    "Who am I here?" Is such an underappreciated line in horror. Like obviously the people who know this movie know the line, but it deserves the same recognition as other famous horror lines.

      I always compare the original delivery and the remakes. Preferring the original delivery over the remakes. I show both clips to friends and most agree that O Quinn's delivery showcase's far more confusion and panic as a man's world is torn apart before him. Meanwhile the remake is more anger and rage forcing him into a psychotic break.

      It's so chilling too. You could even further extrapolate it to be a metaphor about living a fake life, if you were so generous and if you made this movie in the last 5 years instead of in the 1980s. It's so good.

    I'm not gassing you up at all when I say that this might be my favorite year for the channel(s) so far. You've been killing it with the behind-the-scenes stuff, Chelsea's been great on the podcast, and all your side projects have been a total hit for me. I've been looking for a sort of horror variety channel on RUclips for years since I wasn't around during the height of Elvira, Svengoolie, etc. and Dead Meat has been IT for me for six years. Keep on killing it!

    Absolutely loved the shoutout to researcher Bella at 9:48. Not enough big channels give proper credit to their teams as talented individuals, and I've noticed that a lot of the Dead Meat team has been getting a lot more shoutouts and recognition ever since the new era with folks like Zoran and Chelsea hosting their own episodes and the intro including the "and show you how they were made" line. Seems like a great team to work for and these all around improvements are certainly appreciated.

  • @geoffreyfyfe2248

    The thing O'Quinn understood is that the Stepfather, despite his actions, is ultimately a tragic figure, forever chasing something he'll never achieve because the "perfect family" does not exist. That scene where he forlornly looks at the other family shows the inner sadness of the character.

    • @valenciageode25

    To me, The Stepfather has one of the best opening sequences in horror history. You see him washing blood off of himself and shaving so you know he's already killed somebody and is trying to make a run for it but the shot revealing that he killed his wife and child still packs a punch in spite of that knowledge. Then, you follow it up with him casually walking out of the house whistling as if nothing happened underscores how evil just blends in and how it's often the people you least expect.

  • @justvibin1447
    @justvibin1447 3 месяца назад +118

    I saw the remake when I was a kid, ironically living with my own nightmare stepfather (not a killer, just emotionally abusive and homophobic), so I appreciate getting the chance to compare it to the original. I really like how it goes more psychological than slasher. That feels appropriate given how it's exploring the manipulative tactics of an abuser, how they wear a false face to ingrain themselves into your life, and only start to show their true nature once they’ve gained some authority and power.

    When I was working on my master's degree my final project was on familicide/family --people who kill their families. John List was a case I illustrated in it. But one of the "subtypes" are the "disapointed." But of the group of (almost always men) who see their family as possessions/extensions of themselves and when the family fails to perform to expectations they are destroyed to "punish" them.
    John List also claimed he was saving his family from not only financial ruin but the "sinful world" which would corrupt them and the murders would save their souls and send them to heaven.

    Seeing Shelly Hack as the mom made me realize how much I’d love to see a Troll killcount. Was my favorite movie as a kid. Troll 2 gets all the meme and “so bad it’s good” love, but Troll was a classic.
    Edit: Oh snap… just got to the To The Numbers bit. Not the best vid to suggest a killcount.

  • @TheFreakboy48
    @TheFreakboy48 3 месяца назад +5

    God I love this movie. Terry O'Quinn has never disappointed and was even a great treat in the new Walking Dead show. I remember my mother commenting on his smile when we watched LOST and he has probably the kindest smile I've ever seen. Jill Schoelen was a big crush for me back in the day and she's awesome in everything she's in too.
    Fingers crossed for a Stepfather 2 kill count, it's a little silly but we get some Jonathan Brandis who really deserved so much better from the world.

      Well, we know for a fact that Society started trending on Prime after James counted it, and he was the one that convinced me to finally give Scream VI a shot after I felt like Neve Campbell was done dirty by the producers.

    I love that the psychological aspects of this movie were mentioned and discussed. A deeply sinister and flawed man, chasing perfection that we know doesn't exist only to find that he can't even make it exist. I also just really like films set in suburbia because the atmosphere is always so pleasant, but there's such a darkness underneath the idyllic setting.
    Thank you for another awesome kill count!

    My stepfather was never a killer. But I'm sure he'd get a kick out of this film. Especially if I caught him with beer and some peanuts.

  • @konstance13
    @konstance13 3 месяца назад +1

    Yes, I've been hoping for this movie every Father's day! It's definitely an under-rated classic and Terry O'Quinn is just amazing.
    I think one of the aspects that elevates it is how they keep Jerry likeable and charming enough to not be a stock evil villain. There are parts where you almost forget he's a killer and wonder why the stepdaughter hates him so much lol.
    Hope James does end up covering the sequel.

    13:54 creative choices in this scene aside, I also genuinely believe in this sentiment as well! While the whole “suffering for your art” thing is morbidly interesting to a degree, and is a popular theme/trope in stories, I personally don’t want to make a movie, show, video, comic, game, whatever at the expense of my or anyone else’s health, safety, and/or sanity! As much as I wanna push the boundaries of creativity, media, creative expression and storytelling, I don’t want to do anything that could put my mental, emotional, and/or physical health in jeopardy, and same thing for anyone else!
