Each Year The Town Unleashes a Deadly Monster And Forces All Teen Boys to Hunt it 

Probably just a strength in numbers thing.

They clearly mentionned its to make sure the boys go hunting jack who s inside is full of candies. Yes, candy isn't a proper source of nutriment but u hungry you take what you can get. They don't want the boy to just go hide somewhere and let the night pass.

Kinda weird indeed. Jack massacres everyone, how the fuck they can keep pumping hundreds of children for each year's hunt? Lmao

​@@leoleo1035lots of copulation.

Sure they’d get tired more quickly but their survival instincts would start to take hold so they’d be a lot more ruthless than usual

Honestly, I may like this ending better. But that's my opinion.

The ending it has is better. Not all movies need to have a happy ending.

That’s a shit ending

Yes that's exactly how I thought it would end

Not necessary, but Kelly sure needs more character development

Maybe the magic forces it to attack the town or prevents its escape.

​@@korsekil That's what I figured.

What happens if it wins tho? Like does it get a house and 25k and can leave town? Lol

The local SCP agents catch him, amnestezise him and send him back with a implanted story😏

@@goiterlanternbase nah the tva soldiers come and reset the timeline

The whole time I was thinking Kelly was going to save him and break the cycle since it was the first time two people tried to escape together, but after that cowardly move, I was just let down after the buildup and potential "good" ending to leave the cult-like town in the dust. (Literally.)

What's the book ending like?

The bigots that are the directors of the movie should’ve made Kelly the main character.

​@@twstdrealityHow are they bigots?

@@twstdreality They're bigots if they don't make the side character the main character?

Well it looks like only highschool boys get to do it. So those boys either did not have brothers that went into the run, or where to young to do it till then so its always been just a story to them.

The one who kills jack is jack

I haven't watched the movie but I think that the reason why those boys cannibalized was because they were already mentally messed up due to the town's culture.

I can't survive 2 days without food. If I do I wouldn't have that much energy

@@roylle6346 I've gone as long as a week fasted several times before. Energy levels return once your body enters ketosis, hunger pangs go away once ghrelin hormone subsides, all in about two days. I wouldn't do a marathon, but the idea that you'll go insane for food to the point of cannibalism has got to be parody lol

did they turn into cannibals'?, or did they kill the butcher and raid his shop. Eating the candy the farmer puts inside inside the monster isn't cannibalism, because it's candy, not human flesh. I don't recall it saying they were eating each other, just that they were turning on each other and killing each other. If they were eating each other, they probably wouldn't have bothered with the butchers shop. As for them going crazy in the first place, it's not 3 days, it's their entire lives. They live in a crazy cult town that teaches all the boys to be violent murderers one night of the year until they win the prize, or get butchered by a monster. They starve their boys, then lock them out of the houses to be butchered by a monster, and the young boys can see all this happening outside their windows, knowing that one day, when their old enough, they'll be forced to live that horror too. Imagine, not getting to eat for 3 days, knowing the whole time that you are about to be locked outside with a supernatural horror. The fear alone would drive a person crazy, let alone the starvation on top of that., There's no way something like that won't make you crazy. Hell, I grew up in the inner city of Philadelphia, and just the culture in the hood is enough to have teen boys roaming the streets murdering each other for clout, territory, or just because they feel like it, and that's not even some supernatural horror thing, that's just because it's what they learned from the adults and the environment they are raised in. Now imagine being raised in this horror town, that won't let you leave, and makes you go fight for your life to kill a doom monster, that they create, fill with candy, and release each year, just so their crops don't go bad. I'm surprised their not crazy and killing each other on regular days, let alone Halloween.

You'd be surprised how ravenous you'd get after 3 days, zero food, intake, etc. You'd be in between civilized and feral, 100%

How do they turn???

Oh yeah that was a fun book like at the start u thought the boys were playing with stones but they were actually getting ready to kill the victim

I literally read that in English a week ago. Tf?

You sound like those questions they have at the end of books in elementary and middle schools

Funny, I suppose I do. I'm in a book club with three librarians and two IT engineers. @@twstdreality 😆

Ah, my readings don’t go back that far, though this does not surprise me.

Which book is that?

Commeting to get the book name too. Sounds intriguing.

@@stephw.7874 Apparently the book has the same name: Dark Harvest. 👍

It is called Dark Harvest 🎯

Thank you! I'll have to check out the book sometime! 😊

Completely low IQ take.

Only teen boys, and it seems like the boys had to be 18

You're over thinking it. It's just reference how ancient civilizations used to do human sacrifices for the harvest.

Nice analogy my friend

No it's FFX lol

Probably an adult shot him and then the adult was "leaving" the town and willingly gets killed

Jack represents world war 2. So im guessing if he reaches the church the war comes home as a dust storm or tornado disaster.

​@@xisigmaJack represents America. If he reaches the Church, America would start a new Empire.

There is a book called dark harvest there he reaches the church destroys the town and sets everyone free so it was most likely a lie to make people want to go

In the book, Jim doesn't have a brother and no girls are a focus point in the story. The teens learn the truth and decide to help Jim who basically breaks the town's 'curse' when he arrives in the church and killing the police officer. It's honestly a better ending but I still enjoyed the film. The book follows Jim so the reader knows going in what's happening.

Okay Columbo.

@@jacktorrance2633 "You know my wife, she's loves this Run stuff. Can't get enough of it. She mentioned something quite interesting about the winners though. You see, nobody ever hears from them again. No record of them ever existing after they high tail it out of town. Aww, but it's probably just a coincidence. I'll get out your hair. One more thing.... I notice that guy, this Sawtooth Jack you call him right? Well, he has the same belt buckle as one of the boys in this year's Run. Now I consider myself something of a detective, and wouldn't you know it, that boy just happened to be the brother of the last Run's winner. Isn't that just peculiar?"

It’s in the first 3 seconds as well

Thank you! I was searching hard

Thank you

Movie name?

i think its cause he doesnt know them exactly or maybe cause its his dad and not some random

​@@marcierex4547yeah, remember in previous run, all the family member stay in the house. So no one could ever "wake" sawtooth jack.

He probably Only remember bits and Pcs of who he was, remember he been dead for over a year and hes also a Unjustly Murdered person those make the Most dangerous and Violent Ghosts/Revenants.

The answer is yes. 😂

You don't want to take all the male children. So yeah.

It’s cause sibling will likely recognise siblings - shown how Richie recognises Jim based on their special brother belts. Also a second winner can’t win a house for the family since the first winner already did so what a second house - to rent? Oosh can’t have that.

I think it’s more a situation like the draft was. They only let one son do it so the family doesn’t die out and people can keep the ritual going.

They explained it. One son per house because once their son wins, the parents find out the truth that their son is sacrificed to become the next Jack. They're sworn to secrecy otherwise they're killed and are forced to lie to their friends and family that their son is sending post cards or died in an accident far away. The reason being that, if the whole town knew, obviously they would fight against the system. Instead, only the winning family's know. And even if this was happening for 100 years, that would only be 100 families. The other siblings in that family don't know, they just know to do The Run every year, so when they grow up and move out their parents house and have their own family, they teach their kids to do the Run and continue the ritual. Where they find out the truth once their kid wins and rinse and repeat.

I'm gonna have to find that book!

@@susanpalmer3796 Dark Harvest, by Norman partridge. It's not bad.

I finished the book-haven’t seen the movie yet. I absolutely loved the book.

Book name?

I think it was a just a horrible year.

Many women with 1 man drrr

Yeah, "allegory" or "theme" is always the critique's excuse for bad and lazy writing.

Well, technically, humanity doesn't need that many males to reproduce. Way more women pass on their genes than men. That's why those boys are expendable.

Only one boy from each family. Most families have multi kids!! Also that was a bad year

Movie name?

The adults?

there is book? damn, i didnt know that. care to share title and author?

@@ApocGuy Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge

Lmao

if you win ,you lose

@@bladerj If you win, you lose and die. If you lose you lose and may die. Honestly, it is just better to lose.

@@bladerjif you lose, you lose

having crops. If there is no sawtooth jack there isnt food to begin with

not everything is a plot twist

Yup.

Same way Sawtooth Jack has supernatural powers.

They're not alive, their dead bodies are being posessed.

duh, it's all witchcraft, black magic and all that stuff

The person who become sawtooth jack is first buried (and therefor die) then on the next year they dig out the body, fill it with candies and then unleach it on the town. While its not show what kind of magic is done, its clearly magic as the creature is show to do supernatural fits.

Have you never heard of magic in your life bruh.

Well, the boys probably also raided the store to eat everything in there as well. So it was probably compounded so it wouldn’t get flagged.

Was just about to read this.

Book has a more satisfying ending. I dont know why they changed it for the film

Yup.

Cmon, why did you spoiled it. This was top comment for anyone in defense.

@@Sumirevins Why're you in the comments before finishing the video

I can't tell if you're pulling this from your ass or you're actually genuine. Whatever. Take my like anyway.

Ok

Awesome brother

Wtf. Why did you start your comment with a quotation?

@@DereliqueMahBAWLS lmao does that anger you?

Wut

Yes❤❤

I figure that, because there is something supernatural going on in this town, there could be supernatural things going on everywhere. The world they live in might be completely different than the real world.

No, next is Freddy Krueger

Would you rather have names as simple as Jason or Mike?

Maybe, Bob?

Lever Action Jackson

Movie name?

because they've been starved for 3 days, or are psychos, either 2

@@Caprin1You don’t get that hungry after only 3 days. 3 weeks maybe, but absolutely not 3 days. They’re definitely just insane.

@@joao34386 they didnt mean eating their organs as literally they prolly ment the candies
