were tortured "without reason", take that as you will.
@@jewel8425 yes. But she was one of the bullies, not one who got bullied. They’re saying all the kids who GOT bullied (the ones who planned the Final) died in the end, except for motorcycle bro
I spent this entire time trying to figure out why the leader looked familiar. It's Derek from Degrassi!! He went from being coached by Drake to being bullied by Spinner knock offs
lol. Yup. That's who I recognized too. I do find it amusing how he's playing a bully victim in this, but in season nine of Degrassi, he was a bully. Like, he kind of bullied a fourteen year old Clare and he kicked the crap out of Jane when she was on the football team.

@@alicethemad1613I believe the minority students might have faced some bullying, the weirdo white kids faced the same.

@@GalinaEv ehh that's kind of like the "videos cause violence" line of logic. Some viewers might get a kind of catharsis from this or weird sense of joy but a majority of people can separate a movie like this from reality.
To be clear, while I do suspect that this movie’s main (and perhaps even target) audience is whackos who are just in it for the torture porn (whether to watch bullies get their comeuppance or to watch a specific hot girl get tortured or whatever other weird stuff), I don’t think that means it’s bad or invalid art. I think the idea that it “might give them ideas” is very silly on its face. They came into the movie specifically to watch acts of violent torture and murder. What is the movie going to show them that they couldn’t think of if they wanted to already? I think the only possible “harm” that a movie like this could do (and I don’t think it’s harmful, but some people might) is simply to give pleasure and catharsis to “bad people” who just wanna watch people suffer.
@@stevethebarbarian9876 sure, i guess i was wondering what was the idea in the creators heads - like they got together and said : let's make a movie where teens torture bullies and then die. on the other hand , there was smth like you will klli your friends if you don't stop. but the message is too thin for me)))
I love these movies that try to make you side with the bullied kids and then the characters are so insufferable that YOU want to bully them Talk about being oblivious to the things you're writing
Also, just so you know, the star ratings on Amazon Prime aren't really accurate because they include people who like ordered the BluRay and received it in good condition thus gave it 5 stars.
Even as a teenager i would have questioned why cutting off someone else's fingers was a good idea in the long run, it would make your day in court so much worse when the disfingering comes to light
I watched this movie years ago when I was younger and thought, man this is a good movie, and ended up talking about it to my class. Now that I look back the only thought I have is, man I fucking hate myself for thinking this was a good movie and talking about it infront of like 20/30 people. What the fuck must I have been smoking to think this was a good movie. I cringed so hard when I realized, hey I watched movie.
I just realised what vibe this movie has It’s like a school shooter fantasy movie without being explicitly about a school shooter Especially with like- the nazi uniform, the incessant monologuing, the fact that the last kid shoots himself after cops arrive- I has those vibes
oh my GODDDD, i watched this when i was like 10, i thought it was so #deep and #relatable, like yess, revenge on the bullies. years later, i had remembered it and went searching for what it was called to no avail, my only lead was that i had *thought* the main bullied girl was ariel winter (in my foggy memory i guess she looked like her 😭 but clearly not LMFAO...), and so when i obviously didn't find it under her repertoire, i was convinced i had somehow made the whole thing up. and THISSS is how i rediscover it? bahahaha ty GG
Even as a kid I knew the people TORTURING AND MURDERING PEOPLE were the bad guys. I didn't understand the nuance of them all being bad people and blah blah.
lol. I mean, the main bullied girl does look somewhat familiar, though I can't figure out from what? The person I recognized was the white bullied boy who was kind of jacked. Mostly because he played an extremely annoying character on Degrassi who was basically a bully (bullied a fourteen year old girl when he was a senior in high school and physically attacked a girl on the football team and kicked the shit out of her until another member of the football team came along and stopped it).
i come back to this video whenever i’m not doing hot mentally, and then i get “don’t stop baby keep it movin” stuck in my head for several days. this video heals me
I legit totally forgot I watched this movie years ago until the doll masked American Mary-looking member of the group showed up. I had an inkling I may have after seeing Ravi and the weird prayer circle, but I wasn't sure. While I don't think movies always have some sort of obligation of being a morality play, I do take issue with the fact that, if one *is* going to at least show some kind of "satisfying" revenge porn/wish fulfillment aspect addressing bullying (as most that get bullied don't get resolutions and always carry that fear and vulnerability and most bullies are just fine and get on with their lives without consequence or too much remorse) they ought to do it well. This movie made me dislike everyone and just felt like everyone ended up much worse.
the julin review banging on about how good the acting is. like...did we watch the same movie? when was i supposed to sympathise with dane (so i could later learn the lesson that Bad Plus Bad Does Not Equal Good) because he was not enjoyable or well written from the start
The new format was a nice change from the usual movie reviews AND now I know that the movie isn't that great without having to sit through the whole thing. 10/10 a productive video GG.
I love revenge fantasy media as much as anyone, but damn. I was bullied and as much as I hated my bullies, even in a fictional sense I'd never want it to go this far. It just seems to make the main characters unlikable and be too intense to actively enjoy the bullies "getting what was coming to them". Because what they deserved was to be told off or for their bullying to come back to bite them, not to be literally killed and tortured. Like, on a writing standpoint, I feel like if characters would go this quickly to these lengths without much thought, they kind of weren't sympathetic in the first place. That's just my opinion though, and I actually really enjoyed this low-energy review. Felt like watching a bad movie with my friend on the couch.
Yeah I can only enjoy revenge movies like this if the characters doing the revenge are actually likable and I feel bad for them/want justice for them like in the ‘I Spit On Your Grave’ films.
my take is that it’s a commentary on how people like, school shooters for example, are the victims (of bullying), but the second they start killing for revenge they become worse than the people who were bullying them. I think that’s kinda further proved by Ravi’s death, where he is killed by his own “friend” for ruining said friend’s sadistic plot for revenge. I might be giving this movie too much credit tho it kinda devolves into edginess for the sake of edginess and torture porn.
There was some friends that were triplets and they patrolled the outside.....at the end the 1 kid on the motorcycle was the only triplet that didn't get killed
I watched this a while back and the best thing I can say about this movie is that it was unintentionally hilarious in places, especially when all the "bullied kids" ended up getting themselves eviscerated because they weren't exactly the smartest
I’m in love with the movie commentary style in your reviews!! So this is a great bonus! Thank you for the extra content!! PS, know I’m rewatching most, if not all, of your movie reviews. I started binging after your latest review (like most times after a review) and I can’t ever stop! Keep going GG, can’t wait for all of the content you give!
This movie looks like what'd be the first couple minutes of a Fist of the North Star episode. Group of stupid looking thugs hold a large group captive, kill a few, force some to cut others' fingers off, and the Kenshiro comes in and just eviscerates them and leaves. Definitely doesn't need to be a feature length movie
"A Black guy went for help, but all his friends died because some racists tied him up for 8 hours" is honestly a little too close to home to some true crime stories.
@@Leo-uq6jp Let the record show Leo here takes issue with "too close to home to some true crime stories" as a descriptor. Noted, Leo! Now why don't YOU go find a true crime where a black man was imprisoned so everyone can know how right you are?
The amount of serotonin I got by just seeing that this video exists has to be more than 2. The commentary has me wheezing and the feeling of finally seeing a video of someone commentating on this movie is indescribable Also I’m so glad you got as confused by the villain body count as I did. I genuinely could not figure out why random kids were outside when everyone was inside smh
Your commentary on this one was effortlessly top tier, I laughed out loud more times than I can count. Major “booooo” to Lionsgate for copyright claiming, ridiculous : ( Happy New Year GG!
This is a lovely and hilarious change of pace to most GG videos. How can one guy have so much diversity with his content, while being wonderfully entertaining each time? Ya covering so many lanes here, GG! It’s wild
I have been trying to find this movie for years after watching it with some friends simply because I remembered it being baffling edgy, I am so happy I can finally end my search thanks to you GG 😂
Fair critique, my explanation of the ending. The black guy was second guessing being friends with the new kid (the biker kid) who perceives to be “a weird emo kid”. Who most likely will get bully. But the problem isn’t being friends or not being friends with the weird kid. The problem was going to the party. Or at least doing some background research about the party you plan on attending lol
On a real note though it sucks how little bullies get any real repercussions for their actions. That’s why shit like these movies happen fictionally or irl because vulnerable people get taken advantage of and have no outlet so it eventually results in these outbursts. We need more help for people in those situations and actual repercussions for bullying. That said what happened in this movie isn’t okay irl and I hope anyone affected by anything such as shootings is doing okay
I get why a lot of teenagers with revenge fantasies like this movie. But as an adult, it defiantly felt like a teenagers revenge fanfic that I’m not super into.
I had to double-check, but my eyes did not deceive me. SS Andy is none other thank Spanky from The Little Rascals. Man, did that kids life take a turn lmao
I think what threw me out the most of this movie is, as a black person, the dude running towards a cop calling for help and not expecting to get shot. And then holding a gun and running to another person's house for help after almost getting shot by a police officer. I think it's cool that he's one of the decent ones and isn't immediately killed off, but, like. My man. Come on.
It was wayyyy too early in the morning for me to be trying to hold back giggles like that. Love the snarky love commentary, it was giving Millenial MST3k.
I've been trying to figure out who the heck the main dude in the gas mask keeps reminding me of and I finally realized he looks like a younger Stewart from _Big Bang Theory_
I just want to point out the main bullied guy/the leader played on the tv show, Degrassi. In season nine of that show, he was a real bully. Like, he bullied a fourteen year old girl and he kicked the crap out of another female character who'd joined the football team.
i cant believe i used to be scared of the idea that my dad would force me to watch this (he often used horror movies as a threat- then threatened to re-enact them on me)
i watched this movie when i was 7 or 8 years old and have randomly thought about it for the last 16ish years. i was never able to remember the name and i cant believe i finally have an answer
This was amazing. So hilarious. It seemed like you had way too much fun with this one. You must have been drinking that good stuff. Are you back on that Hard Watermelon Lemonade?! Lol
I really enjoyed the live com movie video idea especially when you can cram a whole hour and a half movie to a two hour movie into a 20 minute video it’s like the perfect short form video please do more
I stopped watching this snoozefest at the finger scene when I caught it on (Netflix? I don't remember) a few years ago. I only liked "The Audition" girl's costume
Oh man what a blast from the past... Originally watched this film when it was part of the After Dark Horrorfest / Films to Die For and if you haven't heard of that, it was basically a showcase of budget/independent horror films. It's a rabbit hole to go down nowadays. A big issue with After Dark Horrofest featured films is that so many take themselves too seriously to the point where if it's bad, it's got no awareness and no enjoyment. Unfortunately I remember The Final being one of the better ones from that year despite its flaws but Dread (2009) was the standout from that year and the series as a whole and one I bring up from time to time; it's worth a watch in my opinion. There's a few that I still think about to this day for one reason or another like Frontière(s) (2007) which is like a french Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Gravedancers (2008) which is just fun to watch with the right people. Highly suggest looking into the After Dark Horrfest / 8 Films to Die For if you get the chance, but know a lot of the films are boring slogs...but there are some decent gems in there
If this movie was rewritten by a better writing team I think it would have done a lot better. What I did like, was the bits with the black boy. the race commentary was pretty on point (minus him showing up at someone's house with a gun, and the clown boy getting killed). The fact that he (the black guy) did nothing wrong when running for help, was given more hostility than the white characters who actually were committing a crime. The fact he had to create a story just so the neighbor could identify with him to get him to be less suspicious of him, and even had him make a false report to the police just so they'd show up faster. If there were more of this the movie would make more sense.
I loved this movie when I was a dumb highschool kid in the age of Fearnet. Also kinda sad that most of the racist banter in this movie is more believable than most mainstream shit currently
This movie bored the balls out of me and Lionsgate also copyright claimed this video.
So just enjoy the extra content guys lol

“My dad was two when he was gunned down in the jungle” is the funniest line I’ve ever heard in a movie
I'm so glad there are other ppl as fucking blown away by this as me
I can’t believe how much it was glossed over. The delivery of it made it even better
He meant "my dad was too" in reference to the war metals on the wall
“i dropped out in the fourth grade to run drugs to support my nana.” “that means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.”
"he" actually refers to his grandfather mentioned in the line before
Honestly I’d be perfectly fine with the nonchalant movie reviews from time to time
Same, reminds me of the good old days. The Hatred review was FIRE

What the fuck must I have been smoking to think this was a good movie. I cringed so hard when I realized, hey I watched movie.
I just realised what vibe this movie has
It’s like a school shooter fantasy movie without being explicitly about a school shooter
Especially with like- the nazi uniform, the incessant monologuing, the fact that the last kid shoots himself after cops arrive- I has those vibes
oh my GODDDD, i watched this when i was like 10, i thought it was so #deep and #relatable, like yess, revenge on the bullies. years later, i had remembered it and went searching for what it was called to no avail, my only lead was that i had *thought* the main bullied girl was ariel winter (in my foggy memory i guess she looked like her 😭 but clearly not LMFAO...), and so when i obviously didn't find it under her repertoire, i was convinced i had somehow made the whole thing up. and THISSS is how i rediscover it? bahahaha ty GG
Do you still think it's deep or relatable?
@Daniel F no, that was my kid brain talking.
Even as a kid I knew the people TORTURING AND MURDERING PEOPLE were the bad guys. I didn't understand the nuance of them all being bad people and blah blah.
lol. I mean, the main bullied girl does look somewhat familiar, though I can't figure out from what? The person I recognized was the white bullied boy who was kind of jacked. Mostly because he played an extremely annoying character on Degrassi who was basically a bully (bullied a fourteen year old girl when he was a senior in high school and physically attacked a girl on the football team and kicked the shit out of her until another member of the football team came along and stopped it).
@user-cj1gw3rx7g Yeah that's what I'm saying
This movie is literally just the “Killing myself in front of you to forever change your bond and the trajectory of your lives” tweet.
i come back to this video whenever i’m not doing hot mentally, and then i get “don’t stop baby keep it movin” stuck in my head for several days. this video heals me
I legit totally forgot I watched this movie years ago until the doll masked American Mary-looking member of the group showed up. I had an inkling I may have after seeing Ravi and the weird prayer circle, but I wasn't sure. While I don't think movies always have some sort of obligation of being a morality play, I do take issue with the fact that, if one *is* going to at least show some kind of "satisfying" revenge porn/wish fulfillment aspect addressing bullying (as most that get bullied don't get resolutions and always carry that fear and vulnerability and most bullies are just fine and get on with their lives without consequence or too much remorse) they ought to do it well. This movie made me dislike everyone and just felt like everyone ended up much worse.
the julin review banging on about how good the acting is. like...did we watch the same movie? when was i supposed to sympathise with dane (so i could later learn the lesson that Bad Plus Bad Does Not Equal Good) because he was not enjoyable or well written from the start
I thought the message was that the torturers are bad and not justified
5:08 was so funny for no reason lol the way you went into the song with the onscreen dog graphics 😭😭
The new format was a nice change from the usual movie reviews AND now I know that the movie isn't that great without having to sit through the whole thing. 10/10 a productive video GG.
I love revenge fantasy media as much as anyone, but damn. I was bullied and as much as I hated my bullies, even in a fictional sense I'd never want it to go this far. It just seems to make the main characters unlikable and be too intense to actively enjoy the bullies "getting what was coming to them". Because what they deserved was to be told off or for their bullying to come back to bite them, not to be literally killed and tortured. Like, on a writing standpoint, I feel like if characters would go this quickly to these lengths without much thought, they kind of weren't sympathetic in the first place. That's just my opinion though, and I actually really enjoyed this low-energy review. Felt like watching a bad movie with my friend on the couch.
Yeah I can only enjoy revenge movies like this if the characters doing the revenge are actually likable and I feel bad for them/want justice for them like in the ‘I Spit On Your Grave’ films.
my take is that it’s a commentary on how people like, school shooters for example, are the victims (of bullying), but the second they start killing for revenge they become worse than the people who were bullying them. I think that’s kinda further proved by Ravi’s death, where he is killed by his own “friend” for ruining said friend’s sadistic plot for revenge. I might be giving this movie too much credit tho it kinda devolves into edginess for the sake of edginess and torture porn.
There was some friends that were triplets and they patrolled the outside.....at the end the 1 kid on the motorcycle was the only triplet that didn't get killed
"That guy looks too correct in that outifit"
Me- RIGHT?!?!?!?
"Freelance Accupuncture" is more terrifying the most I think about it 🤣
I watched this a while back and the best thing I can say about this movie is that it was unintentionally hilarious in places, especially when all the "bullied kids" ended up getting themselves eviscerated because they weren't exactly the smartest
I’m in love with the movie commentary style in your reviews!! So this is a great bonus! Thank you for the extra content!!
PS, know I’m rewatching most, if not all, of your movie reviews. I started binging after your latest review (like most times after a review) and I can’t ever stop! Keep going GG, can’t wait for all of the content you give!
This movie looks like what'd be the first couple minutes of a Fist of the North Star episode. Group of stupid looking thugs hold a large group captive, kill a few, force some to cut others' fingers off, and the Kenshiro comes in and just eviscerates them and leaves. Definitely doesn't need to be a feature length movie
"A Black guy went for help, but all his friends died because some racists tied him up for 8 hours" is honestly a little too close to home to some true crime stories.
pls name one
@@Lenn869 Ralph Yarl was a black teenager shot in the head and arm just for knocking on a door.
Is that good enough for you?
if that´s the most dramatic one you could come up with, i guess i´ll take it@@coyoteclockworkstudios3140
@@coyoteclockworkstudios3140No, thats totally different from what you described
@@Leo-uq6jp Let the record show Leo here takes issue with "too close to home to some true crime stories" as a descriptor.
Noted, Leo! Now why don't YOU go find a true crime where a black man was imprisoned so everyone can know how right you are?
The amount of serotonin I got by just seeing that this video exists has to be more than 2. The commentary has me wheezing and the feeling of finally seeing a video of someone commentating on this movie is indescribable
Also I’m so glad you got as confused by the villain body count as I did. I genuinely could not figure out why random kids were outside when everyone was inside smh
I didn't know you could measure serotonin as an abstract in numbers lmao, news to me
Your commentary on this one was effortlessly top tier, I laughed out loud more times than I can count. Major “booooo” to Lionsgate for copyright claiming, ridiculous : ( Happy New Year GG!
The one guy dressed as the welder played Spanky in The Little rascals.
He gave him the nod to say.."hey, the black guy didn't die 1st in this movie." LMAO somehow we survived after being tied up. I'd call it a WIN 🏆
don't stop baby, keep it movin
This is a lovely and hilarious change of pace to most GG videos. How can one guy have so much diversity with his content, while being wonderfully entertaining each time? Ya covering so many lanes here, GG! It’s wild
I have been trying to find this movie for years after watching it with some friends simply because I remembered it being baffling edgy, I am so happy I can finally end my search thanks to you GG 😂
Fair critique, my explanation of the ending. The black guy was second guessing being friends with the new kid (the biker kid) who perceives to be “a weird emo kid”. Who most likely will get bully. But the problem isn’t being friends or not being friends with the weird kid. The problem was going to the party. Or at least doing some background research about the party you plan on attending lol
Still sadly enjoy the torture porn of it all for the same reason as that one review. #fuckbullies
The horror in this movie is the unacknowledged racism and hate crimes
On a real note though it sucks how little bullies get any real repercussions for their actions. That’s why shit like these movies happen fictionally or irl because vulnerable people get taken advantage of and have no outlet so it eventually results in these outbursts. We need more help for people in those situations and actual repercussions for bullying. That said what happened in this movie isn’t okay irl and I hope anyone affected by anything such as shootings is doing okay
I get why a lot of teenagers with revenge fantasies like this movie.
But as an adult, it defiantly felt like a teenagers revenge fanfic that I’m not super into.
“I remember when I was 35 in high school” HAHAHA
"God send us a sign"
Thou shalt not murder not clear to you?
I had to double-check, but my eyes did not deceive me. SS Andy is none other thank Spanky from The Little Rascals. Man, did that kids life take a turn lmao
I think what threw me out the most of this movie is, as a black person, the dude running towards a cop calling for help and not expecting to get shot. And then holding a gun and running to another person's house for help after almost getting shot by a police officer.
I think it's cool that he's one of the decent ones and isn't immediately killed off, but, like. My man. Come on.
I loved this format, so chill and fun for movies we probably wouldn't watch on our own! Please keep it up!
It was wayyyy too early in the morning for me to be trying to hold back giggles like that. Love the snarky love commentary, it was giving Millenial MST3k.
Why is no one talking about how during the credits it literally says "edited on finalcut pro" omg
This movie is what would happen if a bunch of bullied teens decided to LARP as Jigsaw
YO THE NAZI KID ANDY IS SPANKY FROM THE 1994 LITTLE RASCALS MOVIE LOL
I _thought_ he looked familiar! But I thought it was just because he looks like a tiny Mark Shepherd.
I've been trying to figure out who the heck the main dude in the gas mask keeps reminding me of and I finally realized he looks like a younger Stewart from _Big Bang Theory_
I just want to point out the main bullied guy/the leader played on the tv show, Degrassi. In season nine of that show, he was a real bully. Like, he bullied a fourteen year old girl and he kicked the crap out of another female character who'd joined the football team.
ok, but a cheap horror movie where the black guy lives? this is a first for me.
i cant believe i used to be scared of the idea that my dad would force me to watch this (he often used horror movies as a threat- then threatened to re-enact them on me)
That severely escalates depending on the horror movie. Like live action Scooby Doo or the hills have eyes kinda horror?
@@ashleylongley1628 Megan is Missing levels actually (i.e; threatening to get the villain to take me)
This movie is so forgettable, it for real took me 5 min of this video before realizing I've actually seen this movie...
I just got Pitfall songs out of my head, now him and Bad Baby are having a party in my head and my dream girls are loving it.
After your last video about No Exit, I'm excited for the next GG video
This radiates Amusement that YMS reviewed. Just don't make an elaborate psychological thriller when all you've ever written is a batman fanfiction
Nothing worse than being bullied by 30year old high students.
I bet Andy wasn't an actor. Just a dude, who randomly walked in in that outfit, and none dared to question him.
i watched this movie when i was 7 or 8 years old and have randomly thought about it for the last 16ish years. i was never able to remember the name and i cant believe i finally have an answer
I guess that's why Derek disappeared from Degrassi with no explanation.
Because clearly this was the better choice.
This is your best review/commentary EVER!!!
Man, these highschool stage productions are getting more and more elaborate.
the girl who was bullied is played by the lady who played Maya Fey in the Ace Attorney anime and it fucking kills me because i can’t unhear it now
This was amazing. So hilarious. It seemed like you had way too much fun with this one. You must have been drinking that good stuff. Are you back on that Hard Watermelon Lemonade?! Lol
Happy New Year man! Can't wait to spend another year with this channel. This is the year of a million subs, I feel it.
I really enjoyed the live com movie video idea especially when you can cram a whole hour and a half movie to a two hour movie into a 20 minute video it’s like the perfect short form video please do more
Mista GG’s commentary is the best
I didn't realize I recognized this movie until it got to the Halloween party. Shows how forgettable it was...lol
YAY! My favorite RUclipsr ❤
Amazon Prime always seems to have WAY higher scores than on other platforms for whatever reason.
Love you GG! And love your “disturbing” movie content.
The Shia Labeouf guy looks like that one meme where the guy is sitting next to the girl trying not to fart and his forehead is straining
I stopped watching this snoozefest at the finger scene when I caught it on (Netflix? I don't remember) a few years ago. I only liked "The Audition" girl's costume
Omgggg that’s so crazy I forgot about this movie. I made a spin-off story/presentation of this movie when I was 9 💀💀💀💀
Thank you for giving me something to watch while I sit and wait for these ain’t shit DoorDash orders to come thru 🙏
What you gonna watch when it comes?
Are you a Doordasher or a Doordashee? Because my s$!t never got delivered yesterday because they claimed they couldn’t find my house and I’m pissed!
The main guy used to be a scrawny side character in Degrassi and I got the vibe that this movie was him living out his main character fantasy.
4:10 this edit I’m crying 💀
The Logic bits take the cake here haha
Oh man what a blast from the past... Originally watched this film when it was part of the After Dark Horrorfest / Films to Die For and if you haven't heard of that, it was basically a showcase of budget/independent horror films. It's a rabbit hole to go down nowadays. A big issue with After Dark Horrofest featured films is that so many take themselves too seriously to the point where if it's bad, it's got no awareness and no enjoyment. Unfortunately I remember The Final being one of the better ones from that year despite its flaws but Dread (2009) was the standout from that year and the series as a whole and one I bring up from time to time; it's worth a watch in my opinion. There's a few that I still think about to this day for one reason or another like Frontière(s) (2007) which is like a french Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Gravedancers (2008) which is just fun to watch with the right people. Highly suggest looking into the After Dark Horrfest / 8 Films to Die For if you get the chance, but know a lot of the films are boring slogs...but there are some decent gems in there
If this movie was rewritten by a better writing team I think it would have done a lot better. What I did like, was the bits with the black boy. the race commentary was pretty on point (minus him showing up at someone's house with a gun, and the clown boy getting killed). The fact that he (the black guy) did nothing wrong when running for help, was given more hostility than the white characters who actually were committing a crime. The fact he had to create a story just so the neighbor could identify with him to get him to be less suspicious of him, and even had him make a false report to the police just so they'd show up faster. If there were more of this the movie would make more sense.
Reeeecism
@@Sarah-qx4vz I'm black.
I loved this movie when I was a dumb highschool kid in the age of Fearnet. Also kinda sad that most of the racist banter in this movie is more believable than most mainstream shit currently
oh my god childhood memory unlocked?? i watched this movie way too young
Is that the guy from the sweating and vein popping out of head meme?!
