![MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - KOMBAT PACK 2 REVEAL TRAILER!! [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mi2M58zEQVc/mqdefault.jpg)
Oh and forgot to add "DANGER BLOOD!"
A lot of people like it not because it is super scary, but because of the structure of the film. It plays out much like a Noir mystery film. It's like a horror detective film.
I like this part as well, but with there was mire samara. I'd prefer the first scene to give us a little more kick.
I find the humid atmosphere of the film so pleasant. The cinematography is just great. I actually find it very cozy, weirdly enough. It was a scary movie when I was a kid, now it’s a comfort movie I put on when I’m hit with melancoly.
facts. the original has the same vibes. its so good.
"their face is what they'd look like if they were lying underwater and a camera took a photo of them"
omg i have seen this movie several times and never figured out that this is the reason behind the blurred faces in the photos once someone has watched the video. nice catch!!
There are so many subliminal images in this film. One example is the caretaker a Shelter Mountain who does the card trick for Rachel. After many failed attempts before she finally leaves the office and he gives it one last go he draws the seven of spades and she finally concedes and says "thats it' dispite it still being wrong. Spades are used to dig (as on a well) and seven is the number of days. It's a movie worth multiple viewings...... Oh and sulphur is the smell you were looking for when it comes to a demonic presence.
I should add, as a seasoned horror hound, this came out when I was 18 and it still managed to deeply disturb me. And, yes, it's more of a psychological horror/mystery than something full on visceral.
Excellent spot about that 7 of spades! I love little hidden hints like this throughout a movie and i would never have noticed this. Thanks for confirming what the weird smell is too, i knew it was something that isn't too nice haha. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video mate 😊
@@JackWillReact there's great foreshadowing in this film. The scene where Rachel copied the tape for Noah the fly appears on two separate screens but it's the same size despite the second screen being noticeably smaller than the main screen.
One of my favorite horror movies of all time. I love love how the story built and was more of a mystery than a traditional horror movie with just jumpscares and gore. Those can be great fun too, but I think it made for an overall better story and left the ending and the twist at the end more of a surprise since it didn't have that cashgrab traditional horror movie pace/plot.
Side note, Dan is super attractive. The eye contact and the smile? Damn. Looking forward to seeing more of the two of you!
I definitely prefer a horror that is built on more of a mystery, makes you think etc as opposed to gore horrors which are just there for more of a shock factor.
Haha, I'll also pass this side note on to Dan, i'm sure he'll greatly appreciate that!!
Every time Aiden says "you weren't supposed to help her" I still get chills. There's a sequel to this movie, too, if you fancy jumping back into this story.
This movie scared the shit out of me when I watched it back in 2002 at the age of 14. I had nightmares for weeks! First and only horror movie to do that to me. It doesn't seem that impressive rewatching it now, but at the time it was seriously disturbing lol.
"Where are all the cool non-awkward men? Like us!". I will share it so you will come for me!!
I saw this movie in the theatres when it came out in 2002 with a bunch of friends everyone there was freaking out it was the first of its kind many of the cliches today came from the popularity of this film so it was scary as shit back in the day. Not to mention at the time there were so many terrible horror movies and the storyline in this was actually amazing. After we all saw the movie we would call it each others houses and whisper 7 days as a silly joke. God I feel old
far too few reaction channels comment on the AWFUL parenting in this movie THANK YOU! Scary Movie 3 commented on it ruthlessly with it's Ring parody 😆 also that actor who played Ring Girl's dad is fantastic in Autopsy of Jane Doe, if you fancy reacting to a horror movie that would be extremely difficult to make youtube safe (all the nudity, all the gore, all the good stuff)
Omg yes! Autopsy of Jane Doe is excellent!
There are two sequels and a short movie after this movie. “2005 The Ring Two” “”2005 Rings short film” that takes place between this movie and “The Ring Two” and 2017 Rings that takes place about 13 years after the Ring Two. I also would recommend you both checking them out AS WELL as the Original Japanese movies “Ringu, Ringu 2 and Ringu Birthday. And everyone who’s commented and suggested The Grudge YES definitely a must see.
I was aware of the Ring movie that came out in 2017 but not the other ones you mentioned so thanks for the info, and the explanation on the time periods between them! 😊 I've definitely been thinking about checking out the original Japanese version too since watching the first. The Grudge seems like a movie too good in this genre to pass up on!
@@JackWillReact”Rings 2005” would’ve been a GREAT sequel
54:59 Not Dan saying UNresponsible lmao. You mean…. Irresponsible? Bahahah at least when Jack said symbolistic it was a real word 😆
Wonderful channel! Easily subscribed. Y’all deserve more subs! Sending good luck from Virginia USA 💕
Thanks for the kind words, and the sub! Welcome in, all the way from Virginia!! 😊
Really enjoyed your reaction and excited to see where your channel goes next!
The scariest part of this film for me is that Samara is played by the same girl who did the voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stitch. I now see this as a "if Stitch never appeared" sort of movie.
I wish it was even possible to explain how INSANE the series of books this film is based on gets. And I don’t mean like ‘omg such a twist!’ type insane. I mean like insane insane.
You could say they threw you for a loop 😎
Didn't have my contacts in and read "The Thing" and was super exited ...
You should watch Shutter, the orginal Thai version. It's kind of in the same category as The Ring and The Grudge!
How is Shutter in the same category? It s a Thai film not Japanese lie, Ring and Grudge
@@lessismore8533 creepy, killer Asian girl getting revenge
This was great. You guys should watch the decent next.
Thanks so much! And we recorded The Descent a few days ago, just gotta get it edited 😊
@@JackWillReactawesome!! I will be on the look out for it! 😃
Great reaction guys. Basically samaras curse is like a virus, and she spares you if you spread it becauseall she wants is to be heard and hurt people. So making a copy and having someone watch that copy you pass it on to them and it spares you. Highly recommend watche the short film "Rings" (not the 3rd movie which is the same title) before watching the ring 2
4:19 - nope, especially after saltburn- I won’t even swim at a mates house. People licking bottoms of the pool and crazy shit like that. God no.
The end shows you that if you made a copy and showed it to someone else, you would be spared for spreading her story because in the asylum she said she wanted to be heard, by showing it to someone else you are spreading her story, that’s why she made her son make the copy and now he is gonna have to show it to someone else, Rachel already showed it to her ex so she was automatically spared from the start, Rachel’s husband didn’t spread her story so he died.
Great reaction! Hope to see more of you guys
Thanks mate, really appreciate that! Currently editing the next video, hoping to get it out soon. Christmas and the New Year slowing everything down
@@JackWillReact nice! is there a hint of the next one?
@@danieldamazio636 S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 👀
@@JackWillReactsaltburn?
@@AtomicVampire1 as guesses go, that's a pretty great one!
You guys are so fun, I'm delighted to have a new reaction channel to follow! If you want to continue with horror I'd kill for you to watch Rec. (2007) if you haven't seen it, first movie to ever properly creep me out and still in my top 3 horror movies 17 years later.
Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words, glad to have you here! I've not seen Rec so that'll definitely go on the list, thanks for the recommendation!
Get you a friend the way Dan looks at Jack 17:24 😂 new to your channel but already love your all’s bromance haha.
The paranormal activity series would be hilarious to see you guys react to 😂😂
"Ah you know what?" Says like he's going to say something he's realized.... "cellars are always fun" 😂
Loving your channel, new subscripter from Italy.😊
That's so cool! Very glad to have you here all the way from Italy! 😊
@@JackWillReact Thank you! ☺️
you guys are hilarious. please react to the grudge (2004) if you haven’t seen it already, it’s the other popular american remake of a j-horror film.
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the video mate! The Grudge is such a good suggestion, it's 100% on the list now!
And the US version was directed by the same guy who directed the Japanese version "Ju-on".
@@dwaterson21 yes! hoping they still plan on watching.
This reaction was hilarious, I loved it.
Thanks for this I laughed my arse off. The music is great in this movie.
At the end, we all watch the tape so we have 7 days also 😂
I personally love this movie because of the slow burn and the shock ending. Also when I first saw this in theatres I was 11 years old, and I had to have my mom remove the tv from my bedroom. So it would have hit a lot harder if you saw this as a kid!
The dead faces didn’t scare you?
Also Rachel didn’t die becuase she made the COPY and showed it to Noah. Noah didn’t make his own copy to pass it on
The movies tone and build up wiuldve been completely ruined if it built up to one big cheesy jumpscare at the end. Or when a scene is scaring the shit out of you without any jumpscare at all, like Samara crawling out of the TV.The way you know a movie is building tension right is when you jump at the more subtle "jumpscares". Like the TV static kicking in after the tape plays. The movie balanced the horror perfectly. Its like people who watch the blair witch project for the first time expecting a jumpscare fest and then being disappointed when it isnt that.
classic Logan Roy preferring to die than to deal with his kids' messes
As an associate PI I am very impressed with your ability to identify danger blood. That's some pretty advanced stuff, are you guys sure you aren't trained professionals??
This movie traumatized me as a kid. Now, all I can think about is how much I can’t STAND the color grading. It’s even worse than Twilight which is god awful. In what world would anyone color grade an entire film to be green blue
Y'all missed the ending because it isn't until after the credits.
I believe she did not die because someone watched the tape before the 7 days was up so, for you to be save you need someone else to watch the tape before your time is up and that would be a never ending cycle of doom atleast that's how I understand it. 🤔
the japanese original movie is way more jarring but is definitely scarier than this remake 😳
Racheal thought if they helped Samara she would be at peace. What she fell to understand is Samara didn't want help, she wanted to kill. She was pure evil and there was not an once of compassion or empathy within her.
I’d take a holy cross and a blindfold😂😂😂
one of my all time favorite films
Fun reaction guys! A couple of others you might enjoy are The Grudge and Shutter. And one you SHOULD DEFINATELY WATCH is Train To Busan. Its a korean film and if you decide to watch it do not watch the english dubbed version. It's AMAZING and everyone I've watched react to it says the same!!
Have you guys seen the Scream franchise? the movies are mad fun
I've not seen any of them and Dan has seen barely any horrors. The Scream franchise is a bloody brilliant suggestion!
Basically it’s a chain letter concept.
You guys should have seen when this initially came out how audiences reacted when that little girl crawled through the screen. NO ONE saw that coming and it was a genuine fright to us all. O_O
Hi guys just started seeing your videos. I recommend you both watch sinister 1&2 .
I feel welcome, thank you :)
I prefer the Japanese original Ringu movies. In my opinion, characters in those make better, more logical decisions.
You guys have such funny kind nature love your reactions, you are both quite perceptive .. love from Egypt
Love you guys, can you watch signs (2002)!?
The real question is, are you going to watch the sequel and reboot(?)
guys, you have to watch talk to me and when evil lurks
Everyone is weird??? In this horror movie???? Get out! No way! People normally acting so chill in horror movies… You think Rachel is a bad mother??? At least she’s raising him unlike his deadbeat dad…
Samara is there with the TV ❤❤ l need face my fear
Jack, you said "flashlight" instead of "torch".
Hey mates...happened
Jack's a great ride. Huge pause.
Guys, you should check out Evil Dead franchise and “Talk To Me”.
If the main character was a man, you wouldn't be freaking about how long it'd been since he'd seen her child, shit
Whatch part two from the ring
Oh we have it on the list! Looking forward to it too! 😊
@@JackWillReact Don't watch part 3, called Rings. It literally stinks.
the sexual tension between you guys is so riveting
Ikr 😂
finally someone said it
If you haven't seen it, you should watch "The Grudge"
you have to watch the second one it’s better
Guys pls react THE GRUDGE
Part 2 please.
it's better
It is the copy of the Original japanese movie RINGU of 1998. That is better then this one.
Sorry to an Oliver Quick, but is your your color hazel? Cheers. #yank
I had to stop 22 minutes in because they kept making the same joke every few seconds. She isn’t a terrible mother, not a typical one. I was making my own pbj lunches in fourth grade and I lived around the corner from the school and walked. The amount of people nowadays, when told not to watch a video because of how terrible it is, yet still watch the video, it is not surprising to me that she may not believe the video has powers to kill. Millions of people would be skeptic and watch it
Cute couple 😘
Are you two a couple or something
Two 13 year old kids with beards watching a horror movie 🤣
Honestly, you're not wrong there 😂
Pls react on Indian movies you got meany views ❤
You should watch Terrifier + Terrifier 2
Like rotting meat
The Ring is indeed more about creepy men, terrible pacing, lousy directing and below-par writing. Which is usually the case for remakes. Since Hollywood is more focused on jumpscares and the original didn't really have any, this movie kind of falls flat. Japanese horror is generally known for either explicit gore or suspense, so they didn't really have much to work with except for the story. The problem then becomes that the director didn't seem to understand what the strength of the original movie was, so it focused on different aspects that didn't really complement the story.
If you'd have watched the original Japanese movie (usually referred to as "Ringu", due to the Japanese pronunciation) you'd see the same movie with a lot of suspense through camera work, better pacing because it _feels_ more unsettling, and actually a slightly more cohesive storyline. It also refrains from showing you the visual gore the US remake added (plus, they're not showing Samara's face at all behind the long hair), so it uses your own imagination against you. That's how good psychological horror works well, by _not_ showing you things and letting your mind run wild.
But if you want to explore a more ... _fun_ movie, why don't you check out the Japanese movie _Battle Royale_ ? It doesn't feel like it's a great movie in terms of acting, but the simple story and the execution is quite enjoyable.
You guys are far more entertaining than this movie ever was. I can’t stand it. And just like you said it’s because the main character is an absolutely awful person. That combined with everything being a sickly looking green made me sit through it frowning and rolling my eyes. 😂
You have ruined the film super well.
Boohoo
