COBWEB (2023) Ending Explained 

If the parents were actually just trying to keep their spider daughter from escaping, then what was with the girl who was killed and buried in the pumpkin patch? Did the parents really kill her or did Sarah try to escape at one point and kill her while doing so? It feels like the writers forgot about that plot point as the twist was revealed.

I swear I wouldn't know about half of these horror movies from now if it wasn't for this channel 😂😂

The saddest part is the parents cruelty is what drove him to be so easily persuaded… they would always say they loved him but there was always so much fear behind those words

Wait, you mean to tell me that to protect their son from the monster in the basement they don't want him to find out about, they lock him in the basement where the monster is also locked?

You know it's horror when even Homelander can't stop it.

The mutant sister can rip people's heads off and toss them around like ragdolls, but she can't punch some holes through the drywall and escape? Can someone please explain that to me? Did I miss something?

Anthony Starr does such a masterpiece-level job with his performance as Homelander in The Boys, I always find it jarring to see him in something else.

Would have been cool if the parents were protecting others from their kids, because if peter gets too stressed or something he'll also turn into a spider thing. Very odd second half.

This movie had a lot of potential 😭 I watched it when it came out and it’s good but they left a lot unexplained! Like who is that girl buried in their backyard? Why is Sarah so monstrous? Also how is she strong enough to kill 3 with ease but not strong enough to punch a hole through the wall? Why did they lock Peter in the basement the same place they locked Sarah if they didn’t want him to find out about her? And so many more questions! It could’ve been so much betterrrre

In the perfect ending, she is weak and malnourished when she is let out, but still scary looking and evil. She still kills all the same people, but in creative ways that don’t require supernatural strength. For me, this film was great, but the ending introduced an unforgivable plot hole (she could’ve broken through the dry wall at anytime) that only exists because she is so freakishly strong.

The scariest moment of the whole film for me was actually the dream that Peter has. If you know, you know.

Seems to me all genres are having the same script problem the last few years. They try throwing in a twist but don't ensure that it actually fits with the world they've created, the characters they've established, or the tone of the movie up to that point. It's frustrating. Some movies are like watching two or three separate movies in one because of twists that don't gel.

Good misdirect and great acting. After learning that the sister(witch) killed the young trick or treater, it explains why the mother freaks out when they get a knock at the door from kids. If you liked this movie, I recommend case 39

Yeah, I too was riding the evil-parents = red herring. Peter was the real monster all along, haunted by the guilt of having done something terrible to Sarah. Like Peter went Damien on Sarah, forgot about it, and the parents were just responding to the situation as -poorly- best as they can. And then they added in a literal monster...

I actually think the story may make more sense than we give it credit. It's about a legacy of violence and if we can escape the cycle. His parents are clearly deranged, given the treatment of their children and what, possible, is their work in the pumpkin patch. We have then the sister who is 'clearly' a monster when the parents are monsters just in their nature. Meaning, it is evolving in a way. Now we have the boy, who seems normal but had very little to no hesitation in killing his parents and in pushing a bully down the steps, not caring if the kid died or was just injured. The sister saying 'You cannot escape' and the flash at the end of him being in the room and her behind him shows that he can physically move on but, mentally, he is still trapped with the family/with the shadow of the monster hanging over him. It just goes to show you that if you escape abuse and you learned that violence is a way of life, it isn't so easy just to 'escape' and be normal. The threat of being the monster next is within you.

Just have one of the parents be cursed to have weird spider monster children. The young girl who went missing could have been Sarah's normal looking twin or one of their attempts at a normal child. Then having the monster side developed around Halloween and leading to the parents kll her. This also adds to why they watch Peter so closely especially towards Halloween while masking it as oh this couple is just overly protective because of assumed fertility issues. Peter pushing the kid down the stairs is like small sign to them that he'll turn. Let Sarah have anger towards the parents but some care for Peter since despite it all he is like her. Leave it ambiguous of whether or not Peter truly is gonna develop into the same kind of monster as Sarah. The teacher could serve the same purpose until the end. Either her or someone else gaining custody of Peter after the bloodshed. The chaos being heavily pinned on the parents. Then end the movie on a knocking coming from the walls or Peter's closet letting is staying close with Sarah even if he's hiding her in a new house. Or have Peter and Sarah hold the teacher hostage as their new mom

It wasn't his room at the end. He also had different pajamas. I feel like they are leading you to assume he lives with the teacher now and has visions of his sister (hair on the bed that disappears) the ending visions are his fear.

in my opinion the parents are still evil, they locked their child away for being ugly. they locked their other child in the basement for misbehaving, whilst knowing their was a psycho monster down there. And the dad was low key threatening that teacher.

I liked the monster in Barbarian, she’s a product of incestual rape and I think it goes well with the abduction under the ground horror, so many real life cases of that makes it really disturbing. Even tho the biology is not scientific it still provides a good enough and very disturbing explanation on how she became that. And it does make her pitiful too when seeing her mother/human side

For once I’d love a film where a monster saves the kid and turns vigilante on bad people.

loved the vid! I think they chose the spider option bc cobwebs only show up in places of neglect, things that you don’t take care of. so it’s coming off as more so for artistic purpose rather than to make sense

I really liked it, I think he was very much going for a fairytale vibe. All the surreal moments that defy logic, the music, the unusual shots (like the garden full of pumpkins and shadow of the parents on the staircase) also the totally bonkers plot. It reminded me of that 90s movie The People Under The Stairs

The background change feels like a character development arc, ready to see what’s added to this collection 😂

Looking forward to the “talk to me” review. Always putting out great and informative content

Love your work. IDK if you are in transition in location, but I loved your collection of movies backdrop much more. Though, 2Ds statue gives many props.

Also there is the question of what's older - chicken or the egg? Did the parents locked Sarah up simply because she was deformed and then she got rageful and vengeful? Or they didn't lock her up for her looks, but only after she turned up to be a deranged killer (halloween girl)?

I think I would have liked this plot better: The people in the walls are actually the boy's parents, kidnapped and forced into the wall by a pair of supernatural entities (demons, fae, etc.) and the reason they're so angry whenever he brings up the knocking is they're afraid he'll discover their secret when all they want is to be his parents.

When I saw the third act of this film, I thought immediately: people either going to love this or goint to dislike this. Because, it was a rather radical shift in tone to say the least. But not really gripped out of thin air. This will probably one of these films that, once it hit streaming or physical will have to be subjected to a few rewatches. The film might not spell everything out, word for word but in hindsight, there were a few hints to how this all would pan out and what most likely was going on all along. How I interpret the events of the film (and I do like it when a film leaves room for interpretation): Mark & Carol from the beginning weren't the most stable people to have children. He was rather strict with a clear view of what he wanted his children to be, she had neurotic tendencies that flair up when things didn't go as she hoped. Not really the best start for a family but things got worse when their daughter was born. A monster, both physically as psychologically, Mark considered of killing the child, for the sake of all but the mother didn't want it. She wanted to be a good mother but not only where they well underequiped to deal with her, Sarah also proved to be very dangerous. Their first solution, to keep Sarah's violent nature in check, was to remodel the basement, to keep her locked up in there. At first, just in the basement but when she turned out to be even more violent than they could have foreseen, they created the pit. Until one Halloween eve, she escaped even that. This escape ended with the death of the little girl, coming trick or treating. They covered up the death, they buried the body in the pumpkin patch and they made new arrangements for their daughter, locking her in the walls. Only that was, she would have been safe from the authorities and everyone else from her. With their son, it seemed like a blessing. He was okay, he was normal and all was fine. Until he started to behave weirdly. Until he started to hear his sister. His parents didn't want him to discover her, they didn't want him to know the truth. But when he too started to act violently, they feared that he was becoming like his sister. So, they locked him up in the basement, as this might cool him down AND prevent his sister from contacting him. Meanwhile Mark probably tried to convince Sarah to stop talking to her brother, getting a gash on his arm for his trouble and also trying to prevent outsiders from discovering the truth about Sarah. That's why they also tried to prevent him contacting the outside world. If anyone discovered Sarah, they might take her away or worse, allowing her to escape again. Mark & Carol were way over their head, caught in a "cobweb" and the more they struggled, the more they got stuck. With every move they made to solve their problem, they made it worse: resulting in their deaths through poisoning and Sarah (the spider in this story), wiggling free. Or at least, that's how I think everything has to be taken. Does the film explicitely say all this? No, but does a film have to hold our hand or can we, by giving it some time and some thinking, make up our own mind about what did expire in the span of 1h30 (If they wanted to explain everything, they likely had to add another 30 minutes and there are enough horror films with a 2 hour time span, let's leave it). Now, do you have to like the film for this? No, you don't, I liked it though I had to give it some time to put all things in order. But saying it all comes out of nowhere... It might feel like that at times because your mind was going into a different direction (I had that that feeling in the first few minutes but by mulling it over, more and more of it clicked) but actually, the ending does actually fit the story decently enough, if you are willing to use the clues and fill in the details yourself a bit.

The word for the place where Sarah was being held captive is an 'Oobliette' , I think it's French for: a pit with slanted walls inside of a dungeon. The side walls are about 10 to 15 feet tall and about 10 foot in diameter like a cylinder and on top of that are slanted walls that taper up until it makes a 3 to 4 foot opening capped off with an iron grate and padlock. The only key is held by the king ( or prince or whoever?) The Oobliette gives the feeling that there is no escape. The walls can't be scaled and there isn't anything to grab onto. The prisoner is dropped in naked and usually unconscious. And the pit is never cleaned out so previous prisoners are still in there and the rats and the excrement and rot etc. It was a terrible way to die..... or so I've been told?

I think it would have been better if Sarah was just a ghost. The parents have already killed her and she's trying to use Peter as a vehicle for her revenge by manipulating or even straight up possessing him!! 👻👻👻

I like how from the outside looks like a smallish farm house, but the inside is HUGE. Also from the inside there is a large space above the front door with a window, but outside, no such space and no window just above the door. Also this isn't counting the extra space that monster's lair was taking up in which you do get to see some of it near the end after the teacher busted open the wall.

I have a theory that could cover the plot hole of *beware spoilers ahead* how she was so strong to climb walls and kill people but could not break through the dry wall and why go all the way to convince peter to kill their parents. deep inside she still loved her parents and since they decided to lock her up as punishment and ordered her to stay there she still obeyed them, still wanting to break free she then decided to convince peter to kill them because she couldn't do it herself, deep inside she loved them and knew she couldn't hurt them..and that's also why she couldn't kill peter, even tho she envied him living normal life..at the end she couldn't just kill him and wanted to lock him up so he would feel what she felt all these years.

ngl i felt bad for Sarah. she got out and all she did was protect Peter from those bullies. sounds like a good big sister to me

this movie is basically portraying bad parenting.. which is sad because.. I was a victim of bullying and I am just lucky enough to have a good parent who stood up for me. It was scary when group of people threaten you and daily basic and you can't even tell anyone that you are in distress.. sometime these horror movies are way too close to irl subject.

I use this channel as background noise when I’m working and cleaning, love his voice and how he tells stories

I'd love to see Beau is Afraid explained. I thought it was a really good movie, but couldn't tell you what it was about if I tried.

Always great to watch your videos. Been a fan for a few years, hope all is well, keep up the great work 🩵

Always so excited for your uploads. I always try to check out the movies you cover.

I do think that some minor explanation for why she was born a monster would have been nice, but it feels like for this particular movie you make a way too big of a deal out of the fact that it was a monster, Where a much more reasonable point than "Oh no, random monster in a horror movie" would be: "And how the heck didn't she break out before if she can, well, do all of that?" cause if I remember correctly, those walls did not get reinforced. so the moment she was in the crawl spaces, that should have been it. It couldhave been neatly tied together if the entire house had odd, subtle reinforcements. The door being surprisingly heavy. All stuff on the wall attached with magnets or sticky stuff, cause the walls are too hard to nail stuff. The windows being small, reinforced and not able to open. That kinda story telling stuff could have worked very well. An explicit explanation for something unnatural isn't needed, if it is framed right. If you build your premise on an initial assumption of "There be monsters" you don't need to explain them per se. After all, there was never an explanation for why there is magic in harry potter, why there are gods in percy jackson or the fact that pennywise and the space turtle exist in It. They were just the premise. So ranting about there being an inexplicable monster feels kinda weird in the horror genre, when a poorly executed monster is a way bigger problem to begin with.

I loved the rant toward the end about horror script writing these days. My wife and I watched this, and when they finally revealed the monster, I had no idea what was going on or how anything tied together. I'm glad it's not just me. Thanks for doing what you do.

Glad i can learn about so many horror movies from this channel

A little kid hears something inside the walls of his creepily lit and inexplicably large (for filming purposes) house? What an original, fresh idea for a horror flick!

Always love your videos! Happy to wait a bit longer for a new video if you needed the extra time. My horror movie group and I are FoundFlix enthusiasts and enjoy when you dive deeper into the nuances of each movie.

I wouldn’t be surprised my new house had talking walls. It’s had everything else. Also: using Sith Fury with a fly swatter against swarming yellow jackets and flies is surprisingly effective.

This film has more twists and turns than my unhinged life.

Great video as always! Please consider doing an ending explained on “Clock” (2023) with Dianna Agron! Super psychological and very open ending, would like to see your takes on it!

This would have been an incredible Goosebumps book.

I was expecting demon from all the secret voices in the wall thing and the parents being bad but the whole, they just didn’t like me because I’m ugly, bit was weird. Also that it turned into almost an action flick at the end. Did it have two writers?

I honestly didn't mind the twist, even her being a supernatural monster isn't inherently a problem, although it could have used a better set up. My problem was the inconsistencies. So this monster girl is strong enough to rip people's heads off or rip them straight in two, but not strong enough to tear down the thin wall that was later torn down by a simple fire poker in less then a minute? Or a metal grate held by a flimsy rusty latch? Or what about how she got overpowered by a small boy tugging at her hair? Also, the ending was moronic. Are they implying that the boy was going to go back to bed in that murder house like everything was normal? Cops wouldn't get involved and the monster wouldn't be killed or at least locked up? What exactly was that "creepy monologue" at the end? I'm guessing it was for the audience...

Man, I found your channel maybe a month or two ago and have really enjoyed the presentation and style. Seeing you completely rip apart a movie l, but in a respectful and explanatory way was just wonderful. Keep up the great work.

I have been subscribed to your channel since high school, and I worked on this film. So to see it on your channel is absouletly wild!!! Keep up the great work!!

It could have worked if his parents were afraid or expect him to turn as well. They become scared and distant after he started hearing those voices ( maybe at the beginning Sarah heard them as well ( yes i am aware that he actually heard Sarah ) ) And after he hurt someone, they were unable to think about anything better than lock him up, since that was the only thing that worked on Sarah. It feels like unfinished interesting story written by a good writer completed by creator of nun or Eleanore.

Watching the movie I'll say he's going way harder on it that he should. They explain she was born with defects and was born abnormal. Now they didn't explain why the 11 yr old was killed but I'm sure she killed that girl and they were forced to lock the monster away. You can see the mom still feeds her as she leaves the clock in the movie. So it'd explain how she's not feeble and the like. My biggest thing was with Anthony Star as the dad I already suspected the parents were sinister, but it follows alot of tropes in movies

I love your videos. They tell me which movie to watch and which movies to just watch your video and walk away.

I was really just so confused by why they failed so hard on the story. If the parents are desperate not to have Sarah get out, if they don't want their children to ever meet, why did they just gaslight him that she wasn't there? Why weren't they like OH SH!T OUR DEMON KID IS TALKING TO OUR NON DEM0N KID GOTTA STOP THAT! The parents actions make ZERO sense. If you KNOW there's something in the house he could be talking to, DO something about it, don't just tell him it's not there so that said voice can tell him to poison his parents?

Great movie. The script was great. And filmmaking was great. It actually scared me.

You know what would have made it cool? If the parents used to be monsters but when they gave birth to the son, they saw he was normal and tried to be better and hide it. With that they had to put the daughter who came out like them away, because she couldn't mask her looks. The daughter was bitter and wanted to kill the son for that reason.

You always bring your A+ game when you recap about movies always keep up the good work both you and James from Dead Meat

Ah man, just noticed the setup. Nice to see your play button! Congrats! But also, gonna miss the wall of dvd cases

Please do a video on Talk To Me

Damn you pick movies I can’t wait to hear about. Thank you!

I was looking into the symbolism of the movie “The ninth gate” and was surprised you didn’t have a vid on the movie. Imo overall you do the best and most complete job in explaining/describing the films in which you’re interpreting and would love to see your take on TNG. ✌️🙂👍

I swear, I've never heard of any horror movies you cover, but you certainly make them sound interesting

This story sounds like a scary story i was listening to on youtube. Im guessing its from Will Rayne, narrated by "The Dark Somnium." The story ended up having diffrent twists that were way better. The story is called, "I had A horrifying experience while camping in the woods"

I think this was actually in his head. The 'scary' stuff keeps changing, like even the stuffed bear with teeth and then being a normal bear. The length of the monster's hair changes and even it's face is more like a child's nightmare. The ages of Peter and Sarah don't make sense, as does her changing size. It would look like the girl that disappeared was kept in the cellar and died. In the meantime the parents had their own kid. The only reason why we think Sarah is Peter's sister, is because it said so. So either, Peter is being abused and has some weird coping mechanism and delusions (does not explain the teacher seeing it though). Or it's like a specter that manifested and is an actual ghost.

Again, gotta say, I love the new camera and background setup!

This is giving me some serious coraline vibes The little door, spider like girl The sister also resembles the Beldam a bit

I would LOVE to see you do 'Pet', with Dominic Monaghan and Ksenia Solo. Phenomenal and out-of-character performances for both, superb script and killer twist, but not enough people know about the film.

I think it's just a story of abuse and a kid snapping and killing his parents and they just did a poor metaphor of "the spider girl made me do it", but technically the parents did that to her, so it all comes back to them "abusing" their child There are only so many ideas and ways to go about the same metaphors of child abuse, emotional drama, drug abuse, PTSD, etc. and trying to put a spin on it. Subverting expectations and plot twists arent for everyone, and we will eventually completely run out of ideas with the amount of movies coming out each year. That's why remakes, sequels, requels are so hot recently. I mean, look at Halloween and Friday the 13th, only sometimes with a different setting and characters. Beloved movies for some reason, even though its the exact same shit time and time again. Why would they try when people eat up whatever slop they feed us?

Thank you couldn’t find anyone willing to see this with me so I appreciate this. ❤️❤️❤️

Keep up the amazing work your content is the best

There's some creepypasta like story with this premise. Crazy

Some of this movie sounds very close to tales from the hood, the story of the boy who was being abused by his step dad, he also drew a picture in school which prompted his teacher to make a home visit. Not only that, the boy also pushed his bully down the stairs at school!

Love your videos!!! Idk if anyone has ever suggested this but have you ever watched The Devils Tomb with Ron Perlman and Cuba Gooding Jr? That movie scarred me in middle school

no that ending was most definitely out of left, heck AND right, field!

Strangely i was reminded of Antlers. Mainly because both boys are left gripping with what happened to their families and if they will one day become those monsters/creatures Either way, those boys should become friends

YES I’m so happy you did this one! I’ve been waiting to see it

Ok your voice is so fun and nostalgic and reminds me of childhood. You make horror movies fun.

I miss your director's chair. Feels more like home with the old set up. Thanks for still turning the vids out tho.

I still dont get why the parents just dont tell the kid he has an evil super powered sister in the basement. Also why didnt the sister come for them when the mom found out she was out of her prison. And why didnt the parents leave the house right when they found she had escaped and is in the walls. His parents just act crazy for crazy sake. All they had to say was shes real, shes his sister, and shes evil, done.

Can u do a ending explained for the tv series "from" please

Bummer about this one. I was looking forward to it a lot. Great video, as usual!

Love the new settings. Best regards from Argentina!

I really enjoyed this film! It was unpredictable and I drawn in by how strange the parents were acting and treating the kid. I didn't necessarily love the third act for the simple fact that the creature doesn't add up but I was still entertained throughout.

Honestly i thought the twist was going to be the boy was some sort of monster and he killed his sister

The Coraline doll sitting behind you when you say “nothing good on the other side of a tiny door EVER” LOL 10:53

We love your rants!

In my opinion, the last 2 minutes of the movie, when sarah tells peter that he will keep seeing her, and the movie ending start with a song ''AM I LIVING IN A DREAM?'', tells that this whole story was in Peter's imagination. Maybe I am wrong :D

Somebody's Knocking But They Can't Come In. Come Back Tomorrow Night And Try It Again .

Love the vid. Please explain Wes Cravens They.

This really reminds me of FNAF Security Breach Ruin with the Mimic luring Cassie kinda like Sarah luring Peter they both act Innocent taking advantage of both Cassie from FNAF Ruin, and Peter from Cobweb like the whole Candy Cadet story of the Mom singing the Lullaby and the Monster using the Lullaby to lure Cassie we can say the same about Sarah luring Peter despite the differences anyone notice that

While I haven’t seen the movie, the twist really doesn’t sound that bad. I think they were going for an “abused becomes the abuser” angle. Maybe it needed more foreshadowing or just a bit more polish in general, but I do think this kind of twist can work.

Thank you for this. But im still waiting on the ending explained for "The Boogeyman". 🙏🏿🙏🏿

I needed you and you came back. ❤

that unexpected marianne shot 😭 that show is SO good and so scary you jumpscared me just reminding me of it!

so scary

It isn't just the channel. We are living in the worst period of film history.

I'm absolutely surprised nobody brought up the correlation to Coraline or the original book. I mean come on! A spider lady that lives in the walls that comes out of a tiny door?

If this movie goes The Boy then I'm passing on it. A lame twist handled badly is just not my thing.

SPOILERS! The reveal was explained, there is a shot when Peter is looking at his bed. It changes from being disgusting to clean. This is a fantasy horror from the POV of a psychotic killer. Peter. There is no Sister in the Wall. It's a story about the mental breakdown and psychosis of a movie horror villain, Peter. Why I love this movie, yet so many take what they are seeing as what is actually happening. It's an "Unreliable Narrator" story. Ending Explained? Not so much when you don't understand what is really happening. It's not Barbarian or Malignant, it's just an annoying fast talking content RU-vid video.
