[0:00] People keep saying modern horror's
[0:01] trash. They're not wrong about most of
[0:04] it, but I've got 10 movies here that
[0:05] prove genuinely terrifying cinema is
[0:08] alive and well, assuming you can
[0:10] actually find them, which is half the
[0:12] problem. So, starting things off, I'm
[0:13] going to talk about Lake Mungo. And
[0:15] likely, it's probably sitting on some
[0:16] streaming service you've never heard of,
[0:18] charging you 12 bucks a month for the
[0:20] privilege of watching three movies from
[0:22] 2003. I spent more time trying to find
[0:24] this thing legally than I did actually
[0:26] watching it, which is saying something
[0:28] because this movie is slow, really slow.
[0:31] But here's the weird part. I've got
[0:32] crippling ADHD, bad ADHD. It's hard for
[0:35] me to sit through most things without
[0:37] checking my phone every 10 minutes. The
[0:39] Witch, I couldn't do it. It was just too
[0:41] boring for me, sue me. But Lake Mungo
[0:43] had me glued to the screen for the whole
[0:46] 90 minutes. And honestly, I loved every
[0:48] second of it. It's this Australian movie
[0:50] that looks exactly like one of those
[0:52] true crime documentaries your mom
[0:54] watches. You know, the ones with the
[0:56] dramatic recreations and talking head
[0:58] interviews. Except this family isn't
[1:00] talking about their missing daughter
[1:01] because she ran away to join a cult. She
[1:03] drowned. Alice Palmer, 16 years old,
[1:06] dead in a lake. The movie starts after
[1:08] the funeral. The parents are doing that
[1:10] thing where they're trying to hold it
[1:11] together for the cameras, but you can
[1:13] tell they're completely broken inside.
[1:15] The brother's angry. Everyone's just
[1:17] trying to figure out how to keep living
[1:19] when this massive thing happened to
[1:20] their family. Then, weird stuff starts
[1:22] happening in their house. Now, most
[1:24] ghost movies would have dishes flying
[1:26] around and doors slamming. Lake Mungo
[1:28] gives you a phone ringing at 3:00 in the
[1:30] morning. Pictures that look a little bit
[1:32] off. A bell that should not be ringing.
[1:34] Small things that make you think you're
[1:36] just going to go crazy. The genius part
[1:38] is how real this movie feels. These
[1:40] people talk like actual grieving family
[1:43] members, not movie actors in a horror
[1:46] movie. The mom keeps checking Alice's
[1:48] room. The dad throws himself into his
[1:50] work. The brother gets protective and
[1:52] angry at everyone trying to exploit
[1:54] their tragedy. And this whole time
[1:56] you're watching this home video footage
[1:58] that's a mix of what Alice filmed before
[2:00] she died and her brother documenting
[2:02] everything else. Just like normal
[2:04] teenager stuff, hanging out with
[2:05] friends, being annoying, doing whatever
[2:07] teenagers do, which makes everything so
[2:09] much worse because she feels like a real
[2:11] person, not some horror movie victim.
[2:14] The scary part isn't really the ghost
[2:16] stuff. It's watching this family try to
[2:18] process something that doesn't make any
[2:20] sense. How do you move on when your kid
[2:22] just dies? How do you sleep in a house
[2:24] when you keep hearing her voice? How do
[2:27] you explain to people that you saw her
[2:28] standing in your backyard? Most horror
[2:30] movies give you 20 jump scares and call
[2:32] it a day. Lake Mungo gives you only one,
[2:36] and it's absolutely brutal because by
[2:39] that point you care about these people.
[2:42] You just spent an hour and a half with
[2:43] them and you want them to be okay, but
[2:46] they're not okay, and neither will you
[2:48] after you see what Alice has left
[2:49] behind. And speaking of disturbing found
[2:52] footage that is going to give you
[2:53] nightmares, this next movie was
[2:55] literally filmed at one. Back in high
[2:57] school, I dressed up as a clown and
[2:59] chased people with a chainsaw. Now, you
[3:01] might think, "Holy you are a
[3:03] psychopath." But I promise I am not. It
[3:06] was part of our student government thing
[3:08] and we put on a haunted house for
[3:09] charity. So, me being this like awkward
[3:12] teenager who was like 6'2 and kind of
[3:14] tall and broad, I was like, "Let me
[3:16] scare the out of some people." This was
[3:18] also back in time when everyone kept to
[3:19] seeing those clowns pop up in like news
[3:21] articles. So, this is at the peak of the
[3:23] clown terror. What we did is we built
[3:25] this whole like haunted house thing. At
[3:27] the very end of this haunted house,
[3:28] there was a stairwell all of the people
[3:29] going through the haunted house would
[3:30] walk up. I was hiding behind the door
[3:33] and they would walk out into this
[3:35] hallway and then at the end of the
[3:36] hallway was the end of the haunted
[3:37] house. And so, I would walk very quietly
[3:40] out of this door behind all of them so
[3:43] they could not see me. And then I would
[3:44] rev a chainsaw, start laughing like,
[3:49] and and chase them down the hallway. The
[3:51] chainsaw had the blade taken off, so it
[3:53] was completely safe. I had a lot of fun.
[3:55] Everyone their pants. It was amazing
[3:57] experience. Like the tallest guys that
[3:59] were on my football team, they were
[4:00] pretty scared. It was fun. It was
[4:01] amazing. I loved it. Here's a picture
[4:03] for proof. I thought that whole
[4:04] situation was hilarious though, until I
[4:07] watched Hell House LLC and realized how
[4:10] quickly fun scares can turn into an
[4:12] actual nightmare. This movie follows a
[4:14] group of people setting up a haunted
[4:16] house attraction in an old hotel. Seems
[4:19] normal enough, right? Buy some fake
[4:21] blood, set up jump scares, charge 20
[4:23] bucks admission. Easy money. Except they
[4:25] picked the worst possible location. The
[4:28] Abaddon Hotel isn't just old and creepy.
[4:30] It's legitimately haunted and not in
[4:33] like a fun way. The movie shows you
[4:35] their set up footage. They're hanging
[4:36] decorations, testing sound effects,
[4:38] placing these really unsettling clown
[4:40] mannequins around the basement. Standard
[4:43] haunted house stuff. But then things
[4:44] start going wrong in small ways. A clown
[4:47] dummy moves when nobody's near him.
[4:49] Doors open by themselves. One crew
[4:51] member quits after seeing something that
[4:53] made him go completely pale. The smart
[4:55] move would be pack up and find a
[4:57] different building. But these people
[4:59] have already spent their money and
[5:00] opening night is coming up. 15 people
[5:03] died that night. Customers and staff.
[5:06] The brilliant part is how they reveal
[5:08] what happened. You get pieces of the
[5:10] story through security cameras,
[5:12] camcorder footage and interviews with
[5:14] survivors. Well, the one survivor, who
[5:16] might not actually be a survivor at all.
[5:18] The basement scene this movie is
[5:20] absolutely perfect. They set up strobe
[5:22] lights down there as part of the
[5:23] attraction. Customers are walking
[5:25] through, everything seems normal, and
[5:26] then the strobing lights reveal one of
[5:28] those clown mannequins is moving. And
[5:30] not just moving, but getting closer to
[5:32] this actress who's chained up as part of
[5:34] the fake ritual scene. Turns out the
[5:36] ritual isn't fake anymore. This movie
[5:38] builds this incredible tension because
[5:40] you know something terrible is going to
[5:41] happen, but you're watching all the set
[5:43] up footage where everyone's just doing
[5:45] their job. They're joking around,
[5:47] complaining about the long hours,
[5:48] arguing about where to put the fog
[5:50] machine, normal work stuff. Then opening
[5:52] night arrives and all hell breaks loose,
[5:56] literally. This movie feels so
[5:58] realistic. It's another amazing found
[6:01] footage gem. This is the number one
[6:02] movie I recommend to any like normie
[6:04] person that's trying to get into horror
[6:06] movies because most of them have not
[6:08] seen this movie and it will genuinely
[6:10] make you your pants. Such a good movie.
[6:12] By the end you literally will never want
[6:14] to go to a haunted house again. But if
[6:15] moving clowns are going to freak you
[6:16] out, wait and see me something that
[6:18] kills you when you blink. So right now
[6:20] you're probably thinking about blinking
[6:21] cuz I just said that. Well, sorry about
[6:23] that. Try not to think about it for the
[6:24] next few minutes. Why? Let's find out.
[6:27] Butterfly Kisses takes this automatic
[6:29] thing your eyes do and turns it into a
[6:31] death sentence. Some film students in
[6:33] Maryland heard this local urban legend
[6:35] about a tunnel where you can summon
[6:37] something called Peeping Tom. This is
[6:39] what Peeping Tom looks like and he tells
[6:41] you you need to like and subscribe to
[6:42] the channel, right? Right? Right?
[6:45] Anyways, Peeping Tom. The rules are
[6:47] simple. Stand at the entrance of a
[6:49] tunnel at midnight. Stare down the dark
[6:52] tunnel for exactly 1 hour without
[6:53] blinking and this thing will appear at
[6:55] the far end. But every time you blink
[6:57] afterwards,
[6:59] it gets closer. The students figured
[7:01] they found a loophole though. Cameras
[7:03] don't blink, right? So they set up
[7:05] equipment and started filming. Terrible
[7:06] idea, but great for us because we get to
[7:08] watch the footage they left behind and
[7:10] there's a lot of footage. This whole
[7:12] movie is structured as a documentary
[7:13] about the documentary. Some guy named
[7:16] Gavin finds these tapes years later and
[7:18] becomes obsessed with proving they're
[7:20] real. Nobody believes him though. His
[7:22] wife thinks he's losing it. Film experts
[7:24] call it fake. Even the Blair Witch
[7:26] Project director shows up to basically
[7:28] say it's obviously staged, which makes
[7:30] everything way more convincing. The
[7:32] original footage shows these two
[7:33] students getting way too deep into
[7:35] something they should have left alone.
[7:37] They actually managed to summon this
[7:39] Peeping Tom thing. You can see it in
[7:41] their video. This tall figure standing
[7:43] at the end of the tunnel, perfectly
[7:45] still. Then the camera cuts away for a
[7:47] second, and when it comes back, the
[7:49] thing has moved closer. The whole movie
[7:51] becomes a slow countdown. Every blink
[7:54] brings death closer, and you literally
[7:56] cannot stop yourself from blinking
[7:59] because your body won't let you. One of
[8:01] the students completely loses it and
[8:03] starts seeing Peeping Tom everywhere, in
[8:06] windows, behind trees, standing in his
[8:09] bedroom. The other one gets so desperate
[8:11] that she does something that is so
[8:13] unbelievably disturbing. I'm not going
[8:16] to spoil it for you, but you just got to
[8:18] watch the movie. This movie shows you
[8:20] the aftermath of that decision. The girl
[8:23] who did the crazy thing is in a mental
[8:25] hospital, still insisting that she can
[8:27] see Peeping Tom coming for her. She
[8:29] can't escape, and she can't unsee what's
[8:32] hunting her. Meanwhile, Gavin in the
[8:34] present day is going through the exact
[8:35] same spiral. He's so determined to prove
[8:38] the footage is real that he starts
[8:39] experiencing the same things. Seeing
[8:41] figures in dark places, feeling watched,
[8:44] getting more and more paranoid. Then
[8:47] Gavin disappears, too. They find his
[8:49] body later, and suddenly the documentary
[8:51] team realizes that they might be dealing
[8:53] with something actually dangerous. Not
[8:55] just old footage, but an active threat
[8:57] that spreads through the tapes
[8:58] themselves. Again, this is another found
[9:00] footage movie. Call me a found footage,
[9:03] but I think it's one of the best formats
[9:05] of horror movies. I also think it could
[9:07] be one of the worst because there's a
[9:08] lot of found footage movies out there
[9:10] because of how easy it is to make. But I
[9:12] think when it's done well, best type of
[9:14] horror movie. Unfortunately, there's a
[9:15] lot of in that pile. You know what?
[9:17] People got to try though. You got to
[9:18] make movies or you're going to make good
[9:20] movies. Have you seen some of the first
[9:21] YouTube videos I made? They are
[9:23] horrible. The only way I got to this
[9:25] place is by being so
[9:27] that I got good. It's literally how you
[9:28] do everything. Ultimately though, this
[9:30] movie is terrifying. But at least
[9:32] Peeping Tom let you choose the horror
[9:35] you went through. This next family had
[9:37] no choice about their destruction. Every
[9:39] family has those home videos where dad's
[9:41] way too excited about the new camcorder.
[9:43] You know the ones, Christmas morning,
[9:45] 1997. Everyone's in pajamas looking dead
[9:48] inside while dad zooms in on people's
[9:50] faces asking how they slept. Exhibit A
[9:52] starts exactly the same way. The King
[9:54] family seems perfectly normal in their
[9:56] home footage. The daughter Judith got
[9:58] the camera as a gift, so now she's
[10:00] documenting everything. Dad Andy's
[10:03] planning to move them into a bigger
[10:04] house. Mom Sheila's dinner and little
[10:07] brother Joe's being annoying. Standard
[10:09] British family stuff. Yeah, they're
[10:11] British. Andy's the star of these early
[10:13] videos. He's one of those dads who
[10:15] thinks they're funnier than they are,
[10:17] making jokes behind the camera, talking
[10:19] about his big promotion at work. Classic
[10:22] dad behavior. You have seen this dad
[10:24] before. He's the guy at barbecues. I
[10:25] don't have to point out which guy he is.
[10:27] He's just the guy at barbecues. You will
[10:29] understand exactly what I mean. But then
[10:31] things start getting weird in small
[10:32] ways. Andy starts getting a little too
[10:34] interested in everyone's business,
[10:37] asking too many questions, getting upset
[10:39] about stuff that shouldn't matter. The
[10:41] camera catches these moments where his
[10:43] smile drops for just a second before
[10:45] snapping back into place. Turns out Andy
[10:48] hasn't been very truthful about a lot of
[10:50] things. I'm not going to spoil exactly
[10:52] what those things are, but let's just
[10:54] say Andy is not a very good person. And
[10:57] the family doesn't know any of this yet,
[10:59] but they're still making their normal
[11:01] home videos while Andy is slowly
[11:03] spiraling. And then one night the
[11:06] unthinkable happens. Now, I'm not going
[11:09] to spoil the ending of this movie, but
[11:10] basically it is extremely terrifying 15
[11:13] to 20 minutes. It's just genuinely
[11:15] unsettling because this could happen in
[11:17] real life. Again, found footage comes
[11:19] in, makes it so much more real and you
[11:21] are forced to watch this movie through
[11:23] the perspective of a child. It's this
[11:25] beautiful use of pacing to this big
[11:27] snapping point and then it's just a
[11:30] cluster. It's amazing though. So we
[11:32] learned that families can be destroyed
[11:34] by certain things. But what happens when
[11:37] there's an evil out there that's older
[11:39] than humans themselves? Because
[11:41] apparently the Vatican has a whole
[11:42] department for checking if miracles are
[11:44] real. Imagine that job interview. So,
[11:46] what do you do for work? Oh, I verify
[11:49] whether or not God is personally
[11:51] intervening in people's lives. You know,
[11:53] pretty standard stuff at the office.
[11:54] Final Prayer follows three of these
[11:56] miracle investigators as they head to
[11:58] some tiny English church where weird is
[12:01] going on. Deacon's a skeptical priest
[12:03] who thinks everything has a logical
[12:05] explanation. Father Mark's the by the
[12:07] book Vatican guy with forms to fill out.
[12:09] Raise the tech expert who sets up the
[12:11] cameras everywhere because apparently
[12:12] God needs to be caught on film to count.
[12:14] I thought the whole point of God was
[12:16] like believing, but apparently the
[12:17] Catholic Church, they need their
[12:19] evidence. They're investigating reports
[12:21] of supernatural activity. Candles
[12:23] lighting themselves, objects moving
[12:24] around the altar, mysterious voices.
[12:27] Standard church haunting stuff that
[12:29] could easily be explained by old
[12:31] building noises and overactive
[12:32] imaginations. The local priest is
[12:35] absolutely losing his mind over what's
[12:37] happening. The poor guy is so disturbed
[12:39] that he jumps off the bell tower before
[12:41] the investigators even finished setting
[12:43] up everything. They probably should have
[12:45] taken that as a warning sign though to
[12:46] leave. They didn't because these are
[12:48] professional miracle verifiers, so they
[12:50] keep investigating. And they discover
[12:52] the church was built on top of an
[12:54] ancient pagan temple where people used
[12:57] to sacrifice humans to some unnamed god,
[13:00] which explains why this miracle doesn't
[13:03] feel particularly holy. The movie spends
[13:05] most of its time building up this
[13:07] mystery about what's really causing all
[13:08] these strange things. Then Father Mark
[13:11] disappears during what was supposed to
[13:12] be a routine blessing ceremony. Deacon
[13:14] and Gray hear his voice calling for help
[13:16] somewhere underground. So naturally,
[13:19] they decide to go looking for him in the
[13:20] tunnels beneath the church. This is
[13:22] where this movie takes the hard left
[13:24] turn into absolute nightmare territory.
[13:28] I cannot spoil this movie, but this is
[13:30] genuinely one of the coolest concepts
[13:33] ever in a horror movie. And it is so
[13:36] deeply disturbing, you just got to watch
[13:38] it. I can't tell you. You just got to
[13:40] watch it. I cannot spoil this for you.
[13:42] You just got to watch the movie. As this
[13:43] horrible thing is going on though, you
[13:45] can like see these people just getting
[13:48] roasted alive. That's the most Broadway
[13:51] I'm going to put it. Roasted alive and
[13:52] you can feel their terror through the
[13:54] camera they brought with them. They're
[13:56] never getting out of this. I think
[13:58] religious horror is disturbing, but
[14:00] human monsters in the wilderness are
[14:02] somehow sometimes worse. Nothing says
[14:04] romantic getaway like driving 3 hours to
[14:06] a place with no cell service to sleep on
[14:08] the ground and poop in the woods. That's
[14:10] exactly what Ian and Sam decide to do
[14:12] for New Year's Eve because apparently
[14:14] hotels are for people who hate
[14:16] adventure. They arrive at this beautiful
[14:18] isolated campground in the Australian
[14:21] bush, immediately notice another
[14:23] family's tent already set up. Except
[14:25] there is no family anywhere around, just
[14:27] their stuff sitting there. Camping
[14:29] chairs still out, food still on the
[14:31] table, like everyone just vanished
[14:33] mid-dinner. Normal people would probably
[14:35] leave at that point. Ian and Sam decide
[14:37] to stay and wait for the missing campers
[14:39] to come back. Excellent decision-making
[14:41] there, buddy. While they're setting up
[14:42] their own tent, the movie starts showing
[14:44] you what actually happened to that other
[14:46] family. Not all at once though, just
[14:48] through little pieces. A mom, a dad,
[14:51] teenage daughter, and a baby boy who
[14:53] were just trying to have a nice camping
[14:55] trip until they met two local guys named
[14:58] German and Shook. These are not the kind
[15:00] of locals who give you directions to the
[15:02] best fishing spots. These are the type
[15:04] of locals you'll wish you'll never met.
[15:06] German and Shook saw this family camping
[15:08] alone, decided they looked like easy
[15:11] targets. What follows is some of the
[15:13] most realistic and horrible violence you
[15:16] will see in any movie. They assault and
[15:19] just do horrible things to the entire
[15:21] family, but somehow the baby survives by
[15:24] being left in the bush. The movie cuts
[15:26] between this nightmare and Ian and Sam's
[15:28] pleasant camping experience. They're
[15:30] making coffee and talking about their
[15:33] relationship while you're watching
[15:34] footage of a family being brutally
[15:36] mauled at the exact same spot. When
[15:39] German and Shook realize there are new
[15:40] campers, they see another opportunity.
[15:43] Shook approaches Ian pretending to be
[15:45] helpful and offers to guide him in
[15:47] searching for the missing family.
[15:49] Meanwhile, German goes after Sam. Ian
[15:51] gets led straight to where the bodies
[15:52] are hidden. Shook reveals everything,
[15:54] basically taunting him with what he's
[15:56] about to do to Sam. Ian manages to
[15:58] escape into the brush and gets hurt in
[15:59] the process. Sam fights back against
[16:01] German and actually does some damage
[16:03] before running to the woods and finding
[16:04] the surviving baby. Now, everyone is
[16:06] scattered through the wilderness with
[16:08] two psychopaths hunting them down. The
[16:10] final confrontation is absolutely brutal
[16:13] and again, I am not going to spoil it.
[16:15] Everything I mentioned so far right now
[16:16] is just little baby teacups. Andy's just
[16:19] insane. Watch the damn movie. It is
[16:21] genuinely terrifying and it shows you
[16:23] how horrible human beings can actually
[16:25] be. But, it does it in such a clever way
[16:28] and the tension just makes this such a
[16:30] good horror movie. It is a completely
[16:32] realistic movie that could happen to
[16:34] anybody that goes camping. So, make sure
[16:36] you lock your tent if you go camping.
[16:38] The next movie we're going to talk about
[16:39] is incredibly disturbing for other
[16:41] reasons though, because it is a romance
[16:44] movie. Dating apps have trained us to
[16:45] expect the worst from every human
[16:47] interaction. So, when a girl meets a guy
[16:49] organically at the grocery store, it
[16:51] feels revolutionary. Oh, wow, he was
[16:53] approaching me in person while I was
[16:55] buying spinach instead of asking me for
[16:57] my Snapchat. He's basically Prince
[16:59] Charming. Well, that's exactly how Noah
[17:01] feels when she meets Steve in the
[17:03] produce section. He's charming, funny,
[17:06] not immediately asking for creepy stuff
[17:08] or talking about cryptocurrency, and
[17:10] most importantly, he's Sebastian Stan.
[17:13] He's very hot. We'll just get get point
[17:15] across. I can acknowledge, man to man,
[17:18] that is a very attractive man. That is
[17:19] like very important part of the movie
[17:21] though, him being attractive and like a
[17:23] kind gentleman. He's a handsome guy with
[17:25] actual conversation skills who doesn't
[17:27] live in his mom's basement. He's
[17:29] basically everything I'm not. So, when
[17:30] Steve invites her on a weekend getaway
[17:32] after just a couple dates, Noah ignores
[17:35] every true crime podcast she's ever
[17:36] listened to and says, "Yes." Because
[17:39] he's cute and he makes her laugh and
[17:40] sometimes you just want to believe
[17:42] people aren't terrible. Big mistake.
[17:45] People suck. Steve drugs her wine on the
[17:47] first night. Noah wakes up chained to a
[17:49] basement and Steve's personality has
[17:51] done a complete 180. Turns out the
[17:53] charming guy from the grocery store is
[17:55] actually Brendan, a cannibal who runs a
[17:58] very specialized business selling human
[18:01] meat to wealthy clients. And by human
[18:03] meat, I mean the women he dates. Noah
[18:06] isn't just kidnapped, she's literally
[18:08] turned into livestock. Steve keeps
[18:10] multiple women locked up in his basement
[18:12] surgically removing pieces of them while
[18:13] keeping them alive. Fresh meat, as he
[18:15] cheerfully explains while dancing around
[18:17] his kitchen like he's hosting a cooking
[18:19] show. The movie shows you exactly how
[18:21] this whole operation works. So, he
[18:23] packages human flesh in vacuum-sealed
[18:26] bags labeled with cuts like you'd see at
[18:28] a butcher shop. Takes orders from rich
[18:30] clients who want to try the most exotic
[18:32] meat available. He's got like a whole
[18:34] damn business model out of this damn
[18:36] hobby. The worst part is how casual
[18:38] Steve is about everything. He's still
[18:40] the same charming guy just explaining
[18:43] how he's going to harvest parts of her
[18:44] body for dinner parties. He even takes a
[18:47] chunk of her butt as a sample for
[18:49] potential customers, which is exactly as
[18:52] horrible as it sounds. That is the most
[18:54] I can say about this movie without
[18:55] spoiling the crazy ending, but it is so
[18:58] genuinely disturbing and also wholesome.
[19:01] And because it's wholesome, it makes it
[19:03] more disturbing, if that makes any
[19:05] sense. Like literally, you're so
[19:06] romantically cute in the first 30
[19:08] minutes and it's like, "Oh god, what the
[19:10] [ __ ] is going on?" It takes you for a
[19:12] ride and that's why it's an amazing
[19:14] movie. So yeah, if you're looking to
[19:15] date anybody, don't date a cannibal. It
[19:18] won't end well. What about identity
[19:19] theft? You ever talked about identity
[19:20] theft? Well, I'm going to talk about
[19:22] identity theft because remote work has
[19:24] really evolved since the pandemic. You
[19:25] know, it used to be you'd work from your
[19:27] kitchen table pajamas. Well, now you can
[19:29] just work inside someone else's brain
[19:30] while they commit murder for you.
[19:32] Technology is amazing. The Zesser takes
[19:34] the gig economy to its logical extreme.
[19:37] Tasya Vos works as an assassin. She
[19:39] doesn't actually do the killing herself.
[19:41] She uses brain implant technology to
[19:43] possess other people and make them pull
[19:45] the trigger. Then she forces them to
[19:48] themselves erasing all evidence of her
[19:50] involvement. It's the perfect crime
[19:52] except for the part where it completely
[19:53] destroys your sense of self. Tasya's
[19:55] latest job involves possessing Colin,
[19:58] some regular dude whose girlfriend
[19:59] happens to be the daughter of a wealthy
[20:01] CEO. The plan is simple. Make Colin kill
[20:04] the target, then Colin
[20:06] clean, efficient, untraceable. Colin's
[20:08] mind fights back harder than expected.
[20:10] What starts as a routine possession
[20:12] turns into a psychological war inside
[20:14] one body. Colin's consciousness refuses
[20:17] to disappear quietly and Tasya starts
[20:19] losing control of the situation. Their
[20:22] thoughts begin blending together in ways
[20:23] that aren't supposed to happen. The
[20:25] technology starts glitching. Colin
[20:27] experiences flashes of Tasya's memories
[20:29] while she's stuck experiencing his.
[20:30] Neither of them know who's actually in
[20:32] control at any given moment. Colin might
[20:34] think he's making a decision, but it's
[20:36] actually Tasya pulling the strings or
[20:38] vice versa. Things get really messy when
[20:41] Colin stabs the implant out of his own
[20:43] head trying to regain control of his
[20:45] body. This damages the equipment and
[20:47] tangles their minds together even more.
[20:49] Now they're trapped in some kind of
[20:51] psychological feedback loop. Reality and
[20:53] hallucination blur completely. The movie
[20:55] does not hold back on showing you
[20:57] exactly how violent this process
[20:59] becomes. When someone gets stabbed in
[21:01] the face with a fireplace poker, you see
[21:03] every puncture wound in detail. When
[21:06] skulls get split with meat cleavers, the
[21:08] camera does not look away. It's brutal
[21:10] and realistic and absolutely nauseating.
[21:12] The real horror isn't the gore. It's
[21:15] watching two people lose themselves
[21:16] completely as their identities dissolve
[21:18] into each other. Colin starts acting
[21:21] like Tajia. Tajia starts experiencing
[21:23] Colin's emotions. Neither of them knows
[21:25] where one person ends and the other
[21:27] begins. And the ending is just plain
[21:29] disturbing. It's a giant 180 that I did
[21:32] not see coming. It's a disturbing movie,
[21:34] but it's really damn good and that's why
[21:36] I'm suggesting it. Somehow it even mixes
[21:38] in body horror and that's one of my
[21:39] favorite horror genres. So, if you like
[21:41] that, too, you got to watch it. But,
[21:42] let's move on to a different part of the
[21:43] world. Let's talk about Indonesia. Why
[21:46] are we talking about Indonesia? Well,
[21:47] most horror movies give you breaks
[21:49] between the scary parts. Little moments
[21:51] to catch your breath, make jokes, check
[21:53] your phone. Maybe the characters sit
[21:55] around discussing their next move or
[21:56] they're having relationship drama, you
[21:58] know, standard pacing stuff. Well,
[22:00] Satan's Slaves said no, thanks to all
[22:01] that. This Indonesian horror movie
[22:03] starts with a mother dying after a long
[22:05] illness. From that moment until the
[22:07] credits roll, something terrible is
[22:09] always happening. There's no downtime,
[22:11] no comic relief, just 90 minutes of
[22:14] supernatural assault on this poor
[22:15] family. The Suwono family thinks their
[22:17] problems are over when the mom finally
[22:19] passes away. She's been sick for months,
[22:22] bedridden and ringing this little bell
[22:23] whenever she needed help. Death was
[22:25] almost a relief at that point. But, then
[22:27] the bell starts ringing by itself. Mom's
[22:30] ghost isn't resting peacefully. She's
[22:33] wandering around the house at night,
[22:34] appearing in doorways, standing outside
[22:37] windows, classic haunting behavior.
[22:39] Except, she's not trying to comfort her
[22:40] family or deliver some important
[22:42] message. She's being really freaking
[22:44] creepy. The movie hits you with scare
[22:46] after scare. Rocking chairs moving on
[22:48] their own, faces in mirrors, hands
[22:50] reaching out of dark corners. It's
[22:52] relentless in the best way possible.
[22:54] Just when you think you can relax,
[22:56] something else jumps out at you. The
[22:58] ghost mom is just the opening act. And
[23:00] I'm not going to explain what that pact
[23:02] is, but you will not see it coming. And
[23:04] once you see it, it will all start to
[23:06] make sense. What really makes this movie
[23:08] scary is how in-depth they go into
[23:10] building up this folklore. It makes it
[23:11] even more scary in the sequel, which is
[23:14] just as good. If you like foreign horror
[23:16] movies, you have got to watch this movie
[23:18] because it's so damn good. It's just bat
[23:20] crazy. And now we finally get to the
[23:22] most recent horror movie in this video,
[23:24] Weapons. Horror movies have this
[23:26] unspoken rule about what you're not
[23:28] supposed to show. Don't hurt kids on
[23:29] screen. Don't make violence too
[23:31] realistic. Don't leave audiences
[23:32] completely hopeless at the end. Well,
[23:34] Weapons doesn't really follow those
[23:36] rules. Weapons takes every parent's
[23:38] worst nightmare and makes it worse. 17
[23:40] kids from the same classroom vanish in
[23:42] one night. All of them leave their homes
[23:44] at exactly 2:17 a.m. and Naruto run into
[23:47] the darkness. Only one student in their
[23:50] class doesn't disappear, and everyone
[23:52] immediately assumes he's involved. The
[23:54] movie reveals the truth slowly through
[23:56] different perspectives. Because this
[23:57] movie just came out, I'm not going to
[24:00] spoil it, but it is genuinely one of the
[24:03] best horror movies of this year. I don't
[24:05] think it's the number one horror movie.
[24:06] I think Bring Her Back was a little bit
[24:08] better, but it is up there. And the
[24:10] scares here are so damn good. This is
[24:12] the only thing I'm going to say, old
[24:13] people are
[24:14] scary. These are 10 horror movies I
[24:16] think are actually scary. What do you
[24:18] think? Do you think I'm stupid? Do you
[24:20] think I'm dumb for thinking this? Let me
[24:22] know down in the comments and let me
[24:23] know if you think there's any movies
[24:25] that are more scary out there. And for
[24:27] the love of God, please do not just say
[24:28] Hereditary. That is like overdone point.
[24:31] I get it, Hereditary is good, but every
[24:33] other person on Earth has talked about
[24:35] it. So, it's almost like overblown at
[24:38] this point. We get it, Hereditary is
[24:40] good. Anyways, like this video if you
[24:42] want more videos just like this.
[24:43] Subscribe to the channel, and if you
[24:45] don't want to go to bed yet, there's
[24:46] more nightmares in this video on screen
[24:48] now, which you should watch. Bye-bye.
