When i saw her cutting her wrist i was like
"Oh, she's going to use the blood as oil
And then her hands starts unwraping like a present and im like
"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD"
I had to flinch with that.
Same
TheNinja744 I actually got close to throwing up at that point, because I believed the same thing. I COULD NOT SLEEP until I figured out what kind of movie magic BS they used for that.
I legitimately had to look away. I watch a lot of horror movies but my god I felt that. 💀💀💀
I, too, thought she was just gonna slip through the cuff like the blood was oil, but nope.
same!
Moonlight Man is just great. I love just how LITTLE screen time he got throughout the movie and how when he did appear he just... was there, really. No jumpscares, no screaming, no attacking. That made him so fucking scary, he was a mystery!
Anna Arlet when he was licking her foot I actually died
kevin jessett when that scene came my cousins phone got yeeted and all lights in that room were on 💀💀
yes definately agree
I think the car scene was a bit of a jumpscare.
I agree 100%
The movie where almost everything is an imagination or memory, but the scariest thing, the moonlight man, turned out to be real. Nice twist.
Nonono man, don't take it at face value. The moonlight man is only 'real' in so far as Jessie now accepts her trauma. He's a symbolic representation of what's scary for her to confront. His eyes are ecliptic which is to say he represents the feeling of the memory of Jessie's dad at the lake. He's not "real" when they're in public. That just means she's opened up to the outside world again. Oh, and the sunglasses at the end is a beautiful way of showing she's learned from the experience. But anyways, just think about it, what would be the point of the moonlight man being real? There is none. It's symbolic. It's the "plot carrier" of her inner journey. It makes her transformation relatable.
@@MRSoefeldt that makes sense. I think i have to watch it again.
@@mirvang Yes, me too! I think the dog in the beginning too isn't "real" either per se. It's just a symbolic representation of the woman pointing out that there is a problem, but that Gerald doesn't listen to her. The only thing "real" in the movie is the fact that they go to the lakehouse, that Gerald dies, and that Jessie escapes. Everything that happens throughout is a contemplation on trauma.
@@MRSoefeldt yeah maybe
Cuz doctor's also said that she's been through a trauma
@@MRSoefeldt That's possible. But isn't it also possible that the Moonlight Man WAS intended to be real?
Moonlight man made me think of handsome squidward but not as handsome.
Britt Sivate lol thanks for this comment, I’m no longer scared😂
Not as handsome?
So regular squidward?
Lol it’s Squilliam Fancyson!
Lol I see that to.
Lol can you imagine a lady walking into the court room walking up to the person on trial telling him you small af and then walking out
Lmfaoo
do you even lift broooooooo
@@andrewpersaud4144 🤣

Diarmuid Ze-Wrex 😂😂😂
I guess Gerald did not consult his doctor beforehand to see if his heart was healthy enough for sex
Alexander Brunetti this is the best comment on this video 🤣🤣
No do you know what viagra is
Idk how this comment doesn’t have more likes
Alexander Brunetti I assume the Viagra did the trick in fucking up his game.
Beastgaming FTW do you?
He never mentioned how the moonlight man ripped out of his cuffs in the courtroom. In my opinion that was almost the scariest part in the whole movie, it just sent shivers through my body.
that moment makes me thought that he will kill her.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!
Those were not handcuffs, just some plastic shit, look again
byren stoner They were zip ties lol
@Jimmy Strudel That's a lie.
One thing that traumatized me was when she said the Moonlight man started mutilating corpses, and then she realized that the dog was not the one eating Gerald IT WAS HIM. The idea of a gigantic weird looking man eating a dead man's body while you are half halucinating and half aware is just TRAUMATIZING. I'm clearly not sleeping tonight, thanks a lot Stephen King.
nc lp THATS WHAT I REALIZED AT THE END OF THE MOVIE! Because in his farmhouse, they found his sister’s husband HALF EATEN
No the dog appear during the day. It took a piece off Gerald right then and there.
@Mike well, the dog was real, that was layed right at the beginning. But it's not impossible they werent both eating him. Dog at day, him at night. Atleast he tooked the ears.
that's not scary but ok
@Mike exactly lmaooo and even then it wouldn't be scary or traumatizing. Jeffrey dahmer existed
Moonlight man is literally one of the scariest things I've ever seen in any movie and I say this as a horror movie fanatic.
A Wanderer Agreed!
You realise the actor actually looks like that lol
@@lecharcutier3637 no he doesn't look scary but his head shape is yes
Sinister
It was only a tall guy with acromegaly
I like the imagery of her giving the moonlight man her ring. This was probably not intended, but it makes me think of people in greek mythology giving a coin to Charon in order to be ferried to the afterlife. If someone could not pay, they would be stuck forever. She is able to pay, and moves on from the standstill, into a new life, or AFTERlife. Again, this is probably not intended, but I like it.
McKenna Riggins WOW; I didn’t see like that but you’re right.
I thought that too, that's why they'd put coins on people's eyes. I think it was intended.
I think the moonlight man was just really surprised that she wasn’t scared at all and was just giving him the ring. he thought of any other reaction to his appearance but not this reaction. so he let her go
I had a similar ideia
That's a brilliant observation.
That realistic torn-flesh scene was so well done, I was disgusted to the core
Jon Col samee
only movie that made my hands shake lmao
@@rovermb139 ever seen 127 hours?
I can watch any gory movie without being affected but this one oof almost threw up
I've watched a lot of gore, but that scene was out of this world
Honestly, if I broke into a house and a woman with a skinned hand walked up to me and gave me a wedding ring I wouldn't know what to do either.
Lol Same
CALL AN AMBULANCE BRUH
BUT NOT FOR ME **metal music starts blasting**
@@fbi3233 bruh
Why do I feel like that is literally what they were trying to do in that scene
After taking the Viagra, Gerald remained stiff for much longer than four hours but didn't consult his doctor.
Bradley Noneofyourbizz underrated comment
Bradley Noneofyourbizz god damn side effects
Bradley Noneofyourbizz but it made the grave robber Very Happy
good for the moonlight man... unless the dog got to it first...
+Milky cow suprise It's okay, for the moonlight man threw an imaginary bone that attracted the dog out of the house.
That awkward moment when you realize that she and her abusive father later played husband and wife on haunting of hillhouse...
Yasss 😂🤣
And the mother was their second daughter...😂😂
I think I just threw up
Kylie Lapinski Why the fuck is that your response?
Lil Baddie Still, it’s fuckin’ weird
The dog was a really good actor.
Definitely underrated
I've never seen such authenticity
Just nomming on his owners
he must win an oscar
Sheer brilliance
This movies has no jumpscares and its the most terrifying movie ive seen, the moonlight man just starring at her in the dark made me have trouble sleeping for days
You should check out Antichrist. It's kind of the same premise. A husband and wife go to a cabin to reconnect and everything goes terribly wrong. Very unsettling movie.
Him sucking her feet was the only jump scare & it effing scared tf outta me
I like this type of horror, instead of trynna get a cheap jump scare they rely on visual storytelling and what not.
*uses a pad to absorb blood*
"Well that's good thinking"
XxScarsthetic Xx I mean... They’re called sanitary napkins for a reason 😂
@@ghoullovinbutch
A lot of hikers bring pads with them in case of medical emergencies. They're very multifunctional.
@@oggyboggy8692 it also helps prevent blisters
There were hand towels there and a part of me wondered why she spent 15 extra seconds on undoing that thing with her teeth n only hand when she could have just grabbed one of those towels and dipped.
@@zoeylatshaparker99 because the pads are adhesive and she would have to tie the hand towel on her hand if she chose it instead
"In the end she realized.. SHE WAS GERALD and the moonlight man was her Mother in law"... that's how M. NightShamalan would have wrote it.
Steven Duran wears Globe Shoes 😂😂 and the dog would have been a mermaid
And the mermaid is her sister
Haha good one
and the meat only costed $2, not $200
Wasn’t the moonlight man in every people you don’t want to mess with
Also there was that scene where the moonlight man licked Jessie's feet. That was really uncomfortable to watch lol
yeah that was really fuckin wierd.
I know!!! Specifically that scene DAMN
Yes, That was the most terrifying scene in the movie there couldn’t possibly be anything worse right?
Im so close to cracking this case, i can almost taste it, *intense slurp*
ey everyone has a kink^^
It cracked me UP when the serial grave robber guy popped his handcuffs like a candy necklace in the court room lmbo
It was zip ties.
ngl i shat my pants
Yeah I thought he was gonna strangle her
Zip tie handcuffs not the metal ones
that was probably the scariest part of the movie for me honesty . that scene gave me and my girlfriend goosebumps
Dude , that movie was so much deeper than i thought ,,, genius writing
You really wrote ,,, instead of ...
Sjskdjskejwnwjsjs 😂😭
It is a Stephen King story so yeah
'Meanwhile, Gerald is still throwing shade.'
Portrait of Asha the second I read that he said that
Kinda cringe...
He can throw all the shade he wants. He's the one that got fucked by the moonlight man.
🤣🤣🤣
I read this right as he said it in the video haha
Pretty sad the killer did less damage to her than her own father and husband....I know I’m late seeing this movie but, I loved it!
Husband: tries o rape her and dies after using wrong equipment so she nearly starve to death.
Serial killer: "Meh, you're not in my type. Go anywhere you want to."
omg thanks for pointing that out!! i think thats an impt detail!!!
@@Petaurista13 lol
Why did this become 100 times scarier when we found out he was real?
Sam Moore damn it you spoiled my video that contained spoilers
It was an awesome twist
Ignoring Age-Difference is
never Healthy.
I dont think there was ever in history
an instance where its healthy,
even though some never realized it their
whole life.
I feel like they shouldnt have explained that he was a serial killer and left it up to us if he was real or not. Would have made it better imo
@@slevinchannel7589 Aw, sweet! I love non sequiturs!
You forgot another important analysis, when Gerald first starts to get frisky after he handcuffed her, we see Jesse get uncomfortable, she got even more uncomfortable when Gerald called himself ''Daddy'' The viewers were probably all wanting to know why Jesse was so uncomfortable in that situation. It's because it reminded her of when her dad touched himself while she sat on his lap. She felt helpless, and was in an uncomfortable situation.

“You’re so much smaller than I remember”
I know what she meant but my mind was like “Wtf are you talking about?”
Nicole The Author what
In the dark and in her delirious state, she imagined him to be larger than he actually was. But thematically it works because she's found her own voice and stood up to the monster haunting her
In her childhood memory, when she and her family went to their beach house she remarks, "The house is smaller than I remember". Then her dad replies "Because you're bigger". So I think she repeating the same line when meeting Moonlight Man in court conveys that she's much a more developed and wiser person than she was when she last encountered him in the cabin.
@@Commander_Shepard. exactly
Commander Shepard
Damn. Didnt see that coming. This movie is the kind of movies you would love to see it more than 1 time . When she said he looks smaller in the courtroom i was looking at the surface.
i absolutely love that jesse was her own savior throughout the entire story, and that at no point they discredited her journey by having someone else save her, thematically or literally
That moonlight man twist scared the hell out of me
joe lisiecki me too, I got worked up when the dog ran out
I was so freaking scared of him
Same here 🤣🤣. Just saw the movie and Im here for more crypt creeper and end up here
joe lisiecki ong
Same
Remembering this movie, the moonlight man was already in the house since the beginning, he might have killed them both to get to gerald, but since he was already dead and she was basically powerless, he just did not care about her, lmao.
That shit she went through possibly saved her life in more ways than one.
@akidin06 yeah but that doesn't hold him back killing her. In one scene you see how the police is smashing open his apartment where '' mommy and daddy'' were sitting on chairs beheaded. I guess he's no business with annoying women. Her insanity and calm state saved her for sure
@@tobii894 he didnt behead them, he scalped them
Saṃsāra's Light also because she gave him a trinket
@@chickenwing5720 But that after she freed from the handcuff.... She could have died when she was tied to the bed because all the time, the Moonman is there eating up her husband corpse.
In my opinion you left out one of the scariest scenes. When she asks her husband (who she trusts!) to remove the handcuffs and he refuses and continues to try to have sex with her against her will. This is before he dies of a heart attack, of course.
I think men routinely underestimate how terrifying rape is for women.
@@EosFunk I think that’s only the ones who are willing to commit rape. Any normal and rational man can admit they understand how scary it could be for women
@@EosFunk *I think some people routinely underestimate how terrifying rape is for the victim.
@@EosFunk it's more about not understanding what rape is and that it is rape.
yes, every analysis I've seen has implied she was willing to take part in the handcuffs. she wasn't, and that adds so much more to the story for me. and in the book it was mentioned more in the movie, the book is better in my opinion
The flesh tearing from the hand was so well done that it looks extremely realistic
Have you met your brother. “Just some guy with half a moustache
@@ja-king3067 even 1 like in a year is far too much for this horrendous joke😂
Wait so you’re telling me that the Moonlight Man is the guy in those tOp 10 SCArIeSt inMaTES In ThE woRlD
💀💀💀
yes bruh, thats exactly what I was thinking
Reese Nash LOL BRO I WAS TRYNA FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT WAS FROM
i’m actually happy now that i know where that picture comes from
@@m3gstarrr436 man fr i am too
In the book, Jessie also begins to realize how she sacrificed a potentially happy life for the security of Gerald's paycheck by being a trophy wife without children.
Im glad they didnt have children ..im scared if they got a girl, god knows what Gerald would do, maybe he'll be like Jessie's father or worse ..he does have a rape fantasy
@Fresh Beginnings but he COULD BE. With a history like his with his rape fantasy he most likely would and im not saying people cant change but theres a chance he CAN be an abuser, i mean look at jessies dad he was so sweet and kind to his family but did that to jessie ..it just goes to show it can come from anyone and with that rape fantasy of his he has a higher chance of being one(abuser)
Fresh Beginnings just an old man but then again no one told her to marry him I guess that’s the price she paid in the end...
Fresh Beginnings Gerald is a father replacement for her father, she married a man just like him, because she married into the only dynamic she knew as a result of the abuse she suffered at her father’s hands.
The Outsider she simply realized the mistake she had made.
The Moonlight man was probably confused by seeing her in bed like: "The fuck is going on here!? Nahhh it's probably me just being crazy"
I lost it when the moonlight man broke out of the zip tie lmfaooooo i was like bruh its over
he just wanted a hug
only moment where my mind was gone crazy
But I didn’t understand what he said in the quart room to her, “you’re not real!” ??
Marisa Arielle Nelson he was repeating what she had been saying to him throughout the movie. « You’re not real » as a way to convince herself he was just a figment of her imagination.
i love how the dog is like "um im hungry can i just eat this please? no? okay ill eat it anyway bye"
Fuck you, Jessie, Imma eat this.
Lol and that one part where he was in the door way watching her get out of the cuffs and and get free and bleeding everywhere, he was like “ Bitch wtf are you doing?” Lol
I was fully expecting her to just wake up in the bed at the end.
Jacob McEntire me too!!!!
Yes me too!!
Same! Ugh that would’ve been more annoying
That's what I thought. Especially with it being based on Stephen King, I totally expected a horrible tragic ending. But, glad to be proved wrong.
That's the worst ending a movie can have. "It's all a dream!" Cliché
That...is an _extremely_ convoluted way to get out of handcuffs.
But I guess dislocating your thumb isn't as horrifyingly graphic as flaying half the skin off your hand trying to slip out.
Idk man, it would be purty tough to do that without the help of the other.
It's Stephen King we're talking about 😂
I had to look away from the video when they showed it. De-gloving is horrifying, which is the term for what was happening. I assume that she didn't have a way to dislocate her thumb. And given the way the cuff was dragging on her skin (what i saw) it seems Gerald probably had them tighter than normal. More likely she would have lost her hands from bloodloss if they were that tight but, can't have a visually horrifying scene like partial de-gloving with logic :D
@akidin06 you forget that the handcuffs were really tight. The hallucination of her dead husband even said that she would only break her wrist. Its impossible in this situation to get out the way you mentioned
Breaking the bed would have been way easier.
The part with her father horrified me when I watched it. It was so upsetting

@@Redvin-c8i Kinky
I felt incredibly emotional with the flashback about Jessie's sexual abuse- especially when her asshole of a father comes into the bedroom and manipulates her into keeping quiet about what happened. I had to pause it several times and felt teary-eyed. I felt triumphant with her when she releases the shackles of that secret. Credit to the actors of that scene because it rubbed my heart raw to see the little actress crying
I no longer watch movies. These 15 sum odd minutes entertain wayyyyy more than the movie ever could. Nice job man
Dominic Smith This was a really good film. It would have made a bugger impact if you had seen it yourself. Its cool to watch this after to see the stuff I never would gave noticed though.
Octavio Gonzalez yeah I feel you on that.. some movies I make sure I get my eye on it first but once I knew it was her on the bed for the entirety of the film I just didn't have the man power to sit through it.. lol 🤣 I'm a shit person I know 💩
Octavio Gonzalez it was a classic tale of impatience.. 🤷🏾♂️

The moonlight man is real, and very, very gay
Internet Addict hmm how so?
he's literally gay, thats why he dont do shit to her... he like de peepee
Internet Addict yes the moonlight man sexually harassed me in 1975 it was so scary and traumatizing
I was raped by the moonlight man. True story.
But wasn't he a necrophiliac?
Plot twist!
The monster was actually a sadistic gay necrophiliac grave robber with a birth disorder this _whole time!!_
WillowRustle64 makes the part of the movie where she first sees the Moonlight Man even scarier since the giant eerie looking grave-robbing man was ACTUALLY in the house
My wife's theory was that the dog never came in the house, the moonlight man was there the entire time and because of the trauma of witnessing what he had done to the corpse of her husband, her brain used the dog she saw before as a way to cope with what was happening to her. Later to come to terms with the presence of the moonlight man, along with her past childhood trauma.
*Space Cowboy
Don't know why the film changed his title.
It's defect not disorder...
J K Rowling?
Moonlight man - not scary. The thought of dying this way, slowly, minute by minute, hanging there - horrifying.
The midnight man was the cherry on top though. There's a theory that he was in the room with her slowly eating the husband the entire time and she decided to repress that memory. The added danger is terrifying
Imma stop you right there bro 😣
l love how i don't have to watch the movie, i just have to watch this, and BOOM, the movie! (Also i vote The Babysitter JustDavid)

The babysitter
That scene when she escapes is one of few scenes that make me look away from the screen. It just looks so real
Jack I cringed way too much
For me the most scary image in the movie was the sight of the Moonlight Man's eyes when he was sitting in the backseat of the car in Jessie's driving dream. And I just realized his eyes might've been the eclipse reflected in them. Holy hell, I loved this movie! Plus I couldn't even tell what was imagination, memory, or reality, and that unsureness was amazing
I was vibin like "this is a nice movie" until she just straight up skinned her hand... damn
I made the mistake of watching this movie at night. I was waking up every five minutes because in every single dream the moonlight man was in the background
no 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
u dream alot
.i dreamed about younger Jessie...

The Moonlight man scared the shit out of me!! In the end when he repeated ''You're not real 2x and then You're made of moonlight'' that was the moment when it sinked in just how terrifying he was in the movie...
I absolutely loved this movie! The scariest part for me was the abusive father as that is not just part of a scary movie, but real horror that many people experience everyday.

For me, it was my "grandfather" who committed sexual abuse.

I've never had a support system or anyone I can truly count on. People would rather look down on me than help, so it makes life unbearable.

Me Before: Just One More Video And I'll Go To Bed
Me After: I Should've Just Went To Bed Instead. I'm Gonna Have Nightmares.
This is literally me rn
I thought this was just a thriller but it's straight up HORROR
Pennywise this is my situation
When it turned out that the moonlight man was there it was as unsettling as seeing a portrait of someone at night in a dark house and finding out that the portrait was a window in the morning.
I had the feeling that he was real, creepy.
My only complaint with this movie was it seemed like she lost her sanity almost immediately after the death of her husband and once the dog started biting his corpse, she immediately imagined people standing there talking to her.
Bro her husband died and a dog started eating him while she laid helpless on a bed. I'd lose my shit too
mobster3252 well it was also kind of shown that she was a little insane beforehand. Since she had a lot of issues with her childhood and everything else.
Here’s an interesting theory:
MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!!
the dog in her room is actually just another hallucination she created to dissociate from the terror of being cuffed to a bedpost while a cannibal is eating her husband.
Right before she has the first hallucination, she hears something outside her window and we are never shown what it was, right after she mutters “help” in a very defeated tone. I think seeing the moonlight man outside her window is actually what broke her mind. Moments later, the apparition of her husband gets on to her about escaping to her head and not facing the truth of the situation. Then just a few minutes later the “dog” enters the room.
When we first see the moonlight man, we hear the dog barking outside. The dog from earlier in the film actually existed, but when she heard it was outside barking it messed up the continuity of her hallucinations, so she was forced to see the real thing.
Later, when she escapes nothing else is ever mentioned about the dog, just that the police took her amnesia at face value, “something they knew was common in these situations.”
If this theory is true it makes the ending much more powerful, because confronting the moonlight man signifies her overcoming her escapism by becoming strong enough to face the truth.
@@Im_alex_h its actually shown in the movie indirectly. We don't know whether or not the dog had one or two bites of the arm. I personally believe so. You are right though with the Moonlight man. They said that noses, ear, eyes, faces etc were often eatin by the moonlight man and you see after she escaped and tripped right next to her husband, that half his face and especially the eye holes are carved out. So that was for sure the moonlight man. In one scene he licked also her foot so I think that was before going '' under the bed'' as the hallucination of her dead husband explains.'' he's under the bed and could grab your foot... Any time ''
Sorry im late but how could this be possible? At the end when the dog bites her arm that would mean the moonlight man would have to do this so how could he teleport to the end of the corridor
This was such a great movie no only was it a thriller horror movie but his has a great story line. The way the writer show that she dug up her terrifying past to use it to help her. It shows a great message through the story.
Damn, I actually had surgery on my hand (I had a bony ganglion cyst on the back of my wrist) and while gore doesn't affect me at all, the scene where she broke free of the bed made my stomach drop and me hold my hand to my chest lol.

I do great with gore, but that part with the skin getting pulled up hurt me in a way. I had a similar injury on my leg where I had 30 stitches, dr had to pull my skin down to patch my leg up... I hate being reminded of that pain.
lol for real I'm a horror fanatic and that scene was the first time I've ever looked away from Gore
It's funny u say that because I thought I was the only one that couldn't handle that scene. Gore never makes sqeemish but that particular scene h.g.had me wincing and clutching my wrist, was damn near on the verge to having to look away
The fact that no one is talking about Carla Gugino’s mind blowing performance is the real horror! She deserved ALL the awards for this!
"No one is talking about--." Proceeds to talk about it. Does that make your name "No one"?
When she ripped the skin off her hand I gagged, and I can watch someone get the whole front half of their body ripped off like in the movie 'The Ritual' and not even be phased. Obviously not in real life.
Max The Ritual wasn’t that bad, I enjoyed it
“Where Hermione lands a job...” HAHA
Kenai I thought he was going to do the same for Tom Hanks. Like lands a job with Forrest Gump.
She has two sets of handcuffs as an adult, but only one as a child, meaning one set was put by her father and one by Gerald. And after the struggle of getting free of the first set, she gets to the key and simply unlocks the second set, meaning after she freed herself of her father's mental torment she found a way to escape her husband's too
That's such a good insight
This was actually a good movie
Ezria Daniels nope
Ezria Daniels i hated this movie it was too much for me
The book was very good too, can defo recommend reading it as well
DUDE
DO YOU KNOW WHO STEPHEN KING IS?
chris pawlik u probably watching porn
When that kinky stuff goes wrong...!
BAD POETRY WITH: Phillis Wivers When it goes supernaturally wrong.
BAD POETRY WITH: Phillis Wivers *ŵhêêêêżê* indeed.
i stubbed my tow and i started to imagine a princess making out with me..
BAD POETRY WITH: Phillis Wivers lo
BAD POETRY WITH: Phillis Wivers in the hood gone wrong got shot police called
You know maybe somebody needs to check on Stephen King he really wrote a lot of books about children in sexual situations or more less than getting abused
It's a man thing. When male authors can't think of new, interesting, realistic, or intriguing ways to flesh out female characters, their immediate go-to is rape/molestation. It's so fucking old, tired, and cliche.
It's also classic use of sublimation. From a psychological standpoint, dude clearly has weird dark sexual thoughts and/or urges and instead of acting them out describes them in grisly sordid detail. Because that is the only socially acceptable ways to enact such fantasies.
Yeah, I'm glad you acknowledge it. I like that this film has a good message and a cool, spooky vibe but it seems almost everyone is so hush-hush about the sexualizing of underage people in most of his works. Some stories every so often I could understand such a theme since it's traumatizing but in so many? Gets pretty tiresome and I think it says something about the mind of King.
Also why does he use so many things tied to menstruation and a woman's views on her own body for a seemingly negative or random reasons- not that such things are cause for concern but they're reoccurring themes. An author's choice ofc but I don't believe that it's purely for the sake of a shock factor.
While I'm at it, I don't like that The Moonlight Man is "disfigured". People born with birth defects aren't innately sinister. The physically deformed often scare those who are not although it shouldn't and it feels like a cheap, dirty scare for a writer of King's esteem to take.
I’ve always thought the same thing. But he also made a living writing about taboo stuff in general
@@FeministCatwoman yh i bet you can write better
ChimichangoBOOM exploiting childhood trauma is common in horror.
The fact that there are people out there who related to the lead probably made this movie 1000x better for them.
True horror knows how to get it's audience.
You forgot to mention the dog was moonlight man! Jessie hallucinated moonlight man as the dog to make him less scary. The dog was only real in the 1st couple minutes of the movie
The dog was real and eating Gerald during the day but moonlight man was eating Gerald at night.
what???????
@@moneygrabber6720 I thought so. Bcus in her recap in the end the dogs pae prints are in the blood along with the Moonlight mans footprints too. After the moonlight man first showed up scaring away the dog I'd like to think the rest of the 'dog' scenes were the Moonlight Man.
Paw prints*
But he supposedly only likes males so he wouldn’t eat her right?
I would've been like "Hey Siri. Call 911."
Smart
But how would you get your phone, open it and hold the home button?
+【Retro 悪】 You can use Siri without having it unlocked.
But you need your phone plugged in right?
Not all of us use Siri.
you should make a poll in your video so its easier to vote next time! its a nice feature.

CMDR Durakine same it's easy and a good idea
Ya that's so mush easier
Once it's broken down this movie ends up having a very powerful message.
Not really
She-Woman Man-Hater it actually does
Yes, it does especially for those who have past tragedies. It doesn't matter what the tragedies are what matters is that you are stronger than what happened to you.
This is one of the greatest non blockbuster movies I've seen. It should've got more attention. Its brilliant.
the moonlight man looks like a demon version of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the thumbnail
to me he looked like a scarier version of Woody from Toy Story lmao

-play you got a friend with me
That was a great movie but it really disturbed me. I watched it just before bed, too!
Fun fact: Jessie’s dad is played by Henry Thomas, aka a grownup Eliot from E.T.
Carolina Lopez yes
Oh that's pretty cool
dhrm mrhd oh wow nice fact thanks for the info I appreciate it
Oh shiiiit wud up
I found Gerald's game truly horrifying mainly because of the fear of the Unknown, it just plays with that so well and when we discover the moonlight man was real that just ruined the scariness of the film
I disagree, through the film it is the fear of the unknown, but at the end finding out he was real was a great way to have closure.
CatrickTV I agree with you the film did play with xenophobia a lot having the moonlight man be real was a great way to put the audience in the characters shoes for a split moment to show how she felt in the moment when she let all her demons go.
CatrickTV look I just would've preferred it if the moonlight man's identity was just kept ambiguous
All the other ppl she imagined were ppl she knew. It fits the film perfectly well that the moonlight man was real.
It just made it more interesting knowing in the end, to realise how big of a danger she was really in. And she was much closer to death than we thought.
Later she imagined the moonlight man, because she previously met him, that makes sense.
....just freaked me out to think he was actually there.
Was also necessary for plot development, where she was able to face him in daylight in person . Made her able to let go of her past and her nightmares.
Nicely done.
the doctor I started having nightmares after watching it. Because I would think the moonlight man would show up in my room like she did.
Who else Looked away when She Took of the Handcuff and The Skin Peeled ?
Me😵😵
I was shouting at my laptop at that point and my dad had to see if i was okay 😂

I hate when people confuse "unconsciously" with "subconsciously". Those hold 2 drastically different meanings.
Remy Mafia too bad u dont seem to understand that
+Satan What the fuck are you talking about? :-/
Remy Mafia
I agree , they are really different . Unconsciously , you know , means that you do it when you're on autopilot (Metaphorically) but I can't remember what subconsciously means right now
+LunarEclihpze The 44th Subconsciously means that your actions are inspired by a deep rooted memory (like a childhood event), you might not even be aware of.
Remy Mafia
Ok , thanks .
I’m glad she got a somewhat happy ending and was able to become stronger due to her experiences.
Doesn't bother me which movie you do, as long as you make another great video
Snek God ditto

“Ending explained”
As you explain the movie start to finish...
Oh, shush.
Honestly this video is pretty crappy too, all of this is plainly stated in the movie. I was hoping for some theory crafting or something, not this bullshit.
@@iMonikah honestly i feel like the majority of people watching these movies aren't really here for theories and just trying to watch a movie without paying, including myself. I'm sure if you're more direct in searching, i.e. looking up "Geralds Game Theories" (unless you had in which my apologies) you'll find what you're looking for in greater detail.
Liiisssstteeeennnn..
BenGamer you must be new here
I am not the biggest fan of Stephen King but Geralds Game is the absolute best of horrors I've seen in my entire life. Thanks for the explanation. I watched it myself so I knew
.
It’s good but try watching hereditary
@@kellyleung1332You mean one of the most overrated movies ever? With a terrible clusterfuck of an ending? It isn't scary. Especially after the only seen that does invoke dread happens.
Honestly from the Moonlight man's perspective, I too wouldn't want to mess with someone walking towards me with their hand cut off for the sake of survival
Who's the bigger Gay Horror Icon, Babadook or the Moonlight Man?
Babadook
the babadook wasn't gay just cause it got accidentally genred wrong on Netflix -_-
Tea ray is😂😂😂🤣🤣
Goretician r/whoooosh
Babadook is bi
You forgot reference to Cujo.
It was mentioned in the movie so I will let it slide.
It’s funny cause i didn’t know the movie Cujo at all and i had just seen it on tv like 2 hours before watching this movie. The coincidence omg
esml It’s mentioned in quite a few movies.
When I heard his name I was like huh isnt that the same name for the dog in that horror movie xD
you missed the easter egg when the imaginary husband called the dog cujo, because the dog ate him
He also said "all things serve the Beam" at one point. And the woman Jessie sees in her vision, at the end of a tunnel? That´s Dolores Claybourne
Fede i don't know that one, i just thought cujo was a obvious refference
Samuel Sundberg
I don't get it :|
MrAlex
That's pretty cool
Fede for sure it was. Gerald’s game and Dolores Claiborne were released as a set, and both books reference and influence each other throughout. Good catch!
This is why I like mike Flanagan. He adds a lot of emotion to his horror making you connect with the characters and actually care about them.
When you blatantly called her "Hermione" I fucking screamed.
Rissa Lynn cause that's all Emma Watson is
neeeh....okay maybe...okay yeah...
Yeah, Im sure you just randomly screamed.
Jessie went through a lot
Tori Walker-Gulley yes she did omg
