This story is so convincing that it makes you think that this can be true. All those glaciers and the polar ice caps have kept many dreadful microbes inactive for centuries but as now ice is melting at a fast pace because of global warming, we are not far from encountering new diseases.
That's true not gonna lie But with those diseases there are several resources and minerals which might help with the cure to them and also can help with several other problems which we are facing Coz we don't know 🤝
Ah but you forget, that microbial life has been frozen for eons, they haven't been part of the biological arms race for ages and therefore wouldn't be able to interact with humans. Most viruses and microbes discovered in melting ice have never kept pace to evolve into dealing with our immune system like modern diseases and afflictions. Shit, hominids didn't even exist when some of these were knocking about fucking up dinosaurs lol. So we are safe from ancient diseases. Until someone in a lab somewhere starts fucking with its genetic coding. . . Then we are all rooted :D
Global what? What have teacher have been teaching you people? Baltic Sea keep getting frozen like it was for centuries. I have you know durning entire year ice getting melted durning summer and frozen durning winter but it seems more then half of humanity tends to forget about that. First was big bad global warming, then big bad covid and now big bad Putin. While the richest and loudest about those things flying their jets to grab grocceries, refuse to wear mask or get vaccinated and they send military equipment to help with more bloodshed on Ukraine.
@@freespeech3817 I know right, global warming is good for Earth because it traps The Heat and maintains earth's temperature but everything should be in the limit and Earth is getting very hot, it is not a Theory but I can experience climate change, irregular season cycles and here in India, summer Heat since 3 to 4 years has increased remarkably I am not saying this by data but by personal experience. I should be frozen at the same pace as it is melting to maintain the equilibrium but I think it is not freezing at the same pace.
Actually beware. This world has been pushing fungal use alot lately. But most don't know extensive research is needing done with fungus. The dark part of course is weaponization. Don't drink the cordyceps. Mark my words a fungal viral strain is in the works.
@@arkg171 Small, tiny correction. They found very very old devilry. Or, if something is completely forgotten and discovered again, is it new in that sense?
@@arkg171 "What new devilry is this?!" Oh yeah! Great line! Also don't worry! Or something? Hoped up on energy drinks enjoying life and feeling very silly xD Have a good one!
What's terrifying about the whole thing is that the main character as a renowned scientist really felt guilty after knowingly jumping straight to human testing..LIKE TF DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
She was pressured to find a vaccine for the soldiers who where dying. Her career and the lives of soldiers depended on it. her lab partner probably also agreed to do it. It was a risky play that failed.
This kind of story seems realistic. We have found ancient bacteria hundreds of feet under ice that is found nowhere else on earth. It's not that farfetched that an ancient parasite could be underground.
While realistic that a parasite is under the ice, its A) unlikely to be alive. Few parasites are capable of long term hibernation (think thousands of years if not tens or hundreds of thousands of years). B) very unlikely to be human parasites. Humans have only been around for 200k years (in our modern form at least), so geologically the chances they evolved at the same time as us, AND ended up encased in ice are very slim. C) most parasites aren’t parasitic towards humans in general. Sure we have a few, but there are millions, potentially hundreds of millions (if we include viruses, without then we are still in the millions) of different types of parasites.
It would take a miracle for an ancient parasite of any sort to adapt to the new environment, much more to be able to figure out how to kill humans within hours of infection and melting them together for survival
@Yeet Skeet The problem with that is that there was no one there before. Even if it had the heat of the earth, it wouldn't have any source of nutrition to be able to replicate and whatnot. It would've slowly died off after years, let alone thousands. Being frozen isn't an excuse either since it instantly crystallized and died the moment it got exposed to the cold.
@@Wheres_my_Dragonatorancient humans existed. The diseases you have found deep underground infected things before but by your logic they had “nothing” before. Humans were a thing in the ice age and so did other animals. It’s a mold, mold can go dormant for extreme lengths of time and feed on micro organisms
Thankfully such Bacteria wouldn't be able to infect humans thanks to never been exposed to humans in the first place. Still, there is a reason even space explorers go into Quarantine after a trip.
5:19 Nice touch with the classic Pepsi can. The movie's supposed to take place in 1984, and Pepsi had rather infamously cut a deal with the Soviets to A) sell their products and B) keep Coca-Cola out of the USSR.
We also have to realize and note that only about 7-10% of our ocean has been explored. That means 80%+ of our oceans may contain something we’ve never seen. Terrifying.
Most of the ocean if just sand, the parts we’ve unexplored are mapped. Currently we only have rovers that can go deep into the ocean. We don’t have any manned craft available currently for exploring the bottom of the ocean
Only 7-10% has been explored by humans but that doesn't mean we can't see the rest. Satellites, Rovers and Cameras have been used to see the rest of the ocean so technically it's not 80%.
@@xcept1281 using satellites, rovers and cameras count as human exploration.. and the number is still 80% unexplored "More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans" - National Geographic
Cordyceps is what it’s based on, and that exists right now, it infects ants and forces them to go to their nest and let out spores, infecting more ants.
Because we do not see the shape of an organism when it's been fossilized for all we know every single organism that we have discovered from before Humanity might have had who knows how many tentacles, but then because of some Predator far long ago back when we developed the uncanny valley in fact because that thing looked like us and it eradicated things that were tentacle having particularly effectively. But even though it looks like humans it did not like humans, so why do humans were evolving But even though it looks like humans it did not like humans, so why do humans were evolving our ancestors happened to have given birth to offspring that look like these things, but the humans still needed to tell the difference between one and the other and we are an imperfect copy. Therefore we developed The Uncanny Valley effect, and now they have either died because they don't do diddly-squat against things that are not stupid enough to get within the city and there are no more lands tentacle creatures which they were particularly effective at fighting they went extinct. For all we know we confuse their skeletons with early hominids because they took a similar evolutionary path to the one that we took, this might be because they came from a different branch that came from the same common ancestor. Their faces looked different, their bodies were Better Built than ours, but their instincts made them incredible at fighting tentacle having creatures when combined with their physical and mental capacity. And because at the time significantly more organisms had tentacles and they evolved out of the tentacles (removing a bunch of Flesh from the organism is not exactly the easiest thing to get rid of a species from natural selection) and now we are left with a now useless, or maybe they're still Among Us and a few people are one of them but they can survive because their nutritional requirements are the same as ours. And so these uncanny valley effect givers like I don't want to name any names but I think you know which c e o fits the bill, they might have been able to intermingle with our species because perhaps somewhere along the line the faces got just similar enough that the effect did not work and this confused this human-like creature. And this human-like creature is actually what's responsible for the traits we thought came from me and Earth all's, have you seen the more modern and less bias rendition of a neanderthal. I have and it looks very similar to modern-day Morgan isms that are similar to humans in skeletal structure and intelligence and even Behavior but yet just plain don't create viable Offspring no matter how many times we try. And these Better Built organisms are why some people have double bone density and other people are naturally stronger than others, and why some people trigger The Uncanny Valley effect when you walk past them in high school. But the conspiracy theorists are telling us that there are lizard people are something, but really they're not space lizards from space but rather a spot not to even exist relative of humanity that if it were to be revealed that there was actual proof to prove the existence of this thing where there is no proof to either support or deny its existence. If this were to happen so many things would happen in the scientific community, so many things regarding society as a whole, and maybe we could be more accepting as a general group. How do you sing how humans treat each other now-a-days, seriously if we learned that we actually have been intermingling with a different species that saved us from having a tentacle monster filled existence I think we would be more accepting to those who are different to us in terms of their physical appearance. And before you say that the people in Africa have the highest bone density, keep in mind that humans allegedly came from Africa and therefore this would be the best place for this to happen because where else would we be able to evolve in a form that makes us look like this thing that is not quite human because we are the imitator not it. We have nothing that's scientifically denies this, I Came Upon This from using only scientific truths, but yet there is nothing to prove this besides the things that I have mentioned and those are circumstantial at best. You do with this truth bomb what you will, maybe take it to Joe Rogan, if he can be the person that is responsible for spreading the message that thing causes Humanity to be a far more accepting and therefore more peaceful race, and this may in turn caused a whole lot of things regarding pollution to slow down because of list segregation and other things that are linked to racism. I can't do diddly-squat with this information besides what I'm literally doing to you. Have a nice time sleeping, for all you know one of these things are a multi-millionaire, for all you know one of these things were responsible for putting a man on the moon, we're all you know one of these bad boys were responsible for developing Rockets over at Space X, for all you know one of them is related to Elon Musk. For all you know mrbeast is descended from one of these Welbilt organisms we are impersonating, I might even be one of them you might even be one. For all we know Joe Rogan is one, for all we know every single person accused of being a lizard person was one of these, but they probably don't want to come out about us being species that evolved to look like them, and this Evolution happened because things that looks like that did not get eaten because things that looks like that happened to be very proficient at hunting a treat that was once predominant amongst all living organisms. But they probably be called crazy even if they were to be identified as a close relative of humans that intermingled with us after having already break down from The evolutionary tree just enough to be different but not enough to be a different species that would produce offspring that would either not be viable or not produce any Offspring with the humans. But then we might get things where it's difficult to draw the line between human and nonhuman, then there's a religion, then there's you we give these things different rates would probably pop up despite that we have been giving them the same rights. But then there's the question of because they are not human they're there for animal but then again they are human however they are not one of us, therefore we can use them in Labs( if you read Baki than you might know how much of what I just listed is actually similar to when is they debated sentencing the newly-discovered 250 million year old early human for the crime of sexual assault).
Anyone else notice at the start the infected scientist was stronger than 3 soldiers. Then at the end the infected girl was too weak to just punch numbers quickly.
Agreed maybe it was the Moss Manipulating him and him being able to grab the grenade last second to kamikaze....(Jst like how Sergie killed that other dude)
I think that the super strength would only kick in when you are fully under the parasite’s control. Because then your body no longer has those built in counter measures to keep you from over exerting yourself and causing harm to your body. I personally think it’s weird how they describe all the merged and melted people as fully alive and cognizant. Because the ants that are affected my fungus in the real world are more or less zombies. Alive, yes. But merely on autopilot. Like they’re aware but unquestioning? That’s the only way a fungus would be able to take full control of a host?
Why did he even come to surface? They should have blown the the place, open all shafts freezing it out, breaking all pipes to let freezing water in. And at worst leave message (sending warning ,questionable as people who come back). Just plain dumb to risk exposure. And the other scientists just could have told them the plain truth,instead of attempting to blow the place up with them in it, when he should have blown it up way before they arrived.
@@yeaokay8476 may he tried to go outside and warn/explain but his mind was already to far gone "like late drunk state" and the solution he could go for was the grenade to prevent worse
@@Crawlc Maybe but, again being rational and most likely observing what happens to others. They most likely knew they could lose their mind. The risk of exposure, too great. The choice should have been seal the mine. Let as much freezing Temps in, like breaking water pipes. And blow shift.
I think the inspiration for this movie was that once, people sent a microphone down there when they hit a cave and the sounds down at the bottom of the hole sound hellish to say the least.
i remember that. the sounds of hell video. heard it got debunked but it's definitely a classic mysterious video for the early youtube users. Im 25 now and i remember hearing about that video waayyy back in like 5th or 6th grade
She should have told the scientists what she discovered, otherwise they would venture into the mine. By not telling them, the scientists will become curious and go into the mines as well, just like her.
Not really, they would have gone down there anyway, and with tbe knowledge of an organism that strong even more so. Probably would want to weaponize it too.
@@eduardoceron4636 So you think it's better not to study it until ice melts in some place and it will infect people in remote villages in cold climate... And people will flee them and start to infect cities in warm climate? Why do you want for most of humanity (and animals) to die to this fungus?
@@Roboman1807 It's not a airborne virus or bacteria that infects lungs. This mold/fungus thing eats people alive after simple contact. And people who will come here after won't know what she learned. And it's probably not the only place where this fungus mold exists, so humanity is screwed.
@@tomxaider2058 that makes zombies, this creates assimilated abominations with the bodies and covers the most surface area possible, this is way more reminiscent of resident evil 7
" they're stuck on the wall on a giant melted pile of mold that has died of cold " 😤🥵😮💨 that bar kinda go icy 🥶❄️ literally considering the predicament they're in ☠️
Confession time,I've been watching these for an hour about I think..love these ! I haven't had time watching movies in whole,so I'm excited watching these recaps !
The far fetched part is the morphing and the speed of it. It would require some kind of nano technology instead of a mold to work that fast. It 'could' have been alien weapons tech that have been laying there for any length of time but if we are going fantastical it could be supernatural evolution of some kind. I would need someone with a specialization in the field to write a paper on if this could theoretically have evolved to fit the rules shown here ;)
Isu vault in Assassins Creed. In Tomorrow War, the spaceship the WhiteSpikes were found in the movie is exact to the location of another Isu vault. Also, the Marvel Shield Map details Namor in an IronMan scene. The same location is detailed as having an Isu vault in Assassins Creed. Those in power use media to convey indirectly the past, present, and future. Symbology is their language.
I mean that would be a weird movie :) so he is infected by this mold, and given everything we know he will be able to infect others [check notes] in 3 months. So all infected into a cold bath, lets cool their body temperature down to 17C ... to slow down the process... while we work on the antidote... It's Cillit Bang! ... Spray it on them, and chant the song of 'incredible cillit bang' watch?v=WGooQ8yYC0c
fun fact, there was a really deep hole somewhere in russia and the scientists claimed they recorded screams coming out of that hole like as if they opened a hole to hell
Another Fun Fact: Russian workers in Kolskaya Superdeep were just making screams out of the bottom of the hole, making reverberated echo through the shaft-and by that making fun of arriving scientists while gossiping about those noises to visitors during lunches.
Why would an elevator far below sea level be "depressurized"? Pressure far below ground would be higher than when they first boarded. Breaking a pressure seal (if there was a seal) would rapidly PRESSURIZE the elevator interior. *edit: increased barometric pressure could cause physiological problems related to hyperoxia, or too much oxygen, and also hyperbaric nirptrogen toxicity. But most of that is theoretical as no humans have endured very high pressures at great depths for long periods IN MINES (not underwater) because the temperatures are so high.
Wow, what a terrifiying movie because how it can potenially happen science wise and who knows what governments around the world are secrtly working on. Also, yes there are areas of the world that are unexplored.
Or, ya know, instead of blowing everyone up you can explain the type of danger that’s down the shaft and die a hero that disseminated critical information to fight a dangerous cronenberg pathogen monster. Or just steal a grenade, act irrational, and die and leave everyone around you still curious why you acted that way and still check the hole.
The problem is MOST governments would want to study it and weaponize it for their own use!!! If you're the only one that understands it and has the antidote you win!!!
@@normknapp4404 most people who make this argument don’t understand the lengths shady governments will go through just to have an edge on their enemy even if it isn’t needed.
It's a little more complicated than that. It was 23 cm at 12.289 meters, but it was one of side boreholes where they went for maximum deep result. They also had central borehole. Although, I'm sure there was no Recreation centers at 5.200 meters. It's a movie ^^
There is some fact about this movie, some ancient bacteria or viruses trapped under permafrost in Siberia could be released to the ground due to global warming and the permafrost melting.
I’m pretty sure other people have guessed this, but this movie shares things in common with the game ‘The Last of Us’. In my mind, specifically, ‘The Last of Us Part 2’ where you play as Abby but I’ll slowly get there. First off, both infectious parasites are that of a fungus that has mutated or been ancient enough to infect humans. The concept of this fungus is used on infecting ants 🐜 to bring them back to their colony to spread their spores sounds a lot like ‘Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis’, where in both the movie & game the survivors are slowly overcome by the fungus and act zombie-like with enhanced human strength or stuck to a surface where the fungus covers the surrounding environment. Secondly, the setting of the film (aside from arctic surface) looks similar to the sealed-off first level & underground setting of the hospital in Seattle where Abby has get medical supplies that is unavailable anywhere else. The grim & dark corridors reveal the molded fungus attached to the floor, walls, and ceiling with deceased infected patients attached to it. Also, Abby, like the protagonist in the movie, has to use a gas mask to prevent herself from breathing in the spores. Lastly, the creature hidden behind the metal doors in the corridor of the movie that kills the three soldiers, when shown later on chasing the survivors, closely resembles the ‘Rat King’ boss Abby fights in the hospital’s depths based on the creature’s appearance & description. It is said that the creature is an amalgamation of infected staff melted into one being, with each of them being ‘alive’ and screaming despite being merged together. While not exactly the same compared to the game, one could certainly say this organism closely relates to the ‘Rat King’ creature encountered in ‘The Last of Us Part 2’. I know it’s a movie talking about it’s own plot and all, but I just like the hints & references these movies can bring out for us to compare them to whatever we like.
The infection in the last of us is called "cordyceps" which is a real life parasitic fungus that affects ants (it was said in the movie as well in this recap) but in this movie it just seems like the cordyceps that affects ants are affecting humans too that makes them grow fungi all over their body and release spores
And also did you really only just played The Last Of Us 2? All of the elements you mentioned are literally in the first game BACK IN 2013, the movie is not about zombies, we are just bigger ants in this movie that contacts the cordyceps too
the fact the first science we saw he kill himself so he won't get the other sick and, in the end, the main character do the same cause she knew Russain would try weapon it
So the further you go down, the colder it gets got it; you know I always thought people can’t drilling down really because it gets too hot?? But who knew???
Oh that ending pretty cool! So the scientist with the grenade in the beginning was probably the same scientist that found out the mold is weak to cold.
I love this channel! I always screen the rankings and reviews of the movies beforehand, and when it doesn't look like a movie that I want to watch later then at least I can get the gist of the storyline and see how they approached the subject of the movie.
"We don't know much about the Earth" The rest of the Earth: Lava, the core which is talked to be kind-of like flexible like rubber, rocks, crushing pressure and gravity.
@@happiestcheese5915 omg it's another weird fish that we can hunt to extinction! Or not because it's really deep in the ocean, or we can make fun of it because it looks silly out of it's own environment.
@LibtardsStillCantSilence Me21 Rocks, speculated there to be water, you could surely find *maybe* caves and with it weird lifeforms adapted to not seeing, but nothing really that you can't try and imagine. Sadly our world isn't a sci-fi movie, there are of course insects that feel like they are, or few animals, maybe even bacteria and virus, but you get the point.
It’s real good, I almost didn’t watch it based on its movie score. But I feel like sci-fi movies usually get shitty reviews if it isn’t a Hollywood Blockbuster.
Anyone find the mold similar to TLOU? The way they described the mold that leads the ants to the highest place to infect the rest sounds like Cordyceps brain infection, similar to The Last of Us.
First came the book 'Who Goes There?', then 'The Thing From Another World', then Carpenter's 80's classic 'The Thing'. Just saying that inspiration is a long chain...
Humans don't learn even if you put a keep out sign more people will come out of curiosity. They should just quarantine the whole area and send in the military to keep a close eye, And sort of a guarded secret.
The biggest issue I have with movies with such cool concepts is that they always try to cram in unnecessarily dumb human "villains" of the story, who do fucked up things that no one would really do. No mentally healthy human is inherently evil. Even the evilest of people throughout history have had some levels of morals, and care about some people more than about themselves or their fame, and happen to be evil because of this extreme viewpoint on humanity, race, religion, or the world that they are taking to even further extremes, and causing death along the way, which is fucked up. But making characters straight up black or white morally like this is just bad character writing. This movie did NOT need those, especially because when those moments happened, you realized how inherently dumb that was, not to mention it was done by people who are already valued for their work enough to go into one of the biggest human sites on the world. Human greed exists, but this REALLY isn't how it works. My guess is that the writers add such characters and moments because they don't think there would be enough action and enough of a story if the only enemy is this "ancient parasitic creature", or whatever it is in other stories, but it ultimately ends up working against the movie, and making it seem less interesting and dumber. Additionally, am I the only one who thought that the struggle at the end in the elevator didn't make much sense?? Unless I missed something. Think about it. Why did they fight against going out or staying away? She wanted to crash the elevator, so the mold doesn't get to the surface, but, like...why does that matter? The outside has literal freezing colds. The moment they get out, the mold's going to die in a matter of seconds, lmao. The dude died for no reason. Correct me if I'm wrong, though, or if I missed something.
Id have to disagree on the “even the evilest of people in history had morals” bit. Hitler was good at art, and while still human, he was absolutely a monster in every other version of the word. Stalin was a monster in human skin (even moreso than Hitler). The man had no redeeming qualities. Mao’s only redeeming quality was his ethnonationalism that caused him to put the CCP supporters as higher than everyone else (leading to 10-15x more people dead than Hitler). There absolutely are evil people in the world. This doesn’t even get into criminals and everyday evils (child abusers come to mind).
@@antibull4869 Actually, I disagree. I took them into consideration when I said that. I think you're slightly misunderstanding what I said. When I say "absolute evil", it means not a single good quality in any way, shape or form. Meaning not only terrible to other people that their extreme viewpoint despises (like Hitler, Stalin, etc.), but even their closest families, friends, etc. Even people like Hitler, Stalin and such had enough morals to love someone. That doesn't make them good, mind you. They're still evil. But they don't count as absolute "MUAHAHAH" kind of evil, where you can't see a shred of humanity even in their everyday life they lead with their family. That's the point I was trying to make. That absolute evil, in THAT sense, doesn't exist, unless they have literal mental issues, that turn them into sociopaths, etc. Which is also why I said "no mentally healthy human is inherently evil". This is what I meant, so sorry for lack of clarity. And some movies and cartoons and whatnot have some of the least believable villains, that forego even the slightest of morals, just for the sake of the plot. People who are absolute assholes to every single person around them, no exceptions. People that, one would think, hated the world around them the moment they got out of the womb. Such people, mentally healthy people, don't exist.
