The tiger story was about Russian poacher Vladimir Markov. Markov wounded a tiger and stole some of it's kill. The tiger escaped, stalked Markov to his hunting lodge and killed him. Dragging him into the brush and partially devoring him. Then it destroyed the interior of the cabin before disappearing in the wild.

One of the creators once said that while designing these things, they basically just threw all horror tropes into a pile and ended up with this thing. Makes sense.
If their original prey was troglydytes, I'd imagine their teeth clacking would be far more devastating to their prey than it is to us given their prey would be very reliant on sound. It is a nice touch that the teeth clacking doesn't seem to be overly effective on humans.
@@-Eternal-Damnation- I would presume so since they essentially live in pitch blackness. I suppose they could make do with other senses, but hearing seems like it would be the one most likely heightened. At the very least, they are nowhere near as dependent on vision as we are.
@@-Eternal-Damnation- Yes. Troglodytes, and troglophiles to an extent, rely heavily on sound due to their subterranean lifestyles. This might come as a shocker, but there's ZERO light inside caves. Troglophiles do have the added advantage of having some semblance of working eyesight as they come up to the surface at night to hunt, but these things I think were initially troglodytes that were forced into becoming troglophiles as a means of survival due to the aforementioned pollution caused by humanity.

Doesn't really matter how easy they are to kill if there are hundreds of thousands (or millions) of them that suddenly pop out of the ground and start eating people whole and alive. There's no legitimate protocol for "sudden invasion of cave dwelling starfish chimps"
@justapillow2443 that's actually exactly how the zombies in Max Brook's World War Z novel overrun the military in Yonkers. Can't shock and awe something that doesn't get shocked or awed.
This is one of the few times where I'm still very confused by what a creature is even after Roanoke described it. The creatures' design is very good, at least, and the way they animate them slamming their jaw open and shut is disturbing. So at least the movie has that going for it. Also love the lesson on how to homebrew penicilin.
I'm still confused as to where the "inner mouth" is coming from. The shots used don't show it very well. Like, is it a phyringial jaw thing, like it sounds? Because it _looks_ more like it's chest is splitting open or something.
@@johnathanmonsen6567 I rewatched that shot a few times and it does look like the mouth was coming from the creature's chest, which would also explain why the mom's body was in the chest of the creature when it was chilling in the bathroom later. Though in other scenes, we see the creature attack with its jaws and teeth? So I don't know if the creature eats with its mouth or with that external chest mouth. It's very confusing.
@@johnathanmonsen6567 It seems to be the stomach coming out, like a starfish can. Also the mouth thing strikes me too much like a shoebill stork. Goo look it up.
Fun fact! The director said he based the design of the monsters off Goofy (Yes...Disney's goofy) which is pretty evident with the Jaw snapping scene around the end
I really wish this movie was better, because I love the monster design. It's really creepy and I could easily see it being a great "monster starts hunting isolated farmer family" movie
Yeaahhh given how one of them could be killed by two teenagers/YA there is no way those things managed to collapse society lol like tanks and machine guns exist
Absolutely! Those things are no joke nightmare fuel. You can tell Roanoke agrees, as well, from his reactions. The sheer uncannyness of the fake face and the split-head mouth and clacking, and the way (as Roanoke predicted) it moves more like a fluid than an animal. It's always a shame when good creature design is poorly implemented.
Like many horror movies, some decisions in this one make absolutely no sense. However, with that being said, this movie could really benefit from a prequel (and/or sequel) that explains exactly what the hell is going, and how we got to this point in the first place.
The designs of the creatures are just so cool to me, the gangly build, the way they move their heads and necks almost like snakes, the fact they’ve got a seperate face on their face etc etc It’s just such an unconventional design and I utterly adore it
I love how Nic Cage films these days have to have the script re-written so Nic's character only has as much screentime as they paid him for. It's a weird casting choice because if Nic chooses your project you can't possibly say no, but at the same time there goes the entire budget.
Your theory does not make sense. Cage isn't Cameron Mitchell getting paid for a walk on cameo. Also, Cage is a producer on the film so clearly he is involved beyond what you suggest
From what I recall, Nic Cage is at the point in his life and career that he can afford to do only the things he wants. He'll produce films and take the hit financially just because he likes the idea.
Man teaches us how to make penicillin - good thing I'm not allergic to it. No sir, no horrible life threatening reaction to one of the greatest antibiotics on Earth.
Taught in a distilled and poignant form at that. Very easy to make. If anyone still can't remember how to make it after this then you probably shouldn't survive if SHTF. Also I too am totally not deathly allergic to it. Yup, definitely not allergic.
I was allergic to penicillin until I was 20 so out grew it so had to stay away from dog bites and not get bacterial infections but I just got a dead leg or arm when it was infected in those places but didn't affect my life to much
Aren't there so many forms of penicillin-resistant bacteria nowadays that it's basically worthless anyways? I remember having to swab places around the house for bacteria samples for a biology lab in community college and the penicilin just got ignored.
Something i hadnt considered,. they never USE the claws as weapons in the movie bit it makes sense that they can grow super fast. If it breaks off while theyre digging tunnels they can just grow new claws.
I thought it stabbed Charlotte’s mother in the side when it got on top of her on the bed, maybe to hold her in place to swallow her whole idk. Sounded like a vaguely wet stabbing noise and she screamed She seemed wounded when crawling away
This movie was so dark. I mean visually. Seriously, I had to strain my eyes during the night scenes. Still have no idea what was going on in that tub, couldn't for the life of me see it. And it's such a shame, because the the monster designs are actually pretty cool. It's goofy, yes. With the clapping and chattering like joke-teeth, or those annoying clapping toys. But that's part of the appeal. Like with Killer Klownz, the odd juxtaposition between quirky and scary makes it. You see it and you think Pluto from Disney = funny looking. But then it starts charging at you whilst chomping away = scary. Dunno if the intentional darkness was like an afterthought after someone got concerned that the monsters weren't scary looking enough. Or they were simply employing that Jaws thing of not showing the monster to make it scarier. That doesn't work for all things. Sometimes, you gotta embrace and really lean into it.
The monsters don't actually eat with the mouths in their heads, they split their chest open and shoot their stomach out to swallow their prey whole. The monster in the tub was lounging around digesting Charlotte's mother. You could see the shape of a human in its stomach.
It’s a pretty common technique in visual media. Darker movies can improve atmosphere and cover poor-quality CGI, but sometimes directors don’t understand how to use it properly.
Ah yes, the projectable, manipulable chest stomach. A classic Primate trait. Had to have my own projectable manipulable chest stomach checked out last week when the webbing on my left side started to ache. Turns out it was projectable manipulable chest stomach cancer, but it was caught early, so I'm okay now.
I mean, goblin sharks can shoot their jaws out of their mouth. Starfish expel their stomachs to pre-digest their prey before slurping it up. There could maybe be some even more nightmarish abomination out there with a, uh, stomach mouth thing.
@@fawnieee theres a theory that was explained on the Joe Rogan Podcast that explained why Psychopaths still exist, basically in the days of tribes having a few psychopaths on your side during skirmishes was very helpful and allowed some of them to survive and have a purpose with out being singled out and killed off. Technically speaking, Psychopaths would likely be the last humans left in an end of the world event, they wouldnt be stricken by the same morals most people would.
My cats don't just know what a door is, they can open it. They jump to the handle and one hangs on it, while the other runs against the door to open it 😂

very right about the gas point, but keep in mind, he who hordes the gas has cornered the varnish market!. now we only have to create a demand for apocalyptic paint removal services
27:40 Anyone else think that the external mouth looks like a vampire squid? Also, the void in it's back/stomach with the limb sticking out in the tub? I have a lot of trouble figuring out the anatomy of this creature, and I am an organismal biology major! I was literally yelling out wtf did I just see, soooo many times during this movie. It's actually really good, definitely recommend this watch.
Broanoke teaching us apocalyptic antibiotic. Nice. You can also boil up some tea using the inner bark of the willow tree for an aspirin alternative, add a bit of chamomile or mint for a mild sedative and you are good to go. Tastes good too.

@@randallbesch2424 the specifics of what happened are kept vague. But i do think it leans towards the creatures appearing after the apocalyptic event. I like to think the filmmakers are aware of the absurdity of A Quiet Place and those creatures wiping out the world and chose to focus on current events without a ridiculous backstory.
I think the reason Joseph flipped his lab upside down is he was looking for a hole. Earlier he moved a pallet and found they actively try to hide their holes, it comes up again when Thomas is in the hole and when the rug covers the hole in the house
Not really. Its a work of fiction, Roanoak's whole genre of video is purely for fun and education. Factual inaccuracies don't matter when you're making a monster film, so long as its vaguely believable to the audience.
No but some of their stories are shaky like making them world threatening. Would have worked better as lonely farm houses meet previously unknown predator.
Imagine how less crappy Hollywood could be if they employed someone like Roanoke to ok their movies. Ya know, someone with the power to just slap the director, or writer, whenever something truly stupid is done.
I was 17 when I was offered to "volunteer" and "receive a gift" weekly at my grandparents' farm over my senior summer. I did about 50 hours per week and loved every day of it. I did indeed go there to do the thing called farming and the girls were lacking.
@@gilla2092 that is how I judged the amount of people. Small population in a small town. The environment lacked gals my age. The one gal I met wasn't my type.
A creature that could had been hunted easily with strong UV lamps, chemicals and seismic detection tools. The biggest suspense of disbelief is that these things could ever threaten humanity.
@@randallbesch2424 Imagine setting up noise distraction everywhere and watch them exhaust or stress themselves to death. I think you are right. Corporations would keep them alive to study or train them since their digging speed is supernatural. To help that corporations would sponsor animal activist groups that would advocate for Graboids. They would be well defended, all while it is called "accidents" when they snack on stuff... It would fit the series so perfectly.
With the UV lamps, keep in mind that we can make ones that produce radiation STRONGER than 99% if not 100% of that which is hitting their skin from standing in the sunlight. I feel like germ lamps would literally just melt them if we made one into a concentrated beam or something. Also could smell interesting due to all the ozone creation.
Reached the scene where the lady was basically vored, and holy hell it’s spine chilling seeing the thing just chilling in the bathtub and when the girl screams it just like “sup”
A rip off with better writing. Considering a bunch of yokels can take on the beasts but not the military...at least here the military and most of the world was taken down by something else not defined and these creatures only showed up afterwards...
my little theory is that there was other ape subspecies down were ever they came from that either were greatly reduced in population or went extinct forcing them to the surface and thus hunting the closest thing in prey they could fun us and probably chimps and stuff like that to
For once, I'd like to see zombie/monster movie where all countries militaries just doesn't seemingly exist. Like Roa keeps saying, if it can be shot, it won't make an apocalypse. Though deliberate sabotage that causes command and communications blackouts might do it. Trained soldier is much less likely to shoot a thing when said soldiers are blisfully sleeping in a bed and no alarms are going off.
At first i thought the design was drawing from xertain classical depictions of demons... Then i read some behind the scenes stuff and out out it was just supposed to be a creepy goofy and i realised i give movie makers FAR too much credit and artistic integrity. Lol.
Critic: "Wow. The way these curtains are both navy blue and covering the light from their window, in contrast to the other persons house having open curtains that are yellow... truly a show of artistic skill and deeper thought, able to grasp the subtleties of human emotion and subconsciously influencing the audience to better understand these characters" Director: "Amanda was based on my four year old daughter who really likes yellow and leaves the curtains open because the sun is yellow, and I just think navy blue is neat :) real solid colour. Everybody could use some navy blue in their life. Maybe even some teal accents, make the navy blue stand out more."
I mean hey, art is subjective, and the fact that you were looking into it and loved the design just goes to show that you yourself are an incredibly intelligent person for seeing things a new way. Art is still good art regardless of its source, and if it got the job done, then kudos are still in due
Hunter hurts tiger and steals it's kill. Hunter goes bach to cabin in the forest. Tiger stalks hunter for a while. Tiger sneaks into cabin while hunter hunts. Tiger kills hunter in hunter's cabin and leaves to be a tiger.
They're also surprisingly good at sneaking up on people a lot of people think something that big can't be quiet but some elephants have taken a liking to sneaking up on their handlers and scaring them by blowing their trunks and being visibly happy when they succeed you better believe they can sneak up on you to get revenge too
And Corvids can hold grudges for up to at least 5 generations! Always be nice to crows and ravens etc. You never know if the granddaughter of a crow you chased off 5 years ago or threw a rock at might come with the whole crew to torment you until they get bored.
There is a TV show called Surface that aired from 2005-2006. Unfortunately there's only one season of it, but I think there is enough information in that season that you could make a video about the main creature from the show. I find the concepts in the show fascinating and I thought it would be something right up Roanoke's ally.
I think I've brought this massively udnerrated gem up before, and I still think he needs to cover it and Threshold, though TV Shows are more of a slog to get through, However theres definitely enough showing in Surface, especially with the Bonded baby to actually get a good idea of how they look. Still need to finish the show though, never got passed the whale watching episode on the recent rewatch a few years ago.
I liked the first half of this movie, but once Lord Cage went into a coma it went downhill. The drama after that with the stealing situation was super forced, and the monsters were very unique but just didn't make sense. Left kind of disappointed.
he too competent to keep around and buddy wanted the daughter. He the one that did the farm work before boy showed up and overheard them about the medicine.
Roanoke's hatred for the angler fish continues. The next horror movie will have a mutant angler fish on land and being bipedal which is Roanoke's worst nightmare
Wonder if he knows about Stone Fish? They're basically hatred incarnate covered in hypodermic needles full of effing potent venom? I think? That are such gargantuan assholes they learned to breathe air (for a little while) and will walk to your front door to murder you where you live.
Needed a moment to look at the creature in the bathtub scene to narrow down what I'm looking at. Definitely is digesting the mother as you look at the image, you can make out her half-digested face. It's a bit hard to make it out but her face is plastered in an expression of horror, with the right side her face having been dissolved to the bone.
That trope makes me so mad in movies. 'The creatures started to pop up, swarming and toppling our governments and militaries. Until some random guy killed them all with a dinky kitchen knife and minimal injuries.'
I love these creatures designs, everything about them is so simple at a first glance but the longer you look the less sense it makes. The sheer wtf factor of these things just keeps going up and up.

Thanks for covering this movie! I thoroughly enjoyed how it showed you the world and left you to connect the dots. Also the monsters were a very unnerving design.
There is ways of storing fuel correctly to make it last longer, but still breaks down over time. Micro plastics.**** Besides that, solar panels last 20 years.

26:58 Yeah the story about the tiger goes as follows: A Russian man, Vladimir Markov, was poaching miles from his home in the Siberian wilderness. During his hunt he shot a Siberian Tiger & stole part of its kill because it's the middle of Siberia, food is expensive & Russia doesn't pay well that far out into the wilderness. After doing so the tiger stalked the man all the way back home for miles. It tracked him to his cabin where it then proceeded to destroy anything with his scent on it. Markov waited inside for hours, but the tiger was very patient. Finally thinking he was safe Markov left to find help to hunt the tiger down. Unfortunately for Markov the first place he arrived at was a logging company with mostly native Siberians. Understanding the situation & what he'd done (Siberians know never fuck with a tiger), they actually chased Markov off back to the woods. Markov made his way back to his cabin where he found his cabin busted open and everything inside was trashed. After he went inside the tiger returned, and showed Markov why tigers are an apex species. Unfortunately for Markov his force multiplier made little fucking difference & he was dragged off to the brush to be killed & consumed. When his body was discovered quite a while afterwards it was noted by those who examined the corpse that the killing was intentionally, but the consumption of his body appeared to be a secondary motivation. The tiger killed him slowly & painfully out of revenge. Essentially shooting the tiger & stealing its kill was like Markov had just shot a dog & the tiger was John Wick with a pencil... a fooking pencil.
I almost feel like the jaw snapping was more of a communication tool with other creatures. And that the apocalypse wasn't necessarily caused by them, rather they were something that appeared during or after the collapse. It seemed like the city Nick was escaping was in the middle of some kind of human vs human conflict, though maybe that attracted the clappers.
The one thing that irks me about almost every alien apocalypse is that they're like "We tried everything, we couldn't kill it". When it is painfully obvious that, barring some absurdly thick armor or a new element that is somehow just bulletproof, a .50 BMG is going to stop that just fine. A 30mm autocannon would shred half of the things that supposedly destroy humanity.

Juat finiahed catching up on about a year's worth of videos. Thank you for the great content! P.S.: Have you considered watching the occassional TV show and reviewing the science behind an episode or two? In your Hollow Man video, you mentioned how The Baconator would be blind, but myself and others pointed to an old SciFi tv show (The Invisible Man) that actually addresses both that and how he can become invisible in the first place, and why it sucks for him to have that ability. It is covered in the first two episodes of the show, and the show has your kind of humor :)
There is a 2014 movie called "Black Mountian Side" about a sickness that affects a group of researchers. It is a decent movie. Maybe you could use it for a video.
These things were so unsettling to look at and hoped you’d cover them, I’m just a bit bummed out there isn’t more behind the scenes look at their biology. Like a still 3d model so there’s no motion blur, concept art of the chest, an anatomy guide. So much about them is off putting and goes against what we’d consider standard mammal biology. It adds to the intrigue but makes the lack of answers more frustrating
Tiger Story: If I remember correctly the Tiger was a male. A hunter went out hunting in the woods one day, and killed a tiger. The tiger was a female mate of the male and the male proceeded to hunt and track the hunter down for an extended period of time before ultimately killing the hunter. (I believe this is how it went, but I can’t remember 100% either.)

I commend Nic Cage for making a movie where the dog DOESN’T die, big kudos for breaking the mold.
Oh thank goodness. I saw the dog and I was like "oh lord here we go"
As a JoJo fan, I was dreading every second where the dog was on screen
Penicillin is mold
Fun fact! The director said he based the design of the monsters off Goofy (Yes...Disney's goofy) which is pretty evident with the Jaw snapping scene around the end
That's brilliant
@@brandoncyoung throws head back, unhinges jaw, laughs 🥲
I really wish this movie was better, because I love the monster design. It's really creepy and I could easily see it being a great "monster starts hunting isolated farmer family" movie
Yeaahhh given how one of them could be killed by two teenagers/YA there is no way those things managed to collapse society lol like tanks and machine guns exist
I didn't watch it but that sounds better than them somehow* taking over the earth
Also, seeing as they had Nic Cage and these monsters.
Would've been a perfect opportunity to turn this into a horror comedy.
Absolutely! Those things are no joke nightmare fuel. You can tell Roanoke agrees, as well, from his reactions. The sheer uncannyness of the fake face and the split-head mouth and clacking, and the way (as Roanoke predicted) it moves more like a fluid than an animal. It's always a shame when good creature design is poorly implemented.
Like many horror movies, some decisions in this one make absolutely no sense. However, with that being said, this movie could really benefit from a prequel (and/or sequel) that explains exactly what the hell is going, and how we got to this point in the first place.
The designs of the creatures are just so cool to me, the gangly build, the way they move their heads and necks almost like snakes, the fact they’ve got a seperate face on their face etc etc
It’s just such an unconventional design and I utterly adore it
Let's be honest you just like it cuz there's cage
@@CA_786 who??
I love how Nic Cage films these days have to have the script re-written so Nic's character only has as much screentime as they paid him for. It's a weird casting choice because if Nic chooses your project you can't possibly say no, but at the same time there goes the entire budget.
He isn't an expensive actor lol hes not Dwayne i need more millions Johnson
Wait so he want to be paid for the work he did....
Your theory does not make sense. Cage isn't Cameron Mitchell getting paid for a walk on cameo. Also, Cage is a producer on the film so clearly he is involved beyond what you suggest
@@Anon_Spartan cage was a producer on this
From what I recall, Nic Cage is at the point in his life and career that he can afford to do only the things he wants. He'll produce films and take the hit financially just because he likes the idea.
Man teaches us how to make penicillin - good thing I'm not allergic to it. No sir, no horrible life threatening reaction to one of the greatest antibiotics on Earth.
Taught in a distilled and poignant form at that. Very easy to make. If anyone still can't remember how to make it after this then you probably shouldn't survive if SHTF.
Also I too am totally not deathly allergic to it. Yup, definitely not allergic.
Oh, my, gosh, me too! I'm able to take this without swelling up like a condom being held out of a car window as well 👍
I was allergic to penicillin until I was 20 so out grew it so had to stay away from dog bites and not get bacterial infections but I just got a dead leg or arm when it was infected in those places but didn't affect my life to much
Aren't there so many forms of penicillin-resistant bacteria nowadays that it's basically worthless anyways? I remember having to swab places around the house for bacteria samples for a biology lab in community college and the penicilin just got ignored.
@@jerrymartin7019 resistant doesnt mean immune
Something i hadnt considered,. they never USE the claws as weapons in the movie bit it makes sense that they can grow super fast. If it breaks off while theyre digging tunnels they can just grow new claws.
I assume use them to scrape at the door. Though not in the humans 🤔
I thought it stabbed Charlotte’s mother in the side when it got on top of her on the bed, maybe to hold her in place to swallow her whole idk. Sounded like a vaguely wet stabbing noise and she screamed
She seemed wounded when crawling away
This movie was so dark. I mean visually. Seriously, I had to strain my eyes during the night scenes. Still have no idea what was going on in that tub, couldn't for the life of me see it. And it's such a shame, because the the monster designs are actually pretty cool. It's goofy, yes. With the clapping and chattering like joke-teeth, or those annoying clapping toys. But that's part of the appeal. Like with Killer Klownz, the odd juxtaposition between quirky and scary makes it. You see it and you think Pluto from Disney = funny looking. But then it starts charging at you whilst chomping away = scary.
Dunno if the intentional darkness was like an afterthought after someone got concerned that the monsters weren't scary looking enough. Or they were simply employing that Jaws thing of not showing the monster to make it scarier. That doesn't work for all things. Sometimes, you gotta embrace and really lean into it.
Its goofy cuz it was designed as sleep-paralysis Disney Goofy
The monsters don't actually eat with the mouths in their heads, they split their chest open and shoot their stomach out to swallow their prey whole. The monster in the tub was lounging around digesting Charlotte's mother. You could see the shape of a human in its stomach.
It’s a pretty common technique in visual media. Darker movies can improve atmosphere and cover poor-quality CGI, but sometimes directors don’t understand how to use it properly.
I hate when movies are too dark to see anything or what is going on. It's like ok.. glad that happened wish I could see in the dark.
One of my favorite hollywood misconceptions is them underselling the sheer power of a piece of metal moving in "feet per second"
It's moving hundreds of Cm per second!

A classic Primate trait. Had to have my own projectable manipulable chest stomach checked out last week when the webbing on my left side started to ache. Turns out it was projectable manipulable chest stomach cancer, but it was caught early, so I'm okay now.
I too am a hooman bean.. I use my back limbs to stand vertical while manipulating objects with my front ones.
I mean, goblin sharks can shoot their jaws out of their mouth. Starfish expel their stomachs to pre-digest their prey before slurping it up.
There could maybe be some even more nightmarish abomination out there with a, uh, stomach mouth thing.

Hello
Not really. Its a work of fiction, Roanoak's whole genre of video is purely for fun and education. Factual inaccuracies don't matter when you're making a monster film, so long as its vaguely believable to the audience.
No but some of their stories are shaky like making them world threatening. Would have worked better as lonely farm houses meet previously unknown predator.
Imagine how less crappy Hollywood could be if they employed someone like Roanoke to ok their movies. Ya know, someone with the power to just slap the director, or writer, whenever something truly stupid is done.
the creatures combining into a wheel really reminded me of the Crites from Critters forming a giant ball and rolling after people
I was 17 when I was offered to "volunteer" and "receive a gift" weekly at my grandparents' farm over my senior summer. I did about 50 hours per week and loved every day of it. I did indeed go there to do the thing called farming and the girls were lacking.
So there for money

A creature that could had been hunted easily with strong UV lamps, chemicals and seismic detection tools. The biggest suspense of disbelief is that these things could ever threaten humanity.
Now the Graboids could be a danger.
@@randallbesch2424 Imagine setting up noise distraction everywhere and watch them exhaust or stress themselves to death.
I think you are right. Corporations would keep them alive to study or train them since their digging speed is supernatural. To help that corporations would sponsor animal activist groups that would advocate for Graboids. They would be well defended, all while it is called "accidents" when they snack on stuff... It would fit the series so perfectly.
With the UV lamps, keep in mind that we can make ones that produce radiation STRONGER than 99% if not 100% of that which is hitting their skin from standing in the sunlight.
I feel like germ lamps would literally just melt them if we made one into a concentrated beam or something. Also could smell interesting due to all the ozone creation.

For once, I'd like to see zombie/monster movie where all countries militaries just doesn't seemingly exist. Like Roa keeps saying, if it can be shot, it won't make an apocalypse. Though deliberate sabotage that causes command and communications blackouts might do it. Trained soldier is much less likely to shoot a thing when said soldiers are blisfully sleeping in a bed and no alarms are going off.
At first i thought the design was drawing from xertain classical depictions of demons... Then i read some behind the scenes stuff and out out it was just supposed to be a creepy goofy and i realised i give movie makers FAR too much credit and artistic integrity. Lol.
Critic: "Wow. The way these curtains are both navy blue and covering the light from their window, in contrast to the other persons house having open curtains that are yellow... truly a show of artistic skill and deeper thought, able to grasp the subtleties of human emotion and subconsciously influencing the audience to better understand these characters"
Director: "Amanda was based on my four year old daughter who really likes yellow and leaves the curtains open because the sun is yellow, and I just think navy blue is neat :) real solid colour. Everybody could use some navy blue in their life. Maybe even some teal accents, make the navy blue stand out more."
I mean hey, art is subjective, and the fact that you were looking into it and loved the design just goes to show that you yourself are an incredibly intelligent person for seeing things a new way. Art is still good art regardless of its source, and if it got the job done, then kudos are still in due

There is a TV show called Surface that aired from 2005-2006. Unfortunately there's only one season of it, but I think there is enough information in that season that you could make a video about the main creature from the show. I find the concepts in the show fascinating and I thought it would be something right up Roanoke's ally.
I think I've brought this massively udnerrated gem up before, and I still think he needs to cover it and Threshold, though TV Shows are more of a slog to get through, However theres definitely enough showing in Surface, especially with the Bonded baby to actually get a good idea of how they look.
Still need to finish the show though, never got passed the whale watching episode on the recent rewatch a few years ago.

I liked the first half of this movie, but once Lord Cage went into a coma it went downhill. The drama after that with the stealing situation was super forced, and the monsters were very unique but just didn't make sense. Left kind of disappointed.

Roanoke's hatred for the angler fish continues. The next horror movie will have a mutant angler fish on land and being bipedal which is Roanoke's worst nightmare
Wonder if he knows about Stone Fish? They're basically hatred incarnate covered in hypodermic needles full of effing potent venom? I think? That are such gargantuan assholes they learned to breathe air (for a little while) and will walk to your front door to murder you where you live.
Needed a moment to look at the creature in the bathtub scene to narrow down what I'm looking at.
Definitely is digesting the mother as you look at the image, you can make out her half-digested face. It's a bit hard to make it out but her face is plastered in an expression of horror, with the right side her face having been dissolved to the bone.

There is ways of storing fuel correctly to make it last longer, but still breaks down over time. Micro plastics.**** Besides that, solar panels last 20 years.

26:58 Yeah the story about the tiger goes as follows:
A Russian man, Vladimir Markov, was poaching miles from his home in the Siberian wilderness. During his hunt he shot a Siberian Tiger & stole part of its kill because it's the middle of Siberia, food is expensive & Russia doesn't pay well that far out into the wilderness.
After doing so the tiger stalked the man all the way back home for miles. It tracked him to his cabin where it then proceeded to destroy anything with his scent on it. Markov waited inside for hours, but the tiger was very patient.
Finally thinking he was safe Markov left to find help to hunt the tiger down.
Unfortunately for Markov the first place he arrived at was a logging company with mostly native Siberians.
Understanding the situation & what he'd done (Siberians know never fuck with a tiger), they actually chased Markov off back to the woods. Markov made his way back to his cabin where he found his cabin busted open and everything inside was trashed. After he went inside the tiger returned, and showed Markov why tigers are an apex species. Unfortunately for Markov his force multiplier made little fucking difference & he was dragged off to the brush to be killed & consumed.
When his body was discovered quite a while afterwards it was noted by those who examined the corpse that the killing was intentionally, but the consumption of his body appeared to be a secondary motivation. The tiger killed him slowly & painfully out of revenge.
Essentially shooting the tiger & stealing its kill was like Markov had just shot a dog & the tiger was John Wick with a pencil... a fooking pencil.
That penicillin advice is amazing
I almost feel like the jaw snapping was more of a communication tool with other creatures. And that the apocalypse wasn't necessarily caused by them, rather they were something that appeared during or after the collapse. It seemed like the city Nick was escaping was in the middle of some kind of human vs human conflict, though maybe that attracted the clappers.
I went to school for IS Security and I still work outside! More money in landscaping and carpentry than IS with a bachelors degree.
The one thing that irks me about almost every alien apocalypse is that they're like "We tried everything, we couldn't kill it". When it is painfully obvious that, barring some absurdly thick armor or a new element that is somehow just bulletproof, a .50 BMG is going to stop that just fine. A 30mm autocannon would shred half of the things that supposedly destroy humanity.

These things were so unsettling to look at and hoped you’d cover them, I’m just a bit bummed out there isn’t more behind the scenes look at their biology. Like a still 3d model so there’s no motion blur, concept art of the chest, an anatomy guide. So much about them is off putting and goes against what we’d consider standard mammal biology. It adds to the intrigue but makes the lack of answers more frustrating
Tiger Story:
If I remember correctly the Tiger was a male. A hunter went out hunting in the woods one day, and killed a tiger. The tiger was a female mate of the male and the male proceeded to hunt and track the hunter down for an extended period of time before ultimately killing the hunter. (I believe this is how it went, but I can’t remember 100% either.)
